Away from the won smile Fenli had given me, from the sound of the husband of mine body pounding her ass, from his betrayal.
On our wedding night I'd told him that I didn't hate him.
I wished he'd ask me again today. I sank down on a free seat, but I was still shaking.
Where was I going?
I couldn't run away.
He was probably already sending every soldier after me. I let out a choked laugh and got a few strange looks from other passengers.
What did they know? They were free.
I grabbed my phone and called Qina. She answered at the second ring.
"Big sister ?"
"I caught Fu Shao in bed with Fenli."
More people looked my way.
What did it even matter? They didn't know who I was.
The wedding announcements in the newspaper had never included a photo of me. I really didn't need any more attention.
"Holy spirit ."
"Yes." I got out at the next station as I began telling the whole story to Qina.
So I quickly moved away from the underground because that would be the place they'd look first.
Eventually I landed in a loud and dark place where burgers and beer were sold. I ordered a coke and a burger, though I had no intention of drinking or eating.
"Where are you now?" Qina asked.
"Somewhere. I don't even know. In a restaurant, sort of."
"Be careful."
I didn't say anything.
"Are you crying?"
I was. Again I stayed silent.
"Don't. Not when I'm not around to console you and kick his fucking ass. I knew he was an asshole. Damn bastard. You haven't slept with him yet, right?"
"No, I haven't. That's probably why he's off cheating on me."
"Don't you dare blaming yourself, big sister. Any decent man would have kept his dick in his pants or used his hand."
The burger and a coke arrived, and I thanked the waitress who lingered beside my table for a couple of seconds, her gaze lingering on my tears. I gave her a smile and she finally took the hint and left.
"What will you do now? Are you thinking of coming back home?"
"Do you really think Father will let me leave Fu Shao because he cheated on me? Father has had a mistress for years."
Nor would Fu Shao allow it. I was his, as Xu never ceased to remind me.
"Men are all bastard trashed."
"I can't forget the look Fenli gave me. She looked like she'd won."
"She wanted you to see it, she wanted to humiliate you."
Qina fell silent.
"You are the wife of the future of B clans and country. If someone humiliates you, they are practically insulting Fu Shao."
