Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 496 - Chapter 496 Chapter 496 Drawing a Cell on the Ground_1

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Drawing a Cell on the Ground_1 Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Drawing a Cell on the Ground_1 Nan Fei’s cold heart gradually softened to an extent she couldn’t fathom. She sighed subtly, feeling trapped with no strength to escape. In her past life, she hated Huo Beijiang and yearned to escape, to divorce him.

But until death, she couldn’t escape his cage. Everyone only knew her as Mrs. Huo, no one knew that she did not care about power and status, she just wanted to be Jiang Nanfei.

After her rebirth, she wanted to change her and her family’s fate. She had too many plans and did not want her second chance wasted on loving someone.

But facing his dominance, she kept compromising, kept softening, until she ultimately surrendered once again.

For him, she was willing to imprison herself.

How terrifying!

Nan Fei was scared, although she didn’t know what she was afraid of. She wanted to escape subconsciously, but she could not hide from Huo Beijiang.

Since her heart was already imprisoned, she could only stay by his side, trapped in the cage drawn by his name.

Huo Beijiang suddenly opened his eyes, the clear and cold look in his eyes was like the waning moon on a winter’s day, illuminating the pallid snowy ground.

A desolation like millennia of unmelting ice.

This was the real him.

His true self was unrestrained, flamboyant, and reckless.

The more Nan Fei interacted with him, the more she witnessed the different sides of Huo Beijiang. She stared at him, unflinching, unblushing, gazing straight at him.

Huo Beijiang, who just opened his eyes, was slightly confused. That fleeting moment of confusion made his handsome face appear childlike. If Nan Fei hadn’t been staring at him, she would not have noticed it at all.

He curled his thin lips, revealed a roguish smile and wickedly said: “Wife, I knew you love me to the point of no return.” And, after saying that, he rubbed his attractive chin gently on Nan Fei’s forehead.

Nan Fei’s delicate red lips curved into a beautiful arc and she casually replied: “Yes, I love you to the point of no return, love you enough to imprison myself.”

This time, it was Huo Beijiang who was stunned. He looked at Nan Fei in disbelief, surprise showing on his handsome face.

Nan Fei put her arm around his neck, leaned into his ear, and whispered, “So if you dare to deceive me, betray me, I’ll make sure you die ugly.”

She had given her heartfelt love, and she wouldn’t allow herself to be treated unjustly again.

She wasn’t that strong to withstand repeated estrangements, disappointments, betrayals, and deceit.

Huo Beijiang finally came back to his senses. His handsome eyes shone brightly, and he couldn’t help but smile foolishly, “My life is yours. If you want me to live, I will live. If you want me to die, I will die.”

Nan Fei laughed happily.

“Right, wife, since your love for me is nearly fatal, you should prove it with real actions.” That person didn’t understand the meaning of ‘shameless’ at all.

Nan Fei: “…”

What does ‘nearly fatal’ mean? His words made her feel like hitting him.

“Hurry!” urged Huo Beijiang, “Kiss me to prove your love.”

“Why should I prove it?” Nan Fei complained. She knew whether she loved him or not, so why should she need to prove it?

Huo Beijiang looked at Nan Fei with a gaze that said, ‘my wife is not being honest’, “You definitely don’t love me.”

“…” Nan Fei wanted to hit him, she felt utterly defeated.

How could this man twist the words so shamelessly and grandly?

“Come here!” she said grumpily.

“Okay!” Huo Beijiang willingly made his handsome face closer.

“Close your eyes.”

Huo Beijiang looked at Nan Fei intently, his gaze burning, “My wife is so beautiful, I don’t want to close my eyes.”

His gaze was too fiery, making Nan Fei’s cheeks uncontrollably blush again. She randomly touched his chin and said reluctantly, “Hurry, go to sleep! It’s getting late.”

She then jumped into the bed, hiding under the blanket.

From outside the blanket, Huo Beijiang’s joyful laughter was heard. From his laugh, it was clear that his mood was soaring.

“I will spare you today.”

Nan Fei suddenly regretted confessing to Huo Beijiang. He was too thick-skinned, too casual, and too rogue.

Deep into the night—-

The He family’s house echoed with low cries, sounding like weeping and complaints, mixed with sporadic curses. Little Tao, fearful of the consequences, secretly hid by the main door.

Just as she felt the cold and thought of returning to her quarters, a bright headlight illuminated the dim road.

The car stopped, and He Rongxi got out. Little Tao immediately went over to greet him.

“Sir, you’re back?”

He Rongxi glanced at the dark house and said unhappily: “Why aren’t the lights on? Where is everybody?”

Little Tao had already pledged her loyalty to He Rongxi after he found out about Jing Tong’s affair with Lawyer Chen. Now that he asked, she promptly replied: “Sir, everyone went on leave because Jing Tong had given them the day off.”

“On leave again, perfect!” He Rongxi sneered, his expression frightful. He purposely stayed away for a few days, gave Jing Tong some space, but it seemed she just loved to disappoint him!

“Who has she met?”

“Several people, and all were friends who came to visit her.” In just a few days, Little Tao had seen a lot. At first, she was shocked, but she felt excited, especially that very moment.

“Several? And they’re friends?” He Rongxi’s eyes seemed to emit a green glow.

“At first, they would come and go, without staying for too long. But this afternoon, two people came at the same time and stayed with Jing Tong in her room…”

Little Tao didn’t need to finish the sentence, He Rongxi’s imagination was enough. He thought he had hit rock bottom, but the words of Little Tao made him punch the car in anger, his vision blurred, and he almost fainted.

The woman whom he carefully selected, the woman whom he genuinely loved for many years, had all been a facade. She just made him disgusted, and it made him sick to think about their past.

“Miss came back this evening and went into Jing Tong’s room and hasn’t come out since. After those two men left, the two women have been in the room and haven’t come out.”

Huo Shurong stood far away, already aware of everything. Still, she was shocked and couldn’t recover for a long time.

He Rongxi gasped heavily, his breathing slowly steadying after a long time, he snarled through gritted teeth: “I got it! You can go!”

Little Tao dashed away.

She was not stupid. Knowing this much, she can’t continue to stay here. She didn’t know what fate awaited her. However, she had already prepared herself. Jing Tong’s jewelry and accessories had all been secretively hidden.

So, she won’t be at a loss in the end.
