Chapter 219: Wishing You Happiness
Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Wishing You Happiness
Tang Jingyao woke up with his head still throbbing.
He tried to recall the events of the previous night, but his mind was completely empty.
"Ah Yao," a familiar and gentle voice sounded in his ear, "You drank too much last night. I’ve made you some honey water."
Tang Jingyao turned his head and saw Jiang Ying standing by the bed in his pajamas, smiling sweetly at him.
Tang Jingyao suddenly felt that his headache worsened.
"Were you here last night?" His voice sounded raspy, probably from drinking too much.
"Mhmm, everyone was worried about you, so they asked me to take you home," Jiang Ying sat beside Tang Jingyao, still holding the cup of honey water, her cheeks unnaturally flushing pink, "but you wouldn’t let me leave."
She lowered her head slightly, and under the shadow of her black hair, the bruises on her fair neck were especially conspicuous.
Under the rolled-up sleeves, there were also faint bruises from fingers on her arms.
What had happened last night seemed self-evident.
Tang Jingyao got out of bed, slipped on his slippers, "I need to step out for a moment."
He hurried to the master bedroom, where the door was open and the maid was tidying up the room.
The bedding was folded very neatly, and a cartoon-style cup was placed on the nightstand.
"Where is the lady?"
The maid answered respectfully, "The lady went to work early in the morning. It’s a bit strange though; she took the car keys, but the car is still parked outside."
"Did she... When did she come home last night?"
"Probably after you returned," the maid whispered, "The lady seemed to be in a bad mood. I heard the young woman you brought back last night seemed to be talking to the lady."
The maid could understand the mistress’s feelings.
Which woman wouldn’t be angry upon seeing her husband brazenly bringing another woman home, who was then showing off in front of her?
"I see, you can go now," Tang Jingyao rubbed his temples, feeling as if a fire was burning in his heart, making him restless and irritable.
His gaze shifted and fell upon the piece of paper under the cup.
Tang Jingyao pulled out the paper and saw the words "Divorce Agreement."
The agreement was brief and didn’t demand much; it was clear that she had only one thought: to end their marriage and set herself free.
Without a second thought, Tang Jingyao crumpled the agreement into a hard ball and threw it into the trash can.
"Ah Yao."
Jiang Ying stood at the doorway, on the verge of tears, "I’m sorry, did I cause you any trouble? Last night, I was just worried about you and didn’t think too much. You... you wanted to be intimate with me, and I resisted, but you were too strong, and I..."
Jiang Ying choked on her tears as she spoke.
Tang Jingyao let out a long sigh and strode over to her, "It’s not your fault, don’t cry."
"Ah Yao," Jiang Ying threw herself into Tang Jingyao’s arms, gripping his waist tightly, "Although I really do love you, and every minute there I was thinking of you, you are married, and I won’t be a homewrecker."
She let go of him and stepped back, "Thank you for taking me in last night. From now on, I won’t bother you anymore, I wish you happiness."
After speaking, Jiang Ying turned and ran off, covering her face.
"Yingying."
Tang Jingyao quickly caught up to her and grabbed her wrist, "I didn’t say you were bothering me."
"But what about Miss Meng? She is your wife."
The thought of Meng Tian also gave Tang Jingyao a headache.
The hangover from yesterday, coupled with the shock from just reading the divorce papers, made it impossible for him to think calmly at the moment.
"Ah Yao, I love you too much," Jiang Ying hugged him again, "I can’t live without you, missing you is what keeps me going and gives me the strength to regain my freedom."
Tang Jingyao sighed lightly and patted her slender back.
Once beautiful memories, vying with each other, flooded into her mind like the most popular love movie.
"Ah Yao, if you can’t let go of Miss Meng, then let me move out."
Tang Jingyao frowned, "Yingying, what do you mean?"
"I love you, so I’m willing to take the lesser place, as long as Miss Meng doesn’t mind. I promise not to compete with her for your favor. Just remember to think of me occasionally and come to check on me," said Jiang Ying as tears streamed down her cheeks, like a tufted vetch battered by the wind, "I can go back to work at the gallery, you won’t have to support me."
"What are you even saying," Tang Jingyao cut off her monologue.
After a moment, he said, "I’ve booked a room for you in Jiua, you can stay there for now."
The room he booked in Jiua was a presidential suite, with top-notch facilities in all respects.
Jiang Ying knew that he owned many properties, all lying empty and uninhabited.
He could have picked any one of them to settle her in.
But he chose to have her stay temporarily in a hotel, in the end, it was still to avoid suspicion in front of Meng Tian.
The various reactions of Tang Jingyao made Jiang Ying more and more puzzled.
Did he really care about her, or had he already stopped loving her?
Just like last night, when she stripped naked wanting intimacy, he was completely indifferent.
The medicine Luo Qianqian administered could create the illusion of drunkenness, but it did not take away that ability.
If he wanted to, he could have sought pleasure with her.
Later, Jiang Ying heard the sound of the door opening and knew that Meng Tian had returned.
With that, she decided to go all in and created some ambiguous marks on her body.
After all, if she didn’t tell, no one would know.

After sending Jiang Ying to Jiua, Tang Jingyao drove to the district bureau.
The security guard at the entrance made a phone call, then told him that Forensic Doctor Meng had left for a crime scene.
Just now, the command center received a report that a body was found lying on the beach in the Shallow Bay area.
However, the nature of the case was not yet determined, and it was unknown whether it was homicide, suicide, or an accident.
Thus, Tang Jingyao went to Shallow Bay.
From a distance, he saw a crowd of policemen gathered ahead, with yellow caution tape strung around.
Curious onlookers were being dispersed by the police.
Tang Jingyao got out of his car, and the sea breeze blew over, helping to clear his mind a great deal.
Inside the caution tape, several policemen were examining the scene, and in the midst, lay what should be the body of the deceased.
A girl in a white forensic suit squatted next to the body, her mask covering most of her face, revealing only her smooth, full forehead, and a pair of beautiful eyes.
The hands in white gloves first pry open the mouth of the deceased.
Then, meticulously, she took out a tool from the kit, apparently a magnifying glass.
It was the first time Tang Jingyao had seen her at work, like the most outstanding and hardest-working student in a classroom when he was in school.
Always dazzling and attracting attention.
He leaned against the car, lighting a cigarette.
In the midst of the floating smoke, Meng Tian had already placed several pieces of evidence into evidence bags.
Lu Changchen walked over, took off his white gloves, fumbled a pack of tissues from his pocket, and pulled one out to offer to her.
It seemed Meng Tian wasn’t finished yet and shook her gloved hand at him.
Lu Changchen said something, then took the tissue to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead.
Watching this scene, Tang Jingyao’s entire body stiffened, and his gaze became profoundly deep.
