Chapter 338: Chapter 338 Going Crazy with Alcohol

In the evening, when it was time to sleep, Lin Xinlan stayed at the edge of the bed, keeping at least an arm’s length from him.

Rong Shaoze didn’t ask her to come closer, but after she fell asleep, he gently pulled her body toward him and embraced her in his arms before he, satisfied, fell asleep.

Because of his injuries, Rong Shaoze had to stay in the hospital for at least a week before returning home.

During this time, Lin Xinlan took care of him in the ward every day, even more like the role of a wife.

After Rong Yaozong returned home, Su Huifang didn’t say anything to him, neither crying nor making a scene, simply ignoring him and treating him as if he were air.

Having married into the Rong Family for several decades, this was the first time she had witnessed Rong Yaozong being unfaithful.

She had been strong and proud all her life; her husband had always treated her well and respected her, and her son had made her proud. Now faced with this blow, she simply couldn’t accept it.

Besides, her pride wouldn’t allow her to forgive Rong Yaozong that easily.

And some hurts, once inflicted, aren’t so easily healed.

Rong Yaozong knew he was at fault and not only apologized to her but also swore he would never betray her again. He begged and pleased her every day, but none of it moved Su Huifang in the slightest.

Facing Su Huifang’s cold expression every day, Rong Yaozong felt very downcast.

He had already admitted his mistake, so why wouldn’t she forgive him?

Did one mistake warrant the complete annihilation of his life, without giving him any chance whatsoever?

Rong Yaozong felt that Su Huifang was being too harsh. Which reputable man didn’t have a woman on the side?

Why was it not allowed when it came to him?

Moreover, it had only been this one instance of infidelity. He had apologized, and had even sworn never to do it again. What more did she want?

Did she really expect him to kneel and beg for forgiveness, or live the rest of his life looking to her for approval?

With anger and grievance festering in his heart, Rong Yaozong, after drinking, finally couldn’t hold back any longer and exploded.

He sat in the living room, drinking from one glass after another. When Su Huifang came back from outside, she glanced at him with an indifferent expression and headed straight upstairs.

"Stop right there!" he suddenly stood up, pointing at her, and shouted loudly.

Su Huifang turned to look at him, the corners of her mouth slightly curled, revealing a hint of a cold smile in her eyes. She did not stop, continuing to walk upstairs.

Rong Yaozong’s anger intensified. He grabbed a bottle of liquor from the table and smashed it to the ground with force.

"Su Huifang, I told you to stop. Did you hear me?!"

The living room fell silent for a moment, Su Huifang paused, turned slowly, and looked at him indifferently: "What, you get crazy drunk now? Or do you want to blame your craziness on the alcohol?"

"You..." Rong Yaozong pointed at her, his eyes red with anger, and asked with a sense of righteousness: "What exactly do you want? I’ve already apologized to you, don’t be ungrateful and overstep!"

After so many years of marriage, Rong Yaozong, although sometimes slightly tempered, had never shouted at her or spoken to her harshly.

Now, not only had he betrayed her, but he was also losing his temper at her, which made Su Huifang’s heart ache.

She suppressed the sour feeling in her heart, her tone still very cold: "Then tell me, how do you want me to react?"

Rong Yaozong was taken aback by her question.

Su Huifang looked at him sideways, her delicate chin slightly raised, her expression noble and proud.

In front of anyone, she had always been proud, with the demeanor of an elegant lady, and it was no different when facing him.

"Can’t you... forgive me and get along with me properly?" Rong Yaozong said with chagrin, finding it very shameful to have to make such a request to her.
