The Villain's Wife (WN)
chapter-696

The more, Su Ma thought about Qin Yuanfeng's reaction, the more furious she became inside. Why was this man making fun of her?

"Yuanfeng… your father loves you so much. I'm sure you know that since you lived with him for more than twenty years, right?"

Qin Yuanfeng pursed his lips in response. All he remembered was his father being a pushover and doing whatever it was that his wife asked of him. "Why are you here?" he asked. "Are you here to cry in front of me?"

"I— That is not the reason why am I here."

"Perhaps… your head became muddled from too much crying?"

"No. Don't you really get it?" Su Ma snarled before she bit her lower lip, realizing that she had gone out of her character. "Your father needs you." She said meekly, hoping it was enough to convince Qin Yuanfeng her intentions in coming here were 'pure'. "Since the— the accident that almost cost me my life. He has been different. Distant. I think— I think it was because he thought your sister was the one who wanted to kill me."

Seeing Qin Yuanfeng stare at her, Su Ma continued, "I tried to convince him it was not Lily. I mean— she seemed really happy for me. She even offered to call me step mother. But it seems he still blamed her and maybe even himself for what happened."

"As his wife, I just can't watch him like this. I can't watch him wither away with his sadness." Slowly, her tears started falling down her cheeks. She eyed Qin Yuanfeng's apathetic gaze as she wondered if this man was really this difficult to talk to. If he was… she would be forced to use everything she had just to convince him to see his father.

"No." Qin Yuanfeng answered. "I won't see him."

"But— "

"No, Miss Su. I will not see him."

"What do you want me to do? Do you want me to leave him? Yuanfeng… I love your father so much! I can't— I cant just watch him act like this. Do you want me to divorce him? Do you want me to just— die?" She intentionally made her voice louder, hoping the people outside would hear her sobs.

Not long after, the door opened as someone served them some refreshments. Seeing this Su Ma made sure to exaggerate her reactions even more. "I am your father's wife now. It is my responsibility to make him happy. Please you have to understand this. If you really want me to leave him— then I will do that!" she bravely said as she held her chin higher.

"How could you be this heartless?" she added. "Do you really want me to leave your father?" She continued sobbing. Any man who was watching her right now would surely feel her sincerity and therefore sympathize with her.

Unbeknownst to her, Qin Yuanfeng was contemplating a very important thing in his mind. He had witnessed Chen Shi's deeds a few days back and he was actually afraid this woman would pull the same tricks on him. "We have a camera here that also records audio." He stated, hoping it was enough to scare this woman.

In Qin Yuanfeng's mind, many people would surely believe this Su Ma if she suddenly shouted that he is hurting her. After all, he was a six foot tall man and this woman was really small one. Moreover, she had been crying like crazy, as if Qin Yuanfeng is bullying her. As if he said something so hurtful towards this woman.

"What— What are you talking about?" Su Ma asked, confusion laced her tone. Why would this man talk about cameras?

"You can't say that I hurt you. We have cameras." Qin Yuanfeng said. First, he had been around Lily too much to know that women are capable of everything. Lily was capable of scheming, ruining someone's life and manipulating people. He had also seen a lot of women who acted so innocent and harmless but were actually wolves that could devour anyone at any given time.

Memories of Chen Shi's crazy behavior with Jun Liang and Thomas Lee swarmed in his head. What if he met someone as crazy as Chen Shi? Wouldn't that be too scary? He shivered involuntarily.

"Why would you even think I would do that to you?" Su Ma asked. Was she missing something? "I only came here to try to convince you to see your father." Su Ma only wanted Qin Chuan to think she honestly cared for him.

Lately, Su Ma had noticed Qin Chuan had been acting weird, staring at her while she was sleeping and muttering words to himself. This behavior scared her. Despite trying her best to make him feel cherished and loved, Su Ma could not seem to stop herself from thinking Qin Chuan already knew who she really was.

Seeing Qin Yuanfeng shrugged at her words. Su Ma became even more confused. "Yuanfeng… I am begging you. Can you at least see your father when you are not so busy? Perhaps a weekend? He would really love to hear something from you." Using her handkerchief, Su Ma wiped away the tears in her eyes."If you want, I can leave the house during your visit." She offered.

If Qin Yuanfeng would agree to this arrangement, Su Ma is already planning to use this opportunity to test Qin Chuan. Surely, he would not want her to leave during this visit right? This will only create another chaos that would cement the ending of their relationship.

To Su Ma, this is the best case scenario. A win- win for her and the man who gave her a second life, Zhou Huifang.

"No. I won't." Qin Yuanfeng answered. "I keep saying no. And yet, you keep on insisting and asking the same questions over and over again. Are you dumb?" he frowned.
