Chapter 36

Jiang Li uses the pillow to cover me and said, "Guan Xiao Yan, what is the matter with you!"

Okay. The time to announce has arrived. I am not the type of person to drag put a problem. So if something needs to get resolved, it should be resolved right away. So I leisurely sat down on the bed and meaningfully asked, "Jiang Li, do you think we are suitable?"

Jiang Li is surprised. "What suitable or not suitable?"

Me: "Say, look at our personalities. Are we suitable?"

Jiang Li did not forget his narcissism. He raise his eyebrows, "Are you considering my idea?"

I can feel myself being pissed. "What I mean is, do you think we can be a couple? A couple in name only is also a couple."

Jiang Li thought seriously for a moment. "Its okay. I can bear you."

But I can not bear you! I roll my eyes and express my helplessness, "Since it has been very hard on you, dont bear it anymore."

Jiang Li unknowingly looks at me.

I use a relaxed and opened tone and said, "Then, should we divorce?"

Jiang Li froze for a moment, immediately hooking the corner of his mouth. He seemingly smiles, yet, his eyes make me shudder. As if he had heard wrong, he asks, "Can you repeat that?"

I gave a fright. "You you dont get too excited. Our personalities are not even the same, and I know that you cant stand me"

"Guan XiaoYan." Jiang Li grits his teeth, "Who gave you that idea?"

I trembled and stammered out, "How how could someone. I. I thought of it myself"

Jiang Li squints his eyes and sends death signals towards my direction. "I understand your brain structure very clearly. If it wasnt someone else, how would you think of divorce?"

Me: ". . . . . ." Do I seem that honest?

Jiang Li came so close to me that I can hear his breathing. . . I somehow became nervous. Then Jiang Li in a seductive and chilly tone said to me, "Speak, who did it?"

I bravely move myself to push him away. Turn my head to avoid looking at him. "Is it important who did it? The point is that you always bully me, okay?"

Jiang Li held his chin and contemplated for a while. "Well, I can bully you less but divorce doesnt work."

I became angry. "Why?"

Jiang Li with his thick skin said, "If you go, then whos going to cook for me?"

Me: "Whatever, when the time comes its not going to be my business anymore."

Jiang Li: "My mother-in-law wont agree, you want her to be sad?"

Me: "Its okay, my mom is quite openminded. After a while, it should be ok."

Jiang Li: "But you are afraid to sleep alone."

Me: "You dont need to worry, I could sleep with my mom."

Jiang Li: "What is your mom remarries?"

Me: "Come on, my mom is almost 60!"

Jiang Li: "Thats okay. Ill introduce her to someone. My college professor is in his early sixties now and hes planning to find a wife. Its lonely to live by yourself."

Me: "You dare!"

Jiang Li: "Watch if I dare."

Me: "Whatever. I will just practice sleeping alone." I do not believe, this old lady is already in her near thirties. My courage should follow the length of my age. It should have at least become a teeny bit bigger, right?

Jiang Li added, "I have one last trick."

I sneered, "Take out any trick that should save you now!"

And so, Jiang Li suddenly jumps on top of me, nimbly taking hold of the quilt and then pressing down against my body. He stares at my face, inching closer and closer. I peer inside the eyes that lets out light. The eyes that is both cold and hot. Anyways, it is very dangerous. Dangerous in a perverted way.

Like that, my loftiness immediately retreated as I nervously pry open my mouth. "You-you-you.. What do you want to do?"

Jiang Li lifts the corner of his mouth. In the faint light, that expression seems to convey the meaning of both mysterious and evil. He looks at me until my heart is shocked. Suddenly, he broke out a smile. His smile that can cause the downfall of anyone and seems to be incomparable to anybody. He lowers his head to look at me. In a faint voice, "First rape then kill or first kill then rape? You choose one." When he speaks, his mouth releases cold air similar to those that ice popsicles emit.

I got scared to the soul. I shut my eyes and shouted, "Look, look, you are bullying me right now. Why is my life so bitter ah"

I have not finish speaking and feels my body being lighter. Jiang Li had let go of me. I did not feel relieved so I opened my eyes and looked at him, afraid what he is going to do next.

At this time Jiang Li is hugging the blanket and back at his position on the bed. He looks down at me, faintly smiling. His tone is a bit gentler than before, "So you want a divorce?"

I turn my face away not looking at him and not speaking.

Jiang Li took a deep breath and said, "Ok, if you do meet a man that makes you feel assured and secure, I wont stop you. But other excuses, don't waste your breath.

If I told Jiang Li that the reason was that I was tempted will he choke me?

Me: "But you always bully me."

Jiang Li hooked up his mouth, "Then you can also bully me."

Fuck you, of course I want to do that. The problem lies with the fact of after I finish bullying you.

Jiang Li seems to have guessed what I has guessed at heart and proudly said, "In fact not only will I bully you, I will also protect you. Dont always focus on my shortcomings."

Are you kidding, protect me? Ok, though you did help me, but those are those motives were not pure!

Jiang Li acted as if he's reading my mind. He said shamelessly, "The process doesn't matter, the outcome does not change. And the outcome is that I can protect you."

I am a bit angry, but dont know how to refute him. He always has his reasons and when he does something wrong, his words will make others feel what he did was correct This person is really hateful and scary ah

Jiang Li sees that I am a bit convinced, so he added, "Are you not happy that you have a husband like me? I have a car and a house, parents are educated, Good looking, these are the hardwares. I dont smoke, I dont drink a lot, and have no bad habits, these are all the requirementsisn't it true?"

I hesitantly nod my head. Ok, those I admit.

Jiang Li took it a step further, "Besides, I'm a friendly person, and usually won't start fights with you."

I can only tiredly nod my head. That is the so called killing without seeing blood, yelling at people without bringing dirty words.

Jiang Li: "I am good to you ah. Also, haven't I always been picking you up from work as well as helping you go against your ex-husband?"

Once again, I nod my head. Though you took advantages in between, but I guess it can count as.helping me?

So Jiang Li raises his eyebrow, said fiercely, "Then what else are you not satisfied about?"

"I" I was speechless, how can Jiang Li be so shameless, flattering himself like this

Without waiting for my response, Jiang Li added, "The only reason why you always say that I bully you is because you are narrow minded, and you dare to use this reason to divorce me?"

So I reflected upon myself silently, am I really narrow minded? Maybe a little

Jiang Li continues to attack, "I know you have lots of thoughts about me, but think about it, at times when you need help, have I left you alone?"

I thinkhe pretty much acts right in time? Pretending in front of my mom and He Zi, chasing off Yu Zi Fei

And Jiang Li concluded his speech, " 'A gentleman gets along with others, but does not necessarily agree with them.'* Guan Xiao Yan, although we differ from intelligence, views on life, value and world, but we can interact and bare with each other just fine, the point is you have to have a positive attitude, or else life will be painful. I can tell you this, if you divorce me, you would be suffering even more."

*From The Analects of Confucius

I shook my head, stunned, couldn't refute back.

Jiang Li petted my head with satisfaction, "Sleep early, don't be vexatious, divorce is not the solution to everything. But of course," He paused, lstared at me with a threatening look, "If you really want a divorce, I can get you done first."

I think I'm like a behaving kitten right now the thing is I can't even misbehave. I was actually a bit startled, everything that he said was reasonable and irrefutable, plus the fact he is going to "get me done"*pounds the floor*, I'm such a coward

So I behaved and continue to sleep, no more talks.

Gosh, all my rebellious movements tonight were put down by Jiang Li's few words, I didn't even get to start the marriage crisis and it ended already. I felt like as if I used all my force and ended up punching cottons, feeling really low.

But on the other hand what Jiang Li said actually made sense, Guan Xiao Yan ah, don't focus on other people's flaws, if it was with other people, Jiang Li would definitely stand by my side.

I was thinking of random stuff. Jiang Li sighed beside me, "Guan Xiao Yan ah, you have no self-determination."

I closed my eye and ignored him.

Jiang Li said again, "To avoid from being fooled, don't listen to anyone's words."

I opened my eyes, "Including your words?"

Jiang Li raised his eyebrow. "You can try."

Me, ""

I closed my eye and continued to be a corpse.
