Wife, I Want to Eat Meat Chapter 34

Zhuang Sheng used the greatest courage, again emphasising: “You said you are a person who knows how to repay kindness. Right now, I want you to repay me, I want you to devote your life to me.”

Xia Ling Mei’s lips trembled, indeed she was already so angry she couldn’t breathe, unable 

to say half a word.

Xia Fen stared blankly, only feeling the lively small courtyard for most of the day had suddenly calmed like stilled water, a drop of a pin could be heard. Mother’s arms around him tightened more and more, wanting to break his bones. In his very small mind a burst of panic swiftly appeared, and not acting out, he only loudly shouted: “Adoptive mother it’s me!” Unwaveringly holding Xia Ling Mei’s neck tighter, his chubby b.u.t.t sticking up, angry towards everyone.

Xia Ling Mei was so angry she smiled: “Zhuang Sheng, you ought to know, I am already long ago a married woman, if I was able to remarry, even if my husband was here, even if he wasn’t, I wouldn’t so easily repay kindness with my person. If you’re sincere, apart from me and Xia Fen, you can make use of any of my other mere worldly possessions. The Xia family doesn’t have much land, but we have some riches and influence.” The successive generations of the Xia family had ama.s.sed wealth over hundreds of years, low profiled and calm, easily making it hard for people to ask for favours and seek compensation. Xia Ling Mei promising in this way, had already greatly broken the bottom line of the Xia family. Xia Ling Mei promised a large amount, later she may have to contribute even more than that, maybe a small repayment of kindness, will tire her throughout her life, too late to remorse.

Zhuang Sheng himself was a qian s.h.i.+ tong, for Xia Ling Mei he had specially investigated the Xia family’s background, further more he knew these sort of things somewhat well. But he still firmly said: “I want you, even more wealth and power couldn’t compare to a single hair of yours.” He also looked at Xia Fen, “Marry me, I will naturally treat Xia Fen as mine, in no way treat him unfairly.”

Xia Fen understood these words, angrily saying: “I do not want a cheap daddy.” He subconsciously glanced at the motionless as a mountain w.a.n.g Yun Feng, his lips curled together, again tightening his grip on Xia Ling Mei even more.

Zhuang Sheng lightly laughed: “Small child doesn’t know the advantage of having a daddy, at least, afterwards if someone humiliates you, I will give it my all to take revenge on behalf of you, not allow outsiders to hurt you a little bit. I will be like your adoptive mother, protect you, love you, not allowing any little mishaps.”

Xia Fen pulled a face at him: “You are a skirt-chaser, you’re best at sweet speeches and honeyed words. General Xia said, a person who is nice to me for no reason, maybe wants to sell me off pound for pound, then kidnap adoptive mother.” s.h.i.+fting his chubby waist, 

“Adoptive mother, you can’t easily be scammed by people. My flesh isn’t tasty, don’t sell me to someone.” With a childish tone and manner, although his words were crude, his words stung, the nearby people who heard grinned from ear to ear.

Xia Ling Mei knew Xia Fen was the best at being dramatic, before on the boats he would frequently throw insults with those soldiers, best at inverting right and wrong with babbling nonsense. However, he couldn’t even say most of the reasons, she could only pat her son on the back, making Ying s.h.i.+ bring out clothes for him to wear, while she smiled she said to Zhuang Sheng: “A good woman does not take a second husband. Zhuang Sheng, if you’re set on marrying me, then it won’t be good for me, rather it would hurt me, it would ruin my reputation.”

Zhuang Sheng said nonchalantly: “We are people of the Jianghu, we don’t care for using those false reputations for benefits. I am genuine and sincere, as long as you marry me, naturally I would protect you and prevent you from being hurt in the slightest.”

Xia Ling Mei laughed grimly: “Gossip is a fearful thing, from the moment you proposed such a request, you had already put me in a heartless, unjust, not loyal, unfilial position, this is protecting me? Even in the Jianghu, there is no such thing as forcing someone to marry you.”

Zhuang Sheng clucked his tongue: “How is this forcing, this is only repaying kindness.”

The two people were measure for measure, not yielding a single step. Xia Ling Mei only felt herself preaching to deaf ears, at her wit’s end.

w.a.n.g Yun Feng took a step forward, pulling Xia Ling Mei behind him, indifferently saying: “You a person of the Jianghu, no need to press hard on a feeble woman and young child. Ling Mei owes you a life, she cannot devote her life to you, you also don’t want wealth or power. Then, as her husband, I will take responsibility, repay you with a life on behalf of her.”

Everyone jolted to a halt, incredulously looking at w.a.n.g Yun Feng.

Xia Ling Mei subconsciously grabbed his back, only feeling profoundly helpless.

That time when she fell off the cliff, no one had thought Zhuang Sheng would protect her, even she was surprised, she truly could not understand why the other person cared about her in such a way. If the other person really wanted to marry her, apart from the Xia family objecting to it, even she herself would also be unwilling in every way. When she promised she would repay his kindness, she did not consider marrying him, right now after picking up the pieces and starting anew with w.a.n.g Yun Feng, what’s more she cannot abandon w.a.n.g Yun Feng once again, make him guard the w.a.n.g residence all alone living a life of desolation.

Xia Ling Mei had a firm temper, she was unwilling to hopelessly muddle with Zhuang Sheng, w.a.n.g Yun Feng had an extreme disposition, what’s more he could not tolerate a man without clear distinguishable grat.i.tude and grudges by her side.

“Since it’s like this, I will repay you with a life.” Finished speaking, she had already very quickly taken out the treasured knife from Xia Fen’s waist, wanting to stab herself in the stomach. An unforeseen event, Ying s.h.i.+ and Xiu Yu only had time to shriek.

Drops of blood splashed down, the edge of that knife stopped only a hairsbreadth away from her. w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s hand firmly gripped the edge of the knife, coldly saying: “I only said I will repay him a life, I didn’t say I want you to repay him.”

Everyone only felt their hearts were lodged in their throats, even Zhuang Sheng’s face paled, he did not think Xia Ling Mei would make a decision to this extent, saying not wanting her life and just taking her life.

When the words left w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s mouth, those people with a brain calmed down.

Zhuang Sheng’s entire body tensed, a bitter and hateful expression, he bitterly laughed: “Lady Xia there is no need for you to self-harm. This is you using your own life to seize mine, making me so grieved as to wish I was dead incessantly remorseful”

Xia Ling Mei did not even look at him, only tightly kneading the knife handle, looking at the bursts of blood flowers on the floor: “Why?”

Zhuang Sheng hoa.r.s.ely laughed twice: “You know how I feel about you, naturally you know I would hate to hurt you. You committing suicide is using my love for you to purely threaten me.” His expression was complicated, quietly: “Your using your life to gamble with the feelings I have for you, so cruel.”

Xia Ling Mei lowered her head, from her voice you could hear she was lightly laughing: “If 

I’m not a little bit cruel, then how can I make you let me go.”

Zhuang Sheng’s face suddenly changed to displeasure: “Then fine, I don’t want your life. Lord w.a.n.g, you acknowledge yourself as her husband, the husband pays off the wife’s debt, right?”

w.a.n.g Yun Feng brows stayed creased together: “That was my intention.” Also not afraid of pain, immediately following along the handle of the knife, from Xia Ling Mei’s hand he wrestled the treasured knife over, sliding it across the palm of his hand, blood flowed more and more extensively.

Xia Ling Mei tried to seize the treasured knife several times away, he also did not know where he had learned to be such an expert at avoiding capture, blocking her approach, the two people dazzlingly exchanged tens of blows in the air, Xia Ling Mei saw his movements, she could only think of the red blood in front of her eyes, this actually made his wound even more deeper, blood splashed more and more rapidly. Alarmed, she could only give up, her face somewhat paler than white paper, biting her lips she could not say a single word rigidly.

w.a.n.g Yun Feng faced her, there was no coldness at all in his eyes, placating her he said: “I haven’t been by your side constantly over these years, I owe you quite a bit. Now I can finally make up for it, naturally I have to wholeheartedly protect you from the wind and rain. It’s only a life nothing more, it’s nothing serious.”

Xia Ling Mei nose soured: “Who wants just your life, you want me to be buried with you. If you die, what’s the point of me living alone. At that time I’ll send Xia Fen back to the Xia family, where you go, I will follow, in the past I didn’t accompany you, from now we will never leave each other.”

w.a.n.g Yun Feng abruptly relaxed drawing in a breath, laughing out loud: “Fine.” He turned around to face Zhuang Sheng and smiled: “Where do you want me to stab myself? My stomach, or heart, or directly slash open my neck?”

Everyone surrounding them loudly cried out, further more Bai Zi and Hei Zi lept over, Bai Zi urgently shouting: “Master your life is important, let this subordinate take your place.” Saying this he was going to wrestle his knife away, w.a.n.g Yun Feng flitted by, sternly saying: “This is an important matter between me and Zhuang Sheng, outsiders must not interfere.” Once again turning his head, already staring at Bai Yan who was preparing to throw a concealed weapon: “After I’m gone, you and Bai Zi escort the mistress and the young master back to 

the Xia family together, there must not be any mistakes.”

Bai Yan grabbed Juan Shu’s collar pulling him back, his face tranquil and calm: “We sincerely obey the master’s command.”

w.a.n.g Yun Feng nodded, again looking at Xia Ling Mei, suddenly hugging her waist, suddenly kissing her lips. Xia Ling Mei’s eyes heated up, like this she kept her eyes open looking at him, full of hot tears they finally flowed down. Both hands holding his head, she couldn’t help kiss him back.

In front of everyone, these two people unexpectedly amongst the four social bonds of the world, actually started kissing.

The maids covered their mouths, stifling their bitter tears; the secret guards couldn’t help 

themselves and turned their heads, could not bear to peep; Xia Fen was stupefied, ignorant of the matters of the world.

However Zhuang Sheng only felt his whole body was powerless, long ago his legs could not withstand it heading to the pillar in the corridor leaning against it, both hands hidden under his sleeves could not stop shaking incessantly, his eyes firmly staring at the two dizzyingly kissing with pain and sorrow.

And so, Xia Ling Mei’s single cry of fear, everyone opened their eyes to again examine carefully, seeing w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s waist was already bending forward, his whole body falling towards Xia Ling Mei. On his lapel, very quickly layers of water coloured rings blossomed, once again more and more blood flowed out of w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s palm, each trail little by little flowed along the ground gathering into a puddle.

Xia Ling Mei supported him almost falling over, both lips trembling like a sift, holding the other’s hand tightly covering his veins, hatefully saying to Zhuang Sheng: “Is this enough? Do you need me to repay you once more, give you even my life.”

Only these words, easily hacked Zhuang Sheng to pieces. And all these people here, who would appreciate his sincerity, who cared about his suffering, everyone had flocked to w.a.n.g Yun Feng’s side, even Xia Fen stuck close to Xia Ling Mei’s arm, crying loudly in fright, totally oblivious as to how matters had gotten so far.

Zhuang Sheng almost dragged his feet out of that small courtyard, he didn’t imagine, Xia Ling Mei was fierce, but w.a.n.g Yun Feng was even more fierce. That slash, it doesn’t matter whether w.a.n.g Yun Feng lives or not, Xia Ling Mei could already not marry Zhuang Sheng. 

w.a.n.g Yun Feng completely broke off Xia Ling Mei’s and Zhuang Sheng’s marital fate.

As expected, he wasn’t his opponent.

Zhuang Sheng bitterly laughed, laughing until, the expression on his face was already filled with extreme pain, making people feel daunted.

Behind him, remained only the sound of Xia Ling Mei low calling: “Yun Feng, Yun Feng, don’t abandon me…”

w.a.n.g Yun Feng held onto her palm, only feeling weak, his head and eyes blurred, simply unable to say a word.
