Because I simply love you

Chapter 65: An outsider in her own marriage

Silence.

Nana was completely blank. She still didn't raise her head. She still didn't blink her eyes. She was still in a state of utter shock and confusion.

Then she felt the stinging pain of that slap. She slowly raised her hand to touch her cheek. She lifted her head to meet those enraged eyes filled with extreme anger and resentment.

Assistant Xin and Han Ru were flabbergasted as well. Everything just happened so suddenly.

Even Liu Jinhai's permanent cold face couldn't hold his shock.

"Huian!", he exclaimed.

He immediately stood in front of her.

"Huian! Why did you slap her? What is wrong with you!?"

"What's wrong? Why are you asking me? Ask her!", Huian said furiously.

"What should I ask her when even she doesn't know!"

She laughed mockingly and clapped. "Wow, what an amazing actress. She doesn't know?", she looked at Nana and said, "Really, Nana? Are you sure you don't know anything? About how you are very subtly trying to claim yourself as someone special to Jinhai?"

Nana furrowed her brows.

"Tell me. I'm still waiting."

"Stop it Huian. Just say it already. What is the matter?"

She snickered "Look at this." She showed her the picture on the cell phone. Nana's eyes widened.

Jinhai knitted his brows. When was this picture taken?

"Oh now did you finally remember something?", she gritted her teeth and said, "What were you thinking when you tried to feed my husband so lovingly? Who gave you the right!? Do you purposely want people to misunderstand Jinhai and you?"

Nana couldn't seem to explain. She was not weak who did not know how to stand up for herself when such a serious accusation was put on her. But, even if she didn't hold those intentions, from an outside perspective the photo was misleading. It could give the wrong ideas. How was she supposed to prove her thoughts at that time?

So, Nana didn't know how to clarify this picture to her. It would all seem like an act or some sort of pathetic excuses.

"Mrs. Liu. You are-"

"Misunderstanding? Right, since now you are caught red-handed, it all conveniently becomes a misunderstanding. Will you cry sympathy tears now? And what are you doing here in the first place? As far as I remember, the wedding anniversary got over a long time ago. So why are you still hovering around my Jinhai?"

Jinhai interrupted, "Huian, I can-"

"No! It's okay dear. I'm not blaming you. I now understood that she is really the same as every other girl who wants you. She is not as great as how Aunt Liling is thinking her to be. Poor aunt doesn't know that behind this facade, she is just a typical white lotus b*tch."

"Huian..." Jinhai warned her to stop.

Nana was about to say something but a grave voice came from behind.

"What the hell is going on?"

Father Liu had come to the office. At first, he came in a jolly mood to tease Jinhai about the picture but when he saw all the secretaries tensed and panicked, he figured out something was very wrong. He asked and they said how Huian saw the photos and went inside blazing in fury.

Huian cried, "Dad! Just look at what she did. She is trying to ruin my marriage with Jinhai. She is so shameless. Aunt Liling has liked her for Jianyu but here she is trying to covet my Jinhai."

Jinhai coldly stared at his father. He was starting to get the idea who took that picture.

Liu Hai narrowed his eyes. He looked at Nana and was aghast. He saw her swollen cheek.

"Child, your cheek! It's all swollen."

Huian looked at him like he was some stranger. She couldn't believe it. Who is the daughter-in-law here? How can he be concerned about her

"Dad", she cried.

She felt helpless. She was already on edge with those letters and it's a threat to her. It felt like she was going crazy being played like a puppet to the mystery man.

But when she saw those photos, she snapped. Here she was battling with an unknown person who was on a mission to destroy her marriage and there Jinhai had already gotten so close to Nana. She couldn't fathom just when they got so close.

And even if she wanted to, who will she complain to? She saw all those comments in the forum but what can she say to them? Even her own mind was thinking along those lines the employees were discussing. She herself started to feel like an outsider. She didn't want to but it felt like they were the ones meant to be and she has come in between. And that hit her very hard.

So, after all that, when she saw Nana talking to Jinhai in his office must now, her bitter feelings took over her. She was outraged.

"Liu Huian.", Liu Hai said in a stern voice.

She jolted. He had a very grim expression.

"Were you the one who hit her?"

"Dad, how can you question me? You have known me since my childhood. Do you think I will act like this on purpose? Yes, so what if I hit her? Ask this homewrecker! Her intentions are crystal clear. She wants Jinhai. Otherwise, why is she here even after the wedding anniversary is over?"

"I hired her.", he said plainly.
