Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 448

Chapter 448: Liao Liqin wakes up (2)
In the past, as long as Du De was willing to show some weakness, Liao Liqin would certainly forgive her. But this time around, he was no longer willing to be softhearted. He recalled how Luo Huian had called him an idiot and couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

Was he an idiot? Liao Liqin did think so now. He was used and so were his skills but he never got the recognition that he deserved. Du De kept telling him that the reason she didn’t dare to fight with his family was because she was not rich.

Back then, he believed her. Thus, he helped her all the time. First she told him that she needed to make a name for herself but then she went ahead and said that she needed to create a little fortune and then her request moved on and settled on establishing a studio.

Now she was telling him that she wanted to go abroad and learn some new set of skills. Once she became a famous name in the foreign, she would definitely take him away from Luo Huian.

The more Liao Liqin looked at Du De, the more he couldn’t help but compare her with his wife. That sunny and cheerful woman who laughed and teased him.

The very same woman whose curves and beauty were to die for. He recalled the pure, jade-like skin that he saw in the room when Luo Huian was caught with Fan Meilin and then compared Du De with his wife.

Without comparison, there was no harm but now he couldn’t help but wonder if he was just being stubborn. Was he hanging onto Du De just because he wanted to prove to his family that he didn’t make a mistake? Because other than that, he did not see anything worth clinging to Du De.

He once admired this woman because she saved him but now that he had been taken advantage of again and again, those feelings had long frizzled out.

He raised his head and looked at Du De, who was smiling at him before signing, “I had no idea that a woman who can support and buy a penthouse is called poor, Sister Du.”

This was the first time Liao Liqin was fighting back, which made Du De look at him in shock. She looked at him and blinked her eyes again and again before saying to him, “Liqin, are you this angry? I ..I understand that you are upset but there is no need to say such harsh words between us, right?”

As she spoke, she tried to reach out and hug Liao Liqin, but the mer shook off her hand and signed even more furiously, “I am not angry. In fact, I don’t feel anything. In the past, I was indeed angry and thought that you would one day understand me but did you? No.”

“Do you think I am dying for the credit? I don’t care about that. Someone made a bet with me long ago that no matter how hard I work, no matter how much I love you—you will not care about me. And you will never give me the recognition that I deserve. Is it true that you are scared or is it because you do not want to acknowledge that you received help from me?”

When he thought of the words that Luo Huian said to him, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Liao Liqin could not believe that what Luo Huian said came true. Du De did exactly what she told him she would do.

Back then, he thought that Luo Huian was trying to sow discord but now those words and feelings came back to slap him in the face. He was the one who thought too much. What discord? What jealousy?

Luo Huian was looking out for him as his wife and he took it for granted.

When Du De finished understanding the signs, her expression twisted. She suddenly had the feeling that she might have really stepped on Liao Liqin’s bottom line. She always thought that this mer would follow her without any complaints, so she took him for granted.

Even her assistant told her that she should let Liao Liqin share the glory with her this time around. After all, the award was already in her bag and there was nothing wrong with Liao Liqin sharing the limelight with her.

But Du De had long gotten used to being the only one who was praised and thus refused to let Liao Liqin share the credit. She didn’t want anyone to know that she was actually relying on a mer to get to her goal. The better she hid this truth, the better.

Who would have thought that Liao Liqin would suddenly act up like this?

“Liqin..hey, there is no need to be this upset. I promise that the next time I will definitely do it,” Du De promised and started planning to disclose Liao Liqin’s identity in a small ceremony. She thought that it would be enough to make the mer calm down.

But she still underestimated Liao Liqin’s generosity and anger. No matter how caring and loving he was in the past, he too had a bottom limit.

He sneered and signed, “There is no need. I cannot afford to have such an honour.”

Du De’s eyes shrunk as she asked, “What do you mean?”

“I mean..it’s over between us. Do not come looking for me ever again.”

“AHHH….my head!” Luo Huian raised her hands and cupped her head. She felt like her entire body was run over by a truck and her head was hammered by something harsh and thick.

The lights hurt her eyes; the sound of birds chirping was so annoying that she wanted to question why they even existed in the first place and even her slow breathing made her want to stop breathing altogether.

“Go ahead and drink some more than,” snorted Xiao Hei as he looked at Luo Huian who looked as if she was badly hungover.

He rolled his eyes and stated, “You have always been like this. Once you get your hands on alcohol, you will keep on drinking. Who knows why didn’t you —”

Before he could finish speaking, he was smacked on the head by Xiao Bai, who shook her head and stopped speaking. She knew very well whose name he was going to take and she didn’t want Xiao Hei to ruin Luo Huian’s mood.

“I wasn’t—”

“AHHHH!!”
