Drunken words
Gao Wen’s hair was disheveled, and her silk pajamas were crumpled up.
Ye Cheng reached out to remove the bottle of wine from his mother’s arms.
Gao Wen, who was woken up by the movement, hurriedly snatched the bottle back. She hugged it
tightly in her arms and asked unhappily, “What are you doing?”
Ye Cheng was overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness as he kneeled on one knee and said, “Mom,
stop drinking so much. Give me the wine bottle. You should go and take a hot bath and have a good
sleep.”
Gao Wen stared at Ye Cheng for a long time before she said, “Oh, it’s you.”
Ye Cheng’s heart was filled with bitterness upon hearing the disappointment in Gao Wen’s voice. He
could not help but ask, “Who do you want me to be?”
Gao Wen tightened her hold on the wine bottle and shifted her body before she lazily said, “I thought
you’re that useless Ye He.”
Ye Cheng could not help but sigh. He moved to sit cross-legged on the ground before he calmly asked,
“If you don’t love him, why did you marry him?”
Gao Wen laughed. “Why? I want to know why as well. In any case, love and marriage are two different
matters. When it comes to marriage, it’s good enough to find a suitable partner to marry. At that time, I
didn’t have the right to choose and neither did he. Hence, we decided to get married. However, he
promised me he would stop his dalliances with other women after we get married. He wanted me to
give birth to a son so he could cement his position in the Ye family. I did as he wished; I gave him a
son…”
Gao Wen paused and unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle before taking a huge gulp straight from the
bottle. When the wine dripped down from the corner of her lips, she reached up and wiped it off. After NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
screwing back the cap of the bottle, she hugged it again and rubbed her face against it gently.
“What happened after that?” Ye Cheng could not help but ask.
Gao Wen’s eyes were unfocused as she smiled. “After that? A leopard can’t change its spots overnight.
How could he endure the loneliness and face a woman he didn’t love? Naturally, he began to have
affairs. However, he promised me! He shouldn’t have broken his promise! If he could not keep his
promise, then he shouldn’t have made them in the first place. If he had made it clear, I wouldn’t have
made a fuss. However, since he promised me, he should keep his promise!”
Ye Cheng smiled wryly. His sister was exactly like their mother. With such stubbornness, what men
would like them? How deep must a man’s love be to see past such stubbornness?
Gao Wen muttered to herself, “When I caught him cheating, I’d beat those b*tches up! Since they’re
shameless, I’d strip them ***** and throw them on the streets. I wanted to see how they were going to
face the world…” She laughed self-deprecatingly before she continued to say, “Those few years, my
senses were really keen. I’d always know when he was having an affair, and I’d always be able to find
those women. Those days were really great…”
Gao Wen laughed heartily before she took another swig from the wine bottle. She did not want to sober
up. “Son, don’t look down on women, do you understand? Since ancient times, many men had lost at
the hands of women because they underestimated women. Your father thinks he’s smart and
underestimated me. He thought that since I married him and gave birth to his son, there was nothing I
could do. He forced me… He forced me to retaliate…”
Ye Cheng naturally knew what his mother was talking about.
Ever since he was young, his understanding of women was based on his mother; women were fierce.
The person he was most unwilling to mention in front of his classmates was his mother. Although he
knew his father had wronged his mother, he could not help but feel embarrassed of his mother..
