321 Love trial has begun

“Yes ma’am...,” said Chronos wishing it could go into hibernation. One shouldn’t be afraid of Zi Xingxi when she was talking but they should be afraid of her when she was not talking.

The screen changed and prime minister Ikeda’s face appeared his expression a little smug like he had won something.

“Wow... you look like you just drowned in a vat of blood,” he said finding it fairly amusing.

Zi Xingxi ignored him while taking off her jewelry. “What do you want?” she finally asked when she saw that he wasn’t speaking.

Prime minister Ikeda didn’t like the fact that he was being ignored. He pressed the tip of his tongue on his cheek in annoyance before sitting up straight and asking, “I have news for you... Do you want to hear it?”

Zi Xingxi wasn’t playing this game. She continued to ignore him until he couldn’t stand it.

“Your son proposed to Yi Chen.... do you know?” he said and Zi Xingxi suddenly smiled. She didn’t think her son would be the one to propose but it was the same result either way. Whether it was Yi Chen who proposed or Zi Han who did it, it didn’t really matter.

Seeing that smile prime minister Ikeda felt very irritable. It was like someone had clawed at his heart tearing him apart.

He sneered while averting his gaze before saying, “You planned this, didn’t you?... You actually think that I am stupid. After what I said you actually pushed your son to get married?”

.....

Zi Xingxi who had been accused of manipulating her son immediately retorted back, “I didn’t force him to do anything he didn’t want to. Now, what the fuck do you want?”

The prime minister leaned back in his seat before saying, “I thought you wanted to know who orchestrated your husband’s death?”

Zi Xingxi felt like a heavy boulder was pressing down on her chest as she closed her eyes. She wanted to know but information like that was absolutely not cheap.

“Are you going to tell me?” she asked as she gazed at him with an ice cold stare that could chill one’s soul.

“Yes... but it will cost you... the Marshal now knows what those two have been up to and he will force them apart. All I ask is that you tell your son to break up with him. That’s all.”

Zi Xingxi, “...”

“Hahahaha, what the fuck is your problem? Even if he does break up with him what makes you think he will give you a second glance? He is younger than your own son!” said Zi Xingxi breaking into boisterous laughter. This man had truly lost his mind.

“I know... I just don’t want them to be together. I will tell you who did it as long as you fulfill my request,” he said with a hint of annoyance on his face.

“Fuck off,” said Zi Xingxi seething in anger.

“So you don’t care about the person who planned your husband’s death? You would sacrifice that for the sake of a relationship that’s already doomed to fail? Did you even love him? You let him die.... you failed to protect him yet you can’t even fulfill your du-,” he said only for Zi Xingxi to cut his call and block all external communication.

She was literally shaking from anger and wished she could just rock up at his house and slice his neck right then and there. She would like to know who planned her husband’s murder but at the same time, she didn’t want to sacrifice her son’s happiness for it.

Despite that, it still hurt a lot. She stepped into the shower with her bloodstained dress and stood under the warm water washing away the filth on her body.

While Zi Xingxi was coming to terms with her decision, Zi Han was closing his eyes but was unable to sleep. He was hurting so much but it was hard to tell because his face seemed serene and calm. While he was lying there he felt a warm hand slip in between his arm and waist before pulling him close.

With his back plastered on the man’s chest, he bit his lip trying to prevent himself from letting out his repressed emotions again.

Yi Chen whose emotions weren’t stable either embraced him tightly while kissing the back of his neck.

He wanted to tell him what was bothering him but he didn’t want to wake him up. He could only embrace him with his warm breath brushing against Zi Han’s skin.

When Zi Han felt Yi Chen’s breath even out like he was sleeping he shuffled around and slept face to face with his sweetheart. Zi Han kissed Yi Chen’s forehead while cuddling with him.

He sniffled a little before he said, “I love you... so much.”

Yi Chen who wasn’t sleeping at all heard it and pulled Zi Han into his arms. Zi Han was a little startled thinking he was awake. His body froze in place for a while but Yi Chen’s body relaxed seeming like he was in deep sleep thus Zi Han sighed in relief as he buried his face in Yi Chen’s chest.

In a place, Zi Han couldn’t see Yi Chen’s lips quirked slightly. He had never heard him say it nor would Zi Han say it. It turns out Zi Han had been saying it all the time just when he was asleep. Those three words washed away all the dark gloom in his heart. It was all worth it. Zi Han was worth it.

Yi Chen was willing to let go of everything for him. He loved him so much. Zi Han was his entire world and now that he knew Zi Han felt the same way he was going to dive in head first and fight for their relationship.

Indeed he was going to have to fight for it because war was coming. The happiest day of their lives was turning into a nightmare. It was as though the universe didn’t want them to be together.

Pieces were getting shuffled behind the scenes and things were about to go south. Their relationship was about to be put on trial.
