Chapter 969 Ying: I am also a wife
Alice clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force.
She roared in anger, "You are the most unstable factor in the continent of Teyvat! Why can't you calm down? You will only bring yourself more trouble by acting impulsively like this!"
Facing Alice's rebuke, Shao Yun cursed back without hesitation:
"If the rain doesn't fall on you, you naturally don't know how cold it is; if the knife doesn't pierce your body, you certainly can't feel how painful it is!"
Alice knew very well what Shao Yun said, but people are selfish. Who doesn't want everything to go smoothly according to their plan?
So, even though she understood Shao Yun's difficulties, she still couldn't help but curse to herself: "You really deserve to die!"
However, Shao Yun was completely indifferent to Alice's insults.
He knew very well that the Wind God had been blown to ashes, and no matter how Alice scolded him, it could not change this fact.
It's impossible for Wendy to be resurrected.
(Dottore: It’s hard to say)
"Whatever you say, I'm leaving with my family. Say hello to your daughter, Keli, for me."
As he spoke, Shao Yun took Ying's hand, turned around and greeted his brother-in-law "Kong" and his own "Paimeng", preparing to go to Liyue to pick up his child.
However, just when Shao Yun took a few steps, he suddenly heard Alice's loud shout from behind him.
"Wait a moment!"
Alice's shout stopped Shao Yun in his tracks. He slowly turned his head, a hint of impatience on his face. He looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? You want to fight me?"
Alice stood there, feeling flustered. She didn't know whether she should do this...
But she still steeled herself, determined, and with courage she shouted at Ying, not knowing where it came from: "Ying, you don't know yet! He, he's married!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Ying's ears.
She had not expected to hear such news at all. She was stunned and unable to react for a while.
After a long while, Ying came back to her senses. She looked at Alice and asked suspiciously, "Who? My husband?"
Alice looked at Ying's confused expression and knew that she knew nothing about Shao Yun's past.
She looked at Shao Yun smugly and said provocatively, "It seems you didn't tell Ying that you were married before? You liar!"
"You haven't told Ying about your ex-wife Eliza and your child Isaac!"
Ying was completely enraged by Alice's provocative behavior towards her husband. Her anger was instantly ignited, and she shouted, "Alice, shut up!"
This roar was like thunder, exploding in the air, not only stunning Alice, but also scaring the people around her.
Kong recalled the scene when he was beaten by his sister when he was a child, while Shao Yun recalled the first time he was beaten by Ying.
Paimon recalled the incident when he was in Vimalakirti Manor and killed the undercover agent of the Fatui.
Alice was frightened by Ying's aura and suddenly wilted, not daring to say a word.
Seeing this, Ying calmed down her anger a little and turned to look at Shao Yun.
She hoped Shao Yun could stand up and prove that everything Alice said was nonsense.
"Honey, is what Alice said true? Were you married before you met me?" Although Ying's voice had returned to calm, a hint of uneasiness could still be heard in it.
Shao Yun also didn't expect that Alice would actually tell Ying the information the devil told him in front of her.
However, he quickly calmed down and thought:
His past was not something shameful, and he also believed that Ying's feelings for him would not be easily shaken by this incident.
So, Shao Yun nodded and answered frankly: "That's right."
When Ying heard this answer, her heart tightened and her brows furrowed slightly.
Although she had deep feelings for Shao Yun, this matter was so important after all, and Shao Yun had never told her, which made her feel a little disappointed and angry.
"Then why didn't you tell me before?" Ying's tone was a little dissatisfied.
Shao Yun responded calmly: "Because there is no point in talking about my past 'marriage'."
Ying looked at Shao Yun's somewhat strange expression. Beneath the indifferent expression, there was a hint of imperceptible sadness.
Ying couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Why? Was your last marriage unhappy?"
Shao Yun was silent for a moment, then touched his chin gently and told a heartbreaking story in an extremely calm tone.
"You can't say I'm unhappy," Shao Yun's voice was so calm that it was a little surprising.
"Well, they're all dead."
When Ying heard this, the slight displeasure in her heart instantly disappeared, replaced by deep shock.
She stared at Shao Yun with wide eyes, looking at him in disbelief, and asked in a lost voice, "Dead?"
Shao Yun just nodded slightly and repeated expressionlessly: "Yes, they are all dead..."
Ying was so frightened by the sudden news that she covered her mouth and was so surprised that she could hardly speak.
Compared to Ying who was stunned with fear, Shao Yun seemed unusually numb, savoring the memories in his mind.
"For me, this memory is from a lifetime ago. There's nothing much to talk about."
"Don't make such a fuss. I remember more than two years ago, almost three years ago, when we first met, didn't I tell you about my past?"
Ying recalled what happened almost three years ago, when she met Shao Yun, and said, "You just told me that you were abandoned by the companion you had lived with for more than 20 years?"
Shao Yun chuckled, raised his hand to smooth the hair on Ying's forehead, and answered from a different angle: "Look at it from a bright side. It was me who abandoned them, wasn't it?"
Ying felt ashamed of her displeasure at Shao Yun's concealment of the truth from her.
Then, Ying looked at the man who had always protected her with heartache and said:
"You should have told me about your past family... I'm sorry, I don't know how to comfort you."
Shao Yun looked at Ying who wanted to comfort him, and stroked her chin like a kitten, saying:
"To earn your sympathy? No, that would be of no use."
Ying now had the same thought as Alice did at that time, that is, was she the "substitute" he wanted to make up for his past grief?
"So, this is why you love me unconditionally? Because you had a miserable marriage? So, you cherish me especially?"
When Shao Yun heard Ying, he also felt that he was treating her as a substitute. He did not explain excitedly, but gently kissed Ying on the forehead.
Then, he slowly explained:
"I have never considered you a substitute. The person I love is the one and only you, our best Paimon, and our one and only daughter."
At this moment, a new question suddenly arose in Ying's mind.
She couldn't help but wonder, if one day, both she and her child died, what would Shao Yun do?
So, she mustered up her courage and asked softly, "Then, if our child and I died, would you, would you miss me?"
Shao Yun didn't answer directly, but said calmly: "If you and the child died, I would go crazy. So, don't ask me to answer this question."
After hearing Shao Yun's answer, Ying felt moved.
She nodded understandingly and said softly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that question."
"I'm sorry. I got angry when I heard you were married before but you didn't tell me. I'm sorry."
Shao Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and replied:
"That's nothing. As I said just now, that's all from my past life. My eyes aren't connected to the ocean, so how could I shed so many tears..."
At this moment, Alice, who had witnessed everything, widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
She pointed at Shao Yun and Ying and shouted angrily, "Why, why are you still in love with him after I said that?"
Ying looked at Alice with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Why don't I love my husband?"
She was puzzled by Alice's question.
Alice pointed at Shao Yun, her body trembling slightly with anger, and shouted almost roaring: "He lied to you!"
Ying still looked puzzled. She frowned and asked, "What did he lie to me about?"
She still didn't understand what Alice was talking about.
Alice was so angry that she shouted shockingly, "He, he... he's married. He's not worthy of you!"
Ying was stunned by Alice's old-fashioned explanation. "What's this for me?" she asked. "Is this still Teyvat?"
She looked at the somewhat exasperated Alice, sneered, and said, "You're crazy, Alice."
When Alice heard Ying say she was crazy, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she excitedly retorted: "I'm not crazy, you are crazy, Shao Yun is crazy too...ah!"
Her voice grew louder and louder, almost screaming.
Ying looked quietly at Alice, who was somewhat out of control, and her expression remained calm and composed.
"After I learned about my husband's previous marriage, I just felt sorry for him."
After listening to this, Alice asked in confusion: "Why, aren't you angry?"
When Alice asked her why she wasn't angry after learning about Shao Yun's previous marriage.
Ying sighed softly, then hugged Shao Yun's arm and gently told Alice:
"I'm a wife just like you. Isn't it natural for me to be faithful to my husband and family?"
Then, Ying continued, "Besides, my husband really respects me and loves me very much. Why should I be angry?"
Speaking of this, Ying raised her eyebrows and a proud smile appeared on her face.
Alice was choked by Ying's words and was speechless. She could only repeat the words weakly.
"Shao Yun, he is a lunatic!"
However, her words had lost their previous momentum and sounded more like a weak curse.
