Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 1817

Darryl sighed and looked at Chang Er. He could not smile or cry when he said, “Lady Chang Er, you misunderstood me. I will always keep my word. Before I left the royal city earlier, I bumped into Yang Jian. Yang Jian hated me to his bones, and he said he would kill me if he ever saw me again.”

For the next few minutes, Darryl shared what had happened earlier in detail to Chang Er.

After hearing Darryl's explanation, Chang Er’s body trembled. She was so surprised.

‘Yang Jian raped his own Senior Brother’s wife?’

Zhurong and Divine Farmer were also looking at each other, speechless.

Everyone respected Yang Jian as Grandmaster Erlang was a reputable person in the world. They never expected that he would be such a cruel person.

At that moment, Chang Er regained her thoughts and stared fiercely at Darryl as she scolded, “Darryl, don’t you try to fool me. Who is Yang Jian’s Senior Brother? I think you’re only afraid to die when you return to the palace with me, and so you made up a story to lie to me. Isn’t that right?”

‘Yang Jian has been a follower of Hou Yi for many years. How could I not know that he has a Senior Brother? Darryl must have made it up,’ she thought.

Darryl wanted to cry when he heard that. He felt frustrated as he said, “Lady Chang Er! What I said was true. Otherwise, how could I have escaped safely with my abilities when I met Yang Jian?”

Chang Er locked her brows tightly and started to think again.

‘What he said does make sense. Based on his ability, if he met Yang Jian, there was no way he could return safe and unharmed.’

Noticing Chang Er was doubting him, Darryl’s mind was turning as he tried to figure something out. He smiled and said, “Oh, Lady Chang Er. Yang Jian did ask me at that time to reveal your location. He said he admired you for a long time, but he was afraid of Hou Yi. Now that Hou Yi is dead, he doesn’t have anything to worry about and wants you to be his woman. He wants to take care of you for the rest of your life.”

Darryl was trying hard to hold back his laughter and intentionally came closer to Chang Er as he spoke. “Lady Chang Er, if you are willing, I will sacrifice my life to send you back to the palace. As I am directly related to Hou Yi’s death, I will die with no regrets as long as I can help you find a good husband.”

That was right. Darryl made it all up.

Chang Er was focused on proving her innocence and restoring her reputation. However, as Darryl had upset Yang Jian, going back with Chang Er would be a suicide mission.
