Chapter 130
Namgung Mu Baek closed his eyes. They wouldn’t open. No, unable to open them was the right word. Kneeling before him, begging for forgiveness.
“Go.”
He was a reluctant man himself. Whenever he looked at An Bai and Tang Miyan in front of him, his left cheek throbbed repeatedly.
Ignoring it, Nan Gongmu Bai calmly asked.
“What’s wrong?”
He opened his mouth to avoid her gaze. It had been a long time since they had looked in and out, and now it was uncomfortable to look at.
“I’m sure you don’t want to see my face.”
“You shouldn’t have come so soon. The séance is not over yet.”
“……I wanted to be loved.”
Nangong Mubai’s eyebrows twitched at that.
“I was desperate to be loved. The whole world knows that ours was a arranged marriage, but I thought it would be different.”
These are the first words Tang Miyan speaks, and Namgung Mu Baek is hearing them for the first time in the thirty years he’s been with her.
“I was so confident, and I tried so hard to make you my man. I went to Anhui, I tried to become the woman you wanted me to be, and I tried everything I could to act like it, but it didn’t work. Your eyes were elsewhere.”
It was jealousy, it was envy, it was struggle, and it was misdirected.
“Why did you not look at me, why not me…… why did you look at someone other than me?”
Namgung Mu Bai looked at Tang Miyan, who was sobbing on the floor.
“…….”
“If it wasn’t for that bitch……! If it wasn’t for that bitch, I thought you would come back to me, I knew it.”
