chapter 4

Chen Nian sat on the sofa, his face bruised and swollen.

The house had already been tidied up.

But this time, he clearly hadn’t sprayed gardenia fragrance; the smell in the air was so foul it made one want to vomit.

This time there was no acting; it was all genuine emotion.

“Chen Nian, let’s get a divorce!”

He jerked his head up, his eyes full of vulnerability, guilt, and pleading.

Chen Nian had good looks; back in college, he was both a top student and the campus heartthrob.

People always said he was the best-looking programmer, and the best programmer among good-looking men.

They said I was attracted by his looks.

Well~ isn’t that true?

But now, I really can’t muster even a ripple of feeling for the pig-headed man in front of me.

He dropped to his knees with a thud before me.

“Honey, I was wrong. I lost my mind. Please give me another chance. Let’s not get divorced, okay?”

What the hell!

“Chen Nian, I’ve worked so hard outside just to support this family and give you a better life. Do you think you’ve treated me right?”

“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have done this. I swear, there won’t be a next time. Honey, just give me one more chance.”

“How long have you been together?”

“Just this once, really, only this once. She came to the house to borrow soy sauce. I was an idiot, I couldn’t resist her seduction!”

Ha, if I hadn’t installed surveillance cameras at home, I might have believed him.

Borrow soy sauce?

He really came up with that.

“Chen Nian, you’ve hurt me too much. I want a divorce!”

“Honey, honey, I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance, just this once.”

He crawled forward on his knees and hugged my legs.

Disgusted, I kicked him away and rushed into the second bedroom, slamming and locking the door behind me.

Chen Nian was still begging.

I shouted, “Shut up! I don’t want to hear you talk. Let me calm down.”

“Okay, okay, I won’t say anything. As long as we don’t get divorced, you can do whatever you want!”

I stopped crying, curled my lip, and messaged Ling Yuan: [How’s it going on your side?]

[He refuses to divorce. How about you?]

[Same!]

But this was all within my expectations.

If they agreed so easily, it’d be too boring.

What’s the next step?

When heaven is about to place a great responsibility on someone, it must first distress their mind and spirit.

So, let’s start with a round of the silent treatment.
