Being able to turn the tide during a crisis and ultimately achieve victory is a key difference between successful people and ordinary ones.

Bai Tao didn’t have the superpower to go back in time a few minutes, but she had other tricks up her sleeve—

“Yes! I want a divorce! I can’t live like this anymore!” Instead of backing down, Bai Tao raised her voice even higher and shouted at Pei Shi, “Husband, you’re so unwell, your face looks terrible, it seems like you’re unhappy to see me, and yet you don’t reach out to me. You don’t even ask me to take care of you when you’re sick! I know you love me and don’t want me to worry, but a couple should support each other. By hiding your illness from me, it makes me feel like I’m not doing my part, and I feel so guilty that I just want to divorce you! And now you have the nerve to ask why I want a divorce? Don’t you already know?!”

Pei Shi was completely stunned.

After scolding him first, Bai Tao seized the opportunity to soften her tone, adopting a sweet and vulnerable demeanor: “It must be my fault, making you feel like I can’t even share the burden when you’re unwell! Husband, it’s all my fault! If our marriage continues like this, what’s the point?” As she spoke, Bai Tao showed a sorrowful and melancholic expression, her acting was superb, even her eyes reddened, and her voice trembled, filled with sincerity and pain, “What use is a wife like me? We might as well divorce, so you can be free!”

Pei Shi seemed completely taken aback by Bai Tao’s words. After all, he had probably never encountered such a sudden U-turn in a conversation.

After a moment, the man seemed to regain his composure. He frowned at Bai Tao and said, “You want a divorce just for this? But why do I feel like…”

“What you think doesn’t matter, what matters is what I feel!” Bai Tao interrupted, “Husband! You didn’t let me know when you were sick, it broke my heart!” Bai Tao cried, “Don’t think there’s nothing wrong between us! I think our marriage is on the rocks!”

It’s always effective to accuse someone first when they haven’t sorted out their thoughts, confusing them in the process! And the first step in disrupting someone’s thinking is to constantly interrupt their logical statements and analysis.

Unfortunately, Pei Shi wasn’t so easy to deal with. He didn’t get sidetracked by Bai Tao, just frowned and continued, “Didn’t you say you weren’t coming hiking? Why are you here all of a sudden? And didn’t you say you took photos? You said you took evidence of my crimes?” Pei Shi pursed his lips, “So, what exactly did you take pictures of?”

This…

How could Bai Tao be stumped by this?

She calmly and confidently explained, “Maybe it’s because of our deep connection as husband and wife! I was at home, dozing off, but suddenly I dreamt that your stomach was upset, that kind of churning feeling, it felt so real even after I woke up. So I thought, you must have appeared in my dream! I was worried something might have happened to you, so I drove over right away!”

“As for what I took pictures of? Look, I captured all your handsome moments while hiking.” After all, she had indeed been taking pictures of Pei Shi. Bai Tao immediately pulled out her camera to prove her point, and then righteously declared, “Husband, you might not know this, but in today’s society, being so handsome is practically a crime. I’ve already taken all the ‘evidence’ of your ‘crime’ that needed to be captured!”

“…”

“Alright, don’t think too much about it, husband, we’ll talk about the divorce later when we get home! We’ll settle accounts when we’re home! Seeing your stomach ache makes me feel terrible, let me take you to the hospital first! Starting tomorrow, you don’t need to go out and socialize, just stay home and take care of your stomach. I’ll cook for you every day!”

As a successful manga artist, Bai Tao had once summarized an experience: no matter how sweet the interactions between the male and female leads are throughout a chapter, as long as you add drama at the end of the chapter, the readers will feel that the whole chapter was angst-ridden—Yes, the last impression the readers are left with is always the final plot twist, and this applies to real life as well. As long as you throw a bunch of problems at someone, most people will only focus on the last one.

Sure enough, after Bai Tao’s barrage of words, Pei Shi was distracted and seemed to focus only on her last sentence.

The man frowned tightly, “Cooking every day is too tiring for you, there’s no need… I…” He had just started to say something when his stomach probably started to bother him again, and his expression changed slightly.

“Don’t say anymore, let’s go! Husband, I’ll take you to the doctor first! In the future, this mustn’t happen again. If you get sick, you must tell me right away. If you keep this up, then we should just get a divorce!”

Pei Shi’s stomach was indeed giving him trouble, so he couldn’t think about anything else and just went along with Bai Tao. Bai Tao was acting strangely today, but Pei Shi didn’t have time to dwell on it, he was more concerned about how to naturally and gently dissuade Bai Tao from deciding to cook for him herself.

After all, eating Bai Tao’s cooking for a few days had him worried he wouldn’t live to see the next month’s sun.

Perhaps it was the sincerity or maybe just positive thinking at work, but under the fear of Bai Tao’s cooking, Pei Shi quickly ordered some stomach medicine through a delivery service, and after taking it, his stomach recovered surprisingly well in the face of Bai Tao’s questionable cooking skills.

Since he was no longer in pain, there was no need to leave the event early with Bai Tao. Pei Shi glanced at his watch and concisely stated his position: “In a little while, today’s event will be about finished. How about you wait in the car for another half hour?”

Bai Tao, having made a blunder, saw that Pei Shi wasn’t pursuing the issue further, so she wisely decided to let it go. She nodded obediently and considerately, then gave Pei Shi a loving look and reminded him, “Then hurry up, husband, I’ll be waiting for you.” She blinked at Pei Shi, adopted a reluctant demeanor, and shook his hand.
