Chapter 1: She is a Cannon Fodder

“Comrade, your family is here to pick you up.”

“He said he was your husband, and he was an officer. He was really good-looking, but he was cold and a little scary.”

“But your husband is an officer, why didn’t you come out here without a letter of introduction and proof of identity?”

Song Shengsheng curled up in the corner, pitifully, covered in cold sweat.  She listened in a daze to what the female police officer said in her ear.  Her mind raced back to the nightmare she had last night.

In the dream, she seemed to be under a spell, doing all sorts of terrible things. She abandoned her husband and children, framing her because her husband, an officer, had a questionable background. 

After the attempt failed, she eloped with her neighbor, a childhood sweetheart, a gigolo.

Song Shengsheng’s husband, Fu Cheng, was an officer, with good treatment and a respectable job. He was sent here from the capital.  It was rumored that his father and brother were both high-ranking officials in the capital, with very strong backgrounds. 

The man was well educated, tall, and good-looking.  He had so many girls wanting to marry him, he couldn’t even count them all.

If Song Shengsheng hadn’t clung to him, even trying to ruin both of their reputations, she might not have been able to marry him.  But after marriage, she felt that Fu Cheng treated her coldly and began to think about having an affair. 

Moreover, Fu Cheng was very fierce in bed, which always made her unbearable.  With her cousin’s instigation, she felt more and more that this man had no future and was not a caring husband, so she did everything she could to force him to divorce her.

Of course, her final outcome in the dream was not good.  It seemed that her ending was that she couldn’t stand her second husband and committed suicide. 

Her cousin, who was sensible, obedient, well-behaved and kind, later married her ex-husband, Fu Cheng, who had already risen through the ranks and become a big boss in the capital. 

She and Fu Cheng’s son, because no one disciplined him, became an arrogant and domineering second-generation rich kid, doing all kinds of evil things like her.  When talking about him, one would also mention her as a mother.  It is said that like mother, like son.

Later, influenced by his stepmother, he gradually turned from the wrong path to the right path and became a famous scientific research leader in the country.  The son changed his words and started calling his cousin “Mom”. 

He completely forgot about his biological mother.

Song Shengsheng was almost angry to death when she saw this ending in her dream.  She was woken up by anger this morning.

After waking up, Song Shengsheng was horrified to find that this broken dream seemed to be real.  Because she ran to the provincial capital without telling Fu Cheng the day before yesterday. 

Her former neighbor, childhood sweetheart, was studying at a university in the provincial capital, and she actually thought about eloping with him and living in the prosperous south.

As a result, she had just met the person and had just been settled down by her childhood sweetheart when she was temporarily detained by the police because she had no identification.  She was forced to curl up in a narrow corner and barely got some sleep last night.  No matter how she slept, it was uncomfortable, and all her bones ached.

The female police officer looked to be in her thirties and was an experienced person.  Compared to the male police officer who arrested her yesterday, she was not as aggressive:

“There is no overnight hatred between husband and wife.”

“He came to you in such a hurry, he must have you in his heart.”

As she spoke, she looked at the woman on the bed.  For so many years, she had never seen a woman more beautiful than the girl in front of her, anywhere in the area. 

A few strands of hair, wet with sweat, fell on her temples.  Her eyes were black, her skin was soft and white.  She was very beautiful, delicate, and charming.

Song Shengsheng didn’t have time to speak.  The door was opened from the outside with a bang.

Song Shengsheng looked in the direction of the voice.  The man was wearing a white shirt, his muscles were full and well-defined, his posture was tall and straight, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright, his expression was stern, and he looked like an unapproachable man.

Fu Cheng looked at the woman in the corner.  Her facial features were as radiant as spring water, and her skin was white and rosy and as delicate as a baby’s.  A light white skirt showed off her slim waist. 

Although she was thin, she had meat where it should be.  Her dress was a little messy, and the man slowly frowned.

Song Shengsheng met Fu Cheng’s gaze.  They hadn’t seen each other for several months, and when they suddenly met, she was a little afraid of him.  She subconsciously shrank back and unconsciously clenched her slender, soft white fingers.  And she felt guilty.

Her attempt to elope had failed, and her husband had to come to the police station to rescue her.

“Yesterday you couldn’t produce a letter of introduction or prove your identity, and you told my colleagues that your husband had died and you were alone, and we all believed you.”

She then advised: “Isn’t your husband doing well? Don’t be angry with your husband. Even if you are angry, don’t talk nonsense or run around. Your family will worry too much!”

After saying this, she handed the beautiful lesbian over to the angry comrade beside him.

Song Shengsheng looked at Fu Cheng and felt that he seemed to be holding back a lot of anger, with a bit of hostility in his cold brows. 

The man was tall and had a strong and robust body developed through his service in the army.  He usually held a high position and had an imposing aura.  He stared at her with sharp eyes: “Song Shengsheng.”

Song Shengsheng felt a little scared when she heard his cold tone.  Although she had been married to him for several years, she didn’t know him at all. 

She felt that Fu Cheng didn’t like her at all, and probably didn’t think much of her, thinking she was stupid and spoiled.  Moreover, Song Shengsheng was not well educated and had nothing in common with him. 

She heard that his childhood sweethearts in the capital were all top students who were admitted to universities.  She only studied in the first year of high school and then stopped going to school. 

Later she married Fu Cheng.

Song Shengsheng was afraid of him for other reasons.  Every time he came home, he was like a wild beast that had never eaten meat, and he would bite her whenever he caught her.

Song Shengsheng was actually a somewhat spoiled person, and was well-known for being lazy even in the village. 

When she was a child, her parents didn’t love her and always allowed her younger brothers and sisters to bully her.  This gave her a somewhat crooked personality.  When she grew up, she developed a lot of bad habits. 

She was afraid of pain and fatigue.  She couldn’t bear hardship.

Fu Cheng met her timid eyes and sneered.  Now she knows she’s afraid.  But he didn’t see her getting scared when she abandoned her husband and children and wanted to run away with another man.

Fu Cheng’s eyes were sharp and his tone was cold: “Why don’t you run away? Otherwise I can find you again.”

“You are really capable. You even went to jail when you were away from home.”

“Also, if you want to divorce me, you have to go through the formalities.”

“If I don’t agree, you can’t leave.”

What Song Shengsheng hated most was his cold look.  He looked fierce and impatient.  Unlike Shen Zhishu, who was gentle and considerate, and didn’t dislike her.

Song Shengsheng didn’t want to go back with Fu Cheng, but she was a little scared when she thought about the nightmare she had last night.  She doesn’t want to become the cannon fodder female supporting role or vicious ex-wife mentioned in her dreams!  In the end, his second marriage failed and he committed suicide.  Let her cousin who was trying to sow discord take advantage of her for nothing!

Before Song Shengsheng dared to say a word, he grabbed her wrist and lifted her up from the corner.  The man helped her adjust the hem of her skirt with an expressionless face, and weighed the weight in his arms. 

She had only been out for two or three days, but Fu Cheng felt that she was lighter than the last time he held her.  She was so delicate and delicate. 

It would be strange if she could live a good life if she ran away with someone else.

Fu Cheng got angry when he saw that she didn’t say anything.  He suppressed his cold anger, spoke stiffly, and said in a cold manner: “Song Shengsheng, don’t forget that you are still my wife.

If you want to go with someone else, you have to wait until we get divorced.

I won’t stop you then.”
