Chapter 29: She Truly Hated Him!

What a good night’s dream.

The next morning, when Su Luyun woke up, as usual, half of her body was wrapped around Zhou Changdong.

As for the man’s normal morning reaction, she had already become accustomed to it.

Besides, didn’t she already arrange a kissing scene for him last night?

Based on her previous acting experience, it was now appropriate to do something more, especially since he clearly seemed to enjoy her teasing.

So…

This shameless little green tea slid her hand downward, moving it like a seasoned driver shifting gears in a manual car. Her tone was innocent and puzzled: “Why is it like this every day?”

Zhou Changdong, who had just arrived in the beginner’s village and was already facing a top-tier succubus, nearly went up in smoke: 【Wife~】 o(////▽////)q

Su Luyun laughed but felt satisfied after just one little tease.

After both of their physical issues were taken care of, Su Luyun took Yuanbao out first, letting it wander around to relieve itself.

She didn’t care whether it understood or not and said: “Now that you live in our house, you need to mind your hygiene, understand? You pee where I tell you to, and for poop, you have to wait for me to take you out. If you dare mess up the house, I’ll send you back. The food back home surely isn’t as good as here.”

The little one had only just arrived yesterday and was already eating meat—chicken soup with rice, even! It had buried its whole face into the bowl and wagged its little tail with glee.

Even though it was the 1980s, there were still plenty of people who couldn’t get enough to eat.

If people were like that, what more the dogs they raised?

Meat was extremely scarce.

It was obvious the Director Wang’s family didn’t usually have food like this.

That’s why she didn’t dare to let it eat too much all at once yesterday. Its digestive system needed time to adjust.

Yuanbao didn’t know if it understood or not, but it wagged its tail at its owner with great enthusiasm anyway.

Su Luyun smiled. Once it was done with its business, she took it home.

After washing up herself, she went in to help Zhou Changdong brush his teeth, wash his face, and shave.

After last night’s breakthrough, she kissed him very naturally today. She smacked a kiss on his handsome lips. “As expected of the man I chose—so handsome!”

Zhou Changdong said nothing, but the pink bubbles in his heart were obvious.

He couldn’t be blamed. Who could resist being fed a huge spoonful of sugar first thing in the morning by his own wife?

He was being fed sugar, but someone else was being fed poison!

Who? Of course—Sun Congxing.

That bastard had fed mosquitoes all night. Who knew what kind of mosquitoes those were—numerous and vicious! They were starving and always lying in wait for passersby, biting whenever they had the chance. But most people passed quickly and didn’t linger long.

Who would’ve thought—they struck gold!

What a fool!

Heaven’s blessing had given them a perfect birthday party!

By the time this bastard showed up in front of Su Luyun, she didn’t even recognize him for a moment!

His face was covered in bumps, one after another, and with all those scratch marks too. Su Luyun was startled, quickly covering her mouth and nose and backing away, afraid he might have some contagious disease!

“Yun Yun, it’s me, don’t you recognize me?” Sun Congxing’s tone was full of grievance, like a bitter wife.

This heartless woman—she really didn’t come out to check on him all night!

Actually, while he was waiting, he had thought more than once about giving up and going back.

But then he worried that all his waiting would be for nothing. What if just as he left, Su Luyun came out to see whether he had stayed or not? Then wouldn’t he suffer a huge loss?

It was exactly because of that thought that, even though he wanted to give up several times, he still gritted his teeth and stayed.

And the result? Obvious.

She never came out!

Su Luyun had slept incredibly well the night before. After taking her bath, she fell asleep in one go and didn’t wake until dawn. Naturally, she didn’t remember any of what happened during the night.

But now—she clearly recognized him.

She looked Sun Congxing up and down, and after a thorough inspection, she came to a single conclusion: her cousin really, truly hated her!

First, she was married off to Zhou Changdong, a flawless man, yet wasn’t allowed to touch him. They hadn’t even consummated the marriage before he was sent off on a mission.

Then, she was shoved into a situation with this man—whose looks, height, character—well, from the strands of his hair to the nails on his toes, there wasn’t a single place that could compare to Zhou Changdong.

She was expected to give up a big juicy watermelon like Zhou Changdong and settle for a tiny sesame seed like Sun Congxing.

And not just settle—but be trampled on by that sesame seed too!

How much must her cousin hate her to do something so vicious?

All because she refused to be morally blackmailed—was that really worth all this punishment?

“Yun Yun, I waited for you all night. Are you truly so cold and heartless that you didn’t even come out to look at me once?” Sun Congxing started playing the pitiful card, his eyes full of grievance as he tried to win sympathy.

If it were some handsome man doing this, it might still be somewhat tolerable. But with that bear-like face of his, he didn’t even come close to qualifying as good-looking.

And when he acted pitiful, it was eye-searing to the extreme.

What grave sin had she committed to deserve this torment so early in the morning?

Su Luyun was never someone who wronged herself. Without hesitation, she cut off this rotting romantic subplot arranged by the original storyline. Her warning was crisp and deadly:

“There’s nothing between you and me. Don’t try to make false connections. And let me warn you—if you dare to come harass me again and ruin my reputation, I’ll go straight to the Public Security Bureau and report you for harassment. Deputy Director Zhang over there—he’s my uncle. If you don’t want to lose your job, you better get lost now!”

Sun Congxing froze. He had, of course, seen Su Luyun’s sharp side before.

He’d first met her two months ago when she got into a dispute with a store clerk at the department store. Seeing she was pretty, he’d stepped in to help, and that’s how they got to know each other.

Over the past two months, their relationship had developed rapidly, and the side of Su Luyun he saw was always soft and shy.

Never had she spoken so coldly, so harshly.

He couldn’t deny it now—she must have found out about his situation in the countryside. Otherwise, there was no way her attitude would change this fast!

He quickly said: “Yun Yun, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I have no feelings for that woman in the countryside. The reason we had a child together was because I was tricked!”

As he spoke, he closely observed Su Luyun’s expression. When he saw that her face was filled with mockery and not even a flicker of outrage, he knew—this was the thing she had discovered!

But that was fine. He had already prepared a backup plan!

He launched into a story about how he was deceived by that family in the countryside—how, out of kindness, he had gone down to the river to save that suicidal woman, and she clung to him from then on.

He hadn’t wanted it, of course. But being on their turf, what could he do? He could only pinch his nose and accept it.

Yes, his body had been forced to give in—but his soul had always remained pure!

Finally, when the wave of sent-down youth returning to the city arrived, he found his chance. He fled, completely escaping the clutches of that evil family!

At the climax of his tale, he tilted his head up at a fifteen-degree angle to the west, gazing skyward as if silently swallowing the bitter pain of those years. A trace of moisture even shimmered in the corner of his eye.

“What are you doing?” Zhao Yuzhu, carrying a basket, walked over and saw his tragic, skyward-gazing pose.

Only then did Sun Congxing snap out of it and turn around—Su Luyun was already gone!

“Where’s Yun Yun?” he asked in a panic.

“Just saw her. Went to buy vegetables.” Zhao Yuzhu replied, clearly annoyed.

Sun Congxing: “…”

She just left? Didn’t she think his story was full of emotion? Wasn’t the male protagonist—him—deserving of deep sympathy?

Zhao Yuzhu couldn’t help muttering under her breath: “What’s wrong with you? You still haven’t managed to coax my cousin?”

After all, it was she who had told Sun Congxing to wait here this morning!
