Chapter 32

In Lin Shiyin’s room.

On a large table, stacks of photos were spread out, each pile documenting different moments…

The people in the photos were always Qi Shu and Tang Xin.

The locations? Almost exclusively hotels.

“…Aze, I just don’t want you to be kept in the dark by that horrible woman. She’s been involved with Qi Shu for so long! Every time they take a break, overnight or whatever, they’re always staying in the same hotel room together. Just like this one… it’s from a while back. It was only a midday break, and those two still had to mess around…” Lin Shiyin pointed to one of the photos from some time ago, her face brimming with fury.

Yet, the husband in question, Yue Yuze, remained calm and indifferent.

“Are you done talking?”

“Huh?” Lin Shiyin froze.

At that moment, Yue Yuze stepped forward and began gathering up all the photos. “If you’re finished, I’ll take these with me.”

And with that, he did. After walking a few steps away, he turned around, his tone slow but chilling as he addressed the utterly shocked Lin Shiyin. “This is the last time. If you dare to have someone follow and photograph my wife again, I hope you’re ready to bear the consequences.”

Lin Shiyin: “…”

Are you a demon?!

Your wife cheated on you with her agent, and yet you’re still protecting her like this?

Why?!

What on earth is so great about Tang Xin?!

Outside the door, Tang Xin had just pressed the doorbell when it opened.

“Mr. Yue…”

Yue Yuze: “…” He raised an eyebrow slightly.

Tang Xin blinked her bright almond-shaped eyes, unsure of what to say. After a moment’s thought, she quickly handed him something. “This is for you!”

Yue Yuze lowered his gaze, curious about the item. As soon as he saw it, his handsome face darkened. “You…” He knew it! In a rare “shared room” scenario, this woman just couldn’t miss the chance to tempt him…

“It’s for you and Miss Lin. I had someone fetch it for me; it wasn’t cheap. Use it wisely.” Tang Xin grinned mischievously as she shoved a box of condoms into his hands and waved goodbye with a carefree flair.

The man stood frozen in place, finally snapping out of it with a menacing look.

Tang! Xin!

This woman clearly needed to be taught a lesson!

Yue Yuze felt that, sooner or later, this foolish woman was going to drive him mad.

Too angry to return to their room, Yue Yuze went to find Shen Yanzhi instead.

However, when Shen Yanzhi learned about the situation, he couldn’t stop laughing.

“Hahaha… so adorable, way too adorable…”

“Shut up!” Yue Yuze’s face was stormy, and his liver felt like it was about to explode from rage!

Burning with anger and frustration, Yue Yuze decided he didn’t want to see Tang Xin for the time being. Otherwise… he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t strangle the little troublemaker!

Thus, until the following morning when they disembarked from the yacht, Yue Yuze didn’t say a word and left first. Shen Yanzhi and Tang Xin, on the other hand, left together.

Yue Yuze thought to himself that this incident wasn’t a big deal. After all, he was used to being angered by this little troublemaker, and his tolerance seemed to have grown significantly over time.

However, that evening, as soon as he returned home, he saw Tang Xin waiting in the living room like a cat guarding a tree.

When she saw him, her eyes lit up, and she bounded toward him like a puppy spotting a bone. “Mr. Yue, you’re finally back! I’ve been waiting for you!”

“Let go!” He glanced at her hands clinging to his arm.

Surprisingly…

She let go!

Yue Yuze’s face darkened further… Was she actually this obedient now?!

“Mr. Yue, how about this… let’s meet in the study at 9 p.m. tonight? Uh, I mean… I don’t have any ulterior motives. I’m not interested in you… No, I mean I wouldn’t dare covet your body… No, that’s not it either. Anyway, I have something serious to discuss with you…”

“Fine.” Yue Yuze casually tossed out the word and headed upstairs.

Tang Xin: “…” The boss agreed so quickly. Could he have already guessed what I want to talk about?

–

At 9 p.m., both arrived punctually. Yue Yuze sat on the sofa, gesturing for Tang Xin to sit across from him. “Go ahead. What do you want to talk about?”

Tang Xin pulled out the agreement they’d signed when they got married.

“Mr. Yue, according to this, there are only seven or eight days left until our divorce. Shouldn’t we sign the divorce agreement now?”

Yue Yuze visibly froze, his gaze locked on her. “You’re saying… divorce?”

Tang Xin nodded. “Yes, we agreed a year ago that we’d divorce when the time was up. You must’ve forgotten, being such an important and busy person…”

Yue Yuze’s lips curved into a cold smile. “Oh, really? But as far as I remember, Tang Xin, you’ve never seemed particularly eager to divorce me.”

“That’s not true! I do! I’ve been wanting to divorce you for a long time…”

Wait, why did his expression suddenly turn so dark? Why is he looking at me like that? You… you’re not planning to eat me, are you?!

Tang Xin suddenly found herself at a loss for words. She couldn’t quite pinpoint what she was feeling either. Instinctively, she swallowed hard and said, “About the contract… it’s supposed to follow the rules of the agreement, not depend on whether either of us wants it or not, hehe…”

She forced out an awkward laugh.

But Yue Yuze, with a face clouded in darkness, stared at her for a long while. His voice, cold and frosty, came out low and heavy. “Because of Qi Shu?”

“Hmm… huh?” Tang Xin didn’t understand.

“You want to divorce me because of Qi Shu?” Yue Yuze’s cold gaze pierced her.

“No… no.” What does this have to do with Qi Shu??

“Not because of him?” Yue Yuze sneered. “Tang Xin, do you really think I don’t know what you’ve done?”

Tang Xin: “…”

“…” What did I do?

Out of everything I’ve done… which one are you referring to?

Suddenly, Yue Yuze stood up, walked over to the desk, opened a drawer, and pulled out a stack of photos. He threw them directly into Tang Xin’s lap. “See for yourself!”

Tang Xin looked down at the photos.

Oh, they were pictures of her and Qi Shu entering a hotel together.

The timestamps were clear.

The two of them entering the same room… and only leaving hours later, sometimes the next day.

Nearly every “hotel stay” over the past year had been captured.

“This…” I was broke. I was poor. We were just trying to save money, so one of us slept on the bed, and the other on the sofa… If I told you that, would you believe me?

Honestly… if I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t believe it either.

Just like how I don’t believe Yue Yuze spent the entire night away from our room with the box of condoms I gave him, staying in Lin Shiyin’s room… and only slept on the sofa while Lin Shiyin took the bed.

We’re all adults here.

Who would believe that a man and a woman can spend the night in the same room and have nothing happen?

“What do you have to say for yourself?” Yue Yuze narrowed his eyes at her.

In truth… he was waiting for her to deny it.

As long as she gave a reasonable explanation, he was willing to believe her.

“I… I want to say… I really did have a fling with Qi Shu a long time ago…”

Yue Yuze: “…”

“…So, let’s get divorced, okay?” She looked at him, her bright eyes filled with hope and anticipation.

Yue Yuze clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the strange and nearly overwhelming emotions surging within him.

He curled his lips into a smile, a beautiful one, but the coldness in his eyes spread like frost. “You really want a divorce?”

“Mm-hmm…” Tang Xin nodded eagerly, her excitement obvious.

Yue Yuze: “Keep dreaming!”

Tang Xin: “…”

…Huh??
