In the third year of their marriage, Shen Shuangmiao discovers that Zhu Jin loves her sister-in-law.
While she waits alone at home, Zhu Jin is celebrating his sister-in-law's birthday.
Chapter 30 Bites
Shen Shuang was completely bewildered.
Zhou Wu and Fu Xuan were also stunned.
Of the four people, the one who was least likely to agree to be punished was Zhu Jin.
Seeing that Shen Shuangmiao didn't react, Zhu Jin frowned impatiently and walked over directly.
The air around him seemed to freeze the moment he bent over.
Shen Shuangmiao's mind went completely blank.
She could even see the cold, mocking glint in Zhu Jin's eyes.
She instinctively tried to turn her head away, but Zhu Jin held her waist tightly, leaving her nowhere to escape.
His lips, still damp with wine, pressed down, slightly cool.
Soon, Shen Shuangmiao felt a pain.
This wasn't a kiss at all.
To be precise, it wasn't the King of Spades' punishment, but rather the assistant's punishment and catharsis directed at her alone.
Shen Shuangmiao felt a sudden pain in her lower lip, and a subtle yet sharp taste of rust instantly spread between her lips and teeth.
The pain instantly brought her to her senses.
A profound sense of humiliation and bitterness welled up in Shen Shuangmiao's heart.
He hated her so much that he wanted to use this absurd game to humiliate her.
Was it to show Zhou Wu his loyalty, or was it purely for revenge?
She couldn't understand why she had to be treated this way.
Shen Shuangmiao was furious and used all her strength to push Zhu Jin away.
Zhu Jin was pushed back slightly, and a smear of bright red blood appeared on his lips.
He looked at her, his eyes unfathomable, churning with complex and unpredictable emotions, a mixture of pleasure and pain.
In the end, it all turned into a silent, cold silence.
Shen Shuangmiao's fingers trembled as she touched her lower lip, her fingertips immediately turning red.
Her eyes welled up with tears.
"Zhu Jin! Are you even human?!"
Fu Xuan suddenly stood up, the chair scraping against the ground with a screeching sound.
He saw the obvious wound on Shen Shuangmiao's lips and the glaring blood, and his pent-up anger exploded instantly.
Fu Xuan lunged forward and grabbed Zhu Jin's collar hard: "Is this how you treat Miaomiao?! If you don't like her anymore, just let go! Is it fun to torment her like this?! If you can't have her, you have to destroy her, right?!"
Zhu Jin let him pull her, a mocking smile even curving his lips, but his gaze was as cold as ice.
He glanced at Shen Shuangmiao, his tone both dismissive and cruel.
"It's just a game, can't you afford to play?"
"Damn it!" Fu Xuan was so angry that he raised his fist to punch him.
"Fu Xuan! No!"
Shen Shuangmiao quickly stopped her, her voice trembling slightly.
She couldn't let them fight.
They couldn't afford to offend Zhu Jin.
Shen Shuangmiao stepped forward and forcefully grabbed Fu Xuan's raised arm.
"Don't do anything, let's go, let's go now!"
She didn't even dare to look at Zhu Jin, nor did she dare to see what Zhou Wu's expression was at that moment.
Shen Shuangmiao forcefully pulled the still furious Fu Xuan away from the suffocating bar.
She never turned her head back.
As soon as I stepped out of the bar, a cool breeze hit my head.
Shen Shuangmiao instantly regained consciousness.
The happier I was when I was drinking with Fu Xuan, the more frustrated I am now.
Fu Xuan looked at her bleeding lips, feeling both heartache and anger.
He frantically searched for tissues.
"Miaomiao, are you alright? He's a complete madman!"
Shen Shuangmiao shook her head, took the paper, and gently pressed the tissue onto the wound.
"It's okay, I'm fine. Just don't be so impulsive because of me. I want to avoid any conflicts with him before we get our marriage certificate. Also, he is the client investor of our studio."
At this moment, she had to desperately try to remain rational.
Impulsive actions are temporary, but the impact on the studio lasts a lifetime.
She cannot act without considering the consequences.
Otherwise, the studio's employees will all be implicated.
Fu Xuan clenched his fists tightly, still angry: "But I can't understand it. Even if he doesn't care about you, doesn't he care about Zhou Wu? Zhou Wu was watching from the side, and he still had physical contact with you."
Shen Shuang was speechless.
To be honest, she couldn't figure out what Zhu Jin was doing either.
She had only caught a glimpse of Zhou Wu's expression and reaction, and he clearly hadn't expected Zhu Jin to punish him in this way.
Shen Shuangmiao's mind was in turmoil.
Every time she thought Zhu Jin was with Zhou Wu and would no longer hate her or target her, Zhu Jin would do something she couldn't understand.
It's like Zhu Jin's hatred for her outweighs his affection for Zhou Wu.
It has reached a point where it is beyond repair.
Shen Shuangmiao felt somewhat weary.
She also had a feeling that even if she returned from her business trip, Zhu Jin would not actually cooperate and get their marriage certificate immediately.
Shen Shuangmiao lowered her eyes and suddenly felt the intoxication rising again.
She slowly exhaled and looked up at Fu Xuan: "Tell me, how exactly should I get rid of him?"
Fu Xuan keenly sensed that something was wrong with her emotions.
He said without hesitation, "You don't need to do anything, just wait to get the marriage certificate with him. If he's unwilling, then file for divorce. I believe that no matter what Zhu Jin wants, he will eventually give Zhou Wu a proper status."
Shen Shuangmiao nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, you're right. In short, even if he doesn't get a divorce, he can still go to court. I believe Zhu Jin wouldn't do something so shameful."
Everyone is saying that it was because she relentlessly pursued Zhu Jin for two years that Zhu Jin finally got over his suffering and was able to get rid of her.
If the matter goes to court, it will not only prove that Zhu Jin is the one who is truly clinging to the marriage and refusing to divorce, but Zhou Wu will also be questioned as to whether she is a third party who interfered in someone else's marriage.
She believed that no matter how much Zhu Jin wanted to get revenge on her, he would never allow Zhou Wu to fall into such a predicament, absolutely not.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuangmiao gradually calmed down under Fu Xuan's comfort and stopped thinking about it.
She got into the car, and for some reason, she started to lose her senses again.
As soon as the car's heater started blowing, Shen Shuangmiao began to feel slightly tipsy, unable to keep her eyes open and yawning constantly.
Seeing this, Fu Xuan even spoke softly when asking the driver to stop the car.
He leaned closer and carefully unbuckled Shen Shuangmiao's seatbelt, his eyes filled with tender love.
"Miaomiao, wake up, we've arrived at the hotel."
Shen Shuangmiao opened her eyes in a daze, no longer knowing where she was.
She rubbed her eyes, looked around, and let out a tired and uncomfortable sigh.
"Have we arrived? Let's get off the bus then."
As she spoke, she pushed open the car door, and her whole body began to sway.
Seeing this, Fu Xuan quickly got out of the car and helped her walk into the hotel.
The two were standing close together, looking like a couple who had just returned from a trip together.
Not far away, someone was quietly watching them.
Zhu Jin stood across the street, coldly watching them go inside.
Zhou Wu, who was standing to the side, kept looking at his face and said softly, "Ah Jin, they seem to have a really good relationship. Maybe you should give them their freedom."
Upon hearing this, a sharp, cold glint flashed in Zhu Jin's eyes.
He turned around, stared intently at Zhou Wu, and asked, "Why? Why should the person who betrayed me first be happy?"
Zhou Wu hesitated, then frowned slightly: "But you're both getting a divorce, what can you do now?"
