Zheng Nana's gaze stiffly shifted downwards, landing on the neatly tended vegetable garden in the corner of the yard.

The lush green vegetables and tomatoes glistening with dewdrops are full of life.

That's the warmth and life of a "home".

A home she had always dreamed of, but which was easily taken over by another woman.

On what grounds?

Why should a capitalist's descendant be allowed to live such a simple and warm life with him?

Washing clothes, cooking, growing vegetables...

These should have belonged to her!

Zheng Nana clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh. A sharp, stinging pain came from her palms, but it was nothing compared to the feeling of her heart being gripped so tightly.

A bitter feeling, mixed with resentment and unwillingness, rushed from the bottom of my heart to my throat.

"I heard you're the daughter of a capitalist. It's quite surprising that someone of your status would marry Lin Chuan." After entering the house, Zheng Nana casually placed the bag of fruit aside, getting straight to the point with an unfriendly look in her eyes.

Su Wantang naturally detected the hostility in the woman's voice. "Is that so?"

These two bland words felt like a punch landing on cotton, leaving Zheng Nana with a lump in her throat.

Undeterred, she continued, "Lin Chuan has a cold personality. Back in the army, countless female comrades liked him, but he never even glanced at them. We all thought he would never care about any woman in his life."

"He has worked outstandingly and diligently for so many years, and should have had a bright future," Zheng Nana said, her voice cold and indifferent, her eyes icy. "But he married you. Do you know that your family background will make all his efforts over the years go to waste?"

"Your status as a capitalist's daughter will bring his career to a standstill!"

Her words carried a slightly stern tone.

"My wife will not have any impact on my career."

Before Su Wantang could retort, Lu Linchuan's low, cold voice came from not far away.

Just then, the door opened.

Lu Linchuan's tall figure appeared at the doorway, his military uniform accentuating his broad shoulders and long legs, exuding an imposing aura. When he saw Zheng Nana inside, his already expressionless face instantly darkened, and the atmosphere around him seemed to drop several degrees.

As soon as Zheng Nana saw him, she stood up immediately, her face beaming with a smile. "You're back. Was training tough? You must be exhausted!"

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Linchuan had already walked past her and went straight to Su Wantang's side.

The aloofness he exuded, keeping people at arm's length, vanished the moment he approached Su Wantang.

He reached out and gently tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, his movements incredibly tender, and his voice lowered several decibels: "Are you alright?"

Su Wantang shook her head.

This intimate scene was like a red-hot needle, piercing Zheng Nana's eyes.

She stared intently at Lu Linchuan's hand, the man she could never even hope to touch, who was now treating another woman with a tenderness she had never seen before.

Why should I?!

Why should this capitalist's daughter get everything from him?

Anger and jealousy consumed all her reason.

Zheng Nana's voice sharpened, "Why did you marry her? A capitalist's daughter, with such a complicated background, is she good enough for you? She'll only drag you down!"

The air froze instantly.

Lu Linchuan slowly turned around, his gaze towards Zheng Nana so cold it could pierce ice.

“Zheng Nana,” he said, his voice laced with warning, “I don’t need to explain to anyone who I marry. Su Wantang is my wife, the woman I’ve chosen.”
