"It's New Year's Eve today. Why aren't you at home? What are you doing here?"

Wen Lijing turned to look at him, "I've come to wish you a Happy New Year and also to give the children New Year's gifts."

Qiao Wanwan almost rolled her eyes. "Mr. Zhan, Li Jing is a guest. Can you please stop giving him such a sour face?"

"Who exactly is your husband?" Zhan Jingting questioned.

Everyone: "......"

Qiao Wanwan stood up and said coldly, "Zhan Jingting, come with me."

The man turned and followed her upstairs.

Back in the master bedroom, Qiao Wanwan turned around and questioned, "Zhan Jingting, are you sick? Li Jing is a guest who came to pay New Year's respects. Even if you have a nameless anger, you shouldn't take it out on him, right?"

"Which eye of yours saw me throwing a tantrum for no reason?" the man retorted. "I'm just curious, today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunions, why is he so eager to see you? Isn't there another purpose behind it?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

What are you trying to say?

"What I want to say is that men understand men better. Just because you're not interested in him doesn't mean he's not interested in you."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"Are you crazy? What nonsense are you spouting?"

"He has his own career, and it's at its peak. Why would he give it up to help you when you need him? Haven't you thought about that?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

She was so angry she couldn't speak. "Li Jing and I are completely innocent, it's not as dirty as you think!"

"Did I say you weren't innocent?" Zhan Jingting said coldly. "I said, just because you don't have those thoughts doesn't mean others don't. From now on, you must keep your distance from him."

"You're sick!" Qiao Wanwan's face turned red with anger. "He helped me wholeheartedly as a friend, and I deliberately kept my distance from him? What were you thinking? You can't just kick someone when you've served their purpose!"

"Besides, I'm not stupid. I would notice if Li-jing did anything that went beyond friendship and I would keep my distance from him in time. But there really wasn't anything like that. We are just normal friends."

"So don't say things like that again. Also, guests are guests, so be polite to them. If he finds out that you're thinking this way about him, you won't even be able to be friends anymore."

The man chuckled softly, "You're quite the sophist."

"..." Qiao Wanwan was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode. "How did I argue? You're taking it out on me just because I'm not going to argue with you? If you're in a bad mood, deal with it yourself and don't take it out on others. It's Chinese New Year today, and I'm not going to bother arguing with you!"

Qiao Wanwan turned to leave, but the next second, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"What are you doing? You put... um..."

The words caught in her throat as the man kissed her lips!

Qiao Wanwan's eyes widened, and she tried to push him away, but her hands were quickly held firmly in his grasp!

Zhan Jingting was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how he had kissed her. The feeling was both familiar and strange, but he didn't want to stop!

Although he had no memory of this event, he quickly became immersed in it as if he had no prior knowledge of it!

Qiao Wanwan was going crazy because this man's kiss clearly carried a punitive connotation!

She tried to break free, but the difference in physical strength between men and women was too great, and she was unable to break free at all!

Qiao Wanwan had no choice but to give up and not waste any more energy.

Anyway, this is her own husband!

Zhan Jingting's strength slowed down, and gradually, he felt the girl's response, instantly becoming even gentler.

The two embraced tightly, their one-sided giving transforming into an inseparable kiss.

The temperature in the air climbed higher and higher, and the air was filled with a sensual atmosphere...

It's unclear how much time passed before the two finally separated.

Qiao Wanwan's face was already as red as a tomato, her eyes glazed over, tinged with a hint of anger, "Zhan Jingting. You..."

"I'm sorry," the man interrupted her, his voice low and hoarse. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have made you angry."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"Don't think that I'll forgive you just because you apologize."

"Then what will it take for you to forgive me, hmm?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

She could never resist his submissive demeanor, and her anger instantly dissipated by more than half.

Qiao Wanwan pouted and said, "I'm magnanimous, so I won't hold it against you! But you're not allowed to make wild guesses in the future! Li Jing and I are completely innocent, and he hasn't done anything inappropriate!"

"Okay, then you have to promise me you won't mention divorce again."

Qiao Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you send me divorce papers three times in a row before, determined to get a divorce? What, do you not want a divorce now?"

Zhan Jingting was a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, "You're asking a question you already know the answer to."

"Zhan Jingting, you're not the kind of person who changes your mind easily, unless..." Qiao Wanwan's eyes darted around, "...have you fallen in love with me?"

Zhan Jingting: "......!!!"

The man released her, turned and walked out, saying, "We've been up here too long, we should go check on the children."

"Don't run away! Explain yourself!" Qiao Wanwan chased after him with a smile. "Tell me, you've fallen in love with me, haven't you! Zhan Jingting, tell me..."

Despite Qiao Wanwan's persistent entreaties, Zhan Jingting resolutely refused to admit it, but Qiao Wanwan was already 100% certain in her heart.

So the reason this man was avoiding her before was because he had fallen in love with her!

He's just afraid to face his own heart!

After that night, the two became noticeably closer, and Zhan Jingting stopped avoiding her.
