Chapter 122 Male Supporting Character's Girlfriend - Argument

Meng Tingze watched his wife's departing figure helplessly, a sense of frustration welling up inside him. He had painstakingly cooked a large bowl of wontons, only to have it all wasted.

He's very angry right now, and he doesn't feel hungry at all.

He cooked a lot of wontons, which Meng Tingze planned to eat with his wife. He imagined the two of them chatting while eating, but all his plans were shattered.

Meng Tingze sat in his chair, his lips pressed tightly together, his brows furrowed, and his eyes bloodshot.

With his eyes lowered, he opened his phone, tapped on WeChat, and saw that his wife had updated her Moments.

Meng Tingze frowned and clicked on it, and what came into view was Le Mingru's WeChat Moments post, which was obviously showing off.

In the past, Meng Tingze would have felt proud to see this, even proud to be a devoted husband.

But today was different. Meng Tingze felt a sense of disgust. When he saw the photo of himself that had been taken without his knowledge, he felt that he was just a tool, a tool to show off his love.

Who is she showing off to?

Meng Tingze unconsciously had this thought, and once it came to him, he couldn't help but think about it more deeply, and all sorts of ideas popped up, causing his mind to explode.

I sat alone in the living room for more than half an hour, and not a single wonton was missing, though they had completely cooled down.

Meng Tingze glanced at his watch; it was already quite late. He then slowly got up and walked towards the master bedroom.

The bedroom light was still on. Le Mingru had finished washing up and was lying on the big bed playing on her phone.

Seeing Meng Tingze come in, Le Mingru took a moment to ask, "Have you finished your wontons?"

Meng Tingze shook his head: "I didn't eat."

"Oh," Le Mingru replied perfunctorily, not having heard a word Meng Tingze said at all.

Her eyes were fixed on her phone screen, completely unaware of Meng Tingze's increasingly grim expression.

Meng Tingze silently walked to the wardrobe, took out his pajamas, and headed towards the bathroom.

The air pressure around him was extremely low, almost freezing.

The washing up took a while, and by the time Meng Tingze came out, Le Mingru was just about to go to sleep.

"Aze, why did you take so long to shower? Go to sleep now, you have to go to the company tomorrow."

Le Mingru yawned and said to Meng Tingze.

Meng Tingze felt increasingly frustrated. As expected, she called him "Aze" again, as if she would only call him "husband" when she begged him.

In her heart, did she truly regard Meng Tingze as her husband?

Suppressing his anger, Meng Tingze simply hummed in agreement, telling everyone not to say anything more.

Le Mingru had already turned over and lay down, but she still didn't notice Meng Tingze's ugly expression.

Meng Tingze lifted his blanket and lay down inside.

"Xiaodu, turn off the lights."

After realizing that Meng Tingze was already in bed, Le Mingru spoke into Xiaodu's voice assistant, and then the bedroom light was turned off.

Meng Tingze stared up at the dark ceiling, his mind blank, then turned to look at his wife, who was alone under a quilt, his eyes filled with determination.

Meng Tingze slowly turned around, leaned against Le Mingru's back, and tentatively placed his large hand on her waist.

As expected, his large hand was grasped by those small hands, preventing him from moving forward.

"Aze, not today, I'm so sleepy," Le Mingru said sleepily.

Meng Tingze did not remove his large hand. They had been married for over a month, and the only time they had been intimate was on their wedding day.

He had considered it before, but each time she made an excuse to refuse. Meng Tingze understood her and didn't pressure her, but today, he didn't want to give up so easily.

"Xiaoru, just this once, okay? I'll do the work, you can just keep lying down."

Meng Tingze lowered his head, put his lips to her ear, and pleaded.

Le Mingru opened her sleepy eyes, which were unusually clear. She did not soften her heart because of the man's pleading words.

Le Mingru's tone was somewhat harsh. She suppressed her anger and said, "Aze, I'm really tired. Can you please respect me?"

Upon hearing the word "respect," Meng Tingze laughed in exasperation.

"Respect? Xiaoru, if I didn't respect you, we wouldn't have been married for so long, and we only did it on our wedding day! I pretended to be stupid and believed all your excuses before, but were they all true? Xiaoru, ask yourself honestly, were they?"

"You say you're tired, but you don't have to go to work now. A housekeeper cleans the house, and you can order takeout during the day. You stay at home all day, how can you be tired?"

"I know you don't like me. Since you chose to marry me, I thought you wanted to try to accept me, but now it seems you never intended to settle down and live a good life with me!"

"It's the same today. You said you were hungry and wanted to eat wontons, and I took it seriously. And then what? I was just a tool for you to take pictures. You took the pictures and left. Who were you trying to show them to on WeChat Moments?"

"Do you still want to show it to Lu Yu? Are you still entangled with Lu Yu? Do you want Lu Yu to regret it and come looking for you again?"

"Xiaoru, I will never divorce you! Don't even think about getting rid of me to go find Luyu, don't even think about it! I will not let you two be together!"

Meng Tingze spoke angrily, finally finding an outlet for the words that had been bottled up inside him, and he spoke without any restraint.

Le Mingru was furious. She shook off Meng Tingze's hand and sat up in bed.

"Meng Tingze, what do you mean? Is this how you see me?"

"If I didn't want a peaceful life, would I gamble with my marriage? How could you think so badly of me! I really misjudged you!"

"Since you're so eager to do it, why don't you just find a prostitute? You can work as long as you want without having to put up with any mistreatment!"

After saying that, Meng Tingze didn't say anything more, while Le Mingru burst into tears.

She kept wiping away her tears and muttering to herself.

“I’ve already broken up with Lu Yu. How could I possibly have anything to do with him after how he treated the Le family!”

"I thought you understood me, but I never expected you to think of me like this."

"Don't worry, I won't let you cook anymore. I'd rather starve than ask you for help again!"

"Won't I get tired if I don't go to work? I also need to draw, I have hobbies too! I can't just lie in bed all day doing nothing!"

...

By the end, Le Mingru was sobbing uncontrollably.

Meng Tingze remained silent, unmoved as he watched her cry so bitterly.

"Xiaoru, let's all have some peace and quiet." After saying this, Meng Tingze got up and left the bedroom.

"Meng Tingze, where are you going?" Le Mingru shouted.

Meng Tingze did not turn around. He calmly said, "Go lie on your side."

After saying that, Meng Tingze left without waiting for her to speak.
