After dinner, Zheng Tianming was summoned to the study, where they spent two and a half hours playing the good cop/bad cop role to the fullest.

They criticize from one side, and then they defend it from the other.

Ye Yuncheng is the one who plays the good cop, while Li Mirui is half-sided; she might curse once when she's angry, but mostly she's praising.

Xu Mengyu sat on the sofa with Xu Lu in her arms, watching TV.

"Mom, aren't you going to help Dad?" Xu Lu looked towards the study: "He's so pitiful..." If it were him, he would definitely cry.

“What’s so pitiful about him? If he had thought about his family, about you and me, he wouldn’t have acted so rashly and impulsively.” Xu Mengyu finally understood and saw through it all.

With a man like that, don't expect a peaceful life; you'll be lucky to even survive.

If she were eighteen this year, she might look at him with admiration and think he was incredibly handsome if he did something like that.

But now that she's a mother, she doesn't think he's handsome, but she doesn't think he's done anything wrong either; they're just not a good match.

Zheng Tianming came out of the study with his head down and saw Xu Mengyu changing channels with the remote control. He walked over to her.

"Dad, are you alright?" Xu Lu asked, noticing Zheng Tianming's red eyes, looking like he was about to cry.

Xu Mengyu gently patted Xu Lu: "Go back to your room and do your homework."

Xu Lu stood up; her father was doomed...

Zheng Tianming sat on the sofa, his arm draped over the back of the sofa behind Xu Mengyu: "I'll listen to you from now on, and I won't go anywhere."

"Do you think what you said still has any credibility?" Xu Mengyu turned to look at Zheng Tianming sitting next to her: "Who swore and guaranteed it back then, and what happened in the end?"

“I took on this case, so of course I have to see it through to the end. A person should see things through to the end, otherwise what kind of person do you love?” Zheng Tianming said, moving closer to Xu Mengyu. “Think about it carefully. Do you really love me just because I’m unreliable?”

Xu Mengyu frowned. They were talking perfectly fine at first, so why did it suddenly turn into him being out of tune?

"I love you because you're well-endowed and skilled in bed, not because you're unreliable. Are you satisfied now?" Xu Mengyu planned to follow Zheng Tianming's path and leave him with nowhere to go.

"I..."

Zheng Tianming had originally intended to persuade Xu Mengyu, but unexpectedly, she said, "No, if you chat like this, it won't be interesting."

How could someone be like her?

Xu Mengyu glared at Zheng Tianming: "That's the truth, take it or leave it."

"Then you should have kept me here even more. Putting everything else aside, you're just after those two ounces of meat. As long as there are no problems, isn't that all that matters?" Zheng Tianming said, pulling Xu Mengyu's hand and placing it on his lap.

Xu Mengyu withdrew her hand and stood up: "Anyway, this is the end of it. You do your thing, and I'll do mine."

Zheng Tianming also stood up: "Then we both have something to do. I'll take care of you from now on."

The plaster stuck to my skin with a "smack," and there was nothing I could do.

Xu Mengyu walked towards the bedroom. When other people break up, they either cry or apologize, but he's shameless.

It's all cotton wool.

Zheng Tianming followed her; she locked the door, and he unlocked it, as fast as he could.

Xu Mengyu hadn't even touched the bed yet when Zheng Tianming walked in. She was so angry that her chest heaved. How could there be such a shameless and scoundrel?

Zheng Tianming took off his t-shirt and then his sweatpants: "It's just a small matter, why are you threatening to break up with me?"

Xu Mengyu was about to go crazy. She was lustful, but not to this extent!

"Can't you at least put your clothes on?" Xu Mengyu turned her head away; she was now tempted to call the police...

Zheng Tianming walked over wearing black shorts, revealing a bit of his waist. To be honest, he wasn't fair-skinned to begin with.

There was nothing she could do; she didn't want to communicate properly and was determined to get rid of him.

Xu Mengyu reached out and pushed against Zheng Tianming: "If you keep doing this, I'll scream?"

Zheng Tianming grabbed Xu Mengyu's wrist: "You have a loud voice, so go ahead and shout. I'll say you forced me to do it."

"Okay, let's have a good talk." Xu Mengyu took a step back, otherwise he might do something even more shameless.

"You should have said that earlier." Zheng Tianming straightened his shorts and sat on the bed. "I'm serious. I'll stay by your side and the child's side from now on. I won't take any more risks."

"You said the same thing last time." Xu Mengyu sighed; she had actually believed it.

Zheng Tianming simply lay down on the bed: "Indeed, I broke my promise, it's my fault." No matter the reason, failing to keep a promise is wrong.

"Third time's the charm. Give me one more chance. If I still can't do it this time, I'll leave on my own." Zheng Tianming said, turning to the side and hugging Xu Mengyu's waist: "Please."

Xu Mengyu pried Zheng Tianming's hand away: "If you don't give it to me, I don't want you anymore."

"Miss, you hurt me." Zheng Tianming's voice weakened, sounding somewhat hurt.

Xu Mengyu glanced down at her newly done manicure: "..."

Zheng Tianming kissed Xu Mengyu on the side: "See, you still care about me. Give me a chance. You go ahead with your career, and I'll stay home and be your good wife. Xu Lu needs someone to take care of her, right? Someone has to cook for her and clean the house."

“The key is, you can use it if you want, I won’t resist…” Zheng Tianming finished speaking and rubbed Xu Mengyu’s waist: “Give me another chance.”

"Wait three minutes, let me organize my thoughts to curse you." Xu Mengyu felt that she was just too well-mannered; she could be sarcastic and sarcastic, but she couldn't even think of any swear words.

Zheng Tianming picked up Xu Mengyu and lay down on the bed: "No rush, let's think about it slowly."

"I want to strangle you," Xu Mengyu said seriously, her evil intentions already brewing!

She felt powerless. Not only were there so many elders around, but Wanwan's depression had flared up, and she couldn't make too much of a scene.

No matter what, Zheng Tianming was her most beloved younger brother.

Zheng Tianming curled his lips: "No way, does a scumbag like me deserve the young lady's personal attention?"

“...”

Xu Mengyu lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling light: "Can't you learn from Brother Pei, crying and kneeling like that..."

“He’s thin-skinned and well-mannered; if pushed too far, he’ll just kneel down. I’m different; I’m uneducated.” Zheng Tianming finished speaking and turned to the side: “Besides, didn’t I kneel down yesterday?”

Xu Mengyu closed her eyes; there was no solution to the problem of how far people had gone.

"I'm going to sleep, you can leave." Xu Mengyu wanted to calm down, but for some reason, she had been thinking things through, and his interruption made her forget everything.

Zheng Tianming pulled back the covers: "I was exhausted last night." Then he crawled inside: "Let me warm the bed for you."

He had no other choice.

Xu Mengyu: "..."
