Su Ruobai patted her mother-in-law's shoulder, offering a perfunctory word of comfort.

"No matter what it is, I can't let my family be implicated!"

"Mom, I know you love me, but I really need to resolve this matter as soon as possible!"

Those people could arrive at any time.

She needs to act quickly.

"Solve what!?"

As the two were talking, Xiao Yichen patted his clothes and walked in.

He's been busy training these past few days, spending all his time in the old forest.

They were covered in dirt and ash.

Sometimes, they can even bring along some cute little things, like ticks or beggar-ticks.

Every time I come home, I stand at the door and give it a good beating.

I lost something.

Then she took a shower and changed her clothes before going back inside to hold the baby.

Aunt Xiao saw that her third son had returned.

The pillar of support has returned.

"Third brother, you're finally back! Our world was collapsing!"

Aunt Xiao put the child down and stumbled out the door.

Ignoring the dirt covering Xiao Yichen, she grabbed Xiao Yichen's arm and started crying.

The smile on Xiao Yichen's face vanished instantly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The tone was solemn!

His mother wasn't the type to cry over the smallest things.

That means something must have happened.

Su Ruobai sighed.

I had to explain it again.

"I just went to see my grandma and found that she and the others had been taken away, including my two older brothers whom I had only met once!"

"They even said it was my own father who reported them, so I guess I'm in trouble."

They might come to arrest me and my brother any minute now. I think we shouldn't drag our family down with us. It's better if we get a divorce and cut off all ties!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed with anger.

He took one step forward, then another.

His eyes were fixed on Su Ruobai.

Finally, he stood directly in front of Su Ruobai.

His eyes were fixed on her.

Su Ruobai was puzzled by the look she was getting.

If someone isn't willing to go through thick and thin together, then just get a divorce!

Why are you looking at yourself like that?

It's kind of scary.

It's as if she's found some random man outside.

Fortunately, I held on and didn't back down.

It's not like it's a disgrace to women.

"What, what are you doing?!"

Although she knew that, given the right conditions, she could definitely take down this man.

But I don't know why!

Just look at the oppressive aura this man is radiating right now.

I'm actually a little scared!

Aunt Xiao saw that Xiao Yichen wanted to bully Su Ruobai.

He pushed Xiao Yichen directly.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Go outside and show off your power!"

"Going home and showing off to your wife and kids? That's what scoundrels do—bullying their own kind!"

Su Ruobai looked at her mother-in-law with gratitude.

Oh my, my mother-in-law has always been so good to me!

Even though his own grandmother was arrested, she was still very good to him.

I can tell, she definitely likes me!

Xiao Yichen lowered his head.

He slapped his forehead hard with his hand.

He lost his composure!

They brought their military-style behavior home!

But his own wife actually wants a divorce.

Thinking of this, a storm gathered in Xiao Yichen's eyes again.

"You're seeing someone else?"

Xiao Yichen spoke in a very soft tone.

Yet it is also substantial!

It took Xiao Yichen a lot of effort to say those few words.

He couldn't imagine how he would face the possibility that his wife was having an affair.

But if his wife hadn't been seeing someone else, why would she have brought up divorce?

Su Ruobai's hair stood on end.

She spat at him in a very uncivilized way: "You're the one who's having an affair!"

Am I such an unreliable person?

"Then why get a divorce?!"

Since there's no one else around, what's the point of getting a divorce?

Xiao Yichen couldn't understand it.

Su Ruobai was so angry that she didn't want to talk to him.

But I still have to say.

This matter must be discussed.

Didn't you hear what I just said?

My grandma and the others were arrested. I saw it secretly. They said my brother Zhao Cheng and I were spies and that they wanted to arrest us.

Let's get a divorce first, and then talk about it after this storm has passed.

"Once everything's settled, we can remarry!"

I thought that Xiao Yichen had heard me clearly and would agree to the divorce, and would immediately submit the report.

Who would have thought that this person wouldn't take it seriously at all?

He left with the words, "Then there's no need for a divorce. Wait for me, I'll talk to you when I get back!"

He took off his coat, intending to take a shower.

I'm not scared at all!

Su Ruobai was furious.

"Are you out of your mind? We're in a real crisis, and instead of rushing to report to your boss, you want to take a shower first!"

This isn't a blind date, why are you so concerned about your appearance?

Xiao Yichen held the dirty coat in his hand, unsure whether to cry or laugh.

His wife is becoming more and more like a real person.

His temper is getting worse and worse.

How dare they insult themselves like that!

Thinking back, it seems like this has never happened before.

How fresh!

Su Ruobai looked at this person, who was being scolded but still smiling.

What's so funny?

"What are you laughing at!?"

It makes your teeth look whiter!

However, you have to admit, Xiao Yichen's two rows of white teeth are really quite white; if the sunlight were any brighter, they would almost reflect light.

Xiao Yichen didn't expect that his wife would retort to him just because he smiled.
