Seeing his pitiful look, Su Wantang swallowed the words "Lu Huai'an, I have something to tell you" that were on the tip of her tongue.

She turned around, opened the drawer, took out a belt, and handed it to Lu Huai'an: "I picked this out, I don't know if you'll like it or not."

Lu Huai'an was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he excitedly hugged Su Wantang, rested his chin on her shoulder, tilted his head and nuzzled her, and said softly, "I like it very much."

"This is the best gift I've ever received!"

Su Wantang reached out and pushed Lu Huai'an's head away, saying in a serious tone, "I've received the gift. I have something to tell you."

Her serious tone made Lu Huai'an frown.

"What's wrong, Tangtang?"

"What happened?"

Su Wantang recounted the events of the day to Lu Huai'an.

Finally, she said, "Grandpa Chen gave me two choices: open a pharmaceutical factory, my dad return to Beijing, or you get a promotion. I chose the former."

Hearing this, Lu Huai'an breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, he was almost driven crazy by Su Wantang.

“I’m sorry that I’ve caused you to miss out on your promotion. It’s understandable that you’re angry. But if…” Su Wantang suppressed the pain in her heart, “you think I’m selfish and can’t get over this either, then let’s part ways amicably.”

"A clean break?" Lu Huai'an laughed angrily.

"Su Wantang!"

Do you know what it means when a woman gives a man a belt?

Su Wantang genuinely didn't know this.

She felt it was suitable that afternoon.

Adhering to her good habit of asking questions when she didn't understand, she frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Seeing that she really didn't understand and didn't mean it that way, Lu Huai'an felt a lump in his throat.

Little liar.

Just a day ago, she said she liked him!

Let's part ways amicably today!

A burning passion was suddenly thrown into an ice cellar, where the frost squeezed out every last bit of warmth.

With a bang, it exploded into a shower of blood-red flowers.

Even so.

Lu Huai'an couldn't bear to be harsh with Su Wantang either.

then.

In a moment of impulsiveness, he grabbed the belt in his hand and lashed it across Su Wantang's shapely buttocks.

Saying it was a whipping was just a way of scare people; they would wipe their clothes with a belt.

"A clean break? Su Wantang, say that again, and see what happens?"

Su Wantang was stunned.

He... slapped her?

Still, in that shameful position!

Although it doesn't hurt, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated!

"Lu Huai'an!" Su Wantang's eyes turned red with anger.

Seeing that Su Wantang's eyes were red, Lu Huai'an thought he had misjudged the force and really hurt her, and immediately panicked.

"Did it really hurt?"

He hurriedly picked up Su Wantang and sat her on the bed, quickly turning her over.

"Let me see, how badly is the injury?"

Su Wantang was caught off guard by Lu Huai'an's sudden move. She had just come to her senses when she heard his words.

"Lu Huai'an! If you dare pull down my pants, I'll divorce you! It's a must—"

The high-pitched "Li" sound, after going through many twists and turns, gradually decreased in decibels.

"Still want a divorce?" Lu Huai'an asked in a dangerous tone.

Su Wantang was embarrassed and annoyed: "Lu Huai'an! How could you spank me!"

Lu Huai'an picked up Su Wantang and sat her on his lap, staring intently at her: "If you dare to mention divorce again, I'll take off your pants and beat you!"

"You...you..." Su Wantang was furious with Lu Huai'an. After a long while, she managed to utter a single word, "Shameless!"

"If you're not shameless, you'll lose your wife."

"Special times call for special strategies."

Su Wantang was speechless.

"Su Wantang, in your eyes, am I just a bastard who only cares about his own future?"

Lu Huai'an gritted his teeth and uttered each word slowly and deliberately.

Stared at by his wounded eyes, Su Wantang felt inexplicably guilty, and her voice trailed off as she tried to explain.

"It's only natural to get angry."

"Divorce, too?"

"This isn't something I'm saying upfront."

Lu Huai'an was so angry he laughed.

The next second, he forcefully grabbed Su Wantang's neck and kissed her deeply.

Su Wantang initially struggled violently, mumbling, "Lu Huai'an... is... doing... something, don't... go crazy—"

Gradually, the resistance weakened.

After a while, the two separated.

"Are you still talking nonsense?"

"Where would I find it?" Su Wantang frowned.

She didn't understand.

Wasn't she having a normal, open and honest conversation with him?

Lu Huai'an didn't waste any more words with Su Wantang!

He still didn't believe he couldn't kiss that infuriating little mouth into submission!

"Mmm mmm mmm."

"Alright! That's enough! I'm not saying anything more!" Su Wantang spoke very quickly.

Without even looking in the mirror, she knew that her lips were probably swollen to the size of sausages.

Su Wantang relented, but she didn't expect Lu Huai'an to be so persistent.

"What's wrong with it?"

Su Wantang remained silent.

She felt that she had done nothing wrong.

Reading this meaning from Su Wantang's face, Lu Huai'an sighed softly.

"Tangtang".

"Husband and wife are one, and your parents are also my parents. There was no other way before, but if there were, I would definitely not hesitate to save them."

"If children abandon their parents who gave them life and raised them for the sake of their future, are they still human?"

"Also, Tangtang, I joined the army to serve my country and strive for promotion. Besides the inherent male admiration for strength, I also hope that my identity can protect my wife and family from slander."

As Lu Huai'an spoke, Su Wantang's erect hedgehog-like shell slowly retracted, revealing soft white flesh.
