With Zhou Ling knocking on the doors repeatedly, she checked all the others except for two that seemed to be unoccupied.
Zhou Ling concluded that none of the homeowners who opened their doors were the ones she was looking for.
Because the other party is either an old man, an old woman, or a family.
Just as Zhou Ling was planning to come back next time and focus on the two households that hadn't opened their doors, she suddenly smelled a perfume scent and heard footsteps.
She was all too familiar with that perfume scent; Zhao Kun wore men's cologne every day.
Could it be?
Zhou Ling suddenly realized that this person might be Zhao Kun. She immediately stopped going downstairs and listened quietly to the footsteps.
A moment later, she heard footsteps stop downstairs.
Zhou Ling immediately looked down and saw the person who opened the door.
Zhou Ling's pupils narrowed. She hadn't expected that her curiosity and desire to verify something would lead to her discovering something.
What is Zhao Kun doing here? And judging from his demeanor, this isn't his first time here.
Old Mrs. Zhao doesn't live here, yet Zhao Kun can easily open the door. Could it be...?
Zhou Ling thought of a possibility,
Zhao Kun betrayed her, keeping a lover behind her back. It should be noted that Zhao Kun is not without a dark past. When she married Zhao Kun, the lover even came to the wedding, causing her great embarrassment.
"Brother Kun, you clearly promised me that you would always be good to me, why did you betray me?"
"So that's why you often come home late, or even not at all, you come here."
Zhou Ling's eyes instantly reddened. She recalled Zhao Kun's repeated instances of not returning home at night, and felt both wronged and angry.
What she found most unbearable was that it seemed Old Mrs. Zhao also knew about this.
The whole family was deceiving her and keeping her in the dark.
"No, that can't be it. I'm overthinking it. Brother Kun might just be here to see a friend."
"Or, he might be here to discuss business."
"Brother Kun said he was looking for people to do business with."
Zhou Ling suddenly shook her head repeatedly, denying her own speculation and finding a reason that she could accept to comfort herself.
But such a flimsy excuse is ultimately just burying one's head in the sand.
Deep down, Zhou Ling still felt that Zhao Kun had betrayed her.
The truth will be revealed once she knocks on the door.
However,
Zhou Ling found herself lacking courage because if she opened the door and saw Zhao Kun with another woman, she would no longer be able to convince herself.
But Zhou Ling was unwilling to give up without investigating the truth. She didn't want to pretend to be confused. She had given up everything to be with Zhao Kun and didn't want others to laugh at her, especially Zhou Chen.
With a heavy heart, Zhou Ling walked down the steps, past Zhao Kun, into the house, but after a short while, she stopped again.
The reason is that Zhou Ling ultimately couldn't convince herself to continue in this muddled state.
She returned to that door.
She raised her hand, intending to strike, but stopped a centimeter away. A full minute passed before Zhou Ling took a deep breath and finally struck.
thump thump thump...
In order to avoid being discovered by Zhao Kun through the peephole, Zhou Ling did not stand at the door, but stood to the side.
thump thump thump...
After a few seconds, the iron gate opened.
When Zhou Ling saw that it was a woman wearing a mask and with long hair, her mind went blank, her face changed drastically, and she guessed that it was true, Zhao Kun really had found another woman behind her back.
How could he do this!
A surge of anger welled up inside Zhou Ling. Taking advantage of the other person's momentary daze, she lunged forward, ripped off the mask from their face, and then slammed her head forward, knocking the person back into the room. At the same time, she slammed the door shut to prevent the other person from escaping.
"Zhao Kun, come out here!"
Zhou Ling's furious roar echoed in the room. She was extremely angry and her eyes searched for Zhao Kun's figure in the room.
“…Xiao…Ling…”
Just then, a voice appeared, startling Zhou Ling, because she heard Zhao Kun's voice, which seemed to come from that woman's mouth.
When she looked over, puzzled,
Zhou Ling was stunned.
This...this woman is actually her little Kun?
What exactly happened?
Why does Zhao Kun dress like a woman?
"Xiaoling, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Kun's brain also went blank, and he subconsciously asked the question.
"Brother Kun, you...you didn't hide from me and get together with another vixen?"
The fox spirit she had imagined had turned out to be Zhao Kun, leaving Zhou Ling momentarily stunned.
By this time, Zhao Kun had calmed down from his panic. Although he didn't know how Zhou Ling knew he was here, that didn't matter. The key was that his secret might have been exposed, since he was dressed as a woman.
How to explain it is the most important thing he needs to solve right now.
"Honey, did you think I was seeing other women behind your back? You've misunderstood me. I swear to God, if I liked another woman, may I, Zhao Kun, be run over by a car the moment I step outside. I actually wanted to surprise you, so I bought you a dress. I didn't know if you liked it, so I tried it on to see how it looked. I never expected..."
Zhao Kun had a sudden inspiration and came up with a lame excuse.
"You bought this for me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling's face suddenly changed from anger to joy. So that's how it is. She had indeed misunderstood Zhao Kun. The fact that Zhao Kun dared to make such a solemn oath meant that he was not lying to her.
"I bought this for you, honey. Wait for me to take it off so you can try it on."
Seeing that Zhou Ling was so easily convinced, Zhao Kun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went back to his room, took off his skirt, and changed back into men's clothing.
Zhou Ling really liked the dress Zhao Kun bought her, but it was a bit too big.
"Brother Kun, I like anything you buy. You don't need to try it on yourself."
Zhou Ling was so devoted to Zhao Kun, even dressing up as a woman herself to please him, which touched me deeply.
How many men could do that?
Zhou Ling felt a deep sense of guilt, feeling sorry for Zhao Kun and thinking of him as a bad man.
"Brother Kun, I'm sorry, I thought you..."
"I don't blame you. It's my fault. I should have given it to you directly instead of trying it on secretly first."
"By the way, Brother Kun, what's the story with this house?"
"Ah... it's like this, my parents think the rent for the house they live in is too expensive, so they want to move to a smaller one to save us some money. I liked this place, and I was going to tell you, but I was busy and forgot."
Upon hearing this explanation, Zhou Ling's doubts were instantly dispelled. Thinking back to the day she saw Old Mrs. Zhao, she recounted how she had seen Old Mrs. Zhao come here.
"Honey, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Zhao Kun broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that his mother had been seen by Zhou Ling, who mistakenly thought she was there to see other old men. Fortunately, the excuse he had just come up with was very appropriate, otherwise, he would have been exposed.
"Brother Kun, I misunderstood you too. We're even now."
Zhou Ling was unaware of Zhao Kun's true thoughts; at that moment, she only felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.
