All the things in the apartment were bought by the original owner, so when Zhuang Li left, he had nothing with him.
As he gripped the door handle, he turned around and looked at He Ming, who was leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed, his face full of suppressed anger and pain.
The dim light shining down could no longer make this home feel warm.
Zhuang Li suddenly turned on his toes, quickly came to He Ming, and hugged him tightly.
He Ming immediately opened his eyes and reached out to push.
Zhuang Li had already pressed his lips against He Ming's. The warm and soft touch, as well as the palpitation when the tip of his tongue slid between his teeth, made He Ming freeze.
This was their first kiss after being married for more than half a year.
Even at the moment of separation, this kiss still brought He Ming an unprecedented shock. There was no disgust, no hatred, and no resistance. He immediately indulged in it. His eyes, still filled with anger, unconsciously closed, concentrating on feeling the tenderness of this kiss.
Zhuang Youli kissed He Ming from shallow to deep, changing the angle, very devoted, very gentle, and very pious.
The cold air around him was actually warmed by his kiss.
Jin Erxian went into the kitchen to make coffee, but he had no idea that in the blink of an eye, the two divorced people would kiss each other, and kiss so passionately. Should he admire Zhuang Li's skills? He really has a trick up his sleeve to seduce men!
Jin Erxian frowned in disgust and then knocked on the glass door of the kitchen.
Zhuang Li finally ended the farewell kiss and whispered carefully into the dazed He Ming's ear, "Believe me, I haven't betrayed you. What you see with your eyes may not always be true."
The company's losses have already occurred. It's too late to say anything now. He Ming's eyes turned cold again as he gradually emerged from his trance.
Zhuang Li kissed his cheek full of resistance and whispered, "Husband, I love you." After that, she strode towards the entrance and left without looking back.
He Ming's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at Zhuang Li's back in disbelief and shock. He didn't care about Zhuang Li's "I love you" because he had said the same three words to Xiao Yiheng countless times.
However, when Zhuang Li connected "I love you" and "husband", He Ming's heart trembled uncontrollably. Because he clearly felt that this "I love you" belonged only to He Ming, and He Ming belonged only to Zhuang Li.
The two of them are husband and wife and are closely connected.
Even though the company's secrets were betrayed, and even though he had personally seen the text messages that Zhuang Li sent to Xiao Yiheng, He Ming sadly discovered that he would still be upset because of Zhuang Li's look, a kiss, or a lie.
He thought he didn't love Zhuang Li, and also thought that the decision to divorce would not have any impact on him.
But he was wrong. Seeing Zhuang Li's back as he left, he felt a pang of heartache. He couldn't look directly at the door that Zhuang Li had closed. He could only cover his face, lower his head, and roar in anger and powerlessness.
Why do you say you love me? Why do you betray me?
Jin Erxian looked at this trapped man, feeling a faint sense of unease. He felt that Shao Hui's judgment was wrong. He felt that He Ming was in love with Zhuang Li. Could their subsequent plans still proceed smoothly?
---
Zhuang Li walked a long way before he got a taxi. When he got home, it was already midnight. There was no light in the house and everyone seemed to be asleep.
But Zhuang Li knew Shao Hui was awake, and she would be listening intently to her brother's sobbing. She was waiting to reap the fruits of her labor.
Of course Zhuang Li would not let her have her wish.
Shao Yan's health was getting worse, and it was freezing cold, so Zhuang Li couldn't let her get up in the middle of the night to worry about her son. So he simply washed his face and quietly returned to his room.
He turned on the desk lamp and took a photo of himself wrapped in a quilt in the dim light. He sent it to He Ming with the caption: [I'm home, good night.]
He Ming, who had already gotten over his negative emotions, was holding an online conference with the company's senior executives. Jin Erxian sat beside him and quickly recorded the important content.
The phone on the table vibrated, and a text message appeared on the lit screen.
Jin Erxian glanced at it, his lips curled in disdain. He assumed He Ming wouldn't even read the message, let alone respond. If it were him being cuckolded, and losing over a billion for nothing, he'd want to kill Zhuang Li.
He Ming also caught a glimpse of the text message. As expected, he didn't pick up the phone to take a closer look.
But after a few minutes, his mind began to wander. A senior executive asked him a question, and he listened to it three times before finally answering it. His chaotic thoughts finally made him compromise. He wiped his face and said tiredly, "Let's take a five-minute break. I'm going to get some water."
The senior executives fully understood He Ming’s poor condition.
He had been on a business trip to various European countries last month and was already exhausted. Now he had rushed back without even getting any sleep. Even the strongest man could not stand this kind of torture.
He Ming left the camera's range before picking up his phone and quickly flipping through the text messages sent by Director Zhuang.
He returned home safely and tucked himself into a warm bed. His face looked peaceful, which was good.
He Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then a helpless expression appeared on his face. Why, at this point, could Zhuang Li still nonchalantly tell him he was safe? Just how shameless was this liar?
However, what is even more sad is that He Ming actually feels relieved because Zhuang Li is safe.
He held the phone tightly, unable to recover from the state of division for a long time.
Jin Erxian sat on the sofa pretending to sort through documents, but secretly observed He Ming's every move out of the corner of his eye. This man was hopeless. Even at this moment, he could not help but care about Zhuang Li.

Shao Hui waited with her ear pressed against the door for over an hour, but nothing happened. Zhuang Li didn't cry or make a fuss, and he didn't even call Xiao Yiheng to ask for his promise. He actually fell asleep quietly, as if nothing had happened!
Shao Hui waited until her whole body was frozen before she went to bed in anger. When she woke up the next day, she caught a cold.
She came out of the room coughing.
Shao Yan in the kitchen scolded, "Why did you catch a cold for no reason? Did you kick off the quilt again when you were sleeping last night? Take some Zhongganling quickly and you will get better soon!" She ran out of the kitchen and searched the whole house for the medicine box.
Shao Hui thought that drinking some spiritual spring water would cure her, and she didn't care about taking medicine at all. When she saw the medicine bottle handed to her by her mother, she slammed it away with a look of impatience on her face.
The medicine bottle fell to the ground and rolled to Zhuang Li's feet.
Shao Yan was originally showing an angry expression, but when he saw his son suddenly appear at home, he subconsciously put on a smile.
Shao Hui noticed her ever-changing expressions, which further confirmed her accusation of favoring boys over girls.
"Xiao Li, when did you come back?" Shao Yan ran into the kitchen and said happily, "Mom made some dumplings for you. Pork and cabbage filling or leeks and eggs?"
"I came back last night and saw that you were all asleep, so I didn't wake you up. I want both kinds of dumplings." Zhuang Li leaned against the kitchen door.
Shao Hui stared at his slender back and asked maliciously, "Brother, why are you back? Didn't your brother-in-law just return home last night? Why don't you accompany your brother-in-law?"
Shao Yan was most worried about his son's marriage. When he heard this, his expression immediately changed. He said worriedly, "Yes, Xiaoli, He Ming just returned home. You're not at home with him. Why did you come back?"
Zhuang Li shook his head and was about to speak when Shao Hui said quickly, "Brother, did you have a fight?"
She was going to force Zhuang Li to reveal the divorce today. She wanted to see the mother and son crying in each other's arms. He Ming didn't want Zhuang Li anymore, and there was no news of Xiao Yiheng. Now, let's see what Zhuang Li will do!
Zhuang Li walked into the kitchen, took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, put it in the kettle to heat it up, and said nonchalantly, "We didn't quarrel, we got divorced."
Shao Hui, who had finally waited for this moment, did not feel happy, simply because Zhuang Li's attitude was too indifferent, as if divorce was just a bug bite to him, which did not hurt at all.
Shao Yan raised her voice and asked in surprise, "You and He Ming are divorced? Why?"
Zhuang Li fished out the milk bottle with a spatula and said calmly, "No reason, it's just a temporary divorce. We'll get remarried in the future."
Shao Yan's face was full of disbelief.
Shao Hui almost laughed out loud, but she gritted her teeth and held it back.
Remarry? Zhuang Li was really dreaming! He also realized that he had been blocked by Xiao Yiheng, right? So He Ming became his lifeline again? Unfortunately, He Ming had already been heartbroken by him, and this time, there was no turning back no matter what.
Thinking of this, Shao Hui asked aggressively: "Brother, did you do something to offend your brother-in-law? Otherwise, why would your brother-in-law suddenly divorce you in the middle of the night?"
She turned on the TV, tuned to the entertainment channel, and waited excitedly.
Last night, she sent a few paparazzi to follow Zhuang Li and captured him wandering the streets in a state of disgrace after leaving He Ming's house. After the paparazzi posted the video online, she hired several marketing accounts to pin the lawsuit between He Ming's company and Xiao Yiheng's company on Zhuang Li.
So the media quickly dug up the old news that Zhuang Li was abandoned by Xiao Yiheng at the wedding and married He Ming on the same day, and spread it widely.
The media also asserted that Zhuang Li and Xiao Yiheng must have lingering feelings for each other, and that he had been kicked out in the middle of the night because he had cheated on He Ming. Given He Ming's temper, Zhuang Li would definitely not gain anything and was doomed to be kicked out of the house.
After fermenting overnight, the Internet was flooded with insults against Zhuang Li.
He Ming helped Zhuang Li at the critical moment, but Zhuang Li bit He Ming back. This kind of person is so scary!
At this moment, the TV was broadcasting entertainment news. The host sorted out the relationship between He Ming, Xiao Yiheng, and Zhuang Li, then asked in a suspenseful tone: "Could Zhuang Li have left home in the middle of the night because his extramarital affair was exposed? Do he and Xiao Yiheng still have feelings for each other? Is He Ming's company suing Xiao Yiheng's company also closely related to Zhuang Li? Is this story a modern version of the farmer and the snake?"
When Shao Yan heard this, he immediately rushed out of the kitchen.
The host whetted the audience's appetite before continuing, "Our reporters have already interviewed Mr. Xiao Yiheng and Mr. He Ming. Let's hear what the parties involved have to say."
Shao Hui gripped the remote control tightly and became excited.
Shao Yan's hand holding the spatula began to tremble slightly. She looked at her son and said sternly, "If you do anything to let He Ming down, I will definitely beat you today!"
7480 silently waved his little fists, shouting in his heart: Fight, fight! I'm waiting to see!
