Xu Manzhi did not move.
She pondered Zhou Xiangqun's motives.
This man has been castrated; could his brain be damaged too?
“I know you don’t believe me, but ever since I was harmed by Jiang Pengyue, I’ve realized that you are my true love. As long as you are willing to accept it, I can accept any price.” Zhou Xiangqun said.
He was deluded by his dream, his brain was eaten by dogs. He suffered all kinds of hardships in Haicheng, experiencing the coldness and warmth of human relationships. He also saw Jiang Pengyue's ugly face. After being crushed in the mud, he was comforted by his elder brother and suddenly realized that the reason he was so determined to make the marriage happen even though he knew that Jiang's family had lied to him was because of his deepest love.
When he first met Xu Manzhi, he used all sorts of ostensible reasons and excuses to deceive himself.
Yes.
When he gets ruthless, he even deceives himself.
Compared to trash like Jiang Pengyue, Xu Manzhi is pretty, energetic, and has a more flamboyant and domineering personality, yet she has hinted several times that the Jiang family is a scam...
She didn't mind Yan Lin's ugliness and treated him with all her heart.
Knowing that her husband was in danger, she braved the lockdown alone to stay with him through thick and thin.
It's all his fault for being blind before and not realizing how good she was.
Xu Manzhi frowned.
She didn't have the energy to argue with him, but she didn't want him to cling to her like a mad dog, so she half-jokingly said, "Zhou Xiangqun, you're a married man, and I have a husband too. As a person, you should have some self-respect. If you want me to abandon my husband, you should at least have something that he can do better than me."
Zhou Xiangqun was excited.
He took two steps forward, his eyes shining, reached out and touched his hair, and whispered, "I'm better looking than Yan Lin, I'm handsome."
Isn't that enough?
He won by virtue of his looks alone.
*Sigh*
Xu Manzhi couldn't help but let out a mocking smile.
She managed to stay calm and avoid giving Zhou Xiangqun a major setback.
"How about this, wait another half month, and you can see if my man is uglier than you," Xu Manzhi said with a smile.
"..." Zhou Xiangqun.
His heart instantly leaped into action.
What did Xu Manzhi mean by that?
She was implying that she would give him a satisfactory answer in another two weeks and that she would divorce Yan Lin...
That's the correct meaning, isn't it?
Zhou Xiangqun clapped his hands repeatedly, excitedly saying, "Great, great! In another two weeks it will be Secretary Ling's birthday, and many people will be going to celebrate with him... I'll be waiting for you..."
After saying that, he slammed the gold bracelet down on the stone table, turned around, and ran away.
He wanted to announce this good news to the world.
Even though Xu Manzhi had a precondition, so what?
Yan Lin is still just as ugly.
Xu Manzhi must be worried about being labeled as someone who starts a relationship and then abandons it, which is why she needs some time.
Yes, that's it.
Thinking of this, he immediately went to find Secretary Ling.
Secretary Ling slammed his hand on the table and said unhappily, "Zhou Xiangqun, do you know what you're saying? What do you mean Xu Manzhi would agree to you? You're crazy."
Just then, a group of sons of powerful and wealthy families walked in through the door.
Zhou Xiangqun was too excited and agitated to notice anything amiss, and continued to shout, "It's true! Xu Manzhi said that in another half month, if Yan Lin is uglier than me, she will be with me—"
*Smack*
Secretary Ling threw the water glass down hard.
The porcelain cup shattered into pieces, interrupting his next words.
"Alright, alright, get out. I don't want to hear your nonsense. If you keep going crazy like this, I'll call your father and have him take you back." - Secretary Ling.
fed up.
The Zhou family dumped a mess on him and even secretly called to give him instructions.
Every time he looked at Zhou Xiangqun, it was like looking at a madman...
Although Secretary Ling tried to stop him from speaking recklessly, those words still got out.
So when Yan Lin got off work, he rushed back to the courtyard and carefully checked it. He found nothing unusual, and only then did he return to his room with some doubt.
Cough cough.
The sound of his wife coughing came from inside the house.
He was very nervous and hurried into the bedroom. Before him was his wife, still bent over her desk writing notes. Her back was slender, and when she coughed, her shoulders trembled as if her bones were about to pierce her skin.
A subtle, persistent pain filled my heart.
He slowly stepped forward, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Zhizhi, stop busy and take a break. I wasn't home, did someone bother you?"
Xu Manzhi turned around, her gaze gentle, and smiled softly.
She said softly, "It's just that someone's lost their mind and delivered a gold bracelet to my door. You can return it to him when you have time; I find it a bit dirty..."
She used to love money more than anything.
She seized every opportunity to exchange for supplies.
But ever since she married Yan Lin and lived with him, she has developed a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.
Dirty men's stuff is dirty too.
Even money.
She doesn't want it anymore.
Yan Lin's eyes blazed with fury as he roared, "Is he sick in the head? I'm going to find him and warn him not to come near you, lest he spew nonsense."
Xu Manzhi wasn't angry.
She smiled gently, reached out and stroked Yan Lin's face, and said softly, "What's there to be afraid of? In just half a month, I will personally teach him what shame is."
The dark spots on Yan Lin's cheeks.
So dark, so dark.
She was actually a little anxious.
But that's okay, we'll take it one step at a time.
She's almost completely removed his scars.
“Okay, I asked the organization for half a month's leave today, and it's been approved. I'll stay by your side every step of the way and I absolutely won't let that bastard do anything reckless,” Yan Lin said.
"That would be perfect."
He stayed indoors for half a month.
There is nothing more gratifying than this.
