Chen Fenglie finally looked at his ex-wife. They had been married for seven years, and she had always stood by his side. He never expected that she would turn against him after the divorce.
"What did I do? I just admired Zhou Yancheng's abilities and asked his superiors to give him more opportunities. Who knew he'd be so unlucky—"
"Smack!"
Before the mockery in Chen Fenglie's eyes had faded, Jiang Tian slapped him hard across the face.
At that moment, his shock surpassed all other emotions.
Even Zhou Yancheng's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Chen Fenglie, you're getting more and more of a coward as you get older."
Jiang Tian's comment made Chen Fenglie's face turn ashen.
He stared at Jiang Tian: "Do you know what you're saying?"
"Weren't you betrayed before? Did you forget when you were ruined and even lost your house? You said that once you were successful, you would never make things difficult for people who had suffered the same fate as you, but now..." Jiang Tian looked at him coldly, "aren't you just as wicked?"
Chen Fenglie's face was gloomy. The past was something he was ashamed to talk about, but Jiang Tian's words made him furious.
He sneered, "What do you know?"
Jiang Tian said calmly, "If you want to stand up for Jiang Qing, then come at me. If I find out you've been causing trouble for him again... I know more about your past than anyone else does, even if I don't say it. At worst, we'll fight to the death."
"For him, you're willing to fight me to the death, Jiang Tian, you're really something!"
If Chen Fenglie initially only wanted to teach Jiang Tian and Zhou Yancheng a lesson, he was now burning with rage.
“He’s my husband, what are you?” Jiang Tian retorted.
Chen Fenglie didn't speak; he stared at Jiang Tian for a long time.
This woman followed him for seven years without complaint, and when he said he wanted a divorce, she obediently agreed.
She clearly loves him to the point of obsession, yet now she's verbally abusing him for the sake of other men...
"What did Zhou Yancheng threaten you with?" Chen Fenglie suddenly asked.
Jiang Tian was amused by him. She looked at him and said, "Chen Fenglie, you're really ridiculous."
Chen Fenglie frowned; her words made him inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Go away. It's true that we have no power or influence, but even a rabbit will bite when cornered. You can try and see what I'll do if you target my husband again."
Although her tone was calm and her expression was not fierce, Chen Fenglie could tell from her eyes that she was not joking.
This woman has always had a wild streak. If she did something, hurting him wouldn't be the worst of it, but there's also Jiang Qing...
Chen Fenglie's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
He stood still, and Jiang Tian ignored him. She carefully took out a tissue and whispered to Zhou Yancheng, "Don't move, let me wipe it for you."
His tone was extremely gentle.
Zhou Yancheng let her do whatever she wanted on his face without saying a word.
Chen Fenglie stood there, and suddenly the scene in front of him was very jarring.
There was a time when this woman took care of him in this way...
Just as he left without a word, Jiang Tian finished wiping Zhou Yancheng.
"Did I scare you just now?"
Jiang Tian's voice was cautious.
Her embarrassment made Zhou Yancheng raise an eyebrow. He frankly said, "I wasn't scared, just a little surprised."
Jiang Tian sighed and sat down by his hospital bed: "Someone like Chen Fenglie, who climbed up from the bottom, is extremely arrogant. If I don't act a bit crazy, he won't let it go."
Zhou Yancheng's eyes flickered: "You seem to know him very well."
"Having known him for seven years, I've come to understand him a little bit."
Jiang Tian stopped mentioning him and instead became worried about Zhou Yancheng's injury: "What did the doctor say?"
Zhou Yancheng recalled: "They said it was a mild concussion and told me to go home and rest for a week."
"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."
Jiang Tian's expression was very serious.
Zhou Yancheng shook his head: "Even if it wasn't this incident, there would have been others. The Zhou family doesn't like me and has never stopped causing me trouble."
The leader was simply doing Chen Fenglie a favor by doing him a favor.
The construction site there has been consistently behind on wages; anyone from the company who goes there will be severely penniless.
He did go, that's true; his injury was just part of the plan, and he got what he wanted.
It was worth it.
Jiang Tian inquired carefully about Zhou Yancheng's injuries and breathed a sigh of relief after learning that he was indeed alright.
The doctor said he could be discharged at any time, and Zhou Yancheng planned to go home that day.
"Should we observe for a few more days?" Jiang Tian asked, still worried.
"There's no need. All the necessary tests have been done, and you'll recover better when you get back."
Since he had said that, Jiang Tian had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, they lived in an old house, and Zhou Yancheng returned with a bandage on his head, so few people saw him.
When they got home, Jiang Tian first poured Zhou Yancheng a glass of warm water.
Seeing that he had finished drinking, she looked at Zhou Yancheng as if she had made up her mind and said, "I have something I want to tell you."
Zhou Yancheng put down his cup and looked at her: "Go ahead and say it."
"Starting tonight, you'll be sleeping in the bed. Sleeping on the sofa all the time will make it hard for your legs to stretch out; how will you recover?"
Zhou Yancheng was stunned when he heard this.
“The bed in the bedroom is quite big; it’s a double bed that can sleep two people. I was originally planning to find an opportunity for you to sleep on the bed while I slept on the sofa. But you’re injured, and if you need anything, I won’t be able to sleep peacefully without you by my side.”
"So starting tonight, let's sleep in the same bed."
Jiang Tian's expression suggested that she had already made up her mind about this matter and was simply informing Zhou Yancheng.
Zhou Yancheng's expression was somewhat subtle. He had only thought about his work arrangements after the injury and had forgotten about this matter.
"No need, I'll just sleep on the sofa. Concussions heal very quickly."
"Do you think something might happen if we sleep in the same bed?" Jiang Tian asked him.
Zhou Yancheng was startled by her words and looked at her: "You know perfectly well that's not what I meant."
"Then what are you being awkward about? Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. As for me, I can tell you're not interested in me."
As she said this, Zhou Yancheng's mind flashed back to that chaotic night.
When she's kissed, her eyelashes tremble as if she can't bear it...
When she tilted her head back, her face and neck looked as if they were coated with rouge...
"Zhou Yancheng, are you even listening to me?"
Zhou Yancheng snapped back to his senses, a fleeting hint of unease crossing his eyes.
"Let's forget about it, there's really no need."
Zhou Yancheng tried to refuse again.
"You like me? You want to do 'that' with me? Or are you afraid you won't be able to control yourself?"
Zhou Yancheng almost had his heart stop beating from Jiang Tian's question: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
“I’m talking to you about your injury. If it’s not for these reasons, then everything else can be overcome. You can come over and sleep here tonight.”
Seeing that Zhou Yancheng was about to open his mouth again, Jiang Tian casually put a piece of fruit into his mouth.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I have a conscience, little brother."
