"You just got out of my bed and you're already arm in arm with another man? You've got some nerve!"
Shen Ye's expression changed slightly, and his gaze towards Bai Chuheng became somewhat languid.
He put his arm around Bai Chuheng's neck, his tone casual.
"After all, the warlord has a beautiful wife to embrace, so I should find someone to embrace too, shouldn't I?"
Bai Chuheng raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
"I've been sleeping with the warlord for almost a year now, haven't I? We're openly holding hands in public, so why hasn't the warlord treated me like this before?"
Shen Ye's words were half true and half false, sounding like a complaint, but more like a test.
Shen Ye is Bai Chuheng's adopted son.
Putting aside the relationship, it's difficult for the world to bless two men together; they'll likely face scorn, ridicule, and gossip.
How could a chauvinistic man like Bai Chuheng not care about what others think?
Therefore, at least for now, he can't bring himself to divorce his wife and be with Shen Ye in a high-profile manner.
But Shang Linjun was able to do just that.
Even if it's possible, so what? Shen Ye doesn't love him. Loving someone who doesn't love you back is really exhausting.
“One month. I’ll only give you one month, otherwise…” Shen Ye kissed Bai Chuheng’s lips and sneered, “Otherwise, I won’t turn back, because I don’t want to wait anymore. What you can give, others can give too, so why should I waste so much time waiting for you?”
Bai Chuheng's gaze turned cold, and he said ruthlessly, "So, Shang Linjun made a promise to you, which is why you acted so recklessly."
"Yeah, sometimes I really want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, but every time the words are on the tip of my tongue, I suddenly realize, what right do I have to talk to you like this!"
"Very good, Bai Jinxiu, well done!" Bai Chuheng slammed his fist on the wall, opened the door and went out.
In City A, the weather was so unpredictable; it started raining heavily without any warning. The windows and doors were open, and the wind rushed in, making Shen Ye sneeze from the cold.
"You're being sarcastic again?"
A mocking voice came from the doorway, where Shang Linjun stood.
"Why bother? Being sarcastic might feel good for a moment..."
"That's still better than dragging things out in ambiguity." Shen Ye interrupted Shang Linjun, straightened his clothes, and walked into the house.
"Are you really sure? If he doesn't divorce you in a month, you're coming with me."
"Um."
"Then I hope he doesn't get a divorce."
"Of course you hope so, but we can't say for sure what the outcome will be right now. However, I believe he won't let me down." Shen Ye glanced at him.
"Shall we bet?" Shang Linjun became interested, put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the table, his arrogant demeanor completely unlike the person in the original owner's memories.
“Okay, how do we bet?” Shen Ye was convinced that Bai Chuheng would not let him down.
"If he doesn't get a divorce in a month, you'll not only come with me, but you'll also be with me and become mine. How about it? Want to bet?"
Shen Ye lowered his gaze slightly, stood up, and walked to Shang Linjun. "Alright, it's a deal."
In any case, the outcome is the same for Shen Ye.
If Bai Chuheng gets divorced, he can follow his heart. If he doesn't get divorced, he can be with Shang Linjun, which will be perfect for disgusting Bai Chuheng.
This bet is a win-win situation, so why not take it?
"Don't rush to agree. I'll give you one night to think it over. We can gamble after you've thought it through. Otherwise, it would be bad if you said I took advantage of you and forced you."
"I've thought it through. There's no need to think about it anymore. It's settled then."
Only in front of Shang Linjun could Shen Ye laugh without a care in the world.
