Sheng Jun held Shen Xuemei tightly, veins bulged on his forehead and his eyes were bloodshot.
He almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "Shen Xuemei, do you know that you are my Sheng Jun's wife! You are my woman! It's been 20 years, are you still thinking about him in your heart?"
“Bang!”
Shen Xuemei was imprisoned by Sheng Jun and could not move. She felt shame, anger and fear in her heart.
Her face flushed, and she raised her hand with all her strength and gave Sheng Jun a loud slap in the face.
This slap completely woke Sheng Jun up and shattered his tolerance of the past twenty years.
He stood there in a daze, and the anger on his face was gradually replaced by a deep despair and self-mockery.
After marrying Shen Xuemei, Sheng Jun slowly realized that Shen Xuemei had someone in her heart.
Lu Xiangdong and Shen Xuemei are neighbors who grew up together. She has had a secret crush on Lu Xiangdong since childhood.
Later, Lu Xiangdong joined the army, and Shen Xuemei spent days and nights in endless waiting.
Unexpectedly, on the first day Lu Xiangdong returned home, his family arranged a blind date for him.
Lu Xiangdong treated Shen Xuemei only as a childhood friend and never had any romantic feelings towards her.
Shen Xuemei never even had the chance to confess her love.
Lu Xiangdong fell in love with his blind date Liu Fangru at first sight. The next day after the blind date, they quickly got married.
Just then, Shen Xuemei suddenly turned her gaze to Sheng Jun.
This man was once just a little follower of Lu Xiangdong.
At that time, facing Shen Xuemei's active pursuit, Sheng Jun was like a traveler who suddenly saw the light in the darkness. He was powerless to resist and fell into it in an instant.
Twenty years ago, Shen Xuemei was innocent and passionate, and Sheng Jun was deeply attracted to her and couldn't extricate himself.
However, in the days after their marriage, Shen Xuemei often asked Sheng Jun about Lu Xiangdong. Sheng Jun then suddenly realized that his wife had always loved someone else.
Although Sheng Jun was in great pain, he endured it silently over the years.
He kept comforting himself that as long as he cared for Shen Xuemei, one day she would be moved by his sincerity.
But reality was like a cold blade, ruthlessly piercing his fantasy.
He gradually realized that if a heart is not with him, no matter how hard he tries, he cannot warm it.
Sheng Jun slowly let go of Shen Xuemei, his eyes empty and cold. He sat up mechanically, picked up the clothes on the ground, and slowly put them on one by one.
Shen Xuemei looked at Sheng Jun's back, feeling a little guilty. She whispered with a guilty conscience, "I'm...I'm sorry."
Sheng Jun put on his clothes, stood up, and walked to the bedroom door with an expressionless face.
Suddenly, he stopped, turned around, and said to Shen Xuemei resolutely: "Comrade Shen Xuemei, let's get a divorce!"
When Shen Xuemei heard the word "divorce", she was stunned and the guilt on her face was instantly replaced by panic.
She widened her eyes, unable to believe her ears. She never expected that Sheng Jun would say such words to her.
Over the past twenty years, although their relationship was not as affectionate as those of loving couples, they had always treated each other with respect, and she had never thought it would come to this.
She stood up in a panic, staggered to Sheng Jun, grabbed his arm tightly with both hands, and asked in a trembling voice: "What did you say? Say it again!"
Sheng Jun glanced at her coldly, the love that once existed in his eyes had long since disappeared without a trace, leaving only endless disappointment and indifference.
He forcefully shook off Shen Xuemei's hand that was pulling him, and the cold voice seemed to come from hell.
"For more than 20 years, your heart has never been on me. At first, I thought I wasn't good enough to you, until I saw the look in your eyes when you looked at Teacher Lu, I realized that I could never replace the person in your heart."
"It's not that you don't want a child, you just don't want to have one with me. You still have fantasies, but, Shen Xuemei, is your heart made of iron? Have you never thought that my heart would also hurt?"
"Tomorrow I will ask for approval from my superiors. We will get a divorce and I will give you your freedom."
Shen Xuemei collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
She begged bitterly, "Sheng Jun, I don't want a divorce. I don't want to divorce you. Let's not get divorced, okay?"
She knew in her heart that if she divorced, she would have to move out of the military compound, and it would be difficult for her to see Lu Xiangdong again.
When she thought that she might be separated from Lu Xiangdong in the future, her heart was filled with panic.
No!
She can't get a divorce!
Shen Xuemei struggled to get up again, stumbled towards Sheng Jun, and grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly.
She cried, "Shengjun, we have been together for 20 years. Do you dare to say that you don't love me anymore? Are you really willing to divorce me?"
Sheng Jun took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress the pain and anger in his heart, and pushed Shen Xuemei away again.
Then he said coldly: "I have made up my mind. I don't want to spend endless time with you like this for twenty years! I want to live a normal life."
After saying that, he raised his legs and was about to walk towards the study room next door, but Shen Xuemei hugged him tightly from behind again.
Shen Xuemei's face was covered with tears, and she kissed Sheng Jun's cheeks and neck frantically.
She cried in his ear: "Shengjun, don't leave, look back at me, I promise you, I will give birth to a child for you, please don't chase me away, okay?"
Sheng Jun clenched his fists, veins bulged on his arms, and he struggled hard between pain and anger.
Seeing that Sheng Jun was indifferent, Shen Xuemei continued to cry, "Sheng Jun, you can't be so cruel. If we get divorced, I will be kicked out of the military compound and I will go back to my hometown. You...you can't be so cruel to me..."
Sheng Jun's heart, which had just begun to relax, suddenly woke up like a flame extinguished by cold water.
He suddenly laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, at this point, you don't really want to live a good life with me, nor do you really want to have children with me. You just don't want to leave the military compound!"
"Because if you leave, you'll never see him again, right?"
Suddenly, Sheng Jun grabbed Shen Xuemei's neck with both hands and pressed her against the wall.
He stared at her angrily and asked, "Shen Xuemei! Do you have a heart? In these twenty years, have you ever considered me as your husband? Even for just one moment?"
In the darkness, there was only the sound of Shen Xuemei crying, and he did not get any response in the end.
With a "bang", Sheng Jun let go of Shen Xuemei, turned around and slammed the door and left.
Shen Xuemei curled up on the ground in fear, her body shaking constantly.
But what came to her mind was not the past with Sheng Jun, but Lu Xiangdong's every smile that haunted her...
