"You two know each other?" Sun Xingyan asked.
“I am Zhaodi’s husband.”
"Oh my, what a coincidence!"
Sun Xingyan slapped his thigh. He hadn't expected that this wealthy man, whose words had been so insightful, was Xia's man.
He had wondered what kind of person Xia, who was so beautiful, would be in a relationship with. He immediately ruled out rich people, but now he was proven wrong.
It's possible that this man just made his fortune, but the scale of his wealth doesn't seem like it.
"Professor Deng, hello, I'm Leng Minghui." Leng Minghui greeted Professor Deng first. Seeing that his wife's employer was indeed as she had said, he felt half relieved.
The other half is that he doesn't know if there are other men in Professor Deng's family.
"Hello, since you're here, please come in and have a seat," Professor Deng invited with a smile.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Professor Deng.” Leng Minghui then took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Sun Xingyan. “Xingyan, this is my business card. You can call me if you want to go to Shenzhen.”
"Okay, Brother Hui, you guys go ahead with your work, I have to go now."
It was obvious that something was going on between Leng Minghui and his wife, and Sun Xingyan wisely refrained from following them.
Leng Minghui felt a pang of discomfort as he watched Xia Baozhu carry Professor Deng upstairs. He could afford a nanny, but his wife was working as someone else's nanny.
“Professor Deng, I’m here to resign on behalf of Zhao Di,” Leng Minghui said to Professor Deng after sitting down.
"Resign? Did you discuss it with Xia Baozhu?" Professor Deng looked at the anger on Xia Baozhu's face.
"It's like this, my husband and I have been living apart for a long time, only seeing each other during the Chinese New Year. We still haven't been able to have a child, and I want to take her to another city for a checkup."
Leng Minghui knew that when talking to these intellectuals, one had to persuade them with reason, so he directly laid out their predicament, leaving Professor Deng with no way to refuse.
What he said made perfect sense. He was getting a medical checkup for his wife's sake, and having children was a top priority for the couple as he was getting older.
"Xia, what's your decision?"
Professor Deng was reluctant to part with Xia Baozhu. This student was diligent and intelligent, and she could grasp things very quickly. She could even play a simple piece on the piano.
If she leaves now and has to put aside what she's learning, it would be a waste of her great talent and a complete failure.
"Professor, may I speak with him alone in Tongtong's room?"
"Go."
Closing the door, Xia Baozhu coldly addressed Leng Minghui, "What right do you have to resign for me?"
"Because we are husband and wife, I can support you, you don't need to do this kind of work."
Leng Minghui looked into Xia Baozhu's eyes and spoke with such deep affection that she felt like vomiting.
The first time, she couldn't stand other people's stares and looked away.
"You support me? What a joke! Can't I support myself? What have you done for me in these past few years of marriage? That twenty yuan? The clothes your sister took?"
“I used to be busy with work and would only send money to my mom every month. I thought she would give it to you. I was wrong about that. From now on, I will give you the money directly.”
"No need, let's get a divorce."
Xia Baozhu watched as Leng Minghui's words became increasingly outrageous, not only talking about divorce but also showing signs of wanting to turn over a new leaf.
Since he won't bring up divorce, then let her bring it up.
"Divorce? Do you really have someone else? Who? Is it the man in this house?"
Leng Minghui's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He grabbed Xia Baozhu's arm, his breath almost hitting her face, but Xia Baozhu quickly dodged away.
The first thing Leng Minghui saw when he entered was a group photo of Professor Deng's family, which included two adult men.
He was young, with a refined and respectable appearance, clearly a highly educated intellectual.
Such men are most popular with women, especially those who are open to new things; even a poorly written poem can make them dizzy with delight.
He was away from home most of the year, and Xia Zhaodi was treated harshly by his family. In contrast, she was treated well in a family like Professor Deng's, making it easy for her to develop feelings for someone like him.
"What nonsense are you talking about! It has nothing to do with anyone else, it's just between the two of us! Your mother keeps telling you to come back and divorce me, your whole family is demanding that you divorce me. Wouldn't it be a happy ending for everyone if we got divorced?"
Xia Baozhu felt that she and he were not on the same wavelength.
"Also, don't lay a hand on me."
Xia Baozhu broke free from Leng Minghui's grasp. She was disgusted by others touching her inappropriately, especially by strangers. She clenched her fists, but eventually let go.
She doesn't dare to harm the male lead yet, fearing that his protagonist aura will retaliate.
She also ignored the fleeting sadness that belonged to the original owner of the body that crossed her mind.
The original owner was too weak, which is why she was bullied like this. It proves that the Leng family members are all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. If you are strong, they are weak.
“We’re husband and wife, why can’t we touch each other? You won’t let me go back to my room to sleep at night, and you won’t let me touch you during the day. You say you don’t have anyone else in your heart, how can I believe you?”
Leng Minghui's eyes were bloodshot from anger and lack of sleep the night before, making him look like he was about to devour someone.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Xia Baozhu sneered, her anger making her face flush with a thin layer of pink, her pretty appearance making Leng Minghui both angry and fond of her.
"Divorce is impossible unless you want something to happen to your man," Leng Minghui threatened.
Leng Minghui considered Xia Zhaodi to be his private property, that her heart and body should belong to him, and that he would never let any other man into her heart.
If so, he would make that person disappear.
Xia Baozhu wished she could slap him ten times to make him watch his mouth.
