Chapter 17 A Heart Full of Guilt



There are plenty of beautiful women out there; we don't need her.

Xia Baozhu didn't respond to him at all, and went back into the house humming a little tune with the money in her hand.

Anyway, he's said what he wanted to say for Xia Zhaodi and got the money. I guess Leng Minghui's desire for a divorce is probably at its peak now.

She was soon free.

Looking at Xia Zhaodi's shadow reflected in the window, Leng Minghui felt a pang of sadness.

Feeling sad because you can't handle your family problems well.

"Brother, why did you give her so much money?"

With his mother's help, Leng Mingguang stood up, grimacing. The first thing he asked about was money; he was extremely envious of the money in Xia Baozhu's hands.

“That’s right, Minghui, you can’t just give money away like that, no matter how rich you are.” Wang Aixiang felt bad that so much money had been given to that bitch. “Giving it to her is such a waste.”

"Mom, don't you usually give Zhaodi any money?" Leng Minghui asked.

"Why give her money? Isn't it enough that the family provides her with food and shelter? You saw it yourself, it's a good thing I didn't give her any money before, otherwise who knows what kind of wild behavior she would have gone through?"

Leng Minghui sighed deeply. No wonder Xia Zhaodi reacted so strongly.

But there's no use saying anything now. Things have come to this point, and getting a divorce as soon as possible is the best outcome.

The next day, Xia Baozhu was still asleep when she heard Leng Minghui's voice.

"Zhao Di, open the door, I need to talk to you about something."

Disturbing the peace and quiet so early in the morning, Xia Baozhu silently got dressed and went to open the door.

Leng Minghui finally saw Xia Baozhu's face clearly today.

It had been so long since he'd looked at it properly; it felt somewhat unfamiliar.

On their first blind date, she was beautiful and shy, and when she occasionally looked up, her eyes were filled with admiration and love for him, which made him fall in love at first sight.

Later, his face slowly became like a piece of wood, which made him feel bored, yet he felt it was a pity to throw it away.

The face still looks the same, but it seems to have been infused with a new soul.

When her clear, cold eyes looked at him, his heart felt like it had been struck by lightning.

Her demeanor had completely changed; she had become aloof and unapproachable, exuding an air of noble dignity that was neither dignified nor inviolable.

Her thick, curly long hair covered part of her face, adding a touch of allure. Combined with her original aloofness, the two contradictory feelings made people even more captivated by her charm, unable to extricate themselves.

Leng Minghui's heart was pounding like a drum, much faster than when he first met her.

This was the first time he had ever discovered that his wife was even more beautiful and alluring than movie stars.

Especially her peach blossom eyes, though cold, give the impression of a accusation born from suffering, making people want to protect her, please her, and win her favor.

"What do you want?" Xia Baozhu wrapped her cotton coat tighter around herself.

Winter has arrived, and the mornings are much colder than before. A cold wind blew in through the wide-open door, and the temperature inside dropped several degrees instantly.

Looking at her ordinary blue cotton coat, Leng Minghui felt a pang of guilt.

He certainly didn't treat her well.

He originally wanted to talk to her about the divorce, but instead he said, "I want to take you to the department store to buy some clothes."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have to go to work and don't have time to go."

Xia Baozhu thought Leng Minghui had come to discuss divorce, but he put on a disgusting act of owing her something, which immediately made her lose interest.

"You go out during the day to go to work?"

Leng Minghui then realized that the reason she had been going out every day recently was because they hadn't communicated properly, which led to this misunderstanding.

"Otherwise what? I serve your whole family at home, young and old, without getting a single penny, and I still get scolded and beaten?" Xia Baozhu raised her eyes and smiled sarcastically.

What kind of work do you do?

"nanny."

"A nanny? Is the other person male or female?"

The thought of his wife serving another man in such a seductive manner filled Leng Minghui with a surge of jealousy.

He grabbed Xia Baozhu's arm, staring intently at her, trying to discern Li's true nature from her eyes.

"What does this have to do with men and women? Let go of me."

Xia Baozhu impatiently shook off Leng Minghui's hand. If he weren't the male lead, she would have already attacked him.

"Of course it's related! If you were a man, would you know what you're doing?" Leng Minghui grabbed him again, his eyes still showing a fierce look.

"You don't care about your family members bullying me, but you're interfering with my work."

Xia Baozhu's reluctance to answer the question directly infuriated Leng Minghui.

"Come with me to Shenzhen now." He released Xia Baozhu and went inside to find where the two of them kept their documents.

"Why should I listen to you?" Xia Baozhu rolled her eyes. Wasn't Leng Minghui supposed to ignore Xia Zhaodi? Why is he acting like a mad dog now?

"Just because I'm your husband, you have to listen to me!"

"What can you do to me if I don't go?"

Xia Baozhu twirled her long hair around her fingers, completely ignoring Leng Minghui's anger.

“You will lose your job and be forced to go.” Leng Minghui stopped and looked at the nonchalant Xia Baozhu, saying each word slowly and deliberately.

Xia Baozhu considered it for a moment. Given Leng Minghui's earning speed, he was very likely to keep his word. And since some of his men still had guns, she couldn't take the risk.

"Okay, my employer is a retired female professor who has recently been teaching me English. Is that clear enough?"

"Are you learning English? Why?"

Leng Minghui narrowed his eyes, staring at those eyes that captivated him.

He used to think that Xia Zhaodi could share common ground with him and understand what he was saying, but now he's afraid that if she learns too much, she'll run away.

"What's the point of studying?" Xia Baozhu sneered. This laugh sent a jolt through Leng Minghui, as if he had been electrocuted. Even her sneer was so captivating, sending shivers down his spine.

"Of course, it's to make money."

Xia Baozhu raised an eyebrow and slowly gave the answer.

Leng Minghui felt that every word she spoke was radiant, and her laughter, anger, and scolding were like beautiful paintings, enticing him to keep walking towards her.

As Leng Minghui walked over, Xia Baozhu stepped aside to make room for him to walk out.

As a result, Leng Minghui still walked towards her, and Xia Baozhu stretched out her arm and placed her hand on Leng Minghui's chest.

"Stop! What are you doing?" Xia Baozhu felt an itch in her hands, wanting to punch Leng Minghui in the face, but she told herself to hold back.

She had been trying to provoke Leng Minghui to expedite the divorce, but it backfired, provoking him to want to take her to Shenzhen.

Shenzhen is certainly a good place, but she doesn't want to get too close to the male and female leads at all.

Even if she can get Leng Minghui to treat her well now, according to the laws of female-oriented fiction, once the female lead appears, the male lead will definitely target her first in order to show his devotion, and in the end, she will be left destitute.

Therefore, the marriage must end in divorce, and she cannot leave a good impression on the male lead, lest she become the catalyst for the relationship between the male and female leads in the end.
