Chapter 132

Honey, I didn’t mean to,” Bai Jing cried. “I just didn’t want you to think that I had been with any man other than you.”

“So you’d rather call Li Fulong than call the police?”

“I know many women in this world would do the same,” Bai Jing said. “Even if they are truly raped or drugged, they choose not to report it to the police. Because even if the perpetrator is punished by law, they can’t hold their heads high. Even if they didn’t do the wrong thing, they are the ones who bear the consequences. Whether at home or outside, they will be pointed at and gossiped about. Like our neighbors, their daughter was raped multiple times because of her intellectual disability. But their daughter didn’t know it was rape; she only thought it was a way to get money and buy good food. Almost everyone in the neighborhood knows about their daughter’s experience, so they are out of place in this community and don’t even want to talk to us. I don’t want to end up like that, which is why I didn’t want to report it to the police, why I called Li Fulong, and why I wanted to keep it from you for the rest of my life. Husband, I didn’t do the wrong thing; I don’t want to bear such a terrible consequence.”

“Then why Li Fulong?”

“I’ve already explained it to you.”

“You knew he would threaten you, yet you still called him. Aren’t you stupid?”

“I’m stupid, honey, you can scold me all you want.”

Seeing that his wife had given in, Han An became even angrier.

Looking at his wife, Han An asked, “Is there anything you’re hiding from me?”

“No…that’s all…”

“Really?”

“Really not.”

When answering her husband, Bai Jing kept staring at the floor.

Seeing his wife’s expression, where she didn’t even dare to look him in the eye, Han An was so angry that he didn’t know what to say.

Do you even know the man who touched you on August 6th?

“I don’t know him,” Bai Jing said. “If you don’t believe me, husband, I can sign the agreement.”

“No need, it’s pointless,” Han An said, his face still grim. “I’m going out. Remember to pick up our son.”

“Honey, where are you going?”

“Seeing you makes me angry, so I need to go outside for some fresh air,” Han An said as he turned and walked away. “I won’t be back tonight.”

“Honey, can you forgive me?”

“You believe you’ve done nothing wrong, so why do you need my forgiveness?”

“I made a mistake because I kept it from you.”

“If you continue to hide things from me, then let’s just get a divorce.”

“Could you please stop using the word ‘divorce’ all the time?”

“I didn’t want to either,” Han An said, glancing at his wife. “It’s just that I feel like we’re growing further and further apart. I even feel like you’ve never opened your heart to me.”

“If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t have married you.”

“Opening your heart and loving are two different things.”

“Honey, I really didn’t mean to.”

“I hate this phrase the most because many women use it to excuse themselves when they do something wrong.”

“I just…”

Before Bai Jing could finish speaking, Han An had already opened the door and left.

Thump!

The door slammed shut so loudly that Bai Jing trembled.

I clearly wanted to save this marriage, but why is it becoming more and more fragile?

Bai Jing really didn’t know what to do in this situation.

She originally planned to have Xu Xiaoru sleep with Li Fulong and film the whole thing, giving her leverage over him. Plus, she believed her husband was really in Huizhou, so she felt everything was foolproof. But to her utter surprise, her husband actually broke in. Even now, she doesn’t know that Han Sheng gave her husband Li Fulong’s room number; she still thinks her husband is following her.

How can this marriage, which has already developed cracks, be repaired?

Honestly, Bai Jing didn’t know the answer either.

After sitting there blankly for about ten minutes, Bai Jing finally went to the kindergarten.

As for Han An, he was heading towards the hospital where Li Fulong was.

Just as he got on the bus, Han An called Li Fulong and learned that Li Fulong was at the People’s Hospital.

When Han An arrived at Li Fulong’s ward, he saw that Li Fulong was receiving an IV drip.

Compared to when he was in the hotel, Li Fulong was much more sober.

Walking to the bedside, Han An said, “Tell me everything that happened.”

“Since you came to see me, you didn’t even prepare any fruit?”

“I’m worried I might not be able to resist injecting poison into the fruit.”

“Your wife tricked me, and now you want to poison me?”

“If you hadn’t wanted to sleep with my wife, would you have gotten yourself into this mess?” Han An said. “Lust is a dangerous thing, and I hope you, you fat pig, can understand that. But knowing you as I do, I know you definitely won’t. I reckon you’ll still be thinking about sleeping with some married woman after you recover.”

“The most wonderful thing is sleeping with married women, but unfortunately you don’t understand this principle,” Li Fulong said. “Actually, I shouldn’t have let your wife leave this afternoon. She called over a very pretty girl, who looked like a celebrity. Then she said she had to go to the bank to do some business and would be back in half an hour, and I actually believed her. I was thinking of playing with the girl she called over first, and then playing with her later, which would be more cost-effective.”

“You want both fish and bear’s paw?”

“I want them all; one should be greedy.”

“Sleeping with married women is a sure way to get yourself killed.”

“Sleeping with married women is really wonderful, why don’t you try it?”

Upon hearing this, Han An couldn’t help but think of Xu Yina.

When he was having an affair with Xu Yina, she was already divorced. But because she had just divorced Sun Minghao, Han An still considered her a married woman.

This means that he has indeed slept with married women.

As for whether it’s exciting or not, he didn’t know how to answer.

In short, having a relationship with Xu Yina was a thrilling yet frightening experience for Han An.

“I don’t have any relatives here in Shenzhen, so you have to go buy me dinner.”

“Still not full? Want me to give you a few more punches?”

Seeing Han An’s raised fist, Li Fulong was extremely angry.

Even though he was furious, he didn’t dare to lose his temper with Han An.

This is Shenzhen, not Lijiang.

After smiling, Li Fulong asked, “What do you want to know?”

“You should know what I want to know.”

“Then you should bring your wife along; that would make the conversation much more enjoyable.”

“She has already told me everything, and I’m here now to hear what you have to say.”

Did she tell you that I was her savior?

“certainly.”

“In ancient times, many women who were rescued would offer themselves to the rescuer, so your wife really doesn’t know what’s good for her.”

As soon as Li Fulong finished speaking, Han An threw a punch at him.

Just as his fist was about to hit Li Fulong’s face, Han An stopped his punch.

Feeling the force of the punch, Li Fulong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had just gone to the restroom, otherwise he might have urinated incontinent.

“Try being glib again?”

“The story is quite simple,” Li Fulong said. “She called me and asked me to come and rescue her. I went and rescued her, then went out to eat with her, and that afternoon I took her back to the inn. That’s the general outline, but some details are really funny. For example, when I saw her, her hands and feet were tied up, and she looked like a female dog. I also saw a used condom on the ground, which was evidence that she had been raped, hehe!”

Upon hearing Li Fulong’s words, Han An asked, “Where is she being held captive?”
