Chapter 18

Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Han An hurriedly asked, “With whom did you cheat?”

“Can I please not say anything?” Bai Jing said. “I promised to keep it a secret for Xiaoru, so if you tell Xiaoru about her husband, I’ll definitely be scolded to death by her. We women care about our reputation the most, so I really don’t want to ruin Xiaoru’s reputation because of me.”

“If you care about your reputation, then why did you cheat on your partner? Since you’ve already cheated, you should be prepared to be disgraced!”

“It wasn’t me, it was her. I didn’t cheat on her.”

“Who is she having an affair with?”

“From her company.”

“who?”

“It’s a man with a higher position than her, but I don’t know exactly who he is.”

“I need to tell Zhou Tao about this.”

“Honey, please don’t do this,” Bai Jing said. “If you tell Zhou Tao about this, he will definitely divorce Xiao Ru. Their daughter is only one year old. Can you bear to do that? After I found out about Xiao Ru’s affair, I advised her several times, and she promised to change her ways. As long as Zhou Tao doesn’t know about Xiao Ru’s affair, and Xiao Ru behaves herself afterward, it can be treated as if she never cheated.”

“In your opinion, even if you’ve cheated, as long as you can keep it from your husband for the rest of your life, it’s as if it never happened?”

“That’s not what I meant. What I meant was,” Bai Jing said, sounding a little anxious, “Everyone makes mistakes. We should give Xiaoru a chance. At worst, if she cheats on us again, we’ll tell Zhou Tao and let him decide whether or not to get a divorce.”

“Okay,” Han An said, “Anyway, when you have time, have a good talk with Xiaoru and tell her not to do anything to betray Zhou Tao again. Our two families often visit each other, and Zhou Tao is a very good person, so I’m genuinely angry. In my opinion, if she doesn’t love Zhou Tao anymore, she can just be honest with him. Why does she have to let other men sleep with her all the time?”

“Honey, keep your voice down, don’t let passersby hear you.”

“I’m sure there are a lot of women as despicable as Xu Xiaoru,” Han An said. “Take Ma Rong for example, she’s really despicable. Not only did she have an affair with Song Zhe, but she also tried to swindle Wang Baoqiang out of all his money. Didn’t I see the news last week that Song Zhe was arrested? But when Ma Rong was in court, she actually said that she still wanted to divorce Wang Baoqiang and that they still had feelings for each other.”

“I’ve also seen related news.”

Let’s part ways here.

“Husband, I…”

“I’m in a really bad mood right now, can’t you just leave me alone for a bit?”

“Then you go first, and I’ll follow behind.”

“Go your own way,” Han An said after glancing at his watch. “It’s ten o’clock now. Let’s meet again around three or four in the afternoon.”

“Where are you going?”

“I’m just taking a walk.”

“I don’t want this to happen.”

Han An wanted to say something, but seeing his wife’s tears, he didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Biting her lower lip, Bai Jing, her eyes blurry with tears, choked out, “Husband, I didn’t lie to you. I stayed in the city for three days just to clear my head. I didn’t come here specifically to see anyone. Husband, you always believed me before, but why don’t you believe me this time? I don’t know what I did wrong. Please tell me, husband. If I really did something wrong, I will definitely change my ways.”

Han An is the kind of person who is easily moved to tears, so he always wants to give his wife a perfect hug.

But if he softened his heart, he wouldn’t be able to go to the Flower Bamboo Inn, so he stood there and said, “Wife, you didn’t do anything wrong, I’m just a little upset. You should have heard that absence makes the heart grow fonder, so I don’t think it’s a bad thing for us to be apart for a few hours. How about we meet in the ancient city at three o’clock this afternoon, right where we first met.”

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Jing nodded.

“Then stop crying.”

After saying that, Han An reached out to wipe away the tears from his wife’s eyes.

After drying him off, Han An said, “Sometimes I think you’re very strong, and sometimes I think you’re a crybaby.”

“I’m just worried that there’s something wrong with our relationship.”

“As long as you haven’t done anything to betray me, there definitely won’t be any problems.”

“Honey, are you angry with me because of what happened on Chicken Island?”

“It’s not like you let him touch you willingly, why should I be angry?”

“So where do you plan to go next?”

“I’m planning to take a walk around,” Han An said with a smile. “How about we play a game called ‘Buying Gifts’? Over the next five hours, we’ll pick out a gift for each other and see if the other person is satisfied.”

“Um!”

Seeing his wife beaming with joy, Han An said, “I’ll go this way, you go that way.”

“You’re not going to the ancient city.”

“Who says gifts have to be bought in the old town?” Han An said. “Besides, you’re very familiar with everything in the old town, so whatever I buy won’t satisfy you.”

“I’ll be happy with anything you buy, my husband.”

“Then I’m going to make you extremely satisfied.”

After giving his wife a quick hug, Han An turned and left.

Han An had a smile on his face when he was talking to his wife.

Now, he has a cold face.

Han An once thought he could confide in his wife for the rest of his life, but now it seems impossible.

Thinking of those five pubic hairs and the underwear that implied his wife’s depravity, Han An’s expression grew even colder.

Only after her husband disappeared around the corner did Bai Jing head towards the entrance of the ancient city.

Bai Jing naturally found it strange that her husband insisted on separating.

Little did she know that her husband was going to the Flower Bamboo Inn.

Or rather, she never imagined that her husband would use Ctrip to find out which guesthouse she had stayed at.

Bai Jing was a fair-skinned beauty with a tall, slender figure, large breasts, and a shapely bottom, so when she walked down the street, many people stared at her. Most of the men’s gazes were somewhat greedy, as if they wanted to devour her. As for the women looking at Bai Jing, their eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

After all, Bai Jing is simply too perfect in terms of figure and face.

“Hi beautiful,” a man struck up a conversation. “This is my first time in Lijiang. What about you?”

“I’m sorry,” Bai Jing said, “if you’re trying to flirt, please find someone else. I already have a husband.”

“I’m not trying to pick you up, I just want to chat casually,” the man said with a smile. “Although Lijiang is known as the capital of romantic encounters, I’ve never thought of it that way. I just think this place is really nice, a place where you can calm down. I just went for a walk near Black Dragon Pool, and the scenery is really beautiful, so I’m even thinking of buying a house near the old town. Beautiful lady, are you a local? If so, can you recommend some properties for me? I’m planning to spend a million. Of course, if there are properties with even better views, two or three million wouldn’t be a problem.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing sized up the man.

After looking you over, Bai Jing said, “You’re dressed in designer brands, so you must be a rich kid.”
