Zhu Tianfan had just been about to throw away the purple private clothing when the bedroom door suddenly opened. The moment he saw Leng Bingning walk in, his entire body stiffened.
His voice trembled uncontrollably, “Hus…band… w-wife, you… why… why did you come back?”
What was going on? Leng Bingning was supposed to be at the Dream Illusion Bar, getting tossed around all night by five yellow-haired thugs. How had she returned home in just 10 minutes?
[Wait—damn it! What I’m holding is that woman’s taboo! I’m completely finished this time. Once mud falls into your pants, whether it’s shit or not, it’s still shit! If she sees this, she’ll think I’m trying to do something with her private clothing! Tch! Tch! Tch! What rotten luck! Of all times to come back, it had to be now!]
Panicking, Zhu Tianfan quickly stuffed the purple private clothing back under the pillow. Then he jumped off the bed, dragged over a chair, and sat down with his head lowered, waiting to be scolded.
He had imagined scenes of his domineering CEO wife disciplining her husband countless times in his mind. By now, he was already familiar with the routine.
Fortunately, Leng Bingning still retained some dignity. She preferred standing and looking down at him rather than forcing him to kneel and apologize like the previous version of him.
[With that woman’s domineering personality, the 50 million I’m supposed to get tomorrow during the divorce is probably gone. And those five beauties who were supposed to help me in my old age… all slipping away…]
[Life… why has it suddenly become so dark and hopeless?]
Leng Bingning stepped inside and casually glanced at Zhu Tianfan—and at the purple private clothing in his hand. A faint sense of embarrassment flickered in her heart.
Her expression remained cold as she looked down at him and said through clenched teeth, “Husband, if I didn’t come home, where else would I stay? Live in the bar?”
This useless husband of hers… his mind was full of nothing but divorce and using 50 million to find five cheap women to take care of him in old age.
Divorce?
Not even in his next life.
Leng Bingning lightly poked the purple private clothing, then placed her hands in front of her chest, still staring down at him coldly. “What, planning to help me wash my private clothing again tonight? Fine. I’ll stand right here and watch you wash.”
She wanted to see what he would do next—whether he would really bring water and wash it, or break down crying and beg for mercy like before.
Still, this bit of resistance from her husband after rebirth had made her look at him slightly differently.
[Tch! You’ve got the nerve to say that. Of course you should’ve stayed in the bar, getting tossed around by five thugs, enjoying your sweet little affair with your lover!]
[But something’s off… her face looks a bit flushed. Could it be she woke up halfway through and escaped? Hahaha… serves her right!]
Zhu Tianfan forced a stiff smile onto his face, his expression twitching as he looked up at her nervously. “Hehe… y-you’re absolutely right, wife. I… I really was planning to help you wash your private clothing. Hehe…”
After getting her approval, he hurried to the bathroom, filled a basin with clean water, and began washing the clothing right there in the bedroom. New chapters come out on g.com first.
[Forget it, I’ll just wash it. At least it’s better than being forced to stay up all night writing a husband’s repentance letter on the toilet like before.]
[Lan Ruyue and Leng Xiner are so useless. They barely used any drugs—she woke up halfway and ran back. What a waste…]
[Wait… could it be she didn’t get to enjoy herself with her lover and is taking it out on me? What a vicious woman! Tch!]
[Hopefully washing this will make her happy enough to divorce me tomorrow morning. La la la…]
…
“Zhu Tianfan!”
Leng Bingning spat out his name through gritted teeth, her anger flaring instantly.
What kind of husband actually wished for his own wife to be abused all night by five thugs?
She took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, closing her eyes to calm herself.
Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry.
She brought this upon herself. This was all for the sake of easing their current relationship.
In her previous life, Zhu Tianfan had crawled and begged for decades just to collect her corpse and give her a proper burial. If he could endure that, why couldn’t she tolerate a few of his complaints in this life?
Zhu Tianfan, unaware of her inner turmoil, carefully scrubbed the clothing while forcing a smile. “W-wife, I’m here. Just need to rinse it twice more and it’ll be clean.”
Leng Bingning nodded, struggling to suppress the anger building inside her. “After you finish washing it, hang it up, then go to sleep.”
After that, she ignored him completely. Kicking off her high heels, she removed her black stockings, revealing long, fair legs so smooth they almost seemed to glow. Exhaustion weighed on her as she sat on the bed, lost in thought.
Tonight, the joint betrayal by her best friend Lan Ruyue and her younger sister Leng Xiner had shown her the ugliest side of human nature.
[Ding!]
Leng Bingning glanced coldly at the message sent by Bodyguard Xiao Yi. In the video, Lan Ruyue and Leng Xiner were being wildly tossed around in a room by ten yellow-haired thugs.
Serves those two right.
She quickly sent a reply, [Back up the footage. It will be useful later.]
After that, she lifted her gaze and looked at Zhu Tianfan again. This story is hosted at g.com.
She had always believed that as the number one domineering female CEO in the Magic City, she would never fail. Her judgment of people had always been accurate.
But tonight, if not for Zhu Tianfan, the price paid by Lan Ruyue and Leng Xiner would have been hers instead.
Looking at him, she once again recalled the thoughts she had overheard earlier.
A man who could crawl and beg for decades just to bury her… what kind of love was that, to sustain such unwavering persistence?
She knew she could never do the same. Perhaps she would have chosen despair… even death.
Ah… such a flawless love, yet she had destroyed it with her own hands. In this life, Zhu Tianfan would probably never love her again.
A heavy sense of loss and regret surged in her chest. Before she could stop herself, a tear slipped quietly from the corner of her eye.
Meanwhile, Zhu Tianfan was nothing like the previous timid version of himself. Taking advantage of washing the clothing, he secretly stole a few glances at Leng Bingning’s long legs.
A woman with proportions like hers was rare—those long, fair legs were easily the kind one could admire for ten years.
Huh? Why was this domineering CEO suddenly crying? That was strange.
[Her legs are amazing… I really want to touch them! Huh? Why is she crying?!]
[No way! Doesn’t she always claim to be the number one domineering CEO in the Magic City? And now she’s secretly shedding tears in front of me?]
[It must be because Lan Ruyue and Leng Xiner didn’t use enough drugs, so she woke up and felt the pain of losing her innocence. Serves her right! Tch!]
[Wait… no, the one who’s really unlucky is me! With her personality, she’ll definitely make me take responsibility. I’m doomed—I’m about to be cuckolded! Oh heavens, oh earth, why am I so miserable?!]
[But… maybe it’s not that bad. If she gives me 500 million to go find 50 beauties to take care of me, I wouldn’t mind taking the fall…]
[Yeah, that’s the plan. Then I’ll bring up divorce again—she’ll definitely agree happily!]
Leng Bingning’s tears stopped instantly. Her chest tightened as she clenched her teeth in fury.
What a ridiculous husband. What a shameless “replacement husband.” How dare he slander and insult his own domineering CEO wife like this?
If not for wanting to ease their relationship, if not for fearing that a single harsh word would make him overthink again, she would have already kicked him back into the bathroom.
Ah… she couldn’t take it anymore!
This husband of hers kept muttering nonsense right in front of her. It was unbearable!
“Zhu Tianfan! Go hang the clothes right now!”
