The next day.
9:30 AM.
As sunlight poured into the entire bedroom, Zhu Tianfan slowly woke from his hazy sleep.
A new day… a happy life was about to begin!
No, wait. Leng Bingning, that domineering female CEO, hadn’t even woken up to bring up the divorce yet. Only after the divorce would his happy life truly begin.
Right now, he was still living in misery. Leng Bingning was a female devil, and the Leng family was her personal hell.
Hm?
Her long legs were actually quite beautiful. Against the light purple silk nightgown, they looked even more dazzling.
To be honest, he didn’t even know how those legs had grown like that… how did she end up reaching a height of 178 cm?
[They really do look amazing. Perfect golden proportions, skin so delicate it looks like it would break with a touch, paired with that light purple nightgown and matching private clothing… truly worthy of the reputation. Just how does she maintain such fair skin? Could it be because she takes milk baths every day?]
[She kicked off the blanket again… should I cover her up? Forget it, I’ll do it. Otherwise, when she wakes up, she’ll glare at me again. We’re divorcing today anyway—might as well part on good terms.]
[Hmm… lying on her side like this, she really is beautiful. With that figure… even I feel tempted. But what’s the point? She won’t let me touch her anyway. Serves her right if that adulterer destroys her!]
Zhu Tianfan gently picked up the blanket and draped it over Leng Bingning’s smooth, fair legs, completely unaware that her entire body trembled slightly.
This useless husband was getting bolder and bolder—he even dared to sneak glances at her legs now.
And not only that, he even dared to curse her to a miserable end in his thoughts!
What a ridiculous man. What a ridiculous husband.
Leng Bingning nearly crushed the blanket in her grip, wanting to open her eyes and kick him to death on the spot. First thing in the morning, and he was already making her furious.
No… she couldn’t get angry. She couldn’t open her eyes. She couldn’t kick him. She couldn’t lose her temper.
She had to reflect on herself.
As a domineering CEO, beating her husband over a few muttered complaints wasn’t worth it.
Besides… he did cover her with the blanket. That at least deserved some praise.
Calm down. Calm down. Calm down.
In the end, Leng Bingning forced herself to remain still, pretending to sleep—out of sight, out of mind.
In truth, she had already been awakened the moment Zhu Tianfan stirred. After his nonstop muttering half the night, her sleep quality had been terrible, and for the first time, she had overslept.
Wait… why was he suddenly standing there frozen? This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Was he planning to take things further with her?
Should she agree… or refuse?
If she agreed, she worried he might overthink. If she refused, she feared he might run away.
What a difficult choice.
Leng Bingning carefully opened her eyes a sliver, casting a cold glance at him, only to find him standing there motionless.
What was wrong with him? Had he started rambling again?
[Right… she looked pretty angry last night. She even yelled at me to close my eyes and sleep. Could it be because I didn’t sleep with her as a replacement husband?]
[Also, I felt like someone was breathing on my face in the middle of the night. Could it have been her? No way. She’d rather I disappear so she can go be lovey-dovey with her adulterer.]
[Why is her body trembling while she sleeps? Did she dream about losing her innocence? Serves her right. I haven’t even made her breakfast yet today—wonder if she’ll glare at me again.]
[Tch! Missing one meal won’t kill her. Even if she died, she’d deserve it! I made breakfast for her for over ten years in my past life, and she never appreciated it!]
Leng Bingning had only just managed to suppress her anger, but hearing his thoughts again made her feel like she was about to explode.
Ah! She couldn’t take it anymore!
She really wanted to jump up and beat him senseless.
What on earth was going on in his head? Why was he constantly slandering her?
As for the adulterer, she still hadn’t figured out who it was. Otherwise, she would have already arranged for revenge.
Thinking of this made her entire body tremble again.
Last night, he had been worse than a dog. She had kindly let him share the bed, yet instead of sleeping, he had kept rambling in his mind about her until past 1:00 AM.
In the end, she couldn’t endure it any longer and snapped, “Close your eyes! Sleep!” Only then had he finally quieted down.
As for the breathing he felt on his face… that had been her on purpose. When he muttered insults about her in his sleep, she had angrily leaned over and breathed on his face to vent her frustration.
…
“Little sister, I’m at your company. Why didn’t I see you today?”
The mobile landline on the bedside table suddenly played a voice message.
Leng Bingning, who had been pretending to sleep, immediately sat up. She cast a cold glance at Zhu Tianfan before picking up the phone.
“Seventh Brother, I’m still at home. I woke up late today because of something. I’ll be at the company by 10:30.”
Beep.
Zhu Tianfan took the chance to quietly pretend to be dead on the side. That cold glare from earlier had been terrifying.
[Seventh Brother… must be one of those seven overprotective brothers. Their endings were all miserable. They were all destroyed by that adulterer and Leng Xiner—every one of them died within a few years. Same goes for her parents.]
[Oh right, I remember now. The seventh brother is not only a top celebrity but also the boss of the largest entertainment company in the country. In the end, he was sold off by that adulterer and Leng Xiner to some foreign country, forced into humiliation, and died of AIDS after only one and a half years.]
[Tch! She really is a jinx. Anyone who gets close to her ends badly. No wonder in my past life I had to collect and bury the bodies of all seven brothers and her clueless parents!]
What?!!
Leng Bingning felt as if her heart shattered in an instant. Fear and sorrow filled her eyes. If Zhu Tianfan hadn’t been there, she might have collapsed on the spot.
Her seven brothers and her parents were the ones who loved and supported her the most.
And now she was hearing that, in the future, because of her, an adulterer working together with Leng Xiner would destroy them all—every one of them dying tragic deaths within a few years.
No… that could never be allowed to happen!
She had to find out who the adulterer was and make both him and Leng Xiner suffer a fate worse than death.
Leng Bingning quickly calmed herself down.
If she wanted to uncover the adulterer’s identity, she had to keep Zhu Tianfan by her side.
“Get up. Come to work with me.”
Without waiting for his reaction, she cast him a cold glance and walked straight into the bathroom to wash up.
“Alright… wife…”
Zhu Tianfan could only respond weakly.
Even as her smooth, fair legs moved in front of him, he had no interest in looking.
To be honest, he didn’t want to go to her company at all. Even if he went, he would just end up sitting in the reception area downstairs.
Leng Bingning’s domineering personality at work was extremely strict. Even though he was her husband, he wasn’t allowed to step into her office.
[Tch! What’s the point of dragging me to work? I’ll just be sitting in the reception area anyway!]
[Why hasn’t she brought up divorce yet today? Could it be she really wants me to take responsibility after last night? Damn it, she’s shameless!]
[Maybe I should take out the divorce agreement first. The moment she agrees, I’ll run!]
[With 50 million, I’ll have five beauties take care of me in old age—one to cook, one to feed me fruit, one to give me massages, one to dance for me, and one to scroll videos for me. Then at night… we’ll all have fun together…]
Inside the bathroom, Leng Bingning smashed yet another large, exquisite mirror in fury.
This useless husband wasn’t even human.
He was a lust-driven beast.
