Two exposed bodies writhed violently in the darkness, their breaths growing more and more hurried...
"When are you going to come clean with her?" The first question from Nie Xiaoyu after the calm.
Gu Tianye kept his eyes closed and did not answer, as if still immersed in the indescribable pleasure from just moments ago.
When he calmed down and returned to reality, he was unwilling to discuss the topic.
"What's wrong? Not talking anymore? Didn't you say you wanted to marry me when we were in bed just now? Now that you've taken advantage, you don't want to acknowledge it?" Nie Xiaoyu's face fell.
He frowned, feeling somewhat displeased. Did she really see everything as a transaction?
After being with Nie Xiaoyu for three months, Gu Tianye realized that being loved by a woman was quite troublesome. Her once understanding nature had changed; now she was clingy and unreasonable, no longer as charming as before.
To be honest, he found it hard to bring up the topic of divorce with Qi Luoling. Just like yesterday morning, he ultimately couldn't say those words.
What reason could he give for a divorce? After all, Qi Luoling hadn't done anything wrong. They had been together for so many years; their intimacy felt like part of his own body, connected like bones and tendons. Even if he broke a bone, it would still be connected by sinew.
"I already told you, wait for a while," Gu Tianye said impatiently.
"Why wait?" Nie Xiaoyu pressed on, refusing to back down.
"Her health has been poor lately. I don't want to provoke her at this time; I'm afraid it might lead to something serious." He gave a perfunctory answer, wanting to end the topic quickly.
"You pity her; don't you pity me?" Nie Xiaoyu suddenly changed her tone, leaning closer to his face with a pitiful expression, her slender fingers tracing circles on his strong chest.
He remained silent, picking up the water cup in front of the bed and drinking as if he were extremely thirsty.
Seeing him unresponsive, her tender expression froze. But after a few seconds, she smiled again. "Gu Tianye, if you don't marry me, I'll cause a scene in the hospital director's office! I'll ruin your reputation! If you want peace, you must do as I say."
"Nie Xiaoyu, you should know that I dislike being threatened and intimidated the most. Besides, I can deny everything; who would believe you?" His expression changed as his tone grew firm.
"What's wrong? Don't you believe me? I still have the evidence. Just wait, I'll show you my evidence and see what you have to say."
After saying that, she rolled out of bed and ran naked to the wardrobe in the bedroom. From a hidden corner of the wardrobe, she quickly pulled out a towel and pointed at the stains on it, saying, "This is what you left behind. Take a good look, Gu Tianye. This can completely prove our relationship before."
He felt a chill run down his back and was momentarily speechless. The woman in front of him felt so unfamiliar, as if he had never known her.
She smiled triumphantly, "So? You should hurry up and divorce her and marry me." Then she added gently, "I will love you for a lifetime and treat you well. I will definitely be better to you than Qi Luoling. Isn't she just a sickly person? Can she give you this much pleasure in bed? She can't even keep a child; what kind of woman is she?"
The more she spoke, the more engrossed she became, like giving a vivid speech.
Gu Tianye interrupted her harshly, "At least she has one thing better than you; she's not as scheming as you are and is kinder. Today I realized that I really underestimated you. And if you want to make a scene, go ahead. Aren't you just the despicable character in an affair? Who's embarrassing here, me or you? This world is indeed more forgiving to men."
These words deeply pierced her heart. Nie Xiaoyu coldly smiled; since it was all out in the open, there was no need for restraint: "So what if I'm scheming? She has this comfortable life; why can't I have it? Why should I live beneath others? I also want to live well, just like her, with a beautiful house and nice clothes, swiping my card without worry when shopping until the cashier's eyes shine with envy; when I go back to my hometown, I want to hold my head high and feel proud."
Every word she said was so aggressive.
Then she scoffed with a huff, revealing her trump card: "Why do you look down on me? Just because I'm from the countryside? Just because my family is poor? My childhood has already faded away in poverty; I can't let my youth and future life remain in such destitution. Let me tell you, marrying me is not up to you. By the way, you're too careless; how could you misplace such an important notebook?"
"What notebook?" His heart jolted, and his expression became somewhat flustered.
"The black leather notebook. I saw it in the right drawer of your office that day. You forgot to lock it. Don't say I didn't think of you; I was worried that you might accidentally lose it one day, so I took pictures of everything for you. And I even locked the drawer for you."
His heart dropped like it fell into an ice cellar. If that notebook were exposed, it would not only ruin his career but could also land him in prison for several years.
This woman is too terrifying! A woman with such cunning—can I dare to want her? Moreover, can I trade my marriage for this? Can I share a bed with a woman who holds my weakness?
What should he do? The best course of action right now was to stabilize her first, buy some time, and think of a way slowly.
With that thought in mind, his tone softened, "You called me over immediately; didn't I come? If I don't love you, would I rush over so eagerly? Don't be anxious; just give me some time. I promise not to keep you waiting too long."
"That's right." She sweetly nodded and covered his lips with her warm ones.
He felt a bit nauseous, but still pretended to respond to her enthusiastically.
"Dear, I know you are a kind and devoted person. If you find it difficult to handle this matter personally due to our past marital bond, let me take care of it." Her eyes revealed a fierce glint.
This was truly something she should not get involved in. He had thought she was a simple girl, but today it seemed she had hidden her true self very well. He had been deceived by her facade for so long. Given her nature, he couldn't imagine the trouble she might cause.
"No need, no need. I... I can handle this myself. I'll confront her tomorrow."
At that moment, his phone rang. It was a call from the hospital.
"Xiao Liu, didn't I tell you? I'm on leave today and not working. I'll deal with anything tomorrow." He said impatiently, his mood souring as his expression darkened.
The other party spoke urgently.
His expression changed drastically, and he quickly said, "I'll be there right away."
"Why are you in such a rush? What's going on?" She asked unhappily, thinking about how he had just arrived and was already leaving again.
"Something... something happened at home." Without waiting for her to react, he hurriedly put on his clothes and left her house.
