She actually had a fling with the Pretty Boy she once looked down upon—one leg, two legs, three or four legs. How did this shocking situation come to be?
Zhen Xunhuan sat on a small stool, lost in thought. She needed to seriously consider her current predicament.
She was out of work—more precisely, she was too afraid to return to X.P. It would surely incite public outrage, right? Who knows if she'd even be able to go back if she tried; she simply didn't have the courage.
This directly led to their lack of income; it was tough living with only expenses and no earnings, especially since her man was a Pretty Boy who contributed nothing of value but pursued a high quality of life. Aside from his good looks and decent performance in bed, there were so many things about him that were disappointing!
How long could love survive without bread? Moreover, this love was stolen from someone else—Yue Wen was still Yue Tingting's man!
Zhen Xunhuan felt overwhelmed and had no idea what to do.
Should she just become a free-spirited woman and abandon Yue Wen to be with Murong Yu, living happily ever after together?
But would she feel guilty? Hmm, she would probably miss him too.
Zhen Xunhuan lacked the courage to deal with these issues and had been hiding at home like a turtle for quite some time until the "victim" came knocking.
When she opened the door and saw Yue Tingting standing outside, Zhen Xunhuan's first thought was to elope with Yue Wen. This time it would be a real elopement, escaping to a place where no one knew them!
She didn’t want to return Yue Wen to Yue Tingting, but could she really do that?
Zhen Xunhuan silently lowered her head as she opened the door, yet Yue Tingting showed no signs of anger: "Thank you for taking care of him during this time."
Thank you for what? He’s my man; taking care of him is only right!
Zhen Xunhuan wanted to say this, but she just didn’t have the guts.
Yue Tingting looked at Yue Wen and said, "You should go back."
She only spoke those words, and Zhen Xunhuan noticed a flicker in Yue Wen's eyes. Without asking anything, he followed Yue Tingting outside. Zhen Xunhuan quietly tugged at his sleeve, "You..."
Yue Wen was excited. "I’ll go back for a bit. You wait for me at home."
The Time Machine might be fixed; how could he not be excited?
Lies!
Would he really come back?
She had no confidence at all.
As the door closed, Zhen Xunhuan hurried to the window and saw Yue Tingting's luxury car parked incongruously beneath the shabby apartment building. Although Yue Wen was wearing a cheap shirt she had bought online, it did nothing to diminish his air of elegance.
They were from different worlds, weren't they? Zhen Xunhuan turned away, wallowing in self-pity.
But it was probably for the best that he left; she wouldn’t have to support a man for nothing. Indeed, raising a man was a privilege of the wealthy. She should focus on nurturing her own wallet instead; she wanted to make it as full as possible. Hmph, men were unreliable; what she loved was money!
"Can the Time Machine fit two people?" Yue Wen wandered in front of the massive machine. He didn’t want to leave Zhen Xunhuan alone; wouldn’t she cry if she couldn’t see him?
No, perhaps it would be him who cried, unable to endure the torment of longing.
Dr. Lin’s gaze remained fixed on the instruments at hand. "It’s still being improved; we might have to wait a bit longer."
He had been hired by Yue Tingting to research the Time Machine for five years now, and finally, there were some results.
He looked up at Yue Wen. "Have you ever thought that everything might change when we go back?"
He said, "In history, the Emperor Shunzhi died at the age of twenty-four."
Now, Yue Wen was exactly twenty-four.
"I will not die; I still have to marry Huan Huan properly."
Yue Wen smiled, but deep down, he wasn't so confident. If he really died, would Huan Huan be heartbroken? Suddenly, he wanted to know.
He lost his focus for a moment, and his hand accidentally triggered a mechanism. The Time Machine suddenly activated.
Dr. Lin shouted, "Yue Wen, get out quickly! It's dangerous!"
Yue Wen snapped back to reality, but his body was already enveloped in white light. "Huan Huan!"
He hadn't even seen Zhen Xunhuan!
His Huan Huan!
It was still that villa that made others envious and jealous. Zhen Xunhuan was struggling to climb over the wall while two security guards inside the fence were waiting for her with four police dogs.
Zhen Xunhuan smiled foolishly, feeling utterly embarrassed. She had come to her rival's home and got caught red-handed; she had no face to meet anyone!
"You’re late," Yue Tingting said leisurely while sipping tea. "He has already left."
Left?
Seeing Zhen Xunhuan's dazed expression, Yue Tingting couldn't help but laugh, "Have you really never known what kind of man you love?"
"Well, who says I love him..." It's not love, just a little bit of like!
"He doesn't belong to this era," Yue Tingting said. "Right now, he has just returned to his own time."
"Hey, don't try to fool me! Give Yue Wen back to me!" Zhen Xunhuan exclaimed anxiously.
How could he be from ancient times? What would happen to her if he went back? She had barely admitted that she liked him, and now he was leaving?
"Yue Tingting, give Yue Wen back to me!"
Her man had gone out and disappeared; this wasn't how it was supposed to be!
The two women leisurely sipped tea in the courtyard while Dr. Lin busied himself around them. The Time Machine was operating, its noise startlingly loud.
Suddenly, the sound stopped, and a figure emerged from the white light. Zhen Xunhuan rushed forward and threw herself into his arms. "You finally came back!"
Her Yue Wen was finally back by her side; she had almost given up waiting.
Unable to bear the gnawing pain of longing, she had planned to give up and follow Murong Yu to Singapore, but Yue Tingting convinced her to stay.
Yue Tingting said he would definitely return; she had waited for a year.
Zhen Xunhuan cried heartbrokenly but didn't forget to vent her frustration. She tugged at Yue Wen's collar. "You jerk! Who gave you permission to leave? You didn’t even say a word! What do you think you're doing? Playing mysterious? If you have the ability, don’t come back at all!"
Yue Wen could only respond with silence.
Is there something off?
“Yue Wen, let me tell you, it doesn't matter what your name was before, Aisin Gioro or whatever! No one cares about you now. From now on, whatever I say goes, and you are not allowed to argue! You can't just disappear whenever you want! You can't...”
Yue Wen stared at Zhen Xunhuan, his mouth agape in disbelief. What was going on? His innocent, adorable, easily toppled little Huan Huan seemed to have been possessed by Yue Tingting! How could this happen?
Yue Wen shielded Zhen Xunhuan behind him and questioned Yue Tingting, “What have you done to her?!”
This was too much! He wanted his old Zhen Xunhuan back!
“It was your Huan Huan who said that in order to avoid starving when you come back, she wants to learn business from me. After all, we are family now, so I’ll hand my business over to her in the future.”
“No way! I refuse!” Yue Wen shot back immediately.
Zhen Xunhuan hurriedly grabbed him. This fool—why would he turn down so much money?
Yue Wen gazed at Zhen Xunhuan with deep affection. “Wife, tell me, what’s more important to you: me or money?”
“Uh…” Couldn’t they avoid such a difficult choice? Zhen Xunhuan frowned.
Yue Wen felt despair wash over him. His wife had only been with Yue Tingting for a year and had already changed like this. He absolutely had to keep them apart from now on!
“Wife, let’s elope again!” This time they would definitely be untraceable!
“But…” Not having money would be really tough.
“Don’t worry! This time I brought back a lot of jewelry; it’s enough for us to live comfortably for the rest of our lives!”
In any case, he absolutely could not allow his beloved consort to become a female tyrant like Yue Tingting!
"Is that true?" Zhen Xunhuan exclaimed as she noticed the large bag next to the Time Machine. It turned out that the modified Time Machine could carry so much luggage!
Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she eagerly abandoned Yue Wen to open the package. She immediately gasped, "Yue... Yue Wen..."
Indeed, the Emperor was truly wealthy!
Yue Tingting watched her with satisfaction. "Huan Huan, let's test your skills. How much do you think these items are worth?"
"Okay!" Zhen Xunhuan replied, completely absorbed in playing with the antiques.
Yue Wen's mouth twitched; he felt as if he were witnessing his future wife transform into another Yue Tingting... It was too terrifying!
Without a second thought, Yue Wen grabbed Zhen Xunhuan and headed toward the Time Machine. "Forget it, let's go back together. I will make you a noble consort!"
Yue Tingting's financial tactics were far too powerful; his wife would eventually be corrupted by them!
Running away was not thorough enough; it would be better to just return!
