Xiang Wan was resigned.
The moment she heard that woman call him husband, and Lu Mingzhe didn't refute it, she was completely dead.
"Don't mention that accident to me, it's long over."
"In my line of work, the most important thing is my figure. Since your Lu family doesn't cherish it, why should I waste my figure..."
The anger in Lu Mingzhe's eyes gradually faded. Unconsciously, he also relaxed his grip. Xiang Wan's wrist dropped, and Tang Haichao immediately rushed over to pull her away.
Just as everyone was speculating about how he would retaliate wildly after standing up, he swayed and stood up, as if he had drunk too much.
His eyes were unfocused, his face was pale, and he turned towards the door with staggered, slow steps.
"Master, don't be afraid!"
Seeing him leave, his two disciples came to comfort Xiang Wan.
"If he dares to harass you again, tell us. We'll beat him up every time we see him!"
Lu Mingzhe returned to his private room in a daze.
He saw that several buttons on his shirt were torn off, his hair was messy, and there were two very obvious purple scuff marks on his left brow bone and cheek.
Fang Shuya was startled and rushed over to ask him what was wrong.
"Did you get into a fight with someone? In broad daylight, who laid hands on you? Is there no law anymore?"
"What kind of place is this? Is it a restaurant or a den of thieves? I'm going to report them! Husband, sit down first, I'll call them right now to get justice for you!"
Lu Mingzhe raised his hand expressionlessly and pressed it on hers, "Are you full?"
"Ah?"
"Are you full from the dishes ordered?"
"I... I was waiting for you to come back to eat together. I haven't touched anything yet."
"Let's pack them up and eat. I have something to tell you."
On the way, he drove with a stern face, and Fang Shuya swallowed back several times when she wanted to speak.
When they entered the room, the injury on his left brow bone had already swollen into a large lump. Fang Shuya put down her things and was about to find a doctor.
"I'll ask the hotel to arrange for a doctor to bandage you!"
"No need." Lu Mingzhe grabbed her, "Come in and sit. I have something to tell you."
Lu Mingzhe sat down on the sofa first. Before he could even say what happened, Fang Shuya threw herself into his arms and cried, tightly clutching the collar of his shirt.
"I know what's going on, I know what you're going to tell me. No, husband, don't be so cruel. Please, don't leave me..."
"It's related to that woman, isn't it? The moment I saw her today, I understood. Mom told me before we got married that you loved her, that you loved her very, very much..."
Lu Mingzhe had calmed down by now. He gently pushed Fang Shuya away from his chest and looked into her eyes.
"Since you already know everything, why are you still saying this? I'm sorry, Ya Ya. I thought..."
"It's futile to say anything now. It's all my fault. Let's get a divorce. I can announce the reason publicly, and it will all be my responsibility."
"The houses, cars, and all my assets are yours. I'm sorry."
Fang Shuya shook her head like a rattle drum.
"Why do you insist on divorcing me? I don't want to!"
"We've only been married for five months, and you've been very good to me. I've never thought of you as a bad person. Don't talk about yourself like that!"
"Everyone has their past. I can understand you. I'll give you time. I believe that as long as I treat you well, I can slowly enter your heart in the future."
"I don't want to give up on you. Please don't give up on me either, okay?"
Lu Mingzhe said with a pained expression, "I'm sorry, Ya Ya, I probably can't do it."
"You are very good, and I don't want to be so cold to you. When I married you, I sincerely wanted to have a good life, but..."
"We must divorce. Because in front of you, I may never be able to be a real man."
Fang Shuya knew what he meant.
They had been married for so long. Apart from occasional symbolic hugs and pats, Lu Mingzhe hadn't made any improper moves.
He was once a player who mingled with women, yet he had no interest in her.
Fang Shuya had been quite confused before, but today she understood.
"The reason you have no feelings for me now is because you haven't completely let her go. When you finally let go, I believe you will recover."
"I have faith in you. I also have faith in our marriage. I don't want to declare it impossible without even trying. Husband, please, give each other a chance. Shall we try?"
Since she already knew that his heart belonged to someone else, and she could still say such things, Lu Mingzhe felt even more indebted to her.
"This is very unfair to you."
"I'll decide if it's fair or not. As long as you live your life wholeheartedly with me from today onwards, I think I will always be worth it."
Her words made Lu Mingzhe, who had sunk to the bottom after being beaten by Xiang Wan, regain his confidence in life.
There were still people in this world who were willing to treat him sincerely.
Even if he was battered and bruised, worthless.
Fang Shuya was like an angel, giving him light when Lu Mingzhe was lost and helpless.
Since Xiang Wan was already with Tang Haichao, and there were no more ties between them, it might as well be letting go.
It was a mutual fulfillment.
Because of Xiang Wan's presence, Hangzhou was no longer a suitable place for a honeymoon.
Lu Mingzhe planned to get the Chinese medicine physiotherapy prescription from the old professor at the hospital and take Fang Shuya abroad in the afternoon.
From now on, they would stay far away from Hangzhou and never come back here.
The rain that had been falling for more than half a month finally stopped today. Fang Shuya waited in the car, while Lu Mingzhe had an appointment with the old professor and went directly upstairs to get the prescription.
He exited the elevator and walked past one office after another, heading straight to the end of the corridor.
However, as he passed by the door of a certain office, he unexpectedly heard Xiang Wan's name again.
"That's right, it's her, Xiang Wan, the account manager of Ai Chao Decoration Design Company!"
"That bitch, she took my benefits and immediately turned her back on me. Does she think I'm easy to bully! I have to teach her a lesson!"
"Pick whatever you want, find more faults and make them come back to rework it, make them work to death! If this woman doesn't kneel down and apologize to me, licking the soles of my feet, I won't let her off!"
"What? She's Tang Haichao's girlfriend? Impossible."
"She really is Tang Haichao's girlfriend. She accompanies him to drink all day, being touched by this one and that one. Can Tang Haichao tolerate that?"
"Besides, she has a little brat too."
"Born from some wild man, a premature baby. Her household registration couldn't even be processed, and I was the one who solved it for her..."
Lu Mingzhe's heart, which had just calmed down, was hit by a one-ton boulder with a "clang!"
Xiang Wan is now a business manager at Tang Haichao's company, responsible for accompanying clients for drinks every day?
She's not Tang Haichao's girlfriend?
She also has a premature daughter?
She also has a premature daughter!!
