C10 The Couple

After a long day at work, Jiang Xinyue returned home, exhausted from standing all day. Her ankles ached, and her whole body felt uncomfortable. But she had no choice; she needed to work hard to provide a stable environment for her baby.

As she opened the door, she noticed Fu Shaochen's shoes by the entrance and was surprised he was home so early. Then, her eyes caught a pair of red high heels. Without a word, she walked to the bedroom, finding the door tightly shut. She opened it to a scene she would never forget.

Fu Shaochen lay on the bed in a bathrobe, with a woman beside him, wearing nothing. Her skin was marked with red spots. The room was filled with a scent that left no doubt about what had happened. Clothes were strewn across the floor, including Fu Shaochen's underwear—the ones she had bought for him.

Jiang Xinyue clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. How could he bring another woman into their bed? How could he do this?

When Fu Shaochen awoke, he looked confused. His head spun, and he felt disoriented. Earlier that afternoon, Ye Qingqing had called, saying she had found a great bottle of wine and invited him to try it.

He tasted it, and the flavor was indeed rich and full-bodied, absolutely delicious.

When he woke up, he found himself in his own bed, with a woman in his arms, soft and delicate. He had no idea what had happened, and the woman, blushing, said, "You're amazing, Shaochen!"

He couldn't understand why he had made such a careless mistake, but he truly had no recollection of anything. Seeing the icy expression on Xinyue's face, he panicked, instinctively wanting to explain, but no words came out.

"Shaochen, you make me sick!" Xinyue trembled with anger. Why did he keep hurting her over and over? Taking advantage of her feelings for him, trampling all over her heart.

Xinyue ran out, unable to bear it any longer, and checked into a random motel. Her heart was bleeding; she never expected Shaochen to do something so disgusting, bringing another woman into their home, into their bed. The thought made her nauseous, and she threw up.

Meanwhile, in the house, the woman looked around with a satisfied smile. In reality, nothing had happened; it was all her doing, setting things up to make Xinyue lose hope.

Yesterday, when she went to buy a diamond ring, she saw Shaochen dismiss her as unreasonable for this woman, and it made her angry, followed by worry. Even though Shaochen loved her, he had been married to this woman for a year, spending every day together. She couldn't help but feel uneasy. What if Shaochen fell in love with this woman?

She wanted them to get divorced as soon as possible, to avoid any complications down the road. Last month, she met a flirtatious playboy and, in a moment of weakness, didn't take precautions. Now she's pregnant. This was the perfect opportunity to pin it on Shaochen, and she hatched a new plan.

"Shaochen, you'll take responsibility for this, right?" Ye Qingqing's face was streaked with tears, looking pitifully at Fu Shaochen, her hands wandering over him.

"Stop it, put your clothes back on," Fu Shaochen said, grabbing Ye Qingqing's hands to stop her roaming. "What's going on with us?"
