Ye Yan looked like an eggplant hit by frost, wilted. As soon as he returned, everyone noticed that something was wrong with him.
Ye Lan went upstairs and knocked on the door, but he didn't answer.
She pushed the door open and saw Ye Yan in the room, holding a sandbag and punching it. Over and over again, as if to vent. Ye Lan walked closer and saw a photo on the sandbag. She was familiar with the photo, which was the one Ye Yan had hung on the dartboard before. But now it was different.
"Brother, you lied to me!" Ye Lan pulled out the photo, held it in front of him and took a look at it.
Ye Yan ignored her, took off his boxing gloves while panting and threw them aside.
"Didn't you say she was as ugly as a witch? What's ugly about her?" Ye Lan pointed at Shu Nian, who used to have a missing head in the photo but is now intact.
"You're ugly everywhere!" Ye Yan was annoyed. He snatched the photo back and put it in the drawer.
"Did you eat explosives today?" Ye Lan looked at him inquiringly, "Mom asked me to come up and call you to eat."
"No, my stomach hurts." He was so angry that his stomach hurt. Not only his stomach hurt, but he hurt everywhere. Ye Yan ignored Ye Lan, took off his white casual T-shirt and threw it on the ground, then went into the bathroom.
As the cold water rushed down, he leaned against the wall with one arm, breathing heavily. His usually proud eyes gradually showed a bit of frustration and dejection.
My chest feels so stuffy that I can hardly breathe.
She is actually married!
If he had known this, he would rather not have met her here!

Two days later.
Shu Nian took the bus home from the hospital.
As soon as I opened the door, the nanny was already at the door, "Madam, Mr. Xiang is back."
Xiang Muyang is back from a business trip
Shu Nian said "Oh" and went in with her bag. She went straight to her room, put her bag aside, took off her clothes, and changed into home clothes. The phone in her bag kept ringing, so she changed her clothes and took out the phone to take a look.
It's late again.
She didn't save his number, but she recognized it. She didn't answer it, but just let it ring. This was the third time he had called in the past two days.
"Who called you? Why didn't you listen?" A voice came from the door, with a questioning tone.
Shu Nian looked up and found that Xiang Muyang had opened the door and walked in at some point, staring at her with cold eyes, like a husband catching his wife cheating on him.
"No one." Shu Nian muted her phone and prepared to put it in her bag. However, Xiang Muyang was faster than her and had already taken the phone.
Shu Nian frowned, his expression cold, "Give it to me."
The phone stopped ringing. Xiang Muyang only saw a string of unfamiliar numbers on the screen, but he didn't call it. He just laughed sarcastically, "What's the matter? Madam Xiang, is someone pursuing you now?"
"Mr. Xiang has someone chasing him, but you can't deny Mrs. Xiang someone chasing her, right?" Shu Nian sarcastically replied, pulling the phone away from his hand. Her eyes swept across Xiang Muyang, and she saw the red lipstick marks on his shirt. In the two years since they got married, he has always been surrounded by women. He always smelled of someone else's perfume or red lipstick marks.
Xiang Muyang's eyes darkened, and a hint of coldness flashed across them. He reached out and pulled Shu Nian over.
As soon as she got close to the man, Shu Nian's breathing became tense, and every part of her body was stiff. She clenched her fists and pressed them against the man's chest, and heard Xiang Muyang speak coldly: "Does the other party know that you are actually frigid? Do they know that even men can't touch your body? Do they also know that you have been messing around with other men since you were 18, and that you had a fallopian tube cut after an ectopic pregnancy, and it is very likely that you will never have the chance to be a mother again in this life?! Or are you pretending to be pure in front of these men like you did to me back then?"
Shu Nian's face turned pale. Xiang Muyang's words were like a giant needle that pierced her most painful place, causing her body to tremble violently. Her stubborn eyes showed more coldness, "Xiang Muyang, I used to hate what happened when I was 18 years old. But after meeting you, I am so glad that I gave my innocence to others early on. Otherwise, if I really gave myself to someone like you, how pity it would be!"
Xiang Muyang's expression changed several times. He gritted his teeth and almost crushed her hand. "Shu Nian, don't keep provoking me just because I love you!"
"Love?" Shu Nian smiled, "Mr. Xiang, I really can't bear your love."
Xiang Muyang looked at her with complicated eyes. Suddenly, he pinched her chin and leaned over to kiss her.
Shu Nian took a step back suddenly, avoiding his lips. But the next moment, she was hugged tightly by him. Xiang Muyang held her tightly with both hands, so tightly that if he let her go, she would disappear, "Niannian..."
He called softly. His gentle tone was completely different from before, as if he was a completely different person.
"Can't you just try to accept me? Even try?"
Shu Nian was exhausted, even numb. "Didn't I give you a chance? If you can't accept me like this, don't force it. If you agree, why don't we..."
Before Shu Nian could even utter the words "divorce", Xiang Muyang had already shouted, "Don't even think about it! Shu Nian, when you were desperate, you pulled me in as a lifeline, and now that your father has passed the critical period, you want to kick me out and divorce me. I tell you, it's impossible! I, Xiang Muyang, want you! Even if I think you are dirty and can't have children, I will never divorce you! We will torture each other like this forever, for the rest of our lives!"
—
He slammed the door and left Xiang Muyang.
Shu Nian sat stiffly on the bed. Once the door closed, the indifference on his face gradually faded away, and what surged up was a feeling of desolation and sadness.
As soon as she blinked her eyelashes, tears fell out of her eye sockets.
When Xiang Muyang was pursuing her madly, he was modest, gentlemanly and friendly.
The psychological shadow made her afraid to have too much contact with men. She kept dodging his kisses. He didn't care at all and said he was willing to have a platonic relationship.
At that time, she was in a dark situation, and she thought she had found a tolerant man who was willing to accommodate her, accept her, and give her time to slowly adjust. So when he proposed to her, she nodded.
On the wedding night, she confessed to him with trust and honesty what happened when she was 18. She hoped that he could give her some time. She also had a plan to adjust herself, even see a psychologist, and start a new life of her own.
However, she didn't expect that from the moment she confessed, the scars in her heart were torn more and more by him, and their marriage turned into a complete tragedy.
Her past always made him feel uncomfortable. This man cared about the fact that she had slept with someone else, and even more so that she had a child with another man...
Therefore, from the first night until now, the couple had never slept together. Shu Nian was now very grateful for this.
