135: The hemp rope broke at the thinnest part, and Chen Fan was miserable.

Chen Fan hugged his shoulders, shivering from the cold, and raised his hand to knock on the door a few more times.

"Ruyun! It's me, I'm back!"

It wasn't until several minutes later that the lock clicked open.

Liu Ruyun, wearing a lace nightgown, had a slender waist and graceful curves, her face showing a look of panic.

"Husband? What happened to you! How did you become like this!"

Seeing his head, which was no different from a bald man's, and his haggard, unkempt face, Liu Ruyun was truly startled.

A foul smell suddenly assailed her nostrils, making her hands, which were about to help him, pause.

A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, but it was well-hidden.

She bit her lip and gently supported Chen Fan's arm.

Chen Fan was mentally exhausted and didn't notice Liu Ruyun's abnormality at all.

He stumbled into the kitchen, poured a full glass of water, and gulped it down.

Then, with a thud, he collapsed onto a chair, finally relaxing.

But as soon as he relaxed, an inexplicable sense of grievance suddenly welled up in his heart.

His eyes involuntarily became moist, and tears streamed down.

Finally, he lay on the dining table and began to sob uncontrollably.

Liu Ruyun stood by, flustered, her gaze constantly darting towards the bedroom, her heart anxious.

Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she stepped forward to help him.

"Husband, you must be tired. Let's go take a bath and get some good sleep. You can tell me anything that's bothering you."

Chen Fan's shoulders twitched continuously, and he was numbly helped up and walked towards the bathroom.

Passing by his daughter's room, Chen Fan paused his sadness and froze for a moment.

"...Where's Linlin?"

"Uh... Linlin said she missed her grandma, so I sent her to my mom's place..." Liu Ruyun quickly replied.

Chen Fan's mind was a mess, and he nodded without thinking much.

But after only two steps, he stopped again at the bedroom door.

His nose twitched twice, and his brows furrowed slightly.

There seemed to be a familiar scent in the air, warm and hot.

Liu Ruyun's heart instantly leaped to her throat, and she asked, feigning calmness.

"Husband, what's wrong? Don't stop."

Chen Fan fell silent.

A moment later, he pointed to the water heater in the bathroom and said, "...The water heater isn't on."

Liu Ruyun slapped her forehead, realizing she had forgotten about that!

They usually used the bathroom in the bedroom, so the water heater outside wasn't often turned on.

"Oh, my head, I'll turn it on for you right now. It'll be ready in a little while, don't move around too much, don't get dirt on the walls."

Liu Ruyun didn't forget to instruct him loudly as she walked into the bathroom and reached out to turn on the water heater.

Clang!

The sound of the door opening came from behind her, and Liu Ruyun shivered uncontrollably.

She turned around abruptly and saw that Chen Fan had already opened the door and entered the bedroom!

"Oh no, I told you not to wander around, don't make a mess!"

Liu Ruyun rushed into the bedroom like the wind, blocking his path, trying to push him out with a panicked expression.

But Chen Fan, with an unknown surge of strength, braced himself against the door frame and remained unmoving.

Smelling the lingering scent in the bedroom, he widened his eyes and looked at Liu Ruyun in disbelief.

"Ruyun, you..."

He felt a burst of anger ignite in his chest, burning fiercely!

Rage shot straight to his head!

"I've been missing for days, suffering torment, and you actually cheated on me!"

"Bitch!"

Slap!

He slapped Liu Ruyun across the face in a fit of rage, knocking her to the ground, her cheek instantly turning red.

Her strap slipped, revealing a large expanse of fair skin.

Liu Ruyun, however, had no mind to care, covering her face and sobbing, remaining silent.

Seeing that the affair was exposed, Wang Kun, who was hiding in the closet, burst out with a crash.

Enemies meeting, their eyes turned red with fury. Chen Fan recognized him at a glance.

It was Kun Ge, Peerless from the game, and a colleague from his company in real life.

He actually moved into his home and slept with his wife while he was missing for days!

"Wang Kun! I'll kill you!"

Chen Fan's eyes were bloodshot, and with his current appearance, he looked like an old madman, roaring as he pounced!

The two wrestled in a tangled mess, clanging and banging.

Wang Kun was tall and strong, already having the upper hand.

Coupled with Chen Fan's weakened state after days of torment, he quickly lost the fight, pinned to the ground by Wang Kun, unable to move, raging helplessly.

"Damn you, Wang Kun, you just wait!"

"Liu Ruyun, you slut, you dog and bitch! I'll kill both of you sooner or later!"

Wang Kun twisted his arm, taunting him gleefully.

"You're useless, don't blame others. You probably haven't heard her 'take off' in all these years, hahahaha!"

"I heard it last night though..."

Wang Kun leaned down and mocked him in his ear.

"...Your wife's screams were truly... tsk tsk tsk... indescribable..."

"Why are you saying all this, hurry up and leave!"

Liu Ruyun struggled to get up and pulled his arm, trying to separate them.

It seemed Wang Kun's words had shattered Chen Fan's spirit. He no longer struggled or roared, lying on the ground like a pile of mud.

Wang Kun spat at him, then grabbed Liu Ruyun's arm and walked out.

Liu Ruyun still wanted to resist and stay, but Wang Kun's two sentences left her speechless.

"Do you think he'll forgive you? Don't dream about it."

"Find a time to get divorced, come with me, and I'll make sure you live a good life, let's go!"

Liu Ruyun pursed her lips, a struggle flashing in her eyes.

But now, it seemed this was the only path left...

There was no turning back...

As she left, she turned back one last time to look at Chen Fan, and Chen Fan was also looking at her.

Their gazes met, and then collapsed with a crash...

Thud!

The door closed!

In the empty house, he was the only one left lying on the ground...

Helpless, bewildered, utterly despairing.

He didn't know how much time had passed...

He wanted to get up, but his palm pressed against something...

It seemed to be...

Damn it...

His last shred of dignity was gradually shattering...

......

"Wow! So delicious!"

In the villa, Xiao Lu tasted a piece of baked cake and jumped up and down happily!

Chen Beixuan scooped some into his mouth, his eyes also lighting up.

"Hmph, this taste is good enough to open a shop!"

Zhou Xiuya was a little embarrassed by the praise, she tucked her hair back and smiled.

"Is it that exaggerated? Let me taste it."

"Hmm... It really tastes much better than before..."

She took a bite, smacking her lips.

It was good before too, but not as delicious as today.

This time was clearly an exceptional performance.

"If you like it, eat more. Auntie will make it for you again in the future."

Zhou Xiuya reached out and gently tapped Xiao Lu's nose, smiling tenderly.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie, Hehehe."

Xiao Lu bared her teeth and laughed like silver bells, the scene was heartwarming.

After breakfast, everyone went about their business.

However, Chen Beixuan received a somewhat unexpected call.

"You want to divorce Chen Fan?"

"Heh, that's your business, it has nothing to do with me."

"What does his life or death have to do with me? Don't call me again!"

Beep beep beep...

Hanging up the phone, Chen Beixuan looked out the window thoughtfully.

Autumn had arrived.

The autumn wind rustled the yellowing leaves, blowing through the window and caressing him.

One word!

Refreshing!
