This was a lethal question.
But Yan Hechuan answered without hesitation:
"I had Assistant Chen investigate the matter regarding Tang Yinyao and Du Jiashu. They went too far."
"Yueyue has been wronged."
He squeezed her palm, his misty eyes filled with heartache.
"I only hate that I didn't get to know you sooner."
Xia Liuyue reached out and poked the corner of his eye with her fingertip, saying, "But what if I were to dislike you for being blind?"
The corners of Yan Hechuan's lips, which had just been lifted, instantly drooped dejectedly.
With lowered eyes and a submissive demeanor, he said very humbly:
"Then I'll find someone who can see for Yueyue."
He was referring to Zhao Yunzhou.
Wow.
Xia Liuyue was even taken aback. Was he really that enlightened?
So, she curved her lips into a smiling grin.
"Have you forgotten, I still have a husband in name."
Yan Hechuan was very reluctant to mention Du Jiashu. He pursed his lips and said, "Yueyue, do you need a divorce lawyer?"
Xia Liuyue narrowed her eyes, staring at him for a good while.
Only then did she speak unhurriedly:
"Is this considered stealing someone's partner?"
Yan Hechuan pressed his lips together and said without changing his expression, "No. Yueyue was always mine."
Xia Liuyue shook her hand, which he was still holding. It had been so long, and there was no allergic reaction.
She suddenly felt like teasing him.
Leaning in slightly, her breath brushed against his earlobe as she lowered her voice:
"Oh? You are mine. As for whether I am yours, that still needs to be verified."
"H-how do we verify?" Yan Hechuan's throat bobbed nervously.
Suddenly, he was pushed down onto the sofa by Xia Liuyue, instantly flushing red.
Her warm breath traveled from his forehead down to the tip of his nose, and just as it was about to land on his lips, Yan Hechuan's breath hitched for a moment.
But then, a man's coughing sound suddenly came from a corner of the lounge.
"Who is it?" Yan Hechuan was somewhat displeased.
Who was the tactless person ruining their moment?
The man huddled in the corner raised his head, revealing a face flushed red from drunkenness, his handsome features tinged with melancholy.
Du Jiashu had only come here to sober up after drinking too much and had forgotten to close the lounge door.
He hadn't expected his wife and Yan Hechuan to come in not long after.
He listened drowsily to their conversation, until Xia Liuyue's bold move finally made him unable to bear it any longer, and he coughed.
Xia Liuyue gently patted Yan Hechuan's back and said, "It's Du Jiashu. Are you scared?"
"Scared..."
Before he could finish saying what he was scared of,
he never expected her to be so audacious. Right in front of Du Jiashu, she pressed her warm lips against his and whispered:
"Come on, let's try this round of desensitization training."
"Mmm."
In an instant, Yan Hechuan forgot about the other person in the lounge.
Holding her waist, as their lips and tongues met, he was like a clumsy student being guided.
Du Jiashu in the corner finally couldn't take it anymore. He rushed out and shouted loudly:
"Stop! Yan Hechuan, stop right now!"
"Don't! Liuyue is my wife!"
He sounded exactly like an incompetent and furious husband.
Yan Hechuan, however, didn't care at all, even kissing her more fervently.
It was Xia Liuyue who ended the kiss first. She lifted her head and cast an arrogant glance at Du Jiashu.
Slowly, she said:
"Didn't you always think I had so many past relationships, that I was a promiscuous woman?"
"Now, do you see?"
"Do you need me to demonstrate it again? Du Jiashu, hurry up and sign the divorce papers. After all, going through a lawsuit is quite a waste of time."
A wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips.
She showed no regard for Du Jiashu's dignity or face.
What were those things?
Better to trample them underfoot and crush them mercilessly.
A man who betrays true love doesn't deserve forgiveness in this lifetime.
Seeing the smile on her face, Du Jiashu felt a needle-like pain in his chest.
Didn't he clearly not like Xia Liuyue?
Then why did seeing her with Yan Hechuan stir up an uncontrollable rage within him?
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Why... why are you treating me like this?" He sounded like a heartbroken, tragic man.
Xia Liuyue cleanly and decisively tore off his pretense.
"Stop pretending. You think just because you didn't have physical contact with Tang Yinyao, emotional infidelity doesn't count as cheating?"
Du Jiashu's body stiffened abruptly.
He forced out a smile uglier than bitterness, then turned to Yan Hechuan on the sofa and said coldly:
"Mr. Yan, I've always respected you before. I never expected you to steal someone else's wife."
"Your moral character is corrupt. It's truly despicable."
Yan Hechuan, remarkably composed, said calmly, "I don't need your respect. I only need Yueyue."
Du Jiashu: "..." Furious!
It was the helpless feeling of punching cotton.
Rage surged in his heart. Yan Hechuan had kissed his wife right in front of him.
If he tolerated this any longer, he wouldn't be a man!
Even though Xia Liuyue had long proposed divorce and they were already processing the divorce agreement, to Du Jiashu, Xia Liuyue was still his possession.
He gradually clenched his fists.
Du Jiashu stepped forward, eyes wide with anger, and roared before swinging a punch.
"Don't blame me for hitting a blind man. You touched my woman."
But he overlooked that Yan Hechuan was a member of a boxing club.
The cause of his blindness was actually an accidental hit during a friendly match.
Although he couldn't see, his other senses were extremely sharp. He felt the gust of wind from the punch first, sidestepped slightly, and easily dodged it.
Immediately after, Yan Hechuan reacted swiftly and stood up.
He lifted a foot and accurately kicked Du Jiashu's knee.
Du Jiashu hissed in pain, his legs went weak, and he fell to the floor with a heavy "thud."
Seizing the opportunity, Yan Hechuan's hands clamped down like iron pincers, swiftly twisting Du Jiashu's arms behind his back and firmly restraining him.
"Daring to fight me, I admire your courage."
This line was a bit showy.
But managing to take down Du Jiashu while completely blind was undeniably somewhat cool.
Xia Liuyue watched appreciatively while picking up her phone to capture the MVP victory screen.
Du Jiashu also saw her recording with the phone, feeling both ashamed and miserable.
Still stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, he said:
"If I weren't drunk, I'd definitely have beaten you down today."
Xia Liuyue shook her head with a laugh, full of mockery:
"You can't even win a fight against a blind man, and you blame it on being drunk?"
"Du Jiashu, I told you, you're just bad. Oh, and also trash."
Footsteps sounded outside the lounge. Zhao Yunzhou curiously peeked in, seeing quite a few people inside.
"Huh? So lively here, Pretty Sister, Brother Yan, and..."
When his gaze fell on Du Jiashu, it turned distinctly unfriendly.
Gnashing his teeth, he said:
"And this husband who's worse than a pig or a dog."
