It was a pale red lipstick mark, but to Zhang Xinlan, it was so glaring!

Even when she saw this lip mark, her body and mind had already numbed!

Sorrow, melancholy, loss, pain… Numerous emotions surged to her heart, and Zhang Xinlan nearly lost control, about to scream out in madness.

However, Zhang Xinlan held back, because it was meaningless.

What was meant to happen had already happened, and no matter how sad she was, she could not reverse everything.

Zhang Xinlan lay in Ye Chen's embrace, her face full of desolation, her heart full of grief.

At that moment, her heart was shattered!

Ye Chen had been gone all day, claiming that he was catching a criminal—it was simply an excuse!

Just, Zhang Xinlan couldn't understand; why would Ye Chen do this? They clearly loved each other so much, so why did Ye Chen betray her? And she had already forgiven him once, was she to forgive him a second time?

Zhang Xinlan felt she had done well enough, she had forgiven Ye Chen's previous mistakes, why would he still do this?

Ye Chen hadn't noticed Zhang Xinlan's loss, because he had already gotten what he wished for.

"Xinlan, I love you, I'll love you for a lifetime, through thick and thin!" finally, Ye Chen said, extremely satisfied.

"Are we good now?" Zhang Xinlan asked coldly, revealing an indifferent demeanor.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Chen still hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.

"I'm going to take a shower in my room, you should eat something and rest early!" Zhang Xinlan left straight away, avoiding further entanglement with Ye Chen.

"Strange!"

Zhang Xinlan's behavior was too abnormal, causing Ye Chen to frown.

Even though Zhang Xinlan walked away coldly, Ye Chen still felt a strong sense of accomplishment in his heart.

After the shower, Zhang Xinlan lay in bed resting, not wanting Liu Shihua to see through her.

"Sister Xinlan, what's wrong?" Liu Shihua asked curiously, lying on the edge of the bed.

Zhang Xinlan's state was very abnormal; since entering the room, she hadn't said a single word, this was unscientific!

"I'm really tired today, I want to go to sleep early!" Zhang Xinlan's tone was natural, not revealing any flaws. She didn't want Liu Shihua to know that she had been intimate with Ye Chen.

"Oh!" Liu Shihua nodded.

Zhang Xinlan's work was busy, so feeling tired was normal.

However, what Liu Shihua would never guess was that Zhang Xinlan's fatigue wasn't because of her work, but because of Ye Chen! And, Liu Shihua couldn't even dream that Zhang Xinlan would, in the kitchen, give herself away.

Liu Shihua looked at Zhang Xinlan, with some words on the tip of her tongue, but then she forcibly held them back.

After a long silence, Liu Shihua finally spoke, "Sister Xinlan, I want to tell you something. It's about Ye Chen!"

Liu Shihua had finally mustered the courage to expose Ye Chen's misdeed, but her call received no response from Zhang Xinlan.

"Sister Xinlan? Sister Xinlan?"

Liu Shihua gently pushed Zhang Xinlan, only to realize that she had already fallen asleep peacefully.

"How could this happen!"

Ye Chen looked at himself in the mirror, and although the lipstick mark on his neck was pronounced, it was extremely jarring.

Seeing the faint lipstick mark, Ye Chen was stunned as if struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded.

The lipstick mark should have been left by Qin Lan, because she wore lipstick, precisely this color!

After getting what he wanted, Zhang Xinlan hadn't shown weakness, but became somewhat cold and numb. Ye Chen couldn't understand why Zhang Xinlan wasn't happy. But when he saw the lipstick mark, his mind suddenly cleared.

"This is really a thorny issue!" Ye Chen thought he was a real bastard.

…

The next day.

Ye Chen got up bright and early, washed up, and was planning to wait in the living room for Zhang Xinlan to explain everything properly.

Moreover, the events of yesterday left him feeling guilty, and he hadn't slept well all night.

Ye Chen decided to genuinely make amends, to start anew and be a better man!

However, to his surprise, he was up early, but Zhang Xinlan was up even earlier!

When Ye Chen saw Zhang Xinlan, she was busy in the kitchen. Instantly, Ye Chen approached to offer some help.

"Xinlan, what are you doing?" Ye Chen asked.

"Mopping the floor!" Zhang Xinlan responded coldly. She wasn't happy, nor angry, just somewhat numb.

Ye Chen fell silent. What Zhang Xinlan was doing, he had already seen.

There were many bloodstains on the kitchen floor, and Zhang Xinlan was wiping them, trying to erase the marks.

Seeing Zhang Xinlan's indifference, Ye Chen felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"Xinlan, I want to explain about yesterday," Ye Chen said.

"Yesterday?" Zhang Xinlan, squatting on the ground, stopped wiping and looked up at Ye Chen. "Did you not have fun yesterday?"

Ye Chen: "..."

"Get lost, don't get in the way of my cleaning!" Zhang Xinlan said coldly.

"Let me help you!" Ye Chen wanted to help.

"No need!" Zhang Xinlan mercilessly refused.

Ye Chen felt a bit awkward; the relationship between the two of them, in that instant, became extremely estranged.

"Xinlan, don't misunderstand, I really didn't do anything yesterday!" Ye Chen tried to explain.

"Didn't do anything?" Zhang Xinlan laughed, her laughter trembling like blossom branches. "Then how do you explain the bloodstains on the floor, was it me who did that?"

Ye Chen was disheveled in the wind, he hadn't expected Zhang Xinlan to actually make a cold joke at his expense.

"I'm talking about the lipstick mark on my neck!" Ye Chen said.

"Are you trying to say, you were with another woman and did nothing?" Zhang Xinlan finished wiping the blood off the floor and looked up at Ye Chen to ask.

"Yes, that's right!" Ye Chen honestly nodded.

"Go to hell!" Zhang Xinlan threw the rag in Ye Chen's face. "You're my boyfriend, and you go looking for other women, is that doing nothing?!"

Ye Chen removed the rag from his face; he hated it most when someone cursed his mother, those who had spoken ill of his mother were basically all dead. However, even if Zhang Xinlan cursed his ancestors eighteen generations back, Ye Chen would not dare retaliate; after all, which wife doesn't bicker with her mother-in-law?

Ye Chen believed that his mother, in the netherworld, would certainly understand him!

"My dear wife, I was wrong about yesterday's incident, and I promise I won't make such mistakes again in the future!" Ye Chen, adhering to the policy that confession leads to leniency and resistance to strictness, generously admitted his own behavioral fault.

"You're not wrong, I am, for falling in love with a jerk like you!" Zhang Xinlan said coldly.

No matter what, Zhang Xinlan had stopped believing in Ye Chen, this man had truly broken her heart.

"So what do you want to do, we're already together, do you really want to break up with me?" Ye Chen said pitifully.

"Heh, I'll just consider it a bad dream!" Zhang Xinlan sneered as if she did not care at all about losing her chastity.

"Is there a ghost in the world as handsome as me?" Ye Chen said darkly.

"..."

Zhang Xinlan couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ye Chen; this man really had no shame.

"That lipstick mark is not like what you think, I haven't done anything to wrong you!" Ye Chen protested. "Do I look like someone who flirts with everybody?!"

"Yes!" Zhang Xinlan stared coldly at Ye Chen. "The evidence is conclusive, and you're still here making excuses, I find you're truly shameless. I feel sorry for the owner of that lipstick mark, she must have been blind to let you have your way!"

"I was wrong!" Ye Chen apologized again solemnly.

"Ha ha!" Zhang Xinlan sneered, her detachment was quite clear.

"..."

"Honey, I really do know that I was wrong!" Ye Chen said.

"Ha ha!" Zhang Xinlan sneered. "Stop bothering me. You've wounded me so deeply, can I just have some peace?"

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" Ye Chen apologized, he felt that a good man should apologize to his wife. "If you think I've made you angry, then slap me to vent your anger!"

"Slap!" Zhang Xinlan swung her hand and a slap rang out, crisp!

The fiery pain made Ye Chen's mouth twitch, but he didn't want to lose his dignity as a man, and said, "Good wife, if you still feel that's not enough, then give me another slap!"

"Slap!" Zhang Xinlan delivered another slap.

"Good wife, if you truly feel that's still not enough to relieve your anger, then I can take more!" Ye Chen declared grandly.

"Slap!"

Another crisp sound, Zhang Xinlan slapped Ye Chen again without any politeness.
