Ling Hanrui instantly caught Li Bin's meaning, a flush rising on her pale cheeks. She smiled shyly, saying, "Sure, as long as Wen Wan doesn't mind me intruding on you lovebirds. You're not worried I'll hog your Wen Wan, leaving you no chance to get cozy, are you?"
"No way! How could I mind? Hanrui, you're my dearest. I'd be thrilled if you came over to hang out," Wen Wan said, blushing seductively, her heart stirring with shame as she recalled last night's passion, secretly craving another hit of that thrilling pleasure.
All three were scheming, each with their own agenda. Li Bin and Ling Hanrui knew everything about last night, while Wen Wan was still in the dark, believing Ling Hanrui was too drunk to remember anything.
This created an ambiguous, peculiar atmosphere among them.
"Xiao Wan!! Xiao Wan!! Is Hanrui at our place? Her husband's here, come down quick!"
"Tianjiao! It's been ages since you and Hanrui came over to visit! You're staying for dinner today, no excuses!"
"Is Hanrui upstairs? Hanrui, let Auntie have a look! Xiao Wan said you're pregnant—how many months along?"
At that moment, Shen Han's shouts echoed from downstairs.
Hearing Cui Tianjiao had arrived, all three tensed up.
Ling Hanrui and Li Bin exchanged a glance, panic and guilt flashing in their eyes. Her sultry face flushed red, her delicate body trembling slightly.
The thought of last night's madness and her depraved fling with Li Bin filled Ling Hanrui with a reflexive wave of shameful guilt.
Her anger toward Cui Tianjiao had vanished. Now, she felt she'd betrayed her husband, overwhelmed with guilt, unsure how to face Cui Tianjiao.
Li Bin, meanwhile, was freaking out.
He'd fucked someone's wife, shot his cum inside her last night, and Ling Hanrui hadn't even cleaned up—his cum was probably still in her cunt.
With her husband showing up, Li Bin's guilt made him panic instinctively.
"Ai～～～Mom! Hanrui's up here! We're coming down!" Wen Wan called back with a soft moan, looking at the tense Ling Hanrui. "Hanrui, Tianjiao's probably here to apologize. Last night was just him being impulsive, saying things in anger. Don't take it too hard. Let's go down and see him, hear him out. If he's sincere and knows he was wrong, forgive him. You're pregnant, after all. Couples should talk things out, right?"
"I～～I don't want to～～I don't want to see him now! I'm too disappointed in him! Li Bin, go tell Cui Tianjiao I don't want to see him! Tell him to fuck off! I'll never step foot in his house again! Anyway, that house has nothing to do with me!" Ling Hanrui's words were tough, but her heart was racing.
Her heart pounded like a startled deer, her hands and feet trembling slightly.
"Hanrui, don't be like that. At least give Tianjiao a chance to apologize. If he's sincere and truly sorry, forgive him. If his attitude sucks and he doesn't get it, you can send him packing," Wen Wan continued patiently.
They say best friends push for breakups, not makeups, but the naive, kind Wen Wan genuinely wanted the best for Ling Hanrui, unable to bear seeing her fight with her husband while pregnant.
"No! No apology will do! He went too far yesterday! He treated me like that, so whatever I do to him is fair! Even ancient generals made three visits to win someone over! He ditched me like that, said such cruel things, and now expects me to go back just because he shows up? That'd make me, Ling Hanrui, too pathetic!" Ling Hanrui stubbornly refused, storming to the living room, plopping onto the couch, arms crossed, nervously peeking at the staircase.
"Hanrui! Hanrui!" At that moment, Cui Tianjiao bounded upstairs, calling her name eagerly.
Seeing Li Bin and Wen Wan at the staircase, he flashed an awkward, forced smile. "Li Bin, Wen Wan, Hanrui～～thanks for looking after Hanrui last night～～It's all my fault～～I was too irrational yesterday! Where's Hanrui now? Can I see her?"
Cui Tianjiao's tone carried a hint of pleading.
After a night to cool off, he'd regained his senses.
Ling Hanrui was his wife, pregnant with his child. No matter how angry he'd been, he shouldn't have left her alone. Filled with guilt and regret, he now acted humbly, his attitude sincere.
Watching Cui Tianjiao run upstairs with a fawning look, Li Bin suddenly felt an urge to laugh. Why did Cui Tianjiao now seem like he was wearing a green hat?
Still, guilt gnawed at him—he was panicking hard. Fucking someone's wife in front of them was nerve-wracking, though a small thrill of smugness crept in.
"Xiao Cui, you really went too far last night! Good thing we were there, or what if Hanrui, left alone on the street, ran into thugs or creeps? How could you ditch her and drive off? You really crossed the line this time!" Li Bin scolded in a mocking, sarcastic tone.
Cui Tianjiao used to flaunt his superiority in front of Wen Wan, showing off and lecturing Li Bin.
Now, Li Bin was ready to settle the score.
