"Yes, yes, yes! It's all my fault. I was too impulsive, too irrational yesterday! Thank you for taking care of Hanrui! Thank you, Li Bin! I'll treat you both to dinner soon to show my gratitude!" Cui Tianjiao fawned with a sincere, apologetic smile, groveling to Li Bin.
Hah, last night Li Bin had stirred the flames and fucked the guy's wife, and now, this idiot Cui Tianjiao was thanking him.
Li Bin's panic and tension melted away, replaced by a wicked sense of pride and smugness. Seeing Cui Tianjiao act like a simping lapdog, he couldn't help but feel triumphant.
"Alright, alright, Tianjiao, come on up. Apologize properly to Hanrui. If you're sincere, she's not unreasonable," Wen Wan, playing peacemaker, said kindly, beckoning Cui Tianjiao.
"No way he's coming up!! Didn't he say he didn't want me at his place anymore? Didn't he tell me to live with you guys? Fine, I'll do what he said and stay with you! So why's he here now? Tell him to fuck off!!" Ling Hanrui, unrelenting, crossed her arms and shouted angrily, full of bratty defiance.
"Hanrui!! I'm sorry!! Hanrui! My dear, I was wrong! Listen to me, please forgive me!" Hearing her voice, Cui Tianjiao shamelessly climbed the stairs, pleading humbly as he reached the living room, standing at a distance, softly begging.
Seeing Cui Tianjiao, Ling Hanrui's heart raced with panic. She stole a glance at Li Bin, then masked her guilt and nerves with a brash attitude, snapping at Cui Tianjiao, "What's the point of saying this now? Where was this when you ditched me last night? I waited for you to come back, but you didn't! It's too late now! I'm so done with you! A man like you doesn't deserve me bearing your kid or spending my life with you! Get out! We're getting divorced tomorrow!"
Seeing her evasive, panicked eyes and forced bravado, Li Bin secretly guessed her thoughts. Women, when guilty and caught, often act unreasonably, making excuses to seem tough and willful.
It was to hide their guilt and fear.
Ling Hanrui didn't want to see Cui Tianjiao—not because she was still mad about yesterday, but because she'd cheated last night, doing something to betray him. Unable to face him, she was throwing a tantrum to dodge him, seeking some psychological comfort.
The more Cui Tianjiao groveled and begged, the guiltier Ling Hanrui felt, the more sinful she saw herself.
To vent that guilt and justify her wrongs, she'd act even more unreasonable, demanding more from Cui Tianjiao.
She knew she'd wronged him, knew she'd betrayed him, but by acting out, she could convince herself she was right, that it was all his fault, shifting the blame to her husband.
That way, her guilt and sin turned into a sense of revenge.
"Hah, that's women—shameless women～～" Li Bin cursed inwardly, secretly glad he was the one cuckolding, not the cuckold.
"No!! Please don't! Hanrui! I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! I thought all night, I get it now! You said yesterday, I'll do whatever you want! From now on, I'll listen to you! How about this—we'll go to the property registry today, transfer my parents' house to our names, yours and mine! I'll hand over my salary to you! Whatever you say, I'll do!" Cui Tianjiao, like a simping dog, knelt beside Ling Hanrui, even grabbing her hand, pleading earnestly.
"Don't touch me! Now you know you're wrong? Now you want to fix things? Now you'll put the house in my name? Too late!! I don't need it!! I'm getting an abortion later!! I don't need your house or a cent of your money! Happy now?"
The more sincerely Cui Tianjiao begged, the guiltier and more panicked Ling Hanrui felt, making her act even more aggressive and unreasonable.
Watching this couple put on a show, Li Bin couldn't help but want to laugh. Ling Hanrui was a master of every vice—a true feminist icon.
But for him, this chick was fun as hell. Cuckolding a simp like Cui Tianjiao carried zero guilt and felt like a major win.
Thinking of how he'd toyed with the guy's wife last night, now watching her berate her cuckolded husband with such gusto, the contrast was thrilling, making him feel smug as hell!
