"Hanrui! I really know I was wrong! I～～What do I have to do for you to forgive me? I～～" Under Ling Hanrui's aggressive tirade, Cui Tianjiao threw away his pride, dropping to his knees with a thud, tears in his eyes as he sincerely apologized. "Hanrui, I was wrong. I swear I'll never treat you like that again! Tell me to go east, I won't dare go west. Whatever you say goes! Just come home with me!"
Seeing Cui Tianjiao kneel, Li Bin and Wen Wan looked shocked.
A man's knees are worth gold—clearly, Cui Tianjiao truly knew he'd messed up.
Thinking about it, Cui Tianjiao was genuinely good to Ling Hanrui. As a doctor with a high income and a caring nature, he was the kind of husband most women could only dream of.
Sure, Ling Hanrui was beautiful, with a great figure and a decent job, but compared to Cui Tianjiao, she wasn't getting a bad deal.
Even Wen Wan couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hanrui, enough! Tianjiao's like this now—forgive him! You're married, why make it harder than it needs to be?" Wen Wan stepped forward, tugging Ling Hanrui's arm, whispering reproachfully.
Ling Hanrui glanced at Li Bin, feeling even guiltier toward her husband. Seeing Cui Tianjiao's sincere expression, she regretted her impulsive mistake last night more and more.
The guiltier she felt, the harder it was to face him.
"Well～～then yesterday's matter～～just～～let it go～～But our house has to be in my name! That way, me and the baby will feel secure. If you lose your temper and kick me out again, what am I supposed to do?" Ling Hanrui stood, her eyes dodging, lips pursed in shame, masking her guilt and sin with a pretense of righteousness.
"Okay, okay! Whatever you say! Let's go home now, grab the property deed, and go with my parents to transfer it! It'll be in your name alone!" Seeing her relent, Cui Tianjiao grinned, fawning as he supported the visibly pregnant, still-angry Ling Hanrui, helping her downstairs like a total simp.
Watching the couple head down, Li Bin found it increasingly amusing.
From Ling Hanrui's state, she seemed to regret last night's impulsiveness. He was curious if she could hold out in the future!
Give her the cold shoulder for a few days, then tease her again—Li Bin didn't believe a slut like her could resist!
After seeing off Ling Hanrui and Cui Tianjiao, Li Bin used the excuse of preparing the birthday banquet to drive out alone.
Shen Han had taken the day off, and her three daughters were home with her. Li Bin sent the four beauties shopping together.

Inside the Hangzhou Hezhong Mercedes-Benz 4S dealership, the bright, luxurious showroom gleamed under high-end incandescent lights, even in daylight. The new Mercedes cars sparkled enticingly.
The polished floor reflected the dazzling lights, making the spacious, pristine hall shine brilliantly.
Two rows of sales staff in black suits stood respectfully at the entrance, awaiting customers.
It was only 9 a.m., and the dealership had few visitors.
A stylish, attractive woman with an LV bag strutted in haughtily, accompanied by a slick middle-aged man. A sales consultant quickly approached, eagerly explaining the cars.
Fresh from buying his watch at the Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique, Li Bin parked his Toyota Corolla in the dealership's lot, stepping out cautiously. The opulent, gleaming Mercedes showroom intimidated him.
Coming from a modest background, Li Bin had grown up poor, with little success at work, always scraping by. He'd never dared dream of owning a luxury car like a Mercedes or BMW. Even his Corolla was bought with Ling Hanrui's dowry and his savings.
For a poor kid like him, a century-old brand like Mercedes inspired instinctive awe.
Before, he'd have mocked himself for even stepping into a Mercedes dealership. But now, with money in his pocket, he carried a bit more confidence.
Looking at the rows of sharply dressed sales staff—tall, handsome men and tall, made-up women—their polished aura, set against the dazzling showroom, felt strikingly glamorous.
"Hello, sir! Welcome to Hangzhou Hezhong Mercedes-Benz 4S!"
Li Bin walked in tentatively, and the sales staff greeted him warmly. A handsome sales manager, Yue Yang, stepped forward, smiling and extending a hand. "Sir, I'm Yue Yang, sales manager here. May I have your name? Which Mercedes are you looking to buy today?"
