“I don’t know, but I will try…”

“You’re not sincere,” Lu Zhanxiu grunted softly.

“Really, I will try, hard…”

Noticing the fear in her eyes, Lu Zhanxiu walked away, looking moody.

“Sir…” The housekeeper looked at Lu Zhanxiu, wanting to speak up but eventually deciding not to.

“Set up a room for her.” Without a trace of emotion on his face, Lu Zhanxiu issued the instructions and walked into his study.

What could be more frustrating than having a wife that one could not touch?

In the room, Yan Susu was curled up tightly, her body racked with uncontrollable sobbing.

In all the time since they’d gotten the certificate, she had never grasped the reality of her situation until that moment before. In that instant, she’d finally realized that she had indeed gotten married.

She knew that, as her husband, Lu Zhanxiu had every right to demand that she fulfill her obligation as his wife. Even if it didn’t happen tonight, it would happen sooner or later, and there was no way she could avoid it.

But she was really very scared…

What was she to do? What should she do if Lu Zhanxiu came back into the room?

Time passed, and the seconds turned into minutes, but Lu Zhanxiu did not come back.

The body’s normal reaction, when decompressing from a high-pressure situation, is to induce sleep. Yan Susu shut her eyes and soon fell soundly asleep.

The next day came.

“Madam, you’re up.”

Instinctively, Yan Susu looked around for a sign of Lu Zhanxiu.

Knowing who she was looking for, Auntie Tang explained with a smile, “The master has gone to work, and the Young Master has gone to school.”

“Oh.” Yan Susu sighed, aware that Lu Zhanxiu would definitely be upset.

And rightly so. Who wouldn’t angry at what had happened last night?

“Madam, this is the health tonic that the master instructed me to prepare for you. Please take it while it’s hot. Although the master hasn’t said anything, he is really concerned about you.”

“Thank you.” Looking at the bowl of steaming hot tonic, Yan Susu finally made a resolution.

She was Lu Zhanxiu’s wife. That was a reality that could not be changed, so she just had to try and accept it.

She also had to sever her ties with her past and start all over again as a new woman.

It was time, time to start fresh!

At that thought, Yan Susu put down her bowl and chopsticks. Rising from her chair, she said, “I need to go out.”

She wanted to return to her rented apartment and cancel the lease. She would throw out anything that should be discarded, including her past emotions and resolutions!

In the car, Yan Susu called a good friend of hers. “Xiao Yu, come and help me move out.”

For a few seconds, there was silence at the other end, followed by an eruption of hoots and screams. “Yan Susu, you jerk! You are finally moving out of that filthy place with that godawful stench. Wait for me, I’ll be right there!”

With a chuckle, Yan Susu hung up.

Yes, every corner of that place stank, bearing evidence of the numerous trysts between Ling Xiusi and the women he had picked up. The stench was stomach-churning.

How had she put up with all that for six years? How masochistic was that!

By the time Yan Susu got to the apartment, Xiao Yu was already waiting downstairs. At the first sight of Yan Susu, Xiao Yu rushed up to her and hugged her tightly.

“Oh quick, let me hug you. Finally, after all these years, you have done something that makes me happy. Now, if only you would leave that loser Ling Xiusi as well; then I will be even happier!”
