Cai Anqi went over and ruthlessly kicked Wang Bo wake. She angrily demanded, “I’m hungry. Go and get me something to eat.”


  After working hard for the whole day, Wang Bo was exhausted and had just started to fall asleep when he was violently woken up by Cai Anqi. He felt extremely upset about being woken up so suddenly.

  “I’m hungry,” said Cai Anqi.

  Wang Bo felt his patience run out, and he angrily snapped, “Earlier during dinner, you said you weren’t hungry, but you want to eat in the middle of the night? Can you stop causing so much trouble all the time?”


  It was the first time Wang Bo had ever snapped at Cai Anqi in such a manner. She felt furious. “You’re acting like this just because I wanted you to get me something to eat? You’re the worst! Complete scum!”


  Wang Bo was not in the mood to argue, so he lay back down and said, “I’m tired, Anqi, and I have to go to work tomorrow. If you want food, then go and get it yourself.”


  Cai Anqi became more vexed when she saw Wang Bo ignoring her, so she kicked Wang Bo once again. But, Wang Bo endured the pain and didn’t move.

  “Useless trash.” Cai Anqi let out a long stream of insults at Wang Bo. “You think you’re all that? You’re ugly. You have no humor. You don’t have friends. Heck, you don’t even have a hobby. All you do is work all day to earn some damned wages.”


  Wang Bo sharply turned around to face her and asked, “Why did you even marry me if you find me so pathetic?”


  “I was blind. I thought you were a man who knew how to treasure his loved ones. Now I see that you’re simply weak and incompetent, who knows nothing else but to listen to his mother.” Cai Anqi angrily stated.

  Wang Bo tightly clenched his trembling fists in pain and anger. He tried to argue back, but he couldn’t utter a single word.

  Cai Anqi saw Wang Bo’s eyes turn red, and apprehension gripped her heart. She snorted in disdain and quickly retreated back into her bedroom.

  Wang Bo sat on the ground, motionless.

  The next morning, Ning Shu got up to see Wang Bo pensively sitting in a corner. He emitted depression from head to toe.

  Ning Shu walked over and saw Wang Bo’s miserable expression. His entire body looked like it was drained of any energy. She tried to comfort him and said, “Wang Bo, don’t overthink.”


  Wang Bo looked at Ning Shu and said, “Mom, I want a divorce.”


  Ning Shu smiled and clapped Wang Bo on the shoulder. “Don’t rush into this. You haven’t made up your mind yet. You should give this matter more thought.”


  Wang Bo held his head in despair and looked dispirited.

  This was all, of course, because of Ning Shu’s arrival. Ning Shu wouldn’t spoil Cai Anqi, as Yang Ziyi did before. Everything in the family used to be done by Yang Ziyi, and Cai Anqi didn’t have to do a thing.

  But Ning Shu wasn’t like that, and it made Cai Anqi unhappy.

  It caused the conflict between Wang Bo and Cai Anqi to break out in advance.

  Originally it was just a little trifling family matter. However, Yang Ziyi and Wang Bo were too simple-minded and were unable to deal with it well. In the end, Cai Anqi made a fool out of them, and she even got a considerable sum of money out of them.

  The injustice of this all pushed Yang Ziyi to offer up her soul to counterattack.

  Family matters were the most difficult to deal with, and the ones that hurt people the most were often the ones that were the closest. However, Cai Anqi had no regrets nor shame. She took the money and simply left to enjoy life.

  While Wang Bo became more withdrawn because of her betrayal.

  Ning Shu made breakfast and tried to cheer Wang Bo up. “Here. Eat till you are stuffed. Things aren’t always as painful as you think. You don’t need to be sad for things that aren’t worth it.”


  “Your pain due to wishful thinking won’t be noticed by others.” Ning Shu said.

  Wang Bo helplessly said, “Mom, you’re throwing salt on my wound. What do you mean by pain due to wishful thinking?”


  Ning Shu shrugged her shoulders. “This is how it’s supposed to be. Once in a while, I’ll laugh at myself and have good humor. There’s no suffering that won’t pass. I, too, had my fair share of suffering, back when I had divorced your father and brought you with me to live alone. But look, I’m still here.”


  “There is no one who cannot live without someone else.”


  Wang Bo slowly had his breakfast, deep in thought.

  Cai Anqi came out of the bedroom and saw the breakfast on the table. She turned to Wang Bo and accusingly said, “Why didn’t you call me for breakfast? You knew I was hungry.”


  Wang Bo didn’t say a word. When Cai Anqi saw that he was ignoring her, she felt choked in anger and loathed him a lot.
