The next day, when Wang Bo was going to work, he had dark circles under his eyes. Obviously, he hadn’t slept all night.

  Ning Shu looked at his face and said, “Take a break. There’s no rush to go to work. You won’t be efficient at work like this anyway.”


  Cai Anqi also came out of the bedroom. Wang Bo looked towards her and nodded, “Then, I’ll rest for a while.”


  Cai Anqi’s face wasn’t looking good. She asked Wang Bo, “Why did you do that to me?”


  Wang Bo said, “As husband and wife, isn’t it very normal to do that kind of thing? You could do it with other men. Why can’t you do it with me?”


  Cai Anqi was instantly enraged. “I’m not feeling well. It hurts, but you still forced me.”


  “It doesn’t hurt with other men? Only you have the final say whether it hurts or not.” Wang Bo had calmed down, and he now spoke in a much more organized way.

  “How dare you talk to me like this?” said Cai Anqi, taken aback.

  Wang Bo had always been careful and tender with her. Now when he talked to her like this, Cai Anqi wasn’t used to it for a while and felt offended.

  Wang Bo ignored her and sat down to eat.

  Cai Anqi stamped her feet and also sat down for breakfast.

  Ning Shu said to Cai Anqi, “Accompany me to grocery shopping later.”


  “What do you mean by shopping? Right now, you should be considering whether to divorce or not.” Cai Anqi deliberately used divorce to provoke Wang Bo.

  However, seeing Wang Bo’s cold, emotionless face, Cai Anqi was frustrated and a little uneasy.

  She was relying on Wang Bo’s feelings for her and concessions. But now that her body had problems, both of her weapons were gone.

  As a result, Cai Anqi was a little flustered.

  Ning Shu said, “As long as you aren’t divorced, you are still the daughter-in-law of this family.”


  After breakfast, Ning Shu took the basket and put it in Cai Anqi’s hands. Cai Anqi said coldly, “I’m not going.”


  “Then, you’ll only see your ruined shoes,” said Ning Shu.

  Although Cai Anqi was furious, she had no choice but to carry the basket and go together with Ning Shu to buy vegetables.

  Cai Anqi had learned to be smart this time and didn’t wear high-heeled shoes anymore. She followed Ning Shu while sweating from the sun. Her face was burning from the heat.

  Ning Shu wandered back and forth in the food market, but Cai Anqi had no choice but to follow her, lugging the heavy basket of vegetables.

  Cai Anqi glared at Ning Shu’s back with blazing eyes. As soon as she got what she wanted, she would definitely make the mother and son pay.

  The only thing restraining Cai Anqi was her brand collection. She had a dress cut before, and it made her heart drip blood.

  These things weren’t cheap.

  Cai Anqi was carrying things as she followed behind Ning Shu. On the way home, Ning Shu would talk endlessly whenever she met an acquaintance.

  It was so hot outside, but it was as if this old woman couldn’t feel it.

  Cai Anqi noticed that whenever Ning Shu encountered someone, she would praise Cai Anqi for being filial, saying that she even came with her to do grocery shopping and blah blah. It was so hypocritical.

  They were clearly on the verge of getting a divorce, but she still acted like they were a harmonious mother- and daughter-in-law pair. How was this not hypocritical?

  When Cai Anqi saw Ning Shu’s gentle and kind appearance, she was bleeding in her heart from holding back her anger. This woman was so hateful. She was so good at putting up a front outside.

  After slowly strolling around, it was almost noon. When Cai Anqi got home, she threw the basket in her hand and ran to her room to save her sunburnt skin with the cosmetics.

  Cai Anqi was extremely resentful that her expensive maintenance products were taken away by the old woman.

  As she was applying products to her face, Ning Shu stood at the bedroom door and said, “Choose a dish and cook.”


  “Why should I?” retorted Cai Anqi.

  Ning Shu said, “Alright. It seems I have no choice but to use your skincare cosmetics to polish leather shoes.”
