Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the sting of the slap registered on Chen Yu’s face, he was jolted from his stupor.

Anger flared in his chest as he grabbed his wife’s wrist and yanked her back into his embrace. "What’s this? Am I not allowed to touch you anymore?" he growled, his voice low with frustration.

Before she could respond, he crushed his lips to hers, his kiss fervent and forceful. His hands slid with practiced ease to her chest, kneading her breast in a possessive grip. Beneath him, he could feel the familiar pressure against her stomach—his arousal unmistakable.

The years had been kind to Sun Yi, her body now fuller, the curves of a woman who had borne children and lived with grace. He still found her irresistible, yet something had changed, something he couldn’t quite grasp. The distance between them had widened, a quiet chasm he was unwilling to confront.

At home, whenever he had tried to initiate intimacy, she had avoided him—either claiming work or a need to attend to the children. He had come to understand that she no longer desired him, and the realization gnawed at him.

He was a man with normal needs, and while he played the part of a dutiful husband in public, he couldn’t help but wonder if she had found someone else. The thought made him seethe with jealousy, a madness brewing beneath his skin.

Sun Yi slapped his cheek once more.

She pushed him away with renewed force, standing tall as she smoothed down her gown, her voice cold as ice. "Chen Yu, don’t forget. It was my family that helped you with that mess last time. What right do you have to demand anything from me? If I don’t want you, you won’t have me."

Her words hung in the air, heavier than the tension in the room. Sun Yi’s eyes, once warm with love, now held only disappointment as she looked at the man before her.

Chen Yu had not changed much over the years—still tall, still handsome—but time had added a certain worldliness to his expression, a sophistication that seemed to mask his genuine feelings. He no longer treated her with the tenderness he once had. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

At first, she had thought it was just her being too sensitive, that every marriage, no matter how perfect, would fall into a routine. But watching Gu Zi and Su Shen together, she realized the truth. Even if love faded, mutual understanding should remain. Partners should not hurt each other so thoughtlessly. Unlike her own husband, Su Shen was careful to accommodate Gu Zi’s feelings, even in public.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, blatantly disregarded her discomfort with Chen Ting, even going so far as to introduce her to work opportunities and help her block the wine.
