Wang Hu, having calmed his chaotic emotions, said to his wife, "Don’t say these things. Yao DianDian and I are from different places, and there won’t be any chance to meet in the future. Stop overthinking, you’re pregnant now."
"Wang Hu, do you really care about me? You’ve stopped loving me, haven’t you?"
"I can’t figure out what you’re thinking."
Bai Fanglan felt even more restless and uneasy, grabbing Wang Hu: "Answer me directly, do you like Yao DianDian? Has that bitch already ensnared your soul!"
Wang Hu looked at Bai Fanglan, her bloated body, haggard face, and messy hair tied together, no longer the delicacy and elegance she had before marriage. He sighed.
Forget it, after all, she’s like this because she’s carrying my child, I can’t just ignore her.
He said, "Nothing happened. I just feel apologetic; Yao DianDian and I are classmates. I can’t bear to see this. Let’s go and pack our bags; we’re going back. I won’t continue studying, as for promotions... I’ll work hard and there’ll be opportunities."
"You’re lying!" Bai Fanglan pushed Wang Hu away, screaming, "You’re obviously in love with that bitch but won’t admit it!" Unsatisfied after speaking, she rushed forward, constantly pounding Wang Hu’s shoulders.
"Bai Fanglan! Calm down!" He grabbed his wife’s hands.
"I’ve already caught you sneaking around with her, how can I calm down!" Bai Fanglan cried out, collapsing, "I know you don’t like me! You like someone else!"
Wang Hu angrily said, "Bai Fanglan! Watch your language! Look at what you’re saying! When did I ever sneak around with her... you’re simply being unreasonable!"
Bai Fanglan, furious, smashed a flower pot: "Yes, I’m being unreasonable. She’s pretty, has a good background, and is smart with a limitless future. Even if she got kicked out of the military school, she wouldn’t worry. But I’m old and ugly, an eyesore to you, and you can’t even divorce me. How disappointed are you, right? You wish I were dead, don’t you! Has that bitch slept with you?"
Wang Hu frowned at his hysterical wife and turned to leave.
"Are you guilty? Are you both so shameless? I can’t satisfy you because I’m pregnant, so you went to her, right? You went to find a whore..."
Slap! Slap! Wang Hu slapped his wife twice, leaving Bai Fanglan utterly stunned. She never expected her husband would treat her like this!
"You hit a woman!"
"Bai Fanglan, I’ve told you, I haven’t done anything with her! If you don’t believe it, fine. During your time in Beijing, you’ve been unreasonable, saying whatever you want, causing conflicts with the neighbors, speaking to me cynically every day—I’ve put up with all of it. You do nothing at home, I do the laundry and cook for you, and I’ve accepted it because you’re my wife. I have to respect you, take care of your pregnancy, but respect is mutual. Please remember I’m your husband; I need your care too! Not to be tortured by you every day!"
Bai Fanglan started crying. These days she’s indeed been a bit overwhelmed, the things she encountered in Shenzhen left her in pain and numb. Her appearance had worsened, making her emotional and irritable, now with this situation, she just felt he had fallen for Yao DianDian.
She thought her husband was just picking fights. Actually, she was a doctor, if she paid a bit more attention, she might have realized she had prenatal depression and needed proper rest and treatment.
But all she had in her mind now was hatred, she couldn’t think down that path at all.
"You hit me! I’m going to find your superior! I’m a pregnant woman, and you’re so ruthless! How can you be a good leader or lead the troops well!"
"I won’t go, no matter what, I won’t go!" Bai Fanglan’s tone was very firm.
But Wang Hu still insisted on applying for withdrawal from school. His reason was his wife’s poor health, discomfort due to pregnancy, and very unstable emotions, requiring rest.
Wang Hu didn’t want to sacrifice Yao DianDian to satisfy his own career path.
If it was before, he would never have done this, but now Wang Hu understands emotions. He also realized Yao DianDian’s sadness and pain, the only thing he could do was leave. To not see each other again. He wouldn’t step on Yao DianDian to climb up.
They went home together. Bai Fanglan, unwilling as she was, couldn’t shamelessly stay in the military alone.
She still took the train back home with Wang Hu. Seeing him return like this, Mrs. Wang and Father Wang stood up in shock.
"What’s going on?"
Bai Fanglan sobbed, "Wang Hu has an ambiguous relationship with another woman, was caught by the school! He wouldn’t listen to my advice and insisted on coming back!"
Her heart was full of grievances, naturally not caring about the Wang Family’s feelings.
The two of them almost fainted. Wang Hu wasn’t surprised by Bai Fanglan’s actions, he’d intended to explain slowly to his parents on the train. They were too old to handle such news. But Bai Fanglan, having promised beforehand, as soon as they entered, cursed him.
