My Terrible Life in Those Years

As expected, Du Yan was immediately struck by his words, which pierced her already fragile heart.

She trembled all over, and was so excited that she was about to cry again.

I thought to myself, "This is it!"

This bastard's sweet talk is at least at the level of a level five Casanova!

They're only one level below me, a level six Casanova!

Despite the pain in my liver, kidneys, and stomach, I yelled, "Waiter, another drink!"

The matter wasn't handled well at all, and we've already spent dozens of dollars on it – a huge loss!

But I had no other choice. I couldn't just run over there and negotiate with him on her behalf, could I?

To be honest, I'm not afraid of his reaction, but I'm afraid of Du Yan. I'm already feeling uneasy, and if the three of them team up against me, I really won't be able to do anything about it.

She regained some consciousness and remembered what I had repeatedly told her.

Du Yan's expression was conflicted. He had made her unable to ask some questions after hearing his words, and even with my prompting, it didn't seem to have much of an effect.

It's actually quite normal. On one hand, there's your lover whom you've been with for so long, and on the other hand, there's your neighbor whom you've only known for a few days!

She was on the verge of being abandoned when she suddenly encountered me, her neighbor who could temporarily lend a helping hand. But I'm far from being her lifeline!

"Well, she only called my name in my dream. How did she assume we were involved? Or did you tell her first?"

"Oh, you have no idea, ever since she heard me call your name in my dream, she's become suspicious. She's been doing all sorts of checks."

Du Yan was completely captivated by his expressions, demeanor, and tone of voice, and became immersed in his emotions.

She couldn't help but feel nervous for him: "What did she investigate about you? I... I've always listened to you, I haven't given you anything, and I haven't left you anything!"

He lowered his head slightly: "I left!"

Du Yan became even more nervous: "What did you leave behind?"

"Your scent, and..."

Holy crap, this bastard's cultivation level is more than just level five!

"Also, she checked my underwear without my knowledge, and one time, she left yours..."

Du Yan's face was deathly pale, and she kept pinching and squeezing her hands.

"On two or three occasions, she discovered it, secretly took photos, and threw them in front of me. She said, 'It doesn't matter if I don't admit it, I'll just go to your workplace and find your leader.' She also said, 'If I don't get rid of you, I'll report you to my workplace's disciplinary committee. If I really report you to my workplace, to my leader, and to the disciplinary committee, all my hard work over the decades to achieve this little bit of status and success will be gone!'"

My heart sank.

I still underestimated this bastard. Look at the condition he put on, how smoothly it went. If he hadn't rehearsed beforehand, I would have performed the act of breaking a boulder on my chest!

His expression, his demeanor, and all the details were interconnected, making it impossible for Du Yan not to believe him. She couldn't help but continue to think about him. The most likely scenario was that she would do as he suggested, leave her job, and perhaps he would arrange for her to work at a partner company for a while. Then, since they wouldn't see each other every day, the connection would naturally fade away!

That's a brilliant tactic!

Du Yan's face is very expressive.

When they heard about smells or underwear, they looked like they'd been caught doing something wrong.

When he heard that his wife was going to report him to his workplace and the disciplinary committee, his face turned deathly pale, and he seemed unsteady on his feet.

"Then, what should we do?" She was completely at a loss.

Good grief, I know that listening any further won't help.

This girl, under his skillful manipulation, completely lost her composure and forgot all the instructions and reminders I had given her.

"So, I had no choice but to come up with this method. First, to protect you, I need to leave your workplace and find a place where she can't find you. Second, my job shouldn't be affected either. Then, we can slowly figure out a solution!"

"You...you're not going to transfer me to another company and never care about me again, are you?" Du Yan's heart had completely softened.

"How could I? Don't worry, I won't abandon you!" He took her hands in his at just the right moment, switching into his "scumbag-turned-warm-hearted" mode.

Du Yan silently enjoyed the rare good time.

He sighed again: "She came today because yesterday your neighbor said he had a lot of evidence, and she said she wanted to see what kind of evidence you had."

As he said this, his eyes flickered, and he stared intently at Du Yan.

I cursed under my breath. The fox's tail has finally been revealed!

All this foreplay and preparation was just to get Du Yan calm down so she could ask that question, right?

He himself is probably more worried than his wife, fearing that she might have some evidence on her hands!

At this moment, Du Yan's expression finally showed a hint of struggle.

This was the last thing I told her.

If he asks what evidence he has, it means that his main purpose in coming today was actually for this, not to talk about old feelings or new love!

The problem is, with this bastard's level 5.5 level of womanizing skills, after all that foreplay, will Du Yan still remember it, or be able to come to her senses?

Sure enough, she hesitated to speak.

The scumbag Zhong noticed her emotions.

"Actually, you don't need to overthink it. I'm not afraid of any evidence you might have. Besides, even if you do, I believe you would never harm me."

Anyway, I'll say the same thing as before. It's true that I have feelings for you, which is why I couldn't help but pursue you. I've also been honest with her. You know I have no feelings for her!

"If it weren't for my workplace's difficulty in accepting divorce, and if it weren't for the fact that I was just about to be promoted in my department, how could I have tolerated her until now?"

Sigh, this whole set of grand principles, one after another, I feel that Du Yan may have already given up resistance and is about to surrender.

Listening any further wouldn't be very interesting.

I feel like if I hear a few more sentences, I might throw up all that coffee that cost over twenty yuan a cup.

I was ready to get up and give up.

At that moment, Du Yan suddenly turned her head and glanced at me unconsciously.

She immediately turned back to him and asked seriously, "What if I told you I have no evidence? And that I wouldn't report it to your boss?"

Zhong the scumbag breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"That would be even better. I was worried she'd force you to hand over the evidence, then I'd be in real trouble. What we discussed before was just a conversation between the two of us. If your evidence ends up in her hands, then you and I will probably be in endless trouble!"

"You seem much more relaxed now that I said I have no evidence?" If I hadn't reminded her last night and this morning, I don't think she would have noticed or asked that question at all.

"Of course! This concerns our safety and our future!"

Bullshit! Your safety is solely yours!

What future? It's clearly just your future.

I was completely speechless. I got up and left!

A perfectly good plan was ruined by an illicit affair!
