The sea breeze was blowing outside the window, leaving only the man's heavy breathing and the woman's soft sobs.

Jiang Linwan felt his domineering presence and her body trembled involuntarily.

"Wanwan, let's not get a divorce, okay!" Lu Qiyue looked at her and his voice was deep.

Jiang Linwan lay there, her body weak. She didn't want a divorce, but she couldn't let her greed implicate Brother Qiyue.

Lu Qiyue stared at her without speaking, his eyes bloodshot and terrifying, devoid of any pity.

"Brother Qiyue..."

"We won't get a divorce!" Lu Qiyue asked again, and when he didn't get an answer from her, the bloodshot in his eyes grew even more intense.

The next morning, as soon as Jiang Linwan woke up, she looked in the mirror and saw that she had red and swollen eyes. She was still thinking about how to ask for leave and not go to the hospital.

There came urgent knocking on the door and Liu Guiying's loud, anxious voice: "Lin Wan, are you home? Open the door."

Jiang Linwan applied cool water to her eyes and quickly opened the gate. As soon as Liu Guiying saw her red eyes, she exclaimed and pulled her quickly into the yard.

"Lin Wan, you've just been crying. Did you hear the rumors outside?"

"Sister Guiying, what rumors are circulating outside?" Jiang Linwan asked, sniffing.

Liu Guiying hesitated, but Jiang Linwan told her to speak freely, so she said, "Those people are really heartless. No matter what, you treated them before."

They all say you're selfish and heartless, cutting ties with your family for a better life. They also say you married into the mainland troupe for a reason, which is why you don't mind that he can't have children.

After Liu Guiying finished speaking, she quickly looked at Jiang Linwan: "Linwan, I don't care about your family affairs in the past, but I know that you are good to me now."

Don't be too upset, and don't pay attention to those gossipy women.

These people believe everything they hear. They only heard that Lin Wan had severed ties with her family. What if that family had never treated Lin Wan well in the first place?

"Sister Guiying, could you help me ask for a day off from the hospital? I'd like to rest at home today," Jiang Linwan said, her voice still nasal.

Liu Guiying thought she had a cold, so she immediately agreed and even brought her some cold medicine when she came back.

Jiang Linwan couldn't help but smile wryly when she saw the medicine, but she still took it. She then took another nap at home that morning.

Around noon, Lu Qiyue returned from the training ground and saw Jiang Linwan lying on the bed, her hair disheveled on the pillow, her cheeks flushed, and her breathing even and deep.

Gone is the stubbornness of last night; now she is much more docile and gentle.

Lu Qiyue's gaze was fixed on her face. He subconsciously made his movements extremely light, his fingertips hovering in mid-air, wanting to touch the corners of her swollen eyes, but then slowly withdrew them.

He walked to the table, took out a pen and paper, wrote a few large characters on it, and then turned and nimbly left the room.

"Commander, are we leaving like this? Should we tell your wife?" A voice came from outside the gate. Lu Qiyue's face was cold, his fists were clenched tightly, and the veins on his arms were faintly visible. His voice was low and hoarse, filled with anger: "Shut up. You've been talking a lot of nonsense today."

Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang reluctantly shut his mouth.

It seems his wife was telling the truth; the regimental commander's wife really did take advantage of him by marrying him.

Otherwise, the leader wouldn't have gotten so angry.

As they exited the family compound, a jeep was parked at the gate. Seeing Lu Xiyue approaching, Xiao Zhang immediately opened the car door: "Commander, does your wife know you're on a mission?"

Lu Qiyue frowned as he looked at the two of them. Why were they talking so much nonsense today?

Could it be that they all know his wife wants a divorce? Well, what wife would buy a house outside all of a good relationship?

It turns out everyone knew, except for him, who was completely oblivious.

His eyes instantly turned gloomy, and a murderous aura swept around him.

Sensing the commander's anger, Xiao Zhang immediately shut his mouth in fear.

On the other side of the family compound, Jiang Linwan slept until after 2 p.m. When she woke up, her stomach started growling. She slipped into her spatial dimension and ate some food to fill her stomach.

Thinking of the medicine she had received from Dean Song that day, she had just taken it out to study it when someone knocked on the door.

Jiang Linwan quickly left the space, opened the door, and Lu Wanyun immediately launched into a tirade against her: "Jiang Linwan, such a big thing happened, and you still have the nerve to stay at home like nothing happened."

"Otherwise what? What am I supposed to do?" Jiang Linwan raised her head and looked at Lu Wanyun with a cold expression.

Guiying already told the rumors outside this morning. It's nothing more than that her family was capitalists, and she cut ties with her family to avoid being sent to the countryside.

She had no way to refute that.

Lu Wanyun was taken aback by her sudden retort, and her face turned even more unpleasant. However, thinking of the important business she had come to handle today, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked, "Do you still have any prescriptions?"

If you have some, donate some; that way, people will have less resentment towards you.

Jiang Lin's prescription last night received great praise from the organization, and even her husband was praised.

The interests of each family are intertwined. Jiang Linwan's matter has caused a stir in the family compound, and it will definitely implicate her husband. She must find a way to remedy the situation.

Jiang Linwan didn't speak, she just kept looking at Lu Wanyun.

"Jiang Linwan, why aren't you saying anything? Why are you staring at me like that? You've made my nephew leave. You're not thinking of hiding behind him, are you?"

"Qi Yue is so good, and you just stand by and watch him get dragged down, doing nothing for him?" Lu Wanyun glared at her.

Jiang Linwan was somewhat taken aback. Lu Qiyue had gone on a mission. What a coincidence!

"Jiang Linwan, do you have a prescription or not?" Lu Wanyun was getting impatient.

"No, do you think prescriptions are like cabbages? You think they come out of nowhere?" Jiang Linwan looked at her with disdain. How could someone as proper as Grandpa Lu have such an arrogant and domineering sister?

"How could you not have any? Your Jiang family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, you should have many ancestral prescriptions, are you just reluctant to take them out?" Lu Wanyun became angrier the more she thought about it.

If Jiang Linwan is just occupying a position without doing anything, she might as well divorce her nephew sooner rather than later, since Qi Yue is genuinely disgusted with her this time.

"Our family's previous prescription was handed over to the government a long time ago, so it's no secret anymore. Auntie can investigate if she doesn't believe me," Jiang Linwan said calmly.

Lu Wanyun was taken aback, but quickly said, "Now that you've established yourself on Dayu Island by using my nephew, you should part ways amicably and get a divorce as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll head back now." Jiang Linwan said, closing the door behind her, leaving Lu Wanyun feeling resentful at being turned away.

After returning to her room, Jiang Linwan entered the space again, took out the pills from before, crushed them in a dish, dipped her finger in them, and placed them on the tip of her tongue.

It's very bitter, with a fishy taste, but also a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Soon, an indescribable numbness danced on the tip of her tongue, and Jiang Linwan frowned.
