It sounded like a cup had smashed on the ground.
Following that was Xu Wennuanâs voice trembling with rage. âYouâre sorry? Wu Hao, do you think that by apologizing to me, it will make things right? Do you think that I want to listen to your apology?â
After she spoke, something violently smashed onto the ground again.
âLet me tell you this, Wu Hao. I donât want to hear your damn apology. I want to never hear an apology from you for the rest of my life.â
Yet another shattering sound could be heard, intertwined with Wu Haoâs soft pleas. âNuannuan, please donât be like this...â
âDONâT BE LIKE THIS?! WHATâS WRONG WITH HOW IâM BEING?!â Xu Wennuan yelled. âThen why werenât you thinking about how Iâd react while you were screwing Jiang Qianqian? Men are all the sameâwhen things go wrong, theyâll tell women that we shouldnât behave like this or like that. Well if you already knew how it would be since the start, you wouldnât have done it in the first place.â
Xu Wennuanâs rage seemed uncontrollable, as now a cascade of shattering sounds could be heard from the room.
âDonât touch me, Wu Hao! Do you know that merely the sight of you disgusts me now? Whenever I see you, the face of that f*cking bitch Jiang Qianqian pops up in my mind! It makes me nauseated beyond words! Donât touch me!
âOkay, you want to talk to me? Alright then! Weâll talk! Tell me when you started hooking up with Jiang Qianqian!
âSpeak up! Arenât you here to resolve our problems? If you have no intention of talking, then get lost!â
After a long time, Wu Hao finally responded, âLast August.â
Lu Bancheng, who was about to take a sip of water, abruptly slammed his glass cup on the table, but the sound of things shattering inside Xu Wennuanâs bedroom drowned it out, and neither Gu Yusheng nor Qin Zhiâai heard it.
âAugust? So, up until I knew about this, itâs been five months? Wow, Wu Hao, well done keeping it under wraps. During the five months of your secret affair, I, Xu Wennuan, must have seemed like a complete fool in your eyes!â
âNuannuan, I was drunk...â
âYou were drunk? How about later on? So you were constantly drunk every single time for five solid months? Wu Hao, youâve toyed with me like a fool for five months so can you stop treating me like an idiot now? Drunk? Is that the best excuse you have?â
Although Xu Wennuan was fuming mad, tears eventually flowed down her cheeks as she spoke.
Lu Banchengâs hands, which were resting on the sofa, balled up, and he tightly clenched his teeth. His heart felt heavy, as if something was weighing down on it, and he found it hard to breath.
âWu Hao, Iâve been with you for 10 years. A full 10 years. Iâve dated you since I was a sophomore at 16 years old, and now Iâm already 26. As a woman, the most valuable and precious years of my life would have been those 10 years, and Iâve given them all to you. You said that you would treat me well, and what happened? So, this is how you treat me well? Do you know that, other than my parents, you were the person I trusted most in this world?â
Xu Wennuan sobbed uncontrollably.
Lu Bancheng felt a lump forming in his throat, and he couldnât bear to stay there any longer. Picking up his phone, he stood up abruptly. âLetâs go out to smoke?â he asked Gu Yusheng, who calmly and casually remained seated.
