Chapter: 6280

Xu Chóngkūn looked awkwardly at Ma Ran, saying, "Okay, stop teasing me. My previous talk of divorce was just empty words anyway. You never agreed to it either! We've been together for thirty years, and who can really leave each other now?"

Unbeknownst to Xu Chóngkūn, Ma Ran was intentionally setting him up with her words, as he had indeed previously hoped to divorce her, but Ma Ran had also threatened to do the same.

And besides, with Ma Ran's usual domineering and fierce tone, once she actually leaves me, I'll definitely have to clear up the mess and roll back the rug. When that time comes, won't there even be a place for us to live?

What if Ma Ran bears a grudge against me and goes to the Painting Association to cause trouble? By then, it's as good as over for me.

So, under this situation, it's absolutely impossible to bring up divorce again, even if Ma Ran agrees. I won't be able to accept it either.

Ma Ran suddenly laughed coldly: "Oh, Xu Chóngkūn, you're not planning to leave me after all?"

Xu Chóngkūn hastily echoed: "We've been married for thirty years. A respectable person of our age can't possibly still be causing a fuss about divorce. Let alone the fact that it would become a laughingstock."

Ma Ran jeered: "Well, then I'll just have to swallow my bitter feelings. And what about Han Mei Qing? At her age, she's been divorced and remarried. She doesn't care about people laughing at her, does she?"

Xu Chóngkūn subconsciously said: "Uh, Mei Qing is... a widow..."

Just as he finished speaking, Xu Chóngkūn's face suddenly turned pale white. He had just put down his heart, only to have it lifted up again. He trembled and asked in a quivering voice: "H-How do you think about this, old... wife?"

Ma Ran was no longer pretending to be innocent and immediately shouted: "Xu Chóngkūn, can you stop playing dumb at my age? You're treating me like a monkey! I clearly saw her name on that invitation. Don't pretend you didn't see it!"

Xu Chóngkūn's heart suddenly went numb, sinking to the bottom of his stomach. He stuttered: "Old... wife, p-please listen to me... this matter wasn't intended to deceive you... just don't want to let you know how you'd feel..."

Just as she finished speaking, Ma Ran's face suddenly turned red with anger. She slapped Xu Chóngkūn's face and shouted: "Xu Chóngkūn, what are you trying to pull on me?! You think I won't find out how you'd feel about this?!"

She then demanded: "Tell me! When is Han Meiying coming back? And when did the two of you rekindle your romance?"

Xu Chóngkūn was punched in the face and felt both angry and scared. There were no other adults around, not even someone who could intervene, and he didn't dare to hit Ma Ran back, as she would definitely fight him tooth and nail if he did. Even more so since he was driving a high-speed car at the time...

Powerless, Xu Chóngkūn reluctantly covered his face and said: "Old wife, you just saw it yourself - someone sent me a wedding invitation, they have a boyfriend, or rather, an fiancé, and they're getting married next week. We must be clean and pure, because otherwise why would they send me the invitation... I also recognize their fiancé, he's a professor from our alma mater..."

Ma Ran fiercely questioned: "Clean and pure? You damn pervert who slept with her thirty years ago in the school's love nest! You're still pretending to be innocent after all these years? Who the hell believes you?"

Xu Chóngkūn was suddenly overwhelmed with shame, stuttering: "You... you heard it from someone else... there's no such thing..."

Ma Ran slapped him again and yelled: "Don't try to deceive me! This is all Han Meiying told me herself. You think I won't believe her?"

Xu Chóngkūn didn't care about the pain, still anxious and said: "This... this is impossible... she wouldn't tell you these things..."

Ma Ran sneered: "Don't forget, I was once roommates with Han Meiying! She's that kind of silly and naive girl who can't hide her feelings! After you two finished what you did and went back to the dorm, she must have been red-faced for a whole night! I only didn't say anything because I thought she would eventually leave for America anyway, so there was no need to bring up your dirty laundry and let it linger in my mind..."

As she finished speaking, Ma Ran clenched her fists, her body trembling with rage, and demanded: "From now on, you'd better tell me the truth! What's going on between you two? When did you start dating? Han Meiying must have come back sometime... didn't you two hook up again as soon as she came back?"

Xu Chóngkūn knew he was at a disadvantage, so he didn't dare answer Ma Ran's questioning, only subconsciously letting his body lean to one side to avoid being hit again.

Ma Ran saw that he wasn't speaking and knew that there was a ghost in his heart, so she became crazed and directly unfastened her seatbelt, then pounced on Xu Chóngkūn's body. Her two hands were like wild cats gone mad, desperately trying to slap Xu Chóngkūn's face. She cursed with hatred: "You dare to put a green hat on me? I'll take you down!"

Ma Ran's whole life was like a wild and unbridled horse, but beneath this strong exterior lay an extraordinary humility and sensitivity. JrNovels.com
