He turned around and left without even looking at me.
I suddenly panicked and reached out to pull him, but I accidentally grabbed the bath towel, which came off with a tug, exposing his bare body in front of me.
My face began to flush, and for some reason, my eyes were glued to the unexpected sight, unable to look away.
Xiao Minxing looked at me leisurely, his eyes narrowed into a long arc, and his tone was filled with humiliation: "What’s wrong? Can’t help yourself? It seems the lesson wasn’t enough; you want more so soon. Is it that you can’t control yourself when you hear our voices? Qiu Yuhan, you really have no shame."
I swallowed hard before finding my voice: "Why... why not get a divorce?"
He shot me a cold glance with a sinister look in his eyes and said, "Isn't this the marriage you wanted? I'm fulfilling your wish. Don’t worry, I won’t divorce you. To me, it’s the same whether I do or not. But I can use this method to torment you; I want to see how long you can endure."
"But why do you still go to the Hospital? Why do you still hire a Postpartum Caregiver? You could ignore me and let me fend for myself."
I blurted out my questions, my voice trembling as I locked my gaze onto his eyes, not wanting to miss any expression.
His gaze flickered momentarily, an imperceptible emotion passing quickly before he turned away, his voice cold as if it came from hell: "That would be too easy for you. If you die so easily, where's my fun in that?"
Indeed, the tiny glimmer of hope and warmth that had once risen in my heart was swept away by his words. He hated me to the core; he wouldn’t let me die easily or leave him. He wanted me to become his slave under his watchful eye, allowing him to manipulate and torment me, making me taste the bitter fruit of my own choices and repent before him.
Coming down from Upstairs and standing in the vast Living Room, despair spread endlessly within me. An unhappy marriage is a woman’s disaster, but this misfortune was all self-inflicted; who could I blame?
When I drove out, it was already past one at Night. The lights in the room on the second floor were still on; those two must still be battling it out. I should disappear from here.
The night was thick, and the headlights couldn't illuminate far ahead. Fortunately, there weren't many people on the road at that moment, so I turned on the high beams.
Not far from the house, I suddenly heard the sound of urgent braking ahead; a black car had blocked my path.
I was startled and hurriedly stepped on the brakes.
I had thought about suicide, but I never intended to kill anyone. If I crashed into them, they would either die or be seriously injured. Why would I want to harm someone?
A tall man quickly got out of the car and walked towards me. The strong light stretched his shadow long, obscuring my view.
He tapped his fingers on the glass. In a panic, I rolled down the window, and a handsome, gentle face appeared before me.
He smiled slightly and politely said, "Miss, could you turn off your high beams?"
I was taken aback for a moment and fumbled to press the button for the high beams. He withdrew his hand and said, "Thank you. Driving with high beams at night can easily cause accidents for oncoming cars."
He didn't say anything more, returned to his car, adjusted the front, and drove past me while brushing against my vehicle.
After this commotion, my initial impulse towards death seemed to have faded a bit. When I restarted the car, I carefully watched the road ahead.
After driving around for a long time on the highway, when the car finally stopped, it was outside Mina's apartment complex. Without thinking twice, I called her.
Mina's drowsy voice came through on the other end, asking, "What's wrong, Mrs. Xiao? Can't sleep again in the middle of the night?"
My tears fell all of a sudden, and the words stuck in my throat, unable to say a single word for a long time.
She became much more alert and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you speaking? Where are you now?"
