After Hearing His Wife's Thoughts, the Stoic Officer Drops the Act

After becoming the military officer’s wife who caused trouble at every turn in the 1970s, Jiang Mengyan had a clear goal: keep up her persona as a “delicate woman who can’t manage on her own,” wait for her aloof husband, Li Xin, to get fed up and divorce her, then take the compensation money... no, the breakup settlement, and go see the world!

At the hospital, she clutched Li Xin’s hand, tears in her eyes. “Honey, seeing you hurt breaks my heart. From now on, I’ll even help you with the toilet!”

But inside, her thoughts were racing: [Damn, those pecs are solid. I wonder what they’d feel like? But I have to hold back. Once I get the money, I’ll find myself a sweet young guy who listens to me. Who wants to look after this block of ice?]

Li Xin had just awakened his mind-reading ability. He watched the little woman before him sobbing prettily, listened to her outrageous inner thoughts, and laughed in fury.

She wanted a divorce? She wanted a young guy?

Li Xin hooked an arm around her waist, his eyes dark. “Since you love me so much, why don’t you stay tonight, sweetheart? Let’s have a deep conversation.”

Jiang Mengyan: ??? Why isn’t the story going the way it’s supposed to?
