[Older woman-younger man romance]
From the moment Fang Zhushen steps into the house, Xu Lianwu feels uncomfortable. His deep gaze sweeps over her from head to toe, as if he can see right through her.
If their ages and appearances weren't so far apart, Xu Lianwu would honestly suspect that Fang Zhushen was her husband's illegitimate son.
After all, she can't believe her stingy husband would be so kind as to bring a sixteen-year-old boy home to raise.
Unfortunately, her husband gets the credit for being a good person, while she's always the one who has to follow through.
"Sis, I'll be good. When I graduate from high school, I'll move out and support myself."
Hearing Fang Zhushen's obedient words, Xu Lianwu can't bring herself to say the harsh things she'd prepared. After a long silence, she says, "I'll go to your parent-teacher meeting, but don't call me Sis."
"But if I don't call you Sis, what should I call you?"
Later, when the two of them are lying in the same bed, Fang Zhushen still calls her Sis, but the respect that used to color his voice is gone.
"Sis, relax."
"Sis, I'll make you feel so good."
The next day, Xu Lianwu rubs her aching lower back and finally realizes he planned all of this.
"Was it you who planned for my husband to cheat on me?"
"So what if it was?"
Xu Lianwu grabs the glass by the edge of the table and throws it at him. It hits Fang Zhushen in the forehead, and blood immediately streams down his face.
Xu Lianwu never expected him not to dodge. Her face goes pale on the spot.
Fang Zhushen remains calm. He reaches up, takes a tissue from the top of Xu Lianwu's head, and wipes himself slowly. "Sis, I think I should remind you that he's not your husband anymore."
What kind of husband is a man who cheats on her?
