Five Years of a Cold Marriage, and Now That I've Run Away, You're Losing Your Mind?

On the fifth anniversary of Jian Zhi and Wen Tingyan’s wedding, Wen Tingyan’s first love returns from abroad. So this was why he had never touched her in five years of marriage.

Wen Tingyan: “Jian Zhi, Chengcheng came back alone. She’s in a difficult position, and I’m only helping her as a friend.”

She: “I understand.”

Wen Tingyan: “Jian Zhi, I promised Chengcheng I’d celebrate her birthday with her on an island. I’m only keeping a promise I made long ago.”

She: “Fine.”

Wen Tingyan: “Jian Zhi, this banquet needs an assistant who can make a good impression. Chengcheng is more suitable than you.”

She: “Mm. Go ahead.”

When she stopped getting angry, crying, and making a fuss, he grew puzzled and asked, “Jian Zhi, why aren’t you angry?”

Of course she wasn’t angry anymore, because she was leaving too. Long tired of a marriage as lifeless as still water, she had quietly studied English, taken the IELTS, and submitted applications to study abroad. The day her visa was approved, she tossed him the divorce papers.

Wen Tingyan: “Stop joking. How are you going to survive without me?”

She turned away, bought a plane ticket, and flew to Europe, never to be heard from again. The next time he saw news of her, it was a video of her dancing in a flowing red dress beneath a foreign sky, sweeping the internet with the brilliance of Chinese red…

He gritted his teeth. “Jian Zhi, I’ll hunt you down, even if I have to search to the ends of the earth!”
