Chapter 3 - Chapter 0003: The Cold Wife at Home

After Qin Muge and Ye Xunhuan had come to the room earlier...now seeing the tangled web of scars on Ye Xunhuan's body, Qin Muge couldn't help but wonder what he really did for a living?

The scars on Ye Xunhuan's body were deep and superficial, many of them were deadly. Who was this guy really, and how did he have so many scars, especially the one over his heart, how had he survived that initially?

At that moment, Qin Muge's heart was filled with intense curiosity.

In peaceful times, a man bearing gunshot and knife wounds was always a man with a story. And a man with a story was usually the most popular among women.

Clearly, the scars on Ye Xunhuan did not detract from his physique; instead, they added an unusual charm to him.

"You… you…"

Ye Xunhuan simply smiled faintly when he saw Qin Muge pointing at the scars on his body with her slender, fair fingers.

Qin Muge was not the first person to react this way after having relations with him, and she would not be the last!

"Do you want to know the origins of these scars?"

Qin Muge nodded.

"Casual Relationship Rule, do you know it?" Ye Xunhuan said while exhaling smoke, "Don't ask about pasts, don't ask for names, don't ask who the other person is, just talk about poetry and romance!"

As he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan picked up his clothes that were thrown aside and started dressing.

"Alright, I need to leave now!" After Ye Xunhuan put on his clothes, he spoke indifferently, "You're great, it was wonderful, I hope to meet more women like you in the future!"

As he spoke, a wicked smile appeared on Ye Xunhuan's face.

If there was a definition for footloose and heartless, Ye Xunhuan was it!

But, after all, that is what casual relationships are.

Everyone is just playing along, fulfilling their own needs!

When Ye Xunhuan turned to leave, Qin Muge shouted angrily, "Stop right there!"

Hearing Qin Muge's somewhat angry voice, Ye Xunhuan slowly turned around, looking at the completely uncovered Qin Muge and said, "What, beauty, could it be…?"

As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan's gaze started to shamelessly sweep over Qin Muge's body.

Feeling Ye Xunhuan's unrestrained gaze, Qin Muge instinctively wrapped herself in a blanket and said, "You better not mention tonight's events to anyone!"

"Otherwise, you will find no peace even in death!"

Ye Xunhuan was momentarily stunned by Qin Muge's threat, but then said with a chuckle, "Relax, I know the Casual Relationship Rule!"

Seeing the carefree demeanor of Ye Xunhuan, Qin Muge immediately added, "I'm serious, you better not mention it to anyone, it's best you forget everything about tonight!"

Watching Qin Muge's earnest expression, Ye Xunhuan felt no impending doom, instead he just smiled, "I'm afraid you're the one who might not forget about it, sis!"

With that, Ye Xunhuan turned and left the room.

For Ye Xunhuan, this fleeting encounter with Qin Muge was nothing more than a clichéd story of city men and women meeting eyes in a bar and then... strangers again.

Even if Qin Muge had a background, even if she had a story, it had nothing to do with him. They were just casual acquaintances, after all, aimed solely at short-term pleasure.

Ye Xunhuan had left, but when Qin Muge saw... She couldn't help but grab her hair and started sobbing loudly. She was alone, she could cry unrestrained, weeping bitterly to vent the emotions in her heart.

She had finally taken that step, she had eventually taken it.

And all of this stemmed from betrayal, from revenge!

If Ye Xunhuan had been more attentive when he left back then, perhaps he wouldn't have left on the spot.

But he didn't see!

Walking out of the bar, the dazzling neon lights still flashed, like seductive women, enticing countless passersby in the city with their charming eyes.

The night breeze blew over, bringing a wave of refreshing coolness that traveled through his body. Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath, lit a cigarette for himself, and gently started smoking.

Thick smoke poured from his mouth. An unbidden image of a face, more beautiful and perfect than Qin Muge's, surfaced in Ye Xunhuan's mind.

But it was exceedingly cold, covered in frost.

After the image of that beautiful face appeared in his mind, a deep bitterness surfaced on the corners of Ye Xunhuan's mouth.

This face, none other than his wife—Qiu Ruoxi!

Qiu Ruoxi—the queen of the Jiangzhong City marketplace, and also the perfect goddess among countless men. Whether white-collar or gold-collar workers or even rich second-generations and the spoiled children of wealthy families, she was universally breathtaking!

Qiu Ruoxi was not only the dream goddess of countless men in Jiangzhong City but also an idol in the eyes of countless women.

It's no exaggeration to say that in Jiangzhong City, there was hardly anyone who didn't recognize Qiu Ruoxi, and whenever her name was mentioned, people would definitely think of the Imperial Map Group!

Qiu Ruoxi was indeed the leader of the Imperial Map Group!

The Imperial Map Group was a conglomerate built from scratch by Qiu Ruoxi. Starting from an initially underestimated e-commerce business, she took five years to develop the group into a very strong, multi-sector conglomerate, with a net worth reaching into the billions!

At the same time, everyone who knew Qiu Ruoxi also knew that she was very cold, a coldness that seemed to emanate from her bones and seep into her blood, creating an aura of aloofness that kept others at bay.

But the more she was like this, the more numerous men wanted to chase after her.

Their claimed motive—conquest!

Yet to date, not a single man had successfully gotten close to Qiu Ruoxi.

No one would have guessed that the goddess whom countless men wanted to approach, please, and even marry, was already wedded, and her spouse was none other than Ye Xunhuan!

If word of this got out, that Ye Xunhuan had married Qiu Ruoxi, who knows how many men would be heartbroken, and how many spoiled brats would want to fight Ye Xunhuan to the death!

Although Ye Xunhuan had married the goddess of countless men's dreams, making others envious.

But if possible, Ye Xunhuan would rather divorce Qiu Ruoxi and, of course, it would be better if they had never married at all.

Ye Xunhuan felt this way because being married to Qiu Ruoxi was worse than not being married at all. It had been over a month since they registered their marriage, and in more than a month, let alone being intimate with Qiu Ruoxi... he hadn't even touched her hand, and the woman hadn't smiled at him even once. Every day, she just went around with a stern face, as if everyone owed her five million!

It was a classic case of being able to look but not touch.

Over time, which man could stand that?

No wonder Ye Xunhuan had come to the bar for solace.

And Ye Xunhuan could clearly feel that Qiu Ruoxi really detested him and looked down on him from the bottom of her heart.

Thinking of Qiu Ruoxi, a deep sense of powerlessness would well up inside Ye Xunhuan.

Then, Ye Xunhuan sighed softly, his lonely and weathered figure slowly disappearing under the streetlights.
