Upon receiving the message, Xu Qianli immediately entered the elevator and swiftly arrived in front of room 608.
All the way there, he felt like a thief, his guilt weighing heavily on him.
Finally reaching the door of the room, he lifted his hand to knock but found it as heavy as if it weighed a thousand pounds, unable to bring it down.
For some reason, his heart was filled with a sense of guilt; he felt that doing this was especially unfair to Xu Shuman.
Although they had broken up, it was not beyond repair, as there were still three years of affection between them, which couldn't be so easily severed.
Yet here he was, spending the night with another woman behind her back; Xu Qianli couldn't express how much remorse he felt, his hand hesitating to knock.
Just then, his phone rang, and upon checking, it was a call from Xu Shuman.
After pressing the answer key, Xu Shuman's pleasant voice came through.
"Hello, Xu Qianli, I have something to tell you. I've already moved your stuff out of the room, and it's sitting in the hallway. If you don't want it lost, hurry up and move it."
"From now on, we have no ties whatsoever. Don't you ever try to disturb my life again!"
Her voice was pleasant but incredibly cold, each word stabbing into Xu Qianli's heart like a steel blade.
Originally still harboring three years of feelings and wanting to win back Xu Shuman, Xu Qianli took a deep breath and said angrily,
"Xu Shuman, you're ruthless!"
"With a clear conscience, I, Xu Qianli, can say that during these three years, I have been utterly devoted to you, treasured you like a jewel, without ever slighting you."
"When my career was soaring, I had plenty of people trying to set me up with girlfriends, even the daughter of the County Organization Department head was interested in me, but I rejected them all for you, wholeheartedly being good to you."
"Look at you now, witnessing my career hit a low, first giving me the cold shoulder, showing me attitude every day, and then you brought up breaking up. Today, even throwing my stuff out of our home."
"You are so heartless and merciless towards me, haven't you ever thought that one day I may rise again? Aren't you afraid you'll regret this day?"
Xu Qianli was beyond furious.
After the old County Magistrate's death, his career plummeted, and everyone seemed able to step on him, everyone but Xu Shuman.
Over these three years, for her sake, he rejected countless women far better than her, rejected countless women who wanted to latch onto him, pampering her in every way, catering to her every need, and even arranged for her father and brother to be placed in government service, showing her nothing but kindness and fairness.
And yet, she treated him like this, heartlessly throwing all his belongings out of the house.
The damn apartment was even rented by him!
Three full years he had devoted his true heart, even a block of ice should have melted, but it could not warm Xu Shuman's heart of steel!
Xu Shuman's voice soon came through the phone again, first with a scoff, then with exceedingly scornful words.
"Don't you see the current state of Jiang City County? After the old County Magistrate passed away, his followers either joined County Magistrate Zhang, tried to transfer out, or were suppressed into a corner."
"You have no talent for a transfer, being firmly stuck in the County Government, forget about raising your head ever again!"
"Before, you were the powerful County Chief Secretary, the Director of the County Government Office, but now you're nothing more than a scabby dog, still dreaming of a comeback, you're really overestimating yourself!"
Listening to Xu Shuman's cutting and venomous words, Xu Qianli suddenly calmed down.
"Xu Shuman, oh Xu Shuman, let's just wait and see!"
Xu Qianli promptly hung up the phone.
What was the use of quarreling with such a vile person?
The most effective way to deal with her was to slap her in the face with strength!
After that phone call, Xu Qianli's previous guilt and embarrassment vanished, ambition filling his heart.
This past month, he had been cast into the abyss, failing in both his career and love life, with everyone daring to step on him, daring to rub salt into his wounds, making him endure the most painful time.
And all of that was going to end tonight!
Resolute, Xu Qianli knocked on the door.
It didn't take long for the door to open, and a figure appeared before Xu Qianli.
Seeing her appearance, Xu Qianli held his breath.
Though Zeng Changyun had told him his wife was as beautiful as a flower, with a gorgeous figure,
he didn't expect her to be this stunningly beautiful, beyond Xu Qianli's imagination.
The woman before him was extremely tall, at least over 175 centimeters, her skin white and delicate, flushed with a youthful glow, her figure curvy and voluptuous, full in all the right places, and yet with a waist as slim as a serpent, complemented by a dramatically ample hip curve, an absolute top-tier hourglass figure.
It would be enough if she just had a great body, but right now she was wearing a thin, strappy silk nightgown, its soft fabric beautifully accentuating her fiery figure, her neckline generously open, adding allure and extreme sensuality.
Then looking at her face, her features were exquisitely beautiful, stunningly gorgeous, a pair of intoxicating eyes filled with charm and seduction, her entire being radiated the ultimate femininity.
Watching her, Xu Qianli couldn't help but swallow.
Zeng Changyun really hadn't lied to him; this woman was too beautiful and sexy.
Such a top-tier beauty, how could Zeng Changyun bear to let another man touch her?
The woman was also looking at Xu Qianli, having drunk quite a bit, her eyes blurry and not seeing very clearly, barely making out that it was a man.
A figure emerged hazily in her mind, overlapping with the silhouette of Xu Qianli, her eyes suddenly bursting with excitement. She violently grabbed Xu Qianli's hand, pulled him into the room, and threw herself enthusiastically into his arms.
"You've come, my dear, you've finally come to see me. I missed you so much, I really did..."
The woman was passionate as fire, hardly speaking before she actively kissed Xu Qianli, entwining tongues with him.
