Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 60 It's all over now
"Damn it...where did she put the instant noodles?!"

Inside the kitchen, Li Mingche, dressed only in suit pants, kept rummaging through things.

He searched through all the cabinets in the kitchen, but couldn't find the instant noodles Ning Mengyao had bought for him.

During the time he was not at work, Ning Mengyao, who was working two jobs, was worried that Li Mingche, who was at home, would not be able to eat on time while she was at work.

I simply bought a box of instant noodles from the supermarket so he could make himself a pack whenever he got hungry.

For Li Mingche at that time, as long as he had a little money in his pocket, he would go to the card game and play a couple of rounds.

No one has ever eaten the instant noodles in the house.

Although it was quite some time ago, Li Mingche, who was in the kitchen at the moment, remembered seeing traces of instant noodles there.

He couldn't remember when it was.

"found it!"

Li Mingche searched almost the entire kitchen before finally finding the instant noodles.

In the innermost cabinet, neatly stacked packages of flatbread were displayed, but the cardboard boxes that were originally used to hold them were nowhere to be found.

It's highly likely that Ning Mengyao collected them and sold them as scrap.

At that moment, Li Mingche couldn't think about anything else. He picked up a packet of instant noodles and roughly tore it open.

I filled a pot with tap water, turned on the stove, tore open the seasoning packet from the instant noodles, and poured it all in.

The water in the pot was boiling, bubbling and gurgling.

I pulled out the chopsticks and stirred it haphazardly. Once I saw the dough break apart, I turned off the heat.

Pick up a small basin and pour the whole pot into it.

Then he left the used pot in the kitchen and left the kitchen with the small bowl containing instant noodles.

Pushing open the bedroom door, the woman inside seemed to smell instant noodles.

They cheered and showered him with praise.

The other person's voice gradually faded away only after the door was closed.

Less than a minute.

The sound of a key turning came from the security door in the living room.

Ning Mengyao opened the heavy security door, then carefully closed it again.

Turn around and look at the living room.

Looking at the living room with its lights on, my questioning gaze fell on the kitchen.

The kitchen light was on, indicating that someone had just been inside.

Ning Mengyao, who had come upstairs to get lemon tea, walked to the kitchen.

Looking at the messy scene before her eyes, the bottom cabinet door was open, revealing her carefully arranged items scattered on the floor.

It looks exactly like a thief breaking into a house and ransacking it.

Standing there dumbfounded, she stared at the kitchen in front of her, before Ning Mengyao could figure out what was going on.

The next second, she heard a faint voice in her ear.

"It's so delicious!"

The sound was faint, drifting into her ears through the door.

Standing at the kitchen doorway, she slowly turned around and looked at the bedroom where Li Mingche was.

The other person hasn't been home for the past few days.

She never had a chance to tell the supermarket what happened after she was asked to leave.

At this moment, Ning Mengyao, who was in the kitchen, looked towards the bedroom.

I could hear indistinct voices coming from inside the bedroom.

Turn around and slowly take a step.

In the bedroom.

Xu Wenwen savored the slightly hard instant noodles.

She prefers the slightly undercooked texture to the soft, mushy noodles.

Looking at the man sitting by the bed, she squatted in front of the bedside table, filled with joy.

She wasn't actually that hungry, but she was so touched that she threw herself into his arms.

She held him tightly.

"very nice……"

"What good?"

Hearing the doting voice in her ear, Xu Wenwen tightened her grip on her arm.

"Fortunately, I met you."

"Me too."

This is probably what happiness is like.

At that moment, Xu Wenwen felt like the happiest person in the world.

They embraced each other, feeling each other's warmth.

Xu Wenwen wished time could stop at this moment.

In that way, she can continue to be happy.

"boom!"

The door, pushed open with too much force, hit the wall and bounced back.

Ning Mengyao stood by the door.

Look into the room.

The sudden loud noise separated the two who were snuggling together, and Xu Wenwen screamed when she saw someone enter.

She hurriedly grabbed the bed sheet and draped it over herself.

"Mingche... why is she back!"

"..."

Xu Wenwen's terrified voice echoed in Li Mingche's ears.

However, he was no longer in the mood to pay attention at that moment.

A sense of panic surfaced, but only for a moment.

Then things returned to calm.

Li Mingche slowly stood up, walked around the bed to the other side, took the shirt hanging on the chair, and put it on unhurriedly.

"Why are you back?"

He paused, stopping the action of buttoning his clothes.

"Lost it all again?"

"What are you saying..." came out of Ning Mengyao's mouth.

I stared in disbelief at the scene before me, at the woman who was frantically pulling the sheet over herself.

The gaze... fell back on Li Mingche.

The other person had already put on their shirt.

He was striding towards her.

He raised his hand and shoved her shoulder forcefully.

After witnessing such a shameful scene, Ning Mengyao, who was already weak, easily collapsed to the ground.

She slowly raised her head, looking down at the man staring at her.

Looking at that familiar... yet utterly unfamiliar face.

“Li Mingche…”

"Get lost, and don't bother me again."

With just a flat remark, the door in front of him closed again.

Hearing the noise around her, Ning Mengyao sat blankly on the ground.

The sound kept playing in her mind.

The video was playing, showing footage she had just witnessed.

Sixteen-year-old Li Mingche smiled and reached out his hand to her.

29-year-old Li Mingche coldly pushed her away.

"Explain yourself..."

Gently open your mouth, keeping your head tilted back.

Her thin, tired body suddenly found strength.

Struggling to get up from the ground, he went to the bedroom again.

He frantically turned the doorknob, but this time the other party had already locked the door from the inside.

It spun frantically, but still couldn't open the door.

He raised his hand and slammed it against the door with all his might.

It produced a deafening noise, accompanied by her increased volume.

"Li Mingche, explain yourself clearly!"

A heavy knocking sound was accompanied by a woman's shouts.

The news spread about the house, and then about the building.

The residents, whose lights had already been turned off, were awakened by the noise.

One by one, the lights came on, illuminating the once dimly lit floor once more.

After an unknown amount of time, the bedroom door finally opened again.

Li Mingche led Xu Wenwen out from there.

He ignored Ning Mengyao outside the door, as if she were invisible, and turned to walk towards the door.

However, Li Mingche had only taken two steps when the woman who had caught up from behind grabbed his free hand.

His fingernail dug into his flesh, causing a stinging pain in his palm.

"What are you going to do?"

"Explain yourself clearly..."

"What else is there to say? I'm not helping you anymore."

In front of the terrified Xu Wenwen, Li Mingche angrily shook her off.

The difference in physical strength caused the woman behind him to fall again.

In an instant, she fell to the ground and clung to him again. Before the two men could leave, she grabbed his trouser leg once more.

That was bought for him by Ning Mengyao.

I spent over two thousand... on a suit for him.

"Why……"

The emptiness in her eyes grew deeper and deeper, and in a short time, she had lost all hope of living again.

She simply held tightly to the man's trouser leg, letting him struggle as he did.

"Why are you doing this to me..."

"I clearly... I clearly tried so hard..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Wenwen, who had been silent, spoke again.

Looking at her, who was clinging tightly to Li Mingche and not letting go, the disgust in her eyes was undisguised.

"Strive for what? Strive to gamble and spend money?"

"..."

With just one sentence, Ning Mengyao, who was looking at the man, was speechless.

Her empty eyes slowly shifted from the woman who had spoken, turning instead to the man who had turned his face away from her.

Seeing Li Mingche avoiding his gaze, he gripped the other's trouser leg even tighter.

"What...what did you say..."

"What did you say to her?!"

"It's definitely you, it's you..."

Before he could utter a rebuttal, he easily flung the questioning woman away with his raised leg.

Ning Mengyao was unable to dodge in time and lost all her strength.

He lay sprawled on the cold floor, looking disheveled.

A bone-chilling cold surged up from the ground, enveloping her entire body.

"Shut up! Do you still want to slander me at a time like this?!"

Interrupting the woman before she could finish speaking, Li Mingche turned his face away and looked at her.

Looking at the woman lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless.

He held Xu Wenwen's hand even tighter.

"That's it for now."

"..."

The man's voice rang out in the living room and reached Ning Mengyao's ears.

"From today onwards, we have nothing to do with each other anymore."
