My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and I got married to him in a flash; he went crazy.

Pei Yichen's face was very ugly. He raised his hand to press the doorbell on the wall.

On a quiet night, you can clearly hear the short, sharp doorbell ringing from inside, even if you're standing outside.

But the woman inside didn't react at all.

He took a deep breath, took out his phone, and dialed Jiang Shutong's number, hoping that the woman didn't have the habit of turning off her phone when she slept!

Fortunately, the call went through successfully.

However, no one answered the phone until the call was automatically disconnected.

That damn woman, she's such a pig, sleeping so soundly.

Pei Yichen patiently dialed two or three more times, but no one answered.

He lost his patience, clenched his fist, and pounded on the door, the heavy solid wood door making a dull thud.

Seeing that Jiang Shutong still hadn't gotten up to open the door for him, the man's anger was about to burst out.

That woman must have done it on purpose.

Such a loud noise would wake up any normal person.

Her indifference suggests that she was deliberately preventing him from returning!

He now resembles a pathetic husband who comes home late after drinking, angering his wife and unable to enter the house.

Pei Yichen's temples throbbed with anger, making his already aching temples from drinking even more painful.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that he was just living too well and had to get married to suffer!

It was late at night, and it would be too late to visit the other houses under his name; I had to go to work tomorrow.

Pei Yichen could only ring the doorbell of apartment 1502 next door.

One minute later.

Li Kai, still half-asleep, got up and opened the door. Seeing Pei Yichen outside, his sleepiness vanished instantly. "President Pei? You…"

Pei Yichen, his face grim, pushed open the door and walked in. "The door is locked from the inside. I'm staying here for the night..."

Li Kai replied blankly, "Oh, okay."

Smelling the alcohol on Pei Yichen, it wasn't hard to guess that he had been drinking outside and was only just returning home.

The lady was probably angry, so she actually locked the president out.

Tsk tsk, Madam is really something...

He wouldn't dare.

The next day.

The morning sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains into the room, waking the woman who was fast asleep in bed.

Jiang Shutong rolled around on the bed for a while before slowly getting up.

Last night before bed, she came across a security camera video of a burglar breaking into her home.

In the video, the thief first took a knife from the kitchen before starting to search the house for valuables.

The male homeowner in the master bedroom got up in the middle of the night and ran into the thief face to face, resulting in the thief stabbing him in the face.

The background music in the video is a very tense and rhythmic kind of music.

Jiang Shutong, who was home alone late at night, saw this video and got goosebumps.

She was terrified.

This video went viral, with tens of thousands of comments below, each person recounting their own experience of having their home broken into.

Jiang Shutong was starting to question the meaning of life after reading this.

I thought there would be very few thieves in a society governed by the rule of law, but it turns out there are quite a few.

She used to live in an old, dilapidated house, where she figured no thieves would bother her.

Moreover, she lives with a large family, which makes her feel very safe.

Now, she is all alone in the huge house.

Moreover, this is a relatively high-end residential area, and the residents here are all people with considerable financial means.

Thieves would probably target houses like this, right?

It was already 11 p.m., and she couldn't help but send Pei Yichen a message, asking if he was coming back tonight.

But her message went unanswered; the man did not reply.

Jiang Shutong couldn't leave the comments section. She was both scared and curious as she scrolled down, wanting to see what other people's homes had been broken into.

The comments section emphasized that you must lock the door when you go to sleep at night, which startled Jiang Shutong so much that she quickly got up and locked the door.

Pei Yichen hasn't replied to my messages, so he probably won't be coming back tonight.

It's already midnight.

After locking the door, Jiang Shutong returned to her room, turned off the lights, and prepared to go to sleep.

But after turning off the lights, she always imagines a thief suddenly appearing at her bedside, staring at her intently.

She was so frightened that she couldn't sleep.

There was no other way, so she had to take the sleeping pills that the doctor had prescribed.

She suffered from severe insomnia due to excessive work pressure and consulted a doctor who prescribed sleeping pills.

The sleeping pills worked very well, and she fell asleep quickly.

And he sleeps very soundly, the kind that won't wake up even if thunder roars.

Jiang Shutong stretched and picked up her phone from the bedside table.

As soon as I turned on my phone, I saw a missed call from Pei Yichen, around 2 a.m.

This man actually called her so late at night. Wasn't he afraid of disturbing her sleep?

At this moment, Jiang Shutong had completely forgotten that she had locked the door from the inside last night.

Her foot is much better today; she can walk with a limp now and doesn't have to hop around anymore.

However, just to be on the safe side, she still doesn't plan to go to work today.

After all, the proposal has already been submitted, and there are no urgent projects at hand.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Jiang Shutong planned to go downstairs to throw out the trash.

I left the takeout containers from yesterday in the trash can and they're starting to smell now.

Her foot was much better today, so she limped downstairs to throw out the trash.

Holding a trash bag, she opened the door and stepped outside, only to see Pei Yichen coming out of the house next door.

The two locked eyes.

Good grief, so he didn't come back last night because he slept next door.

Tsk tsk.

So, the reason she didn't reply to his messages last night was because she was having a fierce battle with Li Kai?

Jiang Shutong tried hard to maintain her composure, pretending to be nonchalant, and said, "Well, it's okay. You can sleep next door if you want in the future. I don't mind..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man grabbed her arm, causing her to drop the trash bag and drag her back into the house.

Jiang Shutong was forcefully thrown onto the sofa by the man. She rubbed her wrist, which had been pulled red, and said, "Pei Yichen, what are you doing? My foot is still injured..."

I initially thought he was just unpredictable and difficult to get along with, but now it seems he's also a violent maniac.

Could it be because he was caught in their homoerotic relationship and became angry and embarrassed?

She wisely refrained from exposing him, treating herself as a naive and innocent girl who knew nothing.

Where can you find a wife of a gay man as magnanimous as her?

Pei Yichen's face turned ashen, and he said in a cold voice, "Miss Jiang, please get this straight, this house is mine."

Jiang Shutong was a little confused by this seemingly nonsensical statement. "I know."

She thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Oh, you want me to pay your rent? Sure."

She had previously offered to help him pay the mortgage, but he refused, probably because she didn't want to give him a share of the house in the event of a divorce.

She'd rather pay rent; she doesn't like owing favors to others.

Pei Yichen's headache worsened with anger.

"Our prenuptial agreement clearly states that we will not interfere in each other's private lives." The man's voice was cold and his tone restrained. "Therefore, you have no right to tell me what time I come home, and you certainly can't lock the door and shut me out just because I'm late!"
