She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

Li Meihua stared at Shen Tang and said, "Who are you trying to fool? Huo Xiuyuan's mother has been abroad all along. How could she suddenly come back and buy you a bicycle? You don't even bother to think before you start lying!"

Shen Tang smiled and tilted her head to look at her: "Li Meihua, don't waste your energy."

Li Meihua gritted her teeth, glared at her fiercely, and said, "Just you wait!"

Shen Tang rolled her eyes speechlessly, turned around, and pushed open the door to enter the dormitory.

There was a knocking sound at the door, and Zhao Wenjing ran in with a look of surprise on her face.

"Shen Tang—"

"What's wrong?" Shen Tang turned around in confusion.

"Shen Tang, is that bicycle downstairs yours?" Zhao Wenjing grabbed Shen Tang, her eyes shining.

Shen Tang smiled and nodded. "Yes. Do you want to ride?"

"Mmm, mmm, mmm!" Zhao Wenjing nodded her head like a rattle drum.

"Is it okay? Is it okay? I'll be careful, I promise I won't fall." She shook Shen Tang's arm.

"Okay." Shen Tang handed her the keys. "I'll help you hold it!"

The two went downstairs together.

Zhao Wenjing circled the bicycle, looking at it and touching it, clearly adoring it.

Shen Tang rode her bicycle to a deserted courtyard nearby.

"Go up and give it a try." She handed the handlebars to Zhao Wenjing.

Zhao Wenjing bit her lip, unable to suppress the urge to smile.

As soon as she took the handlebars, the bike started to wobble and tip over.

Shen Tang quickly helped her steady herself, saying, "Straighten the handlebars and relax, don't struggle with the bike."

Zhao Wenjing gripped the handlebars tightly with extreme nervousness, afraid that the bike would fall over and she wouldn't be able to ride it, let alone push it.

"What's going on? Is this car like those cattle and horses, that it recognizes its owner?" Zhao Wenjing asked.

"Relax, you're straining too much." Shen Tang patted the back of her hand. "Rest gently on it and walk with it as you go."

Zhao Wenjing gritted her teeth, pushed the cart around twice, and finally managed to walk.

"Alright, alright, be good now," Zhao Wenjing said with a smile.

"How do you ride it?"

"Let me demonstrate for you, and you'll see."

Shen Tang stepped on the pedal with his left foot, slid his right foot a few times on the ground, and once the bike started moving, he stretched his right foot back and sat steadily on the bike.

She rode around once and stopped next to Zhao Wenjing.

"This is the handbrake on the handlebars. Squeeze it gently, and the bike will stop."

"It looks pretty simple."

Zhao Wenjing took the bike from Shen Tang and, imitating Shen Tang, pedaled a few times, causing the bike to veer to one side.

She was so frightened that she quickly grabbed the handlebars.

"Why are you being unruly again?"

Zhang Dawei walked in from outside and looked at Zhao Wenjing. "What are you doing here?"

"You've come at the perfect time! I'm learning to ride a bicycle! Could you hold it for me?" Zhao Wenjing said with a smile.

Zhang Dawei frowned. "Whose is this?"

Zhao Wenjing nodded to Shen Tang, "It's Shen Tang's; her mother-in-law bought it for her."

Zhang Dawei's face turned cold. "What are you doing riding someone else's bike? What if you break it?"

Zhao Wenjing was taken aback by his words. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry," Zhang Dawei said, lowering his eyes to look at the ground. "This thing is expensive; ordinary people can't even buy it. Why are you riding it recklessly?"

Zhao Wenjing was a little unhappy. "Shen Tang hasn't said anything, why are you putting on such a face?"

"Shen Tang didn't say anything because she was embarrassed."

Shen Tang quickly said, "It's okay. Zhao Wenjing and I are good friends. This bike is meant to be ridden, so it doesn't matter if I fall."

Zhao Wenjing pushed the bicycle to Shen Tang's side and said to her:

"Shen Tang, you go back first. I have something to say to him."

Shen Tang took the bicycle and instructed, "Talk things out calmly, don't argue, it'll hurt our relationship."

"You should go back first," Zhao Wenjing said.

Shen Tang pushed her bicycle out of the yard.

Zhao Wenjing stared at Zhang Dawei. "What exactly do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything. You like bicycles, but our family can't afford them."

"What? Are you crazy? Who told you to buy it?" Zhao Wenjing couldn't understand his thought process at all.

"You didn't ask me to buy it, but the way you acted was practically begging me to. You know our family situation. My mother takes medication year-round, my father has a limp and can't do heavy work. I also have three younger siblings to support, and I send almost all of my monthly salary back home. I can't afford it."

Zhao Wenjing gritted her teeth and looked at him. "Is that the kind of person you think I am? During the time we've been together, when have I ever asked you for anything?"

"Whether you wanted it or not, as a man, I felt bad after hearing those words. What others can give, I can't. I..."

"I understand now. Not only can I not accept it, I can't even say it. Saying it would hurt your pitiful self-esteem!" Zhao Wenjing said angrily, hands on her hips, breathing heavily.

"Isn't that right? To me, it sounds like you want it. If you don't want it, why learn it? It's because you want it."

"Are you crazy?" Zhao Wenjing snapped, unable to take it anymore. "Let's break up!"

Zhang Dawei gave a helpless smile. "Have you thought it through?"

"I've made up my mind!" Zhao Wenjing gave him a hard shove and strode out.

"I knew you'd look down on me," Zhang Dawei said in a low voice from behind.

"Go to hell!" Zhao Wenjing huffed and puffed as she walked up to the dormitory building.

As soon as she entered the dormitory, she hugged Shen Tang and started crying.

"What's wrong?" Shen Tang asked hurriedly.

"Ugh—Zhang Dawei, that bastard, wants to break up with me—"

Zhao Wenjing cried and shouted loudly.

Shen Tang quickly grabbed a handkerchief to wipe her eyes, "Why did you break up?"

"He's such a chauvinist, petty, narrow-minded, and a complete idiot! A blockhead, a piece of dog shit! Ugh—"

Zhang Wenjing threw herself into Shen Tang's arms and burst into tears.

Shen Tang gently patted her back. "Is it because of the bicycle?"

Zhao Wenjing nodded vigorously. "He insisted that I was asking him for a bicycle, but I didn't—I just wanted to learn, is that not allowed?"

Shen Tang had heard Cheng Lei talk about Zhang Dawei.

Zhang Dawei's family is not well-off. He is very frugal with his meals, often eating only steamed buns and pickled vegetables, and rarely goes to the canteen.

He doesn't go shopping with everyone else. He sends his entire monthly salary home.

Moreover, he has a very sensitive personality, and he takes people's jokes seriously.

Shen Tang sighed, "Wenjing, you two aren't actually that compatible."

Zhao Wenjing looked at Shen Tang, sobbing, "I really like him, and he likes me too. He's really good to me. Even if he only has one cent left, he'll buy me candy."

As she spoke, she pouted and started crying again.

Shen Tang opened her mouth, wanting to say a few more words of advice, but after thinking about it, she swallowed her words.

Everyone has their own emotional journey to walk, and some walls you have to hit before you turn back.
