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

Shen Tang loosened Li Meihua's hair and glared at her warningly.

Li Meihua sat there silently.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Shen Tang asked Zhao Wenjing.

Zhao Wenjing glanced at Li Meihua, then whispered in Shen Tang's ear:

"Zhang Dawei really wants to break up with me."

As she spoke, she pouted and looked like she was about to cry.

Shen Tang sighed. "Let's go outside and talk."

The two walked to the edge of a small, crooked grove of trees and sat down.

"What happened?" Shen Tang asked.

"I went to find him just now, but he ignored me, so I called him downstairs."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tang felt sorry for Zhao Wenjing.

"After he came down, he was very cold towards me. I asked him what he wanted, and he said, 'Didn't we already break up?' Waaah... I was just saying it, and he took it seriously."

Zhao Wenjing covered her face, her shoulders trembling, her sobs muffled in her palms.

"That's it?" Shen Tang asked.

"That's it, he said so, so I'll just leave."

Zhao Wenjing lifted her face from her palm, her eyes red and swollen.

"Wait for me to go find him and bring him over." Shen Tang stood up.

Zhao Wenjing quickly grabbed her, "Why, why did you call him here?"

"Of course, we should make things clear. If he really wants to break up, then break up. If he's still reluctant, then we should talk things out properly. You're rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala right now, so you can't be distracted."

After finishing speaking, Shen Tang strode towards the dormitory of the team ahead.

When Shen Tang arrived at the dormitory building, Ji Huaizhou was coming downstairs and was stunned when he saw Shen Tang.

"Shen Tang, you...you were looking for me?" Ji Huaizhou asked expectantly.

Before Shen Tang could reply, Ji Huaizhou hurriedly said, "Shen Tang, actually I've always wanted to come find you."

He paused, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and said in a low voice, "I can leave the performing arts troupe, I don't care."

As he spoke, the tips of his ears turned bright red.

Shen Tang looked at him with a puzzled expression as she listened to his incoherent words.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, if you're willing to marry me, I can quit the performing arts troupe. My family has connections; we can arrange for you to work as a sales clerk in a department store—a secure job. I'm the only one in my family, and I guarantee I'll never mistreat you."

"You've misunderstood, I didn't come here to see you," Shen Tang quickly said.

Ji Huaizhou grabbed her arm. "Shen Tang, I know you still have feelings for Huo Xiuyuan. It's okay, we can slowly cultivate our relationship."

Shen Tang didn't expect Ji Huaizhou to be so excited, and quickly pushed his hand away.

"Ji Huaizhou, I don't have those feelings for you. Even with Huo Xiuyuan..."

"Feelings can be cultivated. How do you know it's not right if you don't try? Shen Tang, give me a chance, please?" Ji Huaizhou pleaded.

Shen Tang never expected that her attempt to help Zhao Wenjing resolve her relationship problems would lead her into getting herself tangled up in the mess.

"Ji Huaizhou, let me tell you clearly, it's impossible for the two of us. It's impossible even without Huo Xiuyuan."

Ji Huaizhou lowered his eyes, his nose turning red.

Shen Tang looked at him.

Brother, are you going to cry?

She looked around, as if she were the one bullying him.

Shen Tang hurriedly said, "Could you please help me find Zhang Dawei?"

Ji Huaizhou looked up, his eyes bloodshot. "Zhang Dawei? You'd rather have him than me?"

"Oh dear, what nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Tang frowned. "It was Zhao Wenjing who contacted him."

"Why didn't Zhao Wenjing come to see him herself?"

"Ji Huaizhou, please don't cause me any trouble, okay?"

If someone overheard this and spread it around, she would be seen as a slut who was cheating on Huo Xiuyuan while he was away.

Ji Huaizhou finally couldn't hold back his tears and choked out:

"Okay, I'll go get it for you."

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him walk upstairs.

After a while, Zhang Dawei came downstairs and looked at Shen Tang with a puzzled expression.

"What do you want?"

"Come with me," Shen Tang said coldly.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Dawei was puzzled by Ji Huaizhou's actions.

"I'm telling you to come with me!"

Shen Tang was never kind to him.

Who told him to bully Zhao Wenjing? In Shen Tang's eyes, Zhang Dawei was not good enough for Zhao Wenjing at all.

Zhao Wenjing must be blind to have fallen for him.

Shen Tang turned around and glared at him. He had nothing to offer, and he was so dark-skinned.

Zhang Dawei was bewildered by her glare and followed her toward the grove.

"Shen Tang, I don't think we're a good match," he whispered halfway down the road.

"Shut up!" Shen Tang hissed.

Zhang Dawei was getting impatient when he noticed Zhao Wenjing sitting over there.

He instantly understood why Shen Tang had called him over.

Zhang Dawei followed Shen Tang to Zhao Wenjing.

Zhao Wenjing raised her red and swollen eyes and glanced at him.

Zhang Dawei looked at her and said, "Why are you crying?"

"Why did she cry?" Shen Tang snapped.

"She said she wanted to break up, and you didn't even try to comfort her. What right do you have? You come from a rural area, your family is poor, did Wenjing ever look down on you? Before she was with you, Wenjing ate meat every meal, but later, to save money to buy you a piece of clothing, she started eating grass. Look at her face, it turned green from all that eating. And what did you do for her?"

Let me tell you, if you can treat her well, then talk to her properly. If you're not a man, irresponsible, and petty, then get the hell out of here! There are plenty of gentle warriors who like us, do you think we're any different? Give me a straight answer today, what are you really thinking? Do you really want to break up?

Zhang Dawei was stunned by her outburst.

He turned to Zhao Wenjing and said, "No matter what, you can't eat grass, can you?"

Zhao Wenjing burst out laughing.

Shen Tang frowned at her, her anger barely contained.

Even if we're not sisters, how did this appease you?

Zhao Wenjing frowned, "Who ate grass? You're the one who ate grass!"

Zhang Dawei walked over, took Zhao Wenjing's hand, and after a long pause, finally spoke.

"Wenjing, I... I don't want to break up with you. I like you, please don't break up with me."

Zhao Wenjing lowered her head, her face no longer showing any anger.

She was quickly appeased.

Shen Tang quickly asked, "What did you do wrong?"

"Yes, where did you go wrong?" Zhao Wenjing asked, following Shen Tang's words.

"I shouldn't have been so petty, I shouldn't have overthought things, and I especially shouldn't have let you break up with me so easily. If you say you want to break up again, I won't let go. I won't break up with you."

"Wenjing, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Zhao Wenjing lowered her head and said softly, "Actually, I was wrong too. I shouldn't have said 'let's break up' so easily. I was just too angry at the time."

Shen Tang rolled her eyes. "Aren't we sisters? Why are you criticizing yourself?"

"Wenjing." Zhang Dawei pulled Zhao Wenjing into his arms.

Zhao Wenjing buried her face in his chest, her face full of sweetness.

Shen Tang rolled her eyes even more and turned to leave.

The exam is in two days, so she needs to hurry back to prepare.
