Why does the good husband not forget the past of being bullied by the evil woman after marriage?

"Whether you are afraid of women or not, you can find out by breaking into Minister Sakai's office alone."

"Yes, yes, Minister Sakai is indeed a bit fierce, but she is just a woman after all. Is she really going to eat you?"

Several female colleagues smiled at each other, revealing their mockery and ridicule without disguising their expressions. The male colleagues nearby also watched the fun and did not mind making trouble, and they all provoked them.

"So you, Shirohei, have come to this day. Can't you learn from Section Chief Shimizu? He has been criticized and targeted by Director Sakai a lot, and has been called to the director's office the most times, but he still does what he wants, neither humble nor arrogant? I think this is the true character of a man. As for you, you are just a fake!!!"

boom!

Cheng Pingchang slammed the table and stood up, stiffening his neck and retorting loudly, as if he wanted to use a louder voice to cover up the embarrassment of being exposed.

"Although I won't dream of being compared to a perfect man like Section Chief Shimizu, I won't be afraid of a woman either. Just wait and see. I'll be back soon."

"Wait, I just happen to have a document to send to Minister Sakai, I can help you take it over."

"Nanchuan, you...would you be so kind?"

Cheng Pingchang turned his head when he heard the voice, but he didn't expect that the first guy who extended a helping hand to him was his arch-enemy Minamikawa Yuna?

"Am I such a petty-minded woman in your eyes?"

Nanchuan Yuna's mouth corners immediately drooped, which made her look quite cute against her pretty face. She turned her head away in displeasure, "Then just pretend I never said anything."

"Well... if that's the case, how can I let down your kindness, Nanchuan?"

The fear of not wanting to face Mina Sakai finally defeated Cheng Ping Changyi. He handed the information to Minamikawa Yuna and pretended to treat her to a meal.

Nanchuan Yuna just smiled, shook her head and left holding the information.

Just when Cheng Pingchang breathed a sigh of relief, a burst of happy laughter suddenly rang out in the office. He looked at his colleagues in confusion, somewhat bewildered.

"Jirohira, you're such an idiot. You've been completely fooled."

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Cheng Ping Changyi finally came to his senses. He was being controlled by this woman, Minamikawa Yuna. Just when he made up his mind to prove himself, he immediately agreed to help others. Wasn't this tantamount to implicitly admitting the fact that he was really afraid of Minister Sakai?

He held his head and shouted in frustration, wanting to get the information back to save his dignity as a man, but he saw that Minamikawa Yuna had already walked to the door of the minister's office and was about to raise her hand to knock.

……

In the minister's office that Ling Chengpingchang was terrified, Minister Sakai, who was considered cold, arrogant and domineering in the eyes of everyone, was kneeling on the ground with her legs together. Her thin and transparent black stockings were pulled, revealing her legs that were slightly blue and swollen due to being in contact with the ground for too long.

In front of another man, she was like a puppy who was willing to be servile and do her best to please her master just for a bite of food.

The woman's cheekbones rubbed rhythmically against the inner wall of her thighs. Her superb and skillful technique made the man sitting in the office chair unable to move.

Boom boom boom!

The knocks on the door clearly penetrated into the house and of course fell into the man's ears. It was like a gun was pointed at his forehead, and his nerves were tense in an instant.

The heart in the chest was already beating wildly, and was suddenly pulled by such a shock. The whole body instantly tensed up like a strong bow that was fully drawn.

"hiss……"

A woman's voice came from below. It was obvious that the man's sudden action hurt her. She gasped, and it was unclear whether she was blaming the man or she was out of breath. Her big round peach blossom eyes rolled up uncontrollably, revealing large patches of white.

"Someone...someone is coming in? Let me go!"

Seeing that the woman remained indifferent, Shimizu Hiroki almost collapsed. The urge to loudly warn Mina Sakai only turned into a low, suppressed hoarse voice.

"What is Yuuki afraid of? Just let her wait. I've missed her for so long, how could I be willing to waste such a good opportunity?"

Mina Sakai smiled charmingly, with a seductive red in the corners of her eyes, and was about to lower her head again.

"Besides, Yuuki has been resisting all along, right? If he is so unwilling to give it to me, is he pitying me?"

"I just... don't feel anything."

"Really?" Mina Sakai laughed more wantonly and with more strength.

Hiroki Shimizu gritted his teeth, and his handsome and fair face became ferocious. He was unsatisfied in his heart, but he had to hold it back because he didn't want Mina Sakai to succeed.

"Anyway, I won't let Yuki go until I get what I want."

"Okay, okay, you greedy woman!"

Shimizu Hiroki laughed angrily. He was so eager to get out of this predicament that he had no other choice but to temporarily satisfy the other party.

He relaxed his body, closed his eyes, and slumped down in the chair.

……

"Eh? Section Chief Shimizu? Why are you still in Director Sakai's office?"

Looking at Shimizu Yuuki who suddenly walked out of the office, Minamikawa Yuna was startled. She had seen him walk in with her own eyes an hour and a half ago.

"Well, there's a lot going on at work, so we've been discussing this for a while, so I'm leaving now."

Shimizu Yuki nodded, looking hurried. Without waiting for the other party to speak again, he left without looking back.

Tch... Why are you pretending? You must have been scolded by the director again. Is it so great to be a section chief?

In front of Minister Sakai, don't you have to bow and scrape and try to please him?

Nanchuan Yuna cursed in her heart, turned and walked into the minister's office, and she immediately frowned.

It's so stuffy, hot, and humid, and a little...

She sniffed the tip of her nose and smelled a very nice, pleasant smell, like the sweet fragrance of roses mixed with some indescribable strange fragrance.

Did Minister Sakai change her perfume? Minamikawa Yuna didn't notice her subconscious swallowing of saliva.

"Nanchuan, go open the window for me and get some fresh air."

"Okay...Okay, Minister Sakai."

Minamikawa Yuna hurriedly agreed. She put the information on Mina Sakai's desk and saw the woman sitting upright in the office chair with a pair of slender legs raised up, which made her envious. She was wiping her red lips with a tissue.

"Um... Minister, your stockings seem to be snagged?" she immediately asked politely.

"Really? Maybe it was accidentally broken."

Mina Sakai glanced casually at her swollen knee and answered nonchalantly.

73. The beginning of lies

After get off work, Hiroki Shimizu declined the department's weekly dinner and rushed back to the hospital without stopping.

He was very worried about Erika's condition, and he didn't want her to stay alone in the cold hospital, being sad because she wouldn't be able to see him the first time she woke up.

Shimizu Hiroki would not blame Erika for knowing that she was experiencing physical discomfort, but still forcing herself to endure the pain and not tell her husband until her body could no longer bear it...

Two years ago, their newly married family was faced with a serious crisis because of Erika's illness. They spent almost all their savings and had to move from central Tokyo to the suburbs.

Although things took a huge turn for the better later on, the two, who had previously felt extremely painful because of the possibility of being separated by the Yin and Yang and were unwilling to face the reality, sincerely felt the strong gap between returning from hell and heaven.

They were immersed in the peace and joy of surviving the disaster, and both sides seldom took the initiative to mention this not-so-pleasant memory. Over time, it almost became an unspeakable taboo topic.

On the surface, Hiroki Shimizu pretended that he knew nothing, but he always knew that Erika was just pretending that everything was fine and nothing had happened. In fact, she was still trapped in the endless entanglement of guilt and self-blame and couldn't extricate herself.

But he was really worried at the time, so he asked a psychologist to do a test on Erika on the pretext of something, but he got another shocking piece of bad news.

After his wife recovered from the illness, she had a very strong suicidal tendency and often regretted why she did not die from the illness. She was unwilling to drag this frail, useless, bottomless body into dragging him down.

While feeling his hair stand on end and cold sweat running down his back, Hiroki Shimizu also put in a lot of effort and hard work to stabilize Erika's poor mental condition over the past two years.

Their marriage relationship has finally come to where it is now, and is slowly getting better. It is not earth-shattering, but for them it is unforgettable and precious.

This is how it should be, everything should be like this...

Hiroki Shimizu could have fulfilled his mother's last wish. He and the woman he loved would sail towards a free and happy future together, amid the ebb and flow of their turbulent love for each other.

Until... until that group of lingering evil women reappeared, completely disrupting his originally ordinary and stable life, and there were signs that it was on the verge of collapse.

……

After standing outside the ward for about a quarter of an hour, Hiroki Shimizu stared through the glass window at his wife who was lying on the bed with her back to him.

The woman's back looked so small from a distance, her head was round and cute, and her body was as soft as a pool of spring water...

He wanted to rush in and hug Erika tightly, but his body still had the scent of a woman's roses, as well as those dirty and ugly marks that he hadn't had time to wipe off...

Shimizu Hiroki knew very well that he was already impure, so he was absolutely unwilling to defile the pure and innocent Erika.

He quietly moved his hand away from the cold handle, and then rested it on the glass window, his index finger gently tracing the outline of Erika's body...

A nurse who was hurrying in the corridor passed by here and glanced to see a handsome man with a listless look and disheveled clothes standing at the door of the ward.

The man suddenly smiled, and the childlike innocent smile on his face was filled with unspeakable happiness and comfort.

But the frown on his face seemed to be filled with endless pain, helplessness, and sorrow...

……

"woke up?"

Hiroki Shimizu stayed by the bedside until dark, and was the first to notice that his wife wrinkled her nose, hummed a few times in a baby voice, and was about to wake up from her sleep.

“…Yuuki-kun?!”

After her brain briefly stopped working, Erika immediately opened her sleepy eyes and shouted in surprise and joy.

"Yeah, I'll come over as soon as I get off work."

"You've been waiting for a long time, right? Oh~ why didn't you wake me up?"

"I see Erika is sleeping so soundly, I don't want to disturb your sweet dream."

Erika pounded the quilt in annoyance. She had always disliked the hospital environment. She always felt depressed and heavy, making it hard for her to breathe.

Especially after Shimizu Hiroki left, unprecedented longing lingered in her heart, making her extremely irritable and uneasy.

It was as if her husband did not go to work in the company, but fell into a dangerous place and was about to be eaten by a group of ferocious beasts until not even a bone was left.

I couldn't sleep, but how come it's already dark? Doesn't that mean I'll have less time to spend with Yuuki-kun? I'm so disappointed.

"So Yuuki-kun is going to work tomorrow too? Of course... I don't mean to force Yuuki-kun to stay with me."

"Well, let me check my schedule. If the company isn't busy tomorrow..."

Erika watched as Shimizu Hiroki took out his cell phone, looking as if she didn't care much, but she couldn't help but stretch her beautiful white neck to take a peek.

Shimizu Hiroki, who had already noticed all this, suddenly showed the screen of his mobile phone which was not locked at all.

"What are you looking at, Erika? You say you don't care, but you really want me to stay, right?"

"me……"

Erika, who was caught red-handed, blushed instantly, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.

"Okay, I've taken three days off from work, and I'll be with Erika the whole time."

Seeing Erika shaking her head, acting shy, and revealing the innocence of a young girl, Shimizu Hiroki was feasting his eyes, but he didn't dare to tease Erika too much.

Even if it is a white and tender little white rabbit that looks easy to bully, it will bite if it is cornered, right?

"Then...then I don't want to stay in the hospital."

Erika took advantage of the situation and snuggled into Shimizu Yuki's arms and acted coquettishly, humming like a little kitten turning over and showing its belly.

"Just listen to Erika, we will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." Shimizu Hiroki vowed.

"Yeah! Yuuki-kun is the best!"

Erika was satisfied now, but she thought about her illness and her face, which had turned rosy due to excitement, quickly turned pale again.

"This hospitalization will cost a lot of money, right? Will I need to change to new medicine for follow-up treatment? Will that be very expensive..."

"It's time to change the medicine, but it's not too expensive. I've already paid the medical bills."

The man looked calm, without revealing a single flaw, and he said with a smile.

"There is another good news. Once you have finished taking the new medicine and your body has recovered, we will have performed the surgery. By then, Erika will be fully healed..."

"Really?!"

Erika was overjoyed and did not think that Shimizu Hiroki would lie to her. Although she rarely asked about or controlled her husband's income, she was at least very clear about the family's financial situation.

Apart from the necessary medical expenses for her, we barely make ends meet every month, and can hardly save any money, and have no ability to resist risks at all.

She thought that it was impossible for Shimizu Hiroki to have extra money out of thin air, unless...

"Wait a minute, Yuuki-kun didn't secretly borrow money from those very bad gangsters at high interest rates for my illness like he did before, right?"

Recalling some not-so-nice memories from the past, Erika suddenly frowned her pretty and delicate brows and asked abruptly.

"of course not!"
