Chapter 212
Qin Fei’Er couldn’t believe it.
She’d heard plenty of stories over the past year about Liu Yun and her husband fighting about having kids.
But from what she remembered, Liu Yun’s husband was a decent man.
They were both sons of wealthy families, but Liu Yun’s husband was a completely different person from Su Qianqian’s husband, that notorious playboy.
The former had been completely devoted to his family since marrying Liu Yun, never giving the temptations of the outside world a second glance, no matter how alluring.
The latter, on the other hand, was fooling around with other women on his wedding day, to say nothing of the time since.
Su Qianqian was broad-minded and took things in stride, so she didn’t care.
But Liu Yun, like her husband, was the type of person who could say "no" to temptation.
So much so that in the eyes of their friends, the two had always been an enviable "model couple."
But now, Liu Yun had been unfaithful right before her eyes, while her own husband had gone and gotten another woman pregnant.
Qin Fei’Er lamented, "How did things turn out this way?"
"Before we married, so many men far better than him pursued me," Liu Yun said with a bitter smile. "For his sake, I didn’t just turn them down; I cut off all contact with other men. I wouldn’t even exchange more than a few words with the male relatives of my patients."
"After we got married, my world revolved around him. No matter how busy I was with work, I always made time for him."
"I thought our trouble having children was just a major hurdle in our marriage, one we could overcome if we worked together."
"But what about him? He gave me an ultimatum, a deadline. If he had waited until that day and then decided to divorce me, I could have accepted it. After all, it is true I couldn’t give him any children."
"But the deadline hasn’t even passed, and he’s already had a child with someone else. What is that? Infidelity? An affair? No, it’s an absolute, outright betrayal."
The angrier Liu Yun became as she spoke, the more an icy chill spread across her beautiful face.
This wasn’t an act; her emotions were raw and genuine.
Having gone through something similar, Qin Fei’Er could viscerally understand the pain and agony Liu Yun was feeling.
She stepped forward, taking Liu Yun’s hand with a look of heartache. "You silly girl, a man like that isn’t worth being angry over."
Liu Yun gave a self-mocking laugh. "I know the logic. I know scum like him isn’t worth my anger. But when it’s happening to you, how can you possibly remain unaffected?"
"I want to divorce him, but then I think, a simple divorce won’t be enough to satisfy the hatred in my heart. I’ve thought about hiring someone to beat up the other woman, but hurting her wouldn’t bring me any real benefit."
"So... you went to Xiaochen?"
"Yes!" Liu Yun paused before continuing, "I’m sorry, Fei’Er. It was me who initiated things with Xiaochen. I started to like him during my treatment yesterday. As it went on, my feelings grew."
"I kept my body only for that bastard for so long, but ever since he learned I was sick and couldn’t have children, he hasn’t touched me."
"You’ve been without a man for a long time, too. You must understand how I feel, right? At this awkward age, not having a man to love and desire you... it’s truly painful. Faced with my husband’s cheating, this was the only method of revenge I could think of. So, Xiaochen and I..."
"You don’t have to say any more. I get it." Qin Fei’Er gently patted Liu Yun’s hand. "You know what I’ve been through, so I know exactly how much you’re hurting."
"I also know how painful it is to not be loved and desired by a man. I’m a little surprised you went this far, but I understand."
"Fei’Er... you’re really not going to blame me for stealing Chenyang from you?"
"What are you talking about? Xiaochen is just my tenant. It’s not like you’re stealing a client from me, why would I blame you?"
Liu Yun asked meaningfully, "In your eyes, is he really just a tenant? Is it that simple?"
"I..." Qin Fei’Er wanted to say yes, but the words caught in her throat, choked by a mix of guilt and reluctance.
’Of course, Chenyang was more than just a tenant to her.’
’He was the man she hoped could finally satisfy her.’
’He was also the savior who had stabilized Lin Xiaowei and Li Qiang’s marriage!’
But she couldn’t say any of this out loud.
Her gaze flickered away, and she forced a change of subject. "Um... you two carry on. I’m going to go for a walk."
Seeing Qin Fei’Er turn to leave, Liu Yun quickly grabbed her hand. "Fei’Er, you want Chenyang to satisfy you too, don’t you?"
