Chapter 169: Two Men Fighting Over a Woman

Zhou Yiru wanted to urge him to just get it over with, to sign the divorce agreement, go to the registry office, pick up the certificate, and not drag things out in court.

Wen Zhan's recently suppressed anger ignited once again because of these few meddlesome words, "Mr. Zhou, did you return to the country from far away just to steal someone else's wife? Since you care so much about your reputation, aren't you afraid I'll expose this and ruin you, leaving you worthless?"

Zhou Yiru had wanted to reply, "There's nothing between Wanqing and me"—but then he thought of how Mu Wanqing had already used him as a shield, and if he now exposed the truth, her previous "lie" would collapse on its own.

Suddenly feeling trapped in a web of his own making, he glanced at Mu Wanqing, saw her face flushing with embarrassment and her eyes full of awkwardness, guilt written between her brows. His heart softened, and he suddenly felt that any sacrifice was worth it.
