After the Divorce My Ex Wife’s Nemesis Sets Her Sights on Me - Chapter 8:
Chapter 8: Who Allowed You to Wear His Robe?
“Achuan, you’re back?”
Just as Qin Chuan stood there in a daze, Su Qinghuan’s pleasantly surprised voice came from the stairway.
“You left last night and didn’t come back. I was worried about you all night…”
At this moment, Su Qinghuan looked like a newly married wife, full of joy.
Although a fierce conflict had occurred yesterday, she was surprisingly not as angry as expected.
Instead, she was filled with concern for Qin Chuan.
Especially the cold, indifferent look in his eyes when he left, which had brought her an unprecedented sense of panic.
It was the first time Qin Chuan had ever been so furious with her. It felt as though he was truly disappointed in their relationship.
She had not slept all night, reflecting on many things.
Yesterday had been their third wedding anniversary. Qin Chuan had prepared everything at home.
Yet she had brought Gu Yunshen right in front of him, which indeed carried a hint of provocation.
Perhaps Qin Chuan’s anger had been justified.
Seeing him again this morning, Su Qinghuan finally let out a sigh of relief, a strange sense of joy rising in her heart.
“Achuan, you didn’t rest well last night. Eat something later and get some good sleep. I’ll stay home with you.”
Qin Chuan looked up, his gaze meeting hers.
Su Qinghuan was wearing a high-end Chanel silk robe, elegant yet seductive, accentuating her graceful figure.
This robe was not only a luxury item but also a limited edition, which he had spent over a million yuan to acquire at auction for her.
Every time she wore it, Qin Chuan would feel a surge of heat in his heart.
But now, that feeling was gone. Looking at her felt like looking at a stranger.
Qin Chuan frowned, impatience flickering in his eyes. “I came back to take some things.”
He turned his head and walked straight toward the bedroom.
Su Qinghuan’s face turned slightly pale. She quickly grabbed his arm, her beautiful eyes fixed on his face, a trace of pleading in them.
“Achuan, can you not be like this?”
“It was my fault. I forgot yesterday was our wedding anniversary.”
“I shouldn’t have brought Yunshen home. I’ll arrange for him to stay somewhere else today. Can you stop being angry?”
“I’ll make it up to you today. Let’s celebrate our anniversary properly, alright?”
For some reason, her voice trembled slightly.
After thinking all night, she had indeed realized many things. She knew she had been wrong.
Her words stirred a faint ripple in Qin Chuan’s heart.
Five years together, three years of marriage. Feelings were not so easily severed.
But he had already seen things clearly.
If she had said these words yesterday, there might still have been a chance.
Now, he no longer wished to waste any more words.
He pulled his arm free and walked toward the bedroom, his steps heavy. Each step felt like a farewell.
The bedroom door was slightly ajar. The moment Qin Chuan pushed it open, a strange scent of cologne mixed with an ambiguous atmosphere rushed toward him.
His gaze swept across the bed. The sheets had already been replaced.
What struck him even more was the men’s Rolex watch placed boldly on the bedside table, glaringly ironic.
Qin Chuan’s heart skipped a beat. Had they gotten together right after he left last night?
Was Su Qinghuan really that desperate?
On their marital bed?
“What, you left yesterday, and now you’re back today?”
“Did you come back to kneel and apologize?”
A provocative voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Qin Chuan turned to see Gu Yunshen leaning against the door, his head wrapped in bandages.
He was wearing a dark blue bathrobe.
Qin Chuan’s eyes turned cold instantly. This bastard actually dared to wear his robe?
It felt utterly ridiculous. Was he really trying to take over everything, even wearing his clothes?
Noticing Qin Chuan’s gaze, Gu Yunshen deliberately tugged at the robe, a smug smile on his face. “Mr. Qin, Huanhuan said I look better in it than you.”
“What do you think?” His tone was light, full of provocation.
Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, anger blazing within him.
He suppressed his fury, his voice cold and commanding. “I’ll say it once. Take it off.”
He had bought that robe along with Su Qinghuan’s sleepwear.
He would rather let a dog wear his clothes than this trash.
Seeing the anger in Qin Chuan’s eyes, Gu Yunshen cautiously stepped back, though his face remained mocking. “Huanhuan told me to wear it. If you don’t want me to, have her tell me. You’re not qualified.”
“After all, you’re just a tool she uses to pass the time.”
Qin Chuan’s breathing stopped abruptly. A sharp pain twisted in his stomach, as if an invisible hand had gripped it tightly.
He took a deep breath, his voice hoarse like a wounded beast. “Did you sleep on this bed?”
Gu Yunshen smiled mockingly, his white teeth glinting coldly under the light. “Mr. Qin, what do you think?”
The air seemed to freeze.
In the next moment, Qin Chuan grabbed Gu Yunshen by the throat and slammed him against the wall.
“Are you asking for death? Was yesterday’s beating not enough? You still dare to provoke me?”
Qin Chuan had no patience for such tactics.
Since this man kept provoking him, he had no problem beating him again.
If words didn’t work, fists would.
At that moment, a startled voice came from outside. “Qin Chuan, what are you doing? Can you stop fighting first?”
Qin Chuan stared at Su Qinghuan, his voice filled with pain and accusation. “Is this bed something he’s allowed to sleep on?”
Su Qinghuan’s face turned pale instantly. She immediately understood the misunderstanding.
This was their marital bed, specially customized from the John Empire.
Back when she had been paralyzed after the accident, Qin Chuan had stayed by this bed day and night, patiently helping her with rehabilitation.
This bed had witnessed their love, their marriage, their happiness, and their romance. It carried immense meaning.
She hurriedly explained, “Achuan, you misunderstood. Really misunderstood. I just changed the sheets…”
She had cried all night, feeling both pain and grievance. The sheets had been soaked, so she changed them this morning.
Who would have thought Gu Yunshen would enter the bedroom at such a time and cause another misunderstanding?
She truly could not understand how things had gone from fine just a few days ago to this state.
Taking advantage of Qin Chuan’s distraction, Gu Yunshen struggled and shouted, “Let go of me, bastard, let go!”
Qin Chuan roared and slapped him hard across the face.
The already bandaged face swelled again.
Perhaps because of his anger, his right eye grew hot once more.
Qin Chuan suddenly saw something strange.
From Gu Yunshen’s body extended numerous faint karmic threads.
Most of them floated outward through the window, leading to unknown places.
Some emitted a faint glow.
One of them was connected to Su Qinghuan, glowing with a vivid crimson color.
Qin Chuan’s expression darkened. The woman in the red bridal robe from last night had said these were karmic threads, proving there was indeed a connection between Gu Yunshen and Su Qinghuan.
And it was far stronger than ordinary ties.
Su Qinghuan herself also had many karmic threads, one of which connected to Qin Chuan.
But compared to the others, the thread between them was much thicker, more solid, and shone with a dazzling golden light.
According to the woman, these threads represented karmic connections, and their thickness and color reflected their depth.
Su Qinghuan was startled by the golden glow in Qin Chuan’s right eye. “Achuan, what’s wrong with your eye?”
Her voice carried concern. “Should you go to the hospital? It looks injured.”
Qin Chuan released Gu Yunshen and said coldly, “It’s none of your concern, Miss Su.”
He took out the divorce agreement and slapped it heavily into her hands. “Sign it.”
“From now on, we go our separate ways and live our own lives.”
Su Qinghuan’s expression changed drastically. She screamed, “You want to divorce me?”
“What right do you have to divorce me? It’s just a misunderstanding. What right do you have?”
“You think you can scare me with this? Do you think I’m afraid of you?”
“I won’t sign!”
She clutched the agreement tightly, her whole body trembling.
Anger, disappointment, and indescribable emotions burned fiercely in her heart.
Tears welled up in her eyes, grievance and unwillingness choking her throat.
“What right do you have to divorce me? How have I, Su Qinghuan, ever wronged you?”
Over the years, she might have been strict, but she had never wronged him.
Why? Why divorce her?
How dare he?
At that moment, Gu Yunshen suddenly sneered. “Qin Chuan, at least you know your place. Divorce is fine, but you must leave with nothing. Don’t even think about taking a single yuan from Huanhuan!”
“Not only that, you must kneel and apologize to both of us, and compensate Huanhuan for her lost youth. Otherwise, we will never forgive you!”
“Shut up!” Su Qinghuan suddenly screamed. “This has nothing to do with you!”
Gu Yunshen froze, his face turning ugly. “Huanhuan, I’m just worried he’ll take your property…”
“He’s a useless piece of trash. He’s not worthy of you, you…”
“Slap!”
Before he could finish, Su Qinghuan struck him across the face.
“Who allowed you to speak nonsense here?”
“And who allowed you to wear his robe?”
