Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Women Should Take the Initiative

"I think you’re truly insane! I stay home alone every day, and yet you suspect I have another man outside. If this marriage can continue, then so be it, but if not, let’s divorce!"

These words left Wang Jun momentarily speechless. He stared at Zhao Xinmei for a long time, unable to respond.

Then, he suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Don’t think I don’t know—you just want to divorce me and marry that bastard, right? Let me make this clear today: I will never divorce you in my entire life."

Zhao Xinmei remained silent. She closed her eyes and turned away.

Faced with her icy demeanor, Wang Jun growled again in a fierce tone.

"Let me tell you, don’t think about using pregnancy to provoke me again. I’m not scared! Worst case, you give birth to the child, and I’ll raise it. If anyone dares claim it, I’ll fight to the death!"

After saying this, he got off the bed and walked into the bathroom.

About half an hour later, he came out with a frown.

But Wang Jun didn’t return to the bedroom; instead, he went straight to the guest room to sleep.

Hearing the noise outside, Zhao Xinmei covered her face with her delicate hands and began to cry softly.

By the next morning, when she got up to make breakfast, her hair was still messy.

Her eyes had dark circles, clearly showing she hadn’t slept well.

During breakfast, even Chen Bin sensed that something was off.

However, he didn’t dare to ask too much.

After eating, Wang Jun took him and got ready to drive back to the county.

Even as they left, Wang Jun didn’t say a single word to Zhao Xinmei.

Staring at the deserted living room, Zhao Xinmei couldn’t take it anymore. She smashed the rice bowl on the ground and broke down crying.

She couldn’t understand why things had come to this.

When she first married Wang Jun, everything had been so different...

On the road to Qingshi County, Chen Bin suddenly noticed Huang Ming’s car.

He couldn’t help but say, "Godfather, it looks like Huang Ming is heading that way."

Wang Jun turned his head, giving it a faint glance.

"He’s definitely going to see Wu Liang."

He nodded slightly, and the atmosphere fell silent again.

Just as Wang Jun said, Huang Ming indeed went to Wu Liang’s house.

As the two drank tea, Wu Liang asked bluntly.

"How’s the effort going with Xu Ruoxuan?"

With confidence brimming, Huang Ming nodded. "The progress is going smoothly. It might not take much longer..."

Before he could finish, Wu Liang waved his hand and interrupted him.

"I don’t care how you do it, but you must settle it within this month!"

"That urgent?"

"Yes. If it drags past this month, pulling her in will be meaningless."

Saying this, Wu Liang gazed at Huang Ming intently.

"If you really want to be the secretary of the County Committee in Qingshi County, you better put in the effort."

A sense of urgency overwhelmed Huang Ming, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Please rest assured, Mayor, I will not disappoint you!"

Shortly after, the two exchanged a few more casual words before Huang Ming left in such a rush that he didn’t even stay for a meal.

Arriving at Xie Shan’s home, he found that Xie Chujing had just returned from work.

Without hesitation, Huang Ming said directly to Xie Shan.

"You should excuse us for a bit; I need to talk to Chujing privately."

"Alright!"

Xie Shan nodded and went to the balcony to smoke by himself.

Looking at Xie Chujing, Huang Ming came straight to the point. "How are things progressing between you and Chen Bin?"

"Uh... overall, it’s going fairly well."

"Specifically? Have the two of you had any deeper interactions?"

At this question, Xie Chujing’s face flushed, and she lowered her head unwilling to answer.

Seeing this, Huang Ming pressed on. "I know I shouldn’t be prying into your personal affairs, but as far as I’ve heard, Secretary Wang is planning to introduce a match to Chen Bin. If you don’t act quickly, it might be too late."

As expected, Xie Chujing’s head shot up, her whole demeanor suddenly tense.

"How could that happen?"

"This is perfectly normal. After all, excellent men are in high demand everywhere. Moreover, I heard Secretary Wang’s introduction is a beautiful young woman. If Chen Bin meets her, I’m afraid you’ll be out of the picture."

In truth, Xie Chujing only had a fondness for Chen Bin and hadn’t reached the stage of deep affection.

But facing Huang Ming’s urging now, she felt like her thoughts were in complete disarray, and she had no clue what to do.

"Godfather, what should I do?"

"Be proactive, of course!"

"But... these things are usually initiated by men. I... I really can’t."

"Chujing, you’re a grown adult now. Pursuing happiness is your right. If you let shyness hold you back and lose such an outstanding man, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!"

After finishing his words, Huang Ming didn’t linger and left immediately.

When Xie Shan returned from the balcony, he immediately asked what was going on.

Being the straightforward girl she was, Xie Chujing didn’t hide anything from her father.

She recounted the entire conversation without missing a detail.

Frowning slightly, Xie Shan instantly sensed something off.

It was entirely normal for Huang Ming to show concern by introducing potential partners to Xie Chujing.

But why was he so invested in her romantic affairs?

Could there be something fishy going on?

Yet, after thinking it through, Xie Shan recalled that Huang Ming was a county leader with Wu Liang’s powerful backing.

Logically, there was no reason for him to butter up to Chen Bin.

Maybe, Huang Ming truly saw it from a godfather’s perspective and believed Chen Bin was a rising star, which was why he kept pushing Chujing.

As Xie Shan was lost in thought, Xie Chujing asked anxiously.

"Dad, what should I do?"

"That depends on whether you truly like Chen Bin. As your father, all I can do is give you my unconditional support."

Xie Shan said this because he too saw Chen Bin as a promising prospect.

He even speculated that Huang Ming’s eagerness stemmed from a desire to align with Chen Bin for political reasons.

That, in turn, confirmed that Chen Bin truly had potential.

Having such a man as a son-in-law would be an excellent choice.

Nodding slightly, Xie Chujing quietly walked into her room alone.

She held herself to high standards in relationships, which was why all her previous dates ended unsuccessfully.

Chen Bin’s looks matched her type, but he hadn’t given her that spark of excitement yet.

Now, with Huang Ming’s constant urging, she suddenly found Chen Bin more and more aligned with her ideal image.

If Chen Bin made the first move, she could always play hard to get.

But for her to take the initiative—she found the thought incredibly embarrassing.

The notion that she, a proper lady, would have to flirt boldly with a man made Xie Chujing want to crawl into a hole.

After wrestling with her thoughts the entire afternoon, she finally picked up the phone and called Chen Bin.

"It’s Saturday today. Why don’t you come shopping with me?"

Chen Bin, lying idly on his bed, immediately responded.

"Sure. Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No need for that. Let’s meet in half an hour at Qingshi Square."

Hanging up, Xie Chujing quickly applied makeup and slipped into a vibrant purple dress, exuding energy.

Before heading out, she opened her drawer and took out two condoms.

These were from a health awareness campaign at her workplace not long ago.

She had casually pocketed them at the time—little did she know they’d come in handy so soon...
