Qin Wanshu sat in the passenger seat. When Han Shibin fastened her seatbelt, he kissed Qin Wanshu's cheek affectionately before returning to his seat. With her eyes closed, Qin Wanshu seemed to be taking a moment to rest as Han Shibin went back to the driver's seat. She knew she didn't want to talk to Han Shibin at this moment.
Han Shibin originally intended to say something, but he refrained when he saw Qin Wanshu close her eyes. He gazed at the delicate profile of Qin Wanshu, finding her to be a goddess-like presence. Even after being married for more than three years, he still couldn't figure out this woman.
The car was very quiet. After a long while, Han Shibin couldn't contain himself. He knew Qin Wanshu was not asleep
"You seem a bit strange this time..." Han Shibin spoke, as he was relatively sensitive to Qin Wanshu's emotions.
After a while of having no response from Qin Wanshu, Han Shibin felt that Qin Wanshu would not answer his question, but then she slowly opened her eyes.
"What's so strange?" Qin Wanshu asked calmly.
Han Shibin also fell silent. He still hadn't figured out what was wrong.
"If you're tired, you can continue sleeping. I'll wake you up when we get home," Han Shibin said considerately, thinking perhaps he was being overly sensitive.
“Mm." Qin Wanshu responded softly and continued to close her eyes.
Han Shibin was in a very bad mood. He had not been in a better mood since he came back.
After arriving home, Qin Wanshu went to take a shower first. At that moment, her phone rang.
Han Shibin stared at Qin Wanshu's bag for a while, hesitated briefly, and then opened her bag, taking out her phone.
‘Little Fairy’, Han Shibin saw the name on the screen, which didn't appear in his wife's social circle. Without hesitation, he answered the call.
Han Shibin answered the call but didn't speak immediately. The person on the other end also remained silent for a while. After a long pause, Han Shibin finally spoke, "Who is this? I'm her husband. She's taking a shower. Is there something you need?"
Upon hearing Han Shibin's voice, Zuo Qinghuan immediately hung up the phone. At this moment, she was glad she had foresight and didn't speak first. Well, Zuo Qinghuan admitted she had bad intentions and caused trouble for Qin Wanshu.
Seeing the other person hang up, Han Shibin furrowed his brows. The person's identity was becoming more mysterious. It was already strange enough that they stayed silent for a while, but hanging up after hearing him speak added another layer of suspicion. At this moment, he really wanted to know who this "Little Fairy" was.
After a while, Qin Wanshu finally came out of the bathroom. Seeing Han Shibin holding her phone and lost in thought, she frowned slightly. She had always respected Han Shibin's privacy, and he shouldn't be going through her phone either.

When Han Shibin saw Qin Wanshu come out, he immediately explained: "Your phone kept ringing, so I answered it. It was really strange. The other party didn't speak when they called. When they heard me speak, they hung up." Han Shibin pretended to be nonchalant.
"Who was it?" Qin Wanshu naturally understood Han Shibin's probing, and she also guessed that it was a call from Zuo Qinghuan. However, she casually asked, feeling a bit amused inside. The situation seemed somewhat funny – a call from the other woman, and Han Shibin acts as if he was the one being cheated on.
"Little Fairy, that's an interesting name. Who's Little Fairy?" Han Shibin pretended to be curious.
Qin Wanshu didn't know what expression to put on at the moment. Her cheating husband asked her about the other woman. Qin Wanshu felt that everything had become absurd since she encountered Zuo Qinghuan. Yet, she allowed this absurdity to persist.
"A new little friend I met, a distant relative's daughter from the Qin family. She's very cute, and she likes being called Little Fairy," Qin Wanshu lied smoothly, not missing a beat. Facing Han Shibin's skeptical gaze, there was no trace of a flaw.
"How old is she?" Han Shibin believed most of it, considering the extensive branches of the Qin family, and it made sense that he might not know all the relatives.
"About three years old," Qin Wanshu said casually, smoothing out each question Han Shibin had since answering the call. It was a child, no wonder they didn't speak on the phone; perhaps the child couldn't operate a phone.
"A cute little kid, huh? If my wife likes it, maybe we should have one too someday," Han Shibin said, half-serious and half-playful, looking at Qin Wanshu with a smile.
If it weren't for the unexpected appearance of Zuo Qinghuan, Qin Wanshu had planned to have a child around the age of thirty. Her entire life was structured according to this plan. However, after learning about Han Shibin's affair, Qin Wanshu abandoned the idea.
"Let's talk about it later," Qin Wanshu said in a relaxed tone.
Han Shibin was somewhat surprised by Qin Wanshu's refusal. He had assumed that she, being a relatively traditional woman, would like children. However, if Qin Wanshu wasn't interested in having children, he wouldn't force her. After all, a goddess like her shouldn't be bothered with the hassle of having children. Still, the Han family needed an heir. There were plenty of women willing to bear his children. Initially, Han Shibin felt that, apart from Qin Wanshu, no one else was qualified to be the mother of his child.
Han Shibin watched Qin Wanshu sitting at the vanity, blowing her hair dry. The woman, elegant and beautiful, was incredibly charming. If Qin Wanshu had any flaw, it was her inability to fulfill his desires. Despite being an enticing and appealing woman, Han Shibin couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
"Wife, tonight, I want..." Han Shibin embraced Qin Wanshu from behind, his voice trailing off with a hint of desire.
"I'm very tired, and I don't want to," Qin Wanshu rejected without a second thought. While Qin Wanshu used to occasionally endure and comply with Han Shibin's requests, at this moment, she felt there was no need to make such sacrifices any more. After Han Shibin betrayed their marriage, she no longer felt any responsibility towards him. Qin Wanshu had always considered herself not as a saint but as someone extremely harsh, especially towards those close to her.
"It's been a long time since we did anything. I'm only thirty-three, a healthy and vigorous man. If we continue like this, what do you expect me to do?" Han Shibin, already in a bad mood, now felt somewhat annoyed.
"Perhaps you can find another woman," Qin Wanshu looked at Han Shibin, smiling with a smile so faint it could hardly be seen.
Han Shibin was momentarily stunned. It was the first time Qin Wanshu suggested finding another woman, leaving him momentarily at a loss.
"Are you serious?" Han Shibin asked uncertainly.
“Mm." Qin Wanshu nodded.
"You won't blame me?" Han Shibin continued to inquire. If Qin Wanshu was willing to let him be with other women, it might be a solution to ease his hardship. The fear was that Qin Wanshu might see through any subtle signs.
"No, I would bless you both," Qin Wanshu smiled and said.
Upon hearing this, Han Shibin felt that Qin Wanshu was indeed testing him. The thought of Qin Wanshu divorcing him if she found out about his affair made Han Shibin feel the need to be more careful.
"Qin Wanshu, have you ever loved me?" Han Shibin asked.
"Didn't you say it doesn't matter whether I love you or not, as long as you love me?" Qin Wanshu asked in return. When they got married, Han Shibin had asked the same question, and she had replied, "I don't know what love is, maybe I don't love you." That was how Han Shibin had answered back then, and she had agreed to marry him.
"But sometimes, I get tired," she continued. Three years had passed, and hadn't Qin Wanshu fallen in love with him yet? Han Shibin couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
"You still have a choice," Qin Wanshu looked into Han Shibin's eyes and said. Perhaps she had been wrong from the beginning.
"No, I won't regret my choice," Han Shibin said firmly. He truly, genuinely loved Qin Wanshu, despite some imperfections.
Qin Wanshu didn't respond, perhaps thinking that one day, she could set him free.
Author's Note:
On Christmas Day, there are no activities for people to get around…
Unless it's the weekend, I generally won't post updates after midnight. If it's past midnight, I won't update.
In the future, when Han Shibin finds out that the little fairy is Zuo Qinghuan and rolls the sheets with his wife, it will be terrible to even think about it. Well, the author is really a vulgar person…
Probably Chapter 27 will be like V. I would like to thank everyone who supports Mingye.
