When his eyes touched Zhang Yun's figure, time seemed to freeze, and Zhao Bing was completely stunned. All the lingering haze and troubles in his heart disappeared at this moment, and the only thing left in his world was the person in front of him who made him think about day and night.

Although Zhang Yun had spent several months in that closed environment, her appearance had quietly changed. Her once beautiful face had lost its former brightness and was replaced by deep fatigue and haggardness.

However, for Zhao Bing, these external changes could not shake his deep feelings for Zhang Yun. Because in his heart, no matter what Zhang Yun becomes, she will always be the unique and irreplaceable one.

Zhao Bing rushed forward like a gust of wind and hugged Zhang Yun tightly in his arms. He hugged her tightly with all his strength, as if he wanted to convey all the thoughts and concerns accumulated during the separation to her through this hug.

Feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeat, Zhao Bing's voice trembled with excitement: "I finally...finally waited for you!" This sentence is full of endless affection and expectation, as if it was a cry from the depths of the soul.

Zhang Yun was happily immersed in Zhao Bing's consistent emotions. To be honest, Ran Qi did look a little thin and weak, with slightly yellow skin, but overall he looked like a different kind of morbid beauty.

Zhang Yun had worried more than once whether Zhao Bing would fall in love with Ran Qi in the past few months. Fortunately, it turned out that this worry was completely unnecessary, and Zhao Bing's heart was still firmly tied to him.

So, Zhang Yun couldn't contain his excitement and anticipation, and couldn't wait to ask Zhao Bing: "You are divorced, right? So when can we go to get the marriage certificate?" However, what Zhang Yun did not expect was that when faced with this question, Zhao Bing became hesitant and hesitated to speak.

In fact, it was not that Zhao Bing was unwilling to divorce. On the contrary, he had long been looking forward to completely drawing a line between himself and Ran Qi, and was even willing to give up the generous betrothal gift he had given to her family.

However, the reality put him in a dilemma. First, he didn't have the courage to ask Ran Qi for a divorce, because he knew Ran Qi had a bad temper and once he angered her, he would be beaten up. Second, even if he mustered up the courage to ask for a divorce, he might not get what he wanted.

After all, Ran Qi is now enjoying a good life in his home, being served with good food and wine all day long. How could Ran Qi be willing to let go easily in such a life? What's more difficult is that if their family dares to stop taking good care of Ran Qi, the consequences will be even more disastrous. You know, they are no match for Ran Qi at all!

Seeing Zhao Bing's hesitant and hesitant look, Zhang Yun's heart instantly sank to the bottom, and an ominous premonition came to his mind: "You can't...haven't divorced her yet? At the beginning, you swore to me that you would marry me as soon as I got out. Could it be that all this was a lie you told me to deceive me?"

Zhang Yun widened his eyes and questioned Zhao Bing with an expression of disbelief, his voice unconsciously rising an octave.

"Or maybe you've actually changed your mind a long time ago and have fallen deeply in love with her? That's why you're so hesitant now and can't bear to leave her?" The more Zhang Yun thought about it, the angrier he got, his chest heaving violently.

Hearing these words, Zhao Bing hurriedly shouted that he was wronged, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Not to mention that Ran Qi's temperament has changed drastically and has become unbearable. Even if she is still the same as before, he will never have any good feelings for her! What's more, Ran Qi is a female demon who is extremely fierce when she beats people. He can't even hide from her, so how can he like her!

Thinking of this, Zhao Bing took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and patiently explained to Zhang Yun: "Yun'er, I really have always wanted to divorce Ran Qi, but the problem is that she will never agree!"

Then, Zhao Bing continued to complain as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "Not only that, Ran Qi is even more tyrannical at home, beating us up at every turn. You don't know, the last time she went crazy, she beat me so hard that I was hospitalized!"

However, Zhang Yun obviously didn't believe a word of Zhao Bing's words. With Ran Qi's thin and petite figure, he was able to beat the strong Zhao Bing into the hospital? This is just a fantasy!

"Hmph, even if you want to find an excuse to fool me, at least find a more reliable reason! Don't think I'm so easy to fool. Do you really take me as a three-year-old child?" Zhang Yun crossed his arms across his chest, staring at Zhao Bing coldly, his eyes full of disappointment and anger.

In order to gain Zhang Yun's trust, Zhao Bing gritted his teeth and slowly lifted his trouser legs up, as if he had made a great determination. As his trouser legs gradually rose, shocking scars were exposed to the air, and the purple and blue marks made people gasp.

"These... these were all caused by that fierce woman Ran Qi! I really didn't lie to you!" Zhao Bing said with a bitter face, with a hint of grievance and unwillingness in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yun was so surprised that her mouth opened wide for a long time. After a long while, she came to her senses and asked in disbelief: "She...how dare she hit someone? And a man! Isn't she afraid of being drowned by other people's spit?"

You know, Zhang Yun was an educated youth sent from the city to work in the countryside. Although she had received a certain degree of education, the feudal idea that husbands are the gods and men are superior to women was deeply rooted in her bones. In her opinion, men are the pillars of the family, as unshakable as the sky; while women should be gentle and humble, and never go against men.

However, now, Ran Qi was so bold and reckless that she dared to break the rules and do such a shocking thing. Zhang Yun couldn't help but continue to ask: "You just let her bully you like this? She beat you up like this, why didn't you report her? Are you afraid of her?"

Hearing this, Zhao Bing felt even more miserable. In fact, he also wanted to fight back and teach Ran Qi a lesson, but unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great, and every time they fought, he could only get beaten.

In addition, he was very concerned about his reputation. He felt that as a man, if he was beaten by a woman and cried for his parents, wouldn't he become a laughing stock if the news got out? So at first he chose to endure it, thinking that as long as he gave in, maybe the matter would be over.

Later, Zhao Bing finally couldn't stand it anymore! His life was like hell, and he couldn't bear this torture any longer.

So he ran around seeking help. He first went to the village committee, hoping that they could mediate the family dispute; then he went to the Women's Federation, hoping to get some effective solutions there.

However, things did not go as smoothly as he expected. Although Ran Qi always showed a sincere attitude of repentance and sincere confession of mistakes when facing the village committee and the Women's Federation staff, and spoke so clearly that people could not help but feel sympathy and trust for him.

But who would have thought that this was just her superficial effort! Once the limelight passed, she would return to her old ways and attack Zhao Bing with the same ruthlessness as before.

Zhao Bing, who was beaten and bruised all over, desperately proposed divorce, wanting to completely get rid of this nightmare marriage. But who knew that Ran Qi rejected his request without hesitation, and even said: "If you dare to divorce me, this house and your mother will belong to me!"

Hearing this, Zhao Bing was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. That was his mother who gave birth to him and raised him, how could she be awarded to Ran Qi so easily?

Is he going to let his elderly mother work like a slave for that fierce woman? When Zhao Bing thought of this, his heart felt like it was pierced by thousands of needles, but he could do nothing about it. In the end, out of concern for his mother and various practical considerations, Zhao Bing had to choose to continue to endure it silently...
