Chapter 65: Get rid of you.

Su Man remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

That was exactly what she thought.

Although Wang Li was disappointing, Zhou Chengjing wasn’t much better. He was opportunistic from the start, using so many manipulative tactics. If she got involved with him, it might not be any better than Wang Li—Su Man understood that she couldn’t trust the methods wealthy men used to manipulate women, no matter how naive she might be. 

She didn’t deny Zhou Chengjing’s charm; he was tall, handsome, gentle, and wealthy. She would enjoy herself in his bed. But she wasn’t just an animal driven by desire. The standard for evaluating a relationship shouldn’t be solely based on pleasure.

Beyond those appealing qualities, Zhou Chengjing had a strong personality, was cunning, and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He could easily manipulate people, tearing couples apart.

Su Man knew she wasn’t a match for someone like him. She couldn’t even outsmart Wang Li. Instead of foolishly falling into his trap only to be cast aside later, she preferred to keep her distance.

She just wanted a simple life.

But she didn’t say anything. She remained silent for a few seconds, as if Zhou Chengjing had seen through her intentions, prompting him to say, “Don’t even think about it.”

Su Man couldn’t help but raise her voice.

Zhou Chengjing immediately fell silent, apologizing, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to. You can punish me. Next time, I won’t ejaculate during orgasm, how about that? Or…”

He tried to think of some atonement ideas, but Su Man’s implication was that there shouldn’t be a next time.

She gritted her teeth, trying to remain calm, and said, “I’m indeed angry about that, but, Zhou Chengjing, it’s not important at all.”

“From start to finish, you’ve been coercing me according to your own wishes. Previously, I was indecisive, concerned about Wang Li, concerned about the opinions of others. I compromised under your threats every time. But now, I’m divorced, I’m a free person, and those things that used to scare me are no longer weaknesses. So I can’t wait to get rid of you, do you understand?”

Finally, it all came out.

Su Man felt relieved in body and mind. She felt happiness, a long-lost happiness.

“So, let’s stop here, let me go. Be like Wang Li, be straightforward, let me remember something good about you, okay?”

Zhou Chengjing didn’t immediately agree.

He thought Su Man was naive, did she really think that after the divorce, he wouldn’t have ways to control her? Her parents, brother, friends, everyone close to her… As long as he was calculating enough, he could always find a weakness.

But Zhou Chengjing didn’t say it out loud. He knew what he wanted. It wasn’t a fleeting pleasure but a long-lasting, stable love.

He wouldn’t treat Su Man like that.

Instead, he opened up and calmly asked her, “Do you think I would willingly accept this?”
