The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 136 - 135: It Takes a Brother to Screw Over a Brother
Chen JianShe had come this time to beg Gu Jiaojiao for something.
He hoped Gu Jiaojiao wouldn’t divorce his Brother Leng.
But he didn’t dare say it in front of Leng Yuan.
He had just been observing from outside for a while and hadn’t seen his Brother Leng anywhere.
This meant Brother Leng wasn’t home—the perfect opportunity.
To be safe, he glanced around again to confirm Leng Yuan was nowhere in sight before he spoke.
"Sister-in-law, can I ask a favor of you? It’s just, could you please not... with my Brother Leng..."
THUD. The Polygonum multiflorum in her hand slipped and fell to the ground. Gu Jiaojiao froze, completely stunned.
’Divorce?’
’Hadn’t Leng Yuan already decided to live a good life with her? Why the sudden talk of divorce?’
’That damn man had already had his way with her, and now he dared to divorce her?’
She took a deep breath, her eyes red as she looked at Chen JianShe.
"You’re saying... he wants to divorce me?"
Chen JianShe scratched his head.
’That didn’t sound right!’
’It should be Gu Jiaojiao divorcing his Brother Leng! How did it become his Brother Leng wanting a divorce?’
Well, it was a divorce either way. It didn’t seem to matter who was divorcing whom.
So he just foolishly nodded.
In an instant, Gu Jiaojiao’s anger flared to its peak.
Why didn’t she doubt Chen JianShe’s words?
Because Chen JianShe was Leng Yuan’s die-hard fan, his most loyal follower—the kind of underling who would sooner die than betray Leng Yuan.
If Leng Yuan had told even Chen JianShe that he wanted a divorce, then it must be true.
Leng Yuan, who was cleaning up in the kitchen, faintly heard Chen JianShe’s voice and couldn’t help but walk out.
He saw Chen JianShe scratching his head with an awkward expression.
The moment Chen JianShe saw him, he looked like he’d seen a ghost.
"B-Brother Leng, you-you’re actually home."
Leng Yuan’s sharp gaze landed on Chen JianShe, scrutinizing him. "This is my house. Is there anything strange about me being here?"
As he spoke, he looked over at Gu Jiaojiao.
He saw his young wife’s eyes were red-rimmed, tears streaming down her face as if the floodgates had opened.
Leng Yuan immediately lost all interest in dealing with Chen JianShe.
He walked straight over to Gu Jiaojiao and wiped away her tears. "What’s wrong?"
Gu Jiaojiao’s bright eyes were filled with grief, large teardrops rolling down her cheeks. A single glance told him she was utterly heartbroken.
His heart ached for her, and a note of urgency entered his voice.
"Jiaojiao, what is it? What happened?"
Gu Jiaojiao just kept crying without saying a word.
Leng Yuan pulled her into his arms, his voice urgent. "Shh, don’t cry. Whatever it is, your man can fix it for you. Tell me, what on earth happened?"
Gu Jiaojiao’s voice was choked with sobs. "Aren’t you going to divorce me? Why do you even care about me?"
’Divorce?’
Leng Yuan’s head snapped toward Chen JianShe.
The moment Chen JianShe saw his Brother Leng pull the woman into his arms, he knew he must have misunderstood his sister-in-law and immediately tried to slip away.
He had just lifted his leg when he was frozen in place by an icy glare from his Brother Leng.
"Brother Leng, it’s a misunderstanding! Let me explain!"
Looking at the guilt-ridden Chen JianShe, how could Leng Yuan not know what had happened?
He couldn’t help but press a hand to his forehead, feeling utterly exhausted.
’This blockhead.’
"Shut up. And don’t you move," he ordered.
With that, he turned back to comforting his wife.
"Alright, stop crying now. This is all a misunderstanding. It’s not me who wants a divorce, it’s Chen JianShe who thought *you* wanted to divorce *me*."
Gu Jiaojiao didn’t believe him. "But I never said I wanted to divorce you!"
’If she were really going to divorce him, why would she have let him touch her?’
Exasperated, Leng Yuan explained the whole situation.
Gu Jiaojiao’s eyes went wide as she stared at Chen JianShe.
Chen JianShe was fidgeting and gesturing restlessly in the courtyard as if he had ants in his pants. When he saw Gu Jiaojiao looking at him, an awkward smile immediately plastered itself on his face.
"Sister-in-law, I was actually here to beg you *not* to divorce my Brother Leng."
Who knew... who knew he would make her cry instead?
For a moment, Gu Jiaojiao didn’t know whether she should keep crying or not, or if the tears welling in her eyes should be allowed to fall!
