The most 'expensive' wedding anniversary gift Lin Xiao has ever received in his life is a cuckold.

After sending it off, she was 'invited' out of the banquet by this man.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, she wiped her tears, wore ill-fitting shoes, and walked forward in the dark and rainy night.

It was too late, and with the heavy rain, there was no car at all.

Just as she was trembling with her arms crossed, her phone rang.

The name that popped up on the screen made her tremble.

Li Mingye.

"Lin Xiao, how many times have I told you that I am just spending a birthday with Ran Ran. Do you really not trust me so much?"

Lin Xiao bit her lower lip, rainwater dripping down her eyelashes.

"Trust? Mingye, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Li Mingye.

"Okay, I'll explain to you when I come back later, Ran Ran is calling me."

Lin Xiao originally wanted to say that it was Zhou Ranran who sent her a message this afternoon, saying that there would be a banquet at Xijiang Villa that evening and asked her to dress up and come over.

I thought it was the third anniversary party carefully prepared by Li Mingye, but unexpectedly, it was Zhou Ranran's nineteenth birthday party.

Li Mingye invited half of the city's reputable people to come over for her.

"Wait a minute, Li Mingye, tell me the truth, do you not love me anymore?"

The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mingye pressed his throat but couldn't suppress the angry voice.

"Okay, here we go again, right? Lin Xiao, I almost broke off the relationship with my parents in order to marry you. Isn't that enough to love you?"

"But you have changed now!" Lin Xiao almost shouted this at the top of his lungs.

However, what I got was still an impatient response.

"Lin Xiao, haven't you changed? Look at how you look now, tsk. I'm too lazy to talk about you. Look at Ran Ran. She got a scholarship again this year. I've supported her for so many years, and she's getting better and better."

These words were like venom, quickly eroding Lin Xiao's fragile heart.

She couldn't help but cover her mouth, her nose was sore and swollen.

Suddenly I remembered that in high school, when the bell rang after class, Lin Xiao was always the first to run to the basketball court and secretly put mineral water into Li Mingye's hand.

In the midsummer evening, Li Mingye raised the bottle of water and shouted to her with a smile: "Lin Xiao, I like you!"

Later, the two encouraged each other and both were admitted to the best local universities.

Lin Xiao is a top student who receives scholarships every year and has also won many international awards.Even during her senior year of internship, HR from a Fortune 50 company made an exception to meet with her and invited her to join her.

But that year, Lin Xiao chose to reject HR in order to fulfill Li Mingye's promise of 'marry you and be your full-time wife to take care of you'.

However, the Li family's parents did not agree to the two being together, and sent people to harass Lin Xiao many times, asking her to leave Li Mingye on her own.

After learning the truth, Li Mingye immediately severed ties with his family and took Lin Xiao to live in a rental house worth 500 yuan.

She works during the day and delivers food at night, raising her to the point where she is too depressed to go out.

At that time, Lin Xiao felt that this man was the hero of her girlhood, the prince who wanted to marry Cinderella at all costs.

Later, the Li family's parents felt really sorry for their son and agreed to the marriage with their eyes closed.

So, Li Mingye knelt down and proposed under the city's fireworks.

Giant fireworks exploded and lit up the night sky: Xiao Xiao, I love you, marry me.

The hardships of those years were the softest shackles in Lin Xiao's heart.

She always remembered the way Li Mingye betrayed everyone and ran around day and night for her, and she secretly decided in her heart that she owed him a favor that would go all out for her in this life.

So after marriage, even if his parents-in-law looked coldly and others felt sorry for him, Lin Xiao was willing to put away all his sharpness.

She thought that when life was completely stable and Li Mingye's career was established, she could pick up her own future again.

But he never expected that what he gave in again and again was not cherishment, but Li Mingye's taking it for granted and taking advantage of it.

Now he held another fireworks show, and the heroine was changed as a matter of course.

Now, as Lin Xiao was limping alone in the cold rain wearing ill-fitting shoes, the fireworks behind him were still blooming.

In Li Mingye's words, this is his reward for Zhou Ranran's excellence, and it is definitely not love.

But Lin Xiao didn’t believe it.

In the past three years since their marriage, Lin Xiao has fulfilled her promise to be a good wife, both in the hall and in the kitchen.

Even the wealthy and sophisticated people who are difficult to deal with have not fallen behind at all.

Even her parents-in-law, who looked down on Lin Xiao at first, unexpectedly smiled at her several times.

When the fireworks exploded again, the night sky was as bright as day.
