Liu Degui could be certain that he had guessed correctly.
Hongxia must have had a fling with Xiaoshuai, leaving Liu Degui feeling extremely stifled.
But he had to hold himself back, for now there was no evidence.
As the esteemed village secretary of Wanmin Village, his reputation was very important; he absolutely could not lose face before retirement. He must intimidate both Xiaoshuai and Hongxia.
So, when the night deepened and everyone had left, Liu Degui washed up early and returned to his room.
He waited for Hongxia to come in so he could speak with her. He couldn't just sit by; he had to take action.
Hongxia keenly sensed the change in Degui's mood and knew that he must suspect there was something between her and Xiaoshuai, so after washing up and returning to the room, she took the initiative to approach Degui.
However, Degui sneered, "This is rare, Hongxia."
"How do you think I've treated you over the years since you married me?"
