Madam, Please Behave-Chapter 207: I Never Expected You to Be This Kind of Person

Li Wanran didn’t recognize Liu Changqing at first.

Compared to the man in her memories, he had changed significantly. He looked both unfamiliar and familiar at the same time, as if he had returned to the way he was when they had first met.

He had lost a lot of weight…

If she hadn’t seen An Yuanyao at the shoe store, if she hadn’t chased after them and seen Liu Changqing’s face up close, she wouldn’t have been certain it was really him.

Gone was the sloppy, overweight man she remembered. Now, he had a more composed and mature aura.

He no longer looked at her with that eager, flattering expression.

Hearing Liu Changqing’s question, Li Wanran instinctively frowned.

She didn’t like the way he spoke to her now.

But as she looked into his eyes—eyes that regarded her like a stranger—she hesitated for a moment before deciding to have a proper conversation.

"What’s going on with you and An Yuanyao?"

"That’s a private matter. I don’t see any reason to discuss it with you."

Liu Changqing’s response was swift and firm as he looked at her.

"And if you don’t have anything else to ask, could you leave? You’re blocking the air conditioning."

Li Wanran’s expression darkened.

He… was telling her to leave?

In all the years they had been married, Liu Changqing had never spoken to her like this.

They had been sleeping in separate rooms for a long time, and only when she wanted to would she let him into her bed. Even after having two children, this dynamic hadn’t changed.

Until the divorce…

She had never heard him speak to her in this tone before.

But ever since their divorce, it was like he had become a completely different person.

Every time they spoke, he managed to say something she didn’t like.

Li Wanran, who had always been used to being in control, found this hard to accept.

Her gaze shifted to An Yuanyao, who was sitting beside Liu Changqing.

Her former best friend… Now, she could clearly see the hostility in An Yuanyao’s eyes.

It was difficult to process.

Li Wanran had never expected this outcome.

After An Yuanyao’s divorce from Li Chongming, they had never seen each other again.

And yet, now that they had reunited, An Yuanyao was with her ex-husband?

When did this happen?

Could it be… that they had been involved long before?

A certain possibility crossed Li Wanran’s mind, and suddenly, she couldn’t maintain her usual aloof demeanor. Her expression darkened.

Her gaze shifted back to Liu Changqing.

Maybe… he had cheated on her with An Yuanyao first?

A strange feeling of betrayal rose in her heart as old memories of their marriage resurfaced.

Humans have a way of twisting the past to fit their current assumptions.

Thinking back, hadn’t An Yuanyao once asked Liu Changqing for cooking advice?

Was that when it started?

No wonder An Yuanyao had divorced Li Chongming so decisively, without a hint of hesitation.

Sitting there, Liu Changqing studied Li Wanran with mild curiosity.

He had never seen her look so… angry before.

In his memory, Li Wanran always kept a cold face, her words were always brief.

Seeing her like this now was unexpected.

But he had no interest in continuing the conversation.

Glancing at An Yuanyao beside him, he reached out and took her wrist.

"Since we haven’t found a gift you like, how about we check out another place?"

"Mm."

With that, the two of them stood up to leave.

But before they could, Li Wanran suddenly got up, her eyes locked onto them.

"You two… When did this start?"

"What?"

Liu Changqing frowned, not understanding her question.

Ignoring him, Li Wanran turned to An Yuanyao.

At first, she had felt a little guilty toward An Yuanyao.

When Li Chongming told her that An Yuanyao had used his affair as leverage to get more assets in the divorce, her guilt had lessened somewhat.

But now, if these two had been involved long before that, even before her own marriage to Li Chongming…

The guilt vanished completely.

She looked at An Yuanyao with unfamiliar eyes.

This woman, the one who had grown up with her, the best friend she had once trusted…

She never imagined An Yuanyao would be this scheming.

Had she been putting on a pitiful act all this time? Playing the victim while secretly having an affair with Liu Changqing?

A wave of irritation surged within her.

"An Yuanyao, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"

She glared at them before grabbing her bag and striding out of the store.

Her sudden outburst left both Liu Changqing and An Yuanyao momentarily stunned.

They exchanged confused looks.

After a long pause, Liu Changqing turned to An Yuanyao, his expression bewildered.

"She’s mad at you… just because I said she was blocking the air conditioning?"

"I have no idea what’s going on with her…" An Yuanyao shook her head, just as puzzled.

Liu Changqing sighed.

It really seemed like something was off with Li Wanran’s mental state.

How had his past self managed to spend so many years with her?

It was incomprehensible.

Unless…

A sudden thought struck him.

Li Wanran’s unpredictable mood swings… Could she be going through menopause?

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

Li Wanran sat in her car, her expression grim.

Her mind kept replaying the image of Liu Changqing holding An Yuanyao’s hand right in front of her.

She grew increasingly agitated.

She didn’t understand why she was feeling this way.

It was strange.

Logically, even if Liu Changqing was truly with An Yuanyao, it shouldn’t matter to her.

And yet…

Li Wanran lowered her gaze slightly.

Why did she feel so uncomfortable?

Humans are emotional creatures.

Even when raising a pet—be it a cat or a dog—people develop attachments.

And Liu Changqing wasn’t just some pet.

He was someone she had spent more than a decade with.

Her hands clenched into fists, nails digging into her palms, but she barely noticed the pain.

Her eyes flickered with confusion.

Memories surfaced—memories of Liu Changqing always being cautious around her, afraid of making her upset.

Always so careful.

Lifting her head, she stared out of the car window at the passing scenery.

Liu Changqing…

He wasn’t supposed to end up with another woman.
