I was Blinded by Your LoveChapter 1

On the eve of our engagement, my boyfriend got drunk at a gathering with his friends.

I stood outside the private room, ready to take him home, but I accidentally overheard him bragging to his friends:

"My girlfriend is totally devoted to me."

His friends praised him and asked him to share his secrets on how to keep his woman in check.

He said, "It was nothing. I just drove four hours across provinces to visit her."

I was touched at first, but then I heard his next sentence:

"She was young, pretty, and clean back then. Even when you factor in the tolls and gas, it was still cheaper than hiring a prostitute."

My heart sank into an icy abyss.

——

We were about to get married, and the beautiful dream I had held onto for years was suddenly shattered.

Inside, I could still hear his clear, pleasant voice: "You guys better not tell her."

"All these years, she’s always believed I truly loved her, saying she’ll never forget the way my eyes sparkled when I was drenched in the rain."

One of his friends, even more drunk than him, slurred, "Bro, you’re really lucky to have found someone that dumb."
