# Chapter 175: Muddy Roads, Bare Feet, and a Screaming CEO
Hello everyone, it’s me again! How are you all doing? I hope the day has been kind to you, because today we’re stepping straight into one of the most unexpectedly hilarious chapters of *The Untouchable Ex Wife*. We’ve seen dramatic showdowns, heart-wrenching confrontations, and romantic tension — but this time? This time, the battle is between a grown man and a patch of mud. And trust me, you are not ready for who wins.
Let me take you back to that rain-soaked country road.
The weather had been moody for days. Heavy rain had turned the already uneven road into a messy battlefield of puddles and slippery, thick mud. No car could pass through that sludge. Even walking felt like dragging your feet through quicksand. What should have been a simple journey had turned into a survival trek — at least, in Xavier’s eyes.
Standing at the edge of the wrecked road, Xavier frowned deeply and studied the endless brown sludge stretching before him. In his mind, this wasn’t just a muddy pathway. It was a personal attack.
"Maybe we should go back..." he muttered, his expression filled with dread. He simply couldn’t imagine a rich young lady like Leia handling this kind of disgusting terrain. She was supposed to be delicate, graceful, the kind of woman who wouldn't even step near a puddle without a squad of assistants holding umbrellas over her.
But oh, how wrong he was.
Leia turned to him, and instead of the horrified expression Xavier expected, he saw something far more terrifying — excitement. Her eyes sparkled as though someone had just offered her an all-expenses-paid adventure.
"Go back?" Leia rolled up the legs of her trousers without a moment's hesitation and looked at the muddy road with obvious thrill. "What a wonderful experience! I've only seen this in movies. How can I leave?"
Xavier gaped at her.
Before he could protest, Leia had already kicked off her shoes and stepped happily onto the mud with bare feet. She looked as if she were stomping through rose petals. Mud squelched between her toes, splashed on her ankles, and she didn’t mind it one bit. She simply laughed, taking another proud step forward.
Xavier stood rooted at the clean spot, watching her in disbelief. His brain couldn’t process what he was seeing. Was this really the same woman? The one he remembered as graceful, refined, feminine? The image in front of his eyes was completely different from the one he had stored in his memories. For a fleeting moment, Leia herself even began to doubt whether she had been blind in the past. How could she have fallen in love with such a sissy?
"Are you even a woman?" Xavier blurted out, still frozen at the edge. "You're so tough! Don't you find the mud dirty?"
Leia stopped and looked back at him with an amused expression. She had already walked nearly a hundred meters while he hadn’t moved an inch.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up! It’s just mud. We can wash our feet clean later," she called out.
But Xavier shook his head like a stubborn child. Although he wasn’t a germaphobe, the thought of stepping into this brown mush with his bare feet made his skin crawl. He would rather face a boardroom full of angry shareholders than this.
Leia watched him hesitate and felt a huge wave of amusement sweep over her. This was far too entertaining. She put both hands on her waist and urged him impatiently.
"Hey, I'm going to count to three. I won't wait for you..."
Xavier clenched his jaw. That woman was really going to leave him behind.
"Just you wait, Leia! I'll deal with you when we get there. I'm suffering right now, so I'll let it slide for the moment," he said through gritted teeth.
To him, standing barefoot on that muddy road was some kind of cruel torture. But her mockery made it even worse. He didn't want to give her the satisfaction of caving in too easily.
"Bragging is useless! Come over if you dare!" Leia shouted back with a triumphant grin.
She loved it. Absolutely loved it. There was something so satisfying about provoking him when he couldn’t do a thing about it. All his usual arrogance, all his cold composure, was completely useless in the face of a little mud. Leia felt like she had finally discovered his greatest weakness.
Xavier’s pride twitched. That woman really did drive him mad.
He closed his eyes, bracing himself like a soldier about to walk through fire. Slowly, carefully, he rolled up the legs of his trousers. His movements were dramatic, almost tragic, as if he were preparing for his own funeral. Then, with his jaw clenched, he gritted his teeth and stepped into the mud.
And then it happened.
"Ah — just kill me!"
The scream that tore out of Xavier’s throat was pure, unfiltered agony. He recoiled as if his foot had touched a bed of burning coals. The mud squelched around his toes, and he acted like the ground had personally betrayed him.
Leia slapped a hand against her forehead in disbelief.
"It’s just mud. Stop screaming, or dogs might come!" she warned, shaking her head.
Wait. Dogs?
Xavier’s eyes snapped open wide. Fear flashed through him, quick and real. Dogs? Out here in the middle of nowhere? Oh no. He had bigger fears than mud now. Without another second of hesitation, Xavier suppressed every ounce of disgust in his heart and began running toward Leia — sloshing through the mud, splashing wildly, looking absolutely nothing like the powerful, controlled man he usually was.
Leia watched him scramble through the mud like a man being chased by demons and couldn't help but laugh. A few minutes ago, he had been behaving like a dignified nobleman. Now, he was splashing through puddles, panting, terrified of phantom dogs, with mud splattered up his legs and who knew where else.
This was a side of Xavier that no one else would ever believe.
Leia shook her head. She had once thought he was composed, dominating, even enigmatic. She had once loved him, believing he was someone worth chasing. But seeing him now, screaming at a little mud and panicking at the word "dogs," she genuinely began to wonder what she had even seen in him.
And yet, she didn’t stop smiling.
The chapter ends on a strange, humorous note. But what happens once Xavier reaches her and gets his revenge? With mud on his feet, fear in his heart, and pure irritation toward Leia building in his chest, this story may be about to take an even more chaotic turn.
Stay tuned, because the road ahead is only getting messier.

Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating: Oh, this chapter was pure gold! After all the heavy drama and painful tension in this story, we needed this burst of comic relief. Seeing a proud CEO reduced to a shrieking mess over a little mud was simply priceless. Leia’s teasing energy was absolutely delightful, and I loved watching her enjoy every seconds of his misery. This chapter gives us a lighter side of both characters while reminding us of the gap between the identities they used to have and the feelings they still carry. The character interaction here is fun, playful, and oddly heartwarming. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
Next Chapter Prediction: The moment Xavier catches up to Leia, revenge is definitely coming! I predict he will try to drag her down into the mud with him or annoy her in some childish payback, but in the process, they may encounter something unexpected — perhaps more obstacles on this journey, or maybe an emotional conversation that shifts their playful banter into something more serious. This little detour might force them to spend more time alone together, and old feelings could start creeping back — if pride doesn’t ruin everything first!
