She didn't even notice the bitterness on her lips. Xin Wan was silent for a moment before she said, "Actually, I've never tried liking someone before so I'm really sorry. Wen Hanyu, I can't be your love coach. But from what I know, you don't lack women. For example, Miss Li. If you want to try something, don't look for me. What I said doesn't mean that I'm jealous. I'm just telling you seriously that I, Tong Xinwan, don't like ambiguous relationships the most and I don't like ambiguous relationships either. We're already divorced, so we should stand on two parallel lines. "
"Then you really shouldn't have given birth to that child five years ago."
Xinwan raised her head. "Wen Han-woo, that's my son. He's a piece of flesh on my body. You don't know how much courage it took for me to make this decision back then. And I don't want Xiao Yu to hear this. "
"I'm just stating facts."
Wen Han-woo's expression slowly changed. A trace of hostility appeared between his brows out of habit. He felt like he was deliberately trying to get close to her, but this woman didn't appreciate it at all and pushed him away.
He was an overly arrogant man. He had always been surrounded by others. When had he ever tried to get close to someone else?
But now, the truth was right in front of him. Wen Han-woo's masculine dignity seemed to have taken a blow like never before. He couldn't help but snort coldly. The hand that was originally restraining her slender waist loosened. "You're the one who wants to get married. You're the one who wants a divorce. You're also the one who wants a child. I think this is considered a major life event for everyone, right? Tong Xinwan, you're really something. You helped me, Wen Han-woo, decide three major life events. You look so innocent when you turn around. Tell me, how despicable are you? "
Xinwan was really speechless when he listed the "evidence" of his crimes.
Indeed, she was quite selfish and despicable. But things had already come to this point. She still felt that now wasn't the time to discuss who was the despicable one. They should talk about the custody issue properly.
Xinwan slowly lowered her eyes and avoided the man's aggressive gaze. Her gaze didn't have that strong pressure, and it seemed like it was easier for her to say what she wanted to say next. "I can't refute anything you say. Indeed, whether we're married or divorced, just the child alone is something I owe you. But our marriage was built on benefits. That night five years ago, it was really an accident. It was very melodramatic. I've always wondered why such a melodramatic thing would happen to me. But what could he do? What had happened had happened. I was hot-headed at that time, so I kept the child. "
"To be honest, all these years, I've never regretted raising a son alone. Xiao Yu is very sensible and smart. I really love him. He's already the most important part of my life. But you're different. Now that this child suddenly appeared in front of you, you might find it fresh. Of course, blood is thicker than water. I don't have the right to comment on how you feel about the child. I don't understand either. I just want to say that you'll definitely have more opportunities in the future to find a better woman to bear children for you. Give Xiao Yu to me, okay? "
That last sentence really threw all of her pride and backbone to the back of her mind.
It was too rare for them to be able to talk so calmly. She felt that she had to seize this opportunity to make things clear. "Wen Han-woo, I know I'm being selfish by saying this, but I've really thought about it seriously.
Yes, I have seriously thought about this problem. Right now, the most important thing for me is Little Yu and my degree in America. I came to see you today to make things clear to you. I won't hide anything from you. After thinking about it, I still think that maybe we can each take a step back. "
Wen Han-woo listened to her say a lot of things, and all the expressions on his exquisite features fell silent.
He seemed to be expressionless, but in fact, he gave people a lot of pressure because this man had an aura of dignity without being angry.
Narrowing his deep eyes, he suddenly said in a steady tone, "Take a step back? Why don't you tell me how we can both take a step back? "
When Xinwan heard this, she quickly told him the "take a step back" that she had thought of with great difficulty on the way here. "I still have half a year of school in America. I don't want to give up, so I want to go back and continue my studies. However, I'm leaving. This time, I won't take Xiao Yu with me. I'll leave my son in B City and let him live with you. I'll also agree to let him change his surname to Wen. In these six months, I'll come back to visit him when I have time. When I'm done with my studies, I'll return to B City. Then, you can return the child to me, but I won't stop you from seeing your son in the future. He'll still be your son, Wen Han-woo. His surname will be Wen, but I'm begging you to let him live with me. Is that okay? "
It wasn't easy for Xinwan to make such a "compromise".
She didn't want to be separated from her son for even a day, but she also knew that she really couldn't "go too far". After all, she had concealed it from him first. If he really wanted to go to court with her now, then she would have no hope to speak of. Therefore, she felt that taking advantage of this time when both of them were calm and peaceful, if she said such a condition, perhaps Wen Hanyu would agree.
Wen Han-woo glanced at her as if he hadn't heard her at all. He only moved his thin lips and asked coldly, "With your lousy degree, you still want to go to America for half a year?"
Xinwan frowned. "I don't want to give up halfway."
"So, you're very generous. You'll give your son to me for half a year. After half a year, he'll still live with you. I'll be an outsider. What do you take me, Wen Han-woo?"
The man sneered and his eyes were cold. "A nanny who takes care of the child temporarily?"
…
Xinwan was still feeling unwell when she woke up.
She hadn't rested well for several days. She could see the dark circles around her eyes in the mirror.
She turned on the tap and splashed her face with cold water to wake herself up. As she wiped her face, she recalled what happened last night.
It was almost as if she had returned empty-handed.
Wen Hanyu didn't listen to her "suggestion" at all, but he didn't directly talk about the issue of custody. He only questioned her if he was a temporary nanny who was taking care of the child, and went into the study with a cold face. She waited in the living room for two whole hours, but he didn't come out again. Helpless, she could only choose to go home.
It was already one in the morning when she left. She thought that Xiao Yu would be asleep, so she didn't go to the Family Room. Knowing that her son had to go to school today, she decided to go to school early in the afternoon and pick her son up from school.
Xinwan combed her long hair and changed into a new set of clothes. She pressed her throbbing temples and went downstairs. When she reached the entrance of the dining room, she happened to hear Jiang Youyi talking on the phone.
She didn't hear the first part of the conversation, but she heard the last few sentences clearly.
"Yes, I have already discussed the project with the Wen Corporation. The land is not a problem now. Previously, I stopped the project because of a small misunderstanding. Now, there is no problem. Haha, there is no need to talk about this. Our Jiang Corporation and the Wen Corporation have worked together so many times. Of course, we have a tacit understanding. Don't worry, I will personally talk to Hanyu. I will get the contract this week."
Jiang Youyi had just hung up the phone when Xinwan walked into the dining room. She put the phone aside and glanced at Xinwan. "You're up? Have some breakfast. Did you come back late last night? Xiao Yu is at the Family Room? "
Xin Wan replied with a "Mm" and replied in unison.
The servant served the porridge. She sat in the first seat on the left and took a sip. Then she asked, "Dad, the cooperation between the Jiang Corporation and the Wen Corporation has been terminated, hasn't it? Are we going to cooperate again now? "
"Of course. I've been planning this project for a long time. I think Hanwoo has no reason to refuse it now." Jiang Youyi was full of confidence. She suddenly thought of something and looked at Xinwan. Her eyes brightened. "By the way, Wanwan, you can work in my company. In the afternoon, you can go to the Wen Corporation with me and talk to Hanwoo about this project."
Xinwan was stunned. She pointed at her nose with the spoon. "Me?"
Jiang Youyi pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Wanwan, I know it's a bit sudden to tell you this, but you've been back for a long time. Now it's not realistic for you to go back to the WS. And you told me before that you wanted to come back to help me. I'm short of people now. You can go to the company with me this time. "
"Dad, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I still have half a year to study in the WS."
Xinwan's heart sank. Even the porridge in her mouth tasted bitter. She put down the spoon. "I don't want to give up halfway. I want to finish my studies."
"What about Xiao Yu? Now the Family Room hasn't mentioned a lawsuit with us. If we have a lawsuit for custody, can you leave? "Jiang Youyi's tone was a little tense.
"I'll discuss it with Wen Han-woo again."
"Why are you so stubborn?"
Jiang Youyi reached out and threw the newspaper to the side. She looked impatient. "I can tell that Hanwoo has no intention of going to court with you. His attitude proves that he's giving you a chance. Since the chance is right in front of you, why can't you just be together? Your child is already so old. Even if it's for the sake of your child, you should give him a complete family. You shouldn't be so willful and do whatever you want. "
Jiang Youyi's words were a little harsh.
Xinwan had always known that her father's career was the most important thing in his heart. He was very good to her mother, but he still put his good intentions into his career. Now that he was saying this to her, she was actually completely immune to it. But she still couldn't help but feel her heart twitch.
She didn't refute him immediately. Instead, she lowered her eyes.
