"… I have something important to deal with now. You'll have dinner alone … Yeah, I'll contact you when I'm done. Where are you feeling unwell? Go to the hospital then … I can't leave now. I'll contact the chauffeur for you. You don't have to drive … Don't make a fuss. I have something important to do here … "
Xin Yu heard Lu Yihan speak with such difficulty and understood that Lan Ruoran was probably feeling unwell. She wanted Lu Yihan to go over, but Lu Yihan obviously had no intention of going over now.
She sighed softly and finally turned her face away. Reaching out, she gently tugged at Lu Yihan's sleeve and said to him silently, "If you have something to do, you can go first. I'm not in a hurry."
Lu Yihan frowned as he looked at her. When she moved her lips, she also made a gesture. He understood the gist of it. She was telling him that he could go now.
It was impossible that she didn't know who was calling, yet she was so generous and considerate to let her husband take care of another woman outside …
Lu Yihan didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment. He was depressed and unbearable. It turned out that she really didn't care about him at all …
Lan Ruoran was still sobbing on the other end of the line, complaining that her stomach wasn't feeling well. Lu Yihan thought about what she had said to him before and couldn't bear it. He turned the steering wheel with one hand, stepped on the brake, and stopped the car by the side of the road. His gaze was fixed on Xin Yu, but he said to Lan Ruoran over the phone, "… Don't cry. Wait for me. I'll be right there."
He hung up the phone and pressed the lock on the car door. He smiled coldly at Xin Yu and said, "My wife is really generous. Do you really want me to take care of another woman so badly? Alright then, get out of the car! "
"…"
Xin Yu didn't know why he was so angry. Was she generous? She was indeed generous, but wasn't generosity what he needed?
"Let's meet again when we have time. Lu Yihan, I also have something important to tell you, but I want to tell you first. I'll personally talk to Dad about our fifth wedding anniversary. There's really no need for that. There are other things that we can talk about when you have time."
After she finished speaking, she pushed open the car door. Just as she was about to get out of the car, Lu Yihan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. His handsome face was full of gloom as he questioned her, word by word, "Leng Xinyu, do you really not care?"
"… Care what?" Xin Yu's.
.? with me, with you, with me with me, with you with me, with you, with me, Lu Yihan, your husband. You don't have to hold any wedding anniversary, you don't care if I have other women outside, and you don't care about this marriage either, right? "
Xin Yu looked down. She could feel the pain in her wrist from his grip, but she didn't struggle. She suppressed her desire to sigh. After a moment, she said calmly, "Lu Yihan, do you only realize now that you're my husband? We've been married for five years, and you've never treated me like your wife. There are many things that you can't get away with just because you want them or don't want them. I know that it was my existence back then that ruined your happiness. Now, I just want to make it up to you. If we get a divorce, I'll leave the marriage with nothing. I'll also give you everything that's useful to you. I hope you can really … think about it carefully. It's not good for either of us to keep dragging each other into this. I don't have the energy to deal with you like this either. "
She reached out and pulled his hand away from her wrist. His grip was a little tight, so she pulled even harder. Lu Yihan's gloomy eyes stared straight at her. He saw the determination in her eyes and the nonchalant expression on her face. She didn't say the word "divorce," but it was clear that she wanted to cut all ties with him.
The softest part of his heart felt like it had been hit by a sharp weapon. The dull pain hit him hard, and he didn't know what to do.
He was also a proud man, but he had never thought about a woman like this. She was his wife. She was clearly within his reach, so why did it become so difficult now?
What was so good about her? What was it about her that attracted him? Why was it that by the time he realized it, he couldn't stop even if he wanted to?
He couldn't figure it out, but these days, all his energy revolved around her. He couldn't wait to see her all the time. He couldn't wait to tell her all the feelings in his heart. Then, he could imagine her being surprised, happy, and blissful.
…
Who was he?
He was Lu Yihan. So many women in D City flocked to him like a flock of ducks. Who was she? She was just Leng Xinyu. She was his wife. She had been ignored by him for more than five years. Shouldn't she be happy that she suddenly gained the favor of her husband?
But the reality was that even if he said it, she didn't seem to appreciate it.
For the first time in his life, Lu Yihan tasted defeat. A voice in the depths of his heart jumped out and shouted at him loudly: You're Lu Yihan. What kind of woman can't you get? Does she have the right to look down on you? Do you have to use your hot face to stick to her cold butt?
Lu Yihan pursed his thin lips slightly. Finally, Xin Yu pushed his hand away forcefully. He frowned, and his lips moved. Just as he was about to say something, Xin Yu pushed open the door and got out of the car without looking back.
"…"
Lu Yihan was so angry that he threw the phone in his hand onto the dashboard. Disappointment, sadness, indignation … Too many emotions attacked his rationality, but he still maintained his pride. His expression was fierce. In the rearview mirror, he happened to see that woman hail a taxi by the roadside. She got into the car, and soon, the taxi drove right past him …
Lu Yihan released the handbrake, turned the car around, and stepped on the accelerator. His car and the taxi drove in opposite directions.
B City, prison.
The weather had been good for the past few days. The prisoners who lived here had time to get some fresh air every day. They sat together in groups of two or three and occasionally talked. However, there were many prison guards standing around, so most of their faces were expressionless. Naturally, they didn't dare to show too much emotion.
If the people here broke the rules, the taste of punishment would be very unpleasant.
Some of the prison guards here were famous for their perverted ways of tormenting people. Some people who had suffered before didn't dare to provoke them a second time.
…
The two women were still squatting together. The striped prison uniforms on them had changed color. The weather had warmed up recently, so they didn't feel too cold.
The woman on the left moved closer to the woman on the right. She looked at the woman on the right, who was holding a twig every day and scribbling on the ground. She didn't know what she was writing. The woman on the left coughed lightly and looked around. She realized that the prison guard who was in charge of their area had walked away.
She quickly reached out and nudged the woman beside her. "… Hey, what I told you last time, don't you want to consider it? I think you're quite pitiful. Everyone knows that it's harder to get out of here than to climb the sky. We're all women. I really don't want you to be so pitiful and be locked up here for the rest of your life. Do you have any relatives? "
"…"
"… I know, you're definitely not mute. You don't want to talk because you don't want trouble to come from your mouth, right? … It's okay if you don't believe me, but I really want to get out. All these years, I've been squatting together with you every day when we get some fresh air. You didn't notice me, but I've always been watching you. "
"…"
"… Ahem, yes, I mean, if you only have relatives outside or people you want to see, you can tell me. I can help you pass a message. It's still okay."
"…"
The woman on the right suddenly stopped moving the twig in her hand. She kept her eyes down and her long hair covered half of her face. No one could see the expression on her face clearly. She paused for only a second and quickly returned to normal.
She still didn't say anything. The prison guards came over quickly. It was about time, so they gathered them again and asked them to return to their respective prisons.
The woman on the left said so much, but the woman on the right didn't have any reaction. She sighed and shook her head. She muttered, "… Sigh, good intentions really don't pay off. Do as you wish." Then she turned and walked into the prison.
…
Xin Yu returned to the Lu family. However, Lu Shiyun wasn't around. Li Muhua and Lu Yiting were at home instead.
It seemed like Lu Yiting had gotten off work earlier than her.
Although she didn't like Li Muhua and Lu Yiting, Xin Yu always had the mentality that it was better to avoid trouble. Thus, when she saw them in the living room, she still greeted them appropriately.
"Mom, Yiting, you're at home."
Li Muhua slammed the cup in her hand on the coffee table. She sneered at Xin Yu. "You wish that we weren't at home, right? The entire Lu family would be yours. "
Xin Yu was speechless.
She couldn't be bothered to argue with her. She had heard this kind of mockery before. She sighed softly. "Mom, I didn't mean it that way."
"Don't you know whether I meant it or not? Forget it, don't pretend with me. The old man isn't at home today. It's just me and Tingting. Leng Xinyu, let's talk things out. Come here. "
Xin Yu had no choice but to go over when Li Muhua asked her to. She stood in front of Li Muhua. "Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Talk about you and Yihan." Li Muhua raised her brows and pointed to the sofa opposite her. "Have a seat."
"Mom, I'm a little tired. If you have something to say, just say it. After you're done, I want to go up and rest."
Li Muhua nodded. "I don't like to beat around the bush. Since you're so tactful, I'll be direct. I know that you want to divorce Yihan. I was the first to agree to this divorce. I also know that you have a lot of good things in your hands. Take them out and I'll help you get a divorce."
Xin Yu was speechless.
