Chapter 111: Chapter 0111: The Aunt Who Persuades to Divorce
In the early morning, the glaring sunlight woke Ye Xunhuan, who yawned and opened his eyes.
The hangover was painful, his head ached terribly, as if countless hammers were pounding viciously inside his head. Ye Xunhuan involuntarily groaned, his face showing an expression of agony.
After leaving the Tingxiangshuixie Villa last night, Ye Xunhuan went straight to the Night No Return bar.
In the whole of Jiangzhong City, Ye Xunhuan felt utterly miserable, unable to find another brother to have heartfelt conversations with, apart from Xiaojium.
He had planned to drink and chat with Xiaojium, but today, of all days, Xiaojium didn’t come to the bar, leaving Ye Xunhuan to drink alone.
Fortunately, everyone in the bar recognized Ye Xunhuan and knew that the big boss had ordered that Huanhuan’s drinks were always on the house.
So even though Ye Xunhuan had no money, he still got completely drunk at Night No Return.
When he woke up this morning, his head felt like it was splitting apart, the pain was unbearable. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Then, Ye Xunhuan got out of bed to wash up!
When he saw the swollen half of his face in the mirror, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch it: "Damn it, such a handsome face, and now it’s been beaten up. How am I going to pick up chicks now?"
As the words fell, a somber hue emerged in his bright eyes, followed by memories of last night’s events flashing through his mind.
For a moment, a bitter twist formed at the corners of Ye Xunhuan’s mouth.
With a wry smile of resignation, time to wash up, time to get divorced!
Time to leave this place, it ultimately doesn’t belong to him. It’s time to return to his original life.
Yeah, that’s pretty good, too!
But can he really let go?
Ye Xunhuan himself wasn’t clear. To say he had no feelings for Qiu Ruoxi was utterly impossible.
After all, humans are not plants or trees, how can they be devoid of emotion?
How can he say he, Ye Xunhuan, hasn’t been a husband to Qiu Ruoxi for over two months? Although they acted like enemies every time they met, especially Qiu Ruoxi, who would find fault with him in every way, nothing about him seemed right in her eyes.
Yet, he couldn’t deny that he enjoyed the past two months of bickering and being at odds with Qiu Ruoxi.
Especially when he managed to irritate her, it gave Ye Xunhuan an indescribable sense of achievement.
But now that it’s time to divorce and go their separate ways, to say that he’s completely okay with it would be nothing but hot air.
However, there was nothing Ye Xunhuan could do at this point.
After all, he couldn’t give Qiu Ruoxi what she wanted, and since he couldn’t, why not let go altogether?
After he finished washing up, Ye Xunhuan immediately left Night No Return and took some money from the bar.
Now, he didn’t have a penny to his name, and as a man, how could he not carry money on him?
Moreover, he was on his way to get divorced, he certainly couldn’t let the woman pay for the divorce certificate, could he?
Moreover, don’t they show on TV that after a divorce, the couple should have a meal together to mark the end of their union?
So Ye Xunhuan took some money from the bar.
After leaving the bar, Ye Xunhuan hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Civil Affairs Bureau.
When Ye Xunhuan arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was just nine o’clock and the office had just opened. However, Qiu Ruoxi was nowhere to be seen.
Divorce is a matter for two people, not just one. Now that Qiu Ruoxi hadn’t arrived, he, Ye Xunhuan, couldn’t go through with the divorce, so he had no choice but to wait for her arrival.
Time flew by like a fleeting white steed, and two hours passed in a blink, reaching eleven in the morning, but Qiu Ruoxi still hadn’t shown up.
This made Ye Xunhuan somewhat anxious. Was this woman going to show up or not? If not, couldn’t she at least have called?
Immediately, Ye Xunhuan took the phone out of his pocket, only to remember he had turned it off last night to avoid calls from Qiu Shuihan looking for him.
The very next moment, as soon as Ye Xunhuan turned his phone on, it started buzzing like a pot about to boil over with an unending stream of notifications.
What the fuck, when did I become so damn busy with business?
Just when Ye Xunhuan was about to check the messages, the phone’s ringtone suddenly blared.
Seeing the series of numbers pulsing on the screen, Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twisted with an unprecedented bitterness.
He didn’t want to answer the call, but the number kept flashing, as if saying to Ye Xunhuan, "Don’t pick up, and I’ll call until your phone explodes!"
Left with no choice, Ye Xunhuan reluctantly answered the call.
No sooner had he picked up the phone than a crisp, pleasant, and angry voice came from the receiver, "You little fucker, why did you only just answer the phone..."
"Auntie..."
The person calling Ye Xunhuan wasn’t just anyone—it was his aunt, known as the ’Witch Queen’ in the capital, Qin Zhimeng!
"You still recognize me as your aunt?"
Qin Zhimeng’s voice sounded very pleasant, as melodious as the singing of the heavens!
"Auntie, what do you want with me?"
Even though he had already guessed that Qin Zhimeng was calling him about the issue with Qiu Ruoxi, he couldn’t help but ask.
"The gall you have to ask! Why did you turn off your phone last night? You made your poor aunt stay up all night constantly calling you. If I couldn’t reach you, I was ready to call the police..."
Hearing Qin Zhimeng’s somewhat reproachful words, a warm current immediately passed through Ye Xunhuan’s heart.
Blame, perhaps, but isn’t it also a form of caring?
"Tell me, what were you thinking, why do you want to divorce Qiu Ruoxi?"
"Auntie, my father-in-law must have told you everything, right?"
"What he said is his business. Tell me what you think?"
"We’re just not suitable, that’s all!"
"Bullshit!" Qin Zhimeng exploded with a vulgar word. "I think you’re perfectly suitable. Who said you aren’t? Tell me, and I’ll tear their mouth apart!"
That’s Qin Zhimeng for you—radiating mature allure and possessing a wildness and fierceness no other woman had.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have earned the title of Witch Queen!
"Auntie, we really aren’t suitable, and even I feel it myself," said Ye Xunhuan softly. "And Qiu Ruoxi hates me. I’m not what she’s looking for in a man!"
"It’s better to have a clean break than to be like this!"
"So tell me, have you slept with her or not?"
Ye Xunhuan immediately broke into a waterfall of sweat, thinking, what kind of aunt asks something like that?
"Why are you asking this?"
"Don’t tell me you haven’t?"
"Auntie..."
"Don’t say anything then." Qin Zhimeng huffed. "Daring to dislike my dear Huanhuan. Who does she think she is, Qiu Ruoxi? If it weren’t for your sister’s sake, she wouldn’t even have the chance to marry you!"
"What rubbish. Go ahead and divorce. I’ll find someone else for you. Who among the socialites in the capital catches your eye? Tell me, and I’ll be the matchmaker. Then we can flaunt it in front of her and piss her off!"
The corners of Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
While everyone else is encouraging reconciliation, here’s his aunt, urging him to divorce!
