Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Looking for a Better Opportunity While Settling for What Is Available
Ye Xunhuan was taken aback. What did this woman mean?
"What do you mean?" Ye Xunhuan asked with some confusion, "What do you mean by saying that if I say we divorce, we divorce? Isn’t that what you have always wanted?"
For a moment, Ye Xunhuan felt his mind become disordered, or rather, he had absolutely no idea what the hell was going on.
In his heart, marrying him was like living in hell for Qiu Ruoxi. Now that he was ready to release her from hell and let her go to heaven, why wasn’t she happy?
"Ye Xunhuan, who do you think you are? You say divorce and we divorce, you say marry and we marry!" Qiu Ruoxi’s pretty face was taut, and her eyes filled with a cold light: "Let me tell you, in your dreams!"
Ye Xunhuan then started to feel somewhat upset. What did she mean by saying he decides to marry at will? He felt like a victim, too.
For you, a crooked tree - granted, this crooked tree is not bad - but I have given up a whole forest for it.
"Only I, Qiu Ruoxi, dump others; no one dumps me!" Qiu Ruoxi said with gritted teeth, "Even if we were to divorce, it would be because I brought it up!"
"It’s me who doesn’t want you, not you who doesn’t want me."
When Qiu Ruoxi recalled Ye Xunhuan saying last night in front of her parents, "Qiu Ruoxi, I don’t want you," she felt a surge of rage.
This jerk, he doesn’t want me anymore, do you think I want you?!
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan realized what was going on. It seems this woman was bothered because he was the one who brought up divorce first, making her look bad and unable to save face!
"Okay then, now you say it!"
"Say what?"
"Say you don’t want me and want a divorce!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "I promise to swiftly go to the civil affairs office with you, quickly process the divorce, and then we’ll go our separate ways. I’ll walk my log bridge, and you’ll take your sunny road, how about that, fair enough?"
"Why should I say divorce?" Qiu Ruoxi’s beautiful eyes scanned Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan’s eyes widened, and he looked at Qiu Ruoxi incredulously, "You... you don’t want to divorce anymore?"
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan only felt that his brain wasn’t functioning well, completely at a loss for what Qiu Ruoxi really meant.
"What, do you really want to get divorced that badly?" Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes slowly turned colder!
"No..." the moment the words left Ye Xunhuan’s lips, he suddenly realized something and quickly corrected himself, "otherwise, what did you think?"
"Once we’re divorced, I’ll be free. Then, whatever I do, it’s completely up to me. I wouldn’t have to worry about this or that, even if I found a woman, I’d have to be extremely careful, in case you bump into us later, or in case it reaches my father-in-law and mother-in-law’s ears..."
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, not only did Qiu Ruoxi’s teeth gnash fiercely, but her delicate body shook uncontrollably!
"Otherwise, I’d still have to go home every day, every day facing your icy face. What’s the point in that?"
"You..."
"I admit, you are very beautiful!" Ye Xunhuan pulled a cigarette from his body, lit it without any inhibition, and said, "But girl, you have to remember, men like women who are warm on both ends, not just one!"
"Let alone you’re not warm on any end!"
Qiu Ruoxi seemed to have flames shooting from her eyes as if she could reduce Ye Xunhuan to ashes, furious beyond words.
Did he think she really didn’t want to divorce?
She, Qiu Ruoxi, wanted to as well, but she didn’t dare.
Yesterday evening, Xiahou Yutong actually fainted from anger over this, and it was fortunate she had her medicine with her. Otherwise, God knows what would have happened!
That was just one thing, Xiahou Yutong had such a big reaction; if they really went through with the damn divorce, she might have been angered to death by herself.
Then there was Qiu Shuihan. After leaving the villa last night, he didn’t return until after midnight, and he didn’t even speak to her this morning. Additionally, he was about to leave this place with Xiahou Yutong.
Qiu Ruoxi earnestly pleaded, repeatedly assured that she would definitely not divorce Ye Xunhuan, and that she would have him come back today. That was what finally made them stop insisting.
And Qiu Shuihan said this very morning if he didn’t see Ye Xunhuan return today, he would leave immediately and forever consider that he didn’t have this daughter.
Qiu Ruoxi knew her father’s temperament well; if he said something, he would definitely follow through with it.
Moreover, Qiu Shuihan had actually raised his hand to hit her yesterday, but luckily Ye Xunhuan blocked it for her. Otherwise, it would have been her with a swollen face today.
Thinking of Ye Xunhuan shielding her from Qiu Shuihan’s slap and the words he said to Qiu Shuihan, a warm current involuntarily flowed through Qiu Ruoxi’s heart.
She admitted that she didn’t like Ye Xunhuan, and even held contempt towards him.
But she had to admit, Ye Xunhuan was truly manly yesterday, especially those words he said. Her own wife, how could she be bullied? Even her father-in-law had no right to hit her, and this deeply touched the tender spot at the bottom of her heart, Qiu Ruoxi’s.
And last night, she had learned from Xiahou Yutong that Ye Xunhuan hadn’t tattled, and even had been making excuses for her. It was her own father who had wrung the words out of him!
This made Qiu Ruoxi feel even more remorseful and guilty toward Ye Xunhuan.
She had spoken harshly about him, but he had still shielded her from that slap from Qiu Shuihan and had protected her behind him, not letting her father harm her in the slightest.
At that moment, she even had the illusion that as long as this man stood before her, as long as he didn’t allow it, no one would be able to bully her at all.
Reflecting on the days since she married Ye Xunhuan, although he was often unreliable and lacked ambition, Qiu Ruoxi had to acknowledge that Ye Xunhuan had never forced her into anything. To say they were treating each other with mutual respect might be false, but it was true that Ye Xunhuan had never laid a finger on her, Qiu Ruoxi.
If it were another man, facing her, could he restrain himself from touching her?
After all, she was his lawful wife!
If she looked for another man, could she find someone who would respect her like he did?
"And a handsome man like me, with good performance, should not have a hard time finding another wife," Ye Xunhuan said somewhat narcissistically as he touched his chin, "Alright, hurry and agree to divorce. That way I won’t delay you, and you won’t delay me..."
Qiu Ruoxi let out a heavy snort, "In your dreams!"
"I’m telling you, I am not going to divorce you today, don’t even think about it!"
"Qiu Ruoxi, you..."
"Thinking about marrying other women, you better let go of that idea!" Qiu Ruoxi said coldly, cutting off Ye Xunhuan’s words.
"Hey, you..."
"Until I find a suitable man, you must act as my husband!"
"What do you mean?" Ye Xunhuan asked, already having a hunch about Qiu Ruoxi’s intention, and spoke somewhat distressedly.
"Looking for a better one while on board!"
"Am I the donkey you’re referring to?" Ye Xunhuan asked, pointing at his nose.
"What do you think?"
