Chapter 114 Divorce Application

Lin Yifei walked through the crowd of onlookers, and no one stopped him this time; they all looked at him with sympathy.

Seeing that they had dispersed, Gu Yihan quickly stepped to the side, pressed herself against the wall, took out a book from her bag, and used it to cover her face.

Xiao He wasn't as quick to react as Gu Yihan, and he happened to run into Lin Yifei. He pretended not to know him and gave him a wink.

Lin Yifei paused for a moment. He recognized Xiao He and, seeing that the other was not wearing a military uniform, guessed that he was on a mission.

"Brother Yifei, wait for me!" Lin Yifei quickened his pace after hearing Qiao Shuhui's call.

Qiao Shuhui jogged, chasing after Lin Yifei.

Shen Yujie strode to Qiao Shuhui's side and grabbed her wrist: "Xiaohui, if he divorces you, you must tell me."

He looked at Qiao Shuhui with a serious expression and said, "I will marry you."

Looking at the other person's miserable face, Qiao Shuhui thought that, logically speaking, Lin Yifei's family background was not as good as Shen Yujie's.

But Qiao Shuhui wanted to be superior to others and improve her social status.

This is something Shen Yujie can't give her; only Lin Yifei can satisfy her.

Therefore, Qiao Shuhui said with a troubled expression, "Brother Yujie, I will not divorce Lin Yifei."

She reached out and touched her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with apology, and said, "I can't let my child not have a complete family. I'm sorry, Brother Yufei."

After saying that, Qiao Shuhui shook off his hand and ran towards Lin Yifei.

Although Lin Yifei walked quickly and was far away from Shen Yujie and the others, he still managed to hear their conversation.

Lin Yifei sneered, "Whether or not to get a divorce is not up to you."

And so, the two of them, one walking quickly and the other jogging after them, disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yihan witnessed the whole process. Just as she took the book off her face, she saw Shen Yujie not far from her.

Shen Yujie also saw Gu Yihan and said with a wry smile, "Sister-in-law, when did you arrive?"

Gu Yihan was extremely embarrassed, but she chuckled and said, "When you were getting beaten up."

Shen Yujie: "..."

"Well, it's getting late, I'll be going now." Gu Yihan said and ran towards her bicycle.

Shen Yujie looked at Gu Yihan running away and shouted, "Sister-in-law!"

"I'm going to get married according to my family's arrangements. When you go back, tell Brother Lu that he'd like to come over for a drink sometime."

Gu Yihan stopped in her tracks, thinking to herself, "Why is she married? Who is she marrying? When is the wedding? Can she go?"

"Why don't you explain it clearly? Her hands are really like cat claws."

She turned to Shen Yujie with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll tell Lu Huailin when I get back."

Gu Yihan rode her bicycle and quickly headed straight for the family compound.

Shen Yujie turned back into the alley, picked up Qiao Shuhui's bicycle, and murmured, "I hope you won't regret it."

Family compound

Lin Yifei returned to his bedroom, opened the closet, and quickly gathered a few changes of clothes.

Before the divorce application was approved, he planned to stay in the dormitory for a few days.

Qiao Shuhui walked into the bedroom looking disheveled and sat directly on the bed.

She stared blankly at Lin Yifei, muttering, "Brother Yifei, I love you, and I will never divorce you."

Upon hearing Qiao Shuhui's voice, Lin Yifei's mind went blank, and he angrily shouted, "Shut up."

"Hearing those words from you made me feel nauseous. I never realized you called everyone 'brother'."

When Qiao Shuhui saw Lin Yifei looking at her with disgust, her heart sank.

She smiled sadly: "Yifei, I'm not going to divorce you. If you dare to divorce me, I'll hang myself with the child at the entrance of the military base."

Lin Yifei paused in packing his clothes, stared at her coldly, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Are you threatening me?"

Qiao Shuhui glared at Lin Yifei with bloodshot eyes and said, "You're going to divorce me, what am I supposed to do?"

"We love each other so much, and you even defied your parents' wishes to marry me for my sake, so why can't you forgive me this time?"

“My relationship with Shen Yujie is completely innocent; I haven’t done anything inappropriate with him.”

Lin Yifei looked at her and sneered, "You can kiss her, and you still say you're innocent? Do I have to catch you in bed with someone else before you'll admit it?"

"Lin Yifei, you can't think of me as such a despicable person. It would make me regret marrying you."

Lin Yifei chuckled and stared at Qiao Shuhui with icy eyes.

He said, word by word, "The thing I regret most is marrying you."

Qiao Shuhui was stunned when she heard this. She looked up and let the tears slide down her cheeks.

She burst into laughter, then looked at Lin Yifei with icy eyes: "Besides me, who else do you want to marry?"

"Is it that bitch Gu Yihan? Ever since she came to the family compound, you've changed."

Qiao Shuhui pounced on Lin Yifei frantically, scratching and clawing at his face with her long fingernails.

"When did you fall for her? Huh? When did that bitch seduce you?"

Even though Lin Yifei dodged quickly, Qiao Shuhui's haphazard hands scratched his neck, and he heard her words becoming increasingly outrageous.

He couldn't take it anymore and slapped Qiao Shuhui across the face: "Are you crazy? I won't stop you if you want to die."

Qiao Shuhui's ears were ringing from the slap Yi slapped her. She looked at Lin Yifei in disbelief: "You actually dared to hit me?"

Lin Yifei was so angry that he grabbed a few changes of clothes and said, "If you want to have the child, I will take responsibility for it."

"If you don't want to have the baby, I'll sign the consent form when you have the surgery." After saying that, she opened the bedroom door and went straight out of the family building.

In this large room, only Qiao Shuhui remained, gazing at the house she had once meticulously decorated.

They laughed and cried at the same time; how much they loved each other back then! They did housework together, took walks together, and watched movies together.

Memories flooded Qiao Shuhui's mind. Ever since Gu Yihan came to the family compound, Lin Yifei had changed.

Qiao Shuhui whispered, "If you weren't there, would Lin Yifei not be affected, and would we be able to live happily ever after?"

the next day

Lin Yifei trained in the morning, had lunch at the cafeteria at noon, and then returned to his dormitory.

He searched around his dorm room before finding paper and pen, and wrote a divorce application.

Zhang Brigade Commander's Office

Lin Yifei pursed his lips and handed the divorce application to Commander Zhang.

After taking the document, Brigade Commander Zhang glanced at the contents, placed it in the desk drawer, and looked at Lin Yifei seriously, saying, "It's decided. No regrets?"

Lin Yifei looked seriously into Brigade Commander Zhang's eyes and replied, "Commander, I have no regrets."

Brigade Commander Zhang waved his hand at Lin Yifei: "Alright, you can go back now. I'll keep an eye on the divorce application."

After thanking him, Lin Yifei left Brigade Commander Zhang's office. He looked up at the blinding sunlight, a tear glistening in his eye. He was about to be free.
