Ji Chen looked at Jiang Xue, who seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him.

He tactfully served himself a bowl of rice.

"Let's get a divorce," Jiang Xue said directly and without hesitation.

"And I will pay back the money I took from you to help my family."

Ji Chen choked on his food and coughed repeatedly. He never dreamed that Jiang Xue would bring up divorce on her own initiative.

Although he didn't like her, he never thought of being irresponsible and divorcing her.

"I never said I wanted a divorce." His voice was deep and domineering.

Jiang Xue scoffed inwardly. She didn't want to spend her whole life like this, confusedly following a man she didn't love.

"I want Mommy... Mommy..."

"The little dumpling on the bed must have woken up from hunger." Jiang Xue hurriedly dropped the bowl and chopsticks and rushed into the room.

Jiang Xue gently picked up the three-year-old baby from the bed and said, "Go and bring me the porridge that's simmering in the enamel pot on the stove."

After a two-second pause, Ji Chen obediently went to the kitchen to get the porridge.

He handed the porridge to Jiang Xue, saying, "My sister will be back in a few days to take them away. She's found a new man and said she'll come and pick up the two kids once she's found a place to stay."

Jiang Xue was taken aback. "Where is the child's father?"

“I was selling goods in a village in Jiangbei when I caught the eye of a well-off local family, and I became their son-in-law.”

Ji Chen spoke cautiously, glancing at Jiang Xue's expression from time to time.

Jiang Xue's lips twitched. Didn't everyone say that people in the 1980s were simple and unpretentious?

But thinking about it, it's understandable. The world is full of wonders. Some people are simple and honest, while others are fierce and unruly. Their main focus is on competing for attention.

“Okay, then, I’ll take care of the baby for a few days, and you don’t need to pay me. I’ll use these few days to find a place to live and a job, and then we’ll get a divorce.” Jiang Xue held the little baby in her lap and fed him spoonful by spoonful.

"Also, if you want to marry Xie Xiaotian, you should talk to her and tell her not to rush and to wait another month or two."

Jiang Xue was also forced into a corner, but in the current situation she didn't even have a place to stay, so she wasn't in a hurry for the next couple of days.

Ji Chen's face grew increasingly pale and weak, his haggard appearance revealing his exhaustion.

His lips trembled slightly. "I didn't say I wanted to marry her."
