After five years of marriage, I treated my wife with utmost care, only to discover her abortion slip in the closet.
She actively brought me to a friend's gathering, which turned out to be...
"If you dare to leave, I will divorce you."
divorce?
Xu Yanshu paused slightly, thinking that this might be a good opportunity for negotiation.
Just as he was about to speak, he unexpectedly noticed Lu Huai standing next to him out of the corner of his eye.
"What are you standing there for? Come over and help me support it!"
Okay, we need to get rid of this guy first.
Xu Yanshu then stepped forward, took the person from Xie Huanyu's hands, and patiently helped the person into the car.
"Go drive! To the Lu family mansion."
Xie Huanyu waved her hand imperiously at Xu Yanshu, then got into the car and sat next to Lu Huai, letting him lean on her while considerately patting his back.
How thoughtful!
Xu Yanshu watched this scene without making a sound, curled his lips indifferently, then turned around, walked around the front of the car, and after settling in, stepped on the gas and started the car.
He knew perfectly well that Xie Huanyu had deliberately threatened him, but he was truly determined to get a divorce and didn't want to continue suffering like this.
Xu Yanshu unconsciously tapped the steering wheel with his slender fingers, secretly pondering his next negotiation strategy.
He believes he is willing to make some concessions regarding property, provided they can reach a peaceful and amicable divorce agreement.
The drunkard in the back seat gradually became restless, muttering in his sleep with a pained expression, "Huanyu, am I really so useless? If I were more outstanding, could I have married you?"
"No, that's not true, Ah Huai. You're the best in my heart!" Xie Huanyu quickly comforted her.
Xu Yanshu didn't quite hear what Lu Huai said, but he saw the woman's moved expression in the rearview mirror, and his eyes flashed with a meaningful light.
No wonder people say, "A man can make you cry when he's three-tenths drunk," there's definitely some truth to that.
"Huanyu, Xu Yanshu is just a spineless simp. Luckily, you've wanted to dump him for a while now. Once you divorce him, we can be together without any problems!"
Xie Huanyu didn't expect Lu Huai to say such a thing. She unconsciously glanced at Xu Yanshu and said, "Huai has had too much to drink. Don't take what he said to heart."
"It's alright!"
Xu Yanshu gave a concise and to-the-point answer.
Having already made up his mind to divorce, he naturally wouldn't bother with such trivial details anymore.
This nonchalant attitude struck Xie Huanyu as odd. Wasn't this person the one who most avoided her contact with Lu Huai before...?
"I've already said, Ah Huai and I are just ordinary friends right now,"
"I've let bygones be bygones, but don't try anything funny again. I don't have the patience to put up with your antics!"
Xu Yanshu frowned in confusion. "Small actions? I don't understand what you're talking about!"
Xie Huanyu hesitated, but out of consideration for Xu Yanshu's feelings, she didn't say anything, though her red lips unconsciously curled upwards.
She only mentioned divorce once, and he immediately gave in, which shows that he is still very afraid of losing her.
Although this kind of manipulative tactic is childish, it's still better than the previous lifeless existence.
Xie Huanyu glanced at Xu Yanshu again, a smile gradually appearing in her eyes. Now she felt that this man was not as rigid and boring as she had imagined.
Xu Yanshu genuinely didn't know why Xie Huanyu would say that. He unconsciously recalled everything that had happened recently, trying to figure out what had caused Xie Huanyu to have such a misunderstanding.
Before he could figure things out, he arrived at the Lu mansion.
Xie Huanyu opened the car door first. She had originally planned to help Lu Huai in herself, but found that she couldn't move him at all, so she had to ask.
"Xu Yanshu, could you please do me another favor?"
How long are you planning to keep this up?
Xu Yanshu frowned impatiently, even though Lu Huai had already woken up long ago.
Ultimately, deciding it was better to avoid trouble, he unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and patiently helped Xie Huanyu to the door.
Xie Huanyu reached out and knocked on the door. A moment later, the mahogany door was opened.
"Oh, young master, why have you drunk so much?" A middle-aged man quickly helped Lu Huai up, then smiled apologetically at Xie Huanyu, "Miss Xie, thank you for your trouble again!"
"Uncle Li, there's no need to be so polite!"
Noticing Xu Yanshu beside him, Uncle Li's smile instantly turned serious, and his words became impolite, "Xiao Xu, since you're already here, why don't you help him out a bit!"
"You have absolutely no sense of propriety!"
These words made Xie Huanyu feel inexplicably uncomfortable, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Seeing that Xu Yanshu had already turned and left, she didn't have time to think too much. She hurriedly greeted Uncle Li and then chased after him.
After getting into the car, Xie Huanyu noticed that Xu Yanshu's expression was not very good.
She instinctively opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
Men shouldn't be spoiled; ultimately, it's just a small matter.
If I go out of my way to comfort him, there's no guarantee he won't become more and more arrogant in the future, or even take advantage of me.
They walked in silence until they entered the house one after the other.
After changing out of her high heels, Xie Huanyu walked towards the living room on her own, giving instructions as she did so.
"Get me a bottle of soda water, at room temperature!"
Xu Yanshu paused slightly, intending to ignore it, but thinking about the divorce he would be discussing later, he turned and went to the kitchen.
Xu Yanshu handed the soda water to the woman, then turned and sat down on the soft couch, considering how to begin the conversation.
She took the initiative and said, "I want to talk to you about the divorce!"
divorce?
Xie Huanyu paused in her drinking.
