Chapter 243 I'm asking you to divorce him, are you willing?

Xue Ling gave her an awkward look. "What do you want from me?"

Xiao Lin paused for a moment and said, "I mainly came to apologize to you. I think what I said to you at the Yang family's house before, and what happened to you in the hospital, are somewhat related to me. I should apologize to you in front of you."

Xue Ling twitched the corners of her mouth. Xiao Lin was acting generously and calmly. If she were to nitpick, she would seem unreasonable.

Xiao Lin glanced at Yang Han, who instantly understood her meaning, stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom, you two chat."

He said this and then walked out.

After he walked away, Xiao Lin finally spoke to Xue Ling, "You really like Yang Han?"

Xue Ling looked down at the coffee in front of her and said sullenly, "What's the use of liking it?"

Xiao Lin said, "Um... I'm sorry, although I don't know about your past, I didn't know you existed when I married him, nor had I heard about your relationship."

"If I had known, I wouldn't have married him."

Xue Ling looked up at Xiao Lin, whose face showed no mockery, as if she were simply stating a fact.

Xue Ling said, "Now that you know, I'm asking you to divorce him. Are you willing?"

Xiao Lin remained silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.

Xue Ling stared intently at her, and her silence seemed to give Xue Ling hope.

Xiao Lin suddenly said, "Xue Ling, I don't know how to explain this to you. Marriage is not something that one person can decide, nor is it as simple as you think."

"I just don't agree," Xue Ling said irritably.

Xiao Lin wasn't particularly angry about her attitude. She simply said, "I have no objections. If you insist on a divorce, I can agree."

"But I have to tell you that it's not enough for me to agree to this. Yang Han has to agree too. Otherwise, even if I divorce him, you won't be happy."

Xue Ling didn't speak again, but chose to remain silent.

Xiao Lin said, "I believe you have already communicated with him. If he had agreed, you wouldn't have gone to the hospital."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Xue Ling was already getting impatient.

"I just wanted to apologize to you and have a chat, nothing more. There's nothing wrong with liking someone, but if your liking hurts those around you and causes trouble for others, then that liking will become less acceptable."

Xiao Lin's words were tactful; Xue Ling understood half of them, but not the other half.

Basically, the gist of it is telling her not to cause trouble, right?

Xiao Lin added, "I can tell that Yang Han likes you quite a bit, probably the kind of liking an older brother has for his younger sister."

"But if you do something to make things difficult for him, I think he might turn that affection into hatred. You don't want to lose even your friendship, do you?"

“Who wants him as a friend? I don’t lack friends.” Everyone knew Xue Ling’s stubbornness, but this was within Xiao Lin’s expectations.

"Yes, if you can be together, who would want to be friends?"

"If you can resist contacting him and thinking about him in the future, it's okay not to be friends."

Xiao Lin's words puzzled Xue Ling. "What do you mean? Are you saying I can still contact him in the future?"

“What reason do I have to stop you from contacting him?” Xiao Lin retorted.

"But, but aren't you angry?"

Xiao Lin shook her head slightly: "This is your behavior, it has nothing to do with him. I will believe him. If he can't stick to his principles and I can't keep him, it's my problem."

Xue Ling's gaze towards her grew increasingly strange, because she didn't understand Xiao Lin's thought process, nor could she discern whether Xiao Lin liked Yang Han or not.

After a while, Xue Ling asked her, "How did you and Yang Han meet?"

We met through a blind date.

"A blind date?"

Xiao Lin nodded: "Mm."

Do you like him?

A hint of confusion flashed in Xiao Lin's eyes, "What does it mean to like someone?"

"Like me, I'm willing to die for him."

Xiao Lin answered decisively, "Then I probably don't like him. I wouldn't die for him."

These words left Xue Ling speechless, and she felt a vague anger. Of course, she couldn't force others to believe that liking someone meant being willing to die for them, so the anger in her heart was neither rising nor falling.

Xiao Lin said, "To die for a man so easily is irresponsible to oneself and one's family."

"If I were to die for a man who doesn't love me, and all that would hurt are my family and friends, while the man wouldn't feel sad at all, I would think it's not worth it."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ling recalled Qiao Yi's haggard face and their worry for her, and a sense of guilt inexplicably arose in her heart.

But it must be said that Xiao Lin's words were a wake-up call for Xue Ling.

She was willing to die for a man who didn't love her; she only hurt the people who cared about her, not the man, so she felt it wasn't worth it.

After chatting with Xiao Lin for a while, Xue Ling completely lost her temper.

Moreover, it made Xue Ling realize that she no longer had any reason to break them up, let alone make them divorce.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Lin said, "These are just my personal thoughts. Of course, you can go back and think about them carefully. You're so young, don't risk your life out of spite."

"Because it makes no sense."

Xue Ling glared at her. "Do you usually talk to Yang Han like this?"

"More or less."

Xue Ling didn't want to talk anymore, so she stood up and said, "I'm leaving."

Just then, Yang Han walked over at the perfect moment. "Have you finished talking?"

Xiao Lin said, "Yes, Xue Ling is going back. You can see her off."

She was so 'generous' that Xue Ling and Yang Han were both a little taken aback.

Xue Ling didn't stand on ceremony with her. She raised her chin and looked at Yang Han, "Did you hear that? I asked you to give me a ride!"

Yang Han sighed helplessly, took out his car keys from his pocket, and said, "Let's go."

Anyway, he still had something to say to Xue Ling.

Xue Ling followed him to the parking lot. When she saw the Rolls-Royce, she pouted and said, "Why didn't you drive your Wuling Hongguang today?"

"Why would I drive that thing? I'm not going to see Qiao Xing."

"Hmph, you two conspired to deceive my sister-in-law, let's see how you get out of this." Xue Ling opened the car door and got in.

Yang Han got in as well, fastening his seatbelt as he said, "What does this have to do with me? This is your brother's business. Besides, if I don't cooperate with Lao Qin, do you expect me to tell Qiao Xing the truth?"

"If things continue like this, I'll be the one who can't handle the situation in the end."
