Chapter 393: Are you so impatient?

Qiao Shiyan, who had not been seen for a long time, returned home.

Su Man had returned to Haicheng for several days, and this was the first time she saw Qiao Shiyan since her return.

Qiao Shiyan was dressed in a suit and tie, looking like an elite, and was carrying a small luggage bag.

Su Man's eyes fell on the luggage bag. Qiao Shiyan explained, "The law firm has a big case these days, and we've been running around a lot. For convenience, we're staying overnight at the law firm."

Su Man nodded and replied softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

No further questions were asked.

She clearly didn't care.

After a moment of dejection, Qiao Shiyan asked, "I heard last night that my aunt came home and caused quite a commotion. She didn't give you any trouble in the end, did she?"

"She wanted to take Doudou away, but I don't know who called the police, and the police came and stopped her," said Su Man.

"I see..."

At this time, Chen Ma and Ye Ling passed by upstairs.

When Aunt Chen saw Qiao Shiyan, she stopped and introduced him to Ye Ling: "This is Mr. Qiao."

Ye Ling quickly finished talking to Qiao Shiyan and bowed, "Hello, Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Shiyan didn't know what was going on for a moment.

Su Man explained: "This is to avoid a situation like yesterday. I found another live-in nanny."

Qiao Shiyan nodded: "Okay."

There was a lump on Su Man's forehead. Qiao Shiyan seemed to have just noticed it. "Are you hurt?"

Su Man touched the wound on her head and said, "It's okay, just a bump."

She didn't explain too much in detail, and her attitude towards Qiao Shiyan became even more distant than before.

In her heart, the two of them were going to divorce tomorrow, and there was no difference between them and the divorced people. Since there was no longer any interest binding them together, there was no need for Qiao Shiyan to worry about her affairs.

She was also not used to bothering an outsider.

"Was it your aunt who did it?" Qiao Shiyan didn't want to let the matter go like this. He frowned and looked a little angry.

"She tried to snatch the child from me,"

Qiao Shiyan slammed the bag onto the coffee table. "She's really going too far!"

He walked up to Su Man and said sincerely, "Man Man, can we not get divorced? I really can't bear to leave you alone. You have to support such a big family, take care of the children, and have such a worrying aunt. You need a man by your side to protect you. If I'm not here, what happened yesterday will happen again."

Qiao Shiyan said this and went over to pull Suman's hand.

As soon as she touched it, Su Man pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

"Senior, if you don't divorce me, what will happen to your female colleague? You should be living together already." Su Man glanced at the luggage bag.

Qiao Shiyan's face turned pale and blue, and he couldn't utter a word of denial for a long time.

Su Man smiled gently and calmly: "I sincerely wish you that you can find your happiness, and I also hope the best for you from the bottom of my heart. I will remember your help and kindness to me before, and I will do my best to help you in the future if you need my help."

Su Man was so open-minded that Qiao Shiyan suddenly couldn't say anything to keep her.

She had never had any romantic feelings for him.

"After that, will you find someone else to take care of you?"

Su Man thought about it and shook her head: "Probably not. In fact, when two people are together, how can one person take care of the other unilaterally? A relationship can only last long if both parties take care of each other and support each other. No one can completely take advantage of the other. I don't have so much energy now to take care of another person. I just want to take good care of Doudou and realize my self-worth. That will make me very satisfied."

She said with a mischievous smile, "As for what you said, a woman needs a man no matter what. But when you are around, won't what is supposed to happen also happen?"

Qiao Shiyan was stunned.

He subconsciously thought of what happened to Suman last night.

Yes, he is Suman’s husband, but where was he when Suman was in trouble?

Did he show up in time to protect Suman?

Did he save Suman from harm?

He even used the excuse of being busy with work to shirk his responsibility when Chen Ma called for help.

The wound on Su Man's forehead became very glaring at this moment.

What he said just now seemed like a slap in his own face.

He had clearly intended to use this incident to frighten Su Man and make her more dependent on him. Unexpectedly, it only strengthened Su Man's determination to live on her own.

With him or without him, she can live well on her own.

She can kill gods when she meets them, and kill Buddhas when she meets them.

She doesn't need to rely on men.

She is her own support.

"I understand..." Qiao Shiyan was a little dazed, "Manman, I'm sorry, I really had something to do last night and couldn't leave."

"I understand. The law firm is just starting out, and you're very busy. I support your work. Didn't the matter get resolved in the end? Don't worry." Su Man's deer-like eyes widened. "I didn't mean to imply anything when I said that just now! I meant that I can be on my own, and you don't have to worry about me."

"Hmm..." Qiao Shiyan's face was dim and he had no strength left. "Then I'll go upstairs first."

"Okay, in a little while, we can have dinner."

Su Man greeted Qiao Shiyan as usual.

To her, their relationship had never changed.

Qiao Shiyan tried hard to hold up the corners of his mouth, "Okay."

A night passed.

Early the next morning, Su Man packed up and waited for Qiao Shiyan downstairs.

Today is the day when the cooling-off period ends.

They are officially getting divorced.

Ye Ling’s learning ability is indeed very strong. In just half a day, she was able to basically adapt to the environment and rhythm of Su Man’s home and began to take care of Doudou.

Su Man is going out today to register for divorce with Qiao Shiyan, and Doudou is left to Ye Ling's care.

At this moment, Ye Ling was holding Doudou and feeding him.

While coaxing Doudou, he said to Suman happily: "Madam, Doudou slept very soundly last night and didn't make any noise. I found that he liked the little purple dinosaur very much. As soon as he held the dinosaur, he stopped making noises."

"Yes, you've observed carefully. I heard that some children have their own Abebe. That little purple dinosaur is most likely Doudou's Abebe."

"I understand the Abebe complex. The technical term in psychology is 'transitional object.' It refers to the first possession a baby creates to combat separation anxiety and achieve self-satisfaction. A blanket, an old piece of clothing, a toy, could all potentially become a child's 'Abebe.'"

Su Man smiled and praised: "You know a lot about parenting and are very good at taking care of children."

Mother Chen watched from the side, unable to get a word in, and felt very unhappy.

She doesn't understand psychology, nor does she know anything about Abebe.

She fell behind and was eliminated.

When Qiao Shiyan came down from upstairs, he was stunned to see Su Man already dressed and waiting for him.

"Let's have breakfast. After breakfast, we will set off for the Civil Affairs Bureau. It's early now, so you shouldn't have to queue and it won't take up too much of your time." Su Man smiled with her eyes curved, which pierced Qiao Shiyan's eyes.

"Manman, are you so impatient that you want to divorce me?"
