at night.
Qin Zichuan secretly climbed onto Ye Zhaoyu's wall. Just as he was about to climb down, he suddenly smelled a floral fragrance, closed his eyes, and fell down.
The next morning, Ye Zhaoyu got up and saw Qin Zichuan in the courtyard.
"Sigh, wake up."
Ye Zhaoyu kicked Qin Zichuan; she was still angry.
Qin Zichuan woke up groggily and, upon seeing Ye Zhaoyu, immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."
"That's not the problem."
Ye Zhaoyu walked to a chair not far away and sat down.
"Oh, you're angry because I doubt you, aren't you?"
Qin Zichuan thought that Ye Zhaoyu was angry because of this issue.
"Not entirely. We got married because of an accident. It's normal for you to have doubts. What makes me angry is that you, a regimental commander, are brainless. You knew Lin Zhizhi liked you, yet you still tried to break us up. You believed everything she said without even questioning it."
It's normal for Qin Zichuan not to believe her. They've been married for less than half a year, and they haven't spent much time together—probably less than a month in total. At this point, there's no point in talking about trust or understanding; being able to live together depends entirely on responsibility.
Therefore, when Qin Zichuan suspected her in such a situation, she could explain herself, and would only throw a little tantrum, which would pass quickly.
What Ye Zhaoyu found hard to accept was that this misunderstanding was created by Lin Zhizhi.
He knew Lin Zhizhi had feelings for him, and he preferred to believe the woman who had drugged him rather than believe her.
"I..." Qin Zichuan didn't know what to say. At that moment, he truly believed it, and there was no way to refute it.
The more Qin Zichuan learned about Ye Zhaoyu, the more he realized how much Ling Yunjue liked and understood her.
If it weren't for the accident, he wouldn't have had the chance to marry Ye Zhaoyu.
Ye Zhaoyu was different from other women. She wouldn't revolve around him, nor would she give up her own pursuits, such as studying and having children, for him. If she felt something was unsuitable, she would never change her mind, which made him feel very insecure.
"I know I didn't trust you, and that was wrong of me. I apologize."
Qin Zichuan knelt at Ye Zhaoyu's feet and apologized.
"Get up. I don't like kneeling around." Ye Zhaoyu felt a little sad looking at Qin Zichuan like this.
Is he kneeling down to threaten me into forgiving him, threatening not to get up until I forgive him?
"If you forgive me, I'll get up. Wife, please forgive me," Qin Zichuan pleaded with Ye Zhaoyu.
"Qin Zichuan, this isn't a big deal, but if you keep kneeling, I'll think you're forcing me to divorce you."
Ye Zhaoyu didn't try to pull Qin Zichuan away; let him kneel if he wanted.
Qin Zichuan immediately denied it after hearing Ye Zhaoyu's words.
"I didn't, I just want you to forgive me."
"No, you're not begging for my forgiveness. There are many ways to beg for my forgiveness, but you chose to kneel down, hoping that I would soften my heart and forgive you quickly?
Ye Zhaoyu felt that kneeling and begging for forgiveness was the most shameful thing, and that it was more like coercion than begging.
"I... I can't blame myself. I think the lack of trust between us is because we don't have children. Having a child would make things much better."
Seeing that Ye Zhaoyu was truly angry, Qin Zichuan quickly stood up and tried to explain guiltily.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhaoyu asked incredulously, "So having a child means you can trust me unconditionally?"
"Yes, I promise that once we have a child, we'll be a family. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
Qin Zichuan made a vow.
Ye Zhaoyu found it laughable. "After having a child, you don't trust me. It's because after having a child, you know that a mother can endure anything and give up everything for her child."
"No, it's just that a family only becomes complete with children. I'm already 30 years old, so isn't it normal to want children?"
Qin Zichuan also felt a little wronged.
"When we got married, we said we wouldn't have children for two years, have you forgotten?"
"No, I just feel that our relationship is pretty good, so having children sooner will make our relationship more stable."
Qin Zichuan felt that his idea was correct. With children, the family would be stable, and people's minds would not wander. No matter where they went, they would think about their home and children.
"Let's get a divorce! If you want to have children, you can find someone else to have them after the divorce. I'm not suitable for you."
Ye Zhaoyu decisively filed for divorce.
Qin Zichuan didn't hear what Ye Zhaoyu said clearly. "What did you say? I heard 'divorce'? Did I hear wrong?"
"You heard me right, let's get a divorce! We're not right for each other."
Ye Zhaoyu felt that she had tried her best, but she didn't know how the marriage could fall apart under such circumstances.
"I might not be fully awake yet. I have other things to do, so I'll head back first."
Qin Zichuan didn't believe what he heard, so he made an excuse and left quickly.
Ye Zhaoyu sat in the pavilion for two hours in the cold wind, feeling dizzy, and went back to sleep. That afternoon, she developed a high fever.
When Ye Fei arrived, Ye Zhaoyu was already delirious with fever.
"What's wrong with her? Why did she suddenly develop a high fever?" Shen Qingyang examined Ye Zhaoyu and prescribed medicine.
“I checked the yard; someone must have come in yesterday.”
Ye Fei recounted what he had discovered.
"Who do you think it could be? It can't be Qin Zichuan, can it?"
Shen Qingyang guessed that Ye Zhaoyu had also been troubled by this matter recently.
The two of them took turns guessing each other's meaning.
Ye Zhaoyu was sick for two days, but after she recovered, she resumed going to and from school as usual.
Since that day, Qin Zichuan has not come to see Ye Zhaoyu again, and the two have remained cold towards each other.
Ye Zhaoyu put this person out of her mind and continued with her own business.
At her son's prompting, Qin's mother went to find Ye Zhaoyu.
"Zhaozhao, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you come home."
"Mom, I've been busy developing a new drug lately, so I haven't been home yet. I'll be back soon after this busy period."
The explanation of Ye Zhaoyu's aloofness.
Qin's mother sensed the change in Ye Zhaoyu's attitude, and she also knew about the incident at school.
Because of this, Lin Zhizhi's mother even came to her, hoping that the Qin family could let Lin Zhizhi off this time.
Qin's mother thought that since they were all colleagues, she agreed.
After all, Ye Zhaoyu wasn't harmed.
"Oh, I thought you were still angry with Zichuan. He's just a careless man, not as thoughtful as a girl. He still trusts you."
Qin's mother gently comforted Ye Zhaoyu by holding her hand.
“I’m angry with him, Mom. When we got married, we agreed that we would have a child two years later. Now he’s asking me to have one. Isn’t that breaking our promise?”
Ye Zhaoyu had some guesses about why Qin's mother had come. Before Qin's mother spoke, she first asked her a question to see how she would answer.
Qin's mother had always wanted a grandson, and she knew that. Recently, there had been rumors of many pregnant women in the family compound. In addition, Shen Qingyang said that Qin Zichuan had gone back home, and Qin's mother came to see him again today, probably because of the baby.
