Si Lijue's face gradually darkened, and an unnamed fire burned fiercely in his heart.
He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if only in this way could he suppress the surging emotions within him.
At that moment, he felt the air around him become heavy, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He waited until Su Niannian finished speaking, then suddenly asked, "Su Niannian, do you want a divorce and want to take my son with you?"
Does this woman even know what she's saying? You have to understand, her love for him runs deep, she even took a huge risk to give birth to his child, and raised him alone with great difficulty.
With such deep feelings for him, how could she easily bear to divorce him?
Could it be that some unknown event has really happened to Su Niannian? Or is there some unspeakable secret about her that he doesn't know about?
Thinking of this, Si Lijue frowned, his heart filled with doubt and worry.
Su Niannian felt that the man in front of her seemed to have misunderstood her meaning. She nodded first, then shook her head, and hurriedly explained, "No, it's not that I want to divorce you. We were going to divorce in a year anyway."
I just don't want my son to live a life of being bullied like Nannan, which is why I discussed it with you beforehand.
She wasn't lying; she was genuinely afraid that Xibao would become a child no one loved, living a life of uncertainty, or that on his birthday, he would sit alone in a corner, heartbroken, just like Nannan.
Just thinking about these things made Su Niannian's heart ache as if it were being slowly tortured with a dull knife.
"Who said we're getting a divorce in a year?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Si Lijue's deep eyes. He stretched out his long, strong arm and pulled Su Niannian tightly into his broad, warm embrace.
He noticed the worry and pain on Su Niannian's face, and vaguely sensed something amiss in her words. He felt he had to do something, otherwise, this woman might do something unusual.
Si Lijue held the little woman in his arms tightly, making her almost unable to move at all.
A moment later, he lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and said irritably, "Let me tell you, Su Niannian, I will absolutely not divorce you! You'd better give up this unrealistic idea as soon as possible!" His tone was filled with an unquestionable domineering air and a solemn promise.
Then, he loosened his grip on her slightly to make her more comfortable in his arms. He still held her slender waist firmly with one hand, while gently lifting her chin with the other, forcing her to look into his eyes.
His gaze was as intense as a burning flame, staring straight into Su Niannian's eyes, and he continued, "And remember this: in this world, no one dares to bully my son!"
"If anyone dares to lay a finger on him, I will make that person pay a terrible price!" After saying that, he narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a chilling glint in them.
Seeing Si Lijue's domineering and protective demeanor, and hearing his resounding voice, Su Niannian felt her unease and anxiety subside somewhat.
In order to secure a bright future for her son and ensure his safe upbringing, Su Niannian fearlessly continued in a low voice, "Even if you marry another woman in the future, you won't let her bully our son, right?"
Si Lijue sighed in exasperation when he saw Su Niannian stubbornly insisting that he would marry another woman and refusing to let go of this topic.
He sighed softly, "Sigh! I told you I wouldn't divorce you, so how could I possibly marry another woman? You're such a silly girl." After saying that, he flicked Su Niannian's forehead.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Su Niannian reached out and covered her forehead, complaining with dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Si Lijue smiled slyly and said, feigning anger, "This is your punishment. Let's see if you'll continue to make things up and spout nonsense in the future."
Su Niannian looked at Si Lijue with a wronged expression, pouted, and said indignantly, "I'm not making this up. We were originally in a contract marriage for a year."
A year from now, we will still dissolve our marriage as agreed. I'm just making plans for my son first. What's wrong with that?
Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them.
As Xibao's mother, it's only natural for her to want to plan for her child's future!
When Si Lijue heard the real reason for Su Niannian's concerns, he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. It turned out that the source of all this was the contract they had signed before. If Su Niannian hadn't mentioned it, he would have completely forgotten about it.
He felt that the best way to dispel Su Niannian's concerns was to tear up the contract in front of her. He secretly made up his mind to do it as soon as he got home and not to delay.
He gently coaxed, "You're not wrong, it's all my fault. I wronged you without knowing the facts. It's all my fault! Please forgive me this time, okay?"
Seeing that Si Lijue was saying all sorts of sweet words and offering her a way out, Su Niannian took the opportunity to accept it.
So she readily replied, "Okay, since you've sincerely repented, I'll forgive you this time and won't hold it against you."
In her heart, she felt that apart from his domineering and autocratic side, Si Lijue was a good man in other aspects.
At the very least, he realizes his mistakes and apologizes to her promptly, and he also says some funny things to make her happy. For example, right now, he calls her "husband" smoothly.
Su Niannian listened and not only did she not feel anything was wrong, but she also felt quite happy.
Si Lijue tightened his arm around Su Niannian's waist and replied with a smile, "Then I thank my wife for her magnanimity." Then, his eyes were fixed on the small patch of slightly red skin on her forehead, and he asked with concern, "Does your forehead still hurt?"
Su Niannian nodded and said in a coquettish tone, "It hurts! It hurts so much! It's all your fault for hitting me so hard. If you hadn't flicked my forehead so hard, it wouldn't hurt at all!"
Si Lijue reached out and gently rubbed her forehead as he said, "Yes, it's all my fault. I deserve to be hit. How about you flick me on the forehead? If that's not enough, flick me two, three... flick me as many times as you want, as long as you're calmed down!"
He was filled with regret. He hadn't used much force, but the slap on Su Niannian's delicate forehead still made it red.
Moreover, he wanted to rub it for her, but he didn't expect it to get redder and redder the more he rubbed it.
Oh dear, it really breaks his heart to see that!
If he had known she was so easily teased, he shouldn't have flicked her on the head!
Su Niannian didn't take it to heart, and said arrogantly with her chin raised, "I'm a kind-hearted person, unlike you who's cold and heartless and flicks people's foreheads!"
