Two weeks passed in a flash. Accompanied by Zhou Dang, Lin Sui went for another prenatal check-up and the fetus was still healthy.
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year again. This kind of festival was very sad for Lin Sui. She had no parents, no hometown, and no place to go.
Before her father passed away, Lin Sui celebrated the New Year with him. After her father passed away, Lin Sui celebrated the New Year with Zhou Dang. This was the first New Year she had to face on her own.
She couldn't imagine how sad it was to sit alone in an empty rental house, with the sky full of lights outside the window and herself alone inside.
She suddenly began to miss the time when she was with Zhou Dang. Every New Year, she would go back to Zhou's house with him. She felt awkward and uncomfortable at that time. The whole family was sitting in the living room, lively and cheerful, but she felt like an outsider. But this year, she didn't even have the identity of an outsider.
This fear of the New Year accumulated day by day, gradually overwhelmed her, and finally she could not hold it in any longer.
She asked Zhou Dang, "How are you going to celebrate the New Year this year?"
Zhou Dang obviously didn't realize the other meaning behind Lin Sui's words. He shrugged and said, "How else can we celebrate? Isn't it just going to the old house to have a New Year's Eve dinner with the old people?"
"What about me? How am I going to get through this?" Lin Sui narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Dang, the meaning of his question was very obvious.
Zhou Dang finally understood what Lin Sui meant. He had never really thought about this issue. Yes, a pregnant woman spending the New Year alone in a shabby rental house was pitiful to think about.
"The house I bought for you is in the process of transferring ownership, and it will be completed before the New Year. You can move into the new house then." Zhou Dang wanted to tell Lin Sui some good news in an attempt to make her happier.
"You're answering a question that's not relevant." Unfortunately, Lin Sui didn't buy it.
"How about I come to accompany you during the day on New Year's Day, and then I'll go back to the old house for dinner in the evening, is that okay?" Zhou Dang's tone was very cautious.
"I've never heard of anyone's New Year starting during the day. Doesn't it always start at night?" Lin Sui sneered.
"I really can't leave. It's a tradition of our Zhou family to go back to the old house to have the New Year's Eve dinner. You also know that I have gone back every year in the five years since I got married to you." Zhou Dang sighed.
"Sure, you can go back to your old house and celebrate the New Year with your wife. What happens to me has nothing to do with you." Lin Sui also shrugged like Zhou Dang.
Zhou Dang knew that Lin Sui was not buying it.
"Also, Zhou Dang, I've always hated to say this, but I see you've never had any intention of breaking the ice. So let me be the bad guy. What are you going to do with me? Keep me out there as a mistress? And then my child is your illegitimate child, right?"
Zhou Dang obviously didn't expect the topic to go in this direction. It's not that he hadn't thought about this problem, but Lin Sui never mentioned it, so he kept avoiding it, thinking he could avoid it. However, he didn't expect that he would eventually get into trouble.
"I know what you're thinking. You're just like all the other men in the world, wanting to have a happy family and colorful flags flying outside. But let me be honest with you, Zhou Dang. I didn't mind it before, but now I absolutely cannot accept it. I can't allow my unborn child to bear the identity of a bastard. If you really love him, you can't treat him like this."
Lin Sui hugged her arms and leaned on the sofa. Her belly was already a little obvious, and wearing a tight sweater could highlight the outline of her belly.
"It's not that I haven't thought about this problem, but Lin Sui, you have to admit that the current identity rotation was not caused by me, but by you." Zhou Dang leaned forward and rubbed the loose hair on his head.
"I know, but I have also paid the price for my mistakes. After divorcing you, I didn't run away with Qin Chen, right? The child in my belly is still yours, isn't it? So I have to take away the identity that originally belonged to me, isn't it right?" Lin Sui stared at Zhou Dang, his voice unconsciously rising eight octaves.
"Calm down, you're not easily excited. The doctor said you need to be calm." Zhou Dang stepped forward, patted Lin Sui's shoulder, and soothed her.
"Lin Sui, from your point of view, everything is natural, and I understand that. But have you ever thought that for Wen Yue, everything is an unexpected disaster? She divorced me just a few months after getting married. What do people in the circle think of her? How will she get married in the future?" Zhou Dang tried to speak calmly.
"Zhou Dang, I really didn't expect that you are a philanthropic person. From what you said, you love Wen Yue now as well?" Lin Sui sneered.
"Don't confuse the issue. I'm just saying she's pitiful." Zhou Dang pulled out a cigarette from his pocket. He'd just taken out a cigarette when he suddenly remembered that Lin Sui was pregnant and couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes. He clenched the cigarette into a ball, feeling extremely irritated.
"Pitiful? The premise that you think someone is pitiful is that you think she is cute. Zhou Dang, ask yourself, don't you think Wen Yue is cute?" Lin Sui found the vital point and attacked accurately.
Zhou Dang was speechless.
"I accept that you think she is cute, and I even accept that you love her a little. This is all my fault, and I admit it. Today I want you to give me a definite answer. Do you really want to accept me and want to get back together with me? If so, then please divorce me. If not, please leave here, and we will never meet again." Lin Sui said it decisively. She stared at Zhou Dang's expression, her heart beating wildly.
This was a joyful moment for the emotional gambler. Her hands were shaking nervously, but she did not show it on the surface and remained calm.
"Can you give me a few days to think about it?" Zhou Dang was forced into a corner by Lin Sui.
"No." Lin Sui had a smile on her lips. She knew that she was not far from the dawn of victory.
Zhou Dang closed his eyes for a long time. He opened them, his mind clear and bright. He said to Lin Sui, "I want a divorce. Give me a few months."
"How many months is it? The baby in my belly can't wait too long." Lin Sui looked down at his nails, a gesture of victory.
"Three months."
"Yes. Three months later, if you don't fulfill your promise, Zhou Dang, I will go to a place where you can no longer find me and let your child call someone else father. You know, I can do what I say."
Lin Sui stood up and ordered Zhou Dang to leave.
"You can go back. Since you promised, I won't make things difficult for you. On New Year's Day, you just need to come and accompany me during the day."
Zhou Dang looked at Lin Sui's relaxed back and felt extremely heavy in his heart. She was relieved, but he was the one who would feel uncomfortable next.
