Su Xuerong had no idea what had happened in the villa after she left. Sitting in the carriage, she asked with some concern, "If Zeng Ling gets the divorce papers, where can she go?"
Xiao Yuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them upon hearing her words, staring intently at her: "Where do you want her to go?"
Su Xuerong sighed softly: "She said last night that the Zeng family probably wouldn't let her go back, and she herself didn't know where to go."
Xiao Yuan sneered, "So you're thinking of having her move into your house?"
Su Xuerong had the same idea: "She doesn't necessarily have to stay at my house. I have several houses near Tianchang Temple that I can lend her..."
Xiao Yuan suddenly interrupted her: "Don't you think it's a bit strange that she suddenly asked you for this favor?"
Su Xuerong suddenly felt a little guilty.
She had lived two lives, and the moment she saw Zeng Ling, she thought of her past self, which is why she agreed to her request for help.
But how could she tell Xiao Yuan about her feelings for Zeng Ling?
The words that have been spoken in two lifetimes must never be uttered.
"I just felt sorry for her..." Su Xuerong muttered.
"But at your aunt's birthday banquet that day, you were the one who was bullied. If I hadn't intervened, you would have been bullied terribly. Why didn't Zeng Ling help you?"
Su Xuerong looked at him speechlessly: "What's wrong with you? Zeng Ling was being suppressed by Madam Ge at the time, how could she help me? What ability did she have to help me?"
She suddenly felt that he was being unreasonable.
Xiao Yuan frowned and stared at her: "Don't you find her suspicious?"
"Suspicious? What's suspicious about it?" Su Xuerong asked, puzzled.
"If she wants to get her divorce papers from Ge Laosan from me, she can ask Yun'er or her aunt for help. But why did she speak to you in front of so many people that day, even though she knew you were being ostracized by everyone? Wasn't she afraid that the Ge family would make things even more difficult for her?"
Su Xuerong said, "She came to Japan with the intention of getting a divorce, so why bother with so much?"
“She said last night that she asked others for help, but the only one who agreed to help her was me.”
Su Xuerong didn't know where Xiao Yuan's hostility towards Zeng Ling came from, so she could only patiently explain: "Don't worry, as long as she gets the divorce papers, she might leave Hangzhou."
If it were her, she would want to leave this place that caused her so much suffering as soon as possible and not linger there anymore.
"Hmph! She probably won't leave so easily!"
Xiao Yuan sneered.
He sensed the woman's ill intentions from the moment she deliberately took the dress he had given to Arong this morning, and from the moment she deliberately mentioned in front of him during breakfast that Arong ate a lot.
Seeing this, Su Xuerong could only stroke his fur like she was comforting Xiaobai, and said coquettishly, "Oh, don't overthink it. Just get Ge Laosan to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible."
Xiao Yuan pulled her into his arms and said, "You heartless little thing, you only have other people in your heart!"
To get him to do something, Su Xuerong had no choice but to draw circles on his chest with her hand: "How can you be so petty..."
Xiao Yuan was soothed by her little cat scratch, chuckled and stopped talking, pinching her waist with his fingers.
The soft, delicate flesh around her waist felt wonderful to the touch.
Su Xuerong shifted her body, then suddenly said in a muffled voice, "I'll go back later and tell my mother and the others that I'd like to take the children to stay at the other courtyard for a few days..."
Xiao Yuan suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked down at her.
Su Xuerong didn't look up, her voice weak as she said, "When I came out just now, she knelt down before me, crying uncontrollably, begging me to stay with her for a few days, and I agreed..."
"No way!" Xiao Yuan said decisively.
Su Xuerong looked up in utter astonishment.
This was the first time he had rejected her so ruthlessly since she and Xiao Yuan got together.
"But I..."
"Don't say anything!" Xiao Yuan gave her no chance at all, and said coldly, "I will have the divorce papers sent to her today, and have someone take her away from Hangzhou tomorrow."
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Su Xuerong became angry and got up from his embrace: "What has she done to you? Why can't you tolerate her?"
She was just a pitiful and helpless woman.
Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at her angry expression: "You're making a scene with me for the sake of an outsider?"
The man before her had reverted to the coldness and aloofness she had felt when they first met, his eyes filled with intense pressure.
Su Xuerong couldn't help but swallow hard, and had no choice but to lower her tone: "I... I just feel that she has no relatives or friends now, and I can't just leave her like this..."
"When you fled Suzhou, were you in a worse situation than her?" Xiao Yuan sneered. "The same divorce, but who helped you back then?"
Not only did no one help her, but a wolf from the Xu family was also chasing after her.
Su Xuerong was speechless for a moment and couldn't say a word.
Yes, she was in immeasurable danger back then compared to Zeng Ling now.
Now, with her help and Xiao Yuan backing her up, even the Ge family doesn't dare to do anything to Zeng Ling.
"Arong, I will send someone to safely escort her back to the North and explain the situation to her family. The Zeng family, out of respect for me, will absolutely not dare to drive her away on their own!"
Xiao Yuan quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Don't make trouble for me because of her."
At this time, their relationship was still uncertain, and he worried that if she got angry, she would quietly slip away just like she had when she ran away from Xiao Shiyan.
It will be difficult to bring her back to my side now.
We can only try to appease them for now.
Su Xuerong pouted, glaring at him reproachfully: "Then why did you yell at me just now? Can't you speak properly?"
Xiao Yuan quickly said gently, "Okay, okay, I won't yell at you anymore..."
After saying that, he hugged her and coaxed her gently.
