No, he couldn't find Zhou Xiaonian, no matter how hard he tried.
His mother once advised him that if adults don't contact each other for more than three days, it's assumed they've broken up. But Zhou Xiaonian wasn't an ordinary person. He had no way of finding out about her job, but he knew it must be a highly confidential mission.
She was simply working and contributing.
He firmly believed that Zhou Xiaonian would keep their promise and wouldn't be tricked away by another man.
But he never expected that he would be the first to give up.
Two weeks ago, Qu Yan came to see him again. He had a few drinks and listened to her confessions day after day. After repeatedly trying to call Zhou Xiaonian but failing to get through, he told Qu Yan that he was willing to marry her.
The day Zhou Xiaonian called him happened to be the day Xu Jingan and Qu Yan were having their wedding banquet.
In other words, if he could just hold on for one more day, he would be able to meet Zhou Xiaonian.
That night, he didn't stay with Qu Yan. The next day, he asked Qu Yan for a divorce, but Qu Yan disagreed, as did the elders of both the Qu and Xu families.
Both families were prominent in the area, and they couldn't bear the shame of divorcing so soon after getting married.
Of course, Xu Jing'an did not intend to tell Zhou Xiaonian any of this.
But with Qu Yan present, how could she not speak?
Qu Yan said, "Xiaonian, Jing'an never thought you were dead. It was my shamelessness that kept clinging to him. But don't worry, he has already asked me for a divorce. It's just that the marriage between the Qu and Xu families involves too many people, so the divorce can't be finalized anytime soon. You'll have to put up with this for a while. Don't worry, I will definitely return Jing'an to you."
“Miss Qu, although everyone here is an acquaintance, there are some jokes that shouldn’t be made casually. I’ve organized this gathering today not to interrogate anyone, nor to steal anyone’s husband.”
Zhou Xiaonian said calmly, "I just wanted to clarify the whole thing in front of everyone. Now that things are clear, Xu Jingan and I have officially ended our relationship... Have you ordered anything? The new tea and coffee in the shop are quite good, everyone should try them. Later, let's go to the Cantonese restaurant up ahead. I've already booked a private room, and I've also booked a karaoke room for tonight, so we can all relax together."
Xu Jing'an felt bitter inside, Qu Yan forced a smile, and the others looked embarrassed.
But Zhou Xiaonian truly felt that her relationship with Xu Jing'an was over.
So she thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the process, singing in the karaoke room until 11 p.m. before finally calling someone to pick her up and take her home, completely satisfied.
Xu Jing'an watched her graceful departure and then covered his face and wept bitterly.
As Qu Yan watched, she suddenly felt humiliated. For the first time, she snapped at him: "What level is Zhou Xiaonian, and what level are you? You're not even close to her! She agreed to date you and gave you a chance, but you couldn't stand the loneliness and you didn't hold on! You even agreed to marry me! Now you're crying and wailing, as if Zhou Xiaonian abandoned you, or as if I forced you!"
"There aren't many men like you in the whole capital who can be considered men like you!"
"If I were Zhou Xiaonian, I wouldn't hesitate at all, and I'd even set off firecrackers to celebrate!"
"Xu Jing'an, you must have a lot to do even if you don't have a mirror, right? What kind of trash are you, trying to covet my goddess Xiao Nian?"
"I agree to this divorce! Shen Jinyan and Wu Zetian, take me home!"
Xu Jing'an was completely stunned by the scolding.
No, Qu Yan has been licking his boots for so many years, and even went to great lengths to marry him. On the way here, she even threatened to kill herself, saying she would jump off a building if she got a divorce. How come after seeing Zhou Xiaonian once, she just said she didn't want the marriage anymore?
Lin Jinquan patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, I think Qu Yan's scolding was quite right. You just weren't decisive enough. Okay, I'm going back now. Take it easy and don't drink too much, or you might make a mistake."
"Your position and status cannot afford any mistakes!"
