Chapter 470 Knowing Everything
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Chi Wenyan's handsome face for a moment. He stretched out his hand, wanting to shake Ji Wan's hand on the table, but she avoided him without a trace.
His hand froze in mid-air, then he withdrew it in disappointment, his Adam's apple rolling with difficulty: "Wanwan, things are not what you see, she..."
"She's pregnant, and the child is yours." Ji Wan interrupted him again and finally raised his head. The clear eyes that were once filled with love now only had a heart-wrenching calmness and alienation. "She made a deal with you for the child and Chi's shares, right?"
Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Chi Wenyan's chest hard.
He opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but found that all his words seemed pale and powerless under Ji Wan's all-seeing gaze. He had never thought that Su Jiujiu would act so quickly, and he had never thought that Ji Wan would lay everything out so directly.
"I..." Chi Wenyan's voice was extremely difficult, "Wanwan, please listen to my explanation. I didn't intend to touch her. It was an accident, a trap! I..."
"A trap?" Ji Wan's lips curled up in a faint, mocking arc. "Chi Wenyan, do you think it's still meaningful to say this now? I saw the photos and the location. And, more importantly, I can't forgive what you did. You canceled our lunch, saying there was an emergency meeting at the company, just to deal with this 'trap' and then stay with her so 'sweetly'?"
"No! Wanwan!" Chi Wenyan stood up suddenly, his hands on the table. His knuckles were white with excitement. "Let's start over again, like before, okay? I didn't! How could I..."
"Enough." Ji Wan's voice was still calm, but with a resoluteness that brooked no argument. "Chi Wenyan, let's get a divorce."
"What did you say?" Chi Wenyan froze as if struck by thunder. He looked at Ji Wan in disbelief, pain and helplessness surging in his eyes. "Divorce? No! I don't agree! Wanwan, I absolutely don't agree to divorce!"
His voice suddenly rose, with a hint of suppressed panic.
Ji Wan looked at his loss of composure, and the sting of betrayal in her heart surged up again, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Chi Wenyan, do you think we can go back to where we are?" She stretched out her finger and gently tapped her heart. "This place is already dirty. I can't accept that my husband has a child with another woman, no matter if it was a trap or not, no matter if you are willing or not. The fact is, your body has betrayed me."
"I didn't, I was just passive, not active!" Chi Wenyan walked around the table and came to Ji Wan's side, trying to grab her shoulders, begging in a hoarse voice, "Wan Wan, give me another chance, please, don't talk about divorce, I can't live without you!"
Ji Wan turned slightly to avoid his touch. Her eyes were as cold as ice.
"Chi Wenyan, I once thought that we could be together forever. But now it seems that it was just wishful thinking on my part." She took out a document from her bag and gently placed it on the table. "This is the divorce agreement. I have already signed it. As for the property, I don't want anything. I just want to end this relationship as soon as possible."
"No! I won't sign!" Chi Wenyan's eyes instantly turned red. He stared at the document as if he wanted to burn a hole through it. "I don't want a divorce! Wanwan, listen to me, that woman Su Jiujiu is just plotting against me! I can take care of the child... the child! I don't even have to give her the shares! As long as you don't leave me!"
"Deal with it?" Ji Wan chuckled, his laughter filled with sadness and disappointment. "Chi Wenyan, that's a life. It's your Chi family's flesh and blood. How are you going to deal with it? Make it disappear from this world?"
She shook her head, the last glimmer of light in her eyes dimming. "You're still the same as before. When you encounter a problem, the first thing you think of is covering it up and using force. You've never truly reflected on yourself."
"I..." Chi Wenyan was speechless because of her words. His chest was heaving violently, and an unprecedented panic gripped him. He knew that Ji Wan was serious this time.
"I've made up my mind." Ji Wan stood up and gave him one last calm look. "Chi Wenyan, let's part ways amicably. At least, leave some dignity to our past relationship."
After saying that, she stopped looking at Chi Wenyan's painfully twisted face, turned around, resolutely opened the door of the box, and walked out.
"Wanwan!" Chi Wenyan roared and wanted to chase after her, but his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
He slumped down in his chair, looking at the glaring divorce agreement and the almost untouched dishes on the table, and felt as if his whole world had collapsed.
Regret and despair flooded him like a tide. He didn't want a divorce, how could he lose her!
"Wanwan!" Chi Wenyan roared, desperately chasing after her, and finally stopped Ji Wan in the corridor outside the box. He grabbed her wrist with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her bones.
"Let go!" Ji Wan frowned, his voice revealing undisguised disgust.
"I won't let go! Wanwan, listen to me, we won't get divorced, okay? Give me one more chance, one last time!"
Chi Wenyan's eyes were bloodshot and his voice trembled with excitement. The once high and mighty President Chi was now as humble as dust.
Ji Wan looked at him like this, without feeling moved at all, only feeling irony.
She shook his hand away, feeling a physical discomfort from his touch.
"Chi Wenyan, I don't want to waste any more words with you." Ji Wan's eyes were as cold as frost, and every word seemed to be icy. "Three days later, at nine o'clock in the morning, I'll be waiting for you in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. If you don't come, I will unilaterally file for divorce. This is my final notice."
"No! Wanwan, you can't do this to me!" Chi Wenyan reached out to pull her again, his voice filled with desperate wails, "I can explain the matter of the child, Su Jiujiu..."
"Enough!" Ji Wan suddenly raised his voice, interrupting his futile defense. "I have no interest in your explanation, Su Jiujiu, or that child! Chi Wenyan, there is no possibility between us anymore. Let me go, and let yourself go."
After she finished speaking, she didn't look at him again, turned around resolutely, and walked quickly towards the elevator.
Chi Wenyan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. Looking at her back without any reluctance, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and the pain made him almost unable to breathe.
He wanted to chase her, but his legs were too heavy to lift. He could only watch the elevator door close, completely isolating her from his world.
"ah--!"
Chi Wenyan growled in pain and punched the hard wall hard, breaking the skin on his knuckles instantly.
