Chapter 739 We're getting a divorce, and I get custody of the children.
"I thought about it all night, and I still can't stop worrying about Xinyue."
Shen Anning was not surprised to hear him say such things.
They grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and although Qi Yue seems cold, he is actually more soft-hearted than anyone else.
From the moment Gong Xinyue appeared, she portrayed herself as a sickly person who had suffered countless grievances. Every tear she shed and every word she uttered was tailor-made for Qi Yue.
Shen Anning was very clear-headed and rational. She knew very well that this was a trap set for her and Qi Yue, so she neither cried nor made a fuss.
But seeing Qi Yue choose to wrong her for another woman, Shen Anning couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in her heart.
"So?" Shen Anning looked at him, her voice still a little hoarse from her illness, but she never let herself show any weakness in front of Qi Yue.
Once upon a time, Anning, who would cry over the slightest injury or pain to her July brother, has finally grown up.
Unfortunately, I wasn't happy when I grew up.
Qi Yue's Adam's apple bobbed, and his narrow eyes were dark and unreadable.
But his voice was cold and hard, “She needs me now.”
"Need you?" Shen Anning's bloodless lips curved into a smile, her voice tinged with sarcasm: "For Gong Xinyue, are you going to abandon us, mother and children?"
“Xinyue has no one to rely on but me, but you are different. You have so many family members who love you. Anning, I don’t want things to get too ugly between us.”
"Just because I have a happy family background, just because I have many people who love and care about me, does that mean I should be abandoned by you?!"
Shen Anning's heart clenched, and she pressed her lips tightly together, but the unbearable pain made her chin tremble slightly.
She stared intently at Qi Yue, and when she spoke again, her voice was already choked with sobs: "Qi Yue, aren't you being too cruel to me?"
Qi Yue turned his gaze to the window, as if he couldn't bear to look at her in that state.
Shen Anning was completely enraged by his evasive behavior.
"Qi Yue, have you thought this through? I can face anything with you. If you choose to believe me now, I can explain everything to you, including the things you forgot due to amnesia..."
“You’re only now choosing to confess.” Qi Yue interrupted Shen Anning, turning to look at her. “It’s too late, Shen Anning, it’s all too late.”
Shen Anning frowned, "How can it be too late, we..."
"Xinyue's other kidney is also having problems."
Shen Anning was stunned.
“She doesn’t have much time left. The Gong family is now forcing her to marry a spoiled brat. Apart from me, no one is willing to protect her.” Qi Yue paused, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and finally said, “I know you can’t tolerate Xinyue, and I can’t ignore Xinyue. So, for everyone’s sake, let’s part ways amicably.”
It's better to part ways amicably...
What a fine parting!
Just four words shattered all of Shen Anning's hopes!
Reason and composure have become a joke.
Looking at Qi Yue, she felt for the first time that she wasn't worth it!
This is the first time I've questioned whether Qi Yue is truly worth all this forbearance...
Shen Anning closed her eyes, forcefully suppressing her surging emotions.
When she opened her eyes again, all she saw was icy coldness.
She looked at Qi Yue and said, "I can get a divorce, but since you chose Xinyue, I can't give you custody of the child."
Qi Yue was not surprised that she would say that.
But he still said, "The agreement we signed clearly stated that each of us would take one child in the divorce."
Shen Anning sneered, "Our agreement states that the party at fault must unconditionally comply with the other party's conditions. I don't care what your reasons are, but now you're giving up our marriage for another woman, which constitutes adultery. You are the party at fault, and you have no right to fight me for custody of the child!"
Gong Xinyue's vengeful nature is so obvious, she can't possibly let her child follow Qi Yue. The grudges between the adults shouldn't put the child at any risk!
Qi Yue looked at her, seemed to think for a moment, and then asked, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"
"What makes you think a man who abandons his wife and children deserves custody of his children?"
Qi Yue pursed his lips, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "I can give you the child, but I hope the divorce proceedings can be completed as soon as possible."
Shen Anning sneered, "So eager?"
"Xinyue is not in good health, and I need to take her abroad for treatment. I also need to step in and resolve things with the Gong family."
Qi Yue's voice was low and deep, seemingly tinged with helplessness: "An Ning, I know I've let you and our two sons down, but even without me, you, the children, your parents-in-law, and the elders of the Qi and Han families will all stand by your side. You've only lost me; it won't have any impact on your life."
Shen Anning smiled and slowly sat up, supporting herself on the bed.
The needle on the back of her hand was out of place, but she didn't care at all. She looked at Qi Yue with tears glistening in her eyes, but stubbornly refused to shed a single tear.
"Qi Yue, I have never regretted it as much as I do now, I regret choosing you!"
Qi Yue's hands, hanging by his sides, tightened slightly. "It's all your fault for not being honest with me from the beginning, Shen Anning. You also bear a lot of responsibility for how things have come to this."
"Yes, I bear a lot of responsibility. I shouldn't have agreed to marry you in the first place!" Shen Anning could no longer bear it and grabbed a water glass from the table, splashing it at Qi Yue.
The water in the cup had cooled down completely, and it was splashed coldly onto Qi Yue's face.
Qi Yue resignedly closed his eyes without flinching, his face getting soaked.
Water droplets rolled slowly down his high, straight nose.
He was in a very sorry state.
Shen Anning slammed the water glass at his feet and yelled, "Get out!"
Glass shards flew everywhere.
The intense emotions triggered a violent cough, and Shen Anning covered her mouth, coughing until her face turned red!
Qi Yue raised his hand to wipe the water from his face, attempting to step forward—
"Get out of here—"
Shen Anning waved at him, causing the IV bottle to shake violently as she pulled on it.
The needle fell out, and fresh blood dripped all over the floor.
Qi Yue's expression changed drastically. He stepped forward and pressed her hand down. "The needle has fallen out. Don't move. I'll call the doctor..."
Snap!
Shen Anning slapped Qi Yue hard across the face, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Qi Yue, if you've decided to give up on me, then don't worry about me anymore. Whether I live or die is none of your business!"
A red mark instantly appeared on the cheek where Qi Yue was hit.
He was still holding Shen Anning's bleeding hand, his eyes lowered.
“You are the mother of my child. I can’t just stand by and watch you hurt yourself.” His voice was low and unreadable.
Shen Anning stared at him, trying to bite her lip to stop herself from crying out loud, but large tears kept rolling down her cheeks.
A few seeds were pressed against the back of Qi Yue's hand.
Qi Yue stared at the teardrops on the back of his hand, his thick eyelashes obscuring the emotions in his eyes.
He reached out and pressed the nurse call button, "A nurse, the needle has fallen out."
The nurse arrived quickly.
Qi Yue released Shen Anning and stepped aside.
The nurse reinserted the needle into Shen Anning.
Shen Anning lowered her head, not wanting to look at him, and coldly said, "Go away!"
Qi Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't say anything more and silently turned and walked out of the ward.
After giving Shen Anning her injection, the nurse glanced at the mess on the floor and looked at Shen Anning with some concern. "Mrs. Qi, are you alright? Do you need me to contact your other family members?"
"No need." Shen Anning lay back on the bed and covered her eyes with her hands. "I want to be alone."
"Do you need to press the nurse call button at any time? Also, please be careful with the needle, otherwise you'll have to get another injection."
"good."
The nurse sighed inwardly, turned and walked out of the ward.
The ward door closed.
Shen Anning could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
Qi Yue stood outside the ward.
Separated by only a door, the woman's cries made his heart clench.
The nurse stood by watching, wanting to speak, but Qi Yue shook her head and said in a low voice, "I'm leaving. Please keep an eye on her. Someone will come to take care of her later."
The nurse assumed they were just having a normal marital argument, and since it was their family matter, they didn't want to interfere, so they could only nod and say, "Okay."
