Chapter 362 Picking her up to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau
"Are you stupid? You're sick and you still come all the way abroad. You don't know anyone here, who's going to take care of you? Come home with me, I won't try to persuade you anymore. If you want a divorce, I'll support you. If you don't want to stay at home, you can move to my place..."
"Ah Shu, it's no use."
Qiao Xingjia closed her eyes, tears silently streaming down her face: "As long as I stay in Beicheng, my mother will continue to control me. I know she cares about me, but I really feel suffocated. Only here can I clear my mind. When I'm alone, I take my camera and go out to take pictures..."
In the quiet room, Qiao Xingjia's voice trembled.
“I know I’m not a good wife, not a good mother, and not a good daughter, but I didn’t want it to be this way. After losing my memory, I hastily got together with Qin Yancheng. More than four years! How could I not love him? Ten months of pregnancy! How could I not love Xiaoxingchen? But why does love always have to be about sacrifice? My mother says she’s doing it all for my own good, but she’s never asked me what I need. Whatever she wants to give me, I just accept it. If I object, I’m considered immature and ungrateful. She always says she gave up the opportunity to develop her career abroad to give birth to me. She always says she’s my mother, and she’s doing it all for my own good…”
Shen Qingshu sighed, "If it's because of Aunt Qiao, you should talk to Dr. Qin."
“Yes, I did talk to Qin Yancheng about my mother's issues at first. He was able to understand me at first. My mother wouldn't let me eat snacks, so he would take me out to eat them behind her back. My mother wouldn't let me drink milk tea, so he would secretly hide milk tea in his coat and bring it into my room for me when he got home from get off work... At that time, I felt it was all worth it, so I tried my best to be a good wife and a good mother. But ever since I suggested weaning the child and wanting to relearn photography, we started arguing for no reason…”
I know he just wants me to stay home. He says he wants to see me first thing when he gets home from get off work, and he wants a daughter. He says he can support me and the child and doesn't want me to work so hard... I know that even if I have seven or eight children, Qin Yancheng can afford to support them, but I don't want to...
Qin Yancheng says he loves me, but I feel like his love is suffocating me. I don't know when it started, but every time we argue, he begins to accuse me of "not loving him" and "not loving Xiaoxingchen." Every time we argue, my mother scolds me, and then he stands up for me and speaks up for me, which makes my mother think I'm even more unreasonable... It goes on and on, a never-ending cycle...
Ah Shu, I feel like Qin Yancheng has changed. I feel like he's even dragging my mom into it to try and win me over... I wish it were just me being paranoid and imagining things, but..."
As Qiao Xingjia finished speaking, she closed her eyes, pursed her lips tightly, and her chin trembled violently.
Shen Qingshu hugged her tightly. "Don't say anything more. I know, I understand you, but Qin Yancheng probably didn't do it on purpose. He was just too impatient. Maybe you two need to sit down and talk things out calmly."
“Just now downstairs, he accused me of cheating without even asking me anything. His expression at that moment instantly overlapped with the way my mother had scolded and demanded of me over the years. At that moment, I knew that nothing I said would make a difference... I really couldn't take it for even one more day... I guess I'm being selfish, let them all resent me…”
Qiao Xingjia's voice was very soft, and every word sounded so weak.
Shen Qingshu felt extremely distressed.
But I didn't know how to comfort her.
There are millions of couples in the world, and each couple has their own life.
Perhaps for Qiao Xingjia and Qin Yancheng, loving each other is not enough for a marriage to continue.
Because they love each other, even the harsh words exchanged in the heat of the moment are unbearable and feel like a thousand arrows piercing their hearts.
Shen Qingshu closed her eyes and hugged Qiao Xingjia, whose body was trembling slightly, even tighter. "Whatever decision you make, I will support you."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xingjia could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
...
Half an hour later, Qiao Xingjia and Shen Qingshu came out of the apartment entrance.
Qiao Xingjia only brought a backpack.
Qin Yancheng glanced at her backpack, his brows furrowing slightly.
Is she planning to come back immediately after the divorce?
Ha, I can't wait!
Qiao Xingjia didn't look at him; her eyes were lowered, and her face was devoid of any emotion.
In Qin Yancheng's view, this was nothing more than being heartless.
Shen Qingshu was also in a bad mood. She looked at Qin Yancheng and said, "Dr. Qin, let's book a car and go to the airport."
Qin Yancheng frowned and gave a curt reply.
A light drizzle was falling.
The three arrived at the airport by taxi.
There will be a waiting period before you can reapply for an international flight.
It will take at least an hour.
In the VIP waiting room, Shen Qingshu made an excuse to make a phone call.
She intentionally left the two of them alone, thinking that Qin Yancheng might have calmed down by now, and given his personality, he would probably take the initiative to try to communicate with Qiao Xingjia again.
Shen Qingshu waited outside for nearly an hour before receiving a notification that her flight application had been successful.
The plane will take off in twenty minutes.
Shen Qingshu returned to the waiting room.
Qin Yancheng is not here.
Qiao Xingjia was the only one sitting alone on the sofa.
With a soft sigh, he walked over and sat down next to Qiao Xingjia.
Qiao Xingjia kept her head down, her eyes fixed on her phone.
The screensaver is a little star.
"Star."
Qiao Xingjia looked up at Shen Qingshu upon hearing the sound.
She could clearly see the worry in Shen Qingshu's eyes.
"It's okay." Qiao Xingjia forced a smile. "Our personalities and values aren't compatible, so it's better that we divorced sooner. As for Xiao Xingchen, with the Qin family's conditions, he won't suffer. It's fortunate that we had a son; if it were a daughter... I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to be so heartless..."
Shen Qingshu grasped her hand, "Are you really able to let go?"
Qiao Xingjia nodded, "I can let it go..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu said nothing more.
She knew that Qiao Xingjia was not as carefree as she appeared on the surface.
However, if she and Qin Yancheng continue to argue endlessly like this, it may not be a good thing for the child.
The long flight back home, lasting over ten hours, might be their last chance together.
…
The next day, around 1 p.m., the private plane landed at the airport in Beicheng.
The sun was blazing, and the cabin door opened.
Qiao Xingjia and Shen Qingshu walked ahead.
Behind him, Qin Yancheng followed slowly.
He stared at Qiao Xingjia's retreating figure with a stern face.
On the way back, she kept her eyes closed and slept the whole time.
When it was time for a meal, Shen Qingshu called her. She got up and ate some food, but she didn't speak or look at him at all.
Qin Yancheng had actually been waiting, waiting for Qiao Xingjia to explain to him.
However, when the plane landed...
Qiao Xingjia didn't offer him a single explanation, nor did she even spare him a glance!
Qin Yancheng put one hand in his pocket and stopped walking.
Qiao Xingjia continued walking ahead without looking back.
He felt a surge of sarcasm in his heart.
Perhaps, this is what it means to not love someone.
Because I don't love you, I can remain so indifferent.
But there are still little stars between them!
Even with him and a little star, could he still not keep her?
Qin Yancheng bit his lip secretly.
A hint of obsession flickered in his eyes.
He just wouldn't believe it!
...
A black Bentley slowly drove up from a distance.
Shen Qingshu and Qiao Xingjia stopped.
The Bentley stopped in front of them, the window rolled down, revealing Fu Siyan's cold and handsome face.
Their eyes met.
The man's eyes were deep. "A-Shu, get in the car."
Shen Qingshu frowned slightly. "Why are you here?"
“I asked Siyan to come and pick us up.” Qin Yancheng walked over and opened the passenger door. “Last time he got divorced, I went with him. This time I’m getting divorced, so as his brother, he should reciprocate.”
Shen Qingshu: "..."
Is divorce something good or glorious?
In return, we should reciprocate.
Shen Qingshu glanced at Qiao Xingjia beside her.
Qiao Xingjia remained expressionless.
Shen Qingshu then turned to Fu Siyan, "Aren't you going to try to persuade Dr. Qin?"
Fu Siyan looked at her, his eyes deep and calm. “A-Shu, this is a matter between the couple. As friends, it’s only right that we offer some advice. But you know, if advice could solve everything, there wouldn’t be so many divorced couples in the world.”
"Ah Shu, there's no use trying to persuade her. Qin Yancheng and I have been unable to live together for a long time." Qiao Xingjia tugged at Shen Qingshu's arm. "Let's get in the car."
Inside the car, Qin Yancheng, who was just about to fasten his seatbelt, almost tore it off when he heard those words!
