Before Meng Qingwan could speak, Nan Yuanman's voice came from the doorway: "Is it true? Aunt Dong can just go back and ask Uncle, right?"
Nan Yuanman raised her little head, glanced quickly at Dong Yuanxiang's face, and said, "Maybe it's just Gao Jingjing talking nonsense?"
"Yes, yes." Dong Yuanxiang seemed to wake up from a dream, and even forgot about Lou Yuqi. She stumbled off the sofa and ran out quickly.
She wanted to go back and ask Lou Haoyu if he had really done something to betray her and the child.
Lou Yuqi was still reeling from the shock of the day when he saw Nan Yuanman return. It was as if he had found his pillar of support. He rushed to greet him, "Boss! You're finally back! What do we do now?"
Meng Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief and looked Nan Yuanman up and down: "All done? You're not hurt, are you?"
“She’s not injured. Aunt Dong is in a bad mood. Let’s follow her, just in case something happens to her.” Nan Yuanman shook her head and, for the first time, took Lou Yuqi’s hand and led him to the elevator.
When the three arrived at the underground parking lot, Dong Yuanxiang had already driven away. Nan Yuanman took Lou Yuqi to Meng Qingwan's car and headed to Lou Yuqi's house.
When the three of them arrived, they saw Dong Yuanxiang standing blankly at the door, not opening it to go inside.
Meng Qingwan realized something and raised her hand to cover Lou Yuqi's ears, who looked completely bewildered.
Nan Yuanman heard a slightly greasy male voice coming from inside the closed door: "Oh, my little darling, how could I not love you? It's just that something came up at home and I can't leave for the time being."
"Hey, you know how strict your wife is at home, right? I'll come visit you when I have the chance, okay?"
"Didn't you like that new LV bag? I'll buy it for you next time we meet, okay, honey?"
"My dear wife, you're the best! I love you, bye!"
The sounds in the room grew closer, and after he finished speaking, the door opened from the inside.
When Lou Haoyu saw Dong Yuanxiang standing at the door, his mind went completely blank. His phone fell to the ground with a thud, and he instinctively called out, "Wife..."
Upon hearing his shout, Dong Yuanxiang felt so nauseous she almost vomited. Her eyes reddened, her heart ached so much she felt like she was suffocating, and she roared uncontrollably, "Shut up! Don't call me 'wife'!"
Lou Haoyu panicked. He didn't expect Dong Yuanxiang to come back suddenly, nor did he expect her to stand at the door and not come in. He reached out his hand to her: "Wife... no, Xiangxiang, let me explain."
"There's nothing to explain." Betrayed by her best friend and then by her husband in a single day, Dong Yuanxiang was exhausted and almost had no will to make a scene. She fiercely wiped away the tears that were about to fall and choked out, "Lou Haoyu, we're over! We're getting a divorce tomorrow!"
"No! I won't get a divorce! Wife, Xiangxiang, I know I was wrong." Lou Haoyu had no intention of divorcing Dong Yuanxiang.
Dong Yuanxiang was his first love, the person he decided to spend his life with since he was young.
However… life with Dong Yuanxiang was too warm and peaceful, like stagnant water. That's why he was so bewitched when a young and lively woman boldly expressed her love for him.
He thought that Dong Yuanxiang trusted him so much that she rarely even checked his phone. As long as he had had his fill of playing around and lost interest in that woman, he would promptly withdraw and return to his family.
As long as he hides well, Dong Yuanxiang will not find out.
I never expected that things would be exposed so quickly.
Lou Haoyu was filled with remorse. Ignoring the presence of outsiders, he knelt down before Dong Yuanxiang and slapped himself hard several times.
"It's my fault, I'm a beast, Xiangxiang. I don't expect your forgiveness. For Yuqi's sake, please don't get a divorce, okay?"
Dong Yuanxiang never expected him to kneel down. Her lips trembled, and she instinctively stood in front of him, turning back in a panic to look in Lou Yuqi's direction.
Lou Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Nan Yuanman's view was blocked and Meng Qingwan's ears were covered.
The gentleness she once showed towards Lou Haoyu vanished from her face; instead, she said coldly, "Get up first."
Lou Haoyu was secretly delighted. He wanted to play the victim again to soften Dong Yuanxiang's heart, but when he met her despairing eyes, he felt quite uncomfortable and obediently stood up.
Dong Yuanxiang took a deep breath, turned to look at Nan Yuanman, squatted down in front of her, and gave a stiff, awkward smile: "Yuanman, can Auntie ask you for a favor? Could Yuqi stay with you for a couple of days?"
She didn't want Lou Yuqi to see the ferocious expressions on his parents' faces when they argued.
No matter what kind of scumbag Lou Haoyu is, he is still a qualified father to Lou Yuqi.
Nan Yuanman nodded: "Sure."
Nan Yuanman glanced in Lou Haoyu's direction and asked, "Aunt Dong, do you need my help?"
"No need." Dong Yuanxiang's smile was more like a grimace. "Yuanman has already helped me a lot. Let the adults handle the matters between them."
Nanmanyuan: "Oh."
Following her research on the market price for hiring a master, Dong Yuanxiang transferred 100,000 yuan to Nan Yuanman. She then hugged Lou Yuqi and instructed him to be polite and not mischievous when visiting other people's homes.
Dong Yuanxiang was still worried that Lou Yuqi might ask why he was suddenly being asked to go to Nan Yuanman's house, but the carefree little brat was only excited about going to stay at his boss's house. Without asking a single question, he happily followed Nan Yuanman.
This left Dong Yuanxiang feeling both amused and exasperated; the heavy feeling that seemed to be crushing her subsided somewhat.
Lou Yuqi and Nan Yuanman got into the car hand in hand.
As soon as Nan Yuanman sat down, she turned her head and saw Lou Yuqi pouting, tears streaming down his face.
It was like a tap being turned on, the water was flowing freely.
"Waaaaah, boss, are my mom and dad getting a divorce? Waaaaah..." Lou Yuqi looked pitifully at Nan Yuanman with two wide tears streaming down his face.
He's thick-skinned, but he's not completely clueless. He can tell that something's off between his parents. It reminds him of a short drama he used to watch with his grandmother, where the male lead would kneel down and beg the female lead to get a divorce...
Waaaaah! Is he going to become a child without parents?
Nanmanyuan: "!"
She didn't answer Lou Yuqi's question, but instead, quite surprisingly, she activated the camera function on her watch and took a picture of him.
Lou Yuqi: "?"
He called out unhappily, "Boss!"
Nan Yuanman scratched his head and couldn't help but say, "This is the first time I've ever seen someone cry like this! It's like a tap has been turned on, so funny."
Lou Yuqi: "..."
Suddenly, he didn't want to cry anymore.
Seeing that he had stopped crying, Nan Yuanman asked him, "What difference does it make to you whether your parents are divorced or not? Does that mean you're no longer their child?"
Lou Yuqi paused for a moment, tears streaming down his face, and said, "It seems... there's no difference."
Both Dong Yuanxiang and Lou Haoyu were busy with work, so after he was born and learned to walk, Dong Yuanxiang entrusted him to his grandmother to raise.
He could say that he was raised by his grandmother.
His parents would only come back occasionally each month to visit him for seven or eight days before going out to work again.
He also wanted them to spend more time with him, but his father always said that they had to go out and earn lots of money for him to get married in the future.
He's only six years old! What kind of wife is he going to get married?!
But he was small and weak, and his protests were ineffective. He could only listen to his parents and live well with his grandmother. Later... he got used to it.
Even if his parents divorce, they will still visit him as if they were on a business trip.
Lou Yuqi instantly understood, wiped away his tears and stopped crying: "Boss, I understand."
"Waaah, thank you so much, boss! I'll follow you for the rest of my life, take care of you, and support you in your old age!"
Nan Yuanman: "..."
There's no need for retirement planning; she's far from retirement age!
She ignored Lou Yuqi and, exhausted from the day, stretched out her limbs on the chair. Just as she was about to close her eyes to rest, she suddenly felt a strange movement in her mind.
Nan Yuanman suddenly opened his closed eyes, his mouth forming an "o" shape. This...this is...
