Chapter 59: Talking about Divorce
Yan Nian let go of the door handle and moved to the study door.
There was a thin quilt on the sofa bed in the study, and a suitcase stood next to it.
Like a traveler who has lived here for a long time, ready to leave at any time.
Yan Nian walked in and sat on the lounge chair beside the table, twisting his fingers as he looked at the pot of cactus covered with thorns on the table.
Yan Qilin came back from the kitchen with a glass of milk and placed it in front of her: "One glass every night, don't forget."
Yan Nian took his actions into account, with a hint of flattery, which was not at all like how she usually treated her.
Yan Nian said, "Dad, I've been drinking milk at night since high school."
Yan Qilin suddenly realized and smiled: "Oh, Dad forgot, you can drink it now."
Yan Nian moved the corners of his mouth stiffly, but never reached for the glass of milk.
She had seen Yan Qilin being meticulous in school, knowledgeable and highly respected.
I don't know when it started, but communicating with her has become so cautious.
Yan Nian waited for him to speak.
Yan Qilin walked to the desk and sat down, sighing softly: "Dad just wanted to talk to you about moving to the north."
Yan Nian finally regained consciousness and looked at him.
Yan Qilin asked, "Dad wants to ask what you think? I respect your decision."
Yan Nian said, "I don't want to move there."
Yan Qilin nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't go. Your grandmother is old, and I want you to spend more time with her. Also, your job has just stabilized, so it's not appropriate to leave now."
Yan Nian's eyelashes fluttered, and he pulled his chair closer to Yan Qilin: "Dad, can you please persuade her not to go?"
Yan Qilin turned his eyes away in embarrassment: "You know your mother's temper over the years. I plan to bring your grandmother over after she passes away and let her accompany you."
The anticipation on Yan Nian's face gradually froze. It seemed that since Xu Yiqing had no intention of coming back, Yan Qilin would just let her go and not ask about it anymore.
"Your grandmother is old. We have been in Lingyun for many years and have not had the opportunity to take care of her. She really wants you to stay with her."
Seeing her silence, Yan Qilin continued, "The medical level here is more convenient in all aspects. This is what Dad planned."
"As for your matter, I'll go talk to your mother. If she wants to go somewhere else, let her go..."
Before Yan Qilin could finish, Yan Nian interrupted him coldly:
"Are you getting a divorce?"
The words Yan Qilin was about to say died in his throat. He looked into his daughter's indifferent eyes, which seemed so unfamiliar. He clenched his hands on the desk into fists and sighed with a worried look on his face.
Silence has given the answer.
Yan Nian was calmer than expected. She was already used to them making decisions without consulting her.
But I don’t know whether I should be happy for them and let each other go.
Or should we feel sad that they are both in their fifties and have been through so much together and are suddenly getting divorced?
I was speechless for a moment.
She is an adult, so there is no question of custody, but she will ultimately stay with whomever she chooses.
It is undoubtedly a difficult problem.
Yan Nian stood up: "I'll go back to my room first."
Yan Qilin stood up: "Nian Nian."
Yan Nian returned to the room, stood with his back to the door for a while with his mind clear, and then went to take a shower.
Come back, lie on the bed, close your eyes and go to sleep.
The next day.
Yan Nian heard the noise outside and got up.
After washing up, I sent a message to Zhou Ran: [Zhou Ran, can I borrow your car today?]
Zhou Ran: [Whatever.]
Yan Qilin got ready to go out.
Yan Nian drove Zhou Ran's car and caught up with his own car.
Once we got on the main road, the traffic was quite dense and we were soon left far behind by Yan Qilin.
Maybe it was because Zhou Ran’s car was more expensive, so the cars in the two lanes next to her didn’t dare to step on the gas when she turned on the turn signal.
Followed up smoothly.
Following him all the way to a new real estate development in the best location in the southern part of the city, Yan Qilin parked the car on the side of the road with the hazard lights on, as if waiting for someone.
There are few people living in the building, and not many people are walking around the entrance of the community.
Not long after, a woman appeared in the empty field of vision.
Yan Nian took off his sunglasses and sat up straight. He could see clearly that the woman was about forty years old, with long curly hair tied into a low ponytail, delicate makeup, and a warm green ankle-length chiffon dress. She walked towards him with a smile on her face, stepping on high heels.
At this time, Yan Qilin got out of the car and walked around to the passenger seat to open the door for her, and very gentlemanly shielded her head.
It was not until they got in the car and drove away that Yan Nian's pupils moved and he came back to his senses from his daze.
Yan Nian tried to calm his racing heartbeat, shifted the gears, got in the car and sped up to catch up.
The two parked the car and entered a piano mansion.
After more than ten minutes, it was no longer two people who came out together, but three people.
There was also a little girl in her teens. Yan Qilin smiled and stroked her head, and his praise floated into Yan Nian's ears through the gap in the car window.
He is so doting and his eyes are so gentle when he looks at women.
She and Xu Yiqing haven't seen each other for many years.
Yan Nian watched them drive away happily, tears streaming down her face as if they had broken off the string.
Yan Qilin had put away the love that originally belonged to her many years ago and gave it to someone else.
…
Yan Nian spent a few days in a daze.
She deliberately avoided Xu Yiqing these days. Xu Yiqing called her many times and even came to the company to find her.
Yan Nian hid his ID card in a drawer at the company.
Whenever Xu Yiqing asked her for it, she always said she was working overtime and didn't have time to get it.
Zhou Ran sent her a message: [Picture]
【Change the taste tomorrow?】
Yan Nian opened it and saw that it was the breakfast he had brought him that morning, as well as brewed coffee.
She's been like this these past few days.
Yan Nian replied: [Yes.]
There was the sound of a chair sliding behind him, and Yan Nian quickly closed the chat interface.
Xu Mi noticed that her expression was not right: "Are the relatives here?"
"No." Yan Nian stared at the computer busy.
Xu Mi chirped, "Hey, sister, are you looking for a man? I've set up a plan. I'm going to take you to the bar this week. With your alluring looks, you're guaranteed to charm everyone."
"I'm not interested in the men in your pool."
"Ouch!" Xu Mi became interested and nudged her with her elbow. "If there's anything that's not in the pool, I'll introduce it to you."
Yan Nian: "No need, just consume it yourself!"
“…” Xu Mi gritted her teeth and glared at her, then slid the chair back.
Xu Xinrui smiled and raised his coffee, saying, "Come on, use it up!"
Xu Mi pretended to hit her.
There was a friend request on WeChat. Yan Nian opened it and saw the note: Hello Yan Nian, I am Cheng Xiao.
Yan Nian immediately clicked to approve.
Cheng Xiao took the initiative to send her an emoticon package, and added a sentence: [Yan Nian, are you busy? ]
Yan Nian: [Not busy.]
Cheng Xiao: [It's like this, Hongyu and I are getting married at the end of next month, and I want to treat everyone to a meal in advance. I've created a group, can I add you in?]
Yan Nian: [Of course.]
Cheng Xiao: [Okay, let’s talk after you get off work.]
Yan Nian: [Yes.]
After joining the group, Yan Nian looked at the number of people. Apart from the two who were about to get married, there were only Zhao Shutong, Zhou Ran and her, a total of five people.
Zhao Shutong immediately threw flowers: [Welcome Sister Yan Nian, there's finally someone joining the group.]
Zhao Shutong: [I want to add one too.]
Wang Hongyu: [If you didn't pass the postgraduate entrance exam, you can try adding another one.]
Zhao Shutong: [……]
Zhou Ran: [Brother Ran supports you.]
Wang Hongyu: [?]
