Qiao Wanwan took a sip of warm water and said calmly, "There needs to be a reason for a divorce. What does a divorce mean now?"
"Boss..."
Qiao Wanwan interrupted him, "I've been thinking a lot these past two days. I misjudged people. I didn't see Gu Xulin's true character before, and then I failed to see Zhan Jingting's true character later. Actually, his changes were foreshadowed. It's as if he suddenly stopped caring about me. He promised to pick me up from school but didn't come, and he didn't even notice that my face was injured and had a band-aid on it."
"Although I noticed the change in him, I didn't think about it in any other way. Instead, I thought I was being too sensitive and didn't need to pay attention to these small details."
"Xiang Yang, I admit that I lack confidence in front of him, and I even feel a little inferior because I have had a child. So when things happened, I lost my ability to make accurate judgments."
Xiang Yang scratched his head. "Boss, I just want to know, what are you planning to do next?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "You don't need to ask anything. I don't want to drag you into this. Just finish what you're doing and go abroad."
Xiang Yang swallowed nervously. Oh no, it seems the boss really can't swallow this insult and is going to go against Zhan Jingting!
Qiao Wanwan ignored Xiang Yang's hesitation and didn't press him for what he wanted to say. She ordered and cooked the meal herself, and after finishing the meal, she gave him the order to leave, saying, "I'm going back to school tomorrow, so you should hurry up and go abroad to take care of your own things."
Xiang Yang looked hurt. "Boss, you seem like a completely different person. You've become so aloof. You actually kicked me out."
"You have your own life and shouldn't stop for me. That way we can grow together. Also, you should stay out of my business with Zhan Jingting from now on."
Xiang Yang sighed helplessly, "Then I'll go deal with Duan Yuanyuan's matter first. Boss, call me if you need anything."
"good."
......
In the study, Zhan Jingting stared at the documents in front of him, but couldn't concentrate on a single word, and irritably pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Master Zhan," Jiang Dong walked in and reported, "I've checked, and Madam hasn't shown any unusual behavior these past two days. She's been staying in her apartment, cooking her own meals, and everything seems normal."
“It can’t be normal.” Zhan Jingting said with certainty, “Lin Mo is right about one thing: Wanwan is someone who can let go easily. She won’t have any lingering feelings for a scumbag like me. Even if she is resentful and wants revenge, she will definitely end the marriage with me first, because too much entanglement will only disgust her.”
"What Master Zhan means is that Madam is acting strangely."
"Investigate. Also, she's currently living alone in an apartment. Send more people to protect her secretly."
"yes."
Zhan Jingting pulled the marriage certificate from his pocket, gently stroking the nervous, youthful face on it, and murmured to himself, "Wanwan, what am I going to do with you..."
In the evening, the apartment doorbell suddenly rang.
Qiao Wanwan went to open the door and saw Lin Mo standing outside.
"Wanwan, I'm here to mooch dinner."
"Come in," Qiao Wanwan greeted. "I was just about to make dinner, but it's going to be simple. Can I use the chicken broth I made at noon to cook noodles?"
"sure."
Lin Mo followed her into the kitchen, looking at her slender figure from behind, and asked, "Didn't you go out this afternoon?"
"I brought soup to Zaozao at the hospital. I have to go back to school tomorrow, so I won't have time to bring it to her."
"good."
"You didn't come here to freeload, did you?" Qiao Wanwan cut to the chase. "I don't want to say anything more about Zhan Jingting. He's no good. Stay away from me in the future, so I don't drag you down with me."
"Wanwan, do you think I'd be afraid of being implicated?"
“You’re not afraid, but I am. You know that. I’m especially afraid of owing favors, especially since you still have feelings for me. I’m even less likely to involve you in this.” Qiao Wanwan took out a handful of noodles and put them into the pot. “Lin Mo, after this meal, don’t appear in my life again.”
"Wanwan, can I take it that you're afraid of dragging me down because you care about me?"
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"Lin Mo, you've misunderstood." She coldly denied, "I'm going to confront Zhan Jingting. My life is uncertain. I don't care about myself, but I don't want to burden others and add to my own psychological burden. That's all."
Lin Mo walked to her side and said, "Wanwan, you shouldn't have made this choice. Divorce Zhan Jingting, and I'll take you and Zaozao abroad. Believe me, you will definitely be happy."
Qiao Wanwan stirred the noodles in the pot with her chopsticks, her voice calm and even, "Lin Mo, I am very grateful to you, but your kindness to me is a burden to me."
“I have nothing left to hold me in this world. There is nothing I cherish, and I don’t want to cherish it. That’s why I dare to confront Zhan Jingting. No matter what the outcome is, I don’t want anyone to add to my burden.”
Lin Mo clenched his teeth tightly, "Wanwan, you're not being fair to me."
“I don’t think so. If liking someone requires a response, then how fair has Zhan Jingting ever been to me?” Qiao Wanwan took a deep breath. “I don’t want to discuss this topic anymore. If you want to eat, you can stay. If you want to continue talking about this, you can leave.”
Lin Mo closed his eyes briefly and said, "Sorry, I won't say anything more."
The chicken noodle soup was cooked quickly, and the two sat at the table, eating slowly and quietly.
"Wanwan." Lin Mo looked up at the noble and aloof girl opposite him. "I will not give up on you. If you want to confront Zhan Jingting, I will accompany you, accompany you to win, and accompany you to lose."
Qiao Wanwan was taken aback, then quickly put down her chopsticks, got up and left, saying, "I'm full. Remember to close the door behind you when you leave."
Lin Mo closed his eyes in pain, concealing the anger surging within them.
Qiao Wanwan nestled on the sofa in her room. After some time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Lin Mo's gentle voice came from outside, "Wanwan, I've cleaned up the kitchen. I ordered some fruit for you, washed it and left it outside. Remember to eat it. I'm going back now."
The noise outside the door quickly subsided. After a while, Qiao Wanwan got up and went out, where she saw a plate of sliced fruit on the coffee table.
She sat down on the soft cushion, picked up a fruit fork, and began to eat. But all she tasted was bitter, just like her current mood.
......
The next morning, Qiao Wanwan went to school on time.
"Qiao Wanwan!" Zhan Yin ran to sit down beside her. "The bird's nest matter has been resolved perfectly, and Uncle has stopped imprisoning my mother!"
Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "He also imprisoned your mother before?"
"Of course, this is no small matter, and the consequences will be severe."
"So what were the results of your investigation? Who exactly poisoned the bird's nest?"
