Chapter 492 I don't need your pity
Xia Youxin sat on the sofa. Although her lower abdomen was still aching slightly, it seemed to be a little better. She didn't know if it was because she was too tense and her attention wasn't on her stomach, so it didn't hurt as much.
She looked up at Qi Xuan, not wanting to waste too much time or owe him too much of a favor, because favors shouldn't exist between them in the first place.
"I'm fine now, you can go back. Thank you for today. You still haven't told me how much the medicine cost."
Qi Xuan tossed the medicine in his hand onto the coffee table. "I'm not going to haggle over such a small amount of money with a woman."
"Let's keep things separate. You can be easygoing with others, but I don't want to take advantage of you. I want to be serious about it, okay?"
"Just consider this as me giving alms to a beggar!"
"Qi Xuan, I'm trying to talk to you nicely. Do we have to argue every time we meet? Can't we just have a proper conversation? If I were a beggar, I wouldn't need your pity!"
Qi Xuan didn't want to argue with her, but every time this woman spoke, she seemed determined to distance herself from him.
The restrictions really annoyed him.
The woman who used to sleep next to him now treats him like a stranger, a feeling that makes him very uncomfortable.
"Did I want to argue with you? Think back to the time we met again after our fight. Every time, you've been cold and hostile towards me. Even when I try to have a nice conversation with you, you treat me like an enemy."
Xia Youxin thought about it carefully and it seemed that was indeed the case.
But she didn't think she had done anything wrong. They were already divorced, so why should she give the other person any face? Besides, their breakup wasn't amicable to begin with.
"So what? Do I need to be polite to an ex-husband who betrayed me? Besides, it's not like I asked you to help me with what happened today. It's just menstrual cramps, nothing serious. What do you mean by pretending to be kind and helping me now?"
When we were together before, I never saw you care about me. It's not like I just started hurting today; I've been in pain for many years. But did you ever care?
Even when my stomach was cramping so badly I couldn't stand up, I still cooked for you, didn't I? But what about you? When you come home, you're always picky or don't want to eat. You've never cared about my feelings, and now you're acting all dramatic with me.
Qi Xuan, you've brought this situation upon yourselves. Since you don't like me, since you hate me, then keep hating me. I don't want any favors from you, not even the slightest bit. Don't act like I owe you anything!
Qi Xuan felt a dull ache somewhere in his heart, and the pain was getting worse until his whole body felt stiff.
He knew that he had indeed made mistakes in that marriage, and since they were married, it was an unchangeable fact. Even if he wasn't good to her, he shouldn't have treated her so badly.
Now that I regret it, it seems too late.
If he were given another chance, if time could turn back, perhaps he would try to get along with her properly instead of always remembering her scheming.
Qi Xuan didn't say anything, but turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Then came a rustling sound.
