She has been deceived for so many years.
I keep wondering if it's because I'm not good enough that he's always so distracted.
It turns out that from the very beginning, the two of them were not thinking the same thing.
She should thank him; he put an end to the last lingering regret in her heart.
"I never thought that after all these years, I would still be so naive. You're right, it was just a transaction. Thinking so much about it is just wishful thinking."
Qu Huang put on a smiling face and said to Ge, "Go back and wait for the divorce papers. At most, it will be less than a week before you are set free."
Yu Ge didn't want this outcome. He wanted Qu Huang to go back with him and return to the way things were before, to be a couple in name only.
But it seems he said something wrong.
Yu Ge had never seen Qu Huang cry, or rather, there was one time.
On their wedding day, Qu Huang wept with joy.
He found it strange at the time; what was there to cry about at a wedding?
Now he understands that this strong-willed woman was actually working hard to cultivate their relationship, but he went against her wishes, rendering her efforts completely meaningless.
Yu Ge should have tried to persuade Qu Huang to stay, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He's a chauvinist, and for the sake of his family and company's rise and fall, coming to Qu Huang is already the limit.
He couldn't bring himself to apologize. He could only watch as Qu Huang turned her back to him, his fists clenched, unable to move an inch.
Divorce is actually very simple; a divorce agreement can sever a seven-year relationship.
Of course, divorce is not so simple for people of their social class.
The Yu family is currently overwhelmed with lawsuits and their stock market has plummeted. They are too busy taking care of themselves to handle anything else. Yu Ge also has to settle his marital estate and divide it equally with Qu Huang.
Rong Yan felt that women were more likely to be taken advantage of in divorce cases, so he asked Qu Tu to help Qu Huang more to prevent her from being taken advantage of by Yu Ge.
Qu Tu was particularly pleasantly surprised that he had integrated into the Qu family so quickly and then became Qu Huang's supporter.
While preoccupied with Qu Huang's affairs, Rong Yan had no idea that trouble would soon find him.
It's not that beastly uncle of his; he's already been sent to a gambling rehabilitation center and is being given special attention. Unless he behaves exceptionally well, he'll never be able to get out in his next life.
The woman who came to the door was heavily pregnant. Apart from her large belly, she was very thin. Her expression was pitiful and she looked very charming.
"I had no other choice but to come here. I hope I haven't bothered you."
Rong Yan's expression immediately became subtle. This person seemed clever, but couldn't even speak properly.
Showing up to someone with a big belly without even saying hello is not only disturbing but also impolite.
Although that's what he was thinking, Rong Yan remained polite on the surface.
What do you need me for?
The woman lowered her head, touched her round belly a couple of times, and without saying a word, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Waaah, I'm Mr. Qu's ex-girlfriend. We broke up half a year ago. I didn't know I was pregnant at the time. My family is very strict and won't let me have the child. No one is willing to marry a pregnant woman. I had no other choice but to come to you. Please give me a way out."
Rong Yan revealed a playful smile, an expression rarely seen on his face, one he had never shown in front of others before.
He appeared very understanding, but also distressed: "Unfortunately, our country practices monogamy, so I can't help you."
The woman suddenly raised her head, and for a fleeting moment, she saw a deep mockery in Rong Yan's eyes.
She thought about the rumors circulating outside, that Qu Shaogang had just married a Maitreya Buddha-like woman who never asked any questions and was very easy to bully.
The way he was teasing her like a cat or dog must be her imagination.
The woman then mustered her courage and uttered a fantastical tale: "I don't want a title, I just want a place to live."
Rong Yan smiled, his eyes crinkling: "What do you think of this villa?"
The woman's eyes lit up, and she was so excited that she forgot herself, clutching her bulging belly and exclaiming, "I knew it! You have a kind heart!"
