"Chen Bailu, the most important reason for the divorce is that I'm tired of this marriage. I'm Xiao Chengzi's father, but first of all, I'm a person. I worked hard to have such a beautiful and happy marriage, but in the end, all I got was a tryst between you and Cheng Juan at the hot spring villa..."
As the saying goes, a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. No matter how unhappy and unbearable the divorce was, when he married Chen Bailu, he was aiming for a peaceful, stable, ordinary and happy life.
Chen Bailu argued sharply: "No, it's not a tryst. Cheng Juan said he wanted to see you and tell you about our past. I was afraid that you would know... I was impulsive and attacked Cheng Juan. Jining, I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me? Forgive me, you, me, and Xiaochengzi. No, if you don't like the name Xiaochengzi, we can change Xiaochengzi's name. Xiaoyouzi or Xiaopingguo are both fine..."
There was deep disappointment in Xie Jining's eyes.
"In the final analysis, it's you who doesn't trust me. If there's nothing going on between you and Cheng Juan, why didn't you let him come to me? Do you think I would trust an outsider, not my wife? Not my daughter's mother?"
Shen Bailu covered her face and shook her head desperately.
"Xuning, no, it's really not like that!"
Xie Jining had a headache. He suppressed his inner irritation and asked, "Then tell me, why is that?"
Shen Bailu hurriedly explained, “Jining, I love you, and I’m afraid of losing you, so I hid it from you.”
"So where are you now?" Xie Jining asked.
Chen Bailu said without hesitation: "I love you now too! Ji Ning, you are my lover. The person I love is not Cheng Juan, but you. I just regard Cheng Juan as a brother who grew up with me."
Xie Jining rubbed his temples tiredly and said solemnly: "Chen Bailu, what you call love for me is going in and out with other men? What you call love is that everyone in the imperial capital knows that you and Cheng Juan are having an affair? What you call love is that Cheng Juan asks Xiao Chengzi if she is willing to call him daddy? Chen Bailu, are you really stupid? Or are you really dumb? You say you love me, but you are being ambiguous with other men?"
Xie Jining's words made Shen Bailu's pretty face pale, she suddenly loosened her hands and looked at Xie Jining in a daze.
"I didn't! I really didn't! It's not like that..."
When Shen Bailu finished speaking, her voice became weaker.
Xie Jining sneered, "If I were a woman and we were as close as you and Cheng Juan, would you believe me if I said I loved you?"
Shen Bailu looked at Xie Jining in despair, "Jining, you don't like Cheng Juan, I can be with him..."
"Chen Bailu, there's no possibility for us." Xie Jining stood up and looked at Shen Bailu calmly, "Let's talk about the divorce today, and let's just end it like this!"
Deep in Shen Bailu's heart, a huge panic rose.
She wanted to get closer to Xie Jining, but Xie Jining's cold eyes prevented her from taking any step forward.
"Jining, can't we start over? I can close the teahouse, find a good job, and be a good wife. I will..."
Xie Jining shook his head lightly.
"unnecessary."
Chen Bailu's tears fell like rain.
"One last question. My eldest brother and sister-in-law were poisoned. Does this have anything to do with you?"
