Wei Mingshen sat up straight, raised an eyebrow, and gestured for her to speak.
Su Xueli turned her face to the window and said, "I think we should get a divorce as soon as possible. I don't want to drag it out any longer."
Wei Mingshen said, "Didn't we agree that we should make money quickly, pay back the money we spent on our wedding to my parents, then get a divorce, and I'll continue working for you to pay off your debts?"
Su Xueli said, "I can't wait any longer. I'm going to borrow money from my parents tomorrow to fill this hole. I'll tell them I'm borrowing money to treat your illness."
Wei Mingshen jumped out of bed and said firmly, "I disagree."
Su Xueli looked up at him: "Why?"
Wei Mingshen said with a livid face, "Because I have a sense of shame."
"What does this have to do with your face? It's not like you're not going to pay me back."
“But I cannot allow you to borrow money from your family to give me. This is my bottom line. Don’t bring this up again.”
Su Xueli's heart pounded. She thought to herself, "This man is so handsome, how come he looks so scary?"
Wei Mingshen looked at her and said, "You really don't need to be in such a hurry to divorce me. No one in my family has mistreated you. My sister is the only one who's being unreasonable, but the whole family disciplines her for you. As for me, I won't touch you, at most I'll hug you, and that's all for your own good..."
How did things get so twisted as we started talking?
Su Xueli interrupted him, saying, "That's not how it is. It's exhausting to pretend to be a couple when we're not. And your Lin Meizhi is waiting for you too. Can you bear to let her wait any longer?"
Wei Mingshen said quietly, "That's not something you should worry about."
Su Xueli: "..."
"you……"
The two looked at each other and spoke.
Wei Mingshen waved his hand, "You go first."
Su Xueli asked him, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, are you still going out for drinks?"
He shook his head. "I'm not drinking anymore. I drank all day yesterday and my head still hurts a bit today."
Su Xueli said, "So what do you want to say?"
He asked Su Xueli, "Will you let me hold you while we sleep tonight?"
"rogue!"
Wei Mingshen looked aggrieved: "How can you be so ungrateful? I was clearly acting as your heater and you still called me a hooligan. Isn't this like getting a good deal and then acting innocent?"
Su Xueli rolled her eyes; he was telling the truth.
I have to say, being held by him while sleeping feels so warm and cozy, and even my dreams are sweet.
She bit her lip and apologized to him: "I was wrong. You're not a hooligan, you're my heater."
Wei Mingshen nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it. At least you have some conscience. So, can I still cuddle you while we sleep?"
Su Xueli couldn't very well say "Let me hug you," so she gave a vague reply: "You go to sleep, I'll go to sleep later."
"Look at you, isn't that a completely irrelevant answer? Are you going to let me hug you or not?"
I won't tell you.
"Okay, okay, I know. You're just too shy to ask me to hug you. I'll wait for you in bed then."
Why does that make me blush and my heart race?
But when Su Xueli looked at him, his expression was easygoing, as if he were saying the most ordinary things between husband and wife.
She couldn't bring herself to curse anymore.
It was cold sitting outside, so Su Xueli washed up and sat in bed to read.
She had just taken off her coat and gotten into bed when he pulled back the covers.
