Chapter 9 We're already divorced
Yu Yan's eyes, which had been frozen in ink, turned red without her realizing it.
During the past three years abroad, she missed her child terribly. When she missed him so much, she would repeatedly look at the photos and videos saved on her phone, including pictures of him from when he was one to three years old.
But she was still absent from his growth.
Sometimes I can't help but want to call Xiang Jingheng and hear Xiang Chu's voice...
She worked tirelessly on her research, sacrificing herself day and night in her experiments, afraid to stop. If she did stop working, the longing would gnaw at her heart like insects.
Once, Xiang Jingheng was interviewed by a financial magazine. He talked about his son, Xiang Chu, and also about his confidante, Gan Xiaoxing.
He mentioned that his son is a research enthusiast and wants to become a scientist in the future, and his godmother, Gan Xiaoxing, is his idol.
Yu Yan's tears streamed down her face.
She also wanted to be her son's idol, and wanted her child to be proud to have her as a mother, instead of feeling that she was unworthy and not even wanting to acknowledge her.
"Don't be so hurtful when you're just a child."
In the silence, Shao Muyan turned to look at Xiang Jingheng, his tone cold: "It is the adults' dereliction of duty for a child to say such things."
Teachers naturally have a stern way of criticizing people, and Xiang Chu shrank back behind Xiang Jingheng in fear.
Xiang Jingheng didn't speak, but just pursed his lips and looked at Shao Muyan. Their eyes met briefly in the air.
Some unseen sparks are flying.
Gan Xiaoxing couldn't stand it anymore. She felt that Shao Muyan's impolite words were not only venting Yu Yan's anger, but also slapping her and Xiang Jingheng in the face.
"Professor Shao, what do you know..."
"Shut up!"
Before Gan Xiaoxing could finish speaking, Yu Yan coldly interrupted her.
The three people opposite all turned their gazes toward Yu Yan.
Yu Yan was a head taller than Gan Xiaoxing, who was wearing high heels, and easily adopted a cold and disdainful attitude. "I used to ignore you, but you've become so arrogant. Why do you talk so much?"
She coldly uttered a sentence, then turned and walked towards the hotel front desk.
Shao Muyan followed closely behind.
"Jing Heng..." Behind him, Gan Xiaoxing was whimpering in utter distress.
Xiang Jingheng comforted her with a few words.
Yu Yan ignored them and went to the front desk to ask, only to find that there were no rooms available.
"There aren't any rooms left?" Yu Yan adjusted her baseball cap and asked incredulously, "A suite is fine too, I'll pay for it myself."
The receptionist glanced in Shao Muyan's direction and shook her head: "I'm sorry, ma'am, we really don't have any left."
Yu Yan sighed inwardly at her unfortunate start upon returning to China, but she wasn't in a hurry; she would just find another hotel.
Just as she was about to ask if there were any star-rated hotels nearby, a long, slender hand suddenly reached out and took her suitcase. Yu Yan quickly pressed down on the suitcase, frowning, "What are you doing?"
"..." Xiang Jingheng frowned. Did she have to be so wary?
He's not some venomous snake or ferocious beast.
In front of everyone, Xiang Jingheng didn't want to have a conflict with Yu Yan, so he held back his anger and said, "Isn't the hotel out of rooms? Come home with me first, it's not like we don't have a place to stay at home."
"Home? Which one are you talking about?"
Yu Yan was speechless, then laughed angrily: "Xiang Jingheng, have you forgotten that we are already divorced?"
The word "divorce" made Xiang Jingheng's face turn ugly immediately.
He hadn't forgotten, but did she have to say that at this time and in this situation?
How can she not feel ashamed!
Xiang Chu was gently pushed forward by Gan Xiaoxing and immediately said, "Dad, don't let her come back to our house, that's not her home!"
He glanced at Yu Yan and snorted coldly, "She was the one who wanted to leave back then, and once she left, she shouldn't expect to come back. Anyway, I've already given all her things to my godmother, so there's no place for her to stay if she goes back."
Yu Yan's fingertips were icy cold, as if a sharp blade had pierced her heart.
Ten words from Xiang Jingheng would not have hurt her as much as one sentence from Xiang Chu.
It seems that in the three years she was away, Gan Xiaoxing had already become a close friend and got along very well with Xiang Chu.
As expected, she wasn't surprised.
It's impossible for it not to hurt when it's your own son who stabbed you.
Seeing that Yu Yan's face was as white as snow, almost without a trace of blood, Shao Muyan's eyes suddenly darkened. He pulled the suitcase back from Xiang Jingheng's hands and grabbed Yu Yan's wrist with his other hand.
Feeling the warmth covering her wrist, Yu Yan was slightly taken aback.
"Okay, stop arguing with me."
Shao Muyan's voice was almost doting, and his warm hand slid from her wrist to her hand and grasped it, "Let's go home."
"..."
Xiang Jingheng watched the two figures leave and clenched his teeth.
go home?
Yu Yan and Shao Muyan are indeed together.
Ha, women change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book!
