Chapter 11 Making the Decision to Divorce
Han Xi didn't reply; it turned out that the pain in her ribs could overshadow the pain in her heart.
After getting married, I always felt that I would be too sad to live without Shen Jiheng one day, but when it came time to talk about divorce, it turned out that it wasn't that difficult.
Sensing the loneliness in the woman's eyes, Shen Jiheng's heart was inexplicably gripped. He changed the subject at the right moment, "Let's move to a VIP ward. It'll be more convenient with a private bathroom."
“Okay.” Han Xi replied, “It would be best to move to the room next to your precious Xi Xi’s, so that you can easily switch between the two. My boat has already capsized, so you can stay on the other boat more. If both of them capsize, it will be a loss.”
Shen Jiheng: "..."
He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Han Xi, can we not mention her when we're together?"
Han Xi scoffed, "What, you're allowed to keep her in your heart, but I'm not allowed to talk about her? If you don't like it, go find her."
He was definitely headed for a divorce, and Han Xi wasn't afraid of offending him at all, so she went out of her way to poke at his sore spots.
Shen Jiheng lowered his eyes and stared at her, his dark and unfathomable eyes flickering thoughtfully, before saying, "So jealous? If I really went, wouldn't you be crying under the covers?"
"There's only the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, not the smell of vinegar," Han Xi retorted.
After changing to a different hospital room, Han Xi turned her head to the other side when she saw Shen Jiheng sitting on the sofa, not planning to leave.
But Shen Jiheng seemed determined to go against her, so he moved a stool and sat on the other side.
"Didn't you want to trade in your Audi S8 for a sports car? How about a Lamborghini SVJ? Or a 2023 Ferrari?"
Han Xi knew that he was trying to make up for her with material things.
But that was never what she needed; she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Shen Jiheng sensed the difference in Han Xi's attitude. In the past, when Han Xi threw a tantrum, he could easily appease her, but this time it was clear that things wouldn't end well. This wasn't just a matter of her wanting a divorce; it was that she had already made up her mind to divorce him...
He pinched the bridge of his nose, knocked a cigarette out of the pack, put it in his mouth, and then got up to go out and find a place to smoke.
He had given her several ways out, but she just wouldn't take them.
When did he stop understanding Han Xi completely?
Three years ago, he married Han Xi for the prescription she possessed, and Han Xi for a life of luxury. Since she married into the Shen family for the life of a wealthy wife, why is she suddenly indifferent to the material things he proposes? This method had worked perfectly every time over the past three years…
The door closed very softly, but Han Xi still heard it. She opened her eyes, and the room was so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat, since the man was gone.
It was slow and painful.
I tell myself I don't care, but when I actually see him running around between the two sides so smoothly, I can't help but feel sad. This sadness is uncontrollable.
After finishing his cigarette, Shen Jiheng returned to the ward and first went to the bathroom to wash his hands, afraid that the smell of smoke would bother the people in the room.
As she walked out of the restroom, wiping her hands, she asked, "What do you want for dinner? The doctor said to avoid spicy food, I..."
“Ji Heng…”
Gu Hanxi stood at the door with red eyes. She was wearing a hospital gown, but there were several conspicuous hickeys on her neck, which made it clear at a glance what she had been through.
Han Xi's face showed a mocking expression.
Did Shen Jiheng's back-and-forth running finally annoy the other party, causing them to chase after him?
It's really unsettling that they don't know how to behave in the hospital.
Shen Jiheng turned his head, his body stiffening. "What are you doing here?"
Han Xi didn't see the impatience in the man's eyes; from her angle, the man's gaze was fixed intently on Gu Hanxi.
“Ji Heng, I’m scared to be alone, I…” Gu Hanxi said, tears streaming down her face, like a person who could never stop crying.
"The smell of infidelity can never be washed away," Han Xi sneered, no longer looking at the two of them.
Shen Jiheng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. How could he not know what Han Xi was talking about? The red marks on Gu Hanxi's neck were too conspicuous!
"Go back first." The man's cold aura did not intimidate Gu Hanxi. She had long forgotten what he had said not long ago.
"Ji Heng, the baby is making me feel terrible and I can't get any rest. Only when you comfort him does he behave a little..." Gu Hanxi sobbed, looking pitiful.
Shen Jiheng's expression darkened. "Gu Hanxi, Han Xi is my wife."
