Chapter 67 Finally, they agreed to the divorce.
Since her bone marrow could save the child, could she use that as leverage to negotiate with Shen Jiheng?
Han Xi secretly came to the outside of the ward and saw the thin and pitiful child, feeling a pang of pity.
Shen Jiheng waited in the ward until the child fell asleep before leaving. However, as he closed the door, he saw Han Xi leaning against the wall.
Her expression was calm, but there was undisguised disappointment in her eyes.
"How did you end up here?"
As Shen Jiheng spoke, he looked towards the ward again, frowning as he asked, "Do you already know all this?"
Han Xi nodded: "Yes, let's talk!"
Feeling uneasy, Shen Jiheng nodded and followed her to the coffee shop across the street.
The last time the two parted on bad terms here, but this time the atmosphere was different. Han Xi took the initiative to order two cups of coffee, which seemed to indicate that she was really prepared to negotiate with him.
Shen Jiheng had no particular thoughts; he already knew the answer from the moment Han Xi appeared.
"The child's condition seems very serious; surgery is probably needed urgently!"
"Yes, she coaxed Gu Hanxi before in order to get treatment for the child. Now she can no longer bring any benefit to Tongtong. What's hateful is that as a mother, she disappeared at this critical moment."
Han Xi understood his feelings and, without beating around the bush, said directly, "I can donate bone marrow to the child."
Shen Jiheng gripped the cup tightly; what was bound to happen would eventually happen.
"Tell me your conditions, but I must tell you first that this surgery will have a significant impact on your body. Professor Yang said that it will take several attempts to succeed."
Perhaps saying this will dissuade her from her idea, since I know what she wants to do most right now.
Han Xi replied firmly, "I'm willing, as long as you agree to three conditions. You did anything to appease Gu Hanxi back then, so I'm sure you won't have any objections to these three conditions."
Shen Jiheng raised his chin, signaling her to continue.
"My first point is that I want all the shares of Han Shu Group, not just the ones you have, but also the ones Han Yue has."
"That's easy to say. You've done me a huge favor, no problem at all."
If only that were all, that would be wonderful, but he knew that what Han Xi wanted was definitely not just that little bit.
Han Xi added, "The second option is divorce. As I've said before, our marriage is meaningless."
Shen Jiheng let out a sigh of relief; it was indeed for this reason.
"Han Xi, are you really sure? If you've thought it through and divorced me, there will be no possibility between us."
"I've thought it through long ago. It's a mistake to be together without feelings, and this is the time to end it."
Being with him was a mistake, so is being with Bo Siye the only way to get back on track?
Thinking of the torment Shen Tongtong had suffered and Han Xi's determination, he nodded.
"Okay, I promise you."
The simple response felt like a needle pricking his chest, which was what Han Xi had hoped for, but he hadn't expected it to hurt so much at this moment.
Han Xi composed himself and made his final request.
"In addition, I need you to cash out the shares of Shen's Group that I hold."
"Are you trying to completely distance yourself from me?"
Han Xi looked up and said, "Since we're getting a divorce anyway, these things definitely need to be taken care of. We'll do it tomorrow morning, and the surgery can be done this afternoon."
If Han Xi hesitated even slightly, Shen Jiheng would have tried to persuade him to stay.
However, her resolute attitude left him no way out.
Since she wanted to leave him so badly, Shen Jiheng couldn't hold on to her.
"Deal! See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow!"
Han Xi turned around, her nose tingling and her throat choked with emotion.
Perhaps it's because we've hurt each other for so long that we can finally be free, or perhaps it's to put an end to the years of love I've had for him.
Unfortunately, it ended like this in the end.
Shen Jiheng sighed as he watched her retreating figure, then leaned weakly against the wall.
At that moment, he seemed to understand that he was really going to lose this woman.
When Han Xi returned to the law firm, Zhuo Qingqian noticed that her expression was off and put her arm around her shoulder.
"Xi Xi, what's wrong? Did something happen? You look terrible."
"Qianqian, Shen Jiheng and I have agreed to get a divorce tomorrow."
Zhuo Qingqian's eyes widened as she asked, "Really? That's great! You're lucky to have stayed away from that scumbag. We have to celebrate! Let's go to a bar tonight, it's on me."
Han Xi couldn't help but glance at her. Thinking of what had happened last time, she felt a bit reluctant to go to places like this.
Zhuo Qingqian saw through her thoughts and smiled, "Last time was an accident. Tonight, let's find a quiet bar to have a few drinks and relax. You have to start a new chapter in your life!"
"Look at how excited you are, it's like it happened to you."
"Of course! My best friend's business is my business. It's decided then and there. We'll drink until we drop tonight."
Han Xi truly envied her optimistic attitude and, not wanting to spoil her mood, nodded.
"Okay, let's go grab a couple of drinks then."
Zhuo Qingqian jumped up and down excitedly, which made Han Xi laugh.
That evening, Zhuo Qingqian found a quiet bar, and listening to soft music, Han Xi's mood improved considerably.
Zhuo Qingqian poured her a glass of wine and personally placed it in her hand.
“Xi Xi, let’s have a drink to celebrate your upcoming return to single life.”
Han Xi raised her glass with a smile, but after only one sip, her stomach churned violently, and she ran to the bathroom and vomited for a long time before coming out.
Zhuo Qingqian stepped forward and helped her to the sofa, asking with concern, "Xi Xi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why did you vomit like this after just one sip?"
Han Xi waved his hand, but before he could respond, he smelled the alcohol on the table and started vomiting.
Zhuo Qingqian, worried that something might be wrong, followed her into the restroom. Seeing her reaction, she exclaimed in surprise, "Xi Xi, with this reaction, could you be pregnant?!"
Han Xi, who was vomiting acid, froze and looked up at her in surprise. The look in her eyes startled Zhuo Qingqian, who gave an awkward smile.
"I just see that everyone around me who is pregnant reacts like you, and considering you already have a husband, this is normal."
Han Xi shook her head: "Impossible, we've always used contraception, and I even took the pill."
"Nothing in this world is 100% certain. Think about whether your period has come this month."
After she reminded him, Han Xi's eyes widened. He hadn't come.
Zhuo Qingqian guessed most of what was going on from her expression and went forward to help her.
"Xi Xi, let's go to the hospital for a check-up. We'll feel at ease once we know the results."
Han Xi felt as if half of her strength had been drained away. What would she do if she really got pregnant at this moment?
I finally managed to agree to a divorce with Shen Jiheng, and if he finds out, it will definitely cause trouble.
Speculation won't solve anything now, so she nodded helplessly, "Then you'll come with me."
To avoid Shen Jiheng, Han Xi went to the city hospital for a checkup, and the results shocked her. She was indeed pregnant and already more than three weeks along.
Looking at the medical report, Han Xi's eyes reddened, and she choked up, saying, "If only it were before, I wanted a child so badly, but now... it's come at the wrong time."
Zhuo Qingqian hugged her with heartache: "Xi Xi, don't be sad. You need to think this through. Even if the child doesn't have a father, he can have two mothers. We can raise him together."
