Chapter 88 If you don’t divorce, does that mean you still love the man deeply?
Li Zhinan turned his head and looked towards the clothing room.
Just ten months ago, Cheng Qian would walk in quietly every morning, personally select the clothes he would wear for the day, print and iron them, and hang them by his bed.
There was a time when he had stomach discomfort due to drinking. Cheng Qian would teach her aunt how to make stomach-nourishing food, and she would also add some edible medicinal herbs to the food. His stomach problem was really cured in half a month.
When she is busy at work, she works overtime desperately. When she is not busy, she stays quietly at home and plays with her children.
She never asked to go with him to his business engagements.
She also treated his friends gently and never said a bad word about them.
If you think about it carefully, Cheng Qian is still a qualified wife.
Except she was of ordinary origin.
She has a pure and beautiful appearance, a slender and delicate figure, academic talent, and a personality as gentle as a kitten. There is nothing wrong with her, but... in Li Zhinan's eyes, her good points are nothing but being ruthless, boring, dull and rigid.
There was a flash of anger in her eyes just now, and she turned around ruthlessly and spoke without mercy.
This is more arousing than the previous dullness, and it can arouse his interest in communication.
Li Zhinan's eyes turned, and a smile appeared on his thin lips.
I believe the days ahead will not be too boring.
Three days later, the Chu family will hold a small party to celebrate Chu's father's recovery.
Li Zhinan and his wife were naturally among the invited guests.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Qian was still in the laboratory when she received a call from Li Zhinan.
Cheng Qian hadn't finished her work yet, so she didn't want to go over.
"Cheng Xi, I promised you that I won't divorce you within four years. Shouldn't you also be a little sincere?" Feeling her rejection, Li Zhinan immediately reminded her.
Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment, then agreed: "Okay, I'll be there on time at 7 o'clock."
Qiao Silin happened to hear her call, and he immediately asked with concern: "Is it urgent? If so, go ahead and do it. I'll watch over here."
As soon as Qiao Silin finished speaking, his cell phone rang.
He went out to answer the phone, came back, and asked Cheng Qian: "Are you going to the Chu family's dinner?"
Cheng Qian nodded: "I want to go."
Qiao Silin laughed: "I was invited too."
Cheng Qian was stunned. If Qiao Silin went with them, would she still be able to hide the fact that Li Zhinan was her husband?
Qiao Silin saw Cheng Qian's expression change, and he roughly guessed what she was thinking.
But he didn't ask directly. He wanted to see how she would argue about this tonight.
"Dr. Qiao!" Cheng Qian said suddenly after thinking for a while, "There is something I want to tell you."
Qiao Silin's hands froze and he turned to look at her.
Cheng Qian said seriously: "Actually, Li Zhinan is my husband."
Qiao Silin's expression changed. He wanted to hear her excuses that night, so how come she figured out the answer so quickly?
Cheng Qian showed a guilty expression: "I'm sorry for keeping it from you for so long."
"You are the famous and mysterious Mrs. Li. Nice to meet you." Qiao Silin responded indifferently.
Cheng Qian was stunned: "I am famous?"
"Isn't it?" Qiao Silin narrowed his eyes slightly. "Everyone knows that Li Zhinan and Cheng Yan have a special relationship. Those who know that he has a wife probably want to know how you feel as his original wife."
Cheng Qian's heart felt like it was stabbed with a knife. She said bitterly to herself, "I don't care anymore."
"So are you guys going to get divorced soon?" Qiao Silin asked, staring into her eyes.
Cheng Qian remembered that she had previously told Qiao Silin that she wanted to fight for custody of the child. She said awkwardly, "I'm not considering divorce for now."
"So, you were lying the whole time when you tried to get me into the lab?" Qiao Silin showed an unfathomable expression, and his already authoritative and handsome face became gloomy, with an even more oppressive feeling.
Cheng Qian's back trembled, and she immediately explained: "No, I didn't lie to you. At that time, I did intend to divorce him. We had already discussed it."
"Then why don't you divorce now?" Qiao Silin felt indescribably irritated.
"The child is still young, and as parents, we must fulfill our obligations and responsibilities," Cheng Qian explained.
"Oh, everything is for the children." Qiao Silin raised an eyebrow: "Is it for the children, or are you simply reluctant to divorce? You know it better than anyone else."
"Dr. Qiao, I..." Cheng Qian's face flushed red with embarrassment. As long as she didn't divorce him, did that mean she was still deeply in love with him? What kind of logic was that?
"Okay, don't explain to me. I'm just your work partner." Qiao Silin raised his hand to interrupt her. "But it feels so damn bad to be cheated."
Cheng Qian didn't dare to say a word for a moment. Although she didn't mean to do it, she did... seem to be suspected of lying to him.
"I'm sorry." Cheng Qian apologized sincerely.
"I accept your apology." Qiao Silin turned his back to her. After a while, he seemed to calm himself down. "From the time I've worked with you, I can tell you're not a dishonest person."
"Thank you." Cheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao Silin turned his gaze and stared at her and said, "Cheng Qian, marriage is for happiness, not for self-sacrifice. I hope you understand what I mean."
Cheng Qian's pretty face turned pale. She pinched the reagent with her fingers, tightened them, and said in a voice as small as a mosquito: "I know."
Night is coming!
The Chu family's villa was passed down from the old man of the Chu family and has a very retro feel.
Today we invited five tables of relatives and friends to hold a low-key wedding banquet, which was also held to wash away the bad luck and illness from the past.
After a period of recuperation, Mr. Chu's health has recovered.
When Li Zhinan and Cheng Qian came over, Chu Huaijing stood at the door to greet them.
He quickly glanced at Cheng Qian, then greeted Li Zhinan with a smile: "Zhinan, you're here."
"Well, I'm glad that uncle is getting better." Li Zhinan said in a gentle voice.
Cheng Qian wore a very simple beige dress today, with her long hair tied behind her head. The only accessory on her body was a necklace, which made her look elegant and charming.
When passing by Chu Huaijing, Li Zhinan suddenly reached out and put his arms around Cheng Qian's slender waist very naturally.
In a voice that Chu Huaijing could hear clearly, he said, "You're here for good things. Don't drink tonight."
Cheng Qian's eyes froze. How did he know that she was having a good time?
When Chu Huaijing heard this, he looked at the couple who came in with a complicated look.
For a moment, a huge amount of information flooded his brain, and he was stunned for a long time.
Qiao Silin also came, and with him came Luo Sheng and Cheng Yan.
"Dr. Qiao, why are you alone? Where is Cheng Qian?" Cheng Yan walked over to him and asked with a smile.
Qiao Silin doesn't like Cheng Yan always saying things that are inexplicable and misleading.
He said calmly, "Ms. Cheng, Cheng Qian came here with her husband tonight. It's a bit strange that you asked."
Cheng Yan's face froze instantly. Was Cheng Qian really here?
Or come with Li Zhinan?
Luo Sheng immediately showed an expression of disbelief: "How is it possible? Why would Zhinan bring her here?"
