Chapter 142 - Swear
Various reasons flashed through my mind, but each one seemed a bit far-fetched. Finally, Shi Feiye came up with the one that seemed the most reasonable:
"You're about to get married, aren't you? Get a divorce now so you don't have to wait to find a partner. Also, getting a divorce now prevents me from getting blinded by money and having other thoughts. People change, and the best thing to do is not to challenge human nature. This way, there won't be any property disputes after the divorce."
Qin Buzhu knocked on the table less frequently, and his frown relaxed.
"If I were rich and powerful, even if I divorced you later, it wouldn't stop me from finding another partner, so this argument doesn't hold true. As for your claim that you'd become greedy, that contradicts what you said before. And if that time ever came, I wouldn't mind giving you that little bit of money, so this argument doesn't hold true either."
Master Feiye: “…”
"So, what is the real reason?"
Feeling extremely exhausted, Shi Feiye could only casually say, "Well, I just think it's not a good idea for us to continue like this. Since we are destined to return to our own paths sooner or later, why bother dragging it out for so long? It would be better to divorce sooner and live a normal life sooner, right?"
"So, I have to bear the reputation of abandoning my first wife who has been with me through thick and thin?"
Shi Feiye was startled: "Ah?"
"While business primarily depends on financial resources, ability, and potential, reputation is also important to some extent. If we were to divorce now and I made a comeback soon, then in the eyes of outsiders, I would be seen as someone who dragged my wife through hard times and abandoned her when she was about to become rich. If you were a businessman, would you partner with such a person?"
"But aren't there a lot of people who have mistresses? Aren't their businesses doing just as well?"
"How many businessmen have you seen who treat their wives harshly and try to kick them out of the house when they have a mistress? Of course, I'm talking about real businessmen, not nouveau riche." Qin Buzhu said in a cold tone:
"Or, how many successful businessmen have you seen who have mean wives but can still keep their businesses going for a long time?"
Well……
"But..." Shi Feiye's face wrinkled together. How could she have thought of these questions? "I haven't come into contact with any businessmen, so I don't really understand this. So according to what you mean, we can't divorce now?"
"You've always been very protective of me. So, if I divorce you now, I'll be seen as ungrateful by others." Qin Buzhu leaned forward slightly, his tone a bit cold, "I haven't done anything to let you down, have I?"
"Of course not." Shi Feiye didn't even think about it.
"Then why do you make such a request at such a critical moment?" Qin Buliu's tone became even colder.
"I didn't mean it. I didn't think too much about it. You also know that I don't understand your business." Shi Feiye felt that she had stepped into the pit she had dug. The world can bear witness that she definitely had no intention of tricking Boss Qin.
Raising his right hand with three fingers pointing to the sky, Shi Feiye said righteously: "I swear to heaven, I absolutely have no intention of deceiving you. I just didn't think so much. If I really wanted to deceive you, then I will make sure that none of my novels can be sold."
