Chapter 114
Tang Bai had not expected things to develop to this point. He held the base made of yam paste in his hands with a confused look on his face, watching Gu Mian and Li Songyun arguing.
The pheromones of the strange alpha made Tang Bai feel uncomfortable. His skin ached slightly, and the gland that was bitten by Xie Ruheng swelled up instantly.
Gu Mian's rank was very high. Even though Tang Bai was more than ten meters away from Gu Mian, the terrifying sense of oppression still made his scalp numb. Tang Bai couldn't imagine what it was like for Li Songyun to face Gu Mian at close range.
Then he saw Li Songyun calmly push Gu Mian away and turn around and walk towards him as if nothing had happened.
Tang Bai: “!!!”
Tang Bai was surprised and delighted. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Uncle Li, your hand is bleeding!"
Li Songyun calmly found the medical kit that had just been bought for the new home, bandaged himself, and said to Tang Bai: "It's okay, we will continue to make peony fish fillets. Fortunately, we only need to fry the fish fillets and serve them on the plate."
Tang Bai: “?!”
[Teacher Li, stop it! Let’s chat! 】
【Teacher Li, your live broadcast room is booming! 】
【Hot search 19】
【Fuck, it’s already 13 in one hot search! 】
Tang Bai felt a headache, so he logged into StarNet and took a look. It was the eighth most searched topic, and the public opinion was exploding.
Gu Mian was once the male god of the Federation and the dream lover of countless omegas. Li Songyun marrying Gu Mian was a dream fairy tale, Cinderella married the prince, and they lived happily together.
But the reason why fairy tales are fairy tales is that they do not show the mess behind the glamorous marriage life.
A model couple that everyone envied got divorced, and the divorce drama was staged in a very popular live broadcast room. Naturally, the crowd was curious about the reason.
Some people found out that Jiao Jian is Lu En in the game, some guessed that Jiao Jian has a crush on Li Songyun, and some said that Li Songyun just moved out of Gu's house with a moving company today...
Not only were people discussing whether Gu Mian and Li Songyun's divorce was due to Jiao Jian's interference, they were also paying attention to the fact that Li Songyun was not affected by Gu Mian's pheromones. Tang Bai was also very curious about this, but the focus now was to get Li Songyun to make a clarification.
Tang Bai was as anxious as an octopus ball on a hot pot. He was at a loss as to what to do with the current situation. They had originally planned to do a food live broadcast, but now the rhythm was completely messed up. What was worse was that Jiao Jian also appeared in the live broadcast. The society was originally more harsh on omegas in marriage, and after seeing Jiao Jian, rumors that Li Songyun had cheated were flying all over the place.
Jiao Jian could no longer sit still and wanted to refute the barrage of comments that slandered Li Songyun. However, Li Songyun was the calmest person in the audience.
He was concentrating on making the peony fish fillet.
First, pour a proper amount of oil into the pan. Then Li Songyun uses chopsticks to pick up the fish fillets coated with flour and fry them one by one into the pan. She uses chopsticks to hold the fish fillets and bends them into the shape of petals. She takes them out when they are 80% cooked.
The boiling bubbles in the oil pan made popping sounds, and sharp questions were raised one after another in the live broadcast room.
——"Are you cheating on your spouse?"
——"Why do you want to divorce Gu Mian? Did Gu Mian do something to let you down?"
——"It's impossible for a normal person to file for divorce, find a new house and move in one day. Could it be that you have been planning this for a long time?"
——"Your youngest child with Major General Gu is only six years old. Don't you consider the child's feelings when you get a divorce?"
Grill the fish fillets in hot oil and fry the snow-white fish fillets until golden brown. The questions are like a chain of artillery shells, not giving Li Songyun any time to breathe, bombarding her one after another and madly swiping the screen.
——"Why don't you answer the question? Are you feeling guilty?!"
——"Major General Gu fought on the battlefield and sacrificed his life. If you, an omega enjoying your life at home, dare to do something that is not worthy of Major General Gu, we can drown you with just a mouthful of spit!"
Li Songyun took a deep breath. He was using such repetitive movements to calm his body that was controlled by pheromones. Only in this way could he avoid rushing out and submitting to the alpha outside the door.
He was grateful to Gu Mian for asking him to be "independent and self-reliant" for so many years, which allowed him to go against his instinct and leave Gu Mian at the critical moment.
"I got divorced because of twenty-six years of cold violence and widow-like parenting." Li Songyun raised his eyes. His voice was very cold, like a cold scalpel, cutting open his scars bloodily.
"Cold violence is not being beaten, but being treated coldly, belittled, and denied. Whether it is my taste, my words and deeds, or anything else, my customers will find fault with it. This made me doubt my own value for a long time. I know that I am a househusband, although there has never been a profession called househusband."
"If you do well in any job, you will receive praise from your boss and colleagues, but not if you do housework."
"Even Mrs. Gu wouldn't do that."
"My self-confidence was destroyed time and time again, and Li Songyun was also reshaped through repeated blows. He finally became the perfect Mrs. Gu." Li Songyun showed a standard smile, and even the curvature of his mouth corners had been strictly calculated.
He smiled and said: "So he was finally praised for being independent, self-reliant, hardworking, elegant, tolerant, considerate..."
Tang Bai inexplicably felt a chill. He stared at Li Songyun blankly, unable to imagine what this seemingly perfect and elegant omega had been through.
"She had to bear four children, endure the absence of her husband during pregnancy, endure the absence of her husband during the child-rearing stage, and endure the absence of her husband during all stages of the children's growth."
"Her husband is a busy military officer, and she is required to be independent, respect her elders, and educate her children. She also has to overcome the influence of high-matching pheromones and leave her husband plenty of private space."
"He seemed to be wearing one mask after another. There were so many masks that he felt suffocated. He turned to the outside world for help, to Gu Mian and to the Li family."
"But the outside world told him to be tolerant, to be grateful, to be strong... they put new masks on him one after another."
"He gradually stopped expecting beneficiaries, and when he was about to give up resistance and communication, he received the first support in his life."
"From his children."
Li Songyun's eyes softened. "His children said they hope he can live the life he wants."
What kind of life did he want?
She stayed at the Etiquette College as a culinary teacher, teaching students how to make delicious desserts.
Li Songyun lowered her eyes to look at the unfinished peony fish fillet. The carrots were cut into thin strips as the stamens, and the golden fish fillet was inserted on the base made of yam paste.
Arranging the fish fillets into the shape of peony flowers requires a lot of aesthetic taste and patience. The fish fillets need to be inserted one by one around the carrots, and the position and angle of each fillet must be carefully adjusted.
He enjoyed the time-consuming and labor-intensive process of making delicious food. He did not pursue material things and did not want to become a noble lady. However, his mother said that his younger brother had great ambitions and that his father's business could grow bigger with connections. She also said that he was lucky and his pheromones were highly compatible with Gu Mian. She said that he was the lucky star of the Li family and the future of the Li family depended on him.
"She had been Mrs. Gu for so long that she had forgotten what she wanted. That's when she saw Tang Bai's live broadcast."
Tang Bai stared at Li Songyun in a daze.
"The child radiates heat and light like a little sun, and he lights me up just like that."
Li Songyun laughed. He gently touched Tang Bai's head with his bandaged hand. "I finally understand that it is too difficult to wait for others to understand me. I can only rely on myself to escape from my current situation. Only if I educate my children well can they learn to respect and love omegas. Only if I master my own power and career can my voice be heard by more people."
"My current dream is that all omegas can live the life they want."
"So I started this live broadcast. If no one speaks out and no one makes changes, then the fate of most omegas in the world will repeat what I did, or even be worse than mine. I hope that all omegas will not be tied down by marriage and family. You know, our value is far more than that."
When Li Songyun opened the door of his new home and prepared to welcome Jiang Youwen, he was somewhat surprised to find Gu Mian still standing at his door.
Gu Mian's expression did not change. He took out a black velvet box from his pocket and said, "This is the diamond ring you didn't take with you."
"Gu Mian, I told you, I won't take away any valuable jewelry, they belong to Madam Gu--" Li Songyun was interrupted by Gu Mian just as he was speaking.
"Take it away, and I will sign the divorce agreement." Gu Mian opened the box, and the gorgeous diamond ring shone faintly in the dark night.
The first time Li Songyun saw this ring was at his engagement party with Gu Mian. Gu Mian held his hand, carefully put the ring on him, and said to him, Li Songyun, please marry me.
"Are you serious?" Li Songyun couldn't believe it.
Gu nodded reluctantly.
Li Songyun immediately tried to take the box from Gu Mian's hand, but Gu Mian held the box tightly and could not take it away for a while. When Li Songyun thought that Gu Mian was going to go back on his word, Gu Mian spoke, "You are a good wife, a good father, and a good daughter-in-law. Thank you for your dedication to the Gu family over the years."
"sorry."
He said, "I'm sorry to have made you Mrs. Gu for so many years."
Gu Mian loosened his clenched hands, and the two pulling forces lost balance. In the moment when Li Songyun had no time to react, the dazzling diamond ring rolled out of the box and fell to the ground.
Li Songyun bent down to pick up the diamond ring.
The night wind was a little cold, Gu Mian turned around and walked out silently. He saw Tang's father and mother, Gu Tunan, Gu Peifeng and many omegas he was not familiar with rushing to their new home.
Those people surrounded Li Songyun. They walked into the warm and bright new home in a noisy and enthusiastic manner. Some said they wanted to go shopping with Li Songyun tomorrow, and some asked Li Songyun if he wanted to go out for a trip. The voices became farther and farther away, and were finally completely blocked by the door.
Gu Mian stood in the darkness, and Li Songyun never turned back to look at him from beginning to end.
This was the last time that Li Songyun met him as Mrs. Gu, his legal wife.
Gu Mian returned to his empty and deserted home. He opened the closet and found that Li Songyun had not left him even a piece of clothing to build a nest.
After sitting alone on the cold and hard chair for a long time, Gu Mian took out the divorce agreement and signed his name on it.
I'm divorced! Where is the little angel who gave me nutritional fluids when I first heard about divorce? (My eyes sparkled) There should be a side story from Gu Mian's perspective after the main story is finished. I'll tell you about the progress of this book, because I decided to do liver protection three times a day in October. If there are no major changes to the outline, it should be finished in early November~
