After Shen Chi left, Su Mingxian began to reflect on what had gone wrong.
When they had met before, everything had seemed so straightforward; why was he changing his mind now?
Although he was cold and distant, he always kept his word. A gentleman honors his promises, and in her past life, he had never let her down. That was why she had lowered her guard. But now—
Could it be that her words hadn’t been clear enough?
That couldn’t be right. What was the point of living a lifetime with a husband who didn’t love her?
The thought made her gasp in shock. “He can’t possibly think that by retreating, he’s somehow seeking affection, can he?”
Su Mingxian felt utterly disheartened. She wasn’t a child who would cry and throw a tantrum just to get a piece of candy.
Then she recalled his words about “trying.” Now she finally understood the root of the problem.
Su Mingxian clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could hit herself.
She had been describing a phenomenon, while his mindset was focused on finding a solution.
He was traditional and had a strong sense of responsibility. Even when they were like strangers in their past life, he hadn’t divorced her. Now that she had said what she did, could it be that he wanted to try to love her?
But who wanted his love anyway?
She just wanted a divorce.
...
The morning sun shone brightly, and the café had a pleasant atmosphere. Two exceptionally beautiful girls sat by the window.
Su Mingxian had just dropped her child off at kindergarten when Xi Shanshan invited her here.
Today, she was dressed casually in a slightly loose white T-shirt and soft, light blue jeans that dragged on the floor, yet they still showcased her long, slender legs.
Beneath her softly curled short hair was a doll-like face, not overly pale, with almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed. She lazily held a coffee cup, patiently listening to Xi Shanshan express her grievances across the table.
"Sister Xian, what should I do? Boohoo..." Xi Shanshan clutched one of her hands, looking pitiful. "I absolutely don’t want to marry Fang Dahai. Do you think my dad has lost his mind?"
Su Mingxian looked at her calmly. "Your dad is such a smart man; he must have his reasons."
There were plenty of matters in high society; what could she, an outsider, say?
"What reasons? Hmph! Without Fang Dahai, I can still secure that piece of land by the end of the year." Xi Shanshan pouted and then sweetly tugged at Su Mingxian's arm. "Sister Xian, think of something! I don’t want to lose; I don’t want to marry Fang Dahai."
"Then who do you want to marry? Huangpu River?" Su Mingxian withdrew her hand and picked up a small spoon to stir her coffee, looking at her. "Your dad probably wouldn’t agree."
Xi Shanshan's heart was pierced by the truth, and her face flushed red. Just then, an unexpected voice interrupted their conversation.
"Hey? Isn't this the young lady of the the Xi Family? Aren't you supposed to be out selling houses today? How come you have time to sit here and drink coffee?"
A woman with big, wavy hair, exquisite makeup, and a particularly fashionable outfit sauntered over to them.
"Mind your own business about whether I'm selling houses or not; this isn't your family's place, so why do you care where I am?" Xi Shanshan turned and shot her a glare. "What a nuisance. Sister Xian, let's go."
With that, she stood up directly, but the woman blocked her path, smiling sweetly as she said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. It's rare for us to run into each other; it must be fate. Besides, even if you sell a lot of houses—"
She paused, playing with her fingers and wearing a mocking expression. "You still couldn't afford that piece of land, could you? My dear cousin?"
Hahaha—
The two female companions who had come with her laughed along.
