Shen Chi paused in his action of kissing her neck. Wasn't leaving him a room today a signal of invitation? What was he playing at?
Taking advantage of the moment, Su Mingxian managed to escape his grasp.
At that moment, her hair was slightly disheveled, her face flushed, and she was breathing heavily. Her clear and bright eyes were filled with wariness as she leaned against the wall for support and asked, "Are you saying your words don’t count?"
The desire in Shen Chi's eyes gradually faded as he looked at her in confusion. "Why do you want a divorce? Aren't we fine like this?"
"I've told you before, I don't want to spend my life with someone who doesn't love me. This marriage was a mistake from the start. I'm tired, Shen Chi. Let's get a divorce."
Tears welled up in Su Mingxian's eyes. She had tried so hard; she really had. But—
"Shen Chi, I'm serious about the divorce." She quickly wiped away her tears and continued with a stern face, "When it’s time to change the household registration, we’ll just go through with it."
Shen Chi stepped closer, placing a hand on the wall to block her path. He looked down at her as she found herself with nowhere to retreat. His face drew nearer, and she could even feel his breath. Just as their noses were about to touch, she suddenly heard his low and hoarse voice say, "Let’s give it a try."
...
What did "let's give it a try" even mean?
That night, Su Mingxian slept extremely uneasily, her mind filled with Shen Chi's deep-set eyes and his inexplicable words.
What does it mean to "try"?
Who wants to try with him?
Su Mingxian wore a gloomy expression, thinking that she would clarify things with him first thing in the morning. However, when she got up, she found that he had already left.
Qian Qian looked a bit unhappy. "Mommy, where did Daddy go again?"
"Daddy is busy, sweetheart. You can't always cling to him," she said while helping her comb her hair. Qian Qian responded with a soft "oh," clearly not in the best mood.
Seeing this, Su Mingxian gently touched her little face. "Hmm, do you want a stuffed toy?"
"I do! Zhang Lili has a stuffed toy, but she won't let me play with it." The little one looked at her with hopeful eyes. Su Mingxian smiled and said, "Then how about Mommy buys you a set?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I want to play with Wang Xinrui." Su Mingxian playfully pinched her little nose and replied, "Alright, as long as you're happy. But first, we need to visit the new house."
...
"Is it you?" Qin Dongming exclaimed in surprise, then smiled and asked, "Do you live here too?"
Su Mingxian was equally surprised. Looking at the well-dressed man in a tailored suit with gold-rimmed glasses, she thought for a moment before recalling, "You were the one who bumped into me that day?"
"Sorry about that. I was in such a rush. How are you feeling now? If you're not well anywhere, I can take you to see a doctor," Qin Dongming said sincerely.
"I'm doing well, nothing feels off," Su Mingxian said with a smile, shaking his head. "Do you live here too? Then we'll be neighbors, so there's no need to be so polite."
"That won't do. How about this: to express my apologies, I'll treat you to lunch today," Qin Dongming said with an inviting smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Qian immediately chimed in, "No way! Mom promised to take me to buy a plush doll."
"Mom?" Qin Dongming was taken aback. "She's your daughter?"
Su Mingxian smiled and gently patted Qian Qian's head. "Yes, Qian Qian, say hello to Uncle."
"Hello, Uncle," the little one said, her big curious eyes studying him intently.
Qin Dongming chuckled and shook his head. "I really didn't expect you to be so young, and your daughter is already this big. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Qin, Qin Dongming."
Su Mingxian paused for a moment. The surname Qin?
