Su Mingxian felt a bit embarrassed as her daughter exposed her, and when she met Shen Chi's amused gaze, her face flushed red.
"Qian Qian, your father and I need to talk. Why don't you take your brother to play in the yard?"
Qian Qian was reluctant, but seeing her mother's serious expression, she reluctantly left her father's embrace.
However, she quickly leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Daddy, that Uncle Huang really wants to be my stepfather. You..."
"Qian Qian—"
Before she could finish, Su Mingxian interrupted her sternly. Qian Qian pouted and let out a small "oh" before running off to the yard.
Shen Chi also stood up, his gaze following his daughter's figure, but his voice was as cold as ice. "Is it because of that Huang guy that you won't come with me?"
Su Mingxian felt utterly defeated; she wished she could give Huangpu River a good beating for being so incompetent.
...
"Achoo! Who's thinking about me?"
Huangpu River rubbed his nose vigorously, while Xiu Cai glanced at him and said, "Thinking about you? More like wanting to hit you."
"Jiang Ge, what are you trying to say?" Xiu Cai looked puzzled. "Sister Xian's husband looks tough; just think how dangerous it was back then when you—"
“What’s the point? Of course, it’s about people,” Huangpu River said with a proud expression, then sighed, “Why doesn’t that guy with the surname Shen hit me? He should be hitting me! If I get hurt, Sister Xian will definitely stand up for me. They would misunderstand, and at that point, divorce would be inevitable. If Sister Xian gets divorced, with my looks, I won’t have a chance to rise up? Living off soft food is just too sweet.”
Huangpu River gestured animatedly, lost in his thoughts. Xiu Cai was left bewildered, “Rise up? Living off soft food? Isn’t that you—”
“Hey, you don’t understand. It’s how they portray it on TV. My biggest dream in life is to be a pretty boy. It’s rare to meet someone as beautiful, kind, virtuous, and promising as Sister Xian; of course, I have to put in more effort. But why doesn’t that guy with the surname Shen make a move? Is my talk not stimulating enough?” Huangpu River said, puzzled and frowning deeply. “It can’t be.”
Xiu Cai was stunned by his brother's words. Is becoming a pretty boy part of life goals too?
He couldn’t help but touch his own uneven face; indeed, this dream didn’t suit him.
Huangpu River was enjoying himself without realizing he was walking on the edge of disaster.
...
At this moment, Shen Chi turned his head expressionlessly, his gaze deep and cold. Su Mingxian knew that Shen Chi was angry.
The reason he hadn’t acted today was probably because he couldn’t be bothered. But if he insisted on going his own way, Huangpu River wouldn’t be able to bear Shen Chi’s wrath.
Su Mingxian couldn’t help but take a deep breath. “I can go with you, but I have one condition: divorce.”
Shen Chi slowly raised his eyes. His phoenix-like gaze seemed capable of captivating souls. His thin lips parted slightly, still cold and profound as he casually replied, “Fine, but I’m busy lately. It’s not safe here; let’s move to my place first.”
“You agreed?” Su Mingxian was astonished and then instantly broke into a bright smile. “Great! Then it’s settled. A gentleman's word is hard to retract; whoever regrets it is a little dog.”
Her anxious demeanor suggested she was afraid he might change his mind.
Shen Chi looked at her deeply for a moment, then took out a cigarette and placed it between his lips. "It's up to you."
The heavy burden in Su Mingxian's heart finally lifted, and she happily called for her daughter to follow her back to the attic to pack their things.
Meanwhile, Shen Chi leaned against the door frame, smoking alone, occasionally glancing up as if he could hear his little wife's cheerful singing.
"Are you really this happy about divorcing me?"
At this thought, Shen Chi's expression darkened once more.
