Chapter 6:  Except for Talking About Divorce, You Don’t Need to Come Over for Anything Else

Su Qingtan assumed Li Su was there to divorce her. Without waiting for him to speak, she raised her hand to check her watch and said, “Wait a minute, I’ll put my things away and go with you.”

Li Su looked puzzled, “Go where?”

Su Qingtan opened the door and said, “To the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.”

After talking to Su Qingtan two days ago, Li Su only thought she was making a fuss with him because of Ye Xi. But now, he was unsure.

Because Su Qingtan’s attitude was different from when she was making a fuss in the past, there was a firmness he hadn’t seen before.

Li Su remained silent for a while, and when Su Qingtan opened the door and stepped into the house, he said, “I’m not here to take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau today.”

Su Qingtan turned around and asked, “Then what are you here for?”

The person who used to be excited and expectant about his arrival, with a flattering tone, suddenly became dismissive and rejecting. Li Su choked for a while before saying, “I have something to talk to you about.”

Su Qingtan nodded and let Li Su follow her in.

After entering, Su Qingtan put down her things and poured herself a glass of water. As usual, she didn’t pour any for Li Su. Holding the water, she pointed to the sofa and said, “Sit down.”

After Li Su sat down, he glanced at her calm face and said, “Pour me a cup of tea too.”

He must be thirsty, otherwise he wouldn’t ask her for tea.

Su Qingtan silently muttered to herself, went to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of Oriental Tree Leaf oolong tea and handed it to him.

Li Su looked at the bottle of tea and didn’t take it, “Pour me a cup of warm water.”

Now it was Su Qingtan’s turn to be surprised. She thought to herself, Li Su never eats or drinks here, what’s going on today?

Su Qingtan was surprised for ten seconds, the only thing she could think of was that Li Su was looking for trouble with her because of Ye Xi, who was still in the hospital.

This morning, before she went home to get her household registration booklet, she went to the police station.

Ye Xi had filed a report, and because she was the one who sent Ye Xi to the hospital, the police asked her to cooperate with the investigation.

Anyway, there was no surveillance there, Su Qingtan insisted that she didn’t see anyone, she only saw Ye Xi fainted there.

The final result of this matter was, of course, a dead end. The police couldn’t do anything, but Li Su loved Ye Xi so much, if he wanted to retaliate against her—

He drank her water, pretending to have diarrhea or something—

“There’s no warm water, you can order takeout.” Su Qingtan refused Li Su.

Li Su choked again. He stared at Su Qingtan for a while, confirming that she was indeed different from before.

But how could she suddenly change so much?

Just last Monday, she was still that cautious, flattering person.

Li Su, with a mind full of questions, took the oolong tea and took a sip, “I came to find you, I want to tell you, wait until you give birth to the child before getting a divorce.”

“You mean, I have to give you the child?”

Su Qingtan’s voice instantly became devoid of warmth.

Li Su noticed that her eyes also instantly became incredibly cold, filled with hostility and aggression.

Li Su was about to speak when he heard her voice, devoid of warmth, “Li Su, this marriage was my mistake, a complete mistake.”

“I apologize to you. In terms of compensation, within a reasonable range, you make a request, and I will try my best to satisfy it.”

“But the child, don’t even think about it.”

“It’s not—”

Li Su had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Su Qingtan again, “I would rather have an abortion than give it to you!”

The ruthlessness and determination in her tone made Li Su’s heart tremble.

The room fell silent for a moment, neither of them had any intention of speaking.

After a while, it was Su Qingtan’s pregnancy reaction that broke the silence.

Su Qingtan rushed to the bathroom. Li Su listened to her vomiting, frowned, opened the lid of the bottle, and took another big gulp of tea.

The cool tea entered his mouth, calming his trembling heart and clearing his mind.

He got up and walked to the bathroom door. After the vomiting stopped, he knocked on the door, “Su Qingtan, you should go to the hospital. Vomiting like this all the time is not good for your health.”

This person’s habit of being gentle to everyone can’t be changed.

Su Qingtan muttered to herself, she got up, washed up, and then went out and said to Li Su, “Whether I go to the hospital or not, I’ll decide for myself.”

“Although I don’t know why you’re suddenly so averse to me,” Li Su looked at her and said, “But because of the child, I hope we both think carefully about the divorce.”

Su Qingtan said, “Divorce is my carefully considered decision.”

Li Su still said in a good-natured way, “Su Qingtan, think about it again, you don’t have a job—”

“I’ll find a job.” Su Qingtan interrupted Li Su, “Don’t worry, my job, all my subsequent matters, will never be involved with you in any way.”

“The child too, after the divorce, I will never let our existence affect your future love life in any way.”

“Su Qingtan!” Li Su got angry, but after shouting her name, he quickly suppressed his temper, “That’s not what I meant—”

Su Qingtan didn’t have any intention of listening to him, she didn’t listen to what Li Su said, she just kept talking, “Except for the fact that I can’t change the fact that you’re a divorced person, I will absolutely keep my word about everything else.”

“Su Qingtan, can you listen to people talk?” Li Su sighed helplessly.

Su Qingtan didn’t care about him, she pointed to the door and said, “We have nothing else to talk about except divorce. That’s it, except for talking about divorce, you don’t need to come over for anything else.”

Li Su stood there without moving, and after a while, he said, “Su Qingtan, then let’s talk about divorce. How are you going to explain to both sets of parents?”

“This isn’t like buying something at a store, if you don’t like it, you can return it.”

“It’s not that complicated. Both sets of parents don’t know I’m pregnant, and I don’t plan to tell them. If you don’t want to get into trouble, don’t say anything. As for the divorce, we’ll tell them after we’re divorced.” Su Qingtan took another sip of water from her cup, her tone calm, as if she was really buying something at the supermarket and wanted to return it, “If you can’t say it, I’ll say it then. I’ll say it to both sides.”

This conversation reminded Li Su of Su Qingtan’s attitude when she forced him to marry her.

It also made him realize that Su Qingtan was serious.

Li Su looked at her for a while, frowning, “I don’t know why you suddenly want to get a divorce so resolutely. If it’s because of me and Xiaoxi, then I apologize to you—”

“You’re saying it backwards, I should apologize to you.” Su Qingtan interrupted Li Su again, with a sincere expression, “If I hadn’t interfered, you wouldn’t have been a divorced man when you married Ye Xi.”

“But don’t worry, I will never be a stumbling block on your path to love again, starting today.”

“I also sincerely wish you a smooth relationship, that you can enter the marriage hall soon, grow old together, and live happily ever after.”

Su Qingtan said, walked to the door, opened it, and looked at Li Su, adding, “That’s it, in the next couple of days, let’s get the divorce done as soon as possible, I’ll wait for your notice.”

Li Su stood there in a daze, and as soon as he went out, Su Qingtan closed the door.

The sound of the door closing brought Li Su back to his senses. He stood at the door for two minutes, then slowly went downstairs and left.

After leaving Su Qingtan’s house, Li Su bought some delicious food and went to Ye Xi’s place.
