Take me away!
Happiness came too suddenly.
The male lead finally wants to divorce!
But how did he come to this decision?
Could it be that Yi Wanyue helped say something?
Considering the male lead only listens to the female lead, it doesn’t seem impossible?
Qiu Baiyu pondered for a moment, picked up the phone, found the new friend she added last night, and opened the chat box.
Her fingers hovered over the screen, then withdrew.
No, I can’t ask.
Jiang Shen hasn’t personally mentioned divorce today, but she already knows in advance. Wouldn’t that seem like she anticipated it in others’ eyes?
Although they have become friends, this secret cannot be told to Yi Wanyue for now.
Qiu Baiyu thought, and then put the phone down again.
Forget it, no matter how Jiang Shen figured it out, as long as they can immediately divorce, it’s a good thing.
This system’s function can be considered to have a bit of pleasing use!
Thinking of divorce, Qiu Baiyu’s sleepiness was happily washed away, so she simply got up to brush her teeth, wash her face, change clothes, and leave the room to eat breakfast.
At this time, Jiang Shen and Jiang Zimin were already sitting in the dining room having breakfast.
“Auntie, good morning~”
Jiang Zimin, upon seeing her, automatically switched to a sweet child.
“Good morning.”
Qiu Baiyu said this with a smile.
Jiang Zimin saw the smile on her face: “Auntie looks very happy~”
Qiu Baiyu nodded: “Mm, Auntie got up and saw the weather is very nice, so she’s very happy. It feels like maybe some good things will happen today.”
Jiang Shen glanced at her, gently put down the fork in his hand, and quite elegantly wiped his mouth: “Indeed, there are good things about to happen.”
He stood up: “Come with me to the study.”
It’s happening.
She had never been so eager to enter the study.
Qiu Baiyu very compliantly and smoothly turned and followed his steps.
Jiang Zimin looked at Auntie’s untouched breakfast that belonged to Qiu Baiyu and couldn’t help but remind: “Dad, Auntie hasn’t eaten breakfast. Not eating breakfast is not good for the body!”
Jiang Shen, without turning his head, left a sentence: “She will be back soon, it won’t take long.”
Jiang Zimin slowly blinked her eyes, watching as Qiu Baiyu followed Jiang Shen up the stairs and disappeared from her sight again.
She suddenly recalled Jiang Shen’s expression every time he called Qiu Baiyu to the study before.
The fork in her hand was put down, she jumped off the chair, and also followed, running upstairs.
Jiang Shen and Qiu Baiyu entered the study one after the other, with the door tightly closed.
Qiu Baiyu, fearing Jiang Shen would talk about irrelevant things, directly led him to the point: “What does President Jiang mean by good things?”
Jiang Shen turned to look at her, walked to the window to open it, looked up at the azure sky, and left her with a deliberately aloof back view.
“Haven’t you always wanted a divorce? Today I will fulfill you—we divorce.”
Because he is married, Yi Wanyue keeps a distance from him.
Because he is married, when he wants to invite Yi Wanyue out alone, she would request that his wife also be present.
Then what necessity is there for this marriage to continue?
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
He thought about it yesterday, divorcing Qiu Baiyu is the best solution to these issues.
Restore being single, regain freedom, and freely date the person he likes.
It’s fitting, hasn’t Qiu Baiyu always wanted to divorce him? Then he will give her this opportunity, fulfill her wish one more time, and repay her grandmother one last time.
But this woman once so crazily loved him, finally married him but now has to lose him, afraid she might secretly be sad behind the scenes, maybe already started to regret it by now.
Unfortunately, regret is useless.
What he decides, no one can change.
Jiang Shen turned to face Qiu Baiyu, and while turning, said: “Qiu Baiyu, I hope you won’t secretly shed tears after going back—”
“When do we leave?”
Qiu Baiyu’s words directly interrupted his spell.
Jiang Shen: “…”
Qiu Baiyu: “No time like the present, let’s go to the civil affairs bureau today.”
Jiang Shen: “…Today is the weekend, the civil affairs bureau is not open.”
Qiu Baiyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: “It’s all your fault.”
Jiang Shen: “Blame me for what?”
Qiu Baiyu: “Yesterday was Friday. If you had figured it out yesterday, we could have immediately gone to the civil affairs bureau to divorce.”
Jiang Shen: “???”
Inexplicable, truly inexplicable!
“Qiu Baiyu, how did you become like this!”
Jiang Shen finally couldn’t hold back.
She wasn’t like this at all before; now it’s like she’s changed into another person, leaving him at a loss!
“Is it hard to understand?” Qiu Baiyu looked at him with extreme calmness, “I just don’t love you anymore, not interested in you anymore, even looking at you twice feels annoying.”
When a person loves someone and when they don’t love someone, they look very different.
Jiang Shen is very lucky; he saw both Qiu Baiyu loving him and not loving him.
“You don’t think you’re a heartthrob, do you?” Qiu Baiyu asked.
Jiang Shen: “…Get out!”
Qiu Baiyu: “Oh.”
She turned and left.
Before leaving, she didn’t forget to remind once more: “Don’t forget to adjust your schedule for divorce on Monday.”
Jiang Shen watched her leave without a trace of reluctance, and now he was truly certain: she really doesn’t love him anymore.
Qiu Baiyu walked out of the study, feeling physically and mentally joyful for the first time after coming out from there.
Divorce is good, divorce is really good.
She was originally single, and having an extra husband for no reason was simply torture. It’s better to divorce early to avoid long, drawn-out dreams.
As a result, she turned around and saw Jiang Zimin sitting by the wall.
Her little face was serious, with a hidden trace of worry between her brows, no longer as relaxed and happy as when seen downstairs.
A child’s concerns are easiest to guess because they are all written on their face.
Seeing this, Qiu Baiyu squatted down and directly asked: “Did you hear everything?”
Jiang Zimin slowly raised her head to look at her, pursed her lips, and after a long while, finally said: “You and Dad are going to divorce.”
It was as if she used all her strength to say this sentence.
The amount of information a first-grade child receives is large, and regarding the matter of parents divorcing, they have already developed a certain understanding.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Simply put: it’s a bad thing.
No child would hope for their mom and dad to divorce.
From her reaction, Qiu Baiyu could also guess her inner resistance to this matter.
She may not necessarily need this dad, but she needs this home. Her young understanding makes her rely on the current structure of this home.
But… Qiu Baiyu will not compromise because of this.
“Yes, I am going to divorce him.”
She is also an independent individual, and her feelings are equally important. She cannot wrong herself for anyone.
This was never supposed to be her fate.
Jiang Zimin will have to face this matter someday, whether the pain is early or late, it’s the same.
Jiang Zimin asked: “Why?”
Qiu Baiyu said: “Because I don’t love him, and he doesn’t love me.”
Jiang Zimin frowned, eyes full of confusion.
Qiu Baiyu reached out and gently stroked her face: “Xiaomin, we cannot force ourselves to be with someone we don’t love; that would be very painful.”
Afraid she wouldn’t understand, Qiu Baiyu gave her an analogy: “If someone forced you to play with Liu Jianhui who bullies you, would you be happy?”
Jiang Zimin immediately shook her head: “No…”
Qiu Baiyu patted her drooping little head: “Dad is like ‘Liu Jianhui’ to me, and I am to Dad, so you can understand why Aunt must divorce, right?”
Jiang Zimin lightly nodded her head.
Then she didn’t move anymore.
She sat there hugging herself, like a little stray cat that had been abandoned, exuding pity.
After a while, she finally raised her head and asked: “Then if you divorce, can I only be with one person?”
Qiu Baiyu thought for a moment, then said: “You can see him, and you can see me, but it will not be like now, with Dad and me in one home.”
Jiang Zimin was silent for a few seconds, suddenly stood up, and ran back to her room.
Qiu Baiyu stood up, just about to follow her, when she saw her run out again.
She was holding her piggy bank.
Jiang Zimin’s piggy bank was heavy, and when shaken, you could hear the coins hitting the inner wall.
She lowered her head, unlocked the password on the piggy bank, and opened the box.
Inside lay many coins, and some small bills, even fifty and one hundred.
She suddenly held these monies along with the piggy bank in front of Qiu Baiyu.
“Auntie, all this money is for you, also the money in the bank card, all for you, please take me away!”
She was afraid of being left behind; she knew Auntie liked money, so she was willing to give all her money to her, as long as she was willing to take her away.
She wanted to always stay by Auntie’s side, wherever Auntie went, she would follow.
Qiu Baiyu looked at this full box of money, her eyes instantly became soft.
She gently closed the piggy bank, put the lock back tightly, and then returned it to Jiang Zimin.
“No need to give me money, because Auntie was going to take you with her anyway.”
“I promised to always be your friend, like family, friends who won’t abandon each other.”
Hearing this, the gloom in Jiang Zimin’s eyes immediately disappeared, replaced by a bright and cheerful smile.
She happily hugged Qiu Baiyu’s waist.
They are family, family who will never abandon each other!
Qiu Baiyu could clearly sense her happiness at this moment, just like when she was protected by her grandma, when her grandma tightly held her hand, she was equally happy.
In this world, there is someone who has always stood firmly behind them.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
“Let’s now go tell Dad.”
Qiu Baiyu held Jiang Zimin’s hand.
Jiang Zimin nodded, holding the piggy bank, and went with her to knock on the study door.
Jiang Shen looked at the returning person, then looked at the additional child beside her, his expression very indifferent: “What do you want again?”
Qiu Baiyu got straight to the point: “Just one thing, I want Xiaomin’s custody.”
Jiang Shen has never cared about this child, because she is not the love crystal of him and Yi Wanyue, so Qiu Baiyu thinks that giving her custody should not be difficult.
Since it’s a child not acknowledged or liked, why keep her by the side?
She is willing to take Jiang Zimin away, Jiang Shen should decisively let go, so everyone will be fine.
After she finished speaking, Jiang Shen’s gaze slowly fell on Jiang Zimin.
The young child was wearing light blue short-sleeved pajamas, hair loose, with a white hairband on her head, face youthful, eyes bright, holding something in her arms that looked like an ATM toy box.
This is his child, his daughter.
“No,” he suddenly said, “She must stay.”
Qiu Baiyu: “?”
LP: Hey, hey, Pig Shen, don’t make things difficult!
