Ti passed by every second, and Kong Lizhi stood anxiously at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, hoping to see the person he was waiting for, who never showed up. An hour quickly went by, and if Ye Qiu didn’t arrive in the next half hour, the Civil Affairs Bureau would be closing.
Kong Lizhi, holding back fury, dialed Ye Qiu’s number, but was greeted with the "The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable" ssage, which instantly made him flush with anger.
Ever since they got married, it had always been him working outside and her taking care of the household. After Kong Lizhi’s career took off, he beca increasingly arrogant, insisting on having the final say in everything, big or small. Ye Qiu had fought back and argued before, but for the sake of their daughter’s ntal and physical health, she gradually stopped doing so and had not defied Kong Lizhi in a long ti.
In the past couple of days, Ye Qiu’s repeated maneuvers had increasingly exasperated Kong Lizhi, and at the sa ti doubts arose in his heart—could it be that Ye Qiu no longer wanted a divorce?
Kong Lizhi felt secretly pleased; after all, he was successful in his career and handso. Ye Qiu, that plain-faced woman, where would she find another man as good as him after the divorce!
But even if she knelt in front of him now begging not to divorce, it wouldn’t be up to her, because how could she possibly deserve him now?
anwhile, Liu Yan started calling again to ask if he had completed the divorce procedures. After pacifying his mistress, Kong Lizhi kept dialing Ye Qiu’s phone continuously, until the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau had already left, and he still could not get through.
"This bitch!" Kong Lizhi cursed with a livid face, then, under the strange looks of bystanders, he drove away.
"What’s wrong? Did that woman upset you again?" Seeing Kong Lizhi walk in with an unhappy face, Liu Yan quickly took his briefcase, helped him sit on the sofa, leaned gently on his shoulder, and comforted him.
"It’s okay, if she keeps not showing up, we can report her to the police, and we can hire a lawyer. She won’t be able to hide." Liu Yan consoled softly, and Kong Lizhi’s rage gradually subsided. This was where Liu Yan excelled, especially in mollifying n.
"Humph, she can hide for a day but not two. If she doesn’t show up tomorrow, I’ll call the police. She vanished with my daughter for half a month; I’ll see what she has to say then." Kong Lizhi snorted coldly, his mood lifted again as he gazed at Liu Yan’s beautiful face, "You’re much better. Once I’m divorced, I’ll marry you right away."
Liu Yan, seizing the mont, slid into Kong Lizhi’s arms, coquettishly wrapped her arms around his neck, and planted a fragrant kiss: "Honey, you’re the best."
"Where’s Wenjun? Why don’t I see him?" Kong Lizhi felt desire stirring but was still concerned about his son, asking breathlessly.
"He’s still sleeping." Liu Yan laughed softly, kissing Kong Lizhi’s lips again, and they beca uninhibitedly intimate without any reservations.
"Tsk, this scumbag and shaless pair, they don’t even have the sense to draw the curtains in broad daylight." Across from the apartnt, two n with big beards aid the cara at the amorous couple, joking and teasing each other sarcastically.
"Isn’t this to our advantage?" His companion chuckled, "Now we’ve got all the evidence we need."
"We’ve followed quite a few cheating n, but none as scummy as Kong Lizhi," said the slightly older man, ashad on behalf of his gender for Kong Lizhi’s behavior.
"Exactly, the start-up capital was even provided by his wife’s family, and yet he’s so ungrateful and disloyal," the companion said disdainfully, "He must be blind; his legitimate wife is clearly more attractive than the mistress!"
"You don’t understand, may I explain," the older man said in a voice of experience to his colleague, "It’s not about looks when a man cheats. Once he has the intention, his wife becos nothing more than a plain jane in his eyes. Besides, the mistress has also given birth to a son!"
Companions listen to these words speechless: "The Great Qing Dynasty has been gone for at least 180 years, and still this preference for sons over daughters! What, is there a throne to inherit or sothing?"
The man patted his companion on the shoulder: "Alright, don’t be so resentful. We get paid to work. In the future, when you get married, make sure not to repeat these n’s mistakes. Treat your wife well. Won can be just as ruthless as n when they want to. Once we hand over this stuff, it’s going to give this guy a hard ti."
"Brother Liu, I got it." The companion nodded with a look of having learned his lesson.
anwhile, Ye Qiu didn’t turn her phone back on until the next morning. Seeing the threatening texts from Kong Lizhi, she lazily replied to him: "My phone was stolen yesterday. See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau on Monday at 3 pm."
Similarly, Ye Qiu still wouldn’t go to the Civil Affairs Bureau today. She had already entrusted all her affairs to Lawyer Zhao. The subpoena that the court sent him these past few days should already have arrived by now.
"Yinyin, how about Mom takes you to the aquarium today? Would that be nice?" Ye Qiu dressed her daughter, lightly kissed her forehead, and imdiately received two sweet kisses back from her daughter.
"Okay, I want to see dolphins." Little Wen Yin said happily. After a while, she seed to rember sothing else and hesitantly said to Ye Qiu, "Mom, Yinyin hasn’t been to kindergarten for a long ti now, will I still go to school?"
Little Wen Yin, five years old this year, had always attended the kindergarten in their community. Recently, to avoid the Kong Family from finding her, she had not sent her daughter there, thinking that these days the child must have forgotten about it, but she rembered.
However, after the divorce, the ho where they lived would be sold, so naturally, Little Wen Yin wouldn’t continue studying there. Therefore, Ye Qiu told her daughter: "After Mom and Dad separate, how about Mom takes Yinyin to study at Grandpa and Grandma’s place?"
Little Wen Yin hadn’t seen her grandparents much, but she still rembered the fierce-looking grandfather and the kindly smiling grandmother from the videos. Mom said they were Grandpa and Grandma. Compared to Grandma, Grandma was much nicer, always smiling at her!
So Little Wen Yin, with her bright, shiny, big eyes akin to black grapes, said happily: "Yinyin is willing."
"Good, we’ll move there in two months."
"Mom, I want to go to the aquarium." Early in the morning, Kong Wenjun slamd down his bowl and made a fuss about going to the aquarium.
"It’s the weekend today, and that place will be crowded. Let’s just play at ho." It was sumr now, and the sun was blazing hot. The aquarium was a crowded and sweltering place, Liu Yan didn’t feel like going out.
"I don’t care, I want to go." Kong Wenjun also threw his cup to the floor and stubbornly lay down.
Liu Yan and Kong Lizhi were imdiately startled: "There’s glass on the floor; be careful, child."
Kong Wenjun, just four years old and usually spoiled by them, wouldn’t listen to a word they said. Knowing that every ti he acted this way the adults would eventually give in, seeing that the two adults had still not agreed to go out, Kong Wenjun started rolling on the floor.
The four-year-old had quite a bit of strength, and Kong Lizhi was afraid of hurting him. For a mont, he couldn’t control the situation, with glass shards and broken porcelain pieces all over the floor. What if the son gets hurt?
"Go, go, go, your mother will take you there in a bit." Kong Lizhi compromised.
