This night didn't end hastily like the last time. Zuo Qinghuan kept entangling with Qin Wanshu without being satisfied, asking for Qin Wanshu many times. Abiding by the principle of reciprocity, Zuo Qinghuan also received many times as desired. After several times, Qin Wanshu couldn't bear it anymore, but Zuo Qinghuan was still full of energy. Being young is the capital of indulgence, Qin Wanshu thought to herself.
"Tired?" Zuo Qinghuan's fingers gently slid over Qin Wanshu's well-proportioned figure that would make people jealous.
“Mm." Qin Wanshu nodded. She felt her body soft and powerless, unable to exert any strength, even more tired than after a few hours of exercising. Indeed, sexual activities require a lot of physical stamina.
"Then sleep." Zuo Qinghuan said tenderly. Although she was still somewhat unsatisfied, considering that Qin Wanshu's body had just been explored recently, it probably couldn't withstand such a high frequency of intimate activities. Zuo Qinghuan thought to slowly train Qin Wanshu's body in the future.
"What about you?" Qin Wanshu asked. Zuo Qinghuan seemed to still want to continue.
"I'll go to sleep too. After all, my woman lacks stamina, doesn't she? There's nothing I can do about unfulfilled desires." Zuo Qinghuan lowered her head and playfully bit Qin Wanshu's chest.
"There needs to be a balance in everything for sustainable development," Qin Wanshu argued that it was not that her stamina was lacking, but rather Zuo Qinghuan was just overly enthusiastic about this matter.
"Sustainable development is good, but I prefer 'a steady flow." Zuo Qinghuan said ambiguously.
Seeing Zuo Qinghuan's suggestive words and bold actions, Qin Wanshu couldn't help but blush again. This woman really makes her feel shy. She turned her head away, not daring to look at Zuo Qinghuan anymore.
"I won't tease you anymore, let's sleep." Zuo Qinghuan reached out and hugged Qin Wanshu, pulling her into her arms. She gently patted Qin Wanshu's back, softly speaking as if soothing a child to sleep. At this moment, Qin Wanshu felt that Zuo Qinghuan was a gentle lover, and not a child.
Perhaps she was truly tired, or perhaps Zuo Qinghuan's voice was too gentle, Qin Wanshu quickly fell asleep.
Zuo Qinghuan looked at Qin Wanshu's sleeping face. A goddess is always a goddess, even more enchanting when asleep. She felt that at this moment, her usually empty heart was filled by Qin Wanshu. She stared at her sleeping face for a long time, until drowsiness slowly crept in. Even in dreams, it was all about Qin Wanshu.

It had been some time since Qian Shaowen underwent surgery, and his body was recovering well. This made Yan Ruowen somewhat relieved, but there were some unavoidable matters ahead.
Yan Ruowen listened quietly as Qian Shaowen spoke. He had made many plans for his days after being discharged from the hospital. Things he couldn't do before due to poor health, he now wanted to accomplish. Qian Shaowen finally felt he could barely be a healthy man, capable of bringing happiness to Ruowen without being a burden anymore. He envisioned a beautiful future with Yan Ruowen and described the wonderful blueprint of their future life to her. Yan Ruowen felt a bit sentimental. Her sole focus used to be taking care of him, solely wishing for his recovery without any other expectations. Now that he was better, it could be considered fulfilling her wish. She regarded Qian Shaowen as family. If it weren't for her habitual care for his sickly body, perhaps they would have truly fallen in love. But in the end, fate wasn't on their side. Suddenly, Yan Ruowen remembered a saying: ‘The right person missed the blooming period, while the wrong person picked the flowers too early.’ The wrong person was undoubtedly Li Xin. Her first time was taken by her, as if it were destined for her to be entangled with that woman. Yan Ruowen suddenly remembered Li Xin's overly seductive smile and frowned slightly.

"Shaowen, let's get a divorce," Yan Ruowen suddenly interrupted Qian Shaowen as he continued to outline their future plans. That blueprint wouldn't involve her anymore.
Qian Shaowen looked at Yan Ruowen in astonishment, but seeing her serious expression, he knew she never joked. What she said was serious. Was their relationship truly just a responsibility to her? Was she that eager to leave him behind once he was better?
"Why?" Qian Shaowen felt his throat go dry. He hadn't felt parched despite speaking so much just now, but this one sentence felt more difficult than all the previous ones combined.
"Not long ago, weren't there reports about me and Li Xin? Those things are true. We're not just friends." Yan Ruowen said earnestly as she peeled an apple, not lifting her head. She also didn't dare to look at Qian Shaowen too much.
"I can understand, and I don't mind." Qian Shaowen knew it was true, of course. He wouldn't have questioned Yan Ruowen about it before; he would have pretended not to hear. But he never expected her to admit it voluntarily, which made him feel uneasy.
"I promised her," Yan Ruowen's tone was always so serious, always saying what she meant and sticking to it firmly, making her decisions unshakable. It was the same when she married him, and it was the same now, even with the divorce.
"Did she threaten you with the surgery?" Qian Shaowen felt that even if Ruowen truly liked Li Xin, she wouldn't easily abandon him. That was the only explanation for Ruowen to be so determined to divorce him.
"No, I willingly did it for her. It's something I owe her, consider it as repaying her five years of affection," Ruowen said, not wanting Qian Shaowen to feel guilty. She didn't plan to tell him the truth, so she spoke with a mix of truth and falsehood.
"Do you really like her?" Qian Shaowen asked with difficulty.
Yan Ruowen nodded. In truth, she had never sorted out her feelings for Li Xin.
"What about me?" Qian Shaowen asked, feeling uncertain about what their six years of marriage meant. Was that just a form of repayment?
"You are a very important person in my life, like family," Yan Ruowen said sincerely.
"Family," this answer made Qian Shaowen feel a little better. Yes, how could Ruowen fall in love with a medicine jar like him? Even himself would find it repulsive. He was well aware of Yan Ruowen's past. As an orphan, Yan Ruowen had no family. He knew how much weight the words "family" carried in Yan Ruowen's heart. That was enough for him. He had burdened her for so many years; it was time to set her free, to let her seek happiness. Thinking about this, Qian Shaowen still felt uneasy.
"Is Li Xin good to you?" Qian Shaowen asked. Although each question pained him, he needed to know if Li Xin treated her well. Only then could he feel at ease handing over his beloved woman to her.
"She's very good to me," Yan Ruowen said. She knew Qian Shaowen had decided to let go. He had always been a very good person, and she had never doubted that. She hoped someone could take better care of him than she could.
"What kind of person is she?" Qian Shaowen asked. Perhaps only by confirming that they truly loved each other could he bring himself to let go.
Yan Ruowen found this question difficult. The current Li Xin was different from the one she originally knew, but she wasn't sure which one was the real her.
"I am someone who loves Yan Ruowen very, very much." Li Xin, who had been eavesdropping outside for a while, suddenly pushed the door open and earnestly declared as she reached out to put her arm around Yan Ruowen's shoulder, her statement carrying the weight of a solemn pledge.
"She may seem superficial, but she's actually a woman of depth. Beautiful, virtuous, gentle, and graceful. She can handle the kitchen, the hall, and the bedroom..." Li Xin naturally wanted to say more good things about herself.
Yan Ruowen found it somewhat amusing to hear Li Xin acknowledge her own superficial appearance but claim to have depth. She didn't know about the depth part herself, but as Li Xin spoke, she seemed to become more and more profound. However, Yan Ruowen didn't interrupt Li Xin's nonsense.
Qian Shaowen looked at Li Xin's hand resting on Yan Ruowen's shoulder and felt quite upset. He and Ruowen hadn't divorced yet. Could Li Xin be a bit more discreet and not provoke him?
Yan Ruowen understood this principle well. She took a step forward, avoiding Li Xin's arm. Li Xin was unreliable, and she couldn't afford to be unreliable herself.
Qian Shaowen felt very relieved. Although it was just a lower position as family, Ruowen still understood his feelings. Although there seemed to be something strange between Ruowen and Li Xin, since Li Xin came in, Ruowen's gaze would occasionally drift towards her, which proved that Li Xin held a special place in Ruowen's heart. Qian Shaowen reluctantly played the role of a mature gentleman. Most gentlemen end up at a disadvantage, but Qian Shaowen knew that he owed Ruowen a lot over the years.
