"If Madame Qian has nothing else, I'll go back to work." Li Xin scolded herself for impulsively approaching her. The moment she sensed a bit of warmth, her brain seemed to overheat.
"Wait, no matter how much money you want, as long as you perform the surgery on him and cure him," Yan Rouwen stopped Li Xin from leaving.
Upon hearing this, Li Xin raised a faint smirk, finding it extremely sarcastic. If she truly cared about money, she wouldn't have thrown the ten million breakup fee in her face.
Watching Li Xin walk away without looking back, Yan Rouwen felt a sense of panic. She knew Li Xin's absurd demands from yesterday were serious.
"Li Xin, can you really cure him?" Yan Rouwen needed a definite answer from Li Xin.
Li Xin halted her steps, knowing that Yan Rouwen had made up her mind. She liked Yan Rouwen this way—never indecisive.
"I don't have a hundred percent certainty, but I'm optimistic about a forty to fifty percent chance. Of course, if you agree to my condition, it will take effect after I successfully perform the surgery on Qian Shaowen and come out of the operating room," Li Xin said, turning to face Yan Rouwen.
"Alright, let it be this way then," Yan Rouwen agreed to Li Xin's deal. Debts had to be repaid; she owed Qian Shaowen and Li Xin, and it was time to settle those debts.
Li Xin observed Yan Rouwen's agreement with a mix of emotions. She felt displeased that Yan Rouwen could sacrifice so much for Qian Shaowen, yet she also felt a sense of joy. If the surgery succeeded, Yan Rouwen would agree to divorce Qian Shaowen and become her mistress. At that point, Yan Rouwen would no longer belong to Qian Shaowen but to her, and Li Xin could claim her rightfully.
"Yan Rouwen, I've said it before: I will wait until the day when you belong to me alone." Li Xin approached Yan Rouwen, gently caressing her cheek and whispering affectionately into her ear. The seemingly intimate gesture carried more of a declaration.
Yan Rouwen remained expressionless as she listened to Li Xin's words, feeling a sense of confusion inside. Yan Rouwen didn't understand Li Xin's persistence, wondering why Li Xin was so determined to have her. She knew that forcibly obtained fruits were never sweet.

Meanwhile, Qin Wanshu spent another night at Zuo Qinghuan's place. Though nothing serious happened, the night was filled with sweet intimacy. Qin Wanshu didn't make any excuses to stay out overnight this time, deliberately turning off her phone to remain untraceable, a conscious decision on her part.
"You didn't come back last night, and you weren't with Qin Teng and Shi Yunyang either. Your phone was also switched off. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation?" Coincidentally, last night at the entertainment club, Han Shibin saw Qin Teng and Shi Yunyang mingling together. Obviously, his wife wasn't with them. Returning home, he found that Qin Wanshu also hadn't come home and hadn't gone to the Qin family. It was evident that Qin Wanshu was with someone unknown. Han Shibin suppressed the urge to question with a calm tone.
"Coincidentally, I also want to give us an explanation." Paper doesn't stop fire, and lies are just lies. There will be a day when they are revealed. Qin Wanshu didn't intend to continue with Han Shibin. She is not the kind of person who can easily engage in an affair. In fact, when she saw the bruises on Zuo Qinghuan's hands yesterday, she had already made a decision. However, she wouldn't confess everything to Han Shibin in front of Zuo Qinghuan and Shi Yunyang.
"Never mind, I believe you won't betray me. I'll take a shower; I have to go to work later." Han Shibin looked at Qin Wanshu, who appeared calm and somewhat indifferent. Suddenly, he felt a sense of unease, unsure whether he truly wanted to pursue the matter to the end.
"Shibin, let's get a divorce," Qin Wanshu calmly uttered these words.
"What?" Han Shibin uncertainly asked in response because when Qin Wanshu spoke those words, she was too calm, as if he had misheard. Although Qin Wanshu had been acting strangely lately, Han Shibin never expected it to escalate to this extent.
"Let's get a divorce," Qin Wanshu repeated, making sure that Han Shibin hadn't misunderstood.
"Why?" Han Shibin asked incredulously.
"We're not suitable." Reasons for a breakup or divorce are always practical and official, yet often the least convincing.
"How come it wasn't unsuitable before? Why is it unsuitable now? Do you have someone else in your heart? Who is that person? Were you with that person last night?" Han Shibin walked up to Qin Wanshu, grabbed her shoulders, and excitedly asked several questions.

"Let's agree to divorce. This is a decision I made after a long thought. If you insist on reasons, it's simply because I don't love you," Qin Wanshu didn't immediately answer Han Shibin's questions, instead, she repeated it seriously, letting Han Shibin know about her firm decision.
"I don't mind that you don't love me. I didn't mind before, and I won't mind in the future. Who is that person outside?" Han Shibin wanted to know who the person was that led Qin Wanshu to make such a ridiculous decision.
"There's no one outside. I just informed you of my decision, and it's a decision that won't change," Qin Wanshu certainly wouldn't let Zuo Qinghuan surface at this moment. She wouldn't allow Zuo Qinghuan to be harmed by Han Shibin.
"Haha, Qin Wanshu, you've changed. You wouldn't be so firm with me before. That person has a significant influence on you. Fine, let me tell you too; I won't divorce. I absolutely won't let you and that wild man benefit!" Han Shibin, consumed by jealousy, was losing his composure rapidly. He would definitely find out who the person was that made Qin Wanshu change her heart and ensure that person faced consequences. Competing with Han Shibin for a woman was like courting death!
"I don't want to escalate things. It won't benefit anyone if it gets bigger. Qin Wanshu felt this matter was getting intense. Judging by Han Shibin's demeanor, he wouldn't easily let go. Qin Wanshu softened her tone, but her stance remained unwavering.
"Don't get divorced then. You're just momentarily confused; you won't abandon the years of our relationship," Han Shibin held Qin Wanshu's hand and urgently pleaded.
"Shibin, don't deceive yourself. Even after so many years, I haven't fallen in love with you. We'll inevitably encounter problems sooner or later. You're an outstanding man, and many women will genuinely love you. Instead of dragging you through a lifetime, it's better to set you free and set me free too," Qin Wanshu spoke with emotion.
"What's wrong with me?" Han Shibin asked, unwilling to accept the situation.
Qin Wanshu feels that whatever she says now, Han Shibin won't listen, so she doesn't plan to say anything more.
"I'll go upstairs to change and return to the Qin family. Tonight, someone will come to move the things. We're formally separating," Qin Wanshu calmly stated. At this moment, Han Shibin truly experienced Qin Wanshu's ruthlessness. Once this woman decides something, it's challenging to salvage the situation. What is it about that person that attracts her so much?
"Qin Wanshu, what about that person is so appealing to you?" Han Shibin shouted after the retreating figure of Qin Wanshu.
Qin Wanshu slowed her pace slightly but didn't stop to answer Han Shibin's question. What about Zuo Qinghuan attracts her? Honestly, she doesn't know. Zuo Qinghuan doesn't have any outstanding qualities, but being with her is always incredibly relaxed. That wholehearted relaxation is something that Han Shibin could never provide.
Qin Wanshu returned to the Qin family, and Han Shibin insisted on going with her
"Are you two having a disagreement?" Qin Zheng was surprised. His granddaughter and Han Shibin had always had a good relationship since their marriage, and they had never had any conflicts. Now, the atmosphere between them seemed a bit off.
"Grandpa, I've decided to divorce Shibin," Qin Wanshu calmly stated, but within the Qin family, the declaration was undoubtedly more explosive than a bomb.
Author's Note:
Qin Wanshu is thirty years old and her decision to divorce is likely to be her most rebellious act, and one can anticipate the reaction from the Qin family…
Han Shibin is undoubtedly not going to let go easily...
I have been bad at writing recently, and there seem to be fewer comments…
