Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the midst of the silence, a long sigh was heard all of a sudden, followed by Shi Jinyan’s voice, “Jingyu, let’s have a child.”

Upon hearing this, Si Jingyu completely froze.

He... wasn’t asleep yet?

She abruptly turned around, her back now facing Shi Jinyan. After wiping away her tears quietly, she said while trying to sound as cold as possible, “When are we getting a divorce?”

There was silence for a long time.

Just as Si Jingyu thought that the other party was playing dead again, he suddenly said, “Must we really divorce?”

Si Jingyu clenched her fist tightly. “Yes.”

As soon as she said this, the sound of a familiar movement came from behind. Before she could react, the blanket was lifted up and a burning hot body had already forced its way in!

Si Jingyu was shocked. Before she could turn around, a pair of big hands had already embraced her tightly. “Jingyu, I don’t want to divorce.”

As she was unable to hold them back any longer, Si Jingyu’s tears welled up.

Didn’t want a divorce?

Neither did she.

Yet, was there still meaning in continuing with this marriage?

Si Jingyu sniffled her nose. She had a sudden urge to ask a question that she had been hiding deep down in her heart for many years, “Do you... love me?”

The man paused before answering, “I...”

Before he could finish his sentence, an ear-piercing sound suddenly rang in the quiet and still night.

Shi Jinyan’s cell phone was placed on the bedside cupboard that was beside Si Jingyu. Along with the music, it was flashing repeatedly in the dark.

Their conversation paused.

Si Jingyu subconsciously stretched out her arm to take his cell phone for him. Just then, she saw the incoming caller’s name that was flashing on the screen – Yue Yue.

Yue Yue...

It’s Bai Yue!

At this moment, Si Jingyu felt as if she was given a tight slap. Just how immature and shallow was she? She even asked such a ridiculous and childish question!

To what extent was she lacking love? Things had already come to this point, but she still couldn’t bear to part with this man?

Si Jingyu tightly grasped the cell phone, sat up quickly, and switched on the bedside lamp. The light shone and lit up the entire room in an instant. Without completely wiping off her tears at the corner of her eyes, she simply looked toward Shi Jinyan with a sharp gaze.

Shi Jinyan was momentarily stunned. He’d known Si Jingyu for so many years, and she had always been a cheerful and magnanimous woman who never cried. However, this time...

Just as Shi Jinyan was about to say something, she sneeringly tittered coldly as she passed the cell phone over.

Shi Jinyan took the cell phone. Upon looking at the call on the screen, his gaze dimmed. He raised his head and looked toward Si Jingyu, “Jingyu, I...”

“You better answer the call first.”

At this point, Si Jingyu glanced at the clock on the wall and said sarcastically, “It’s 11 pm. She’s calling you at such a late hour. What do you think it could be?”

Upon hearing this, Shi Jinyan knitted his brows.

He walked to the side and answered the call, clearly sounding slightly annoyed, “Hello.”

The other party said something that caused Shi Jinyan’s brows to knit even more. “... I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up the call, he turned around. Just as he was about to say something, he then saw Si Jingyu crossing her arms and looking at him coldly.

Shi Jinyan’s head started aching all of a sudden. He wanted to explain himself, but he didn’t manage to say anything in the end.

He quickly put on his clothes, picked up his briefcase, and walked straight toward the door.

Yet, Si Jingyu’s voice came from behind, “I’ve already sent you the divorce agreement earlier on. The final deadline is tomorrow. If you don’t sign it by then, I’ll ask my lawyer to file a divorce suit against you.”
