He sat up straight on the edge of the bed, the green stubble on his thin chin sprouting out, adding a decadent beauty to his handsome face. With him around, how could she sleep so soundly, turning her back on him, and after a long time Chi Yinan heard her low and firm voice, "Chi Yinan, let's get divorced."

He was startled, thinking that he had misheard her, but when the same words rang out again, he suddenly stood up and quickly bent down to straighten her body, forcing the woman who had her eyes closed to look him in the eye. His index finger lifted her chin and held it in place, the tip of his nose almost touching the tip as he gnashed his teeth in anger.

"Su Wenjin, you want to divorce me? Don't even think about it for the rest of your life. Rest well, I'll come and see you later." Only Chi Yinan himself knew that the hand that covered her couldn't stop trembling as he left. He went back to his bedroom, closed the door and took deep breaths. He walked to the balcony and sat on her favorite tatami, fished out a cigarette, lit it up a few times, and then miserably smoked.

The divorce had been mentioned only once, and for the past few days they had been living together in the guest room, but she had never mentioned it again. Life seemed to be back on track, but she knew it was the calm before the storm, and the quieter it was, the more turbulent it became.

After leaving the month, she still stayed in the guest room. Chi Yinan gradually moved all the things in the master bedroom over. She saw his concession and had no other choice but to smile.

"Madam, just now, Teacher called and said that he would return to the quiet garden at night and told you not to wait for him to rest early." Auntie Xue pushed the door open and came in holding a piece of oatmeal in her hand, steam rising from it. "Eat more. A woman's body must be healed. Otherwise, her next birth will be miserable."

Auntie Xue left after she wanted to say something. She put down the spoon and picked up the newspaper. She had not worked for years and had almost forgotten about her professional lessons. She was not sure if she could find a job now.

Chi Yinan returned to the quiet garden. His mother was sitting on the sofa in the living room, deep in thought. He walked in with large strides, and the embarrassing appearance from a few days ago had already disappeared.

"Where's Dad?"

"Upstairs, Yinnan, tell mom, did Wan-Jin forgive you?"

"Mom, don't worry. Warm Jin has been in a bad mood for the past few days. I'll take her out to relax later." Chi Yinan patted his mother's hand and went upstairs. Gu Huiru's heart skipped a beat. Elder Chi was obviously hiding something from her these past few days, and she had a strong premonition that something bad was going to happen to this family.

"Come in."

Chi Yinan knocked on the door, and after receiving permission, he pushed the door open and entered. His father was sitting behind a black desk, writing something down.

"Sit down."

He pulled up the chair and sat down. Chi Xiongtian looked at him but didn't say anything. He took out a document from the drawer and put it in front of him. He looked down and saw the words on it.

"Dad."

"Yi Nan, let's sign it."

Chi Yinan really wanted to tear this document apart, so how could he sign it? He held the paper in his hand, and on it, Su Wenjin's signature was written in a neat and straight manner, without any traces of dragging it out at all. He only felt that his eyes had been stabbed and could not bear it.

Seeing his son's pained expression, Chi Xingtian also gradually couldn't bear to do so, but in the end, he steeled his heart, "Yinan, she has already told me the reason why you married Wen Jin."

She wanted to laugh out loud. She already had the thought of getting a divorce, but seeing how he had shown goodwill these days, she was like a clown: "So what? Now we are already husband and wife."

"Humph, husband and wife, Chi Yinan, what do you know about husband and wife? For the past three years, have you tormented each other like this?"

Every word of Chi Xiongtian struck hard on his heart. They tortured each other. Could it be that in Su Wenjin's heart, marrying him was torture?

"Dad, we will get better. I definitely won't separate from this marriage."

After saying that, Chi Yinan took the divorce agreement on the table and quickly left the study. He went downstairs and headed straight back to the creek sea, where Su Wenjin was taking a bath in the bathroom. He hadn't had a good shower in the past few days, and when he was ready to put on his clothes, he suddenly heard a loud door outside, it was the sound of the lock hitting the wall and rebounding.

Chi Yinan rushed to the door of the bathroom and bumped into Su Wenjin who had just come out. She was knocked against the door frame by Su Wenjin, and before she could adjust, she felt a sharp pain on her back. She was dragged out of the bathroom and pressed against the wall.

"Su Wenjin, why do you want to divorce me so much?"

Tears welled up in Chi Yinan's eyes due to the pain. He stared into her misty eyes, raised her chin and looked straight at himself, "Wan-jin, tell me the truth, are you happy marrying me?"

He was like a lonely and desperate beast, yet he had a tough and inviolable appearance. He wanted to hear from her that he could continue. She endured the pain and suddenly laughed. Tears almost fell from her eyes. Her tone was very light.

"Happy? Chi Yinan, tell me what happiness is, what do you think? " In the end, he was still unable to hold back the tears that were rolling down his face. They slid down his face and onto his clothes, causing him to faint.

"Wan-Jin, don't be like this." He reached out to wipe it, but couldn't wipe it clean no matter what. Chi Yinan was so distressed that he couldn't breathe. He held her in his arms, clapped his hands behind him and muttered her name.

She sobbed silently in his arms, repeating over and over, "Chi Yinan, let's let each other go."
