74 Chapter 74 : Divorce Will Never Happen! Periodt!

Hongqi woke up slightly later than usual this morning. He may have slept longer than his usual four hours but it was still not enough. Add that it must be because he was so exhausted from overthinking and was slightly hangover too. He noticed that his wife was not in bed anymore which is odd since she's always late to wake up.

He quickly got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Once he's done, he changed to a red suit and went out to check where his wife. He noticed that her bag was still inside the room so he guessed that she was still here.

"Do I really have to meet your mother? You know I'm afraid to meet her right now especially you spilled a lot of secrets recently." 

That was the first thing Hongqi heard when he was near the mini office inside this suite. This is Xiulan's mini office in case she wants to work from home. He didn't come inside and only continued to eavesdrop the conversation.

"Idiot, if you didn't transitioned to a woman then you could have been my husband now. I can't meet your mom, stupid. I am really afraid she might lock me up in your family's mansion. Hahaha!" Xiulan laughed while she types on her laptop with a headset attached on her head.

"Husband? Mansion?" Hongqi's brows furrowed. He was curious who the person his wife was talking to. Especially that their topic is quite a distinct one.

"I won't ever stop saying that, okay. Tell her that I'm busy. She can visit my mom if she wants to talk about the future." Xiulan said something very vague again that Hongqi can't comprehend.

"I am telling you, I don't have control over this. Besides, your big brother seems to be very popular to the ladies. Why is he still waiting for me? The time I get divorced, I might be wrinkly and ugly. Hahaha!" Xiulan laughed again on her own joke.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

The topic was irking Hongqi. "Why are they talking about divorce?! And someone's waiting for my wife? What the fuck? Why is she laughing too much?"

"Ugh! I can't with you anymore. I'm hanging up." Xiulan angrily turned off her phone and continued her intense typing. She also snorted when she remembered her conversation with Wenyan. She can't believe that this bestfriend is begging her to meet her mother. She laughed too much today since it's a defense mechanism of her anxiety that she's a dire situation.

The Wen family seems to be desperate in having her as their daughter-in-law. How can they even think of such preposterous idea while she's already married. She can't help but laugh to this bizarre predicament but also worried since she feels that there will be a bad premonition happening in the future.

She continued typing intensely and tried to forget the conversation with Wenyan. She must go back to her main problem, this early morning havoc in the development department.

This early morning, she received an emergency list of bugs to fix. The bugs to fix were complicated and her development team won't be able to debug and fix this in a short time so she had to do it by herself. She can't even stand up from her seat anymore. She still haven't even eaten her breakfast too.

Because she can't even separate from her computer due of her enthusiasm to fix the bug, she might have to work from home today so she can smoothly continue with her workload.

Her head was still slightly muddled because of Hongqi's confession this early 4 AM. She wasn't able to sleep peacefully too. Due to that circumstance, she was slightly thankful that she didn't go back to sleep anymore. She was able to check the list of bugs to fix earlier than the usual.

She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice Hongqi was already beside her, watching her typing on a black screen and time to time quickly alt-tabbing from the black screen to a software looking application.

"What is this woman doing? Whatever she was doing, it looks so complicated." Hongqi secretly remarked while he watches his wife do her work. He also found out that she still haven't eaten her leftover breakfast in the dining table. So he asked Bai Rong to come inside the room to serve the food to Xiulan.

"Good day, madam. I brought your breakfast." Bai Rong announced and put the food on the long table near the door. She was confused why Hongqi was standing at the back like a suspicious person.

"Oh! Thank you so much, Bai Rong." Xiulan was about to stand up but she suddenly saw a silhouette on her screen. She quickly glanced at the person behind her and she screamed like she saw a ghost. 

"Ah! What are you doing there?!" She dashed towards her husband and hit him with her small hands. "I almost had a heart attack because of you!"

"I apologize. I thought you saw me and only ignored me." Hongqi chuckled seeing her reaction. He catches her small hands and kissed it.

For some reason, Xiulan was slightly disgusted when he kissed her hands. 

"If I knew you came in, I would have kicked you out." She angrily pouted and whisked away her hands away from his lips. "Why are you still here? Aren't you supposed to be in your office now?"

She doesn't want to see him. After the stupid and cringey things he muttered last night, she can't trust him anymore. He might be nice but the words that comes out of his lips are not genuine. She must always mentally note that in her head.

Xiulan went towards her breakfast and before touching her food, she made a quick assessment on Hongqi's attire for today. He was wearing black pants and black undershirt with blood red blazer. His hair was still disheveled since Hongqi left it like that. His stylist is in his company building so he must go to his office before his hair get styled. His face looks pale too from the lack of sleep, he somewhat resemble a dracula.

"Handsome but annoying." she savagely remarked in her head. She hated it that she's slightly attracted to him. This might be because they were always rolling on the sheets. She must do something about this. This is not normal ah!

"I was but I suddenly saw you here. Working so early and not eating is unhealthy." Hongqi nagged and went beside her. He checked what she was eating. He thanked himself for hiring Bai Rong, if he didn't hired her, this wife of his might be eating something unhealthy again.

"There's an emergency right now that I can't even have a break." Xiulan wanted to cry from this early mischief from her clients. 

Hongqi watches his wife's mixed expressions while she bites on her meal, she seems to be really stressed. He suddenly thought of the conversation he heard a while ago. Since he's the type that if something piqued his curiosity and irritation, he will immediately ask questions.

"I heard you were talking to someone a while ago. You were talking about divorce. Is it about us?" He probed his wife and intently waits for her answer. He really doesn't like what he heard a while ago.

Xiulan almost choke on her salad when she heard Hongqi's question. She aggressively coughed first to clear her throat before asking him. "You heard that?"

"I did. So what is it about?"

Xiulan never thought that his husband was the type to eavesdrop on girls' gossips and conversations. But this is a golden opportunity to talk about divorce. Since she already found out that he still loves that Lingyu woman, this might be the perfect time to mention this.

"I don't know if you knew about this or father said this to you before but I was supposed to marry my best friend, Wen Wenyan. If he didn't transitioned to a woman, I might be his wife now. I mean her, she... Anyway, the Wen family wants me to marry the big brother instead. I told them I am already married and I can't divorce. I joked to them that the time you divorce me, I might be ugly and old." Xiulan awkwardly explained while she holds onto her bowl of salad. The situations she's currently in, both angles, are very distressing to think about.

They were both silent after that. Hongqi's wasn't able to comprehend what Xiulan just said but he understands that the Wen family is trying to fuck up their relationship.

Since Hongqi was not saying anything, Xiulan suddenly had the guts to ask him the most sensitive question in this marriage. "Is there a chance you will divorce me in the future?"

She asked this not because of the issue with the Wen family, but she's asking this for her freedom and also deep in her heart, she wants security. Security that they will continue this until they are old.

Hongqi looked at his wife with great surprise. "Is she really asking about divorce?"

"No. We are never getting a divorce. Tell the Wen family to screw and find someone else as the Wen bride. They won't like it if I'm mad." Hongqi coldly said and he suddenly walked out of the room with loud steps like he was fuming.

Xiulan's gawked. She was so confused. "Why the fuck he doesn't want a divorce?! Am I really inevitably trapped with him?! Nooo!"

She didn't expect him to say that. "What the hell? I thought he loves that Lingyu woman? Don't tell me he's going to make that woman his mistress?" Xiulan gasps from her own conclusion. Her imagination is running wild.

She suddenly remembered those soap operas that her mother and sisters were addicted to watch during the afternoon. She can't believe she'll have her own soap opera moments in the future ah! 

Xiulan angrily clutched on her bowl of salad and her fiery eyes stared at the door like she was throwing daggers using her eyes.

"Hongqi, I may be kind all the time to you but infidelity is not on my list! I may not care about your long list of women before and even I really don't care if you try to cheat on me. But things changed. I am still human!" She angrily muttered and devoured the green leafy salad like a hungry rabbit.
