At the same time, she didn’t forget to continue, “It’s Xixi’s birthday today, so let’s not talk about irrelevant things. Let’s eat first. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk after the meal!”

She glanced at Wen Xi as she spoke, her eyes filled with a kind and warm smile.

Wen Xi first smiled at Wen Liang and then nodded to agree with Xiao Ping’s proposal. In fact, she wasn’t planning to cry just now. She had cried enough when she was alone in her room yesterday. She didn’t want to lose control in front of her parents today.

But sometimes, she just couldn’t control her emotions. She couldn’t hide it so well in front of her parents. After all, she was just an ordinary person who had just experienced so many changes and painful torture.

When she returned to an environment where she didn’t need to continue being strong, Wen Xi removed all her pretense and acted like an ordinary child in her parents’ arms. Wen Liang and Xiao Ping were the most important people in her world!

Although there were some twists and turns, the Wen family had a very pleasant dinner. Afterward, it was time to cut Wen Xi’s cake. Wen Liang got up to turn off the lights in the dining room. When he returned to her seat, he saw Wen Xi’s big eyes under the illumination of the candles. She was looking at the two of them with clear and determined eyes, as if she had something important to say.

Wen Liang only had one daughter. She had been raised as a pearl in his palm since she was a child. He always used to hold her in his hands for fear of falling. He knew Wen Xi no less than Wen Xi herself. He knew that she had something on her mind tonight and was waiting for the opportunity to say it!

‘No one knows a daughter better than her father’. As expected, just as Xiao Ping was about to sing her the birthday song, she suddenly interrupted them.

She looked at the flickering candlelight on the cake and slowly said in an unusually calm voice, which was no different from a bomb. She smiled faintly and said, “Before the end of this month, I will probably divorce Chen Ze.”

Xiao Ping, who had gone through a lot of stimulation that night, was stunned when she heard that. She thought she had heard wrong. She looked at Wen Xi’s serious face and said,

“I’m not being willful, nor did I drink too much of Dad’s plum wine. I’m very clear-headed now, and I know what I’m saying.” As if she could see through her parents’ thoughts, she instantly cleared up their doubts. She also shattered their thoughts of being lucky. She was not joking with them!

Wen Xi was still holding a glass of wine in her hand. She had just had a few drinks with Wen Liang, but she was not drunk. It was only because of the stimulation of alcohol that Wen Xi could pretend to be relaxed and say what she had been thinking about the whole day. She was the kind of person who would immediately put in time and energy to complete her decision once she made up her mind.

Since she had already decided to leave Chen Ze, all she had to do was put the divorce into action as soon as possible. In Wen Xi’s mind, her proposal to divorce him was something the Chen family had been wishing for for a long time. Other than the late Old Master Chen, no one else in the Chen family ever looked forward to her marriage with Chen Ze. Therefore, her divorce proposal would be something very joy-inducing in that family.

Chen Ze should also feel the same about this.

Since his love for Bai Lin ran so deep, and their marriage was predestined, then Wen Xi would not continue to stand between them. She should move herself away from them as soon as possible. She understood that a melon that was forcefully twisted would not become sweet, and this was better than continuing to provoke Chen Ze’s disgust toward her for no reason!

“I know that in the beginning, I was the one who insisted on choosing Chen Ze! Dad, you advised me to think twice before I act, and Yan Chen also warned me that he was not a good person. I was stupid and naive, and I loved him so much that I lost a lot of basic judgment. I could not hear other people’s advice and kind suggestions, and my heart was completely occupied by him. I’m indeed stupid and blind.”

Wen Xi laughed sarcastically. She wasn’t laughing at anyone, but only at herself. She was angry at herself for being stupid, naive, and delusional, which led to such a tragic ending in her previous life!

“I clearly knew that Chen Ze would not love me, but I naively thought that as long as I married him, then I would be the one closest to the water that gets the moon.”
