Seeing Si Yu, who was already close to madness, Xiao Yichen could only hug her tightly; Si Yu was fundamentally unable to struggle free from Xiao Yichen's embrace.
"I'm sorry, forgive me, I'm sorry." Xiao Yichen comforted the excited Si Yu.
"Xiao Yichen, do you love me?"
"Love, I love you, I love you the most." Xiao Yichen said seriously.
"You liar! Why does love do this to me! " Si Yu used all of his strength to vent out his anger.
"I love her too. I'm very conflicted. Please understand." Xiao Yichen said in pain.
Why? Why was he in pain? What right did he have to be in pain? All the pain was caused by him, yet he shamelessly asked for an explanation.
"Is it true that you love me?"
"Yes, I love you. I love you more than I love her." Xiao Yichen said. It seemed like a god was giving something to him, should I be thankful if I love him more, should I be grateful if I am like those concubines that used to fight for favour with their harem?
"How sad would you be if I left you one day?" His mood gradually calmed down.
"No, I won't let you leave me, I won't." Seeing that she had calmed down, Xiao Yichen guessed that it was because his words were effective.
"Marriage shouldn't be like this. If you don't want me to leave, then leave Xu Liwei." If Xiao Yichen loved him, she was willing to forgive him, but the condition was to cut off all ties with Xu Liwei.
Xiao Yichen looked at him with a troubled expression. Just from this gaze alone, one could tell that he would not agree to it.
"Don't say anymore, I got it. Let's get ready for a divorce."
"Why can't you understand me?" Xiao Yichen looked at himself in pain.
"I understand you. Who will understand me?"
"I won't divorce you, so don't even think about it." Xiao Yichen said as he kept his painful expression.
"The law will solve everything."
"If I get a divorce, I will be able to control half of the shares in the Zuoqi." Xiao Yichen said calmly, he had the chips to subdue Si Yu.
"Then I also have half of the shares in Baishi." Si Yu retorted. Divorced couples divided their wealth equally.
"You forgot that Baishi is not in my name, but Zuoqi is in yours." Xiao Yichen said.
"You're shameless!" Who would have thought that when they were first married, she wanted to trust Xiao Yichen so much, but he had always been on his guard against her.
"The choice is already given to you. You can choose." Xiao Yichen sat down and looked at Si Yu with a serious face. It wouldn't be easy to divorce her, so long as he didn't let go of her hand, she wouldn't be able to leave.
Si Yu suddenly deflated, looked at Xiao Yichen and said, "One day, Xiao Yichen, I will let you go." What else could he say? Xiao Yichen wanted to tie him up by his side so that he could slowly injure him.
Dong dong dong, there was a knock on the door outside. Upon opening the door, one could see that it was Xiao Yichen's parents, Xiao Chenbing and Yan Lijun.
"Dad, mom, why are you guys here?" Xiao Yichen asked.
"It would be overturning the heavens if he didn't come." Xiao Chenbing was very angry, he sat on the sofa in the living room downstairs.
"It was the Nanny Li who called us. She said that we were arguing and that your father and I came over." Yan Lijun explained, glancing at Si Yu, then looked at Xiao Yichen, and finally sat down beside him.
Xiao Yichen explained: "Mom and Dad, we were just bickering, there's nothing wrong."
"Shut up and let Si Yu speak." Xiao Chenbing stopped Xiao Yichen with a shout, looked at Si Yu, and changed his kind tone.
Si Yu took a deep breath and changed his expression into his usual one. He replied, "It's nothing much. I was just arguing and made you all worry."
Xiao Chenbing noticed that Si Yu did not even call him daddy. Although he said that he was fine, his expression had already betrayed her. Xiao Chenbing sighed, and said: "What happened a while ago was your fault, and it was also because we couldn't discipline you well enough, but we still have to live through it. Let this matter go, our Xiao family will definitely make it up to you."
"It's already past, it's getting late. You can all rest here for the night." Si Yu's answer was very official. Right now, she didn't want to hear anything, so no matter what she said, she wanted to defend her son.
"Si Yu, I have something to say to you." Yan Lijun supported Si Yu into the room on the second floor. When she saw Si Yu's pained and guilty expression, she said, "Si Yu, you've truly suffered too much because of what you did. Don't worry, I'll definitely give you an explanation for what happened."
Si Yu looked at Yan Lijun and asked, "Do you know who Xu Liwei is?"
Yan Lijun paused for a moment, then replied: "I know about that, but he and Quan Chen are not suitable, his father and I are still interested in you."
"Is it just because I'm more suited to be the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family? I understand now, the matter is already in the past." Si Yu was extremely disappointed.
"Si Yu, don't be angry. Mom didn't mean it that way." Yan Lijun said.
"Did you always know about the relationship between Xiao Yichen and myself? Did you help him hide it from me?" Si Yu said. Hearing Yan Lijun's tone, she knew Yan Lijun knew about this matter.
Yan Lijun immediately retorted, "No, how would mother know?" Actually, she knew about this, but she couldn't admit it in front of Si Yu.
Si Yu laughed coldly in his heart as he replied, "It's best if you rest early. I won't divorce Xiao Yichen and will be the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family."
Yan Lijun could not say anything more as she let Si Yu leave the room. Xiao Yichen stood in the living room downstairs with a serious face. Yan Lijun looked at her own son with both anger and hate.
Si Yu walked over to Xiao Chenbing and said, "Dad, it's getting late. The things that happened in the past are already in the past." Actually, Xiao Chenbing had always been good to her, and she also respected his father-in-law.
Xiao Chenbing nodded his head, they were planning to stay the night, probably afraid that he and Xiao Yichen would argue again.
When he returned to his room, it was already early in the morning. Si Yu thought to himself, fortunately, he didn't have to go to the company tomorrow, so he had nothing to do. No matter what, she would definitely not be able to sleep in the same room with Xiao Yichen tonight. She picked up the pillow and walked to the sofa, not wanting to sleep on the same bed as Xiao Yichen.
After switching off the light, Xiao Yichen just sat on the side of the bed and did not lie down. In the darkness, Xiao Yichen's voice sounded a little hoarse as he said, "Si Yu, what do you want to do?"
Si Yu replied, "I've already told you." She had already explained it very clearly. If he wanted to return to the past, Xiao Yichen must no longer have any interactions with Xu Liwei. This was the most basic condition.
Hearing Xiao Yichen's sigh, Si Yu smiled sadly. He was his wife, yet he was negotiating with his husband to have him leave his mistress position.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Upon seeing that it was a Facebook message, he opened it to see that it was Leng Xuan. He was a good friend on Facebook. Because she lived abroad all year round, he only used social networking tools from overseas. Leng Xuan was just a nickname.
"I'm coming to China." Leng Xuan sent a message over.
Si Yu replied, "When?"
Leng Xuan said that he was an Englishman, he could speak fluent Chinese, so he did not ask further.
Although he was a foreigner, there was no problem with the communication between the two of them. Whenever she was sad at night, Leng Xuan would always accompany her to talk, but they had never met.
No matter how familiar and trusting a person was, they would always be unable to say those words out loud. However, they were able to brazenly say them out loud to a stranger whom they had never met before. To her, Leng Xuan was just such a stranger.
"Are you coming to pick me up in three days?" Leng Xuan quickly replied with a few words.
"I don't know where you're from in China." Si Yu replied. She had never thought of meeting Leng Xuan again, the two of them chatting very well without meeting each other.
"There's a place for you." Very quickly, another line appeared on the screen.
Si Yu replied, "How do you know where I am? "You've just woken up, it's already early in the morning and I'm going to bed." Today was truly very tiring, and he wanted to sleep as well. Even if his heart was still aching, he should thank Leng Xuan for his appearance, which caused him to distract his attention a little.
On the balcony stood a man wearing a beige sweater and light slacks. His slender fingers were gripping his phone tightly, he was about 1.8 meters tall, and there was a slight smile on his handsome face. He quickly typed on the screen, "Good night."
Just as Si Yu was about to put down his phone, the screen appeared. "Alright, good night." Si Yu slightly stretched his brows, thinking that if not for Leng Xuan accompanying him day and night for the past three years, he probably would have gotten some mental illness.
Three years ago, because of the incident with Xiao Yichen, Si Yu had once again returned to England and unintentionally got to know Leng Xuan online at that time.
He himself had once majored in classical music in the British Royal College, and had also organized a few small concerts. Coincidentally, Leng Xuan had also taught royal music before, so there were some records of music on his Facebook page.
Looking at Si Yu's flickering screen, Xiao Yichen wondered who she was contacting so late in the night. Could it be another man, or would another man enter her house when she was hurt?
When she woke up the next day, Si Yu did not see any trace of Xiao Yichen. When she woke up, Xiao Chenbing had already left as well.
"Si Yu has woken up. ChenChen and your father have already left for the office. Hurry and come eat breakfast." As Yan Lijun passionately greeted him, Si Yu went downstairs, thinking that if Xiao Yichen treated him with all his heart, this house would still be very beautiful, but the reality was not perfect, and he didn't know how long this heart torturing marriage would last.
After finishing breakfast, Yan Lijun packed up and instructed Nanny Li to prepare to leave. When she was about to leave, she suddenly said to Si Yu, "Si Yu, come over here for a while."
With the support of Yan Lijun, they walked into the courtyard. Yan Lijun then said sincerely, "Si Yu, this man's heart can only be grasped by wisdom. I think that my father and I had experienced this before, but after I became pregnant and had a son, his father stopped worrying.
Yan Lijun wanted to carry her grandson, but sshe was not an idiot who would use a child to keep the marriage between them. Besides, she and Xiao Yichen had no marriage between them already, he would not have such a man giving birth to a child.
