Chapter 150 Divorce
Chapter 150 Divorce
"Let me think about it some more... Fu Shiyue." She bit her lip, her eyes darting around, "Is that alright?"
He stared intently at her, his voice low and husky: "Aran, what are you still hesitating about?"
She was afraid, afraid that all of this was just a fleeting dream, and that when she woke up she would return to the darkness of the past.
But the closer the wonderful life got to her, the more unreal it felt to her...
This normal life under the sun is something she longs for yet fears to have.
"I'll give you three days to see if there's anything you like. Choose one first."
Give her three days?
That's way too short!
"Three days..." she murmured.
He didn't finish speaking.
Seeing that she stopped talking
"Since you don't want to shop anymore, then you can go back. I'll have the driver take you home first." His tone was unquestionable, carrying the decisiveness typical of someone in a position of power, but also a hint of coldness.
He couldn't figure out what she really wanted.
But I felt incredibly agitated.
Ye Xingran looked at him, her lips moved, but in the end she didn't say anything to stop him. Watching him turn and walk away in front of her, she paused, her voice still low and cold: "I have things to do at the company tonight, I won't be going back."
Watching his figure disappear through the door, she felt a mix of emotions. After getting into the car, the scenery outside the window rushed past, and her thoughts drifted away.
Can she really think things through in these three days?
Back home, the large house felt unusually quiet. She sat on the sofa, Fu Shiyue's words and his deep eyes constantly replaying in her mind.
She knew she had feelings for him, but that unknown fear clung to her like a shadow, and she hugged herself tightly.
"Brother! Brother! I need to see you!" A woman's urgent voice suddenly came from outside the office, so loud that it seemed to break through the door.
The voice belonged to Fu Silin, who seemed very anxious and kept calling out.
Upon hearing this voice, Fu Shiyue frowned. With a hint of helplessness, he pressed the landline button and said into the receiver, "Let her in."
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Silin rushed in like a gust of wind, looking extremely hurried.
Seeing her reckless behavior, Fu Shiyue's anger flared up instantly.
She really is a married sister; daughters grow up and leave home...
"Look at yourself! What kind of behavior is this! Where is the demeanor of Miss Fu?"
Fu Silin lowered her head, feeling a little wronged after Fu Shiyue's words, but she did not back down. Instead, she said directly, "Brother, I need to see Xie Huaijin. I have some very important things to tell him."
Fu Shiyue rubbed his temples and said, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me, and I will pass it on to him. He's not really available to see anyone right now."
"Brother, please let me see him..." Her voice sounded very aggrieved.
Looking at his pitiful younger sister, Fu Shiyue couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
He really didn't know how to deal with her like this, after all, her obsession with that person had been going on for quite some time.
After a moment of silence, Fu Shiyue picked up a pen and quickly wrote an address on a clean sheet of paper, then gently placed the paper in front of Fu Silin.
Fu Silin looked at the address in front of her and gave a thank you expression.
Then he immediately left the office.
Ten minutes later, Fu Silin finally arrived at the hospital. This hospital was not an ordinary medical institution, but a private hospital exclusively for the Fu family.
It not only boasts state-of-the-art medical equipment and a professional medical team, but more importantly, it has strict security measures in place.
No one is allowed to enter this hospital without Fu Shiyue's order.
The staff here were naturally very familiar with the Fu family. They were not surprised by Fu Silin's sudden appearance, but as usual, they gave her the right of way without hesitation, allowing her to enter the hospital smoothly.
"Tell me, where is Xie Huaijin?" Fu Silin walked to the front desk, her beautiful eyes fixed on one of the medical staff, her voice still relatively calm.
The medical staff member was clearly intimidated by Fu Silin's imposing manner and stammered, "Miss...Mr. Xie is in the third room on the left over there."
As she spoke, she pointed in that direction.
Fu Silin looked in the direction he pointed and saw a row of wards. Without hesitation, she walked to the left with firm and quick steps.
As the door to the ward opened, light slowly streamed into the room, gradually revealing Xie Huaijin's figure. He was leaning against the headboard, half-sitting and half-lying on the bed, covered with a light blue blanket, looking somewhat weak.
Hearing the door open, Xie Huaijin slowly raised his head, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes the moment his gaze met Fu Silin's.
Seemingly surprised to see her here, his lips moved slightly as he asked, "What brings you here?"
Fu Silin took a deep breath, composed herself, and then walked to the bedside. After standing still, she gazed at Xie Huaijin, carefully examining his face.
After a few days apart, his face appeared slightly pale, and his already thin cheeks looked even more sunken, making one feel sorry for him.
Fu Silin met Xie Huaijin's gaze. Without flinching, she said directly, "Xie Huaijin, I don't want to run away anymore. I've thought a lot these past few days, and I've realized that although our marriage is fake, my feelings for you have changed during this time. These feelings aren't the kind between business partners, do you understand?"
Her voice, though soft, was full of firmness and sincerity. Xie Huaijin listened quietly without interrupting her, his gaze becoming somewhat complex as he seemed to be pondering Fu Silin's words.
Fu Silin continued, "I know this might surprise you, or even cause you trouble. But I don't want to deceive myself anymore; I have to face my true feelings."
After speaking, Fu Silin paused for a moment, giving Xie Huaijin some time to process what she had said.
Then, she looked directly into Xie Huaijin's eyes again, waiting for his response.
Hearing her words, Xie Huaijin's eyes flashed with complex emotions. He remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Silin, I'm sorry, I can't accept your feelings..."
Their marriage was fraught with lies and calculations from the very beginning; it was a transaction where each party got what they wanted. He married her solely for the benefit of the Xie family, while she married him only to appease her family.
This encounter was a mistake in itself, and he already owed Joey something. Now, he's caused such a big problem, which is really overwhelming for him.
To make matters worse, this troublesome person turned out to be the beloved daughter of the Fu family, which undoubtedly brought him even greater pressure and distress.
Faced with this situation, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, inwardly groaning. After all, the Fu family was no ordinary family; offending them could really lead to dire consequences!
“Celine, the truth is, we were only together for our own benefit; there was no real affection between us. You know that, don't you? I'm not someone you can entrust your life to, so please don't force us anymore. Let's both let go of the past and give each other a break.”
His gaze slowly turned to the window, as if the world outside could give him some courage and strength, and he continued,
"I once deeply hurt someone who was truly sincere to me in order to protect the Xie family's interests. From that moment on, I vowed never to be with anyone for the sake of profit again. And the same applies to you and me. So, Celine, let's get a divorce."
Fu Silin listened to Xie Huaijin's words with an incredulous expression.
She never expected that Xie Huaijin would so resolutely propose a divorce at this time.
"Divorce? You make it sound so easy! We both got married willingly, and now you're just saying you want a divorce?" Her voice was laced with barely suppressed anger.
Xie Huaijin seemed a little guilty; he quickly turned his face away, not daring to look Fu Silin in the eye.
“Celine, I really don’t want to keep making mistakes. We’re not right for each other, and we won’t be happy if we force ourselves to be together.”
"Xie Huaijin, I admit that at first, I only came up with this plan to appease my family. I thought you were a suitable person for a fake marriage, since we didn't have much of an emotional foundation between us. However, as time went by, I gradually realized that I had developed real feelings for you."
She took a deep breath and continued, "You might find this absurd, but it's true. I initially thought this feeling was just a passing impulse that would fade away after a while. However, as I realized my feelings for you were growing deeper, I understood that this wasn't just a passing impulse, but a genuine feeling of being moved."
"So, what do you think I'm here for? I'm not kidding you."
However, Xie Huaijin's reaction disappointed and saddened her. His indifference and decisiveness made her realize that he might not feel the same way she did about the relationship.
"Since you're so resolute, let me tell you, I won't get a divorce easily. You want to elope with your Joey? Let me tell you, you're dreaming!"
Her voice carried a hint of anger and resentment.
After saying that, she turned around and walked quickly out of the ward, leaving Xie Huaijin standing there, looking bewildered.
Her steps were unsteady, as if the whole world had collapsed at that moment.
After returning to the car, Fu Silin could no longer hold back her tears.
After a while, she wiped away her tears, gripped the steering wheel, and stared at the mirror in front of her.
"No one can take away the person I've chosen!"
