Chapter 1845: Splitting Hairs

Su Qiangying had originally fallen ill due to a surge of anger combined with catching a cold.

However, she was young and had a strong constitution, so she recovered almost completely after a few days in the hospital.

Her mother-in-law came on the day she was discharged, along with Su Qiangying's parents; Moli didn't dare show his face, but when she returned home, she was furious.

The newly rented small apartment had been tidied up until it was spotless, with all items placed in their original order; she could find whatever she needed at a touch, which meant that although this house was newly rented, it held little significance.

Everything looked just as it had before, and there were traces of Moli everywhere in the house.

How detestable; how could this person come into her house without her permission?

Where did he get the key?

The answer was obvious: her own parents must have given it to him.

Unable to contain her anger, she called Moli to scold him: "Sheng Moli, you've gone too far. Without my permission, who told you to go into my house?"

Moli replied righteously: "We are a legal married couple; even if this house is rented by you, I have the right to enter, don't I? Besides, I didn't mess with your things, I just helped you tidy up the room. If you don't like it, I won't touch anything next time."

There's a next time?

Su Qiangying raised her voice and gave a stern warning: "Just this once, let this be the only time. You are never allowed to come to my house again."

"Alright, don't be angry, I'll listen to you."

He promised well enough, but he came again that afternoon, bringing quite a few daily necessities and some soup he had simmered.

Su Qiangying was very angry: "Didn't I tell you not to come? Why are you here again?"

"I'm here to return the key, and I brought some things for you while I was at it."

"Give me the key, and you don't need to leave the things; take them away."

"Look, I've already bought them, and these are all things you can use. If I take them away, you'll just have to buy them again. If you don't want to have any entanglements with me, you can just give me the money."

Su Qiangying thought about it and felt that was acceptable.

She could treat Sheng Moli as an errand boy; this idea worked!

"How much money?"

"The receipt is in the bag."

She flipped through it casually, and the shopping receipt was indeed in the bag, a long strip with a total price of 363 yuan at the bottom.

She took 500 from her wallet and handed it over: "The rest counts as your errand fee."

Moli beamed as he pocketed the money, then diligently handed over the thermal container as well: "That's too much, it doesn't cost that much. This is squab soup; consider it the change."

"No need, keep it."

She didn't accept it, turned around, and entered the room, slamming the door shut with a "Bang!"

Although the door was closed, her stomach growled uncooperatively; she was hungry.

After being discharged from the hospital, her body needed to recover, and she got hungry very quickly.

She ordered takeout, and this time the delivery was exceptionally fast, arriving in just over ten minutes.

The takeout actually included squab soup, even though she clearly hadn't ordered it.

She was about to go crazy; how could this person be like a lingering ghost?

This was just the beginning. The next day, as Su Qiangying was preparing to go to work, she ran into Moli downstairs. Moli greeted her with a smile: "Hi! What a coincidence!"

Coincidence my foot; this guy must have been waiting downstairs on purpose, waiting for her.

She didn't give Moli a pleasant look and didn't even acknowledge him, striding toward her workplace.

The house she rented was near the research institute, so she didn't need to take a bus or drive to work; she could just walk there.

Moli and Su Qiangying worked at the same unit, in the same building.

It was hard to avoid running into each other, but it wasn't easy to "coincidentally" meet a dozen times a day either.

Moli would always appear by her side when she least expected it, appearing and disappearing like a phantom.

He tried every method to coax his wife into a good mood, but Su Qiangying never paid him any mind.

Finally, Moli couldn't take it anymore and asked aggrievedly: "Why do you always ignore me? Do you know that being like this is very impolite?"

"I don't need to be polite to you, you liar."

"You're wrong to say that. How did I lie to you? At most, I just didn't disclose my entire past; that doesn't make me a liar."

Moli's eloquence was definitely not as good as Zichen and Zihan's, but it was enough to deal with Su Qiangying.

Su Qiangying was too angry to let it go and immediately retorted: "Concealment is deception, how is it not? It counts."

"Fine, fine, fine, whatever you say counts, just don't be angry." He compromised again.

"I won't be angry if we get a divorce; let's go tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is the weekend."

"Fine, then we'll go on Monday. If you don't go, you're a dog."

"Woof, woof, woof..."

Su Qiangying:...

She stopped and said very seriously to Moli: "If you don't go, I will never talk to you again. I mean what I say!"

It seemed she was determined to get a divorce, so Moli had no choice but to play the disappearing act.

This guy really didn't appear in front of Su Qiangying for three whole days, and even when they accidentally bumped into each other, he would pretend not to know her and run away.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.

Litian and Lu Feifei's child reached the one-month milestone, and they held a full-month banquet.

Su Qiangying went too; not only did she go, but she also gave a pair of gold bracelets as a gift for the child.

Back then, Lu Feifei had gone into premature labor because of her, and she had always felt indebted; Su Qiangying couldn't owe others favors, so she had to find an opportunity to repay it.

She arrived relatively early, and the other guests hadn't arrived yet.

The bedroom was filled with the scent of milk, and the room was hung with all sorts of small baby clothes. The little girl was pink and tender, her large eyes like two black grapes. She wasn't shy even when seeing a stranger, opening her toothless little mouth to smile at Su Qiangying, and Su Qiangying liked her immensely.

"Oh my, you are too cute."

"Second Sister-in-law, can I hold her?"

Lu Feifei said softly, "Of course you can."

The baby, who had just turned one month old, was still too small, and her body was all soft; one had to support her spine and cervical vertebrae when holding her.

Lu Feifei demonstrated it for her once, but Su Qiangying backed away: "Forget it, I'd better not hold her. She is so small, I'm afraid of hurting her."

She didn't dare to hold her, yet she stared at the child without blinking; she truly liked her, liked her immensely.

Lu Feifei smiled and said to her, "If you like daughters so much, you two should have one."

The smile vanished from Su Qiangying's face, and her mood became dejected; Lu Feifei noticed such an obvious change at a glance.

"What's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with Moli?"

This past month, she had been in confinement, and people in confinement are most afraid of getting angry or worrying and tiring themselves out.

Everyone had reached a tacit understanding and had not told her about the current situation between Moli and Su Qiangying at all, so she knew nothing.

Now Su Qiangying told the truth: "Second Sister-in-law, I am going to divorce Moli; we are finished."

She was greatly shocked and asked, "Why? You aren't still dwelling on that matter, are you?"

"Yes, I can't stand that he was once with such a rotten person. Whenever I think about the things they once did together, and that that person also did them with me, I feel dirty, incredibly dirty..."

"Regardless of whether it's a man or a woman, one must be devoted to each other; being together without the intention of getting married is just being a hooligan..."
