"What did you say?"

When Liu Mei Qi heard Wang Erhai say he wanted a divorce, she was stunned, thinking she had misheard.

She had thought she had Wang Erhai under her control.

Back at their hometown in Shanggou Village that morning, Wang Erhai had been completely subdued by her, willingly kneeling to apologize.

"I say, let's get a divorce."

Wang Erhai's tone remained calm, and he added:

"Whatever you want, just say it. As long as it's not too much, I'll agree. Let's part on good terms."

Hearing this, Liu Mei Qi widened her eyes, sizing Wang Erhai up from head to toe, her face full of disbelief.

She smelled a different aura on Wang Erhai, one more terrifying than when he used to scold or beat her.

A vague sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

"Wang Erhai, don't joke with me. Why divorce all of a sudden? Weren't we still planning to have a child?"

Liu Mei Qi was clearly starting to panic.

"No joke. Since we haven't bought a house or car together, haven't had a child, and aren't too deeply entangled yet, let's just get divorced."

Wang Erhai's emotions remained very calm.

But the calmer he was, the more it showed he was serious.

Like a business deal—stating facts, negotiating terms, discussing benefits—with no emotion mixed in whatsoever.

The little affection he had for Liu Mei Qi had all vanished like smoke when she made him kneel that morning.

"Who says you can just ask for a divorce? I never asked for one. Do you even deserve to ask?"

Liu Mei Qi shouted angrily.

Even now, she was still competing, still acting out, still fighting over who was right or wrong.

"Fine, then you bring it up. I'm waiting for you to bring it up."

Wang Erhai's heart was already dead as ash; he had nothing more to say.

"You bring it up. Bring it up now, and you set the terms."

Seeing Wang Erhai's reaction, Liu Mei Qi felt as if she had punched with all her might, only to hit cotton.

"You want me to bring it up? I won't. Wang Erhai, I'm telling you, you'll never easily divorce me!"

Liu Mei Qi was still competing.

Not just competing, either.

At least she truly didn't want to lose Wang Erhai.

Deep down, she knew that with her own conditions, finding a man like Wang Erhai was already quite good.

After all, Wang Erhai was now a semi-successful person in this small county town, with property and connections.

"You won't bring it up? Then I'll file for divorce."

Wang Erhai no longer cared about Liu Mei Qi's emotions.

In the past, Liu Mei Qi's unreasonableness would at least make him angry; now it was different—he couldn't even get angry.

"I'm moving out today. I've lived in your house long enough. Name your price for rent and utilities, and I'll pay."

Wang Erhai turned to pack his things.

"Is this about rent and utilities? I've been with you so long—what is this affection worth?"

Liu Mei Qi stood up, grabbed Wang Erhai, and stopped him from packing.

Wang Erhai shook off her hand decisively, as clean and sharp as a killer's knife cutting through:

"How much is this affection worth? Name your price."

Wang Erhai said these words flatly.

He now only wanted to quickly sever ties with Liu Mei Qi, clear everything up, and start a new life.

If he stayed with Liu Mei Qi, he felt he would go crazy too.

"Slap!"

Liu Mei Qi raised her hand and slapped Wang Erhai hard.

"Wang Erhai, are you even a man? I never cheated, I never did anything wrong to you. Why must we divorce!"

Liu Mei Qi shouted frantically.

She was angry and wronged.

She was also unwilling to accept it.

But Wang Erhai remained calm, like a dead man; Liu Mei Qi's slap still couldn't stir any emotion in him.

A heart dead as ash—nothing more than this.

"Wait a while. When you receive the divorce summons, remember to appear."

Wang Erhai finished speaking and turned to pack his things.

Seeing him like this, Liu Mei Qi panicked even more.

She knew that no matter how she quarreled or made a scene, she could never win Wang Erhai back.

So she changed her attitude on the spot, followed Wang Erhai into the room, and hugged him from behind:

"Husband, don't go, okay? I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

In the past, no matter what happened, as long as Liu Mei Qi apologized, Wang Erhai would reconcile with her.

But this time was different.

Wang Erhai forcefully pried open her arms hugging him, then continued packing his things.

"Husband, I really know I was wrong, I'm willing to do whatever you want, don't go, okay?"

Liu Mei Qi cried and hugged him again, even taking the initiative to kiss Wang Erhai.

Wang Erhai dodged her face, pushed her away forcefully again, then continued packing his things.

Actually, there wasn't much of his stuff in this room, just some clothes for changing.

"Husband, say something, I really know I was wrong, will you forgive me? It's very late now, don't go, I'll cook for you."

Liu Mei Qi no longer had her former arrogance, nor did she act up like before; instead, she became very humble, humble to the dust.

The reason she acted up before was because she knew Wang Erhai wouldn't leave her.

The reason she was humble now was because she knew Wang Erhai really wanted to leave.

"I'm not hungry."

Wang Erhai pushed Liu Mei Qi away again.

The speed of his hands packing things became even faster than before.

He now only wanted to leave here as soon as possible; besides that, he had no other thoughts.

"Not hungry? If not hungry then we won't eat, let's go take a shower together. We've been rushing around Shanggou Village all day, it's time to take a shower. I'll put baby body wash on you, okay?"

Liu Mei Qi hugged him again, her sobbing voice humbly pleading.

"Don't say anything more, let's part on good terms!"

Wang Erhai finally finished packing his things, put them into a suitcase, and dragged the suitcase, wanting to leave here as if fleeing.

Liu Mei Qi chased after him and grabbed the suitcase tightly, not letting him leave:

"Don't go, okay? I'll change in the future, don't abandon me, okay?"

Seeing Wang Erhai was about to leave, Liu Mei Qi was really afraid.

"Let go!"

Wang Erhai pulled and tugged the suitcase hard, pulling several times, but actually couldn't pull it free from Liu Mei Qi's hands.

From this it can be seen that Liu Mei Qi really didn't want him to leave.

But Wang Erhai's determination to leave was not something she could easily hold back.

"You like this suitcase that much, right? Then I'll give it to you!"

Wang Erhai let go, didn't even want the suitcase, turned around and left.

Liu Mei Qi was directly stunned.

Her legs went soft and she sat down on the floor.

Watching Wang Erhai's determined back.

Her head was in a mess like a pot of congee.

"Wang Erhai, come back to me!"

Liu Mei Qi cried out loudly at the living room door.

But what she got in return was Wang Erhai's ruthless sound of closing the door.

He just left like that, really left.

Liu Mei Qi felt everything was like a nightmare, unreal.

Sudden, absurd, even ridiculous.

Clearly this morning they went back to their hometown to worship the gods for a child, how come by evening they had to divorce?

But the feeling of heartache was so real.
