"Wang Erhai, let's go get our Divorce Certificate."

The next day, Liu Mei Qi found Wang Erhai, and the moment she opened her mouth she said such a Sentence.

Wang Erhai was somewhat bewildered.

Before this, he had brought up divorce several times, but Liu Mei Qi absolutely refused.

He never expected that now Liu Mei Qi would actually take the Initiative to bring up divorce herself.

This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

It was like when he was a child poking at a cricket hole, poking and poking but nothing came out, only for the cricket to suddenly Run Back out on its own.

Although it was unexpected, it was at least somewhat a Good Thing.

"Are you sure you've decided?"

Wang Erhai Asked.

"I've decided."

Liu Mei Qi's reply was full of Determination.

"No regrets?"

Wang Erhai looked at Liu Mei Qi, his gaze carrying Vigilance.

He was afraid that Liu Mei Qi would bring up divorce now, and then later lose her Nerve and Run Back to pester him endlessly.

"No regrets."

Liu Mei Qi's reply remained firm.

"You'd better think it through."

Wang Erhai continued to Ask.

To be honest, before this he had been desperate to divorce but couldn't manage it; now that Liu Mei Qi took the Initiative to bring up divorce, he found himself somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"Where do you get all this nonsense, hurry up and divorce!" Liu Mei Qi was growing Impatient from Wang Erhai's questioning, and she said very stubbornly: "Wang Erhai, I'm telling you, once I divorce you, I'll definitely find someone better!"

Wang Erhai was Noncommittal, only saying:

"Fine, then let's discuss it—what about the child? Why not just abort it?"

Wang Erhai had no feelings for the child in Liu Mei Qi's belly; he felt that if the child was born, it would become a burden for his entire Lifetime, so he suggested aborting it.

It would be better for both sides.

Liu Mei Qi wouldn't have a child, and finding another man would be easier.

If she gave birth, remarriage wouldn't be so easy.

And as for him, Wang Erhai, he wouldn't have to remain entangled with Liu Mei Qi over the child, and could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"You make it sound so easy—it's been several months already, can you still abort it?" Liu Mei Qi spoke with Resentment; she had had enough of Wang Erhai's irresponsible attitude, "I'm having this child, whether you want it or not."

"Then you raise it yourself, and I'll give you Child Support every month."

Wang Erhai voluntarily gave up the child.

"How much?" Liu Mei Qi asked Coldly.

"How much do you want?" Wang Erhai countered.

"Fifteen thousand a month!"

Liu Mei Qi made a Lion's Big Mouth demand.

Wang Erhai laughed:

"You think that's possible?"

"Then how much do you want to give!" Liu Mei Qi got Angry, "Wang Erhai, do you have any conscience at all? No matter what, what's in my belly is your own flesh and blood!"

"Who knows if it's your own flesh and blood."

Wang Erhai countered with this Sentence; what he actually meant to say was, maybe it's your own daughter.

But Liu Mei Qi felt Wang Erhai had offended her:

"If it's not your bastard's, whose else could it be? Don't think I'm so Promiscuous—I haven't had contact with any other man since I've been with you!"

Wang Erhai didn't want to Explain anything, only saying:

"Child Support is five thousand a month."

"No, at least ten thousand."

"Eight thousand, no more. Any more and I'd be better off raising it myself."

"Fine, eight thousand it is! I can't be bothered to Jin Ji Ji Jiao with you!" Liu Mei Qi continued to Ask: "Then how do we divide the marital property?"

But Wang Erhai said:

"Didn't we agree before we got married? After marriage, each manages their own property, so naturally your money is yours and my money is mine."

But Liu Mei Qi said:

"I want three hundred thousand as a divorce settlement! You earn so much money, is it too much for me to ask for this little?"

"You want both a divorce settlement and child support?" Wang Erhai was Displeased, "Do you know what's most Taboo in this world? It's wanting both. And you, Liu Mei Qi, you've always been like this! Which man can stand it!"

"If you won't give it, then child support must be fifteen thousand!"

Liu Mei Qi said with a cold and proud face:

"If you agree to neither, then we won't divorce—I won't have a good time, and you won't either, just watch me torment you to death!"

Wang Erhai forced a laugh:

"So you know you've been tormenting me all along, then? So everything you did before was intentional, right?"

"Stop the nonsense—are you giving it or not?"

Liu Mei Qi pressed her aggressively.

She did not directly answer Wang Erhai's question.

Because even she herself was not clear whether her various behaviors toward Wang Erhai before were intentional or unintentional.

She just, whenever she got angry, could not quite control her emotions.

Once she could not control her emotions, all sorts of sharp and mean words could come out.

"Fine, I'll give you three hundred thousand as a divorce settlement, plus eight thousand a month in child support."

Wang Erhai finally compromised, but added one more sentence:

"The child support will only start being given to you after the child is born."

Liu Mei Qi was also eager to break up with Wang Erhai, so she no longer quibbled over every detail.

"Give the money now, sign the divorce agreement now, and then immediately go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate!"

Wang Erhai drafted a simple divorce agreement, showed it to Liu Mei Qi, both sides felt there was no problem, and then they went together to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the divorce procedures.

The Civil Affairs Bureau was not exactly close to Shanhai Real Estate, but not exactly far either.

Wang Erhai got in the car and said to Liu Mei Qi walking behind him:

"I'll give you a ride there."

Liu Mei Qi gritted her teeth:

"Wang Erhai, I'm telling you, even if I walk there, I will never sit in your car again, let alone—I have my own car!"

After saying that, Liu Mei Qi got into her own car very briskly.

And drove off first.

Wang Erhai gave a dry laugh and said nothing.

He also followed by driving.

On the road, he drove slowly.

While watching the road ahead with both eyes, the corner of his eye couldn't help but glance at the empty passenger seat.

Memories in his mind couldn't help but surge up.

The sweet words he and Liu Mei Qi had said in the car, the fights they had, the kisses they had shared, the taboos they had crossed—all came invading in confusion.

Making Wang Erhai for a moment feel unable to distinguish reality from dream.

Everything was just like a dream.

It was a beautiful dream, and also a nightmare.

Because he had indeed loved, but had also indeed hated.

When they loved, he and Liu Mei Qi stuck together every day.

When they hated, he and Liu Mei Qi fought every day.

This dream, whether beautiful dream or nightmare, should end now.

Only, for some reason, his inner heart suddenly surged with melancholy.

He felt somewhat dispirited and sad.

Wang Erhai had always admonished himself that he did not love Liu Mei Qi, at least now it was impossible to love her anymore.

But why, then, could he not help but feel somewhat sorrowful?

On this several-kilometer journey to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Wang Erhai felt it was somewhat long.

Just like his marriage with Liu Mei Qi, which had lasted less than a year, yet also felt somewhat long.

Perhaps what was long was not the journey, not the time, but everything experienced during this process.

Arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two filed for divorce.

The one responsible for handling the divorce procedures was a middle-aged woman.

She sized up Liu Mei Qi from top to bottom, saw Liu Mei Qi's belly slightly protruding, and asked:

"Are you sure you really want a divorce? Think it over—marriage is no joke!"

Liu Mei Qi said impatiently:

"Why do you have so much to say? When we came to get the marriage certificate, how come none of you said marriage is no joke?"

The middle-aged woman saw Liu Mei Qi was furious, stopped paying attention to Liu Mei Qi, and instead asked Wang Erhai:

"Which of you two was wrong first? The child in her belly—surely it's not yours, right?"

Wang Erhai answered honestly

"The child is mine. I'm not wrong, she's not wrong either. We just can't get along anymore. Our personalities are incompatible."
