Chapter 199: As long as I want, the name isn't a problem

Qiao Sheng's expression paused.

After coming to her senses, she looked at Shi Lin and said, "Shi Lin, this joke isn't funny at all; don't think that just because you say this, I'll change my mind."

"I didn't."

Shi Lin suddenly grabbed Qiao Sheng's hand and placed it on his own chest: "Do you feel it? It's beating, and when facing you it beats faster than usual."

He only noticed this today.

Qiao Sheng wanted to pull her hand back.

Shi Lin held on, not letting go: "If you don't believe me, you can ask An Jiu and the others, you can go ask the people of the Imperial Capital—what kind of person I am. Am I the sort who, upon seeing a woman, just… messes around…"

He was suddenly this serious.

This made Qiao Sheng feel unaccustomed.

Qiao Sheng glared at him: "Are you looking to get kicked again?"

Shi Lin didn't let go, and instead moved closer: "If you don't want your happiness for the rest of your life to be gone, then go ahead and kick."

He really can say anything.

Qiao Sheng struggled a bit but still couldn't break free; she said, "Let go or not—if you don't let go, I'll call for help!"

"Shout!"

Shi Lin threw caution to the wind: "It'd be perfect if you called your parents over; then I could tell them I'm actually your former husband, and then your mom probably wouldn't say anything else…"

Qiao Sheng: "!"

"Dog man!"

Qiao Sheng snorted and said: "You say it is, so it is? Don't forget you look different now; you think just because you say it, my parents will believe you?"

"That's not necessarily true."

Shi Lin said this with full confidence.

Qiao Sheng couldn't stand seeing him like that.

She replied to him: "Even if it's not certain, I've already divorced you."

"Unilaterally."

Shi Lin raised his eyebrows.

Is he that easily brushed off?

Qiao Sheng said calmly: "My husband isn't called Shi Lin; he's called Ligouzi. Are you Ligouzi? Do you go by that name?"

Shi Lin slowly released Qiao Sheng's hand and said: "As long as I want, the name isn't a problem."

He really is crazy!

Qiao Sheng stopped paying attention to Shi Lin; she went aside to pour water and drink.

Shi Lin followed over: "Qiao Sheng, you'll eventually come to like me."

Where does he get his confidence?

Can't you see how much she dislikes him now?

Qiao Sheng raised her brows and said: "Young Master Shi, confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence isn't; overconfidence is arrogance, you overestimate yourself, you'll fall short of expectations, and later you'll suffer."

"You haven't given me a chance, Qiao Sheng, so how do you know there won't be such a day?"

Shi Lin stared at Qiao Sheng and said.

Qiao Sheng was speechless.

"Why should I give you a chance? You yourself swore up and down that I'll someday like you, and I'm supposed to help you? Is there anyone like that in the world?"

"Fine!"

"The opportunity is for him to seize himself."

Shi Lin then went to find Shi Jin and Shi Ren: "Shi Jin, Shi Ren, do you still want to keep living at your Aunt Qiao's place?"

"Uncle San, what do you mean by that?"

Shi Ren asked.

Shi Jin and he spoke at the same time: "Uncle San, do we even need to ask?"

Shi Lin picked out the parts he could say from what Qiao Sheng had said earlier and told them.

Without waiting for them to say anything.

Shi Lin then said: "I can't change Qiao Sheng's mind; now it's up to you to fight for it. If she's unwilling to let you stay here, you'll have to leave with me tomorrow."

"I don't want to!"

"I'll go tell Aunt Qiao."

Shi Jin ran off to find Qiao Sheng.

Shi Ren didn't go; his gaze fell on Shi Lin as he asked: "Uncle San, Aunt Qiao never told us about this before—how could she suddenly let you take us away?"
