Chapter 3: She Is Willing to Divorce

"Faking it again." Qin Shen sneered contemptuously, looking down at Qin Xingwan on the floor. "Qin Xingwan, you fake a faint when you feel guilty, don't you? Don't forget this is a Yiyuan; the doctors will know as soon as they examine you."

Chu Li picked Qin Xingwan up; she was very light, as if she had no weight at all.

A strange feeling flickered in Chu Li's heart; he had rarely seen her lately and did not know she had actually lost so much weight.

"I'll go call a doctor." Qin Shen was committed to exposing Qin Xingwan's pretense and lifted his foot to walk out.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open by a nurse.

Because Qin Xingwan had suffered a miscarriage and had no family members by her side, the nurse was mindful of changing her IV; at this moment, it happened to be time for Qin Xingwan's bottle of medicine to run out.

The nurse walked over, saw Qin Xingwan's condition and the blood on the back of her hand, her expression changed, and she immediately pressed the button to call for a doctor.

"Doctor, the patient in bed 29 has fainted, she needs emergency treatment."

Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the corridor.

The doctor and several nurses gathered around together.

After examining her, the doctor quickly sent Qin Xingwan to the emergency room.

Outside the door, Chu Li's heart inexplicably skipped a beat and then began to race.

The sound of Qin Shen's indifferent voice came to his ears: "Nurse, she is faking it, you don't need to make such a big fuss."

The nurse said unpleasantly: "Whether she is faking it or not, don't you know better than us?"

Chu Li thought of Qin Xingwan's visibly pale face and asked: "What exactly is wrong with her?"

"Miscarriage." The nurse dropped these two words and hurried into the ward.

A silence fell over the corridor.

It was Qin Yunshu who murmured aloud: "How could Sister have a miscarriage?"

Chu Li stood there blankly; he recalled Qin Xingwan's intense reaction after Qin Shen said those things.

What on earth had happened to her?

Taking out his phone, he sent a message to his assistant, telling the assistant to investigate what happened tonight.

Qin Shen muttered: "How could she have a miscarriage? Could it be that she did it on purpose?"

Chu Li instantly raised his eyes, his gaze staring coldly at Qin Shen.

Qin Shen's whole body stiffened, and he offered a few words of explanation to make up for it: "I just think it's suspicious..."

Qin Yunshu tugged at Qin Shen's arm and whispered: "Big Brother, just say less."

Chu Li's expression was cold and stern, his tall, upright figure full of oppression. "She is my wife. If you continue to speak without restraint, don't blame me for being impolite."

Qin Shen curled his lip, but in the end, he didn't dare to speak.

After about an hour, Qin Xingwan was brought out, and the doctor had stabilized her condition.

The nurse asked: "Who is the patient's family?"

Chu Li said: "I am her husband."

The nurse looked Chu Li up and down, her eyes full of disdain, and instructed: "The patient just had a miscarriage and needs a quiet environment to rest; it is best not to have many people in the ward."

When Qin Xingwan woke up again, she was already in a high-end ward of a private Yiyuan under the Chu Group.

Without needing to think, she knew it was Chu Li's arrangement.

"Does your body still hurt?" Chu Li asked in a low voice, the coldness of yesterday nowhere to be seen.

Qin Xingwan looked up; seeing Chu Li at this moment, her heart still felt empty.

She turned her head slightly to look out the window, restraining the emotions that were beginning to surge again.

Chu Li's voice sounded low and deep, "Xingwan, I am very sorry about what happened last night. If I had known such a thing would happen, I..."

He would definitely have arranged for someone to pick her up.

"Chu Li, the three-year term is almost up." Qin Xingwan's tone was very light, her face turned toward the window, her expression indifferent.

Chu Li stared at Qin Xingwan; his black shirt made him look a bit more gloomy.

Qin Xingwan slowly turned her head to look at Chu Li, her tone level, "There are three months left on the agreement, and the divorce cooling-off period is one month."

When she and Chu Li first married, both were unwilling, so they drew up a three-year agreement; if after three years they still could not cultivate feelings for each other, then they would divorce.

Qin Xingwan mentioning the three-year term now meant she wanted a divorce.

"There will be other children, be strong." Chu Li pursed his thin lips and lowered his head slightly; he was also in pain from losing the child.

But that was an accident.

"I will have children in the future, but the father of the children will definitely not be you." The words in the bottom of Qin Xingwan's heart spilled out naturally.

"Chu Li, Qin Yunshu has returned to the country. If you want to marry her... I am willing to step aside."

"Yun Shu and I are innocent." The gentleness at the corners of Chu Li's mouth was like ripples on water, quickly returning to stillness.

Qin Xingwan did not want to argue about these topics.

After all, Chu Li and Qin Yunshu had indeed not done anything out of line, but she could not stand her husband revolving around another woman.

Even when they lost their child, he had an indifferent appearance.

Perhaps, because the child was not carried in a man's body, a man could not experience that wonderful feeling of blood connection.

Naturally, he could not understand the bone-deep pain after losing a child.

And thus, he could lightly say such cruel words as "there will be other children."

"I didn't say you weren't innocent, it's just that Qin Yunshu is the woman you love in your heart after all. She has returned to the country, so you two can just happen to reunite."

Qin Xingwan thought clearly; if her husband wanted to take care of another woman, she, as his wife, was willing to fulfill that.

"I said, Yun Shu and I are innocent." A trace of coldness leaked from the corners of Chu Li's eyes. He paused, then said again, "I know you are very sad about suddenly losing the child, but that has nothing to do with Yun Shu."

Qin Yunshu began to cough softly, her eye sockets gradually turning red.

Her chest felt painfully tight.

"Xingwan."

"I am a pregnant woman, you know that." Qin Xingwan interrupted Chu Li, her almond-shaped eyes cold and mocking.

"You were afraid I would disturb you two, so you refused to answer my calls, and in the end, you even set your phone to silent, didn't you?" Qin Xingwan stated what Chu Li had done, word by word.

This was her guess, but it was likely very close to the truth.

Originally, she did not want to expose these things, but Chu Li kept repeating how innocent Qin Yunshu was, and she was tired of hearing it.

Chu Li fell silent, his lips pressed together, because Qin Xingwan's guess was nearly accurate; when he saw Qin Xingwan's call, he had indeed thought she was trying to stir up trouble again, so he had set his phone to silent.

Now, he felt regret in his heart as well.

"The matter has already happened, what is the use of saying these things." Chu Li did not want a war of words.

He turned and walked outside, "You rest, I am going back to handle some matters."

The hospital room door closed.

The air grew quiet.

Qin Xingwan curled her lips into a smile, but sadness spread in the depths of her eyes.

Soon, someone delivered a new phone, as the previous one had been ruined in the heavy rain, and the SIM card had been replaced.

Opening the phone, messages popped up one after another.

There were expressions of concern and also interrogations; Qin Xingwan tossed the phone aside and did not reply to a single message.

Having slept for most of the day, she felt much better when she woke up.

At six o'clock, the phone rang with a ding-ding-ding.

It was a call from her good friend Lin Qingya.

She answered: "Qingya."

Lin Qingya's lowered voice came through: "Xingwan, why didn't you come to the Perfume Conference?"

Qin Xingwan sat up from the bed instantly, which caused a wave of pain to ripple through her body.

After steadying herself, she thought of her current state and smiled bitterly: "Something happened, I can't make it."

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds.

Lin Qingya's voice came through again: "Your man is here, with Qin Yunshu by his side; the two are arm-in-arm and very intimate, and also, the clothes on Qin Yunshu... forget it, I'll take a picture for you."
