On the day of the divorce, I became Qin Shao's darling.

"Weiwei, let's get a divorce."

At their fourth wedding anniversary candlelight dinner, Su Yunfan arrived late and dropped a bombshell as soon as he sat down.

Lin Xiwei was stunned, staring at him in disbelief. "Why?"

Su Yunfan paused for a moment before saying, "Xiao Rou is back, she needs me."

"Zhong Yurou?" Lin Xiwei was full of doubt. "Wasn't she married a long time ago? She already has two children, how could she..."

Her husband's white moonlight, Zhong Yurou, broke up with him abruptly five years ago and whirlwind married a wealthy second-generation overseas Chinese. After the marriage, they settled in Australia.

This is a pain in his heart that he can never heal.

They were classmates in college. According to their mutual friends, a couple of years ago, Zhong Yurou had already given birth to her second child, a son and a daughter, and her husband was rich. She lived a luxurious and enjoyable life and could be called a winner in life.

But why did she suddenly return to China? And why did she contact her ex-boyfriend whom she had dumped?

Su Yunfan was quite frank and honestly confessed: "Xiao Rou's ex-husband was abusive and a drug addict. They divorced six months ago. Her son lives with him, and she takes her daughter with her. The mother and daughter returned to China, all alone and helpless..."

"Six months ago?" Lin Xiwei was surprised again, but quickly realized, "So you've been secretly seeing each other for at least six months?"

"No, we're just in contact. I didn't cheat on you, you know... I'm powerless to help you."

Su Yunfan looked extremely embarrassed when he said this.

The greatest shame of his life was that he could not be a real man.

Lin Xiwei pursed her lips, unable to describe the feeling in her heart.

In fact, her best friend Chu Qing had been advising her to get a divorce for the past few years.

Because not long after she married Su Yunfan, she discovered that this young man was impotent.

After much persuasion, Su Yunfan finally agreed to go to the hospital for a full checkup, and the results were worse than she had imagined.

In addition to being unable to have sex, Su Yunfan also suffers from azoospermia.

At that time, Su Yunfan's mother was seriously ill, and her only wish was to hold her grandson.

In order to be a dutiful son, he begged Lin Xiwei to undergo in vitro fertilization, specifically using donor sperm selected from a sperm bank.

Lin Xiwei could not bear to recall the immense suffering she endured.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the child is almost three years old, but Su Yunfan's condition shows no signs of improvement.

Chu Qing is a doctor, and she knows that this disease is incurable.

So I advised her several times to carefully examine this marriage.

After all, to be widowed at such a young age, with a lifetime so long, how agonizing it must be.

However, because Su Yunfan was very family-oriented and dutiful to her and their son, she could never bring herself to take that step.

To my utter surprise, it was the other person who brought up divorce first!

After briefly recalling the grievances and forbearance of the past few years, Lin Xiwei smiled sarcastically: "Does emotional infidelity not count as infidelity?"

Su Yunfan didn't argue, but his expression was resolute: "You can file for divorce. You can take the house, the car, cash, or even company shares."

"Is there no room for maneuver?" Lin Xiwei asked calmly.

Su Yunfan looked at her, seemingly sensing her reluctance to divorce, hesitated for a moment, then shamelessly said, "If you don't mind me bringing Xiaorou and her daughter to live with us, then we can..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xiwei suddenly stood up, picked up the red wine in front of her, and promptly splashed it over.

"Let's get a divorce, split the assets equally, and I'll get custody of the son."

Su Yunfan looked disheveled and lowered his head.

But upon hearing this, he suddenly raised his face and objected: "I have no objection to dividing the family property equally, but Junjun must belong to me."

"Su Yunfan, have you no shame?" Lin Xiwei roared. "Junjun is someone I risked half my life to bring into this world!"

The pain and torment of undergoing in vitro fertilization is truly unforgettable.

Su Yunfan, however, turned cold, speaking in a formulaic tone: "I consulted a lawyer. You are a full-time housewife with no income and are unable to raise a child. Furthermore, since the child was conceived through sperm donation, and considering my inability to have children, even if we go to court, the court will likely favor giving me custody of the child."

Lin Xiwei frowned deeply, staring at him as if he were a stranger.

"So, you were prepared all along, and today was just to inform me." A chill ran through her heart, and she couldn't believe that the person beside her had plotted against her like this.

"Xiwei, you're still young. You can remarry after the divorce and have as many children as you want. But I can't. I only have Junjun as my child." Su Yunfan started to play the victim and appeal to people's emotions.

Speaking of this, Lin Xiwei couldn't help but mock, "You really are no good! You have azoospermia and erectile dysfunction, and you've lived to this age without ever experiencing the pleasures of a woman—what exactly does Zhong Yurou see in you?"

These words attracted the attention of the surrounding guests, and several people turned around with different expressions.

"I think she's just using you as a free ATM, isn't she? She's only good to her daughter because you can't have children," Lin Xiwei added sarcastically.

Su Yunfan said calmly, "Xiao Rou doesn't know these things."

"Ha!" Lin Xiwei's sneer intensified. "So you weren't satisfied with just lying to me, you had to lie to your white moonlight too. Suddenly I feel better."

Su Yunfan, unable to save face and suppressing his anger, said, "Xi Wei, that's enough! We were husband and wife, I haven't treated you badly. Let's part amicably. What's the point of this?"

"Of course it's interesting." Lin Xiwei was furious and didn't care whether others were watching the show or not, she continued to unleash her fury.

"Junjun's child was conceived through sperm donation; biologically, it has absolutely nothing to do with you. If you want a child, let Zhong Yurou find a way to give you one. You're dreaming if you think you can steal the son I worked so hard to give birth to!"

"Xiwei, if you're going to be this forceful, then I'll have no choice but to hire a lawyer and file for divorce," Su Yunfan threatened.

"Fine, you—" Lin Xiwei was about to accept the challenge when her phone rang in her bag.

She took it out and saw that it was a call from the family's housekeeper.

"Hey, Sister Hong..."

"Madam, the young master suddenly has a nosebleed that won't stop. I've had Old Chen drive him to the hospital. Please come quickly with your husband!"

Lin Xiwei thought that today was her wedding anniversary, so she deliberately arranged some time for just the two of them, leaving her son at home with the nanny.

I never expected this to happen.

She panicked and turned to leave, saying, "Okay, I'm coming right now. Contact me anytime if anything happens."

Upon hearing that his son was sick, Su Yunfan immediately got up and chased after Lin Xiwei, pulling her aside.

"Junjun, what's wrong? What happened?"

Lin Xiwei, her eyes red and swollen, lost control of her emotions. She turned around, grabbed her bag, and smashed it down on him. "Go be with your white moonlight! My son's well-being is none of your business!"

Su Yunfan was so dazed by her blow that he couldn't open his eyes. He dodged awkwardly, repeatedly cursing, "Madwoman, madwoman."

Lin Xiwei was worried about her son, so she vented her anger and left.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the nanny, Sister Hong, greeted us and briefly explained the child's condition.

Lin Xiwei's heart was racing, and she had a strange, bad feeling about it.

The doctor came out quickly.

"Mrs. Su, the young master's nosebleed has stopped for now. The preliminary blood test results show that the child has a problem with blood clotting. For safety's sake, it's best to keep him in the hospital for observation and to have a more detailed examination tomorrow," the doctor advised.

Does the person have a problem with blood clotting?

Lin Xiwei's face turned pale, and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, then we'll go to the hospital."

She walked into the emergency room and saw her young son. Her heart ached as if it were being torn apart.

The little guy, who is almost three years old, had bloodstains all over the front of his clothes, a shocking sight.

"Mommy..." Su Chengjun opened his little arms and acted coquettishly.

Lin Xiwei immediately perked up, went over and hugged her son, rubbing his little head: "Baby, were you scared? It's all Mommy's fault, I shouldn't have left you at home."

Su Chengjun looked at his big, dark, bright eyes and said sensibly, "Mom is with me every day, but she should also spend some time with Dad occasionally, otherwise Dad will get jealous."

In the past, Lin Xiwei would have felt very gratified and happy to hear these words.

But at that moment, she only felt heartbroken and mocked.

That seemingly responsible, gentle, and family-oriented good man was all an act.

He still loves the woman who abandoned him, and even if she now asks him to be her fall guy, he'd be happy to do it and can't wait.

Seeing her son looking at her with a smile, Lin Xiwei couldn't help but kiss his little face and praise him with a smile.

Not to brag, but although the little guy's features are still immature and haven't fully developed yet, he has deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and even thick, black hair. You can imagine how handsome he will be when he grows up.

Lin Xiwei had thought countless times that if Su Yunfan could have children, none of their children would be as handsome and good-looking as the one in front of her.

So she was lucky to find a handsome man in the sperm bank.

After completing the hospital admission procedures, Lin Xiwei accompanied her son to the ward when Su Yunfan called.

She glanced at it, didn't answer, and hung up.

But Su Yunfan kept hitting.

Even her son noticed something was wrong and asked her if it was her father calling.

Lin Xiwei had no choice but to coax her son to sleep and then turned and left the ward.

"Hello, what do you want?" she answered coldly.

Over there, Su Yunfan asked anxiously, "How is Junjun? Does he have a cold or fever?"

"You're so concerned, why don't you come to the hospital yourself to get checked out?" It's a shame that his son is so considerate of his father.

Su Yunfan stammered, about to answer, when voices came from the other side.

It was a young girl's voice, calling out "Uncle".

Lin Xiwei guessed what was going on and asked, "You didn't go to be with Zhong Yurou, did you?"

"Um... Xiaorou isn't feeling well, and there's no one to take care of her daughter. I'll go to the hospital to see her after I've settled things here—"

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xiwei hung up abruptly.

A lump of stale air was lodged in her chest, causing her internal organs to spasm and ache.

She still couldn't believe that the perfect husband in other people's eyes had suddenly become so unrecognizable.

Divorce is a must!

She didn't want to maintain this shabby marriage, riddled with holes and crawling with lice, for even a second longer.

But she can throw away the scumbag boyfriend; her son must stay by her side.

If Su Yunfan insists on taking her son, she will expose this bastard's infertility to the world!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Lin Xiwei stayed with her son at the hospital overnight, but Su Yunfan did not show up.

I wonder if Zhong Yurou used some means to keep him here.

But Lin Xiwei didn't have time to worry about that; she took her son to see a doctor again for a thorough examination.

Soon, some of the inspection reports came out.

"Mrs. Su, the test results show a large increase in white blood cells in your blood, and immature cells can be seen under a microscope. This is a very dangerous sign."

The doctor called her over and said with a serious expression.

Lin Xiwei didn't understand what "immature cells" meant, but when she heard that the number of white blood cells had increased significantly, her first reaction was leukemia.

The doctor nodded: "My initial suspicion is leukemia. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Provincial Women and Children's Hospital for a bone marrow biopsy."
