After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

"I just want to tell you that her matter was merely the trigger for my actions."

His honesty did not diminish Rong Zheng's anger.

She is someone who cannot tolerate even the slightest imperfection.

The presence of sand is simply the presence of sand; it doesn't change because of the size or quantity of the sand.

Rong Zheng pulled her hand away. She had been suppressing her temper, but now that there were no outsiders around, the anger that had been building up inside her burst out. Her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, "That doesn't change the fact that you fought so fiercely for her."

Seeing Rong Zheng's angry expression, Lu Peichuan's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. "Is such a small matter worth getting so angry about?"

"A trivial matter?" Rong Zheng's nose stung with tears. "Lu Peichuan, you beat someone up for another woman, and you think that's a trivial matter? Then what counts as a serious matter? Betrayal? Infidelity?"

Lu Peichuan's face turned cold. "You're making a mountain out of a molehill."

"Am I making a mountain out of a molehill, or is it your behavior that's wrong?" Rong Zheng couldn't hold back her tears and they welled up in her eyes.

Lu Peichuan's expression grew increasingly grim. He pinched the bridge of his nose, looking like he didn't want to argue with her. "You're not calm right now. I don't want to fight with you."

His reaction made Rong Zheng feel like an unreasonable shrew.

She wanted to calm down, but too many emotions were building up inside, making it impossible for her to calm down. "You're so calm now, but why weren't you this calm when you were hitting me?"

Rong Zheng didn't want to cry, but she couldn't stop the tears from falling.

This was the first time Lu Peichuan had seen Rong Zheng cry like this, and his heart softened instantly. He took her hand again and coaxed her softly, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. Don't cry, it hurts me."

He should have just kept trying to comfort her, because the tears flowed even more freely. "You don't care about her at all. You care about Su Qingya. You hit someone for her sake when you saw another man bullying her."

Lu Peichuan suppressed his temper and continued to coax her, "Okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Don't cry." As he spoke, he reached out to wipe Rong Zheng's tears.

Rong Zheng turned her head away, "If you really know you were wrong, then don't have any more contact with Su Qingya."

Lu Peichuan's hand froze in mid-air. His patience wore thin, and his brows furrowed again. "We're in the same circle. We're bound to run into each other all the time. How can you expect me to avoid it?"

"So you still don't want to keep your distance from her?"

"This isn't a matter of willingness..."

"It's a matter of willingness!"

Lu Peichuan glanced at Rong Zheng for a few seconds, then, finding her somewhat unreasonable, sat back down in his chair.

Just then, his phone rang.

Through her tear-blurred vision, Rong Zheng saw Lu Peichuan take out his phone; the caller ID showed Manager Wang.

For some reason, she felt a bit resistant to this Manager Wang.

He's been appearing between her and Lu Peichuan far too often lately; it feels like he's always there.

The planning department manager was looking for Lu Peichuan even more often than Xue Bai, the president's assistant.

Rong Zheng felt annoyed whenever she saw Manager Wang's phone number, so she pushed open the car door and got out.

As she walked around the front of the car toward the villa, she saw Lu Peichuan answer a phone call.

As soon as Rong Zheng entered the villa, she heard the sound of an engine starting outside. She stopped and the engine sound faded away quickly.

Ah!

He just left like that.

Rong Zheng tilted her head slightly, forcing back the tears welling up in her eyes again, and went upstairs into her room.

She took out her medical books, trying to distract herself, but after several attempts, she couldn't concentrate at all.

She simply put down the book, lay on the bed, and let her thoughts wander.

All that flashed through my mind were memories of Lu Peichuan and Su Qingya.

Her due date was approaching, and he lied to her, saying he was going to Ancheng on a business trip. In reality, he was accompanying Su Qingya's son in the hospital, which caused her to have a severe hemorrhage, almost resulting in the death of both her and her unborn child.

On the day of their daughter's one-month celebration, he was nowhere to be seen, but instead he was celebrating with Su Qingya's son.

When his daughter held her belated one-month celebration, he was dressed disheveled and taking care of Su Qingya, who was taking Chinese medicine, in the lounge. He even carried her to the hospital in full view of everyone.

He, who is usually emotionally stable, got into a fight with someone for Su Qingya...

Everything seemed to be understandable, but each and every one of these incidents was like a barb stuck in Rong Zheng's heart. If you didn't touch it, it wouldn't hurt, but if you touched it even slightly, it would hurt so much that you could hardly breathe.

He was so busy that he didn't have time to accompany her during her pregnancy, didn't have time to reply to her messages, didn't have time to answer her calls, and didn't have time to visit her and their daughter at the postpartum care center.

Yet he still had time to get entangled with Su Qingya.

And you say she's making a mountain out of a molehill?

Rong Zheng raised her hand, covering her eyes with the back of her hand. Tears streamed down her cheeks like a stream, quickly disappearing into her hair.

Soon my ear was soaked.

Just as Rong Zheng was trapped in her sorrowful mood, her phone rang.

She wiped away her tears, picked up her phone, and saw that it was Luo Qinghe calling. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before answering the call.

"The matter with the police station has been resolved."

Rong Zheng gave a soft "hmm".

"Are you and Lu Peichuan alright?"

Rong Zheng stared silently at a certain point in the void.

"Zhengzheng?" Luo Qinghe's voice was filled with worry.

"I want a divorce." This was Rong Zheng's true thought at that moment, and it was the first time she had such a thought.

"Did you and Lu Peichuan have a fight?"

"Um."

"You're angry right now, and you're just saying things out of anger. Once you calm down, talk to him properly. Although he went a bit too far this time, I don't think it's warranted a divorce."

Is it really necessary to get a divorce?

Seems to be.

He was just entangled with Su Qingya, but he didn't betray her or commit any fundamental mistakes.

But... "I feel very tired."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end. "You should rest and calm down. Think about the good times you had together, think about Tangtang. If you still have this idea tomorrow, then I'll be your divorce lawyer."

"……good."

During dinner, Xu Ma asked Rong Zheng, "Madam, should we call President Lu and ask if he's coming home for dinner?"

"No need, he's not replying."

Forget about dinner, I doubt he'll even go home tonight.

The phrases "Manager Wang is looking for him" and "staying out all night" seem to have become a combination of phrases.

That evening, after Rong Zheng finished washing up, she went to the children's room and said, "Aunt Xu, I'll take Tangtang to sleep with me from now on."

Xu Ma was not in favor of it and advised, "Madam, it will affect your relationship with President Lu if you sleep in separate rooms."

Lately, Lu Peichuan has been frequently staying out all night. What's the difference between her sleeping alone and sleeping in a separate room? "It's okay, go to sleep."

Xu Ma was just a maid after all, so she couldn't say anything more. She only said, "I sleep next door. Madam, please call me anytime if you need anything at night."

"it is good."

Xu Ma turned and left.

Rong Zheng lay down beside her daughter, gazing at her rosy cheeks, and the words Luo Qinghe had spoken flashed through her mind: 'Think of Tangtang.'

Finally, he let out a heavy sigh.

My daughter is so young, how can I let her live without a father?

Let's just live with it.

Rong Zheng just didn't expect her to change her mind so quickly.
