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

Lu Peichuan thought he had misheard. "What did you say?"

Rong Zheng said, enunciating each word clearly, "We are getting a divorce."

Lu Peichuan frowned, his expression incredulous. "Just because Tangtang is sick and I couldn't get there in time, you want me to divorce her?"

"no……"

Before Rong Zheng could finish speaking, Lu Peichuan interrupted her, "Zhengzheng, you weren't this unreasonable before. Marriage isn't a game. Don't say things like that again."

Is she being unreasonable?

"Lu Peichuan, how dare you say such a thing?"

"Yes, Tangtang was sick and had surgery, and I wasn't able to get there in time. It was my fault, but it's a fact now, and I've apologized and admitted my mistake. What more do you want?"

Do you think I'd divorce you because of this?

Lu Peichuan's heart skipped a beat, a hint of panic creeping in, but his face remained impassive. "What's the reason?"

"Madam, I've got it..." Xu Ma carried large and small bags to the ward door. Seeing Lu Peichuan there, she immediately greeted him, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Peichuan nodded slightly.

Rong Zheng walked over and took the things from Xu Ma's hands.

Aunt Xu stepped aside, saying, "I'll take care of these. You and Mr. Lu should spend more time with Miss." With that, she took the things and went to the wardrobe to organize them.

Rong Zheng turned and walked towards the door of the ward.

Lu Peichuan grabbed her arm. "Where are you going?"

Rong Zheng ignored him, shook off his hand, and left the ward.

Lu Peichuan stood there, staring blankly in the direction Rong Zheng had left.

Seeing the young couple like this, Xu Ma guessed that they had quarreled because Tangtang was sick and Lu Peichuan hadn't come. She carefully said, "Mr. Lu, Madam is really frightened this time. Please comfort her."

Upon hearing Xu Ma's words, Lu Peichuan's unease vanished; Rong Zheng was indeed angry with him because of their daughter.

He nodded. "Mm."

Rong Zheng went to the doctor's office and asked the doctor how long Tangtang needed to stay in the hospital.

The doctor said Tangtang had a minimally invasive surgery, and depending on the recovery, it would generally take three to five days.

Then she asked about some post-operative precautions, wrote them down one by one, and then returned to the ward to sit by her daughter's bedside.

Three days later, the doctor checked and said that Tangtang was recovering well and could be discharged from the hospital. The doctor also gave some instructions on home care.

For the past three days, Lu Peichuan hasn't gone to the company; he's been staying at the hospital with Tangtang. Assistant Xue has been delivering urgent company documents directly to Lu Peichuan's room for him to sign.

He was gentle and considerate to Rong Zheng, speaking to her kindly, peeling fruit for her, serving her soup and food at meals... Even when Rong Zheng ignored him completely, he wasn't angry at all.

Rong Zheng knew that Lu Peichuan probably thought she was just angry about her daughter. He believed that if he apologized and coaxed her, she would forgive him.

But she just wanted to wait until her daughter was discharged from the hospital and returned home before confronting him.

After being discharged from the hospital and returning home, Rong Zheng settled her daughter in, asked Xu Ma to watch over her, and then turned to Lu Peichuan behind her, saying, "Let's talk."

Lu Peichuan nodded with a gentle expression.

Rong Zheng walked out of the children's room and into the bedroom. She took a document from the small bookshelf where she kept her medical books and sat down on the sofa.

Lu Peichuan sat down next to Rong Zheng and reached out to take her hand.

Rong Zheng moved aside, sitting a little further away to create distance between them, and then handed the document to Lu Peichuan.

Lu Peichuan asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Rong Zheng didn't answer, but simply handed the document to him.

Lu Peichuan took the document, opened it, and saw the words "Divorce Agreement" in large characters. His face instantly darkened. Without even reading the contents, he slammed the agreement on the coffee table. "How long are you going to keep making a scene?"

Rong Zheng looked calmly at Lu Peichuan, her voice flat, "I'm not making a scene, I'm serious. Take a look at the contents of the agreement, and sign it if you agree."

"Rong Zheng, when did you become so petty? As for our daughter, I've already..."

Rong Zheng interrupted Lu Peichuan calmly, "You cheated on me."

Lu Peichuan's impatience froze for a moment. After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, he looked at Rong Zheng with an expression of distrust and accusation. "Did you see some rumors about me online again, or did you hear gossip from someone? Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"I didn't really see what kind of person you were before, but now..." Rong Zheng paused, a faint sneer curving her lips, "I see you very clearly. My decision to divorce you is not impulsive or a spur-of-the-moment thing, but a well-thought-out one."

Lu Peichuan asked incredulously, "You've wanted a divorce from me for a long time?"

"Yes." Rong Zheng nodded. "Lu Peichuan, let's part ways amicably, shall we?"

Lu Peichuan picked up the divorce agreement from the coffee table, tore it to shreds in a few quick movements, and looked at Rong Zheng with angry yet resolute eyes, "I will not divorce you!"

Rong Zheng and Lu Peichuan stared at each other silently for a few seconds, then Rong Zheng sighed, took out her phone, tapped it a few times, and then looked at Lu Peichuan, "I sent you something, take a look."

Lu Peichuan opened his phone and Rong Zheng sent him a video. He opened the video and saw that it showed him kissing Su Qingya in the bamboo forest of Yunqi Villa.

His expression changed drastically, shock, panic, and confusion swirling in his eyes, but he quickly concealed them. When he looked up at Rong Zheng, only an absurd smile remained in his eyes. "Who sent you this video? You don't believe it's real, do you?"

"Are you saying the video was digitally manipulated?"

"Isn't it obvious? You fell ill as soon as you arrived in Beijing, and I've been with you at the hospital the whole time. How could I have had time to see anyone else?"

Rong Zheng hadn't expected Lu Peichuan to be so adept at lying through his teeth. Too lazy to argue with him, she simply said, "The video wasn't sent to me by someone else; I filmed it myself."

The implication was that she witnessed them kissing.

Lu Peichuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared blankly at Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng continued, "Manager Wang is Su Qingya. You've been with her for a long time."

Lu Peichuan gripped his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He hadn't expected that she even knew this.

Rong Zheng met his gaze without flinching, perhaps because this scene had been rehearsed countless times in her mind, or perhaps because she had completely given up on this marriage, so she remained calm throughout.

After a brief moment of panic, Lu Peichuan calmed down and tentatively asked, "When did you first find out?"

To accept the facts so quickly, as expected of President Lu who has been through thick and thin in the business world, his temperament is beyond reproach. "Does it matter? The length of time is meaningless to me. You betrayed me, even if it was only once, I will never forgive you."

Lu Peichuan looked at Rong Zheng in silence. It seemed she didn't know about that matter yet, otherwise she wouldn't have remained silent. There was still room for maneuver. "I will not divorce you."

Rong Zheng was surprised that even after all this talk and with the evidence right in front of him, he still had this attitude. She said coldly, "I will reprint a divorce agreement, sign it, and give it to you. If you still have this attitude, then we will take legal action."
