After leaving my father and keeping my son, I built my own wealthy family, and my ex-husband's

"I don't love him," Mingyun said calmly. "I've come to realize that I initially fell for him because he saved me on my darkest, most helpless, and most desperate day. I mistook gratitude for attraction, and I viewed him through too thick a lens."

"I was captivated by the radiance I had bestowed upon him."

"I risked my life to go through fire for him, married him, and took care of him, all because I wanted to repay his kindness."

"Later, my perseverance and efforts were to fulfill my responsibilities as a wife, to be true to my conscience, and to live up to your kindness to me."

"And all of this, in essence, has nothing to do with love."

"If there was no love in the first place, then how can there be 'still loving'?"

"I know that love can be cultivated, but I don't want to force myself or force him."

Mingyun's answer greatly surprised Qin Hai.

Every word he uttered was so clear-headed that it startled Qin Hai.

Surprisingly, there was no resentment towards Qin Pinsen between the lines, only a deep-seated self-analysis.

It's important to understand that resentment is also an emotion; having resentment means that you still care.

If there's not even resentment, then there's truly... absolutely no room for maneuver.

Qin Hai had originally thought that if he could discover that Mingyun still had some feelings for Qin Pinsen, whether positive or negative, he would still have a way to deal with it.

It seems there's no other way now.

"Alright..." Qin Hai said helplessly, "At my age, I should understand that what is destined to be lost cannot be kept no matter how hard you try. It's just that my Qin family is not blessed enough, and my son is not good enough for you."

"I will tell Pinsen that I agree to your divorce."

Finally, with Qin Hai's consent, Mingyun felt a weight lifted from her shoulders.

In an instant, even the surrounding air became exceptionally fresh, and the rising sun became even more magnificent.

God knows how happy she is right now!

"Xiaoyun, I've already agreed to your divorce from my son, and I won't change my mind," Qin Hai said. "Then... can you stay at the Qin residence for a few more days?"

He truly couldn't bear to part with his daughter-in-law.

Mingyun initially wanted to refuse.

However, Qin Hai's pleading eyes looked quite pitiful.

"Hmm... I'll stay for another day or two, just to keep you company," Mingyun agreed.

"Okay, okay." Qin Hai nodded repeatedly with a smile. "Go and rest some more. I see your dark circles are getting worse."

Mingyun nodded, then got up and left.

Qin Hai picked up his teacup, took a sip, and shouted, "Get over here! I've seen you!"

This shout came from Qin Pinsen.

Qin Pinsen had originally intended to ask about Mingyun's situation first, but after being called out like this, he had no choice but to enter the garden first.

"Dad..." Qin Pinsen dared not look his father in the eye.

Qin Hai snorted and said coldly, "You really want to divorce Xiao Yun?"

Qin Pinsen blurted out, "I want to be with Ya'er so much. All I want to do in this life is be with Ya'er. Besides, Ya'er and I already have a son. This mother and son are my life."

Qin Hai closed his eyes, looking utterly dejected.

After a long silence, he opened his eyes and asked, "Are you sure you won't regret it?"

"Regret?" Qin Pinsen said confidently, "I'm overjoyed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his father's face turn ashen, so he quickly lowered his head and said, "Dad, please grant my wish with Ya'er."

Qin Hai said, "You don't need to beg me. Xiao Yun has already made things clear to me. Remember this: she's the one who doesn't want you anymore! And if you regret it later, don't forget what you said today!"

"Yes, Father, I understand."

"Get lost."

Qin Hai waved his hand impatiently.

Qin Pinsen grinned and quickly walked away.

He hadn't walked far from Villa No. 1 when he saw Mingyun waiting for him.

Now that the divorce is settled, he finds Mingyun much more pleasing to the eye.

"Is there anything else?" He gave his usual refined smile.

Mingyun said, "Since it's a workday today and the Civil Affairs Bureau will be open soon, let's hurry up and get the paperwork done."

Now, to get a divorce, you have to register first and then wait for a 30-day cooling-off period.

After the cooling-off period, both parties need to go to the divorce office again to obtain the divorce certificate and completely end the marriage.

She didn't want to waste a single moment.

Qin Pinsen thought so too, and was about to agree when he suddenly realized that his face was covered in bruises and some areas were still swollen, making him look really bad.

"Let me wait until my face recovers," he said helplessly. "I don't want to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with a face full of injuries and attract unnecessary attention."

Mingyun: "..."

If I had known this would happen, I should have stopped his dad from hitting his face when he was beating him so badly that day.

This is causing so much delay.

However, this is clearly not Qin Pinsen using this as an excuse to delay the divorce.

Mingyun agreed.

People are in high spirits when they have a happy occasion, and both of them were the same.

Qin Pinsen immediately went to He Ya to tell her the good news.

Mingyun didn't go back to Villa No. 8 to rest; instead, she left the Qin residence and went directly to her teacher Shangguan Rong's house.

"Teacher! Qin Pinsen and I have signed the divorce agreement, and we'll be divorced soon!"

As soon as she entered the room, Mingyun hugged Shangguan Rong and announced the news.

"Oh, oh, oh! Be gentle, be gentle, my old bones can't take your force!" Shangguan Rong said with a smile.

Mingyun spread her arms wide. "Teacher, today I'm going to have a big meal with you and Tianheng to celebrate!"

Shangguan Rong waved her hand, "Not today, I have to attend a meeting. Let's celebrate after you get your divorce certificate. By the way, now that you're back, if you have time, take Tianheng to kindergarten to register today, and he can go to his rock climbing class this afternoon."

"No problem!" Mingyun beamed.

Then, Shangguan Rong handed her some documents.

"These are the cases of several clients who recently contacted me to have plastic surgery performed by Dr. Catherine using her scalpel. I've reviewed them, and they're all fine. You can choose whichever one you want to work with."

"Okay, teacher."

"Alright, I'll head out now."

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Mingyun drove Shangguan Rong's ordinary car to take Tianheng to Huazun Kindergarten for registration.

Huazun Kindergarten is a top-tier kindergarten in Binhan City.

Those who can send their children here are either rich or powerful.

When Mingyun arrived, the kindergarten was filled with dazzling luxury cars coming and going.

Her teacher's car became the most eye-catching feature.

"Wow, what a beautiful car!" Tianheng exclaimed, his eyes wide with admiration.

"Do you like it?" Mingyun asked. "When Mom earns money in the future, she'll buy one for you to ride in."

Tianheng said, "I like it, but no matter how pretty it is, it's just a tool. I can ride in any kind of car, so Mom, don't work too hard."

Just then, a brand new Porsche accelerated in front of the kindergarten, cutting off Mingyun's lane and swerving sharply in front of her.

Mingyun was caught off guard and almost bumped into it.

With a sharp screech of brakes from both vehicles, both cars came to a stop.

"Tianheng, are you alright?" Mingyun hurriedly turned around to check on her son.

Tianheng said he was held in place by the seatbelt and was perfectly fine.

The driver's side door of the Porsche opened, and a woman wearing an exaggerated sun hat and a brightly colored, gorgeous long dress stormed out of the car and slammed her hands on the hood of Mingyun's car.

"Do you even know how to drive?! You scared my child!"

Mingyun lowered the car window and looked up.

Skillful.
