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

After a winding path, a new vista opens up.

Qin Pinsen exclaimed excitedly, "I'm free! I'll be at the Civil Affairs Bureau right now waiting for you! You absolutely have to come!"

It's a little past noon now.

The Civil Affairs Bureau office is on lunch break and only reopens at 2 PM.

But Qin Pinsen could no longer contain himself.

She skipped lunch, changed into inconspicuous clothes, and put on a hat, sunglasses, and a mask to cover herself up completely.

Then I chose the cheapest car in Qin Mansion, the same one I drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau last time.

Without stopping, we set off immediately.

From the Qin residence to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and then during the long wait, Qin Pinsen felt anxious, expectant, and a little apprehensive.

He didn't tell He Ya this time.

Because I'm still afraid of something unexpected happening.

Even while waiting, they kept glancing around warily, like thieves.

They were afraid that Ming Tianfu would reappear.

It's almost 2 o'clock now.

The marriage registration hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau was already crowded with people, just like when he came last time; there were more people getting divorced than getting married.

Finally, Mingyun appeared at the entrance of the hall.

"Here! I'm in line! Come on over!" Qin Pinsen couldn't help but wave and shout.

Even though her mouth was covered by a mask and her voice sounded muffled, her excitement was palpable.

They sounded even happier than the people getting married on the other side.

Mingyun rushed over upon hearing the commotion and stood beside him, her expression perfectly calm.

Qin Pinsen pulled his hat down and asked in a low voice, "Your dad and your brother won't show up again, will they?"

Mingyun was quite surprised and asked him, "Didn't you handle it? Why are you asking me?"

Qin Pinsen: "Huh?"

Even through his dark sunglasses, Mingyun could sense the surprise in his eyes.

"Didn't you handle it?" Mingyun pressed.

Qin Pinsen frowned. "I sent someone to talk to your father, but... it didn't work out. I thought you had managed to get him to agree to something."

Mingyun also looked puzzled. "I don't know, but my dad suddenly changed his attitude and is urging me to get a divorce as soon as possible."

Through conversation, the two realized that neither of them had solved the problem.

I can't figure out the reason no matter how hard I try.

However, as long as Ming Tianfu stops interfering, there's no need to overthink it. The most important thing right now is to get the divorce done.

Qin Pinsen was visibly happy.

Sunglasses and masks can't hide it.

Mingyun suddenly remembered the day she and he got their marriage certificate and then held a simple wedding ceremony at the Qin residence.

Qin Pinsen was happy, but along with his happiness, there was also a clear sense of loneliness.

At the time, I thought his despondency stemmed from the fact that he was in a wheelchair and might spend the rest of his life in one.

Only after discovering his secret did I realize that his happiness at the time might have been simply because even if he became paralyzed, there was still a woman willing to marry him.

As for his dejection, it goes without saying that it was because he failed to marry He Ya.

"I'm quite curious," Mingyun asked, "when did you and He Ya rekindle your old flame?"

Qin Pinsen was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to ask this.

"Just out of curiosity, nothing more," Mingyun explained calmly.

Qin Pinsen remained silent for a long while before saying, "It was about five months after our marriage..."

Mingyun recalled for a moment.

They got their marriage certificate in one day, and the next day, Bai Fengqin suggested that they get in vitro fertilization as soon as possible.

Just one week later, Mingyun began the painful process of in-vitro fertilization to conceive, as required.

About five months after the marriage, she was three months pregnant.

As for Qin Pinsen, under her meticulous care and encouragement, he has made significant progress. Although he still spends most of his time lying in bed or using a wheelchair, he has regained a lot of sensation in his lower body and is able to try doing rehabilitation exercises with his legs on the ground.

"Did you contact her, or did she contact you?" Mingyun continued to ask.

Qin Pinsen frowned. "Are you still so bothered by it?"

Mingyun smiled and said, "No, I just want to watch the drama unfold."

"Alright..." Qin Pinsen touched his mask and lowered his voice, "She contacted me... She said she was quite lonely abroad and apologized to me, saying she shouldn't have left without saying goodbye. So we started chatting."

Mingyun did not believe all of these words.

Qin Pinsen is a very proud person, and he will not admit it even if he is the one who takes the initiative to contact him.

I'm just listening to gossip, whatever.

"So... during the time when I was pregnant and taking care of you wholeheartedly, hoping you would get better as soon as possible, you had already started an affair with her," Mingyun sighed softly.

Qin Pinsen felt a little embarrassed and secretly glanced at the other people in line next to him, afraid that they would hear him.

"Thank you," Mingyun suddenly said.

Her expression was too indifferent; Qin Pinsen couldn't tell whether she was being sarcastic or what.

"What are you thanking me for?" he asked.

Mingyun said, "Thank you for keeping it from me for so long, so long that I was heartbroken and mentally prepared for divorce, before I found out the truth. If I had found out while I was pregnant, I can't imagine how painful it would have been."

"What's wrong with you... because of your sarcastic remarks?" Qin Pinsen frowned.

Mingyun laughed, a laugh of relief. "We're getting a divorce anyway, what right do I have to be sarcastic?"

This relieved smile suddenly made Qin Pinsen feel uneasy.

He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I did like you."

"Oh? When?" Mingyun tilted her head and looked at him.

He then recounted how he fell for her on his first day of university, and how he tried every means to pursue a deeper relationship with her, but could never manage to get her to agree to a date.

Not long after, she discovered that He Ya had become good friends with her.

So they had a reason and even got He Ya to help them.

However, on the very night he was about to confess his feelings, he learned from He Ya that she already had a boyfriend.

Heartbroken and upset, he drank heavily and, in a daze, had a relationship with He Ya.

Hearing this, Mingyun snorted coldly, "Ha, if you have lustful thoughts, then so be it. Don't blame the wine."

Qin Pinsen hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Mingyun said calmly, "So that's what you meant by 'having feelings for me'?"

Qin Pinsen said, "Doesn't that count?"

"And then, you didn't like it anymore?" Mingyun pressed.

Qin Pinsen gritted his teeth, "I don't know how to say it. Every time He Ya and I broke up, I would think of you. Then, about three months before graduation, she gave me a big fight, and I was ready to cut all ties completely... So I deliberately started to pester you..."

Then, through his mask, he scratched his nose, his eyes darting around behind his sunglasses, and continued:

"That's why... I had the chance to rescue you from those thugs... cough cough."

"Since then, I have clearly felt that your attitude towards me has improved a lot. I am sure that you have developed a great liking for me."

"I'm quite proud of myself. You know, for a guy, when a girl he used to like completely ignores him, and then gradually develops feelings for him, oh my god! Do you know how much of a sense of accomplishment that is?!"
