After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

Do you even know what you're saying?

After a long while, Xu Daikui finally heard the man's deep questioning voice.

Her hands, gripping the railing, gradually turned white; her emotions had sunk to rock bottom. "I want a divorce, Zhou Yanci. I've told you so many times, I want a divorce. Can't you just let me go?"

She had been waiting for him for five years. During the days he and Xu Jiaojiao disappeared, she waited for him like a fool for five years.

Now that he has to take responsibility for Xu Jiaojiao, what about her life?

She didn't have many more five-year periods left, and she couldn't bear it for even a moment longer that Zhou Yanci was constantly by another woman's bedside, still holding the title of her husband.

This is all so unfair to her.

Xu Jiaojiao had already had enough since she was a child. Her father and her home were all hers, and later her husband was also hers. Both her husband's family and her own family treated her like a precious treasure.

She wasn't even worthy of having a name in the Zhou and Xu families.

That marriage certificate was nothing but a cruel irony to her.

She never wanted to experience such a hellish life again.

"All I want is a divorce certificate. If you don't give it to me today, you'll be widowed!"

She looked at him with unwavering determination.

"Yeah?"

Looking at her, whose entire being exuded a broken aura, Zhou Yanci's eyes held a deep sorrow. "Tell me your reason, your reason for insisting on a divorce?"

"If it's because of Xu Meng, I'll be her father and I won't mind her background."

He liked her; perhaps he had already fallen deeply in love with her without even realizing it.

He's been thinking a lot lately, and he's finally figured out the answer he couldn't figure out in five years.

Regardless of Xu Daikui's initial motivation for approaching him, he genuinely wanted to be with her.

To be precise, he couldn't lose her.

He doesn't want to think about those past events, those words that deeply hurt him.

All he wanted was for her to stay by his side.

Xu Daikui curled her lips, but her expression was bitter. "I'm not as casual as you. I can't be fickle when it comes to relationships. You're not bothered by having one woman on each side, but I don't want my child to get caught up in such a messy and dirty relationship."

It is unprecedented for two sisters to share the same man.

He could never sever his ties with Xu Jiaojiao throughout his life, and she felt nothing but disgust whenever she thought of that woman.

She wished she could be crushed to death today; that kind of wicked woman who destroys other people's families deserves to go to hell.

Whenever she thinks about the intimacy between Zhou Yanci and her, she falls into deep self-doubt.

She didn't want to be driven mad by them.

"Me, whatever?"

Zhou Yanci laughed in exasperation, "Xu Daikui, ask yourself honestly, which of us is more casual?"

He didn't accept Xu Meng casually; he liked her, which is why he was willing to accept everything about her.

Even if it's not clean, even if it's her child with someone else.

Xu Daikui didn't want to argue about this issue anymore.

He and Xu Jiaojiao have done everything they were supposed to do; now all that's left is to go to bed and have a baby.

Further discussion is pointless.

She nodded in agreement. "I'm easygoing. I admit I'm an easygoing woman. So, you don't need to support my child. I'll take the child to find her own father. Let's get a divorce. It's better for everyone this way. You can have many people around you, but I can't tolerate you. Zhou Yanci, please sign the divorce papers, otherwise, I really will make you widowed."

Oh.

Zhou Yanci gave a silent, cold laugh.

They can't tolerate him?

She really loves Shen Jun to the core, doesn't she?

Once again, he felt that those loving stars had become ironic, turning into countless sharp blades piercing his heart.

His hands, hanging by his sides, were clenched tightly.

But even if that's the reality, so what? No one can easily take away what belongs to him, whether it's people or things.

"I can't leave."

Zhou Yanci raised his eyes and locked them firmly in his gaze. "Xu Daikui, you'd rather think about the Civil Affairs Bureau going bankrupt than dream about getting a divorce. I said we can't get a divorce, and we'll never get one."

He said this as he strode toward her.

Xu Daikui knew this would be the outcome; her death posed no threat to him whatsoever.

She couldn't remove him from her life at all; this man was her debt, someone who came to torment her.

She instinctively turned around and tried to climb the railing, but as soon as one foot touched it, the man forcibly pulled her down into his arms.

Then a passionate kiss silenced her breath, her struggling hands were firmly held down by him, and the man pulled her cold body tightly into his arms.

A forceful kiss brooks no refusal.

Only when she had no breath left and her body had completely gone limp did the man slowly back away. Looking at her panting heavily, he slightly curled his thin lips and said, "Xiao Kui, don't joke with me about your life again."

God knows how terrified he was of losing her.

"If I have to go through such a dangerous situation again, I will take Mengmeng back and raise her myself."

Xu Daikui was completely stunned.

"Are you trying to take my child?"

Mengmeng.

Did he use Mengmeng to threaten her?

She broke down and screamed.

My thoughts instantly became jumbled.

Two tear tracks rolled down her cheeks.

Zhou Yanci calmly draped a suit jacket over her shoulders, tucked her stray hairs behind her ear with his fingers, gently wiped away her tears, and spoke in a low, magnetic voice.

"It's not robbery. It's that the two of us are raising the child together. We are a family of three, living together."

As Zhou Yanci spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead again, "Xiao Kui, give me a child, okay?"

Seeing Mengmeng, he also wanted to have a child of their own.

Ideally, it would be a girl; he would be overjoyed.

Xu Daikui's resolve had been completely broken by him.

His domineering nature and unreasonableness have plunged her into deep despair.

In particular, he used her dreams to threaten her.

Her body went completely limp, and she was too exhausted to respond to him.

"It's okay, we'll take it slow. I'll make up for the love you've missed over the past five years, little by little. I'll also restore your wounded heart to its former state. We'll never be apart again."

Seeing that she remained silent, Zhou Yanci gently hugged her again.
