After Being Forced To Marry A Wealthy Man, Mr. Qi Wants To Divorce Every Day - Chapter 75

Chapter 75 He’s Not Bai Yueguang

“Shen Kuozhi, do you believe in these things? Whether you believe it or not, I do, so I came.”

Qi Yue spoke slowly, lifting his head to look at Shen Kuozhi.

The surprise and panic in Shen Kuozhi’s eyes disappeared in an instant. When Qi Yue looked at him, he had already suppressed the emotions that shouldn’t have been there.

Their eyes met, and Shen Kuozhi looked at Qi Yue’s clear and bright eyes, saying firmly, “I believe too. I believe what you just said.”

Qi Yue didn’t expect Shen Kuozhi to believe as well, and he didn’t know if it was genuine belief or just pretending.

If it were him before, without witnessing the occurrence of those prophecies in his dreams, he wouldn’t have believed it if it were just someone else telling him stories.

However, this wasn’t the main purpose of his visit.

“You probably haven’t seen the message I sent yesterday.”

Qi Yue looked at Shen Kuozhi, indicating his phone.

Shen Kuozhi actually saw it yesterday, he saw it yesterday, but he didn’t know how to reply to Qi Yue.

His personal desire was not to divorce Qi Yue, but his rationality told him that divorce was the wisest choice for their current relationship.

So he hadn’t replied all this time because he hadn’t built up the courage in his heart, hadn’t made up his mind.

However, Shen Kuozhi didn’t expect Qi Yue to show up in front of him early the next morning and successfully provide him with a good excuse.

“Well, my phone is with Assistant Zhang, I haven’t seen it yet.”

Shen Kuozhi managed his expression well, nodding without any guilt.

“Then it’s perfect, I’ll just explain it to you face to face today.”

Upon hearing Shen Kuozhi’s response, Qi Yue was mentally prepared. He recited the draft he had prepared on the way.

“I think our cooperation seems unnecessary to continue. If you lack a marital partner, you can find someone more suitable, like Qi Yunhan, right? However, you’ve helped me so much, so consider it a favor owed to you. If you need anything in the future, just ask, and I’ll do my best to help. But I guess you probably don’t need my help much.”

Qi Yue ended with a self-deprecating smile. Their marriage had both been strokes of luck, their horoscopes matched, bringing happiness to Shen Kuozhi.

But in the end, whether this happiness was effective, Shen Kuozhi, the person involved, knew best.

Thinking of Shen Kuozhi lying on the operating table in his dream, Qi Yue felt that this supposedly happy marriage was simply a joke. He was just a clown on a stage, entertaining Shen’s grandmother.

While speaking, Qi Yue glanced at the vase beside the hospital bed, unaware of the pain in Shen Kuozhi’s expression as he spoke.

Shen Kuozhi’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down slightly before he spoke, “Qi Yue, you don’t owe me anything. You’ve also helped me a lot, and I feel like what I’ve done for you is just a small effort. In this relationship, neither of us owes the other anything; it’s just that we see things from different perspectives.”

With that, he raised his hand and gently placed it on Qi Yue’s back of the hand.

When he touched Qi Yue’s hand, the latter didn’t pull away but met his gaze again. At this moment, both of their faces were reflected in each other’s eyes.

Qi Yue understood Shen Kuozhi’s meaning; they were both intelligent people.

“So, are you agreeing to the divorce?”

“Well, if necessary, it can be today.”

“Let’s not do it today. It won’t be too late to go when you’re feeling better.”

Qi Yue didn’t expect Shen Kuozhi to agree so readily, but upon second thought, it made sense. Shen Kuozhi’s Bai Yueguang, Qi Yunhan, had returned. Why bother with unclear relationships? After the divorce, Shen Kuozhi could openly pursue the person he loved. And he wouldn’t have to wear the cuckold’s hat himself; it would be a win-win situation.

But Qi Yue didn’t feel as happy as he had anticipated. Instead, he felt a bit suffocated, both in his breathing and in his heart, his emotions weren’t too high.

What was wrong with him? Did he not sleep well last night? Was he about to have a heart attack?

Qi Yue silently thought to himself.

Shen Kuozhi saw him silent, his lips subconsciously pursed, his eyes staring blankly at something, not seeming to be happy about something.

Seeing Qi Yue like this, Shen Kuozhi suddenly thought of the conversation just now. He seemed to have caused Qi Yue a big misunderstanding.

“When you mentioned dreaming of my Bai Yueguang just now, did you mean Qi Yunhan?”

Qi Yue was startled by Shen Kuozhi’s sudden voice, subconsciously blurting out, “Isn’t it?”

“Of course not. He’s just my good friend, a pure friend. I have no such thoughts about him, and I don’t have a Bai Yueguang.”

Shen Kuozhi said seriously.

He didn’t expect that in Qi Yue’s mind, Qi Yunhan was regarded as his Bai Yueguang. Was it possible that Yue Yue’s constant desire to distance herself from him, and the sudden change in their relationship, were all because of Yue Yue’s dreams?

Shen Kuozhi really didn’t expect that Qi Yunhan might be the culprit who broke him and Yue Yue apart.

But deep down, he hoped that Qi Yue had really been keeping his distance because of Qi Yunhan.

If that were the case, as long as they clarified things, the obstacles to pursuing Yue Yue would be greatly reduced.

At least he could openly pursue Yue Yue like a normal person, making Yue Yue willingly be with him.

This was Shen Kuozhi’s ultimate goal and the decision he had made after nearly a day of contemplation.

He liked Yue Yue, wanted to be with Yue Yue, and wanted to marry Yue Yue.

But Yue Yue wasn’t completely in love with him right now; at most, her feelings for him were above friendship but not yet romantic.

So if he tried to confine Yue Yue with the marriage they had before, it would only push her further away. This was definitely not the scene he wanted to see, and it completely went against his original intentions. So he decided to temporarily divorce Yue Yue and use his true feelings to win her over.

Shen Kuozhi never regretted the decisions he made. Even if Yue Yue didn’t choose him in the end, he wouldn’t regret it. He hoped that the person in his heart could live the life they wanted, and he would silently accompany and protect them.

Or rather, he wanted to see Yue Yue continue to grow and thrive, to stand on her own in the capital.

This was what Shen Kuozhi wanted to see.

Yue Yue was talented and shouldn’t be buried. That’s why he wholeheartedly supported Qi Yue’s entrepreneurship, because he believed that Yue Yue would surely succeed and do well.

Qi Yue saw Shen Kuozhi’s unprecedented seriousness, and his body involuntarily sat up straighter.

Shen Kuozhi’s words didn’t seem false, which meant that he had misunderstood Shen Kuozhi, and he had even spread rumors to the person involved.

Thinking like this, Qi Yue felt a little embarrassed, but the suffocating feeling that had lingered in his heart just disappeared silently.

After Shen Kuozhi finished speaking, his expression relaxed. He didn’t want the atmosphere to be serious when chatting with Qi Yue; it wasn’t the atmosphere that a couple should have.

Although they weren’t truly lovers yet, seeing Qi Yue sitting by the bed, his ears turning red, filled Shen Kuozhi with confidence.

Seeing Qi Yue like this, he estimated that the other party also had feelings for him. This was good news for Shen Kuozhi.

“Now that it’s out in the open, take good care of yourself, I’ll leave first.”

Qi Yue placed the things he had brought next to the bed and then left as if fleeing.

After leaving the ward, Qi Yue walked through the hospital corridor, feeling the heat on his face finally dissipating.

He didn’t know what had just happened to him. After locking eyes with Shen Kuozhi, his face had inexplicably turned red, and the heat surged up in an instant.

Without looking, Qi Yue knew that his face must have been very red at that moment.

It must have been too stuffy in that ward. He should have told Shen Kuozhi to ventilate the room more!

Qi Yue secretly blamed Shen Kuozhi.

After Qi Yue left, Qi Yunhan entered the ward.

With a smile in his eyes, he looked at Shen Kuozhi teasingly and said, “Aren’t you good at keeping secrets? How did your little darling find out?”

Shen Kuozhi, in a good mood now, didn’t take it seriously like Qi Yunhan.

“You single dog wouldn’t understand. Haven’t experienced being cherished by a loved one, have you?”

Shen Kuozhi raised an eyebrow, looking at Qi Yunhan triumphantly.

Qi Yunhan rolled his eyes at him. This buddy used to be just introverted, but now that he’s enlightened, he’s become downright flamboyant.

He’s like those guys who can’t resist showing off their wives whenever they meet someone.

Having spent so much time with Shen Kuozhi, Qi Yunhan sometimes wondered if he should also find a partner. He couldn’t always watch this guy flaunt in front of him.

“How much longer do I have to lie in bed?” Qi Yunhan asked.

Shen Kuozhi knew that Qi Yunhan’s return wasn’t just to tease him. He had undergone surgery a few days ago, which was very successful. The illness was basically treated, and as long as he rested well, there shouldn’t be any major problems. That’s why he dared to divorce Qi Yue with peace of mind.

Health is the foundation of everything. With Shen Kuozhi’s health issues resolved, he felt more confident about his career and love life.

Otherwise, if his health didn’t improve, Shen Kuozhi would have felt a sense of defeat, like a eunuch entering the brothel, willing but unable.

“At least another three or four days, just to observe. But there shouldn’t be any major issues. Take good care of yourself, and a month of rest should do the trick. And remember to take it easy in your daily life; I don’t think I need to tell you that.”

“Okay, discharged in three days.”

Shen Kuozhi nodded, bypassing Qi Yunhan’s other words and focusing on the key points.

Qi Yunhan had watched Shen Kuozhi grow up. Since childhood, Shen Kuozhi had been in poor health. When it snowed in winter, while other children could play outside building snowmen, having snowball fights, and skiing, Shen Kuozhi could only stay indoors, sitting on a small stool, watching the lively scenes outside through the window.

Since childhood, Qi Yunhan had always felt that Shen Kuozhi’s temperament was special. Now, thinking back, he realized that the uniqueness came from the barrier between Shen Kuozhi and the outside world.

It wasn’t thick, but it was extremely difficult to break through.
