CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER 312: I’M TIRED, LET’S GET A DIVORCE_2

"Mom!" Leng Yan shouted angrily at Li Qiu.

He had never spoken to Li Qiu like this before. He knew how hard it had been for Li Qiu to raise him alone all these years, so he always wanted to be a filial son. In the Leng Family, he felt he had suffered a lot, especially from Leng Ye, but he never complained to Li Qiu, because he didn’t want to make her life harder. But today, if he continued to listen, he’d be foolishly filial. He’s already failed Nuannuan and can’t keep this child.

"Yan, just now I..." Li Qiu was shocked and immediately regretted her actions. She always felt guilty towards her son, and to make his life less difficult, she had tried her best to give him a good life. Yet he still couldn’t escape the mockery of ignorant classmates. She thought returning to Leng Siyan was for Leng Yan’s good, but she had never seen Leng Yan truly laugh.

"Yan, I’m begging you, let me have this child, okay?" Ji Wei cried as she stood up and ran to Leng Yan, touching her stomach, her eyes teary looking at him: "Three years ago, I suffered humiliation because of you, and you said you would make it up to me, right? What I want in return is for you to let me have this child."

Wen Nuan’s fingers tightened, and she instinctively looked at Leng Yan. He had always felt guilty toward Ji Wei, and now that she was asking for this as compensation, would he agree?

After thinking about it, she found herself ridiculous:

It was no longer any of her business; perhaps she was just overthinking.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Nuan looked at the three who had fallen silent and stood up. She glanced around at them, "I’ll go first. You all continue talking."

She felt no need to stay here anymore.

"Nuannuan," Leng Yan pushed Ji Wei aside and quickly followed to grab her: "Nuannuan, where are you going?"

Where to? She hadn’t decided, but it certainly wasn’t here. She bit her lip and forced a smile: "I’m going to Tong Xi’s place."

She wanted to say "let’s divorce" right now. But with Ji Wei here, she couldn’t say it. This relationship was exhausting, and she wanted to leave, but she couldn’t let Ji Wei have her way.

She was sure that if she said it now, Ji Wei would be overjoyed. And Li Qiu would probably be relieved too.

As for Leng Yan...

Her feelings were complicated, and she didn’t want to know his reaction at all.

"Let’s go together, we’ll go home." Leng Yan didn’t let go of her hand, turning back to look at Ji Wei: "Tomorrow, get rid of the child. What I owe you, I will make up for in other ways, but not with love or a child."

"Yan!"

Ji Wei cried even harder: "I can’t regain your love, but I must have this child that’s ours."

"Nuannuan," Li Qiu softened a bit, sighing: "Just let her have the child, it’s not like we’re saying you have to divorce. I know it puts you in a difficult position, but what if you can’t have any kids?"

In the end, she couldn’t bear to part with the child in Ji Wei’s womb.

"I’m tired, I’m going back first." Wen Nuan smiled bitterly, pushing away Leng Yan’s hand.

Letting her have the child is spoken so lightly. But isn’t it an insult to her?

"What does it matter if you can’t have a child?" Leng Yan looked coldly at Li Qiu, astonished that the mother he always respected could say such a thing.

"Whether or not she can have a child, she is my only wife!"

"Let’s go together." Leng Yan insisted, following her closely, refusing to leave her side for a moment.

Wen Nuan stopped talking, her heart ached, yet she let it hurt. Before, they said time heals all wounds, but now, feeling the pain will harden her heart.

"Let me out of the car!"

As the car passed Tong Xi’s place, the silent Wen Nuan finally uttered three words.

"Nuannuan, let’s go home." Leng Yan’s voice was full of pleading: "I will resolve this matter, just give me some time, okay?"

"I want to get out!" Wen Nuan’s voice rose, still staring ahead. Leng Yan startled, slowly pulled the car to the side of the road.

Pushing the car door open, Wen Nuan walked back. They had already passed Tong Xi’s place, and now she had to walk back.

"Nuannuan, let’s go home, can we? I’m begging you!" Leng Yan caught up, blocking her way, eyes filled with heart-wrenching pain: "Nuannuan, I don’t want a divorce."

Wen Nuan’s lowered fingers trembled fiercely.

It turns out he already knew her thoughts without her saying anything. Ha, is this the so-called most tragic "intuitive understanding"?

Thinking about it, tears gushed out. Meeting Leng Yan, she was indeed a tragedy, right?

"Nuannuan, I know what you’re thinking. Stay with me, okay? Give me time to deal with this." Leng Yan suddenly hugged her, kissing away the tears on her face with painful tenderness: "Don’t leave me, Nuannuan. I don’t care about the child; all I want is you."

She could feel his lips trembling against her face, and she tried her best to clench her teeth not to soften. She pushed him away hard: "But the child can’t be gotten rid of! If Ji Wei’s child is gone, your mom will hate me."

Since Li Qiu had decided to protect it, no one could touch it.

"I’m tired, let’s get a divorce." She looked at Leng Yan, shaking her head slowly:

"You said everything would be settled, so I came back. But now? I’ve told you, my capacity to endure is limited. Right now, I’m beyond my breaking point. There’s no need to say more, I won’t care about you and Ji Wei anymore. Find some time, we’ll divorce!"

"Nuannuan, we agreed not to divorce." Leng Yan’s eyes were turning red, through the eyes she adored, Wen Nuan saw the hidden tears: "We promised to love each other, Nuannuan, have you forgotten?"

"I haven’t."

The tears in his eyes made her heart ache. Wen Nuan bit her lip tightly, shaking her head as she retreated: "But my precondition was that our marriage only had the two of us. That’s changed, now it’s three people—no!"

She painfully furrowed her brows, tears welling up: "It’s four people! There’s me, you, Ji Wei, and..."

Her throat choked, and she struggled with all her might to yell: "And your child with Ji Wei!"
