The temptation behind gentleness
Chapter 167: Divorce
Wu Miao finally panicked.
"Alright, alright, just a moment. I'll come out as soon as I get dressed."
"Then hurry up, I'm starving."
Sun Rui said and turned back to her room.
Upon hearing the door close, Wu Miao and Su Fan both heaved a sigh of relief.
"That's not right. Why do I feel like you are so afraid of my daughter? This is completely different from how you act at the hospital."
Women are sensitive. Although Wu Miao was a bit foolish, her sixth sense kicked in at that moment as she looked at Su Fan, whose expression changed unpredictably.
Su Fan's heart skipped a beat.
If Wu Miao found out about last night with Sun Rui, wouldn't she, as a mother, fight him desperately?
"Isn't that obvious? I'm fooling around in your house, and if your family finds out, wouldn't I be panicked? Facing Zhang Haitao at the hospital with firmness was because I was righteous and confident. Do you think I have any confidence now?"
Su Fan spoke logically and righteously, which managed to deceive Wu Miao.
"Sigh."
She sighed with a look of regret and said,
"It looks like we really can't continue today."
Su Fan reassured Wu Miao.
"Don't worry, I always keep my word. You've given me what I wanted, and I'll of course satisfy you. Wait a few days; we'll find time to book a room, find a place with no disturbances, and do whatever we want."
Upon hearing this, Wu Miao's eyes lit up again.
"Okay, that's what you said. Let's call it a day then."
Saying this, Wu Miao started to get dressed.
Ten minutes later, Wu Miao was fully dressed.
"I'll be leaving with my daughter soon; you should slip out quietly."
After instructing Su Fan, Wu Miao left the bedroom and soon left home with Sun Rui.
Su Fan stood by the window and peeked through the curtain slits.
Wu Miao and Sun Rui were walking on the forest path in the community.
They were indeed a captivating pair of mother and daughter.
If only he could have them both...
Su Fan, you should be ashamed.
The moment that wicked thought came, Su Fan immediately started to harshly scold himself.
When he saw the two leave the community gate, Su Fan hurriedly left Sun Zhigang's home.
Taking the bus to Li Jian's house.
All the way there, he pondered how he should handle the relationship with both Wu Miao and Sun Rui.
Choose one?
Or have both?
If both, it would be terribly unethical, but choosing one might be acceptable. Would Wu Miao and Sun Rui accept it?
Regardless of Wu Miao or Sun Rui, he had already advanced halfway and was teetering on the brink of a slip-up.
Now, telling one of them to end the relationship would be like abandoning someone after taking advantage, wouldn't it?
All day, Su Fan couldn't come up with an answer, but he was sure of one thing: he must never let Wu Miao and Sun Rui know he was involved with both of them.
Otherwise...
As he got off the bus, it was already late, with the sunset casting its last glows.
As soon as Su Fan stepped into the yard, he heard loud arguing.
"You heartless bastard, could you have reached your position without my father's support back in the day?"
"I married you at such a young age; now that my family has run into trouble, you rush to get a divorce. Are you even human?"
Was that Bai Man's voice?
Had Bai Man been released?
Su Fan was overwhelmed with joy standing in the yard.
The next moment, he realized something was wrong with himself.
Why was he caring so much about Bai Man?
After all, Bai Man had always been making things difficult for him, not treating him like a person.
Why would her safety matter so much to him?
In the days Bai Man was taken away, Su Fan would suddenly think of her. At the very moment he heard her voice, he unconsciously felt overjoyed, as if Bai Man had become an important part of his life.
Soon, a man's voice was heard.
"What you said is not wrong, but over the years, I've also helped you and your family a lot. You're an adult and know the rules of the political game. Your family's trouble is significant; a divorce is better for both of us."
"You know how important my position is for that matter I'm working on. I have feelings for you, but that matter is more important. If I lose this position, I can't continue with that matter, so this marriage has to end."
"You're too heartless, you old bastard, may you die a terrible death."
Bai Man yelled and cried.
Li Jian left her with harsh words.
"I've left the divorce papers here. I'll give you three days to sign them; otherwise, I'll file for divorce in court."
After speaking, Li Jian strode across the room.
And bumped into Su Fan, who was eavesdropping at the door.
