Of course I would say it, but I won't say it to her.
Moreover, I also told Xiao Minxing about this.
Fortunately, he doesn't have a knife in his hand right now; otherwise, I wouldn't be surprised if he skinned me alive, because that look in his eyes was the most terrifying I've ever seen.
His entire eyeball changed color, glowing red, combined with his pale face, he was simply the embodiment of a Demon.
He kicked the box at the Entrance hard and said, “Qiu Yuhan, dare you leave here and try.”
A fierce wind swept through, taking away my last bit of softness. That night of storms when I lost my child, no one cared or accompanied me. Now, when another woman is hurt, he stays by her side day and night and expects me to apologize to her.
As a wife, I have failed. Perhaps I should say I have never succeeded because it was always like this from the beginning. It was just that back then there was no comparison; I always thought those women outside were just temporary flings for him. Sooner or later, he would realize my worth and see that I was the playmate who had been with him since childhood.
But reality clearly tells me that I am overthinking; he will never love me.
However, I didn't just take the box and leave. Instead, I went upstairs and packed all the valuable jewelry he had once bought for me.
I even found that bank card he had given me before; it was just sitting in the drawer of my room. It's strange; I clearly remember returning it to him, yet somehow it appeared here again.
But now I can't worry about that too much; these things are very important to me.
After packing everything up, I called a taxi on a ride-hailing platform and withdrew money from the bank card at the nearest ATM. To my surprise, there was a large sum of money in it.
I couldn't help but sigh; had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have brought these pieces of jewelry and would have sold them instead. It’s too much trouble.
I found a place to stay near the Studio.
First of all, I believe that the most dangerous place is often the safest place. Xiao Minxing might not expect that I would run away and still stay so close to him.
The second reason is that I don't want to give up on learning here, and I believe that Lu Yishan isn't really here to learn painting; she's just here to cause trouble. Now that she has successfully driven me away, there's no need for her to come back. Besides, even if she does come, I can just switch to studying at night and avoid seeing her altogether.
The house was relatively easy to find. I quickly located a place behind the Library. Although it was small and expensive, the environment and location were quite good for me, so I decided to settle in.
It had everything I needed; I just had to buy some toiletries and food to make it a cozy little home.
I felt at ease, lying in bed and sleeping soundly for a day. When I woke up in the evening, I was contemplating whether to check out the Studio when I heard a knock on the door.
Since it was my first day moving in, I figured it couldn't be anyone else but the landlord or someone who had knocked on the wrong door.
However, when I opened the door and saw Xiao Minxing standing outside, I thought I was having a nightmare. I quickly rubbed my eyes, but he took advantage of my surprise and stepped inside.
I was shocked beyond belief and didn't know how to react, standing frozen at the Entrance.
He pulled me inside with one hand and closed the door with the other, then looked at me with a smirk and asked, "Exciting, isn't it? Challenging my limits gives you a sense of accomplishment, right?"
I shook my head and asked a completely unrelated question: "How did you find this place?"
He looked at me as if I were foolish and after a long pause said, "Did you forget there are cameras near the house? Did you forget about the license plate on the Taxi? You didn't know there are also cameras around this area? Wherever you go, as long as I want to know, it's all clear as day."
It turns out there really is a difference between high intelligence and low intelligence. My meticulous plans and proud strategies were utterly insignificant in his eyes; they were easily dismantled without him even lifting a finger.
What could I possibly argue with him about?
I felt really deflated; I didn't even want to struggle anymore. Looking at him, I asked, "So what do you want now?"
Xiao Minxing stared at me and asked, "What do you think I should do?"
I thought seriously about this question, and perhaps the answer isn't what he would be most satisfied with, but it should reflect his true feelings.
"How about this: since the person you love has come back, and you look at me with anger, let's get a divorce. You won't have to waste your energy on me and can focus on living your own happy life. Don't worry, I will never mention you or your family again; let's just pretend we never knew each other."
As I said this, I carefully watched Xiao Minxing's face.
There was no change; it seemed I had struck a chord with him. It's truly ironic that after going in circles, we end up with such a conclusion. I don't even know if I've only grown taller over the years without ever growing wiser.
He waited until I finished speaking, then silently looked at me.
His expression was unclear, and for a moment, I couldn't guess what he was thinking, so I stood still.
After a few seconds, he finally asked, "Are you done?"
I replied with a soft "yes."
He smirked slightly and politely said, "Then I ask Miss Qiu to repeat her words once more."
I looked at him in disbelief; I had spoken quite loudly just now, and he wasn't deaf—how could he not hear me?
But since he had already said that, what could I do? I repeated myself.
Then he asked, "Do you know how many times you've said the word 'divorce' to me?"
I shook my head.
He sneered and said, "The sixth time."
I was speechless.
Then he asked again, "Do you still remember what I always say?"
I widened my eyes, but I was still at a loss for words.
Xiao Minxing stepped closer to me, his body almost pressed against mine. His voice and presence dominated the space, and I could feel the warmth of his breath hitting my face in waves.
"Qiu Yuhan, my door isn't that easy to enter. You can't just come and go as you please. Remember this: I will not divorce you. In this lifetime, we are bound together, no matter what."
This sounded like a vow, but his tone made me think of the word "torture."
After a long time, I finally broke free from that strange atmosphere and reluctantly asked, "What about Lu Yishan? Isn't she the one you love? Are you really going to watch the person you love become a mistress?"
This time, Xiao Minxing actually laughed, and it was a loud laugh, but his eyes remained cold and unyielding as he stared at me.
"You've thought this through well. Then you can stay alone in an empty house and play the role of Mrs. Xiao like a maid. As for who I love, you don't need to worry about that."
"Now, pick up your things and get out of here."
His words grew more urgent, and it looked like he was about to make a move on me again.
I quickly gathered the few items I had scattered and rushed towards the Entrance.
