with disdain and sneered: "Actually, you had everything figured out from the start. Ever since Mengzhuo Shao arrived in Anyue on the day I entered Anyue, you knew this day would come.You feigned kindn...Chapter 20 The Fruit of Love

Yan Luoxi rushed to Xue Liping's house and found that the villa was still standing upright, with lights illuminating inside; there were no signs of collapse or destruction.

She hurriedly walked to the door and pressed the doorbell. A servant came over and opened the door for her. The large living room was empty, and the servant told her that Mrs. Xue was upstairs.

Yan Luoxi rushed up the stairs again and entered Xue Liping's bedroom. She saw her mother sitting dazedly on the sofa, looking far from well, tired, with swollen eyes that clearly indicated she had been crying.

"Mom, what’s wrong Did something happen" Yan Luoxi ran over and sat next to Xue Liping.

"It's not a big deal. I just feel depressed." When Xue Liping spoke, her voice was hoarse as if she were sobbing in the wind.

"Then what exactly happened Just tell me now, okay I'm going crazy worrying!" Yan Luoxi couldn't bear her mother's evasiveness any longer.

"Sun Zhijun wants a divorce from me!" Xue Liping’s tone sounded calm but her expression changed abruptly as if she were about to burst into tears at any moment.

"What Why does he want a divorce" Yan Luoxi seemed not to have understood, "When we ran into them before... wasn't everything fine with him"

Xue Liping's face darkened as she gritted her teeth and said, "It’s because we ran into him and that little vixen that he wants a divorce from me."

"Because we caught him in the act, and he feels embarrassed," Yan Luoxi asked in surprise.

"No, before this happened several times with other women, but it didn’t bother him much." Xue Liping gave a bitter smile. She had aged visibly over the course of that afternoon; her hair was no longer neatly styled and appeared somewhat disheveled, and the wrinkles around her eyes seemed to have increased rapidly.

Yan Luoxi stared at her in disbelief, not having expected that Auntie already knew about Uncle Sun’s affair from earlier on.

Xue Liping looked at Yan Luoxi with a long-suffering sigh. "My dear, you’re still too young to understand the complexities of love and marriage. You think that if two people are in love, they will only have each other and be together forever."

But as time goes by, familiarity breeds contempt; some lucky couples turn their love into a familial bond, while others become enemies who can barely tolerate each other’s presence, let alone share physical intimacy.

A woman may remain faithful in a marriage that is just based on family ties, but men are different. Especially successful middle-aged men like your Uncle Sun, who have money and charm; even if they ignore them, many vain girls will make the first move to court him. He's just an ordinary man who can't resist such advances.

Before this happened with other women, I turned a blind eye as long as he wasn’t planning on divorcing me. The more generous I am, the more he feels guilty and bends over backwards for my sake, knowing that I’m understanding enough to let him manage his company."

Yan Luoxi didn't have the strength to evaluate what her mother and Uncle Sun had done; each person has their own way of living. She was just eager to know why now, suddenly, Uncle Sun was thinking about divorcing her mother, while before she had seemed so broad-minded as if she had seen through everything in this world.

"So what's different now Is there something special about this woman" Yan Luoxi realized that the problem must be related to the young woman they met today.

Xue Liping pursed her lips, her eyes heavy with sorrow. "Men are greedy and vain creatures. They want to play around all they want while still looking for a noble excuse."

"For example, Sun Zhijun in the beginning was chasing after women who were beautiful and sexy, but later when he got tired of their looks, he started pursuing intelligence and depth.

This way, he can show that he's not just an old lecher but a man of taste. Recently, all the women around him are both good-looking and have cultural sophistication; he feels this matches his own standards, elevating himself as someone more refined, a soulmate with whom he shares a deeper connection.

The little demon we met today is not only a college student but also a PhD candidate. She's young, beautiful, smart, and fits Sun Zhijun's recent standards perfectly."

"If he had found such a soulmate years ago without divorcing you, why would he divorce now just for this girl" Yan Luoxi frowned in confusion.

"Because she’s pregnant!" Xue Liping painfully closed her eyes.

"What!" Yan Luoxi's little head almost spun out of control.

"Sun Zhijun has finally created a love child with the woman who merged his body and soul, and he's ecstatic. He treats this little demon as a treasure, pampering her endlessly. Aside from not agreeing to marry her, whatever luxury cars or villas that little demon asks for, he gives her without hesitation, showering her with large sums of money."

I actually knew about this long ago and thought I could just pretend it didn't happen like usual. But today at noon, that little demon dared to挑釁我，一時冇忍住，說了那個小妖精兩句。

冇想到那個死丫頭鬨了起來，一定要孫誌軍跟我離婚娶她，不然就把肚子裡麵——據說是可以給孫家傳宗接代的兒子打掉。

Who would have thought that the little brat would start a fuss, insisting that Sun Zhijun divorce me to marry her, and if he doesn't, she'll terminate the pregnancy—supposedly a son who could carry on the family line.

To my shock, this heartless bastard actually submitted to the little demon's demands. He immediately called his lawyer to draft a divorce agreement, determined to end our marriage and have me sign it."

Yan Luoxi listened to her mother recount this infuriating situation with sorrow in her eyes and couldn't help but speak honestly: "Mom, I feel like you're not really happy living like this. If Uncle Sun decides to divorce, why don't you just go along with it"

"Why would I do that That would be too easy for him!" Initially restrained and graceful Xue Liping sounded utterly broken after hearing her daughter's words, her beautiful eyebrows knitted tightly as she screamed hysterically. "That bastard Sun Zhijun has secretly transferred company funds overseas over the years; if I divorce him now, I'll only get a small portion of the money. I gave him my best youth and left my family for him, but now that I'm old and faded, he wants to leave me That's not going to happen! No way will I divorce him!"

Yan Luoxi bit her lip in distress: "Mom, why don't you just let go What's the point of hanging onto this stubbornly It's only hurting others and yourself."

"Of course it doesn't hurt me to say that. You haven't been involved with this situation, but if it were Guangtao..." Xue Liping was so angry and agitated that her words became unfiltered, but when she realized she was talking about her own daughter, she quickly corrected herself: "Luoxi, I'm sorry! Your mother is just too enraged by that couple!"ht or wrong of the situation, growing discontent with both Yan Luoxi and Zhou Guangtao.Wasn't she just a woman If my younger brother wants her, why can’t we have herSince childhood, Li Yi had spoiled...
