At eleven o'clock late at night, Xia Qiaoan finally saw two beams of strong light pierce the darkness outside the window.
Li Mochen was back.
Li Mochen, who was drunk, was actually not much different from usual, except that his eyes were a little red.
And, he would be more unrestrained on the bed.
When Li Mochen entered, he saw Xia Qiaoan, who was as still as a virgin, on the sofa.
"Why aren't you asleep?" Li Mochen loosened his tie, his voice hoarse, "Go take a bath, and wait for me."
If it had been before, Xia Qiaoan would have blushed like a young girl who had just experienced the act of intimacy, and then obediently gone to take a bath.
Now, she felt a wave of physiological nausea when she heard it.
Xia Qiaoan said coldly, "President Li, you really should take the Li surname."
Everything that happened during the day could be treated as if it didn't happen, and he still wanted to enjoy a sexual encounter; this kind of mindset and behavior was indeed powerful enough.
The cold white light enveloped Xia Qiaoan, like a layer of gentle thorns.
Li Mochen tore off his tie, and the whole person fell into the sofa, exhaling a mouthful of alcohol, "What do you want to say?"
Xia Qiaoan's gaze was as calm as water, "I want to say divorce."
Li Mochen straightened his body and tilted his head to look at Xia Qiaoan, "Because I didn't acknowledge you in front of everyone?"
Xia Qiaoan looked at this man who had made her fall for him like a moth to a flame, and felt a sense of heart death, "There's no point in talking about the reasons at this time. I just want a divorce."
Li Mochen rubbed his chin with his fingertips, "Xia Qiaoan, I know that you acted out of line today because you were tricked by Xia Wenwen."
Xia Qiaoan was slightly stunned, he knew?
Li Mochen continued, "I happened to pass by when she was on the phone in the tea room. But I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to believe it. After being with me for so long, I thought you were very smart, but in reality, you're not that smart."
Xia Qiaoan's composure was broken, and her fingers trembled slightly. She was blinded by her concern, but was described as stupid by Li Mochen.
Li Mochen seemed to have a headache, and he continued to rub his temples, "Xia Wenwen's clumsy tricks can trick you, and with so many of my competitors, if they knew about your existence, you wouldn't even know when you'd be sold by me."
"Moreover, Xia Qiaoan, don't forget that it was you who went to great lengths to marry me. Even if you knew that I was only following my mother's request to have a child, you were still willing to become a reproductive machine."
"So, play your role well. I said, besides the matter of sex, we are not a normal couple, and I don't need you to attract my attention with the trick of a divorce."
"Nor do I need you to have out-of-line feelings for me."
Xia Qiaoan's heart, finally died.
All along, she had been clear about what kind of person Li Mochen was: cold, intelligent, and calculating, with an extraordinary control over anything.
He knew everything, knew that her stupidity was because of her feelings being out of line, just as he knew those small actions of hers when she approached his mother.
But he didn't accept it, and even mocked it.
He was a monster, with a heart harder than stone, and couldn't be warmed.
Xia Qiaoan didn't want to bother and exert any more effort to be that flame, because she found that the result of doing so could only be burning herself.
Thinking like this, she really did live up to the word "stupid."
With no more ties, Xia Qiaoan's whole body felt transparent, and she pushed the divorce agreement in front of Li Mochen, "According to the prenuptial agreement, I'm not pregnant, so I'm leaving with nothing. I've signed it, President Li can do as he pleases."
Li Mochen's fingertips finally stopped, and he opened his eyes. His deep red eyes were both alluring and seductive.
"Xia Qiaoan, I never pick up things I've thrown away."
Xia Qiaoan got up, her smile bright, "Coincidentally, me too."
