He can disregard his own feelings and leave home for several days without returning, then come back and act as if nothing happened, shamelessly asking her to believe him.
Since he chose a contractual marriage, they would continue with it, wholeheartedly acting as a pair of contract spouses. Even if she, Lan Baobao, liked him, Ye Zixun, she would absolutely not complain even once.
However, on one hand, he loved her and absolutely would not let her go, wanting to be together for a lifetime. On the other hand, this guy was extremely unfaithful, flirting with others outside while not daring to speak the truth. With such a Ye Zixun, she no longer wanted to give him any chances; at least for now, Lan Baobao did not want to have any relationship with Ye Zixun.
"I... I don't want to do anything today. Whose perfume scent is on you? I don't want to deal with it anymore. You... you should go take a shower!"
"Silly, it's really not what you think! I have no feelings for Mu Jiao'er at all. My relationship with Mu Jiao'er is just a game; we are merely using each other!"
"I don't want to know what kind of relationship you have between you two, nor do I care if there's any transaction involved. I just don't like that mixed perfume smell on you; it makes me uncomfortable! Also, I want to go out to work. Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo don’t need me to worry about them, you know that. And during this time, I've been at home and feel very bored; I want to go out for a bit!"
She originally wanted to discuss going out to work with Ye Zixun. If she compromised again this time, she might have to ask for his permission just to step outside in the future.
"Silly, I want you to rest at home for a while longer. Your health isn't great right now. I want to wait until you're feeling better before taking you back to work, okay?" Ye Zixun couldn't let Lan Baobao go back to work now; otherwise, if something happened again, who would compensate for his Lan Baobao?
But Lan Baobao didn't want to stay at home anymore; she felt like she was going crazy from the atmosphere in the house.
"Ye Zixun, I want to go back to work. I don’t want to stay at home all evening. When I'm at home, my mind is filled with thoughts of you, and then I imagine what it’s like when you're with other women. I feel so foolish and unattractive; I'm starting to feel like I'm becoming useless. I don’t want everything to revolve around you.
Maybe once I'm busy with work, I won't think about you anymore!"
Ye Zixun narrowed his eyes slightly; his cunning gaze sparkled as Lan Baobao suddenly felt a bit scared.
"Ye Zixun, I... I really don’t want to stay at home all the time. I'll think of many things; my mind just won’t stop. If this continues, I'll go crazy!"
"Baby, you don’t need to overthink it. My heart has always been with you; I've never thought about any other woman. Please don’t let your imagination run wild, okay?"
Ye Zixun's voice became softer, and his expression more intimate, as a white scene reappeared in Lan Baobao's mind.
She took a deep breath and held back her tears.
Ye Zixun's hand caressed her forehead and cheek; everywhere his hand touched made Lan Baobao feel uncomfortable.
With a sudden "slap," Lan Baobao pushed Ye Zixun's hand away.
He winced in pain, staring blankly at his reddened hand.
She actually hit him, she actually rejected him?
“Ye Zixun, I beg you not to lie to me anymore. I have seen everything today, both what I should have seen and what I shouldn’t have seen. Do you still want me to misunderstand you? Ye Zixun, what’s done is done, and what’s not done is not done. If you want to maintain a simple contractual relationship, I absolutely won’t stop you! Because initially, it was my promise. I will strictly adhere to it.
But if you don’t just want to be contract spouses with me, then… then I have every reason to be angry and give you the cold shoulder!” Lan Baobao asked stubbornly while adjusting her clothes, a hint of reproach in her tone.
Every word she spoke was cold and filled with sorrow.
“Fool, if you saw it all, then tell me what you saw?” Ye Zixun felt somewhat confused, but hearing Lan Baobao’s words made his heart uneasy.
Should he bear this? Just moments ago he had reconciled with Lan Baobao, and now this was happening again.
“Ye Zixun, I always thought you were someone who took responsibility for your actions because nothing seemed to affect you, especially not women! But I have seen everything; one unkind word is enough to prove guilt. Do you still want to deny it?” Lan Baobao continued to stare at him with wide eyes, tears already welling up in her eyes.
“I went to your company today to find you, but the people at the door wouldn’t let me in. So I waited for you at the café across from the company. Who did you come out with? You don’t remember?”
He suddenly felt dizzy and dark; it was indeed so.
Ye Zixun couldn't help but lament why his luck had been so poor recently. All the scenes that could be misunderstood by Lan Baobao had perfectly fallen into her eyes. Now, even if he wanted to explain, it seemed somewhat futile. But he had never done anything to wrong Lan Baobao!
In the past, he had only schemed against others; now experiencing being misunderstood by someone else felt utterly terrible!
"I was out with a woman." Having been seen by Lan Baobao, Ye Zixun could only admit it, but he still needed to explain himself. He had to defend his legitimate rights; after all, every citizen has the right to speak.
"Lan Baobao, listen to me explain. The reason I got close to her is that I found out some things, and I need to use her!" Ye Zixun explained desperately.
"No need to explain, Ye Zixun. What you do has nothing to do with me. Even if you are using Mu Jiao'er or other women for company matters, it makes no difference to me. Because the result is the same; you are with another woman." For the first time, the usually gentle Lan Baobao decisively interrupted Ye Zixun's words, which surprised him greatly.
"Lan Baobao, every word I say is true. Why don't you believe me?" Ye Zixun persisted. He didn't want to experience the feeling of being misunderstood again, especially not by Lan Baobao; it was truly unbearable.
"Ye Zixun, how about... we get a divorce?"
We get a divorce.
As those words left her mouth, the atmosphere instantly dropped to zero. Everything around them became eerily silent, quiet enough that he could hear his own anxious heartbeat.
"What did you say?" Ye Zixun couldn't believe it and took a step forward, tightly gripping Lan Baobao's arms as he asked again.
"I, Ye Zixun, let's get a divorce." Lan Baobao did not give Ye Zixun the answer he hoped for and remained stubborn.
"Lan Baobao, let me explain. This situation is just like last time; I really am being misunderstood. You have to believe me, okay? I will find evidence to prove that I am being misunderstood. I will make you trust me!" At that moment, Ye Zixun deeply realized how much he couldn't bear to be without Lan Baobao. Hearing her mention divorce was like a bolt from the blue that left him at a loss; he had never felt such anxiety before.
At this moment, he just wanted to firmly grasp Lan Baobao's hands, absolutely not allowing her to slip away from him. No matter what means it took, he would not permit Lan Baobao to divorce him.
"You don't need to explain; this is your nature, I understand and respect your nature," Lan Baobao still did not want to accept his words. Although her heart ached even more than Ye Zixun's, as if a thousand knives were ruthlessly cutting through her chest, she no longer wished to live this way. Rather than being cooped up at home lost in thought, she preferred a decisive end to the pain.
"What do you want? I promise you everything except for divorce!" Ye Zixun seemed on the verge of breaking down. The exhaustion had left him drained, yet his mind was clearer than ever.
This was all triggered by Lan Baobao!
"Fine, I will only ask you one question. But you must answer me honestly; otherwise, our marriage is definitely over." After hesitating for a moment, Lan Baobao asked.
Although she knew in her heart that divorcing Ye Zixun was absolutely impossible. Setting aside his wealth, the judge would likely not grant her custody of the child and might not approve their divorce either. Just that contract alone was enough to put Lan Baobao in a difficult position!
"You can ask; I swear on my son that I will answer truthfully," Ye Zixun readily agreed. As long as Lan Baobao would not leave, what did it matter what he did?
"Have you had any relations with that woman?" As Lan Baobao spoke, her voice trembled with anxiety. Did she really care about this matter? Of course she did; he was her man, and she absolutely would not allow him to touch another woman.
However, Ye Zixun fell into a long silence. How should he respond to this question? It seemed that no matter how he answered, Lan Baobao would still want a divorce. Mu Jiao'er had been his lover; they had shared countless intimate moments together. Now being asked if they had ever been intimate, how could he answer?
Seeing Ye Zixun silent, Lan Baobao already had her answer. Tears could no longer be held back and fell like pearls from a broken string. For the first time, Lan Baobao felt wronged. She knew in her heart that she cherished this man like a treasure, yet now she was thinking about leaving him.
Perhaps it was because she loved too deeply; she did not want to be by the side of the person she loved in such a manner. Despite being legally married and having two lovely and intelligent children together, all she wanted was for Ye Zixun to give her his unique love. She only desired this pure love and did not wish to bind him with anything else.
