Chapter 12
Divorce Is a Must
The child’s words sort of shed light on the crowd. The more they looked at it, the more they felt it matched the child’s description. It seems as if a green hat had been placed on the plate, and the greenery was very vibrant...
Sure enough, Shen Rui associated the green hat with himself. He could no longer hold back and rose?abruptly from his seat.
Shen Zhiguo asked, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Rui was filled with rage, but when his sight landed on Shen Zhiguo’s stern face, all his anger dissipated.
He replied, “Nothing much. Mom and Dad, take your time and enjoy the meal. Qin Se would like to go to the bathroom. I’m kind of worried, so I shall go with her.”
Qin Se obediently got up. “Thank you, honey.”
Now that she had stirred up the hornet’s nest, Shen Rui was bound to negotiate with her. She had been waiting for him to open his mouth. Otherwise, how else could she blackmail him properly?
Before they left, Shen Rui threw a reassuring glance at Zhao Boyuan. Then, he held back his fury and walked out of the room as he held onto Qin Se’s arm.
Once they were out of sight of the crowd, Shen Rui’s gentle hold turned into a forceful grip, and he pulled on Qin Se’s arm’s harshly as his walking pace increased.
Qin Se didn’t make any noise although she felt the sharp pain on her arm from where he was gripping tightly.
Finally, they stopped at the end of the corridor where there was no one.
Shen Rui stopped and turned around with a fierce look on his face, and he ground his teeth as he said, “Qin Se, from the way things look, it seems I’ve underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to be so cunning.”
Qin Se rubbed on her tender arm and smiled. “Husband, there is no need to be angry. I’m solving a problem for you. After all, you were having a lot of fun outside, were you not? Now, I’ve helped you solve your worries at home. No one will suspect your sexual orientation with my presence, and you don’t even have to be responsible for giving birth to the child! You get to be a father so effortlessly. How good is this? Why aren’t you satisfied? Aren’t you being too greedy?”
Qin Se’s words added fuel to the fire, and Shen Rui was so close to losing his sanity. He roared, “F*ck off, b*tch! How dare you fool around outside and ask me to raise the b*stard for you?! Dream...”
Qin Se put a finger to his mouth, “Shhh... tsk tsk tsk, you shouldn’t shout. You wear your reputation like a badge. Do you want the whole world to know that you were gay and yet, you still coaxed me into marriage?”
Qin Se didn’t discriminate against homosexuality at all. Love had nothing to do with gender, and everyone had the right to pursue love. It was a fundamental human right.
However, the bottom line was, you did not hurt others in the process of pursuing it.
This man was not only a coward who didn’t have the courage to admit his actual sexual tendency, but he had even coaxed an innocent woman, using her as his cover. He was a scum among scums.
“Let’s divorce! This marriage must end!” Shen Rui could no longer bear to be together with Qin Se.
Qin Se allowed him to vent his anger, and the corners of her lips curved upward. “A divorce? Sure, why not. I’m okay with that. After all, I have no interest in being a grass widow. I also want to live with my child’s father. However, I will divorce you only under one condition...”
“What sort of condition?”
Qin Se opened her mouth and said, “You have four houses under your name. I want two of them. The money in your account, I want half of it. Isn’t that fair?”
“Fat chance! I won’t give you a single penny! You can get lost penniless!”
Qin Se shook her head. “I was married to you for two years. That’s two years of widowhood. Also, I helped you keep such a big secret. You want me to leave empty-handed? Shen Rui, do you truly think of me as such an easy target to bully?!”
She slowly pulled out a stack of photos from her bag. “It’s okay for you to refuse. I’m not a money-hungry woman. Either way, I have such wonderful material, I must share it with your family and friends. That way, they get to witness the heroic posture of my husband in bed.”
