Chapter 343: Chapter 343 She Realized Her Mistake

Xi Wanlin said, "I’m not interested. Since you like kids so much, you can find another woman to have them."

Lu Lei said, "But, I want to have them with you."

"I’m not having any!"

Lu Lei was holding back his anger, wanting to erupt but not daring to.

It wasn’t until then that Mrs. Lu came over to call them to eat: "Leizi, Linlin, time to eat."

Xi Wanlin was always cold to Lu Lei, but she did not reject Mrs. Lu.

Since she was discharged from the hospital, Mrs. Lu had been taking care of her, serving her like a maid, devoutly offering whatever she wanted to eat, and treating her like a princess.

Hearts are made of flesh after all. This kindness wasn’t just for a day or two, but had been sustained for several months without a single argument.

Maybe because she had endured domestic violence for a long time, Mrs. Lu had become quite adept at reading the room. She knew Xi Wanlin’s habits and always conformed to her mood. If Xi Wanlin was in a bad mood, she would never disturb her. Only when Xi Wanlin’s mood was better would she approach and say a word or two.

She didn’t dare say too much, for fear of annoying Xi Wanlin.

It had been a long time since Xi Wanlin was genuinely treated well by someone, so naturally, she cherished it. That’s also why she hadn’t rushed Lu Lei away.

During the meal, Xi Wanlin said, "I’m planning to go out and travel for a bit soon."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lei became anxious: "Where do you want to go?"

"I haven’t decided yet. I might go abroad, or I could stay overseas."

Lu Lei said, "Then I shall accompany you."

"Don’t you have to go back to work at your company? How can the company make any profit if the boss is absent all the time?"

Xi Wanlin’s interior design company was practically shut down, but fortunately, the apartment she used to live in was providing rental income, and she had purchased the office building for her company, so leasing it out meant she had no worry about living expenses.

Even if she did nothing at all, she could live off the rental income.

Besides, during her previous divorce, Li Hengze had given her several hundred thousand yuan, so she didn’t have any immediate financial difficulties.

Lu Lei was worried that once she left, she might not return. "Linlin, let me accompany you. Otherwise, wait until I am less busy, and then I’ll take you out to have fun. We haven’t even had our honeymoon since we got married, right?"

Xi Wanlin replied unenthusiastically, "You just want to keep me imprisoned by your side. I’m laying it out right now: either we divorce, or you stop trying to control me."

Lu Lei had no choice but to turn to his mother for help: "Mom doesn’t want you to go either. She has been so good to you recently. Really, she was never this nice to my sister. She genuinely considers you her own daughter."

Xi Wanlin glanced at Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Lu looked back timidly.

That look pained Xi Wanlin.

This woman led such a humble existence.

It’s all men’s fault!

Xi Wanlin said, "When I’m out, Mom can have some peaceful days alone. Isn’t that better?"

After speaking, Xi Wanlin transferred eight thousand yuan to Mrs. Lu: "Mom, you can eat whatever you want, buy whatever you want during this period, consider this a token of my filial piety."

Mrs. Lu replied in a panic, "I can’t take it. I came here initially to help you; how can I take your money?"

"Mom, don’t say that. Nobody is obligated to be good to anybody in this world." After saying this, Xi Wanlin let out a sigh.

Indeed, who must be good to whom?

She needed to get out and travel, to think about her future life.

Returning to the Xi Family was not an option, and she was utterly tired of her marriage with Lu Lei. If it weren’t for Mrs. Lu being there, she would have already left.

Once Xi Wanlin had made her decision, she started to pack her bags.

Lu Lei tried to intervene: "Linlin, don’t leave me just yet."

"I am just going on a trip; stop trying to prevent me time and time again."

"Linlin..."

"If you continue, I will file for divorce!"

Lu Lei had no choice but to give up, watching as she pulled her suitcase out the door.

...

Xi Wanlin originally didn’t know where to go, but after arriving at the airport, she had an idea.

Yun City is a tourist city, but it’s located in the southwest, so she decided to head northeast.

It was deep autumn, and the Northeast must have a different kind of scenery.

She bought a ticket to the Northeast.

As a result, just after boarding the plane, Lu Lei’s call came: "Linlin, where are you now?"

Xi Wanlin said, "None of your business."

"Just tell me, otherwise I’ll worry about you, and if I worry about you, I won’t be able to sleep."

Xi Wanlin turned off the phone.

Three hours later, she arrived in Shen City.

As expected, the temperature in Shen City was low, and she felt a wave of dry and cold air as soon as she stepped out of the airport.

She turned on her phone, and right when she did, Lu Lei’s call came through again; he must have been calling all along.

She answered impatiently: "Hello!"

"Where are you?" asked Lu Lei.

"Lu Lei, I’m just out to clear my mind. Do you really need to call me hundreds of times a day?"

"I only called twice."

"Fine, then don’t call again today or tomorrow!"

Having said that, she hung up the phone.

However, not calling was not an option.

She checked into a hotel and, the next morning, she saw several missed calls from Lu Lei, which she couldn’t be bothered with.

After changing her clothes, she looked for travel guides for Ha City but soon gave up and decided to just take a walk around the streets.

Yet, she had only been out for a short while and hadn’t even eaten breakfast when Lu Lei’s call came again.

"Lu Lei, what on earth do you want?" Xi Wanlin asked.

"Linlin, I just want to check on you, don’t be so fierce. Where are you now?"

"The last question is the key point, isn’t it?"

"Linlin, I really miss you."

"Lu Lei, when I get back to Yun City, let’s get a divorce. Before, I didn’t confront you out of consideration for your mother, but now I’ve thought it through. You’re too frightening; not only do you hit people, but you also have a controlling nature!"

"No way, I will never divorce you!"

"Then I will sue when I get back!"

Xi Wanlin hung up the phone and turned it off outright.

...

It’s strange, after turning off her phone, she felt as though the world had become peaceful.

Even when dining, she used cash, which she hadn’t done in a long time.

She was just wearing a coat, walking on the streets of Ha City, not taking photos or looking down at her phone, just observing people.

Sometimes, she would sit in a café by the street, look at the cats and dogs in front of the pet shop, and watch the flow of people on Zhong Yao Street.

The joy of ordinary people is so simple; not worrying about food or clothing and having a comfortable life is enough.

She suddenly realized that she had been childishly clinging to the Xi Family all along.

Moreover, she was ungrateful. Mr. and Mrs. Xi had been so kind to her, yet she insisted on harming their own daughter.

And then there was Li Hengze...

Her past self truly did not understand how tall the heavens and how deep the earth were.
