Chapter 102: Chapter 100: She Proposes Divorce

Fu Tingzhou looked at her.

Ever since he was young, he had loved eating bamboo shoots, especially the ones made by Qin Jianlan. Qin Jianlan, living with him in a rented house, led a tight life. Early in the morning, the green bamboo shoots in the market were very cheap, so she would buy some and simply stir-fry them for lunch.

Later on, he went to live with the Fu Family.

He seldom had the chance to eat such home-cooked meals, especially those prepared by Qin Jianlan...

The taste was very similar.

He remembered when he visited Su Mengshu’s house for the first time, he was deeply impressed by the meal he had there, but he never had it again afterwards.

And now, he unexpectedly tasted it at Tang Xi’s place.

Su Mengshu was a lady whose hands had never touched spring water, clueless about cooking. He gradually came to understand this but never pointed it out, after all, it was her goodwill. He had thought that the meal he once enjoyed was made by a maid in the Su Family’s kitchen...

But now, he thought it must have been Tang Xi who made it.

Tang Xi observed his expression.

Was the meal she cooked not delicious?

She could only make some simple home-cooked dishes; perhaps they couldn’t satisfy his palate.

Tang Xi lowered her head, concentrating on the bowl of noodles she was eating. She was extremely hungry, so she quickly finished it and went to the kitchen to clean up the bowl and chopsticks.

After cleaning up, Tang Xi donned her mask and hat and started to clean the house thoroughly. After searching the entire bedroom, Tang Xi found several lost items but not the wristwatch.

Fu Tingzhou clearly had no intention of leaving, sitting in the living room and starting a video conference on his phone.

Tang Xi paused for a moment.

What on earth was he up to?

Such a valuable item left in her place made Tang Xi feel overwhelmed. Initially wanting to lay down and rest, she instead gathered her energy to reorganize the wardrobe and bedside table once more.

A White Jade Pendant fell out of a box.

It hit the carpet with a muffled thud.

Tang Xi hastily picked it up.

Feeling the smooth touch of the Jade Pendant, her memories took her back to Ningchuan City three months ago.

That earthquake and the young man trapped in the rubble.

They were stuck together for five hours.

She grew up in the Su Family, which was in the jewelry business; she had knowledge about jade. The design of the safety buckle on the Jade Pendant was very suitable for wearing. And with its translucent and moisturized color, just like a clear white lake, it was evidently very valuable.

The black cord on the Jade Pendant showed slight signs of wear, clearly, it had been frequently worn by the owner.

Tang Xi took out her phone, which had automatically turned off from last night until now. As soon as she powered it on, she saw dozens of messages from Cheng Yunlang in WeChat asking where she was.

The woman’s gaze slowly lowered, hiding the emotion in the depths of her eyes.

She did not want to recall last night’s events.

Her phone vibrated once – Cheng Yunlang was calling.

She saw Cheng Yunlang’s name displayed on the phone screen but did not answer.

She just silently put it on mute and set it aside.

But Cheng Yunlang seemed to be persistent, calling over and over again.

Tang Xi clenched her hand tightly for a moment, placed the Jade Pendant back in the bedside table, stood up, and hesitated. By the fourth time Cheng Yunlang called, she answered.

"Doctor Cheng, you don’t have to keep calling me."

An anxious voice came from the other end, "Tang Xi, how are you? Where are you now? I’m sorry... I’m sorry I suddenly left for a few minutes... I didn’t realize Qiao Jing’s thoughts were so terrible... I failed to protect you."

"Doctor Cheng, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to call me, and you don’t need to apologize. I’m tired and need to rest now, please do not disturb me anymore." The woman, exhausted, didn’t want to get entangled in this matter anymore and quickly hung up.

She didn’t give Cheng Yunlang another chance to speak.

Having done all this, she turned and sat down on the small sofa at the side of the bed to rest.

Looking up, she saw Fu Tingzhou standing at the door.

I don’t know how long I’ve been standing here.

She stood up, "I haven’t found your watch yet..."

Fu Tingzhou stepped in, glanced at the phone on the bed, which she had set to silent mode. At that moment, it vibrated due to an incoming call.

The man saw the three characters ’Cheng Yunlang’ on the screen, his thin lips slightly pursed. He picked up Tang Xi’s phone and, under her astonished gaze, answered the call.

"Yun Lang, it’s your third brother. Your sister-in-law is with me. Is there anything you need? If there’s anything work-related, you can talk to me. Don’t disturb her anymore."

On the other end, Cheng Yunlang was clearly stunned.

Then, he silently hung up the call.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Fu Tingzhou’s lips, a mysterious sense of satisfaction filling his heart.

Meanwhile, Tang Xi stood to the side, her mouth slightly agape.

Has Fu Tingzhou gone mad?

This man has been so strange these past few days.

Did he just...?

Speak to Cheng Yunlang like that...

And acknowledge her identity.

She and Fu Tingzhou were going to divorce in a few days, so why does this man bother...

"Fu Tingzhou, when are we... getting divorced?" She needed to plan her life ahead as well.

Hearing this, Fu Tingzhou’s expression changed slightly, his eyes narrowing as he stared at her face with a complex look, "Do you really want to divorce me that much?"

Tang Xi took a deep breath.

It’s not that she wanted to, wasn’t it him all along who wanted the divorce?

Didn’t he always say that they would get a divorce once Aunt Qin’s health recovered and she had the surgery?

Didn’t he tell her previously that they could get divorced in about twenty days?

Now, Aunt Qin’s surgery was a success.

This absurd marriage should also come to an end.

She should also step aside for Su Mengshu.

"Fu Tingzhou, according to our agreement, we agreed to divorce when Aunt Qin had her surgery."

"You are so eager to divorce me and then be with Cheng Yunlang? For you, he even ignored my aunt’s words, because of you, he slapped Qiao Jing and rejected marrying her,"

What?

Tang Xi hadn’t expected something like that to happen.

Cheng Yunlang publicly slapped Qiao Jing and refused marriage.

At that moment, Tang Xi, with her back against the window and the light, felt a patch of warmth she couldn’t really feel and said calmly, "This has nothing to do with you. Whether I like Cheng Yunlang or not, it’s none of your concern. Whether or not I do, it’s my own business now."

Fu Tingzhou suppressed the anger in his chest, "You’re so eager to divorce me, then go after Cheng Yunlang??"

Tang Xi bravely met his icy eyes and calmly replied, "Yes, so what? No, so what?"

She looked at her watch, "It’s ten o’clock in the morning. Since you have the day off, why don’t we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau..."

She bit her lip hard, as if liberated, and said through gritted teeth, "Let’s just get the divorce done."

"After the divorce, I will follow our agreement, leave North City, and disappear from here forever, so you don’t have to worry. I will not go and disturb Aunt Qin with complaints and whining. I still have that much professional integrity. I will leave without a trace, leaving you no trouble at all."

Having said that, Tang Xi smiled, a pale yet beautiful smile that was impossible to ignore.

For a moment, looking into her clear eyes, seeing the tranquil relief therein, he suddenly felt at a loss, as if he didn’t want to let go just like that, to watch her leave and fall into someone else’s arms.

The man’s face turned dark and harsh, his voice stifled, as if he couldn’t catch his breath due to discomfort, and he dropped a sentence, "I’m not free, let’s talk another time."

After that, he turned and left.
