Chapter 432 - 432 428 Li Zhaojun Acting Unreasonably

432: Chapter 428 Li Zhaojun Acting Unreasonably 432: Chapter 428 Li Zhaojun Acting Unreasonably After sitting face to face, Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun didn’t rush to speak; they calmly ordered coffee.

During the wait for the coffee to be served, Li Zhaojun’s face remained indifferent as she stared straight at Ye Fan without speaking.

Ye Fan lounged on the couch, his gaze resting on Li Zhaojun’s pretty face, but unfocused.

After the coffee was served and the waiter had left the private room, Ye Fan stirred his coffee absently a few times and then said, “After careful consideration, our personalities really do not match, so I’ve decided to get a divorce.

State whatever conditions you need; I will do my best to meet them.”

“I disagree,” Li Zhaojun said calmly.

She had anticipated this when Ye Fan called her out for a talk.

“Disagree?” Ye Fan couldn’t help furrowing his brows, “You should understand that our personalities clash, and there’s no happiness to be had together.

Is there a need to maintain this marriage in name only?”

He had thought that given Li Zhaojun’s proud and aloof nature, she would not refuse once he stated it clearly, but unexpectedly, she did!

“There is a need,” Li Zhaojun stated.

“What sort of need?” Ye Fan asked.

Li Zhaojun bit her soft, pink lower lip and remained silent.

Ye Fan, unable to hold back, added, “I said earlier that you can state any needs you have, and I will do my best to meet them.”

Li Zhaojun didn’t speak, maintaining her calm gaze on Ye Fan.

“Li Zhaojun, this marriage was initially proposed for separation by you.

How can you go back on your word?” Ye Fan said, somewhat annoyed.

“I’m not going back on my word,” Li Zhaojun said calmly.

“The initial agreement was for two months, but it’s already been over three.

Neither of us decided to divorce within the two months, so that agreement has expired.”

“No, this is you being unreasonable,” Ye Fan exclaimed.

Li Zhaojun tightly pursed her attractive lips, refusing to argue with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan felt like he was hitting a soft barrier; with Li Zhaojun unwilling to divorce, he genuinely couldn’t force it.

He stood up, frustrated, paced around the private room, then sat back down, staring at Li Zhaojun’s beautiful face, “With our relationship like this, should we continue to hold each other back?

We secretly married, and except for a very few, everyone still sees you as single.

Plus, I’ve never truly touched you.

After a divorce, you’d be just like any unmarried woman, free to find a man you love.”

“You kissed me,” Li Zhaojun stated faintly.

“I—that…” Ye Fan fell momentarily speechless, unsure of how to respond.

By then, Li Zhaojun had stood up and was walking towards the door of the private room with her handbag.

Ye Fan snapped back to reality and called out, “Hey, you can’t just leave like this.

We’re not done talking!”

Li Zhaojun reached the door, stopped, turned to look at Ye Fan, and said calmly, “My grandfather can’t take the shock of my divorce.

Let’s not bring up the topic of divorce again.”

“And, today is Thursday; you need to accompany me to visit grandfather tomorrow afternoon.”

With that, Li Zhaojun opened the door of the private room, slightly raised her head, and walked away in her stilettos, leaving Ye Fan with a view of her proud and cold silhouette.

Maintaining her usual aloof pride, Li Zhaojun left the relaxed café amidst admiring glances from others, walked to the parking lot, got into her Maserati, and drove away from Dingsheng International Hotel.

As she merged into the busy traffic, Li Zhaojun’s beautiful eyes, focused on the road ahead, suddenly overflowed with tears, tracing down her flawless cheeks and dropping onto her chest.

Her grandfather’s inability to withstand her divorce was just an excuse she told Ye Fan.

The real reason was…

How could she let go easily once she had fallen in love?

Although she was very dissatisfied with Ye Fan’s actions that night, she was only angry but had never thought about divorce.

What she wanted was perfect love, hoping that Ye Fan would understand her attitude and sincerely admit his mistake.

That night was supposed to be their first night as a married couple, shouldn’t she be angry?

Was she supposed to accommodate him without limits?

Li Zhaojun gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white from the strain.

As for Ye Fan, he stood there dumbfounded watching Li Zhaojun leave, and it took him a while to snap out of it, his hands frantically ruffling his hair in confusion and irritation.

“She, she actually disagrees!”

“She, she actually plays dirty!”

“She, she actually wants me to accompany her to visit Elder Li tomorrow!”

…

…

After a while, Ye Fan finally accepted the fact that Li Zhaojun disagreed with the divorce.

“What should I do?

Do I just keep dragging this?

How do I explain to Xiaoman?” Ye Fan worried.

However, Li Zhaojun’s refusal to divorce left him not only frustrated and baffled but also secretly pleased, albeit reluctantly.

He sat in the private room for half an hour, unable to think of a solution.

He couldn’t possibly force Li Zhaojun.

“Forget it, let’s just drag this out for now; maybe one day Li Zhaojun will come around and agree to divorce.

It’s just making Xiaoman suffer.”

Helplessly shaking his head, Ye Fan paid the bill and left the leisure café, driving Lu Chengqiang’s BMW 4Z to Huayang Martial Arts Gym to find Lu Xiaoman.

Upon arriving at Huayang Martial Arts Gym, not only was Mo Xiaoyan there, but Lu Chengqiang was there too, training with Shi Sheng in the training room.

Ye Fan didn’t rush to meet Lu Xiaoman and first caught up with Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng.

When Lu Chengqiang saw Ye Fan come in, he immediately stopped training, exaggeratedly opened his arms for a big bear hug and yelled, “Ye Bro, you’ve been missed—”

“Ah—”

He hadn’t finished his sentence and was still two steps away from Ye Fan when he got unceremoniously kicked away by Ye Fan, screaming in pain.

Lu Chengqiang got up, putting on a mournful face, and said, “I was so warmly welcoming you, and this is how you treat me, it’s heartbreaking.”

Ye Fan snorted and looked down on Lu Chengqiang, saying, “I’m quite surprised at how quickly you’ve become decadent, kid.”

“Injustice!” Lu Chengqiang cried out, “I only bought a BMW, that’s the most luxurious thing I have, and a BMW can last for years.”

Ye Fan sternly replied, “Still pretending, huh?

Your big name is practically all over Longwan Mountain.”

“Ah!” Lu Chengqiang exclaimed in shock, turning his head to look at Shi Sheng.

Shi Sheng immediately clarified, “I didn’t say anything.”

Lu Chengqiang moved forward with a conciliatory smile and said, “Haha, Ye Bro, you really are omniscient.

I was wrong; I won’t race cars anymore.”

Ye Fan relaxed his expression, advising, “What’s so fun about street racing?

I don’t want to have to identify a body one day that even your mom can’t recognize.”

“Yes,” Lu Chengqiang said seriously, straightening his back, “I promise I won’t go street racing ever again.”
