Chapter 300: Chapter 299: Let’s Get Divorced
People’s hair turns white when they exhaust their vitality and overly spend their life force, but she awakened a Healing Power, so she survived.
Gradually, her hair became more silver, and no matter how beautiful, it could not return to its original black.
It was only later when her Special Ability became powerful enough that she could toggle between black and white, but in the following years, she never switched back to that color.
The dream did not linger here repeatedly; time continued to move forward.
She started healing illnesses, began learning.
She was a quick learner.
She joined the military and began executing special missions.
Healing continued, and she gradually grew familiar with Shengsheng.
Later, she sacrificed herself in a mission that was impossible to complete.
Then she was reborn, having a different life that she preferred.
A life she liked, with people she cared for.
Qu Tong woke up, staring blankly at the ceiling for quite some time.
Only then did she notice Si Yuting sitting by the bed.
Their eyes met, and Si Yuting asked, "Do you feel discomfort anywhere?"
Qu Tong shook her head, her brows slightly furrowed.
Si Yuting’s gaze seemed different than usual.
Then Qu Tong heard Si Yuting’s somewhat indifferent voice:
"Let’s get a divorce."
She liked children so much...
He couldn’t selfishly deprive her of the right to have children.
Qu Tong’s almond-shaped eyes widened, still puzzled.
Had Si Yuting’s brain been damaged by her healing?
Before Qu Tong could delve deeper, she heard Si Yuting continue, "I can split half of my assets with you. The First Legion, along with retired soldiers, roughly entails 400,000 people under my responsibility, so I can’t give you everything. If you have any other demands, state them, and we can negotiate."
This time, Qu Tong was certain this was the tone of negotiation.
He was serious!
She had worked tirelessly to save people, only to receive this response??
Stung by Qu Tong’s look, Si Yuting averted his gaze, clenched his jaw tighter, and suppressed the turmoil in his heart with absolute calm and reason.
Qu Tong glared at Si Yuting fiercely, teeth clenched.
"Si Yuting! I’ll negotiate your uncle!"
Qu Tong threw off the covers and stormed out without looking back.
Jiang Zhou, who was just at the door, jumped in surprise and quickly stepped aside, afraid of being hit by the imposing madam.
Though he managed to dodge in time, he still got a fierce glare.
Jiang Zhou: ?
Jiang Zhou peered inside, unsure whether to enter or not.
He had not expected the usually gentle madam to have such a fiery temper, nor what had upset the Grand Marshal.
Si Yuting too was stunned in place. He had planned to speak up early to give her more time to think it over, not expecting such a strong reaction from her.
It was the first time he had seen her curse someone out in anger.
He pursed his lips, then he too turned and left the room.
Jiang Zhou looked at the empty room. With everyone gone, what was there for him to check?
Butler Chi, who was about to go upstairs with hot water, saw the madam and the master leave the villa with grim faces, one after the other; he pulled up the last person to leave, Jiang Zhou.
"What’s happened with the madam and the master?"
"How would I know?" Jiang Zhou spread his hands and continued back to sleep.
Qu Tong ran to the park in one breath and kicked a pebble into the lake.
Ahhh!
She was truly livid.
Footsteps approached from behind, and Qu Tong turned.
"Why did you run outside as soon as you woke up? Are you alright?" Wen You walked up.
"I’m perfectly fine." Qu Tong calmed her emotions, shrugged, and turned back towards the lake.
"I really didn’t expect that you could actually come out unscathed from the boss’s control room," Wen You sat down on the long bench next to Qu Tong, looked her up and down, and clicked her tongue twice:
"The boss’s Mental Outburst is way more intense than mine; people weren’t even allowed near it before. Once, during a mission, Cheng Feng and I risked approaching and tried to put a heavy magnetic lock on the boss. If I hadn’t stepped in to block it, Cheng Feng would have nearly ended up mentally impaired."
As Wen You talked about the past, she looked at Qu Tong with some surprise, "The boss actually held back from harming you; that really shows he trusts you."
Qu Tong coldly huffed a laugh.
Trust, huh?
No, it wasn’t that.
It was the sliver of sanity he still possessed, struggling to suppress the destructive desire, that prevented him from shattering and expelling her mental strands.
This man, his self-control was terrifyingly strong; even on the verge of a frenzy, he could pull back a thread of sanity.
Just this thread protected her absolutely.
And then, the first thing he did when he woke up was to ask her for a divorce!
"Let’s go! Come with me for some late-night food."
"Huh? Just the two of us?" Wen You pointed at herself.
"Are you going or not?"
Wen You hesitated only momentarily before nodding her head.
"I’ll go!"
It wasn’t her turn to be on duty tonight; she just came by out of boredom.
The boss’s order was to guard Yuelan Bay, which had only been necessary because Tongtong was unconscious. Now she was awake.
And it looked like Tongtong was in a terrible mood. Good sisterhood was most important.
As soon as the two got on the hover car, Qu Tong’s communicator rang.
Seeing that it was Si Yuting, she decisively hung up.
Si Yuting stared at the disconnected Light Brain, taken aback.
After a while, a message from Wen You popped up: [Boss, don’t worry, Tongtong is with me.]
Si Yuting breathed a sigh of relief and replied: [Good, take care of her for me.]
Wen You: [OK]
Si Yuting stood at the entrance of the manor, with the light from the streetlamp elongating his tall figure.
A hover car stopped in front of him, and several soldiers in uniform disembarked.
"Grand Marshal Si, the headmaster is looking for you, it’s about the Insect Clan," one soldier stepped forward and respectfully said.
Si Yuting remained silent for a moment, glanced at the empty street, and finally followed them onto the hover car.

Elsewhere
Qu Tong took Wen You straight to the number one private room on the third floor of the Drunken Star River.
Qu Tong ordered several bottles of wine and passed the tablet to Wen You.
Seeing the dishes that she herself hadn’t been able to reserve no matter what, Wen You didn’t stand on ceremony and ordered one of each.
After Wen You finished ordering, she walked over to an item near the window that was covered with a yellow silk cloth: "Is this a piano?"
Qu Tong leaned back in her chair and tilted her head: "Open it and see, I’ve never been here before either."
Wen You unveiled the silk cloth, and indeed there was a piano beneath. Although Wen You didn’t understand music, she could tell from the texture that this was a fine piano.
The doorbell rang, and soon the drinks and meals were served.
Wen You returned to her seat, poured for Qu Tong, clinked glasses, and took a big gulp.
The wine wasn’t mixed with any drinks, and neither of them had a strong tolerance for alcohol.
As they drank, they both became a bit tipsy and their conversation grew bolder.
"If there’s anything bothering you, tell your sister. I’ll go seek justice for you. No one dares to bully our Tongtong, not even the boss!"
Wen You patted Qu Tong on the shoulder, full of a righteous spirit ready to fight for her sister.
Qu Tong swirled the crystal-clear wine in her glass, took a big gulp, and said with frustration, "I didn’t even despise him for being inadequate, yet he wants to divorce me!"
Wen You was triply shocked:
"What!"
"The boss is not that great!"
"The boss wants a divorce!"
Wen You sat up straight, somewhat flabbergasted, and it took her a while to calm down: "Tongtong, darling, could there be a misunderstanding here?"
