Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 614 - 377: I Absolutely Have No Objections

Chapter 614: Chapter 377: I Absolutely Have No Objections

Zheng Tong couldn’t help but smile: "I have no objections to you two being affectionate! In fact, seeing how loving you are, I’m too happy to be envious."

Although she had gone through a failed marriage with Duan Feixun, she was actually happy for her friends to stay together till old age.

"By the way, Qingchen, you and He Chenxiang work at the same hospital, do you know if he’s been in contact with Ji Su?" Bei Ran asked, "Ji Su hasn’t shown up for over a week!"

Gu Qingchen placed his large hand on Bei Ran’s belly to feel the baby’s movements. He said, "He Chenxiang has been very busy lately. After his shifts, he disappears, probably off on dates with Ji Su!"

Everyone was shocked: "..."

Zheng Tong returned to her room. As usual, she played soothing music for the baby in her belly and felt the child growing day by day, softening her heart further.

At this time each day, this was when Duan Feixun was happiest. He could hear the music from her room, and he could also hear the sound of Zheng Tong reading books to the child.

All these things he should have been doing, and now, he could only secretly watch her, secretly listening to her interactions with the child.

...

Lawyer’s office.

Duan Feixun came to work early and saw Yu Ke waiting for him at the entrance. His face darkened: "What are you doing here at my law firm?"

"I want to work at your law firm," Yu Ke said.

"Impossible!" Duan Feixun flatly refused.

Yu Ke then placed her hand on her belly, "Feixun, since you don’t plan to divorce your wife, give me an answer, and you won’t even let me work at your law firm, what do you want?"

Duan Feixun glanced at her belly: "Yu Ke, Tongtong is no longer with me, you should be content! I am not going to divorce Tongtong!"

"But, Feixun, have you forgotten that I’m also a lawyer? It’s human nature to be insatiable and greedy," Yu Ke continued, "Also, I think Zheng Tong is not worthy of you. She doesn’t love you!"

"You know too well that excessive greed gets punished! So don’t bring up any demands to me," Duan Feixun threatened with a menacing look, "otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I’ll do!"

Yu Ke was not intimidated by his words, instead, she put on a pitiful look and said: "Feixun, the fact that I’m pregnant can’t be kept from my parents for much longer, what should I do? If people at my old law firm found out, it would spread eventually. The reason I want to work at your law firm is to prevent my parents from finding out. What do you think my father will do when he learns about this?"

Duan Feixun felt a stab of pain in his heart. Yu Ke appeared to be thoughtful, but in truth, she was pushing him into a corner. He did not want to divorce Zheng Tong, he didn’t even want to see Yu Ke. Now, she was suggesting working at his law firm, and it wouldn’t be long before she would want to live in his house, right?

"No matter what your father does to me, I’ll accept it!" Duan Feixun refused to budge.

At that moment, Yu Ke gestured with her wrist, "If my dad finds out, that you’ve tied me down, forced me to get pregnant, do you think he’ll sue you? And what will the prosecutors at the district attorney’s office think of you..."

"Yu Ke!" Duan Feixun was furious, veins bulging, "That was nothing but acts of passion between a man and a woman. On what basis do you claim I tied you down or forced you? And, you’d better destroy those photos!"

Although Yu Ke was not famous in the legal circle, she knew better than any woman how to use evidence. When she woke up with her wrists still bound, she took a photo with her phone and saved the picture before freeing herself.

"Feixun, was it pleasure or force? It’s not for you and me to close the case on that, right!" Yu Ke said brazenly.

As lawyers, they both knew how to argue their case in court, turning this into a difficult point to judge.

Angered, Duan Feixun yanked her towards him, pinning her against the door, "I feel like strangling you right now!"

Yu Ke, however, did not struggle at all, knowing it to be futile. She quickly added: "I don’t want to live anyway, to bear a child out of wedlock, sooner or later I would be executed by immersion!"

Just then, during the morning rush hour, several partners and employees arrived.

They saw the infuriated Duan Feixun and Yu Ke, and even though they dared not whisper among themselves, their eyes couldn’t help but show their confusion.

Duan Feixun let go of her and walked briskly into his office.

Yu Ke slowly crouched at the door, taking deep breaths of fresh air, with tears trickling from the corners of her eyes.

Feixun, do you know how much I love you? If it weren’t for my love for you, would I endure such humiliation?

...

Dental clinic.

Zheng Tong kept to her routine and came to work. As soon as she arrived, she heard the staff discussing something.

"The boss is so heavily pregnant and still coming to work, how tough it must be..."

"There’s no helping it. I heard she’s divorcing Lawyer Duan. You little girls wouldn’t understand. After having a child, you need to spend a lot of money. They say it was Lawyer Duan who had the affair. The child should be raised by our boss. She definitely needs to earn more..."

"I really didn’t expect a man like Lawyer Duan to have an affair. At first, he was practically worshipping at our boss’s feet..."

"Men are no good, I tell you. I heard that the other woman comes from a really wealthy family, and she’s been helping out as a lawyer, too. She’s had her eyes on Lawyer Duan for a long time..."

"A friend of mine said that the woman’s name is Yu Ke. A lady of wealth chose to be the mistress, and what’s more, she wants to work at Lawyer Duan’s firm..." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"What’s next, then? She’ll move in and take over, right?"

"Stop talking, the boss is coming..." Someone with sharp eyes spotted Zheng Tong entering the door.

So, everyone stopped gossiping and quietly went back to their work.

Zheng Tong had long passed the stage of feeling hurt and angry. Instead, she calmly returned to her office. In fact, what the employees said was true, her child was now the most important thing. She needed to work hard; she needed to live well. It didn’t matter if she didn’t have a man, but her child was her dearest.

Lately, she had been staying at Bei Ran’s house. His family treated her very well, and she wouldn’t easily let her emotions show. It was only in her own little corner, during the times when she most needed company, that she still felt a moment of loneliness.

But having been strong-willed for so long, she wouldn’t allow anyone to see her weakness.

She had to get this divorce.

...

Lu Xiao had been giggly and lovesick, the same at work as after hours.

Zhuo Yufeng tapped on her desk, "What’s making you so happy?"

Lu Xiao wasn’t afraid to tell him: "I’m in love!"

Zhuo Yufeng’s expression darkened. "With Gu Yucheng?"

"Yes!" Lu Xiao nodded.

"Lu Xiao!" Zhuo Yufeng slammed the desk, "What’s in that head of yours? Do you have any idea what kind of man he is? Just look at his decade-long relationship with Ji Su, which ended up splitting. What about you? You’re just a novice in love. How do you think he’s going to play you?"

Lu Xiao argued on principle: "He and Ji Su have broken up. I’ve asked the lawyer; the divorce is already finalized. I’m not a homewrecker, so why can’t I pursue my own love? When he saved me more than ten years ago, I was grateful. I never thought I’d meet him again after so many years. And then, at the car accident scene a few days ago, he rescued me again. It’s as if fate decreed that we be together. I don’t care what kind of man he is in the eyes of others, but in my eyes, he is a mature and responsible man. I love him, and I want to be with him!"

Zhuo Yufeng had heard from his subordinates that a few days ago at the car accident scene, Gu Yucheng saved Lu Xiao and got injured himself. But how could she still remember something that happened over a decade ago?

"I went to the hospital to check the archives the other day and saw my file by chance," Lu Xiao said. "Back then, he used his tie to bandage my wound. If not for him, I might have died. So Zhuo sir, no matter how you scold me, this time, my mind is made up. I love him, and I want to be with him!"

Once a young girl falls in love, she becomes fearless like a calf facing a tiger, and nothing can persuade her otherwise. Seeing the connection between them, Zhuo Yufeng asked, "What about him? What does Gu Yucheng think?"

"He said he likes me..." Lu Xiao spoke, full of happiness. What could be more blissful than being liked by the man she loved?

Zhuo Yufeng had seen her so heartbroken over the matters with Lu Mojing, and now she was together with Gu Yucheng. Even though he strongly opposed it, what use was his opposition?

Caught in the throes of love, Lu Xiao was likely beyond the reach of anyone’s advice.

However, Gu Yucheng was always busy. Since they started their relationship, they hadn’t yet had a formal date.

Knowing he was busy, Lu Xiao texted him on Friday night: "Big brother Gu, are you free tomorrow or the day after? Let’s go hiking!"

After Gu Yucheng put his child to bed at home, he stepped out on to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and looked at the message on his phone.

He replied with one word: "Sure!"

Lu Xiao was delighted, "I’ll wait for you downstairs at your house tomorrow morning."

The next morning.

Lu Xiao prepared her backpack, water, bread, and other provisions early, then went to wait outside the Gu residence for him to come out.

She saw a taxi stop at the entrance, and a young woman got out. She called out, "Miss Ji..."

Ji Su had come to pick up Gu Yaowan in the morning. Although she wasn’t working due to her pregnancy, having finished her progesterone injections, her condition had stabilized according to the doctor’s examination. So, she wanted to take her daughter out for fun.

"Miss Lu..." Ji Su saw her in sportswear. "Going hiking?"

"Yes!" said Lu Xiao. "It’s good to have plenty of outdoor exercise for the body."
