Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 648 - 402: Cooperation Ends Here

Gu Yucheng opened Ji Su’s phone, and there was a message from an unknown number, "Do you know if Gu Yucheng is really sick?"

Although it was just one sentence, it was enough to destroy the happiness that Gu Yucheng had barely built up. He worried that such happiness was like a bubble, vanishing in a blink of an eye, and like a mirage, all illusory.

He stood in the living room and called Duan Feixun: "Our cooperation ends here, but I suspect that Yu Ke sent the message to Ji Su. I hope you can handle this woman!"

Although Duan Feixun was frazzled by Zheng Tong’s affairs, the cooperation between him and Gu Yucheng had indeed been mutually beneficial.

"I will," Duan Feixun said.

Gu Yucheng didn’t care how far his and Ji Su’s happiness could go, but he would not let others destroy it.

Gu Yucheng deleted the message, then put the phone back in Ji Su’s room. He watched her sleeping peacefully, kissed her hair, and then left. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Ji Su had a very beautiful dream. In the dream, many colorful balloons flew into the sky, and under the blue sky, she was holding her daughter’s hand with one hand and her son’s hand with the other...

Even after waking up, her face was filled with a joyful smile. She placed her hand on her lower abdomen, and although the baby hadn’t started moving yet, maternal instincts made her constantly feel the child’s movements.

After waking up, she was still too lazy to get up, so she leaned on the pillow and took pictures of the scenery outside the window with her phone.

The sun was about to set, the sunlight was no longer scorching, but it was charmingly red. The distant mountains weren’t barren and bare but were naturally green, like the green of life.

She sent a photo to Gu Yucheng. Gu Yucheng was dealing with work. Seeing that she was awake, he then made a phone call: "Lazy bug, aren’t you getting up?"

"How did you know I didn’t get up?" Ji Su asked unwillingly.

Gu Yucheng applied his sharp business logic to her: "First, your voice sounds just woken up, somewhat lazy and content; second, the angle of the photo is from lying down in your bedroom; third, I’m very honored to receive such a beautiful photo the first moment you woke up..."

Ji Su half reclined on the pillow, indeed feeling a bit lazy and content. Indeed, people’s mood is very strange; even just waking up from sleep can make one feel satisfied.

"Such a sharp President Gu! Do you know what I want to do now?" Ji Su hummed lightly.

Laughter came from Gu Yucheng on the phone, "Susu, you must be hungry!"

Ji Su touched her stomach, "The baby will definitely be heavy in the future, I do feel really hungry!"

Gu Yucheng put down the documents in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and casually chatted with her, "I’ll come home and make dinner for you."

"No, don’t..." Ji Su immediately protested, "If you do, I’ll be busier, and, does your face still hurt?"

"It won’t hurt if you kiss it tonight!" Gu Yucheng said huskily.

"Dream on!" Ji Su was not going to fall for that trick!

"Hmm..." Gu Yucheng didn’t deny his desires, "I really was dreaming beautifully!"

Ji Su’s stomach gurgled, "I won’t talk to you anymore, the baby is protesting, I’m going to have a glass of milk first."

"Alright!" Gu Yucheng answered her, "I’ll come over tonight and keep you company!"

After he said that, he didn’t allow her to refuse, and hung up the phone first.

Ji Su’s face turned red, she playfully pummeled the pillow, she really didn’t want him to come and keep her company!

...

Dental clinic.

After returning to work, Zheng Tong’s figure was still quite slim. She had always had a cool temperament. Due to the breakdown of her marriage and having had a child, her femininity became stronger, but she also appeared much more detached.

She left her child ’Xiao Guai’ with her parents and hired two servants to look after the child. Her focus was still on her career. Many women around her became full-time moms after having children, their world filled with husbands, children, and shopping for groceries.

She thought that she was never born to be that kind of woman.

Duan Feixun drove to her clinic and entered her office. Zheng Tong looked at him coldly: "I don’t treat teeth here for you!"

She directly rejected him!

Duan Feixun stared at her, "Tongtong, I really haven’t had anything with Yu Ke, I haven’t cheated either, I truly protected Feihong, protected the reputation of the Duan Family, I’m sorry to you..."

"It’s my working hours now, I don’t want to hear anything unrelated to work." Zheng Tong cut him off coldly, "Also, sign the divorce papers!"

"You know about this?" Duan Feixun’s hands were on her desk.

Zheng Tong said coldly with sarcasm, "My parents already told me, but I feel nothing! No matter who you protect or who you hurt, it has nothing to do with me! Duan Feixun, you are a lawyer, and signing divorce papers is what you do best. What’s the point of dragging it out? Just sign the divorce papers quickly, and maybe I’ll start seeing you in a new light!"

"I don’t need you to see me in a new light!" Duan Feixun, someone who lived by playing word games, knew exactly what her final word was from her speech—divorce, yet, he didn’t want a divorce, "Tongtong, I was wrong, you can ask me to do anything, just don’t ask for a divorce. Give me a chance to make it up to you and our daughter, okay?"

"No!" Zheng Tong leaned back in her chair indifferently, "First, I am fully capable of supporting our daughter economically on my own, I don’t need any of your money, and second, I have no love left for you, I don’t want to live with you."

Thus, in modern society, a woman’s financial independence is the best illustration.

A great man once said that in a family, the economic base determines the superstructure, and whoever has stronger economic power is the one who stands on top.

Zheng Tong’s income is probably not much different from Duan Feixun’s. She never needs to rely on a man to support the family and raise children, so, for men who cheat whether they have a reason or not, she harshly cuts them off, never to forgive.

At this moment, Duan Feixun’s eyes turned red: "I know you are strong, you can earn money, you are independent, but what about our daughter? She needs to grow up in a complete family. I am a lawyer, I have dealt with many cases where children from broken families commit crimes and stray, our daughter needs a father and a mother so she can develop a complete personality."

"The world is so big, I believe there will be someone more suitable to be our daughter’s father!" Zheng Tong said unapologetically, "And you, do not deserve it!"

Duan Feixun was almost driven mad by Zheng Tong, he circled around the large desk to her side, "Tongtong, since we got married, I have treated you so well, almost holding you in the palm of my hand, you were my Queen. The incident with Yu Ke, I didn’t handle well, even saints make mistakes. Are you sentencing me to death just based on this one thing, not even giving me a chance to appeal? Don’t be so cruel, okay?"

"Cruel?" Zheng Tong had to look up at him, men from the north are very tall, "Am I cruel to you? Even if I am, so be it!"

Of course, she didn’t want to reveal her true feelings. She also thought she was his Queen in his world, but what was the result? He didn’t actually cheat, but for the reputation of the Duan Family, he still cast her aside all the same. Is this how a Queen is discarded?

Duan Feixun could no longer control his emotions, his hands were on both sides of her office chair, in a forceful and oppressive manner, he trapped her between him and the chair, his eyes bloodshot, "Tongtong, don’t push me! I just want to treat you and our daughter well, you both are the treasures in my palm. I said I won’t divorce, I won’t let go, having both of you is what makes my life complete."

"No one’s pushing you, you are driving yourself into a corner!" Zheng Tong was not afraid of him, "Further, our daughter and I live very well together, we don’t need you, how complete your life is or isn’t, it is no concern of mine! We won’t live with you!"

"You heartless woman, say that again! Have you forgotten all the good things I’ve done for you?" Duan Feixun was really pushed to the edge by Zheng Tong.

Zheng Tong’s eyes remained cold as she looked at him: "We will not live with you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Duan Feixun’s kiss fell upon her, aggressively trapping her between the chair and his arms, like a wild beast rampaging over its mate.

Zheng Tong had nowhere to escape.

He said she was heartless.

She hated his betrayal.

Even if there were reasons, it was still a blatant betrayal.

The battle of lips and tongues, from verbal to direct conflict.

Duan Feixun wished he could turn her into his precious treasure, even if just to keep in his pocket.

Zheng Tong, however, had no desire to be such a treasure, her eyes still ice-cold and merciless.

Their lips both stained with blood, whether his or hers, mixed together.

He was unwilling to let go.

She was unwilling to compromise.

Two financially equal people, but physically, Duan Feixun had the advantage, being a typical tall and sturdy man from the north, while Zheng Tong, a native southern woman, although tall among southern women, was still much shorter compared to Duan Feixun.

Duan Feixun was driven mad by her, this was the only way he could seal her lips and stop her from speaking further.

Duan Feixun also realized that he had spoiled their daughter’s sustenance!

"Tongtong, I ask you one last time..." Duan Feixun looked at her.

Zheng Tong, both angry and furious, looked at him: "No matter how many times you ask, the answer will be the same, I will not be with you, nor will our daughter be, if you ask how you can be forgiven, I will not forgive you!"

She is a particularly proud person, extremely devoted when in love, but if someone hurts her, she does not give them another chance.
