The Yin Family villa.
Indeed, Yin Bin thought himself a fool for returning ho.
He never expected Qin Keqin to take care of him when he was drunk, nor did he expect their son, who could barely look after himself, to show any concern.
What he least expected was their intense desire for him to leave.
To leave this ho.
He wondered where he had gone wrong over the years.
When they got married, there was no love between them. At that ti, he was getting along well with Lin Xing. But when his parents found out about his relationship with her during college, they forced him to break up with Lin Xing, who ca from a poor family, and instantly marry Qin Keqin, who ca from a well-matched family. After their wedding, they were then pressured to have a child straight away.
At that ti, Qin Keqin was not even 20, and he was just 21.
Yin Bin, forced into marriage by his parents, was filled with resentnt. He wondered why he had to spend his life with a woman he didn’t like, why he had to follow his family’s arrangents, or why he couldn’t even decide who to marry. So, when Lin Xing called him after getting drunk one ti, he went out to et her.
At that ti, Qin Keqin was pregnant.
Heavily pregnant.
She watched Yin Bin leave their room on a stormy night, disregarding everything else.
When Yin Bin found Lin Xing, she was crying her heart out in the heavy rain.
They checked into a hotel room that night.
That night, he strayed.
Afterwards, he regretted it.
Deeply regretted it.
Despite his good upbringing, he never even touched Lin Xing during their relationship. He did not expect himself to commit adultery.
In the end, he chose to give Lin Xing a sum of money and sent her abroad to study.
He decided to act as if nothing had happened that night.
However,
He didn’t expect to see Qin Keqin standing there with her large belly when he ca out of the hotel with Lin Xing.
Yin Bin was completely stunned at that mont.
Although he regretted his infidelity, he didn’t feel guilty towards Qin Keqin. He felt he had cheated his years of education and was shocked that he, Yin Bin, who had been well-bred all these years, could do sothing he had always dismissed.
When he saw Qin Keqin, he felt so remorse.
Seeing her expressionless face and her protruding belly, he wanted to say sothing, but the words stuck in his throat.
It was Qin Keqin who broke the silence, asking him, "Do you want the child?"
Yin Bin was shocked by Qin Keqin’s sudden question.
At the ti, their child, Yin Qin, was about to be born in two months.
Aborting the pregnancy now would not only an the loss of a life, but could also put Qin Keqin’s own life at risk.
As he looked at Qin Keqin, the first words that left his mouth were, "Are you crazy?"
Qin Keqin was still indifferent.
"Fine, then handle it yourself," she said.
Then she turned around and left in her car.
Just like that, she left.
Without a word, without crying, without making a scene.
Later, Yin Bin sent away Lin Xing. Qin Keqin did not abort Yin Qin, and from that point forward, she and Yin Bin started sleeping in separate rooms, right up until this very mont.
The two of them beca like strangers living under the sa roof.
Yin Bin was too ashad to take the initiative to appease Qin Keqin.
She appeared to be leading an enjoyable life alone.
Their child had grown up between them, albeit with a peculiar character, but was very close to Qin Keqin.
So close that the mother and son appeared to share a common enemy.
And he was that enemy.
Yin Bin went upstairs.
He was so angry that he couldn’t even utter a single word.
Over the years, although he hadn’t shown Qin Keqin enough care, he had worked diligently to earn money and maintain the family business so that his family could live well. He admitted that Qin Keqin was rich and didn’t need him for support, but all his efforts to grow the company were for their child, Yin Qin, weren’t they?
Wouldn’t the mother and son appreciate his efforts at all?
He was angry.
The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt.
He felt that if others knew that he had only been intimate with his wife once in his lifeti, they would likely laugh themselves to death.
Maybe it was because he was too angry, or perhaps because he was drunk and stumbled.
He had barely taken a few steps when he suddenly fell to the ground.
Yin Qin and Qin Keqin were both shocked.
Yin Bin had always had an air of superiority at ho, like he was the head of the family. Now, he looked so pitiful as he fell.
They couldn’t help but laugh at him.
At that mont, Qin Keqin leisurely sipped the water her son had poured for her. She asked, "Aren’t you going to check on him?"
"Why don’t you go?" Yin Qin asked.
"I’m busy."
"So am I."
And so, the two of them strode away from Yin Bin, moving on without a backward glance.
Yin Bin felt that one day, if he were to die, it would undoubtedly be from a burst blood vessel, killed by his own anger!
...
The next day.
Yin Qin went to work early in the morning.
Qin Keqin watched the hurried silhouette of her son with so amusent.
Without asking too much, she laid out her yoga mat to do her morning beauty exercises.
As she just sat down, she saw Yin Bin coming down from upstairs, his face ghastly pale.
Qin Keqin paid him no attention.
Normally, Yin Bin would head straight to work after coming downstairs.
However, this mont, she saw him sitting heavily on the couch in front of her, motionless.
Qin Keqin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Yin Bin was just staring at Qin Keqin.
Over these years, it seed like he hadn’t really taken a good look at her.
But at this mont, he seed to be montarily taken aback.
Qin Keqin’s figure was extraordinarily well-maintained.
In all the appropriate places...
Yin Bin’s eyes flickered slightly.
He saw Qin Keqin rise from the yoga mat, picking up a towel to shield her body, and his line of sight. Casually, she grabbed a warm drink of water and took a sip, then asked, "You’re free today?"
Yin Bin snapped back to reality, coldly responding, "I don’t feel well today, I don’t want to go to work."
Last night’s vomiting was earth-shattering.
He was indeed getting old.
He never used to feel this terrible when he was young and drunk.
He almost called a dical ergency hotline to go to the hospital.
"Wait for a bit." Qin Keqin said.
She then went upstairs.
Yin Bin was surprised, but he waited nonetheless.
Half an hour later, Qin Keqin, having changed her clothes and put on a light makeup ca downstairs.
Yin Bin watched as she walked towards him and said, "This is the divorce agreent. Take a look, and if there’s no problem, sign it. We can get a divorce at the civil affairs bureau."
Qin Keqin handed him the agreent and a pen.
Yin Bin didn’t take them, his face turning even paler.
Qin Keqin wasn’t agitated. She left the agreent and the pen on the coffee table in front of Yin Bin, turned and walked to the open kitchen, ready to make her breakfast.
Yin Bin watched Qin Keqin’s retreating figure coldly as she went about her business nonchalantly.
He looked down at the agreent, reading the words printed in black and white.
Every clause was clear.
Qin Keqin didn’t take advantage of him at all.
Becoming an adult, Yin Qin didn’t require custody, so the matter wasn’t complicated.
He looked at Qin Keqin’s signature and the date underneath.
His face turned even paler.
She had prepared this divorce agreent when Yin Qin turned 18.
He vaguely rembered Qin Keqin ntioning it to him, but he didn’t pay it much mind and ignored her. Later on, Qin Keqin seed to have ntioned it a few tis, but he just thought she was speaking casually. He had never imagined that Qin Keqin had been preparing for this all along.
Predictably, Qin Keqin really didn’t want to ss with him, didn’t want to cling to him, and didn’t want to talk to him. Even if he didn’t agree, she didn’t insist. The two lived under the sa roof like strangers, each living their separate life, not sharing a al with each other for so many years.
He kept watching as Qin Keqin made her breakfast, a toast, a glass of milk, and an egg.
She sat at the dining table, about to take her first bite.
Suddenly, Yin Bin approached.
Qin Keqin put down her knife and fork.
She asked looking up, "Have you signed it?"
Yin Bin didn’t answer her. Instead, he picked up her toast, ate it bite by bite.
Qin Keqin’s face changed slightly.
Yin Bin didn’t care, he even picked up Qin Keqin’s milk.
The milk she had just taken a sip from, he carelessly drank it up.
Qin Keqin fixed her gaze on him.
As she got up, she said, "Once you’re done eating, let’s leave."
She didn’t touch anything on the table.
It disgusts her.
Yin Bin looked at Qin Keqin. After gulping down the food in his mouth, he said, "Do you think I would agree to a divorce?"
Qin Keqin turned around to look at him.
"After dragging out our marriage for all these years, do you really think I would divorce you at this stage?" Yin Bin sneered.
