Chapter 17: She Can’t Afford To Have It

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ever since they talked about divorce, she had never cried about it in front of Jing Chen!

She had never lost her composure like this even when she was framed in front of Bai Lian!

But this time, she was in so much pain that she wanted to die.

Baseless things would always fall on her. It was even a sin for her to refute!

“Only you and I know about the divorce. Mom knew about it, who else could have told her about it other than you? Tell me, who else could it be? Stop acting pitiful in front of me! You’re disgusting.”

Jing Chen was annoyed. Su Wan had ruined everything for him!

Su Wan was sobbing, her lips trembled. She kept breathing deeply, she wanted to ease her emotions slightly so that she could speak. However, none of her actions were satisfactory.

Jing Chen looked at him coldly. “Su Wan, stop playing tricks in front of me. Do you understand? I can still satisfy you if you cooperate with me. If you don’t, no one will know how miserable your ending will be.”

“…”

Jing Chen was about to leave after saying that. He was getting more annoyed every second he looked at this woman. He wanted to kick her out of the house!

But just as she was about to leave, Su Wan grabbed his hand.

Jing Chen flung her away almost reflexively. He used so much force that he flung Su Wan onto the sofa. Su Wan gasped in shock. When she looked up again, it was the indifferent and cold Jing Chen.

At that moment, her heart almost died…

Her breathing suddenly quickened.

She sounded breathless as she spoke. “Ha, how miserable. If I had known that this would happen, I wouldn’t have gotten married back then! Jing Chen, do you still remember what you told me back then? You only remember the three-year period between us. Do you still remember that you said that you might fall in love with me?”

Jing Chen looked down at her with a cold expression on his face. “Stop trying to avoid the main point. This is not a reason for you to be two-faced!”

Su Wan struggled to stand up and straightened her back. “I’ve said it before. I didn’t do it. You should have known that this day would come the moment you gave the wedding ring to Bai Lian! Do you think your mother is a fool? Do you think everyone is playing dumb like I am?”

The wedding ring…

Hearing this, Jing Chen narrowed his eyes. Bai Lian had indeed plucked the ring from her finger and passed it to him. In that case, when they were at the Jiuxin International Business Building, Qin Lan was indeed able to discover it.

“A wedding ring is enough for Mom to guess that we are going to get a divorce? You’re so sure of that?” Jing Chen questioned again.

Su Wan only felt that it was extremely ridiculous. She laughed scornfully. “Yes, yes, yes. For you, I have to give up my morals and lie to my family. It’s a pity that I’m not as smart as you. I can’t guarantee anything. If you blame me like this, then I have nothing to say.”

Su Wan couldn’t muster any strength in her body. She sat down, spread out on the sofa, and closed her eyes to rest. It seemed like she had no intention of continuing the argument.

Jing Chen naturally knew that Qin Lan wasn’t an easy person to fool. However, what Su Wan said made sense.

With this in mind, Jing Chen became even more frustrated, especially when he calmed down and looked at the desperate Su Wan. Not only did he not calm down, he also became even more frustrated.

There was a strange silence.

Su Wan said weakly, “I promise you that you have the absolute right to choose when it comes to divorce. As long as you want a divorce, I’ll do my best to cooperate with you. Since you’ve been acting for two years, you should know that I, Su Wan, will never tolerate a marriage without love.”

As Su Wan spoke, she suddenly laughed. “Right? You understood it very clearly. Otherwise, why would someone go through so much trouble and act for two years? If you didn’t have a reason, why would you purposely go through so much trouble? I should have thought of it long ago, I should have thought of it long ago.”

With that, Su Wan returned to her room.

Jing Chen stood rooted to the ground. Not only was he at a loss, he was also panicking.

He had an urgent thought to refute Su Wan’s words, but he couldn’t even say a single word. Su Wan was right. That was what he thought back then, and that was why he treated her well.

But now that he heard it, his mood became even heavier.

He went to the bedroom door and knocked. There was no response.

After a moment of hesitation, Jing Chen pushed the door open and entered!

“Su Wan, I’m sorry. I apologize for my actions today, but what if the care I’ve shown you for the past two years wasn’t all an act?”

Jing Chen said.

Su Wan shook her head and said expressionlessly, “Thank you for comforting me. It’s good that you know it’s not my fault. I don’t ask for anything else.”

Right now, Su Wan didn’t need his feigned friendliness.

She couldn’t afford to have it.
