Chapter 869: I Agree

“No, absolutely not.” Zhongyu Liuying was the first to object. “From the beginning, I was strongly against Ruixiang marrying Zhong Yating. It was only because of that life-saving favor and Ruixiang’s insistence that I reluctantly agreed. Now that we know the supposed life-saving favor was just a charade, Ruixiang cannot possibly continue with this deceiver. Moreover…”

At this point, Zhongyu Liuying looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, speaking with weight and solemnity, “Ruixiang, think carefully. Do you truly wish to spend your life with Zhong Yating? With your status, even if you can’t find a lady from a prominent family in the Hidden World, it’s more than feasible to find a wealthy heiress in the mortal world.”

Although their relationship with Huangfu Ruiling wasn’t close, in public, they were family, an unalterable fact.

Reluctantly admitting it, as long as Huangfu Ruiling was present, they commanded respect. Even though Ruixiang was remarrying, there would be no shortage of n.o.blewomen eager to marry him.

After hearing Zhongyu Liuying’s words, although Huangfu Ruixiang felt they made sense, he remained hesitant. “Mother, but she’s pregnant now. Is it too much for me to bring up divorce at this time?”

“It’s just a pregnancy, nothing to fuss about,” Zhongyu Liuying scoffed. “Ruixiang, you’re not lacking in children. Speaking of children, hasn’t Li Yiran already given birth to a son for you?”

Huangfu Jingzhang spoke calmly, “If Zhong Yating truly wishes to have this child, it’s fine. After all, the Huangfu family is prosperous. Having one more child, or even ten more, is affordable.”

In the past, he might have considered having Zhong Yating abort the child. But now things were different. Since Li Yiran had already given birth to a child, having one child or two made no difference. Though he wasn’t pleased with the child’s mother, it was still Huangfu Ruixiang’s child, a member of their Huangfu family.

“What about Zhong Yating then?” Huangfu Ruixiang remained undecided. “She’s the child’s mother. If she gives birth to the child, our relationship will continue to be entangled.”

Huangfu Jingzhang’s tone turned cold. “She’s just a woman. If she wishes to stay, she can only be your lover, like Li Yiran. If she intends to leave, then give her some money and let her go.”

He never saw Zhong Yating as a threat. Just a woman, nothing significant.

Whether in the mortal world or the Hidden World, Huangfu Ruiling was the patriarch of the Huangfu family. Huangfu Ruixiang was Huangfu Ruiling’s younger brother, defining his status. Regardless of how many lovers surrounded him, many women would vie to become his wife.

“Your father’s right,” Zhongyu Liuying chimed in. “Zhong Yating isn’t fit to be part of our family. If it weren’t for her saving you, she wouldn’t have married you. It was a privilege for her to occupy your wife’s position for so long. Now that her deceit has been exposed, can she still have the audacity to remain in that position?”

Under the persuasion of Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying, Huangfu Ruixiang resolved to divorce Zhong Yating.

“Very well, tomorrow when she awakens, I’ll discuss divorce with her,” Huangfu Ruixiang stated. “Regardless of her response, I’ll proceed with the divorce.”

Though he spoke confidently, he’d already reached a conclusion. Zhong Yating wouldn’t agree to a divorce.

After all, she’d done so much to marry him. How could she agree to a divorce so easily?

With this in mind, Huangfu Ruixiang’s demeanor wasn’t pleasant when facing Zhong Yating the next day.

As Huangfu Ruixiang stood by the bed, Zhong Yating smiled bitterly. “Ruixiang, there’s no need for this. I know it was my fault, but please believe me. I truly love you, which is why I did what I did.”

“Love me?” Huangfu Ruixiang scoffed as if hearing a joke. “You risked my life, and you claim to love me. You wanted to kill me!”

“Ruixiang, I never intended that,” Zhong Yating calmly replied. “I understand my actions led to our engagement. But seeing no intention from you to marry me, I panicked and resorted to desperate measures. But believe me, I never wished harm upon you. If danger arose, I’d be the one to suffer, not you.”

Had Zhong Yating been hysterical in her defense, Huangfu Ruixiang might have been annoyed. Yet, her composed demeanor made him feel uneasy.

She spoke the truth. Despite agreeing to the engagement, he’d never truly considered marrying her.

Shaking off his inner turmoil, Huangfu Ruixiang gazed at Zhong Yating and went straight to the point. “Zhong Yating, you understand the purpose of my visit today. We…”

“I agree,” Zhong Yating interjected.

Huangfu Ruixiang paused, startled by her sudden response. “Do you even know what I was going to say? I haven’t finished, and yet you agree?”

“I do.” Zhong Yating sighed. “You just want to divorce me. So, I agree.”

Huangfu Ruixiang was taken aback. “Zhong Yating, are you agreeing to divorce so easily? Do you have ulterior motives?”

He felt things were going too smoothly. Zhong Yating had resisted divorce before, but now she agreed too readily.
