Let’s Divorce! - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Then Let’s Get a Divorce

Only Mu Hua and Xia Ran were left in the huge living room.

Looking at Xia Ran, who had been crying, Mu Hua finally softened. He squatted down and gently held her hand. “Don’t cry. Your eyes are so swollen.”

“Can’t I cry after being wronged?” Xia Ran sobbed. She was really wronged.

Why was she being blamed for everything?

Mu Hua’s heart ached as he wiped her tears away. He didn’t expect this little girl to say something shocking in the next second. “Since you don’t believe me, let’s get a divorce. Didn’t you want to divorce me? I…”

“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Mu Hua immediately interrupted Xia Ran.

Yes, he was indeed planning to divorce Xia Ran, but when he really heard Xia Ran take the initiative to mention the divorce, he actually panicked and felt very unwilling.

Xia Ran felt even more wronged after being scolded by Mu Hua. She broke free from his hand and sat on the sofa while crying.

Even if she cried, she had to be careful not to harm the child.

Realizing that his tone was too fierce, Mu Hua cleared his throat and walked over to hug Xia Ran. He coaxed her in a low voice, “Didn’t we agree to get a divorce after two years? Why are you so anxious now? Are you really willing to get a divorce?”

Xia Ran glanced at Mu Hua with red eyes and shook her head. She replied in a nasal voice, “I can’t bear to.”

If she was willing, she wouldn’t have pestered him.

“Don’t mention it if you can’t bear to. At least we’ll be together for the next two years.” Mu Hua sighed. “You’re young and innocent. You don’t consider the consequences of many things. Do you know that what happened today will make me owe Zhu Qian even more?”

At the mention of indebtedness, Xia Ran stopped crying. She actually had a feeling that the man seemed to treat Zhu Qian very well, but he didn’t have love for her.

“Do you love her?” Xia Ran couldn’t help but ask directly.

“No.” Mu Hua’s answer surprised Xia Ran. He was actually very straightforward.

This word made Xia Ran feel better. So he didn’t love that woman!

Then why did he want to marry her?

Mu Hua looked at Xia Ran’s confused gaze and explained, “Ran Ran, this is between me and her. It has nothing to do with love, but don’t make things difficult for me, okay?”

Xia Ran frowned. So promises were more important than love.

What should she do?

“Sir, I’m a petty fellow. I don’t want you to have other women by your side.” Xia Ran confessed that she was jealous.

“Originally, I could try my best not to interact with her for two years, but after what happened today, I have no choice but to be responsible for her. Isn’t what you did stupid?” Mu Hua sighed.

Huh? Xia Ran was stunned. Had she screwed herself over?

Why was she so careless as to create an opportunity for him and Zhu Qian to be alone? She was too stupid!

Xia Ran was so angry that she knocked her head. Her silly action made Mu Hua feel that she was cute. He grabbed Xia Ran’s hand. “Alright, stop hitting yourself. You’re already silly. If you keep hitting yourself, you’ll be even more silly.”

Xia Ran pouted. “I’m stupid. Do you want to find a smart woman instead?”

“I like stupid people. A woman that is too smart isn’t suitable for me,” Mu Hua replied with a smile. He suddenly didn’t care if Xia Ran had hurt Zhu Qian on purpose because he realized that even if Xia Ran had really done it, he couldn’t bear to do anything to her.

He was very protective. Xia Ran was the person he wanted to protect the most.

Seeing that Mu Hua was no longer angry, Xia Ran felt a little better. She took the initiative to hug Mu Hua and hung on his tall body. She started to act coquettish. “No matter what happens in the future, you must believe me, okay? I’m not a bad person.”

“Alright, I understand,” Mu Hua agreed.

Xia Ran smiled happily. “You’re so nice. Let’s go to bed. It’s so late.”

“Yes, let’s go.” The two of them were about to go upstairs to rest when Mu Hua’s phone rang again.

It was Zhu Qian.

With her current situation, Mu Hua had to pick up the phone.

When the call went through, it was a nurse’s voice. “Miss Zhu, the call went through.”

Then, Zhu Qian’s voice was heard. “Mu Hua, where did you go? When I woke up, I realized that you weren’t here. Where were you? I was so afraid. I can’t see anything…”

Zhu Qian started crying as she spoke.

Xia Ran’s heart sank again, but this was also her fault because she was too stupid.

“Alright, I’ll be right there. Don’t be afraid,” Mu Hua replied.
