Let’s Divorce! - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 What Do You Owe Her?

“Wow, you’re so nice. I love you! I love you! I love you!” Xia Ran hugged Mu Hua happily and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him.

The joy that came from the bottom of her heart was simple and pure.

She had never been a materialistic person. As long as she liked it, even if it was just two movie tickets, she could be as happy as a child.

“We can set off now.” Mu Hua kissed Xia Ran back and scratched her nose. “I have to bring you to buy some snacks before the movie starts.”

Xia Ran liked to eat snacks very much, and Mu Hua had never stopped supplying her with snacks. He bought whatever she wanted to eat.

She smiled brightly and nodded vigorously. “Alright, let’s set off now!”

After returning to Mu Hua’s car, the two of them set off for the cinema. Before entering the movie, Mu Hua brought Xia Ran to buy many snacks.

After she got pregnant, Xia Ran didn’t have much of an appetite, but she liked snacks very much. Perhaps the child loved snacks, like her.

“You don’t seem to have a necklace. Buy one while you’re at it,” Mu Hua said to Xia Ran when they passed by a luxury jewelry store.

Why did he suddenly want to buy a necklace for her? Xia Ran didn’t like jewelry. She shook her head and wanted to refuse, but Mu Hua had already pulled her in.

There was no need for Xia Ran to answer. Mu Hua had already chosen an exquisite and simple necklace that was very suitable for a girl like Xia Ran.

“Why did you suddenly give me such an expensive gift?” After leaving the luxury store, Xia Ran was very puzzled.

The necklace was worth millions. She really couldn’t afford it.

He was indeed rich, but Xia Ran didn’t earn that money. She didn’t want to make herself look like a gold digger.

Mu Hua’s eyes flashed with awkwardness, but he didn’t explain anything. He just said, “It looks very beautiful on you.”

After being praised by him, Xia Ran was so happy that her face flushed. Even when the movie started, she was still immersed in his praise and didn’t notice anything wrong. This was a comedy romance movie with a lot of funny parts. Xia Ran hugged Mu Hua’s arm and laughed until tears came out. She looked at Mu Hua in the dark. He didn’t seem to be smiling

“Is the movie tonight not your type? We’ll watch something you like the next time,” Xia Ran said obediently after the movie ended.

“Okay.” Mu Hua grabbed Xia Ran’s hand and led her back to the car.

Along the way, Xia Ran began to feel that something was wrong. He was silent, as if he had something on his mind.

“Is there something on your mind?” Xia Ran couldn’t help but care.

“Ranran, there’s something I have to tell you, but don’t be angry.” Mu Hua really had something he was hesitant to say.

Xia Ran’s heart sank and she felt uneasy. She clenched her hands and mustered her courage. “Tell me. I won’t be angry.”

Mu Hua was silent for a moment before saying, “Zhu Qian is about to be discharged, but she still can’t see. She needs someone to accompany her. I need to stay with her for a while and take care of her.”

These words shocked Xia Ran. Her mind went blank, and even her voice didn’t seem like hers. “What did you say? Uncle?”

“Ranran, I know you won’t be able to accept it, but Zhu Qian’s family isn’t in the country, and I have to take care of her. If I arrange for someone else, she will be afraid.” Mu Hua was also a little frustrated.

Xia Ran finally knew why Mu Hua had suddenly brought her to the movie tonight and even bought her such an expensive necklace.

Actually, everything was to appease her so that she would accept what he was about to say.

Her chest heaved. “No! I don’t agree!”

“You have to agree, Ranran. This is my responsibility and I owe her,” Mu Hua said solemnly.

Xia Ran was already crying. “What about me? Aren’t you responsible for me? If she is blind forever, will you keep accompanying her and take care of her? Two years will pass quickly, and I will be completely abandoned by you, right?”

“Ranran, don’t worry too much. I’ll take care of her for a month at most. When she gets used to being blind, I’ll leave.” Mu Hua saw that Xia Ran was agitated and immediately comforted her.

Xia Ran sobbed. “Isn’t a month a long time? Then tell me, what do you owe her? If you can’t pay her back, I’ll pay her back for you. This way, you don’t have to be involved anymore. I can’t accept this sort of relationship!”
