If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Chapter 9 - Why Are You Still Here?



Proofreader: Zhou Zhijie

After the operation, Mu Ziyou takes out the divorce agreement that she prepared beforehand and hands it to Li Qiaosheng. There is no light in her eyes any more. She says, “Qiaosheng, the baby is gone. And the doctor said that I might never become pregnant again. So let me go and let’s get divorced.”

Because the baby is gone and she has been the one who was unwilling to get divorced before, Mu Ziyou thinks that Qiaosheng will agree to divorce straightforwardly.

Unexpectedly, Li Qiaosheng doesn’t look at the papers at all, instead he stretches out his hand and strongly pinches her pale face between his fingers and sneers, “Oh, divorce? Mu Ziyou, it was you who made my father force me to marry you before. So what? You want to end the game so quickly? Or is it because-

“Is it because your cousin who has no close blood ties with you is back and you can be together with him now?” With these words, the man increases his force in the hand.

Although Mu Ziyou is choked with pain, she still rushes to defend herself in a hoarse voice. “No, no. It is not like this! Qin Yang, …”

However, Li Qiaosheng doesn’t bother to listen to her explanations. Although he doesn’t know much about woman’s thoughts, he clearly knows the meaning of the light in the man’ eyes when he looks at his own woman.

“Mu Ziyou, don’t forget that you owe Wanyan and your mother and you owe my whole family! If I count all these in, huh, I think ten of you can never compensate me! You want to divorce me and get away from all that?”

Thanks to the fact that she has just had the abortion operation, Li Qiaosheng does not do anything else to her except that he tears the divorce agreement into pieces and throws them all on her face. Then, he leaves the ward without a glance back.

Since then, Mu Ziyou has been imprisoned by Li Qiaosheng. On the second day after Mu Ziyou got out of hospital, Xia Wanyan also returns arm in arm with Li Qiaosheng’s mother to the villa.

“Qiaosheng, Auntie is much better. With the permission of the doctor, I took her back home to have a reunion with you for a few days. Isn’t it a surprise?”

Standing in front of the man with a big smile, Xia Wanyan deliberately does not wear any lipstick, but sticks out her tongue to make a cute look.

Therefore, in Li Qiaosheng’s eyes, even with a sick body she is still trying to make a surprise for him. So he pulls her into his embrace with much concern. Lightly scratching her small and delicate nose, he says in a tender tone, “You haven’t fully recovered yourself yet. Why are you taking her around? You cannot leave home without leaving a word next time, you know?”

“OK, I know, darling Qiaosheng.”

The public display of affection falls completely into Mu Ziyou’s eyes, who stands not far away. Even though she has been prepared for such a scene, her broken heart is still twitching with dull pain. Just as she forces herself to turn around to avoid seeing them, Bai Yun is suddenly out of control on seeing her!

“You, the shameless bitch, vamp! Why are you still here? Why haven’t you divorced with Qiaosheng?” While shouting, Bai Yun rushes forward and grasps Mu Ziyou by the hair. She pulls at Mu Ziyou’s hair with great force while cursing her without stopping at the same time. I have thought that you would become an ugly woman after the car accident, but you only got a long scar in your face! Just like your hooker mother who is infected with the AIDS, you can only pretend to be poor in front of men. Isn’t it right?”

Seeing her tormented with such pain that her face twists, Li Qiaosheng frowns a little and seems not able to bear this. But hearing his mother’s words, he stops his footsteps suddenly thinking that letting his mother vent her spleen in this way may not be a bad idea.

Xia Wanyan observes his expressions closely and pretends to stop Auntie Bai. Meanwhile she even apologizes to him,”I’m so sorry, Qiaosheng. In fact, Auntie really has almost fully recovered. I didn’t expect that she would have a relapse when she sees Youyou. Ah-”

Xia Wanyan falls to the ground, which is done deliberately and is seen clearly by Mu Ziyou.

However, Li Qiaosheng’s face turns sullen and terrible. He strides towards Mu Ziyou who is entangled with his mother and shoves her away hard. Without another glance at Mu, he gently lifts up Xia Wanyan, who is shedding tears and looks even more lovely. He also drops an order to Mu Ziyou in a commanding voice, “From today, you move to live in the maid’s room on the first floor!”
