Chapter 168 - 169: Asking for a Divorce is Like Asking for My Life



Xue Shaotang keenly observed the room.

Gu Qichen seemed to have no intention of intervening.

So Xue Shaotang quickly spun the bottle again.

But when the bottle came to a stop, the mouth of the bottle was once again pointing at Xia Yangyang.

All were silent and unresponsive.

Xue Shaotang feeling somewhat embarrassed, said to Xia Yangyang: “Sister-in-law, I didn’t cheat, but your luck is just too…”

Under the watchful eyes of all, it was impossible for Xue Shaotang to cheat.

Xia Yangyang, having wagered and lost, asked Shen Manbing: “What do you want me to do this time?”

Shen Manbing’s face was cold.

All eyes were focused on her.

Shen Manbing said word for word: “I want you to divorce Gu Qichen.”

After these words were said, the room became instantly quiet.

The matter has seemed to be blown out of proportion.

Everyone here knew that Shen Manbing and Gu Qichen were childhood sweethearts.

There had for a time been rumors of their impending marriage.

But Gu Qichen had suddenly announced his legal marriage to a younger girl.

The reason for this was unknown to outsiders.

But Shen Manbing was no ordinary person, she was a leading diva in the entertainment industry and the of the prestigious Shen family. A line of suitors stretching from here to Paris awaited her.

To the outside world, she and Gu Qichen were on equal footing.

No one expected her to linger in a relationship with minds torn.

However, the reality didn’t seem to be so…

Today, her words demonstrated, at least, she hadn’t let go of Gu Qichen.

Everybody was dumbstruck for a moment, unsure of how to conclude the situation.

Xue Shaotang spoke: “Sister Bingbing, it’s only a game, there’s no need to take it so seriously, right?”

Shen Manbing however, was staring intently at Xia Yangyang: “To one’s life, isn’t it just another game? Once engaged, one must abide by the rules of the game.”

Xia Yangyang hardly hesitated.

She stood up, grabbed a bottle of wine from the box.

She raised her head to pour down the drink into her mouth.

But Gu Qichen seized her arm: “What are you doing?”

Xue Shaotang explained: “It’s the rule of the game, if one cannot perform the task, she has to drink a bottle of wine. But this one is a rare, high proof liquor. If sister-in-law drinks it, it could cause trouble.”

Gu Qichen swiftly pulled the wine out of Xia Yangyang’s hand and said, “The rules didn’t say you can’t have someone else drink it for her, did they?”

Xue Shaotang quickly replied, “No.”

Gu Qichen then resonantly spoke: “Xia Yangyang is my wife, we are one. Since she’s going to be punished, I will take the drink for her.”

Having said that, Gu Qichen had already opened the wine bottle and started to drink slowly.

The crowd let out sighs.

In fact, everyone knew that Gu Qichen’s words were actually meant for Shen Manbing.

The crowd even felt some sympathy toward Shen Manbing.

Just how deeply was a woman wounded to resort to using a game in an attempt to win back her love?

But everyone knew that this was just a diversionary game, could it actually reverse the current situation?

And Gu Qichen’s stance was evidently clear.

Xia Yangyang stood there, bewildered, wanting to stop him, but Gu Qichen gave her a comforting look signaling that he’s fine.

Xia Yangyang doesn’t drink, so she had no idea what effect this strong liquor might ultimately have.

Shen Manbing was well aware though. Seeing that Gu Qichen had already drank half she said, “This is Balkan vodka from Bulgaria! You’re going to drink like this? Do you have a death wish?”

However, Gu Qichen didn’t stop and drank it down in one gulp.

The moment the bottle hit the table, a round of applause broke out.

Gu Qichen looked calm and elegant as usual.

His voice was carefree and casual: “Asking me to divorce, you might as well be asking for my life..”
