Chapter 392: 392: Even if he dies, Keqin can’t remarry!
Their faces were extremely pale.
Jun Minghan was now viewing the video provided by Ji Baijian. The split screen video contained footage of both Song Zhizhi and Liang Ping. Jun Minghan viewed it at an eight-times speed. It was plainly discernable, since the two men appeared at places that were completely different, a fact anyone could observe without a close examination.
“So this is your so-called ‘rock-solid evidence’ that would guarantee Song Zhizhi’s incarceration?” Jun Minghan scoffed, his cold eyes fixated on the screen.
He truly admired Ji Baijian.
That man had indeed become a significant threat to him. If he was not on his side, he absolutely couldn’t let him off!
His malignance was evident.
Ye Wenhan was also furious, “I never imagined that Ji Baijian could gather all of Song Zhizhi and Liang Ping’s movements during this period. I never thought he would look into this, believing he would only try to find witnesses. I had already arranged for all the possible witnesses in Jin City that could prove anything about this project!”
“You didn’t expect?” Jun Minghan sneered, “What didn’t you expect? You thought he would probe into these matters in just 15 days!”
Ye Wenhan was struck speechless.
He was utterly infuriated at that moment.
Qian Guanshu’s face was also extremely ugly.
He suggested fiercely, “Let’s find some loopholes in the video, let the two people appear to intersect as much as possible.”
“Do you think Ji Baijian is a fool?” Jun Minghan mocked, “If he could provide this video, he must have been absolutely certain!”
“Can’t the video be destroyed? We can say the format is wrong and couldn’t be played, I can find someone to tamper with it.”
“Now I understand why you guys couldn’t beat Ji Baijian, because you guys are far inferior! If he could give us this video, do you think he doesn’t have a copy himself? If this video is destroyed, there’ll be another one, and if we don’t process it, eventually Ji Baijian will spread it across the country! Not only declaring Song Zhizhi’s innocence to the world, but also making me the target! Ye Wenhan, we both have reputations and status, I don’t have time to play this self-sabotage game with you.”
Ye Wenhan was so angry he was cursing under his breath.
Jun Minghan’s face was freezing cold as well.
He had thought Qian Guanshu was capable, since he had woven his schemes behind Ye Taiting’s back for so many years, even managing to control the entire commercial management. He had thought Qian Guanshu could assist him strongly.
Thinking back now, he had given Qian Guanshu too much credit.
He suppressed the rage boiling inside him.
Qian Guanshu, who was still relatively calm, suggested, “Now we need to find a scapegoat.”
Ye Wenhan shot a fierce look at his father.
Qian Guanshu quickly decided, “The fact of Song Zhizhi’s innocence is clear now, but the incident has to be accounted for in court before it ends. Obviously, this incident did not happen accidentally nor was it caused by Liang Ping’s personal behaviour. Since it brings him no benefits, he wouldn’t have a motive to do it. The argument doesn’t hold up, so it’s definitely going to be an issue in court.”
“Are we just letting Song Zhizhi go?!” Ye Wenhan asked, unable to accept the situation.
At that point, he didn’t even notice that he was in danger.
Looking at his son’s discontented face, Qian Guanshu frowned and responded, “Don’t keep thinking about it! We can’t convict Song Zhizhi!”
“Isn’t there any alternative? We have so much power, why is it so hard to deal with Song Zhizhi? Why are we being played by her instead?!”
“Because we’re so powerful, we can’t act rashly! Ye Wenhan, I know what you’re thinking very clearly, but don’t go down the wrong path now, it won’t work! I’m certain they must be looking for our weaknesses, waiting for us to make a mistake!”
Jun Minghan remained silent. Though Qian Guanshu was clearly at a disadvantage in this situation, it had to be said that he knew what to do first when things went wrong.
Ye Wenhan couldn’t swallow his anger.
He thought about how close he had been to seeing Song Zhizhi suffer, how he was almost able to make her live a life worse than death. He couldn’t accept starting over just as he was about to succeed.
No.
The thought of Song Zhizhi’s provocative stance when she gets out of prison was unbearable to him.
He was trembling so much from suppressing his rage.
But nobody cared about his emotions at that moment.
Qian Guanshu and Jun Minghan were discussing the accident, trying to find a way to avoid complete responsibility.
“When I did this, I had left myself a way out. I’ve long found a scapegoat.”
“Qian Guanshu.” Although he had found a scapegoat and knew how to save himself, Jun Minghan’s face still didn’t relax. He said coldly, “Qian Guanshu, for a lifetime of cunning, you’re eventually going to be defeated by this so-called ‘son’ of yours.”
Qian Guanshu’s expression darkened to the extreme.
He could criticize his own son, but he couldn’t accept others doing so.
But he didn’t refute it at that moment.
In the end, they had granted Ji Baijian fifteen days’ time.
Fifteen days to find such solid evidence to prove Song Zhizhi’s innocence.
His hostility was getting worse and worse.
Jun Minghan ordered coldly, “You can leave now!”
Qian Guanshu glanced at Jun Minghan, then turned and left without looking back.
Watching his father leave, Ye Wenhan quickly followed.
The atmosphere inside the car was oppressively quiet.
Ye Wenhan was also very angry at the moment, his entire body contorted in rage.
“Ye Wenhan! Jun Minghan is right, you will be my downfall someday!”
Ye Wenhan looked at his father.
Right now, he feels equally distraught, so distraught that he doesn’t want to appease his father or win his favor!
“If you weren’t manipulated by Song Zhizhi, if we hadn’t given Ji Baijian an extra fifteen days, it wouldn’t have come to this!” Qian Guanshu gnashed his teeth, “If you weren’t my own flesh and blood, I’d kill you!”
Ye Wenhan felt a jolt in his heart.
The look in his father’s eyes was indeed bloody, not just a threat.
He didn’t dare say a word.
At that moment, all he wanted was to kill Ji Baijian, to kill Song Zhizhi, to vent the hatred in his heart!
Ji Baijian first sent Yin Qin back to the hospital.
Ji Baijian didn’t have time to visit Yin Qin’s son, he was discussing the case with Wen Tian.
Yin Qin walked into the ward.
They were discharged today.
Luo Xiaolang and his son were finally leaving this godforsaken place.
He watched as Luo Xiaolang bustled about packing things up, while Qin Keqin helped her, urging her to rest more. Luo Xiaolang insisted that she was already on the mend and didn’t need too much fussing over. She seemed accustomed to carrying on alone, bearing everything on her own!
“How is Song Zhizhi’s case going?” Qin Keqin looked at Yin Qin with concern.
“It’s going well, basically, it’s confirmed that she’ll be discharged free of guilt.”
“Mm,” Qin Keqin nodded slightly, seemingly relieved.
She really couldn’t bear to see Song Zhizhi go to jail. She always felt that the girl more to offer, it was a loss to the people. She should be able to do more for the country and the people!
“Is everything ready for the baby?”
“It should be, we’ve been notified by the neonatal department this morning that they’ll hand over our baby to us after the discharge examination.”
“Okay,” Yin Qin nodded.
There was something odd about that nod, he couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s my dad?”
It felt like he hadn’t seen him for two days.
Hadn’t he been trailing after his mother, trying to win her favor?
Why had he suddenly disappeared these past two days?
It couldn’t be because he had given up in despair now that the control of the Milky Way wasn’t in his hands, could it?
He thought he should have a good talk with his old man and advise him not to put on airs. It was a good time to get his mother’s attention since he was now in the minority.
Thinking all this to himself.
He was suddenly startled by his mother’s words, “When we’re discharged later, I’ll have the housemaid come. You take Xiaolang and go home first, I’ll go with your father to get the divorce certificate.”
“What?!” Yin Qin exclaimed, almost jumping up, “What did you say you guys are doing?”
“Getting a divorce, didn’t I tell you?”
“Mom, after all these years, how could you bear to divorce Dad now?”
Qin Keqin didn’t seem to want to explain any further to Yin Qin. She rolled her eyes at her son and said nothing more.
Yin Qin had a feeling that something was up. He carefully stepped out of the room, feeling like he had not been noticed.
Qin Keqin saw her son’s movements and chose to turn a blind eye.
Anyway, their marriage had reached its end today.
As soon as Yin Qin got out of his mother’s sight, he immediately dialed his father’s number.
“Dad, did you get too upset and agreed to divorce Mom?”
“I did.” The voice on the other end was flat.
“Are you giving up on Miss Qin? You’ve been secretly in love with her for so many years, and you’re just letting her go?!”
“Since she dislikes me so much, my presence is just a nuisance. Don’t try to persuade me, I have thought it through.”
“Don’t blame me if you regret it later!”
“I won’t regret it.”
Yin Qin was speechless.
What exactly had upset his dad so much that he suddenly made this decision?
Yin Qin wanted to say more.
But Yin Bin hung up the phone.
Yin Bin cursed, silently returned to the ward,
Right after he got back, his son was brought over.
The little bundle that could only be seen behind glass before, was now in front of them.
Half a month had passed.
Day by day changes.
The doctor said he had gained one and a half pounds since birth, absorbed nutrition well, and was improving in all aspects. Barring any surprises, the baby should be just fine.
Upon hearing the doctor’s words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
But after all, the doctor’s words were based on probabilities.
As he had mentioned, for babies, much of their development is unpredictable, and things could take drastic turns at any moment.
So, everyone was still left feeling half unsure.
The nurse handed the baby to Qin Keqin.
At first, Qin Keqin felt a bit awkward holding him, but soon she got the hang of it.
The moment she started holding him, tears welled up in her eyes.
She felt as if he had suffered so much since birth, and a strong pang of anguish filled her heart.
The newborn baby was awake at this moment, looking at Qin Keqin with round eyes, and that gaze melted her heart.
Indeed, the most healing thing in the world is the gaze of a child.
She couldn’t let go of him.
In that moment, Yin Qin also wanted to hold him.
Looking at this little rug rat, who will one day grow up to be an adult, he felt a sense of wonder.
A warm feeling filled his heart.
Just looking at the baby’s wee head and adorable expression, it felt like the whole world had came alive with springtime warmth and bloom.
“Mom, let me hold him.”
“No.” Qin Keqin refused him outright.
Yin Qin pouted.
“What if you drop my grandson?”
“Do you think I’m that stupid?” Yin Qin was extremely displeased.
“If you weren’t stupid, my grandson wouldn’t have been born prematurely and had to stay in an incubator since his birth!”
“Mom, stop it, I didn’t want it either. Don’t keep mentioning it, okay? Are you not afraid that I’ll get depressed?”
“You could get depressed?!” Qin Keqin looked contemptuous. “I just want to stuff you back and remake you.”
Where did he fall short?
The hospital room was filled with bickering.
They completed the discharge formalities.
As everyone was preparing to leave, Qin Keqin suddenly reminded, “Should we feed Xiaolang before we leave, in case the baby gets hungry on the way?”
“Alright.” Luo Xiaolang nodded.
She then went to get the breast pump that was already packed away.
Qin Keqin immediately stopped her, “You don’t need to extract the milk, your son has already left the incubator. You can breastfeed directly.”
Luo Xiaolang was taken aback.
She had never breastfed before.
Qin Keqin noticed her hesitation and immediately said, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll teach you.”
Having said that.
Qin Keqin handed the baby over to Yin Qin.
Yin Qin was suddenly filled with excited anticipation.
Finally, he could hold his little rascal.
Wondering whether this little guy would like him or not.
He was just about to take the baby over with excitement.
But Qin Keqin suddenly changed her mind and handed the baby to a maid instead, “You hold him.”
“Mom!” Yin Qin was displeased.
Qin Keqin said, “I don’t trust you!”
Frankly speaking, Yin Qin felt as if his heart had been pierced by a thousand arrows.
There he was, just watching his pure and innocent son, who was neither crying nor making a fuss, just adorably lost in his surroundings.
After pulling the curtain, Qin Keqin helped Luo Xiaolang prepare for breastfeeding.
After about a few minutes of preparation, Qin Keqin instructed the maid to bring the baby in.
Things didn’t seem to be going smoothly, so Qin Keqin kept encouraging Luo Xiaolang.
Yin Qin simply sat there on the sofa.
Images of what might be happening behind the curtain suddenly popped in his mind…
Strangely enough.
His face actually blushed.
Damn it.
It must have been Ji Baijian’s affectionate gestures towards Song Zhizhi today that stirred him, leading to this indescribable… impulse.
Half an hour went by.
The baby was fed and contentedly asleep.
Qin Keqin held him in her arms as they exited the hospital.
They arrived at the underground garage.
Qin Keqin handed the baby over to a servant and instructed Yin Qin, “Make sure to drive at the slowest possible speed, remember who you have in the car at all times!”
“I got it! You’ve told me five hundred times. I would have been overwhelmed listening to you even if you weren’t!”
Qin Keqin watched apprehensively as Yin Qin sat in the driver’s seat, then had a servant sit in the passenger’s seat and another servant sit in the back seat with the baby. Luo Xiaolang also sat in the backseat.
Only after the car had gone quite a ways did Qin Keqin get into her own car. After checking the documents she brought and ensuring she hadn’t left anything behind, she drove off.
She waited for quite some time upon arriving at the civil affairs bureau.
Just as she was starting to feel like Yin Bin was going to desert her again, she saw him enter the city hall.
And right beside him was Lin Ximeng.
Lin Ximeng affectionately held onto Yin Bin’s arm as they walked in her direction together.
Since that unpleasant incident that night, Yin Bin hadn’t returned home.
He’d been staying with Lin Ximeng ever since.
She’d imagined him coming back at least once, but clearly, that was wishful thinking; Yin Bin had no intention of returning, so she had to call and propose divorce.
He readily agreed.
Without any hesitation, he agreed.
Although late, he was finally here.
She indifferently watched the couple before her.
Nonchalantly, she stepped forward, “Let’s go. I’ve got the number, the staff says we can go anytime, and there’s no need to wait in line.”
Yin Bin didn’t reply to Qin Keqin, but turned toward Lin Ximeng with gentleness, “You wait here for a bit.”
“Okay,” Lin Ximeng sweetly agreed.
Qin Keqin inadvertently observed their interaction.
Yin Bin let go of Lin Ximeng’s hand and entered the building with Qin Keqin.
They maintained a physical distance between them.
Finally.
Finally, it had come to this between Qin Keqin and Yin Bin.
With just a little more effort, she could legally become Mrs. Yin.
She was excited beyond measure.
At this moment, both Qin Keqin and Yin Bin sat in the room with no emotion on their faces.
Qin Keqin took out the prepared divorce papers and said to the clerk, “Could you lend me a pen?”
The clerk promptly handed her a pen.
Qin Keqin laid the divorce agreement in front of Yin Bin, “If there are no issues, sign it.”
Yin Bin’s face remained impassive.
All he did was look at Qin Keqin and her composed demeanor.
He said, “Don’t you want to ask me anything?”
Qin Keqin raised her eyebrows.
What was there to ask him.
She didn’t need his property.
She said, “No.”
“I haven’t come home in days, and you haven’t called me once.”
“Didn’t I call you to ask for a divorce?”
“Hm.” Yin Bin gave a cold chuckle.
He’d intentionally brought Lin Ximeng to see Qin Keqin today, really wanting to see even a glimpse of concern on her face. He watched her closely, but he observed nothing.
“Sign the paper, don’t waste the clerk’s time.”
“Are you that eager to divorce me?”
“Yes.”
“Qin Keqin, can’t you even show me a bit of respect?”
“Why should I show you respect?” Qin Keqin coldly laughed, “You were unfaithful while I was pregnant. Now, you’re shacking up with your first love and not coming home. Tell me, how should I treat you?”
The moment the words left her mouth, not only did Yin Bin look terrible.
The clerks looked upset as well.
Unable to hold back, she blurted out, “Scum!”
Yin Bin was already furious, and with insults from strangers, his rage seemed to be erupting.
“Enough! You can make a fuss with your Lin Ximeng on your own, after the divorce we have nothing to do with each other. As for you and your ex-lover, you can do whatever you please, you won’t be called a greedy man anymore!”
Yin Bin felt like he could literally die of anger, because of Qin Keqin.
Suddenly, he violently stood up from his chair.
Qin Keqin frowned at him.
“To hell with it, I won’t divorce!” Yin Bin declared, word by word.
Qin Keqin’s face turned extremely ugly.
“You want a divorce, and I refuse to give it to you. I am going to be the greedy man, damn it, I am going to be just that, just to drive you mad!” Yin Bin finished his rant and stormed out of the divorce registration office.
Qin Keqin watched him leave.
She had known it wouldn’t be so easy.
She also knew that once Yin Bin decided to be nasty, no one could compete.
The staff member tried to comfort Qin Keqin, “It’s okay, if he really doesn’t want to, you can get evidence of his adultery and apply for a court-mandated divorce. A man like him doesn’t deserve you, and you must forcefully fight for your rights. It would be best if you could get most of his wealth, don’t let the vixen benefit!”
Qin Keqin just smiled.
The staff member looked very serious, expressing indignation on her behalf.
The staff member added, “That’s why it’s not always a good thing for a man to be too handsome. In the future, don’t look for a man who is so attractive; most handsome men are deceitful!”
Qin Keqin nodded as if agreeing.
She didn’t know about other men.
But Yin Bin indeed was a handsome man and, a perfect example of a scumbag.
She politely thanked the staff member and left the office.
Outside the city hall.
A large number of reporters suddenly swarmed in.
Yin Bin and Lin Ximeng were surrounded.
Qin Keqin started walking in the other direction, without any intention of interacting with the reporters.
Yet, a sharp-eyed reporter spotted her.
The reporter loudly announced, “It’s Qin Keqin.”
Then at least half of the reporters blocked Qin Keqin’s path.
Qin Keqin hated being exposed in public, she knew for sure that this was going to be on the gossip news.
“Miss Qin, we heard that you and Mr. Yin are getting a divorce, is it because Mr. Yin cheated first, so you are broken-hearted and decided to break off relations?”
“Miss Qin, regarding Lin Ximeng seducing Mr. Yin and leading to the destruction of your family, what do you have to say?”
“Miss Qin…”
Qin Keqin didn’t want to respond to any of them.
Suddenly, Lin Ximeng spoke up with a pitiful tone, “Yin Bin and I are first loves, we have always had deep feelings, and we couldn’t forget each other over the years. Luckily, Miss Qin was generous enough to let us be, otherwise Yin Bin and I would have had so many regrets. I genuinely want to thank her.”
While saying that.
Lin Ximeng turned towards Qin Keqin with a thankful expression.
She looked sincere.
“Miss Qin, did you let go willingly, or did you have no alternative?”
“We heard that you snatched Mr. Yin from Lin Ximeng aggressively back in the day, why did you suddenly let go now?”
“Is it because Mr. Yin never liked you? Insiders said that although you two lived under the same roof, you never shared a bedroom.”
“Miss Qin, could you please answer.”
Lin Ximeng suddenly came over, and defended Qin Keqin to the reporters, “Stop asking her. I don’t care about the past grievances I faced. I don’t care about these things at all. Right now, I am so grateful to Miss Qin for being so generous!”
The words seemed to be defending Qin Keqin, but they tacitly affirmed the fact that Qin Keqin snatched Yin Bin from Lin Ximeng back in the day!
Qin Keqin didn’t want to say anything to Lin Ximeng, and in the matter with Yin Bin, she didn’t want to get involved too much because she found it troublesome.
But at this moment, she changed her mind.
Was Lin Ximeng smearing her reputation in front of the reporters because she was living a carefree life?!
She turned to Lin Ximeng and gave her a smile, “I guess I can’t accept your thanks.”
“Huh?” Lin Ximeng was a bit surprised.
For a moment, she was quite flustered!
Qin Keqin spoke in a calm and steady manner, “Yin Bin and I are not divorced.”
What?!
Lin Ximeng’s face instantly changed color.
They had stayed in there for so long, she thought they had successfully got the divorce.
She even asked Yin Bin when they came out, but he did not answer, so she thought he had accepted.
Her secret delight hardened in her heart at this moment.
Her entire being became visibly rigid.
Qin Keqin said, “I’m very sorry too, but it seems your first love prefers to ride two horses at the same time. Perhaps you should persuade him, or maybe exert your charm to make him cannot resist you. I’ve really tried my best.”
Having said that,
Qin Keqin very dominantly parted the reporters and walked away.
She exuded an air of nonchalance.
Lin Ximeng felt like she was about to explode with anger.
She turned her head to look at Yin Bin.
His gaze fixed on the retreating back of Qin Keqin.
To her surprise, having come this far, Yin Bin still hadn’t divorced Qin Keqin.
He simply couldn’t!
At this moment, Yin Bin withdrew his gaze.
Qin Keqin must truly not feel anything for him, or else she wouldn’t dare to mock him so blatantly in front of the reporters.
He grabbed Lin Ximeng’s hand and walked away.
The initially composed reporters exploded on the scene.
“Mr. Yin, does Miss Qin mean that you are involved with Lin Ximeng while you are unwilling to divorce Qin Keqin?”
“Mr. Yin, everyone thinks you’re honest, with no rumors ever leaked, who would have thought you’d be so disloyal in love?!”
“Mr Yin, don’t you think you’re doing a great injustice to Lin Ximeng? She’s been loyally waiting for you all these years, only to be given the status of a mistress…”
Yin Bin forcefully dragged Lin Ximeng back into the car.
The reporters continued their barrage of questions.
Yin Bin got in the car and drove off.
Lin Ximeng watched Yin Bin’s stern side profile, biting her lip and staying quiet.
In the quiet car.
The phone suddenly rang.
Yin Bin glanced at it and answered.
It was a call from Yin Ying, who asked, “Did the divorce go through?”
“No.”
“No?!” Yin Ying’s voice rose sharply.
Ever since he officially got together with Lin Ximeng, Yin Ying would actively come to see him, saying they were family after all. Whoever managed the Yin He companies, he should let bygones be bygones.
Yin Bin complied.
He complied with his sister’s arrangements.
“She was asking for too much!” Yin Bin replied, word for word.
“What?” Yin Ying frowned.
“She asked for thirty-five percent of the shares in Yin He. I didn’t agree.”
“Is that woman mad? What right does she have to demand shares from our Yin Family!”
“So, I just left the bureau of civil affairs immediately.”
“Hmm.” Yin Ying responded, “No matter what, not a single share can be conceded to her.”
“Okay.”
“Come over to my house first. I had a maid prepare a celebration feast for you and Lin Ximeng. Who knew Qin Keqin would turn out like this? Regardless, come back first, we’ll discuss the rest!” Saying so, she hung up.
Lin Ximeng heard their conversation.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Yin Bin, did Qin Keqin suddenly ask for shares?”
“Yes.” Yin Bin answered indifferently.
“She seems so cold and detached, as if she doesn’t want anything. Now she suddenly changes her tune!” Lin Ximeng mumbled. Her heart was filled with anger but she dared not reveal it outwardly.
She was really fooled by Qin Keqin!
This woman is disgusting! Appearing high and mighty, as if she wanted nothing to do with worldly affairs. Having no feelings for Yin Bin, but revealing her true ambitions at this critical moment.
“What will we do now?” Lin Ximeng asked him.
“Negotiate first, then divorce.”
“Can we come to an agreement?” Lin Ximeng asked uncertainly.
Yin Bin did not answer her.
Lin Ximeng didn’t dare to ask further, no matter how upset she was.
Yin Bin gripped the steering wheel tightly.
This was the only way he could figure it out to fend off Yin Ying, not divorcing Qin Keqin.
Even if it meant letting Qin Keqin, or even himself, lose their reputation.
Even if the situation is dire, he would never divorce Qin Keqin!
Never in his lifetime!
If he were to die, he would still have his son guard Qin Keqin. She isn’t allowed to remarry!
Qin Keqin returned to the villa.
Luo Xiaolang and Yin Qin had already returned to their rooms to rest.
It had been a long while since Yin Qin had returned home to sleep. As soon as he got into his own bed, he fell into a deep sleep.
Luo Xiaolang wasn’t accustomed to staying in the hospital either. After breastfeeding her son, she also lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang still slept separately, each in their own rooms.
By the time Qin Keqin returned, everyone was asleep. She didn’t disturb them and went straight to her room.
Originally she had planned to move out, however, since Yin Bin had not returned, and wouldn’t in the future, and seeing how Luo Xiaolang, Yin Qin, and their son lived there, she didn’t need to make a fuss and move out either.
She had woken up a bit early that day, and at this moment she was rather tired, but somehow she couldn’t fall asleep.
All that floated in her mind were the scenes from the divorce today.
She really couldn’t understand what Yin Bin was after?!
Wasn’t it good to stay with Lin Ximeng?
Now he went out of his way to let everyone know that he, Yin Bin, was a complete jerk!
Forget it.
She took off her clothes, put on her house clothes, lay in bed, and forced herself to sleep.
If Yin Bin didn’t want a divorce, she could take legal action.
It is said that after living separately for only three months, the court would consider declaring a divorce without much difficulty.
She didn’t want her divorce to cause a lot of drama.
Forcing herself to sleep, she finally drifted off.
When she woke up, it was already past 4 in the afternoon.
She was surprised that she could sleep for so long.
She got out of bed, left her room, and went straight to Luo Xiaolang’s room.
By this time, Luo Xiaolang had already gotten up and was not in her room.
She went downstairs.
In the downstairs hall, Luo Xiaolang was learning to hold their son with the help of the nanny.
Yin Qin was quietly not looking at his phone or watching TV, just watching Luo Xiaolang learning to hold the baby.
When Qin Keqin appeared, everyone’s eyes were on her.
“When did you get back? Weren’t you going to divorce my dad? I thought you two would at least have a goodbye dinner?” Yin Qin was straightforward.
Qin Keqin’s face was very ugly.
A skeleton in the closet.
“Did you really divorce my dad?” Yin Qin asked.
At this moment, Qin Keqin very comfortably went over and helped Luo Xiaolang hold the baby properly.
“No,” Qin Keqin answered lightly.
“Did my dad back out halfway?” Yin Qin looked delighted in others’ misfortunes.
Qin Keqin pursed her lips and didn’t speak.
“Knowing the old Yin man, he’d rather die than divorce you, just as I thought!” He looked very visionary.
Qin Keqin rolled her eyes.
She immediately changed the subject, “The baby still doesn’t have a name, let’s pick one.”
“That’s right. My son doesn’t even have a name!” Yin Qin seemed to have just realized this.
Qin Keqin was speechless.
Does this even count as being a father?
“What should we call him?” Yin Qin muttered, “I need to look it up in the dictionary to find a powerful, meaningful, and nice-sounding name.”
“Let’s think of a nickname first.” Qin Keqin didn’t have much hope for Yin Qin, “For the full name, we need to be cautious, but the nickname can be catchy.”
“Let’s call him Little Tiger.” Luo Xiaolang suddenly spoke up.
Both Qin Keqin and Yin Qin turned their heads to look at Luo Xiaolang.
“Tigers are very powerful, the king of the forest!” Luo Xiaolang said seriously.
No one agreed.
“Little Lion is okay too.”
Lions are also very powerful.
“Does it have to be an animal?” Qin Keqin said with some difficulty.
“Animals are stronger than humans,” Luo Xiaolang confidently states.
Alright then.
Qin Keqin somewhat compromises.
Yin Qin becomes irritated at the moment, “Just because animals are stronger, does it mean we should call them animals? My son isn’t an animal! Anyway, I disagree.”
God damn it.
Home is full of wolves, tigers, and lions.
Does he run a zoo or what?
Luo Xiaolang feels somewhat unhappy.
As Yin Qin is racking his brains, Qin Keqin suddenly slaps him in the head, “Stop thinking about it, you can’t think of any good names. Just follow what Xiaolang said, call him Little Tiger, it’s quite cute.”
Tacky!
Yin Qin is unhappy.
“Hmm.” Luo Xiaolang suddenly smiles.
It’s a very bright smile, irresistibly adorable, making people not want to refuse.
Yin Qin just stares at Luo Xiaolang.
For the first time, he feels that this woman is incredibly infectious when she smiles.
At that moment, he just keeps looking at her without even blinking.
Luo Xiaolang naturally doesn’t notice this.
She stealthily holds her son, saying, “From now on, you will be called Little Tiger, and I will train you to be as powerful as a tiger!”
Yin Bin was somewhat speechless.
He doesn’t even need to think about what kind of boy his son will become.
Just the thought that he might end up like Luo Xiaolang is enough to break his heart a little.
He’d always hoped his son could be refined and gentle, like…like Ji Baijian!
“Luo Xiaohu.” Luo Xiaolang suddenly calls her son’s name.
“Luo Xiaolang!” Yin Qin suddenly gets very excited.
Luo Xiaolang looks at him in surprise.
Yin Qin entirely blows up.
Luo Xiaolang doesn’t know why he’s suddenly acting like this.
Yin Qin clenches his teeth and says, “His last name is Yin!”
“Why?” She always thought her son should take her last name.
“Why? Damn it, I’m his father! A child should follow their father’s surname! While we’re at it let me tell you, in Yanshang Country we’ve always upheld patriarchal values, starting with the surname, a child must take his father’s name, this is just one of them. In a family, the man is the head, responsible for earning money and supporting the family. Women just need to take care of their husband and children, no need to bear any economic pressure.”
Luo Xiaolang just listens to him.
Surprisingly, Qin Keqin on the side does not interrupt him.
Just keep watching him spew nonsense!
Yin Qin then says, “So, you absolutely cannot hit me, okay? It’s an extremely wicked act, you should adore and care for me in all sorts of ways, like bringing me my slippers when I come home, preparing a bath for me, accompanying me while I watch TV, making tea for me, peeling fruits for me, etc., I’ll give you a list later, just follow it.”
“How can you say these things shamelessly?” Qin Keqin suddenly asks him.
With genuine curiosity on her face!
Yin Qin is somewhat intimidated, “Am I or am I not your biological child?”
“Xiaolang, let’s go. We shouldn’t stay with him. I’m afraid breathing the same air as him will make us stupid.”
“Mom!”
“I’m not your mom!” Qin Keqin bluntly replies.
He really isn’t their biological child.
His dad says he isn’t his father.
His mom says she’s not his mother!
Damn, he must be adopted.
At such an unpleasant time, Yin Qin’s phone suddenly rings.
He looks at the caller ID, not his father’s number, and answers, “Yes, Old Man Yin.”
“Come out, I’ll join you for a drink.”
What?!
He must have misheard.
Old Man Yin is inviting him to drink for the first time?!
