C19 Overexaggerated

As soon as she left, Qing Lee's straight back bent down. She used both hands to grab the handrail of the stairs to prevent herself from collapsing. God knows how much courage she used to fight Xia Xueyan just now. How could she bear to not reveal a trace of weakness because of the pain in her heart?

It was because she was too naive. She naively thought that the newspaper was exaggerating. She naively thought that Xi Yan treated Xia Xueyan like his female companions. She did not expect Xia Xueyan to be pregnant with Xi Yan's child.

The person she loved the most had the crystallization of love with another woman. This was a great irony to her. Compared to Xi Yan hurting her time and time again, it made her heart full of holes.

As she smiled and smiled, tears flowed out of her eyes, blurring her vision. She grabbed the handrail of the stairs with force. The joints of her hands were white, and her heart, which was full of wounds, gradually cooled down.

In the silence, there was only her silent crying. She let the tears drip onto the white marble, turning it into splashes.

Qing Lee did not remember how long she had sat on the sofa. Aunt Sun had already come over to urge her to rest a few times but she did not move and sent Aunt Sun to rest. She only looked at the clock on the wall in a daze.

Looking at the needle spinning in circles, she did not know how many times she had looked at it. She had also earned a few rounds of the clock. She had been waiting for Xi Yan since Xia Xueyan left. She wanted to hear Xi Yan's explanation with her own ears.

Even if his answer would make her heart ache, it was still better than keeping it in her heart.

When the hour hand pointed to 2, the sound of the door opening rang out. Qing Lee's dull eyes flashed with a touch of brilliance. She sat up straight and looked at the door.

Xi Yan opened the door and walked in. Seeing the light in the living room, his eyes flashed with surprise. After changing into slippers at the entrance, he strode into the living room.

Seeing Qing Lee sitting on the sofa and getting up, Xi Yan's body clearly stiffened. He took back his steps to go upstairs and walked towards Qing Lee.

This was the first time the two of them had met in more than a month. When Qing Lee saw the face that would appear even in her dreams, she suddenly became absent-minded. This man was her everything, and she was not important in this man's eyes.

She knew that he did not have her in his heart, but when she saw him a month later, the longing in her heart surged out. Only then did she know how much she wanted to see him. Her heart ached.

Xi Yan sat opposite Qing Lee, and his calm face did not have any waves. Even when he saw the sadness on Qing Lee's face, he only moved his lips and looked at her coldly.

"I read the newspaper." Qing Lee said.

"What?" Xi Yan did not seem to understand and could not help but ask.

A bitter smile appeared on Qing Lee's lips as she looked at Xi Yan. Her haggard little face became paler under the light and her eyes lost their former luster. "I read the newspaper and saw the news of you and Xia Xueyan these few days."

She closed her eyes and said while enduring the pain in her heart.

" Oh?" Xi Yan raised his brows, and the corners of his mouth carried a wisp of a ridiculing smile. "So what?" Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and laughed wickedly. "Qing Lee, don't tell me you are jealous."

Yes, I am jealous! Qing Lee wanted to say it loudly, but when she saw the sarcasm on Xi Yan's face, she felt sad and chose to keep it in the deepest part of her heart. "You two are really that one?"

Even though she had already passed human affairs, she was still as shy as a little girl who was not familiar with the world. When she asked this question, she could not help but blush.

The shy Qing Lee was like a flower in her mouth. A bud. Desire. The flowers that were planted were shyly waiting to be plucked. She wanted to be plucked and placed at home so that no one could peep at her. She could only see her beauty by herself.

Realizing what he was thinking, Xi Yan furrowed his brows in annoyance. He pushed all his strange feelings onto Qing Lee, which caused his attitude towards Qing Lee to become even worse. "What do you think a man and a woman would do if they were alone in a room? Of course he would do it. Love!"

Qing Lee's heart suddenly sank and she staggered a step back. She accidentally tripped on the sofa and suddenly sat on it. She did not expect Xi Yan to openly admit his relationship with Xia Xueyan. When she thought of that dazzling pregnancy diagnosis book, Qing Lee felt like she was drowning in water and could not find her direction. That oppressive feeling made her breathless. It made her swollen eyes gradually moist.

"Xi Yan, let's get a divorce!" Qing Lee said with a calm face. The hands hidden under the coffee table were tightly held together. She tried to calm herself down, but her trembling fists still revealed her feelings.

Xi Yan was surprised. His narrowed eyes were wide open. He looked at Qing Lee in disbelief. He thought that he had heard something wrong, so he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?"

Qing Lee pulled up a smile that was uglier than crying and nodded heavily. That weight was as heavy as a thousand kilograms. It made her frown. "I am sure. We will divorce!"

Divorce has always been what you want, right? Qing Lee revealed a bitter smile in her heart. Divorce was the best choice for the two of them.

Because of love, she chose to let go and help him.

Hearing Qing Lee repeat again, Xi Yan's handsome brows tightly knitted. His pair of long and narrow eyes stared fixedly at Qing Lee's face, trying to see other emotions from her face. Didn't she rack her brains to threaten him before marrying him? Why did she say divorce so easily now?

An inexplicable anger suddenly arose in Xi Yan's heart, but when he saw Qing Lee's calm appearance, that inexplicable anger instantly disappeared and was replaced by an indifferent alienation. "Alright, I will not give you less money. Tomorrow, we will go to the lawyer's building and sign the papers."

Xi Yan had already gone upstairs, but Qing Lee had been sitting downstairs without moving.

It turned out that the first time she heard Xi Yan say "we" was when the two of them were going to divorce. Qing Lee suddenly smiled. There was not a single tear in her eyes, but her ugly smile made people feel that she was even more sad than when she was crying.

That night, Qing Lee did not sleep for the entire night.

The next day, Qing Lee woke up early in the morning and used light makeup to cover her pale and haggard face. She went downstairs and Aunt Sun had already prepared breakfast.
