An Nuan was rendered speechless by Xia Qiqi's words in this moment.
This woman wasn't always unreasonable and quarrelsome. When she really encountered something, her logic was actually very clear.
"An Nuan, Xiao Nanchen never thought about having a good life with me. Do you think I still want to have a good life with him?! I never liked him in the first place, and being with him was already suffocating. Now that he doesn't want to be with me anymore, should I still cling to him like a fool? Am I that pathetic?"
"I think there must be something that happened to Xiao Nanchen for him to act this way," An Nuan affirmed.
Otherwise, a miscarriage wouldn't have made Xiao Nanchen resolutely break up with Xia Qiqi.
If he really wanted to break up, Xiao Nanchen wouldn't have forced Xia Qiqi into marriage like this.
"What kind of thing could have happened that made him change his mind?! Maybe he just thinks that someone like me isn't worth being loved," Xia Qiqi said sarcastically.
"Did your car accident have anything to do with Nie Ziming's car accident?" An Nuan raised an eyebrow.
"I already said it has nothing to do with Nie Ziming."
"Could it be that you frequently cared about Nie Ziming and worried about him, and Xiao Nanchen found out?" An Nuan continued to speculate.
Because otherwise, it's really hard to understand why Xiao Nanchen would suddenly let go.
"I don't know, I didn't pay attention. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether he knows or not. My liking for Nie Ziming is something that the whole country knows, and Xiao Nanchen definitely can't be unaware," Xia Qiqi said matter-of-factly.
"Qiqi, do you truly think you like Nie Ziming?"
"I really do like him. Nuan Nuan, if I liked Xiao Nanchen, I would have liked him a long time ago. Why would I wait until Nie Ziming appeared?!" Xia Qiqi asked An Nuan. "I genuinely don't like Xiao Nanchen. I truly like Nie Ziming."
An Nuan didn't know what to say anymore.
Xia Qiqi's words were so resolute that she had no idea how to persuade her.
Instead, she was convinced by Xia Qiqi.
It seemed like divorce was the only way for Xia Qiqi and Xiao Nanchen.
"That night, you called me to take care of Xiao Nanchen. Do you remember?" Xia Qiqi asked.
"Yes. Did something happen between you two...?"
"I took care of him the whole night, but as soon as he regained consciousness, he started acting like a stranger," Xia Qiqi recalled, still seething with anger.
How could Xiao Nanchen be so despicable!
"Did something happen?"
"Nothing happened. It's just Xiao Nanchen's mental illness," Xia Qiqi expressed visible anger. She had already planned to divorce him, and after that night, she became even more determined. After she finished her postpartum recovery, her first action would be to divorce Xiao Nanchen. From then on, their paths would diverge and they would be irreconcilable.
"Are you very angry?"
"I'm about to explode!"
"Then have you considered why you are so angry and why you would be driven to this extent by Xiao Nanchen's bad attitude? If it were just some insignificant person who insulted you and made you angry for a while, it would be just that momentary matter. But if it were someone important who said something that hurt you, that's when you would remember it for a lifetime."
"I won't." Xia Qiqi said bluntly, "I just think Xiao Nanchen is a terrible person, that's why I'm angry. It has nothing to do with whether it's important or not."
"Qiqi, marriage is not a joke. You've been working on your relationship for so long, finally developing some marital affection, and now you're talking about divorce just like that. Aren't you afraid of regret?"
"If I regret after the divorce, then I'm a dog!" Xia Qiqi said firmly.
It seemed like this matter was irreversible.
An Nuan was really frustrated.
She usually listened to Xia Qiqi, but on this matter, she was stubborn to the point where An Nuan had no solution.
"Alright, don't try to persuade me anymore. Matters of the heart, one knows best. Only I know how well I'm living. You can't understand."
"Qiqi..."
"If you say it again, I'll cut off ties with you."
"Just one sentence," An Nuan promised.
Xia Qiqi thought for a moment. "Just one sentence."
"Don't be impulsive and divorce right away. Give you and Xiao Nanchen some time, and then divorce in a while."
"How long?" Xia Qiqi asked.
"Three months later."
"That's impossible." Xia Qiqi directly refused, "At most, one month."
"Why?"
"I don't want to make Nie Ziming wait too long."
"Qiqi, you still have a marriage now. Shouldn't you be thinking about a third person at this time?"
"That's why I want to divorce early! So that I can naturally think about other people."
"You're beyond help," An Nuan was close to being driven crazy by Xia Qiqi.
"Yeah, my love for Nie Ziming is beyond help."
"What if I say that Nie Ziming is not a good person?!" An Nuan finally couldn't hold it back and shouted.
Xiao Nanchen had more concerns.
He said he could protect Xia Zhenghai and Xia Qiqi's lives in his own way.
Consider it as compensation for the grievances Xia Qiqi suffered from marrying him.
But she didn't want to be concerned about that anymore.
"If Nie Ziming is not a good person, then there are no good people in this world!" Xia Qiqi said through gritted teeth.
"What if he really isn't?"
"Then I'll jump from the top of my building. No. My home doesn't have such a high floor, so I'll jump from the rooftop of the Xia Hui Bank." Xia Qiqi enunciated each word.
An Nuan felt a pang in her heart.
It was because the Xia Qiqi from the previous life really did jump from there.
She quickly reached out and covered Xia Qiqi's mouth. "Don't say such things."
"Even if I say it, it doesn't matter." Xia Qiqi had absolute trust in Nie Ziming. "Nie Ziming is not a bad person at all, so I don't have to jump off a building."
"No matter what, you can't say it." An Nuan said seriously.
Xia Qiqi didn't take it too seriously.
And because of Xia Qiqi's words, An Nuan didn't dare to say anything further.
She said, "You think it through. Consider your marriage with Xiao Nanchen carefully. If you have even the slightest bit of affection for him, I advise you not to divorce. This shows that your feelings for Nie Ziming are not deep at all. Otherwise, you wouldn't have developed feelings for someone else. Flies don't perch on seamless eggs."
"I just said one sentence, but you said a whole bunch," Xia Qiqi really didn't want to listen anymore.
She also didn't want any room for maneuvering.
She firmly believed that she only had feelings for Nie Ziming.
As for Xiao Nanchen... at most, she could be compassionate.
After all, Xiao Nanchen had indeed been good to her.
Except for the incident of the miscarriage.
"Since you don't want to listen anymore, I'll go back then," An Nuan glanced at the time and spoke frankly.
"Do you have to be so practical?!" Xia Qiqi stared at An Nuan as she got up from her chair, clearly displeased.
"I'm not like you, free all day. I still have to go to work tomorrow."
Xia Qiqi wrinkled her nose.
"After you finish your postpartum confinement, you should go to work for me too," An Nuan reminded.
Xia Qiqi felt a little unhappy.
She still longed to return to the days when everything was provided for her, with clothes and food readily available.
