Chapter 1452: Great to Have You (12)

Mu Qixing stayed silent and stared at her mobile phone. Noticing that she had received a few text messages, she decided to open them.

They were all sent by Lu Jingrao.

Although she felt that Xia Banqin would definitely use her child as a tool to marry Luo Hang, she could not be entirely certain. After all, what if Xia Banqin was infertile?

Hence, she did not tell Lu Jingrao to wait for her.

She had no idea when she would get a divorce anyway.

Was Lu Jingrao supposed to wait for her for years?

He did not mention much in his text message, apart from some caring words and reminders for her to keep herself warm by wearing more clothes, especially since it was wintertime. He also told her to soak her feet in warm water daily because her hands and feet tend to get chilly.

She would reply to all his text messages. However, it had been months since they last met because Mu Qixing thought that it would be inappropriate to meet him frequently before her divorce was finalized. Hence, she resigned from her job and stayed home all day.

Lu Jingrao did not force her to meet him either. Instead, he would frequently send her text messages and call her.

Mu Qixing knew that Lu Jingrao was making compromises for her.

In the past, he wouldn’t even bother to contact her.

He would have long forgotten about her since she was married.

However, things were different now.

She replied, “I know, you too.”

Less than a minute later, he replied.

“I’ll always be waiting for you here. Qixing, I miss you.”

Mu Qixing teared up instantly.

She looked down and smiled at her screen.

After a long pause, she snapped back to reality and looked up to discover that Luo Hang was staring at her condescendingly. Peeved by his actions, she said, “What are you looking at? Keep looking and I’ll gouge your eyes out.”

He chuckled sarcastically and retorted, “How would you know that I was staring at you if you weren’t looking at me too? You were clearly the one who looked at me first.”

She said, “Forget it, I’m going out to take a breather. You two enjoy each other’s company at home.”

“Go ahead.”

Mu Qixing hurriedly rushed out of the house, not wanting to see them at all. She could barely stand the sight of the two of them.

As soon as she arrived downstairs, Mrs. Luo asked, “Qixing, where are you going?”

“Mother, I’m going out to take a breather.”

“Don’t. I’ve hired a hypnotist and instructed the servants to purchase a lie detector. Stay behind and watch the show later.”

Speechless, she had no choice but to concede.

Half an hour later, the servant returned with the lie detector, after which Mrs. Luo called the two of them to come downstairs. She then sat beside Mr. Luo and watched Xia Banqin go through the lie detector test.

Mu Qixing was seated further away. She leaned back against the couch nonchalantly, not too interested in the results of the test.

In the end, the lie detector proved that Xia Banqin was truly in love with Luo Hang.

The outcome of the hypnosis proved the same too.

Mrs. Luo was rather displeased with the results, for she wished that the tests would prove that Xia Banqin was untrue to her son.

She was utterly dismayed.

Luo Hang was over the moon. After all, nothing was more joyous than finding out that his girlfriend was true to him.

After the hypnotist left, he said with a grin, “Mother, you’re convinced now, huh?”

Mrs. Luo smiled sarcastically and barked, “So what? I’ll allow her to give birth to the child, but Qixing will be the mother. Over my dead body will I let her marry you!”

Mu Qixing sat up straight and said, “Mother, I’d like to have a few words with you.”

Mrs. Luo stood up and returned to her own room together with Mu Qixing.

She closed the door and said softly, “Mother, I know why you’ve been refusing to accept Xia Banqin. Men are all the same. The more you refuse to give in to him, the more insistent he’ll get. The child still belongs to her at the end of the day. Why don’t you make Xia Banqin and Luo Hang sign an agreement? This matter can be solved perfectly.”

“What agreement?”

“Make Xia Banqin sign an agreement and allow her to marry Luo Hang on the condition that she fulfills all the terms. If she and Luo Hang were to be unfilial to you and Father, they’d automatically be denied the rights to possess the assets that they’re entitled to. This will definitely work. Mother, I’m being serious. I can tell that Luo Hang genuinely adores her. She’s even four months pregnant now. Frankly speaking, I’d feel rather uneasy to have to take care of their child. I want to have my own happiness too. Mother, I know your bark is worse than your bite when it comes to Luo Hang. You’re sparing a thought for him and you have his best interests at heart, but he doesn’t understand your concerns. Mother, I don’t wish to continue being in such a marriage either. Please allow us to get a divorce.”

“Qixing, I know you’re put in a spot too. Will you allow me some time to consider carefully?”

“Sure. I believe you’ll figure it out, Mother. I’m going out now, then.”

She exited the room. Upon the sight of her, Luo Hang immediately asked, “What did you say to my mother?”

“What were you hoping for me to say?”

“I hope you didn’t tell her any redundant things.”

She smirked and said, “Seems like you’re really suspecting that I had added fuel to the fire. I’m not interested in doing that at all. If you’d like to find out, go ask your mother.”

Thinking that he must have gotten the wrong idea about her, Luo Hang said, “I was just asking a casual question.”

Mu Qixing did not answer him and headed upstairs instead.

She packed all her belongings, including her dowry and other personal items. Luo Hang entered the room, only to receive a great shock after seeing that she had already packed her bags.

“Father and Mother want you to go downstairs.”

“Alright, I’ll be on my way.”

Mu Qixing placed her things down. Just as she was about to exit, Luo Hang grabbed her arm.

“What do you want?” she asked with a frown.

“Why are you more eager than I am to get a divorce?”

Mu Qixing sneered, “Am I? Aren’t you more eager than I am? You were so eager that you got your girlfriend pregnant. Why are you accusing me instead? I’m just letting you two be together. Isn’t this what you’ve been looking forward to? We didn’t just get married yesterday. We’ve already been married for so long. I’m actually really sick of living like this and I’d rather be alone. Grandma is gone anyway. It’s a good idea for us to get a divorce.”

She shirked his hand off and left the room.

Luo Hang chased after her.

Xia Banqin and Mr. and Mrs. Luo were already seated in the living room, seemingly having already come to a consensus.

“Qixing, after some discussion, your father and I have agreed to let you divorce Luo Hang.”

Mu Qixing beamed with joy upon hearing her words, and her heart began pounding rapidly as well.

“Luo Hang, let’s get a divorce now, then. The Civil Administration Bureau is still open. It’s only half past three now.”

She was thrilled to be finally regaining her freedom.
