A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Yi Duoer tried hard to suppress her sadness and grievance. It felt like the tide constantly hitting the dam, which could burst at any time.

She took a deep breath, her tone cold and firm, as if every word was squeezed out from between her teeth:

"I told you before that as long as you deal with the harem, I will immediately agree to marry you after I get the divorce letter. You refused.

So I advise you not to be so stubborn and do something you'll regret for the rest of your life. You know full well that I've been married before, and that past marriage has left a deep mark on my heart. I could never fall in love with anyone else, let alone you." Her voice trembled slightly, like a candle in the wind. Although she tried to remain calm, she still revealed a hint of vulnerability that was hard to conceal.

When Xie Xingchen heard this, he seemed to have lost his soul. His expression became dazed and his eyes were full of loss and regret.

But he quickly recovered, trying to mask his inner panic with a calm exterior. He raised his voice and said, "Heh...you've been missing for such a long time. Has Chu Junye ever even tried to look for you? He doesn't care about you at all. He's been having affairs outside, and he's been far more gentle and doting on other women than he is on you. Why can't you accept me? What exactly am I inferior to him in? In terms of status, I'm the crown prince, but in terms of my sincerity towards you, how am I any less than him?"

As he spoke, he strode forward, holding Yi Duoer's shoulders tightly with both hands, as if to convey his unwillingness and desire to her.

Yi Duoer, however, seemed to have her reverse scale touched. She instantly exploded, forcefully shook off Xie Xingchen's hand, and roared angrily:

"It's none of your business as an outsider to comment on what's going on between us! I've already told you that whatever you do out there is your business, don't get me involved!" This roar was like thunder, exploding in the air and leaving everyone present stunned.

Chu Jingchen's suppressed anger now ignited like a powder keg, instantly blazing. His face remained stern, as if covered by a layer of frost, but his eyes became deep and dark, like a bottomless black hole, hiding endless anger and jealousy.

Yi Duoer's words "It's a matter between us as husband and wife" were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart and completely enraging him.

Yayu was also shocked by this sudden change. She stood up suddenly, with a face full of anger and unwillingness, and walked quickly to Yi Duoer. She reached out and tightly grasped Yi Duoer's wrist, her fingers slightly white from the force, and kept asking:

"Since you are already a married woman, why do you still seduce men? Are you so shameless?" Her voice was sharp and piercing.

Perhaps Xie Xingchen's self-esteem was deeply hurt by Yi Duoer's decisive words. He turned around and pushed Yayu away violently. The force was so great that Yayu staggered and almost fell.

Then, he raised his hand high and slapped Yayu hard in the face with a "slap". This sudden slap made everyone gasp in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Yi Duoer wanted to stop it, but it was too late. She could only watch it all happen and couldn't help but gasp.

She was already prone to tears, and by this time her eyes were red and tears welled up in them like a flood about to burst its banks. Yayu covered her swollen face with her hands, pursing her lips, her eyes filled with resentment and astonishment.

A deep hatred gradually gathered in Yayu's eyes, and she said coldly:

"You're really capable. Xie Xingchen, I agree to the divorce. From now on, my love for you will completely disappear, and I won't waste any more feelings on you.

"She finished speaking softly, a cold smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, and then she turned and slowly left. Her steps were heavy and slow, and every step seemed to step on the tip of everyone's heart. Her back looked like a puppet that had lost its soul, lifeless and energyless.

Yi Duoer looked at her departing back, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if an invisible big hand was kneading her heart fiercely.

In an instant, her face turned pale as paper, without any blood, and her internal organs felt like they were burning in flames, causing her unbearable pain.

But she still endured it, with a look of despair on her face, and said woodenly:

"Xie Xingchen, for a woman who doesn't love you at all, you hurt another woman who loves you deeply. I feel so sorry for you." After she finished speaking, a crystal tear slid across her fair cheek and slowly fell down her face, but there was still no expression on her face, as if her body had been stripped of emotions.

Xie Xingchen, meanwhile, was completely focused on Yi Duoer, unconcerned by Yayu's departure. He simply stood there quietly, his eyes filled with sadness and pain, as if Yi Duoer were the only one left in the world. He slowly closed his eyes, trying to hold back the tears, but they still slipped from the corners of his eyes, wetting his cheeks.

Chu Jingchen's eyes were filled with heartache and pity as he stared at Yi Duoer. Seeing her so heartbroken and crying, his heart, which had been as hard as iron, gradually softened. In his eyes, every tear of Yi Duoer was like a precious pearl, piercing his heart.
