It turns out that saying the word "divorce" is not as painful as imagined.

Xie An Ning even felt his whole body lighten. The invisible and intangible stone that had been pressing on his chest suddenly disappeared as he uttered these two words.

In an instant, even breathing became much easier.

But the dull pain did not disappear, it moved away.

Wang Shaofu, who was originally a bit dazed, suddenly changed his expression when he heard those two words coming out of her mouth. He said angrily, "Xie Anning! If you are angry, you can just vent it on me. Can you just say divorce so casually?"

He wanted to say something else, but when he raised his eyes, he finally saw that the woman opposite him was calm and did not seem to be speaking in anger. The anger that had rushed to the top of his head suddenly disappeared without a trace, and then a chill ran down his spine and seeped into his limbs.

Wang Shaofu was so cold that he almost shivered. He rubbed his face with his hands, forced himself to calm down, and managed a smile. When he spoke again, his tone was much softer.

"I know what I did today was wrong, but I was drunk. I came back from drinking outside..."

"...and I'm also mad that you've never been nice to me for so long, so I just let out a tantrum."

He said, "Even so, I have no intention of touching other women. I asked her to put on her clothes before you came in."

"An Ning, please believe me this time. Really, even if you hadn't come, I would never touch her today."

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have let her undress in front of me and let you witness such an embarrassing scene. I didn't hug her because I was worried..."

Wang Shaofu chattered on and on, patiently and meticulously explaining why he held Li in his arms and why he shielded her body.

He talked for a long time, and Xie Anning listened quietly without interrupting.

Since she had decided to make things clear, she had to let the other person finish what he wanted to say.

After a long while, the man's voice finally stopped. Xie Anning waited a moment before confirming with him, "Are you done?"

Wang Shaofu was extremely nervous. She didn't know that since their youth, whenever she looked serious, he would start to feel nervous, fearing that he had made her unhappy.

But over the years of marriage, the two of them lived in harmony, and even if they quarreled occasionally, it was always sweet and lasting. Day after day, he had long forgotten the feeling of worry and fear when he had not yet married his beloved girl.

At this moment, the familiar dull pain and tension made Wang Shaofu hesitate for a long time. After making sure that there were no mistakes or omissions, he nodded stiffly.

Xie An Ning was surprised to find that he actually saw the boy he used to be in this man who was over thirty years old.

"An Ning," Wang Shaofu said with difficulty, "We have been married for sixteen years. It has not been easy to get to where we are today. Please don't say anything angry, and don't mention divorce again."

"It's been sixteen years, huh?" Xie An Ning brushed off the thoughts in her mind, looked at him, and said, "Then, considering our sixteen years of marriage, tell me, what were you thinking when you told Wang Er to bring the person here?"

After these words were spoken, Wang Shaofu remained silent for a long time.

"Why don't you admit it?" Xie Anning smiled faintly and answered for him: "You never make impulsive decisions. Even when you are drunk, you are clear-headed and calm. Since you ordered Wang Er to bring people here, you have no intention of keeping your virginity."

Perhaps because he found the phrase "chaste as a virgin" too funny, Xie An Ning's smile grew even wider. "Li isn't your first concubine, so why did you go to such great lengths to lie to me? If I expose you, who will be embarrassed?"

"Stop talking!" Wang Shaofu closed his eyes. "I admit that when I ordered Wang Er, I did have other thoughts in mind, but even after she undressed in front of me, I still didn't intend to put it into action... If you blame me for this, I have nothing to say, but this is the first time I've summoned a woman from Jingshuyuan. I've never had this experience before..."

"Enough! Is it fun to deceive yourself?" Xie An Ning couldn't bear to listen any longer. "You could just admit it directly, just like when you decided to take a concubine. That way I can respect you for being frank."

"..." Wang Shaofu stared at her in a daze, "...You don't believe it?"

Xie Anning couldn't help laughing as if she had heard a joke, "Do you think I should believe it?"

He has more than one concubine in his backyard, and all of them have been in the mansion for more than half a year.

Would a man who is determined to have a son and is willing to break his promise to his wife refrain from taking action for half a year?

What a coincidence, the first time I was drunk, I called someone over, and her clothes were almost taken off, and she just happened to see me?

Just this one time, she happened to see it!

"It's true that you, Young Master Wang, are extremely smart, but please don't treat others as fools, okay?" Xie An Ning was almost helpless. The man opposite was about to say something, but she interrupted him first.

"You don't need to say more,"

She said calmly, "Don't you understand? From the moment you allowed another woman to come between us, whether you touched her or not, how many times you touched her, or where you touched her, it no longer matters to me. In short, they are all your legitimate concubines. You can call me Master and me Mistress. I, too, will only treat them as your women."

Whether what he said was true or not is really not important.

Because he has already thought about it.

He was determined to take a concubine and have children with other women.

Just for this reason, Xie An Ning couldn't help but mind.

"Let's get a divorce," she looked at the man opposite her with a grim expression. "I'm calm now, and I've considered what kind of twists and turns my life will encounter after the divorce."

She smiled and said, "To be honest, I've thought about divorce countless times. Indeed, there are many factors that make me hesitate and unable to make up my mind, but now, I have really made up my mind."

"Shut up!"

Those two words made Wang Shaofu's temples throb.
