"You said you wanted to eat fruit, so I went to buy you some. You said you wanted me to peel it, so I got you a peeler and cut it into appropriately sized pieces. I finally prepared a plate of fruit, and you're telling me you don't want to eat it? All my hard work, what do you think this is?"

Jiang Qianhui's eyelashes trembled, her watery eyes shimmered, filled with a sense of brokenness.

Zhan Yanxun didn't know what came over him, but seeing her pitiful appearance, he directly stuffed the oxidized fruit into his mouth.

"You can shut up now!"

Jiang Qianhui nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's more like it. You asked for fruit, and someone went to the trouble of buying it for you, and you still complain."

Zhan Yanxun declared that he would never let Jiang Qianhui buy fruit again in his life.

When it was time to eat, Jiang Qianhui was playing on her phone, seemingly unmoved by anything.

I never realized she loved playing on her phone so much. Now that I'm with him, it's so boring, she has to keep playing on her phone.

Zhan Yanxun, slightly annoyed, said while handling official business, "It's lunchtime, are you still planning to keep playing on your phone?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhan, I'll go prepare it for you right now."

Jiang Qianhui smiled brightly, showing some of her former gentleness and obedience.

It's because I just gave him oxidized fruit. Do you feel guilty?

Zhan Yanxun felt that the oxidized apple he had just eaten finally had some value.

When Jiang Qianhui opened the lunchbox in front of him, Zhan Yanxun was instantly dumbfounded.

"What are these?"

"Steamed fish, eggplant with minced meat, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes—I bought these from the cafeteria."

How could Zhan Yanxun, a CEO, possibly eat the food in the hospital cafeteria? And what's with all that scallion on top?

"You're just giving me this to eat?"

"The cafeteria food is a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, and it's very nutritious. I've also specially prepared the presentation and sprinkled it with pretty chopped green onions. It's a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate. Doesn't it make you feel more hungry?"

"You know perfectly well that I don't eat scallions, you're doing this on purpose."

"Oh, right, you don't eat scallions? Sorry, I forgot."

"forget?"

Zhan Yanxun was furious, but Jiang Qianhui calmly said, "Is that so strange? You're not a contact lens, and I can't keep you in my sight and remember you every moment. Isn't it normal to forget sometimes? How can you say I did it on purpose?"

Zhan Yanxun was speechless and angry, so he didn't eat anything.

Throughout the day, Jiang Qianhui dawdled over everything she bought, whether it was fruit or food, driving him crazy. She also struggled with work, taking forever to finish anything, clearly just slacking off.

Zhan Yanxun said angrily, "Process the discharge procedures!"

Jiang Qianhui said in surprise, "President Zhan, didn't you have a headache? The test results haven't come out yet, why are you being discharged from the hospital?"

Zhan Yanxun left without giving Jiang Qianhui a chance to speak.

Jiang Qianhui said to his retreating figure, "What a fickle man."

Zhan Yanxun: "..."

Fickle? Who is truly fickle?

She was such a good woman to him, but now she suddenly finds herself trying to upset him with everything.

Jiang Qianhui watched Zhan Yanxun leave angrily. She clapped her hands, thinking that if she had known it would be so easy to make him leave, she should have used this method yesterday and served him for nothing.

Jiang family

Yang Huirong asked with concern, "Yanxun, how is he?"

Jiang Qianhui said dismissively, "It's nothing, I was discharged yesterday."

"He was discharged yesterday, that's great. I thought I'd be staying in the hospital for a while. But what exactly happened between you? His head, because you injured it."

"I'm the one who injured him, but he deserved it."

Yang Huirong seemed quite surprised to receive Jiang Qianhui's affirmative answer, even though she had been mentally prepared!

"You really hit him! Why did you hit him? You used to treat him like that..."

"Mom, you're talking about the past. I used to think he was great, and I liked him a lot, but now I don't like him anymore."

Yang Huirong felt extremely bitter about Jiang Qianhui's answer. Her feelings for him were so intense, how could they suddenly fade? Perhaps it was because of her inability to have children that she always felt inferior and wanted to give up, feeling that she couldn't hold onto him.

Yang Huirong said with concern, "I've booked an appointment with an infertility specialist for you. I'll take you to see him."

"Mom, I don't need to see it."

"Why don't you need to see a doctor? You haven't gotten pregnant in two years. Xie Qingyi and Madam Yang are so angry they want to eat you alive. If you don't find a way to cure yourself, I'm afraid she will bully you more and more."

"Mom, don't worry, I won't be bullied by her anymore."

"Daughter, there are some rumors circulating now. You must tell me the truth, okay?"

"What did you hear?"

"I heard that the Zhan family has hired a surrogate mother. Is that true?"

"How do you know this?"

"Tell me if this is true."

"The Zhan family is bullying people. Two years is a long time, but it's also a short time. How could they be so impatient? If you can't have children, they find someone to be a surrogate. It's just too much."

Yang Huirong knew about this incident, and it must have caused her daughter a great deal of distress.

"Xie Qingyi must have humiliated you, and Yan Lan is bullying you just because she gave birth to a son. What is she anyway? She's just a third-rate celebrity who married the eldest son of the Zhan family. So what if she gave birth to a son? What's so great about that?"

She said that, but deep down she couldn't get over it; not having a son was a source of pain for her.

"Mom, don't be angry. I will definitely handle everything. Don't worry about me."

"How could I not worry about you? You are my only daughter. I thought that you would have a smooth life after marrying the person you love, but I never expected so many terrible things to happen. If I had known this would happen, I should have found you a son-in-law in the first place. At least I could still see him, and at least our family business would have someone to inherit it and wouldn't fall into the hands of that ungrateful wretch."

The ingrate Yang Huirong referred to was Jiang Che.

Her mother had mentioned to her more than once that she hoped she would find a son-in-law, but she had fallen in love with Zhan Yanxun and only wanted to marry him.

Later, when her mother saw that Zhan Yanxun came from a wealthy family, she agreed.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I know you've always wanted me to find a son-in-law and hoped that my child would inherit the Jiang family business. It's my fault. I only cared about my own love and ignored your feelings. I was blinded by love back then and only wanted to be with Zhan Yanxun."

"It's my fault for being too selfish. Because I can't have children myself, I asked you to find a son-in-law. It's my fault. I'm happy to see you marry Zhan Yanxun as you wished, but his family is too weird. I can't bear to see you suffer."

"In that case, Mom, how about you let me get a divorce?"
