My Youth Began With Him-Webnovel

Huo Mian stared at Qin Chu’s face for three seconds before bursting into laughter. “Honey… stop trying to freak me out, okay? We can joke about anything else, but joking about divorce is bad luck, really… My mom said if couples keep joking about divorce, one day they’re really going to get divorced.”

“Mian, I’m not joking,” Qin Chu said as he got up and headed upstairs.

Huo Mian stood up immediately as well and quickly followed behind Qin Chu. She felt restless and hated what Qin Chu said, even if he was joking.

She wanted to see what her husband was up to, was he trying to surprise her with something?

– In their second-floor bedroom –

Huo Mian walked in with Qin Chu; before she could say anything, he took out a piece of paper and placed it on their bed. “Take a look, if there aren’t any problems, sign.”

Huo Mian didn’t pick the piece of paper up and quickly glanced at it. The top of the paper said, ‘Divorce Agreement’.

“Honey… stop joking around with me, I’ll stop watching cartoons, okay? You can’t punish me like this.”

“Mian, don’t you understand? I wasn’t joking… this isn’t a joke.”

“I don’t believe you.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Chu fell silent.

“Why? Why do you suddenly want a divorce? We’re doing great, aren’t we?”

Qin Chu didn’t respond.

“Are you afraid of getting me involved with your fight with Huo Siqian?”

“No.”

“Are you afraid that he’ll bankrupt our company and don’t want me to live a hard life with you?”

“No.”

“Are you afraid that you might break down if Dad’s operation fails and don’t want to drag me down with you?”

“No, that’s not it. I’ll try my best with Dad’s operation and I’m prepared for the best and worst possible outcomes. His operation has nothing to do with our divorce.”

“Then why do you want a divorce? There has to be a reason.”

Huo Mian looked innocently at Qin Chu… She didn’t know what she did wrong – why would he suddenly ask for divorce right before their wedding?

This was something she had never anticipated.

Once again, Qin Chu fell silent.

His silence infuriated Huo Mian. She picked up the divorce agreement on the bed and tore it into pieces. “If you don’t give me a reason, I won’t agree to a divorce.”

“Mian, don’t be like that…”

“Like what?” Huo Mian smiled bitterly.

“Don’t make my life hard… let’s end things on good terms.”

“Haha, make your life hard? End things on good terms? Qin Chu, you make things sound so simple. Back then, who was the one who flirted with me and promised to treat me to a lifetime of noodles? Who was the one who left for seven years and kissed me at our class reunion? Who was the one who forced me into marrying him? Are your promises all just crap? Why do I have to accept divorce just because you said you want to end things on good terms? Am I really that f*cking stupid? Why do I have to be ordered around by you and marry and divorce you all according to your rules? What do you think I am, hm?” Huo Mian stared at him and demanded angrily.

Qin Chu’s repeated mentioning of the word ‘divorce’ truly infuriated Huo Mian.

Qin Chu turned his head away from her, too scared to look into her eyes; he listened to every word she said, but he had no answers for her…

After three seconds of silence, Qin Chu said, “Tell me your demands for asset division, I’ll agree to everything.”

“Qin Chu, where’s your heart? Did you really think I married you for your money? Do you really think I’d be interested in your family’s money?”
