"Just because of Ruhui...because of me, you are going to divorce her? Ruhui hasn't done anything wrong for so many years, Bai Ye, do you know what divorce means to a woman? She will never be able to raise her head in front of people for the rest of her life, you are trying to ruin such an innocent woman as her!"

"But Ruhui hasn't done anything good for so many years." Compared to Xiao Ran's excited appearance, the person involved, Bai Ye, seemed very indifferent. "Even if you don't have children, I have been married to her for many years. She has lived in Jiankang for a long time and has never served her mother-in-law, let alone did anything for my Bai family. Ruhui and I have no relationship at all. It's just my mother's last wish. Divorce is indeed because of you, but if Ruhui and I had a deep relationship or if she could let my mother say a good word for her, maybe I wouldn't insist on it. So Xiao Ran, you really don't have to Take too much blame on yourself."

Bai Ye didn't feel the need to tell Xiao Ran all the facts, for example... He Ruhui always wanted to go to Xuantianmen in the first place, including Master He, and Bai Ye mentioned this matter many times. All rejected.In the beginning, Lu Shi often told Bai Ye that when he married a daughter-in-law, he would bring her back to Xuantianmen, and there would be many people to talk to with him.Bai Ye refused, he always felt that He Ruhui was not the one he wanted to take back.

Therefore, the relationship between Lu Shihui and He Ruhui was so weak. This time Bai Ye proposed to divorce his wife and did little to persuade him. A large part of the reason was because of Bai Ye's intention.

Although Xiao Ran let Bai Ye comfort him so much, he still felt uncomfortable.Even if there is no emotion, at least he still respects each other as a guest, at least He Ruhui will not be dismissed, and will not be pointed at and gossiped in the future.In this era, a woman who has been divorced will be looked down upon for her entire life. Therefore, unless it is really impossible to live on, such things as divorce will not be mentioned lightly.

And once they are divorced, even if they are as noble as the emperor's relatives, they will not be able to hold up their dignity in the future. Most of them will directly become a monk after receiving the divorce letter, or they will never leave the house after being taken back to their mother's house.Even if there are so few remarried, they will not have any serious status.

When the Supreme Emperor was in power, there was a princess who was most favored by the current Supreme Emperor, but it was a pity that she was too jealous and killed the son-in-law's childhood sweetheart.The son-in-law was also a tough tempered man, he was serious, he disobeyed the emperor's order and wanted to divorce his wife, the princess threw herself into the lake on the night she received the paper of divorce, the serving lady said that the princess couldn't afford to lose face like this.

Although He Ruhui was not as proud as that princess, she was always favored by Master He.Mr. He has one son and two daughters. He Qionghua was born in a concubine's room and has not received much attention. The only son has been "traveling in the rivers and lakes" for many years, so it can't be said how deep his relationship is. Only He Ruhui, Mr. He really likes it. Now He Ruhui's pampered temper is all her father's habit, so if she is divorced, can she accept it?Master He can accept it?

Seeing Xiao Ran still frowning, Bai Ye sighed helplessly. "You still think it's unacceptable?"

"This kind of thing, when I think of He Ruhui, it's because of me... Bai Ye, you want me to feel guilty about her for the rest of my life."

"...Xiao Ran, you are a selfish coward!" Bai Ye suddenly shouted in a low voice, with one hand he forcibly turned Xiao Ran's face to face him. "You always feel that you are thinking about others, you always think that you don't want to hurt others because of your relationship, but you are just making an excuse for your fear!"

"You said, you think you will feel guilty about He Ruhui for the rest of your life, so what about you for me? I love you, and you love me too, so you think it's fair for you and me to be sneaky for the rest of your life? Where do you put me? You Timid, you dare not take the initiative to move forward, I follow your mind, I will not force you, if you refuse to go, I will pull you away, nothing... But, the relationship between me and you, I said, I Don't be like a thief forever! I don't want to hear others say that I have a brother-in-law relationship with you, and I don't want to hear any good brothers, get out, you are mine, I am your man, I just want to hear others say that!"

"You don't dare to do anything, okay, you are willing to wrong yourself, but I don't want to! Let me tell you, I will give you two choices, either you agree to my divorce, or I will drag you to the tower early tomorrow morning Go up and kiss you in front of everyone, which one do you choose!"

"You coward who used the name of kindness to cover up your cowardice. If I don't force you, do you plan to live like this for the rest of your life? If it weren't for the Qingfengzhai that makes you unable to let go, Xiao Ran, I really doubt He Ruhui On the first day you came back, you wanted to pack up your belongings and run away!"

Xiao Ran was a little embarrassed by the words, and pulled Bai Ye's arm with both hands to try to let him go, but he couldn't break free, but was forced to raise his eyes and meet Bai Ye's gaze by pinching his jaw tightly.How could he be willing, his eyes rolled around and his eyeballs just didn't want to meet Bai Ye.

Well, Bai Ye... at least the last sentence is correct. When he saw He Ruhui with a full stomach and appeared in front of him for the first time, he rushed out of the room and ran far away. Never face everything impulse.

He was afraid of facing He Ruhui. To Xiao Ran, this woman represented reality.

Xiao Ran can pretend that he doesn't care about anything, and hug and kiss Bai Ye to express his love for him in places where others can't see, but when he sees He Ruhui, it seems that the superficial beauty of his fictional world has been crushed by a big hammer named He Ruhui in an instant. smashed to pieces.

It was like a yellow beam dream, but now, I woke up from the dream.

He should be the bystander who stood aside and watched the happiness of Bai Ye's family of three.

He did feel guilty towards He Ruhui, he robbed this woman's husband-in-law, maybe when He Ruhui vomited and felt uncomfortable in Jiankang City and needed gentle care, he and Bai Ye were making a fuss on this couch...

What face does he have to face He Ruhui?

He was still afraid, afraid of He Ruhui calling him "brother-in-law".Although he didn't show any sincerity every time, every time Xiao Ran felt extremely ashamed.He once said, Qionghua, we want three lives and three lives to be inseparable, but now, Qionghua has been gone for a long time, and he is already with someone else... and he is still a man, the husband-in-law of Qionghua's younger sister!

Every time Xiao Ran thinks of this, he will feel sick to the point of vomiting.Others think that he is accommodating He Ruhui, but in fact...he dare not treat He Ruhui badly.Whatever she wanted, Xiao Ran felt that he was willing to do it. If he could make his inner anxiety feel better, wouldn't he be ridiculed twice? Can it be compared with his own guilt?

Well, opposed to Bai Ye's proposal to divorce his wife, apart from He Ruhui's consideration, did he really have no selfishness?Xiao Ran was afraid, afraid of He Ruhui's accusation when everything was spread out, afraid of his father-in-law's anger, afraid of others' ridicule.He is indeed a cowardly person, he does not have the confidence to make up his mind, and he is also afraid of taking responsibility, he is just a layman, he cannot have the determination to break the boat like Bai Ye.He cares about too many things, he thinks too much, he fears too much...

"Do you want to spend the rest of your life with me, Xiao Ran? I chose you, and I want to live with you forever. What about you? What's your intention?" He murmured in his ear: "Xiao Ran, this is a matter between the two of us, even if I am the only one struggling to support it, you should give me some confidence... We are in love, I don't love Ruhui, I just want to be with you Live on. Xiao Ran, don't worry, I have arranged everything... Ruhui's future life will not be affected, I will take care of the He family's business, you don't have to be afraid... Xiao Ran, why don't you Do you trust me more? You... or you, never thought about staying with me forever?"

"No! No...it's just..."

"Then don't stop me! Everything I do is just for us to be together for a long time. Why don't you think about me and us? Even if you don't have to do anything, you just need to watch me work hard, but Don't pull my hind legs, can't this work?"

Xiao Ran pursed his lips and remained silent, Bai Ye didn't force him anymore, sighed, and kissed the corner of his lips lightly. "Xiao Ran, I must do this, and I will not change my decision. Whether you agree or not, even if you don't understand now, even if you hate me, I will do this. I will not push you away When it comes to the cusp, don’t worry, I will bear all the responsibilities——I only want you, don’t object.”

After a long time, Xiao Ran lowered his eyes slowly and nodded. "……All right."

Bai Ye was delighted when he heard it. Although he insisted on what he said, he was really afraid that Li Ran's temper would show up. Seeing that Li Ran finally nodded, he felt at ease, so he leaned closer and kissed Xiao Ran's mouth, and pushed him to the couch. Stand up as soon as you let go. "Then I'm going to write the divorce letter now."

"What!" Xiao Ran was stunned, and grabbed Bai Ye with his backhand. He was so anxious that he jumped off the couch and fell to the ground, so scared that Bai Ye hurriedly picked him up and put him back on the original place.

"What are you in a hurry for? What if you fall?"

"You want to divorce your wife now? What about the child in Ruhui's stomach?"

"After she gives birth, I will ask someone to take the child back to Xuantianmen and give it to the aunt to raise."

"...Wait, at least wait until Ruhui gives birth to a child before doing this?"

"Why? What's the difference?"

"Bai Ye, this is your child! Divorcing a wife is already a pain, and you want a woman like Hui to bear the responsibility of raising a child alone? Haven't you ever thought about hearing this child's first cry? "

"...No. Xiao Ran, I don't understand what you mean. Why do you have to wait until after Ruhui gives birth? What happened to the child? Don't say I didn't expect Ruhui to be happy. If I had known... I never thought about it If it wasn't because of you, I thought I would be alone for the rest of my life. I never thought about getting involved." Bai Ye took Xiao Ran's hand and sat down beside him again. "I know you attach great importance to tradition and family. Children's words may be very important to you, but to me, the longer the matter between me and Ruhui drags on, the more uneasy I feel. You If you like children, you can take them back and raise them. But if it’s you, I’m afraid it’s another little nerd who taught you... But I don’t think my aunt and brother will care about these things.”

"It's not this question, Bai Ye, do you really never think about having a child? Your flesh and blood!" Xiao Ran took a breath, took a breath, and whispered, holding Bai Ye's hand: "Bai Ye , I have heard that if a pregnant woman is stimulated during pregnancy, it will directly affect the mind and health of the fetus in the womb. Ruhui once said that she has been pregnant for more than six months, and you can't wait any longer How many months?"

"Just let me watch her domineering in the name of Mrs. Bai and let me watch her reject you and bully you? Xiao Ran, you don't need to cherish yourself, but I can't! I don't want you to suffer A little bit of grievance!" If Bai Ye had Ni Lin, Xiao Ran must be, and now hearing Li Ran's appearance of wanting to compromise, he felt extremely unhappy. "If you insist on saying that, I don't want this kind of burden! Whether it's Ruhui or the child in her belly, I don't want anything!"

A crisp "pop" not only interrupted Bai Ye's unfinished words, but also made him... unable to speak again.

Xiao Ran, who still raised his hands in the air, was panting anxiously, his eyes were flushed. "How can you say such stupid words! Do you know, do you know how many people want a child but can't ask for it! How can you say no to such an important existence so easily!"

Before Qionghua died, she still regretted that she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter. Even though she knew that Qionghua was not in good health and could not raise her, but in her heart...in fact, she secretly hoped that her own child would be born.Being alone for so many years, seeing other people's children waiting to be fed, seeing toddlers, seeing those who are babbling, seeing shy people hiding behind their parents, seeing those other people's children who squinted and smiled and called him Mr. Who understands the sourness?

He thought that even if Bai Ye and He Ruhui had no feelings for each other, at least this was Bai Ye's child!Tiger poison doesn't even eat babies, Bai Ye, how cruel can you go?One's own flesh and blood can say no or no?

Why is Qionghua's lifelong wish so worthless in this person's eyes?Why, this person can be so indifferent to his own regrets?

"You, if you dare...Bai Ye, I will become a monk immediately, and I will eat fast, chant Buddha, and recite mantras for your child for the rest of my life!"

"You dare! Whichever temple you enter, I will demolish that temple immediately! If you enter one, I will demolish one. I want to see who else dares to keep you!...Why are you crying?"

"...Don't cry, I'm just talking casually, really, I won't really do anything to He Ruhui, don't cry, that's my child, I'm just talking nonsense, can you not Do you know my temper?"

"...I really just said it casually, don't cry..."

"I'll talk to Ruhui about divorcing my wife after the child is born, okay?"

"...I will stay with Ruhui in the mansion, and I will watch the child fall to the ground with my own eyes, okay?"

"...When the time comes, I will raise the child for you and let him call you father, okay?"

"Stop crying..."
