Chapter 705: A Million Times for You (67)

If they hadn’t locked her up in the ancestral hall and had allowed her to abort the fetus, Ye Jiani probably would not have met with the mishap.

This was Heaven’s way of punishing Mo Li for life.

It was an unforgettable punishment that would mar her for the rest of her life.

Staring at her parents, whose eyes were red and swollen, Mo Li said softly, “Lie down on the bed and get some rest.”

“I’ll accompany you, let your father rest.” Mrs. Mo was afraid that her daughter would do something foolish and thus refused to fall asleep no matter how tired she was.

Mr. Mo lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep despite the fatigue.

However, he tried to force himself to do so.

Mrs. Mo held onto Mo Li’s hand and constantly tried to comfort and counsel her.

She did not want Mo Li to give up on life. After all, she was only thirty years old and could not afford to waste her life away.

No way…

An Xiaoning heard about the incident from Lin Mingxi only during breakfast the next morning.

However, she was not exactly surprised, although she took pity on Ye Jiani.

Since Gu Beicheng and Ye Xiaotian were close friends, An Xiaoning decided to go with Gu Beicheng to visit Mo Li in the hospital.

Lin Mingxi had to tend to matters at her fitness center and thus did not have the time to make a trip there.

An Xiaoning and Gu Beicheng headed to the hospital on their own.

As soon as they arrived at the VIP wards, they caught sight of Mr. and Mrs. Ye waiting outside the ward while Ye Xiaotian appeared shortly after, seemingly having been chased out.

The last time they met Ye Xiaotian was during the auction in D City.

After just days of not seeing each other, Gu Beicheng was shocked to see how haggard Ye Xiaotian had become. His eyes were bloodshot, and he had clearly just suffered a huge blow.

Gu Beicheng stepped forward and gave him a pat on his shoulder to comfort him while An Xiaoning entered the ward.

Mrs. Mo took the fruit basket from her hands. Upon the sight of An Xiaoning, Mo Li lost control of her emotions and began bawling loudly again.

“Xiaoning…”

“Take good care of your body and health. No one wanted this to happen,” An Xiaoning consoled her softly.

“Ms. An, could you please perform a ritual for Nini? She must be terrified… I’d like her to leave peacefully.”

“Alright, focus on recuperating for now. Once you’ve almost recovered, I’ll perform a ritual for the child together with you.”

Mo Li nodded and said in between sobs, “Thank you for coming to visit me.”

“One is bound to meet with troubles and obstacles in life. Life has its ups and downs. You’ve suffered enough hardship, and I wonder, have you started to see everything and thought through it carefully? Do you now know what you want?”

“If I still haven’t got it figured out even until today, I would’ve lived my life in vain. When I first heard that Nini had passed away, I felt such a strong urge to kill myself and die together with her because I felt that I would be better off dead. After thinking through it for an entire night, I realized that I can’t do that because I still have my parents with me and I’ve yet to repay them for raising me. I can’t leave before them. No matter what, I must live on well. I must give myself hope even if I’ve lost all of it,” said Mo Li, keeping her eyes fixed on An Xiaoning.

An Xiaoning bent forward and gave her a tight hug.

The weak woman who could not retaliate against Ye Xiaotian must have seen everything clearly now that she had already brought herself this far.

An Xiaoning was rather heartened.

It was never too late to realize what was best for oneself.

“Hope you’ll get better soon,” said Gu Beicheng.

“Thank you.”

Mo Li told her mother to call Ye Xiaotian into the ward after An Xiaoning and Gu Beicheng had left.

Ye Xiaotian, who was chased out of the ward previously, stepped foot inside again together with his parents.

Mo Li did not know who she should put the blame on. In fact, she resented herself for being weak and indecisive much more than she resented Ye Xiaotian and her mother-in-law.

She could barely stand the sight of the Ye family.

However, she ought to discuss some serious matters with Ye Xiaotian now.

“We must get a divorce. I don’t want anything else. I just want to be free.”

Ye Xiaotian was well aware that this day would come.

He was weighed down by the woes of his family and business.

“Nini gave me a call last night, and she pleaded for me to never divorce you. She asked if I could stay with you forever and never abandon you. I agreed to her request,” said Ye Xiaotian.

Tears welled up in Mo Li’s eyes and she scoffed, “Do you really think we can continue living together? Ye Xiaotian, I’ll never continue being in a relationship with you even if I’m dead. We must get a divorce no matter what. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to divorce you.”

Ye Xiaotian did not answer.

Staring at the man who ruined half of her life, Mo Li was filled with pain and agony. He was just like her greatest nightmare, which she had now woken up from. Now that she was awake, she no longer wanted anything to do with him.

She was determined to leave this hell hole, even if it meant that she would have to be alone for the rest of her life.

Noticing that her son was remaining silent, Mrs. Ye decided to answer on his behalf.

“Get a divorce! You and Xiaotian shall get a divorce as you said. Nini is gone now, so is the fetus you were carrying. I doubt you can ever conceive again after stabbing yourself in your abdomen so many times. Fancy you initiating a divorce even before Xiaotian does. You two shall divorce each other today!” she barked.

“Mother!” Ye Xiaotian snapped, glowering at his mother, seemingly trying to tell her to stop.

“We’ll get a divorce today. Sorry for the trouble, but I’ll need you to bring me the divorce agreement.”

“Mo Li… let’s talk about this another day. Your health is of the utmost importance now,” said the mentally and physically exhausted Ye Xiaotian.

“No, nothing is more important than this right now. Ye Xiaotian, are you still unwilling to let me off even when things have already come to this!?! I don’t want anything but a divorce now. Please grant my wish, will you!?!” Mo Li yelled, her eyes red and swollen.

The ambiance turned grave and cold. Mr. Ye sighed and left the ward.

Noticing how reluctant Ye Xiaotian was in getting a divorce, Mrs. Ye could not help but say, “I’ll bring you the divorce agreement later.”

Mo Li closed her eyes and said, “That’d better be the case. You can scram now.”

Ye Xiaotian clenched his fists tightly and left the hospital ward while grabbing Mrs. Ye by her arm and pulling her along.

The car pulled over slowly at the Civil Administrations Office.

Jin Qingyue alighted from the car merrily, clad in a cap, while Ling Ciye got out of the car from the other door. She stopped in her tracks and waited for him to come forth. She then grabbed his arm quickly and entered the office with him, all smiles.

It was the 8th of December, an auspicious day.

It was the day that they had planned to register their marriage.

They were both in high spirits and proceeded to take a photo together against the red backdrop, exchanged vows, and collected their red-colored marriage certificate booklet.

Ling Ciye looked at their newly-minted certificate and kissed it a few times.

He tucked her bangs to the side while smiling and grabbed her hand as they made their exit.

The weather was comfortably warm today after the snowstorm the day before. The sun had risen from the East and was casting its rays down onto the earth below.

Jin Qingyue squinted and turned to the side to hug his waist, snuggling up into his embrace while beaming with joy.
