Can We Say No to Divorce?

Chapter 833 - 583: Exposing the Relationship

Zhuo Yufeng and the other two also greeted Nian Enxi.

Song Xuyao said, "Enxi is going to work now, I’ll take her there first, otherwise she’ll be late!"

"Alright, goodbye!" Zhuo Yufeng bid them farewell.

Qiao Xiaoyan and Lu Xiao got into Zhuo Yufeng’s car, and the three headed to the library.

Lu Xiao furrowed her brow, "Why do I feel like that woman looks familiar?"

"She looks exactly like Song Chenxi!" Zhuo Yufeng, who was the most experienced, said.

"What?" Lu Xiao exclaimed, bumping her head on the car roof, and she rubbed her aching head, "So, Song sir found a replacement..."

"Do we need to use such a harsh term like ’replacement’?" Zhuo Yufeng said, "Or perhaps she’s his true love?"

"True love, my ass!" Lu Xiao didn’t believe it, "According to psychology, people like him, having lost Song Chenxi, subconsciously need a replacement like Nian Enxi, but if he really has to live with a replacement for a lifetime, he’ll fall into an unending loop of dead ends..."

Qiao Xiaoyan remained silent, she had guessed that Song Xuyao was in a new relationship.

However, she hadn’t thought that there could be someone so similar in the world, a woman who looked so much like Song Chenxi.

Until Zhuo Yufeng kept calling her, "Xiaoyan... Xiaoyan..."

Lu Xiao patted her hand, "What are you thinking about? So engrossed?"

"Nothing..." Qiao Xiaoyan smiled, "As long as he’s happy, that’s all that matters."

"Okay then!" Lu Xiao firmly held her belief, "I don’t think their romance will last, just think about it, who would want to be a replacement for a lifetime. People’s desires are endless, human nature is greedy, being a temporary replacement is fine, but if it’s long-term, Nian Enxi is definitely going to argue with Song Sir..."

Zhuo Yufeng, driving, retorted, "How do you know? You seem so young, and haven’t truly been in love, where do these theories come from?"

"Some people are just naturally smart!" Lu Xiao said, "Why don’t we make a bet? If they end up married, I’ll treat you all to skiing in Tokyo. If they don’t get married, you treat me to skiing..."

"Marriage isn’t a game, it can’t be gambled on!" Zhuo Yufeng, worried about Qiao Xiaoyan’s mood, decided not to argue with Lu Xiao, "Lu Xiao, stop it!"

"Alright, I’ll stop!" Lu Xiao looked at Qiao Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, why do you look so pale?"

Qiao Xiaoyan smiled softly, "It’s nothing, maybe the alcohol from last night hasn’t worn off yet..."

"Can you still go to the library with me?" Lu Xiao was concerned, "If you’re not feeling well, just go home and rest, I can go by myself!"

"It’s fine, I also have some materials to check..." Qiao Xiaoyan reassured her, "Don’t worry about me, I’m not that fragile."

After the three arrived at the library, Lu Xiao went to borrow books, Zhuo Yufeng went to park the car, and Qiao Xiaoyan’s stomach hurt a bit; she leaned against the wall for a while, but the pain persisted.

She texted Lu Xiao: "I’m not feeling well, I’m heading back first!"

After sending the message, she slowly walked outside, stopping in front of a billboard, clutching her aching stomach.

"What’s wrong?" A familiar voice came over.

Shao Yelin happened to pass by and saw Qiao Xiaoyan; he noticed her pale face and quickly got out of the car, helping her into his car, "Are you feeling unwell? I’ll take you to the hospital immediately."

"No need!" Qiao Xiaoyan said, "I just want to go home."

"No way!" Shao Yelin started the car, not feeling at ease about her being home alone in such a state, "If you don’t listen, I will inform your sister."

Qiao Xiaoyan weakly smiled; she indeed didn’t want her sister to know any of this!

Shao Yelin’s threat was quite effective, and he drove her to the hospital, carrying her in to register at emergency.

Song Xuyao was about to drive away when he saw Shao Yelin carrying Qiao Xiaoyan inside; he stepped forward, "What’s the matter with you?"

Qiao Xiaoyan’s face was pale, she felt so bad that she couldn’t speak, and her hand was placed on her abdomen.

Song Xuyao’s expression was serious, he hadn’t met Shao Yelin, "Thank you for bringing her here, I’ll take it from here!"

"Who are you..." Shao Yelin hesitated a bit.

"I’m her colleague!" Song Xuyao said, "I’m Song Xuyao..."

Nian Enxi also came over, "Song Sir, isn’t this Miss Qiao? What happened to her?"

Shao Yelin said, "Going to emergency, she might have a stomachache."

"I’ll call a doctor right away!" Nian Enxi immediately ran off to find a doctor.

Song Xuyao then took Qiao Xiaoyan from Shao Yelin’s arms and softly asked, "Could it be that you’re pregnant?"

Qiao Xiaoyan knew she couldn’t blame his heartlessness, wondering if he’s thinking that since he’s in a new relationship, he should take responsibility if she’s pregnant?

Back then, they only spent the nights together, without any promises to each other.

They didn’t have any in the past, and still don’t have any now.

Or maybe she wasn’t strong enough, at this most vulnerable moment, she couldn’t break it off decisively.

He cared not for her health, but whether she was pregnant or not.

She knew she shouldn’t care about him, and just smile it off.

"Pregnant." Qiao Xiaoyan suddenly thought this man was having a hard time; she wasn’t originally such an aggressive woman.

She wasn’t pregnant; she just said it on purpose!

She wanted to see how this man would handle their relationship!

Song Xuyao stared at her, and she looked right back at him.

One was a policeman, skilled at exposing the other’s lies.

One was a forensic doctor, adept at dissecting people with precision.

Their gaze at each other was devoid of emotion. All there was, was scrutiny of the other’s words—truth or lie?

"Xiaoyan..." Song Xuyao started with difficulty, "After the check-up, let’s talk!"

"Alright!" Qiao Xiaoyan got out of his embrace and called Gu Qingchen: "Doctor Gu, I want to meet you..."

Gu Qingchen personally examined Qiao Xiaoyan, then smiled knowingly, "Rest assured, you’re not pregnant. It’s just your stomach isn’t in great shape. You drank last night, which hurt your stomach, but you’ll be fine after some rest. Also, don’t let heartbreak hurt your stomach. You understand this logic, but I still need to tell you, right?"

Qiao Xiaoyan nodded, "Thank you!"

As he walked her out, she looked at him, "Could you do me a favor?"

"Speak." Gu Qingchen nodded.

Qiao Xiaoyan looked at him, "If I say I’m pregnant, please don’t expose my lie..."

"I didn’t hear anything." Gu Qingchen patted her shoulder.

When they walked out together, Shao Yelin and Song Xuyao were both waiting for her outside.

Shao Yelin came up to them, "Doctor Gu, thank you for your hard work. Xiaoyan, how are you?"

"I’m fine!" Qiao Xiaoyan waved the medicine in her hand, "Doctor Gu prescribed me some medicine. I just need to take it on time. Thank you for bringing me to the hospital today, Mr. Shao."

"It’s no problem; let me take you home to rest!" Shao Yelin said.

"Alright!" Qiao Xiaoyan got into his car.

...

In the evening, Qiao Xiaoyan was at home watching TV, lying on the sofa, flipping through the channels.

The doorbell rang, and she walked over to open the door.

Song Xuyao came in.

As soon as he came in, he saw a glass of water on the coffee table and some stomach medicine from the hospital. He didn’t say a word.

Qiao Xiaoyan lay back on the sofa, continuing to watch her TV.

"Xiaoyan..." Song Xuyao gazed at her, "Are you pregnant?"

"Don’t worry! I won’t make you take responsibility." Qiao Xiaoyan suddenly realized how childish she had been claiming she was pregnant at the hospital!

Song Xuyao looked at her, "Let’s get married."

Qiao Xiaoyan listened to this, but there wasn’t a hint of emotion, instead a strong aversion to the words. The so-called responsibility was devoid of emotion. Did she, Qiao Xiaoyan, need someone to take responsibility like this?

"Song Xuyao, I won’t get married without love." Qiao Xiaoyan sat up straight, "And, I’m not pregnant. I won’t deny that the moment you held me, I was just messing with you!"

"Qiao Xiaoyan!" Song Xuyao, somewhat angry, "Having a child is a big deal, and you were just toying with me?"

"In any case, I’m not pregnant." Qiao Xiaoyan calmly replied, "I’m a sensible person, and I’m not ready to be a mother. I’m a forensic doctor; I get monthly birth control shots!"

She thought, Song Xuyao probably wasn’t ready to be a father, either!

Song Xuyao gazed at her, "I always thought you were pure. I never imagined you would play me like this."

"People change!" Qiao Xiaoyan sighed lightly.

Song Xuyao nodded, "In that case, let’s end this relationship."

"Alright!" Qiao Xiaoyan had long anticipated this outcome.

Song Xuyao strode out. The moment the door slammed shut, she slowly exhaled a sigh of relief!

The beginning was without reason, and so was the end.

As he went downstairs, Zhuo Yufeng and Lu Xiao also came to see Qiao Xiaoyan.

Lu Xiao didn’t see Song Xuyao, and Zhuo Yufeng said to her, "You go up to see Xiaoyan first; I have something to do and will come up later."

"Alright!" Lu Xiao took the elevator to Qiao Xiaoyan’s place.

At this time, Zhuo Yufeng followed Song Xuyao to the parking lot. He swung a punch immediately, and Song Xuyao dodged, "Why? Are you addicted to following me now?"

"I’m following you? I’m here to see Xiaoyan. Song Xuyao, what exactly do you want? Do you have any humanity left? Xiaoyan drank and hurt her stomach; when I brought her back last night, did you care for her at all?" Zhuo Yufeng raised his fist, "And what’s going on with you and Nian Enxi? Let me tell you, she’s just a woman who looks similar, she’s not Song Chenxi. Song Xuyao, wake up!"

Song Xuyao frowned, displeased, "Where’s the concern between her and me? My leg was injured, and she didn’t care about me either. Didn’t she just run off to another city to see Bai Ye? As for who Nian Enxi is, I know better than anyone what I’m doing."
