Can We Say No to Divorce?

Chapter 834 - 584: Once Deeply in Love (Extra)

Zhuo Yufeng heard the meaning behind his words: "So, you’re bothered that she has Bai Ye in her heart?"

"No!" Song Xuyao denied, "I was just making an analogy. Both she and I have someone else in our hearts, so it’s impossible for us to be together. You don’t have to play matchmaker!"

"Then why did you sleep with her?" Zhuo Yufeng punched his car.

Song Xuyao lit a cigarette without saying anything.

"Say something?" Zhuo Yufeng was furious. "I didn’t want to expose you two, but I can’t hold back anymore. You are both my colleagues, my comrades who fight alongside me. The first time was because of alcohol, but what about the second and third times?"

Song Xuyao took a deep drag on his cigarette, "Our situation is different; it’s just physical comfort for each other!"

"So, happy together at night, say goodbye in the morning!" Zhuo Yufeng glared at him. "If Nian Enxi hadn’t appeared, how long were you planning to sleep with her?"

"Even I don’t know the answer to that question!" Song Xuyao finished his cigarette, then stubbed it out and said to Zhuo Yufeng, "Zhuo Yufeng, don’t get involved in our matters. Neither of us can save the other. She’s never cared about marriage, nor does she want it!"

"That’s because you’re not sincere!" Zhuo Yufeng pointed straight at his heart, "Have you really thought about marriage? Oh, you sleep with her and then casually say to her, ’Let’s get married!’ What do you take her for? She has a steady high-income job, she is an intellectual with high academic qualifications, she has a calm head and thoughts. When you casually suggest marriage, how much sincerity do you think she hears?"

"And what about her sincerity?" Song Xuyao pointed at his own chest, "Where’s her sincerity?"

Zhuo Yufeng chuckled sarcastically, "She once loved you. Everyone at the police station knew! I’m tired of talking to you. Go show off your love with your stand-in, Nian Enxi!"

She once loved you. Everyone at the police station knew!

This sentence’s impact almost made Song Xuyao forget the past. He had completely forgotten how much Qiao Xiaoyan had once liked him back then!

After finishing his rant, Zhuo Yufeng left the parking lot and went upstairs to check on Qiao Xiaoyan.

Lu Xiao was murmuring at Qiao Xiaoyan, "Look at you, with a stomach ache yet unaware. How to take care of yourself? I’m such a fool, how did I not notice you were sick!"

When Zhuo Yufeng came up, Qiao Xiaoyan quickly said, "Sir Zhuo, you’re finally here. Xiao’s nagging is driving me crazy, worse than my mother. Please take her away!"

Lu Xiao saw him and said, "Sir Zhuo, you accompany Xiaoyan, I’ll go make some porridge for her."

"No need to trouble yourself!" Qiao Xiaoyan said, "I’m not hungry!"

"It’s no trouble! Watch my skills!" Lu Xiao cheerfully went into the kitchen.

At this time, Zhuo Yufeng picked up the medicine on her desk and carefully examined each item. Qiao Xiaoyan chuckled lightly, "What are you doing?"

"Checking if the doctor is responsible? What kind of medicine he prescribed for you!" Zhuo Yufeng sighed with relief, seeing she was genuinely treating her stomach ailment.

"You’re in trouble now; it was Dr. Gu Qingchen who prescribed it!" Qiao Xiaoyan laughed, "You dare say he’s irresponsible?"

"Silly girl!" Zhuo Yufeng laughed too, stood up, and walked to the window, "The location here is quite valuable, you’re quite the little rich lady!"

"Of course!" Qiao Xiaoyan also stood up and walked beside him, "Proves I have an eye for investment. When I bought it, the price here was only thirty thousand per square meter. Now, it’s over fifty thousand! I’ll just work hard, save some money, and retire early. The world is so big, I want to go see it."

"Retirement is still far away!" Zhuo Yufeng sighed.

"I’m just sharing my thoughts!" Qiao Xiaoyan shrugged.

At this moment, Zhuo Yufeng gazed into her eyes, "Xiaoyan, we’ve been colleagues for many years, there’s something I want to tell you!"

"Why so serious all of a sudden?" Qiao Xiaoyan glanced at him.

Zhuo Yufeng said, "Bai Ye has already left, you should start a new life. You can still cherish his memory, and if there’s a man beside you who can accept and care for you, who is willing to mourn with you, you can consider it."

Qiao Xiaoyan nodded, "I will!"

"That’s good..." Zhuo Yufeng also nodded.

"The porridge is ready!" Lu Xiao came out of the kitchen, "You two, try the chef’s skill!"

The three of them sat at the dining table. Lu Xiao served them porridge; Qiao Xiaoyan praised, "Not bad, Xiao; whoever marries you will be lucky."

"I won’t be cooking porridge every day even if I get married!" Lu Xiao laughed, "I only cook porridge when I’m in a good mood. Besides, I’m still too young to get married, right? No!"

Zhuo Yufeng suddenly had three black lines on his forehead!

...

After resting for a week, Qiao Xiaoyan went to the hospital for a follow-up and ran into Nian Enxi.

"Miss Qiao, how are you feeling?" Nian Enxi approached, "You look pretty good, so you must be recovering well."

"I’m here for a follow-up today," Qiao Xiaoyan said, "Thanks for that day."

"That’s my duty, don’t mention it," Nian Enxi said, "Also, you’re colleague of Song sir, we’re friends now!"

Qiao Xiaoyan nodded.

"I’m about to get off work, Song sir’s coming to pick me up!" Nian Enxi said, "He picks me up from work every morning."

Her tone was filled with the coyness of a young girl in love.

Song Xuyao walked over from the parking lot. He didn’t expect to see Qiao Xiaoyan again, nodding at her.

Qiao Xiaoyan turned first, "Alright, I’ll go for the check-up."

Nian Enxi and Song Xuyao got into the car. She looked at his silence and asked, "I really couldn’t tell, Miss Qiao is so slender, can she really be a forensic pathologist? Does she have that much strength when wielding a knife during an autopsy?"

"You can’t judge a person by appearance," Song Xuyao replied coolly. "She’s a very professional forensic pathologist with an excellent reputation in the field."

"Does she have a boyfriend?" Nian Enxi asked. "Anyone who is her boyfriend might be a little scared. What if she gets up in the middle of the night, thinking she’s at work, and picks up a kitchen knife to chop up her boyfriend?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Song Xuyao frowned. "Respect her professionalism."

Nian Enxi stuck out her tongue, "Yes!"

...

Weekend.

Lu Xiao organized everyone to go to the countryside to pick fresh longans. Zhuo Yufeng was the driver, which was a must. Song Xuyao had just picked up Nian Enxi from work. When Nian Enxi heard they were going to the countryside to pick fresh fruit, she said, "I want to go too!"

"Let’s go together!" Song Xuyao said.

So, the two men drove two cars and headed to the countryside orchard together.

Upon arriving at the countryside orchard, Zhuo Yufeng preferred to rest in the car. He wasn’t interested in the hassle of climbing trees to pick fruit.

They’re humans, not monkeys.

Nian Enxi looked at Song Xuyao and picked a cluster for him: "I’ll give it to you and Sir Zhuo first. I’ll go pick more later."

"Be careful!" Song Xuyao nodded.

The two men waited in the car, while Song Xuyao leaned against the seat, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds, wondering how long it’s been since he felt like this.

The orchard was huge, and as Qiao Xiaoyan and Lu Xiao walked, they got separated.

Lu Xiao couldn’t find Nian Enxi either, so she hurriedly called Zhuo Yufeng: "Have you seen Xiaoyan?"

"No! Wasn’t she with you picking longans?" Zhuo Yufeng stepped out of the car, "Did you try calling her?"

"I can’t get through!" Lu Xiao was a bit anxious.

Zhuo Yufeng reassured her, "Don’t worry, let’s look around first. It might be a signal issue with the phone."

"By the way, I also haven’t seen Nian Enxi..." Lu Xiao said.

After hanging up the phone, Zhuo Yufeng went and knocked on Song Xuyao’s car door, "Xiaoyan is missing!"

"What?" Song Xuyao got out of the car, "How could she be missing?"

Zhuo Yufeng said, "Lu Xiao also said she hasn’t seen Nian Enxi!"

Song Xuyao pointed to the car, "Her phone is in the car! They should be in the orchard. Let’s go look."

Zhuo Yufeng stared at Song Xuyao, "Who are you going to look for?"

"You and Lu Xiao look for Qiao Xiaoyan, I’ll go find Nian Enxi." Song Xuyao picked up Nian Enxi’s phone.

"Old Song, should we switch whom we look for?" Zhuo Yufeng asked him.

Song Xuyao walked a few steps, then stopped, turned around, "Zhuo Yufeng, stop being so childish, okay? Qiao Xiaoyan and I are adults, we know what we’re doing, and besides, I’ve already told her we broke up peacefully."

"Pretend I never said anything." Zhuo Yufeng bypassed him and went to meet up with Lu Xiao to search for Qiao Xiaoyan together.

Song Xuyao then went to find Nian Enxi, quickly locating her, and when they returned to the car, Zhuo Yufeng and Lu Xiao had yet to emerge.

He lit a cigarette just as Nian Enxi was about to feed him longans. She had peeled the longan and was feeding it to his mouth.

He looked at her and smiled slightly, "You eat some too, don’t just worry about me!"

After finishing his cigarette, Song Xuyao got out his phone and dialed Zhuo Yufeng, "Have you found Qiao Xiaoyan yet?"

"Not yet!" Zhuo Yufeng responded.

"I’ll come help look," Song Xuyao said, then to Nian Enxi, "You wait here for us. Qiao Xiaoyan lost contact in the orchard. Sir Zhuo and I will go search for her."

"I’ll go too!" Nian Enxi said.

"You’re tired, wait for us in the car, be good!" Song Xuyao, being a rather domineering person, once he made a decision, everyone had to listen.

So Nian Enxi obediently waited in the car for him to return.

Song Xuyao entered the orchard again. He never understood the appeal of entering an orchard and personally picking longans.

"Qiao Xiaoyan..." Song Xuyao called her name.

From the past until now, he’s always called her by her full name.

He walked as he called, but there was no sign of her anywhere!

He tried calling her phone, but the signal was lost.
