Chapter 370 - 348: Otherwise... Let’s Get Divorced
Dudu thought, it’s better to delay as much as possible. She nodded in agreement.Dinners with parents always seemed torturous. After chatting about family matters for a long time, Dudu finally used the excuse of having to work tomorrow to leave with Qiao Luchen.
As soon as the car drove off, Dudu blamed him: "Why didn’t you say anything just now? You left me to handle it all by myself."
Qiao Luchen gave her a cold glance without answering. Dudu looked at him and asked, "What’s wrong? Did you have a bad day outside again?"
"Do you plan to keep going like this?"
"What do you mean?"
Qiao Luchen’s face and tone were serious, not joking: "How long do you think you can keep this up?"
Dudu lowered her gaze, her tone softened: "As long as I can manage."
"Why can’t you choose to accept this marriage? Do you always think I married you just to be your nominal husband?"
Dudu turned her head to look at him. Their relationship had unknowingly become like this. She never thought about integrating into this marriage and always treated it as a contract. She never considered what to do in the future.
Seeing her staying silent, Qiao Luchen took a breath and said calmly, "With marriage, having children is only a matter of time. You’d better be mentally prepared."
Dudu silently looked out the window, her thoughts wandering. Why, even after choosing to marry, couldn’t she forget him? It’s been over half a year since they last met. If she didn’t seek him out, he would never reach out to her first. But why, deep down, did she still want to wait for him? She even overlooked how unfair she was being to Qiao Luchen.
Trying to be a real couple with Qiao Luchen, she attempted but realized she couldn’t do it. They couldn’t get close. After being married for half a year, she knew little about him. They had no overlap in work, and in life, each led their own way. He had his circles, and she had hers. In the evening, they only occasionally had a meal together and then went about their own business. They resembled co-living roommates more than a married couple, living under the same roof but unfamiliar with each other.
He was right; this kind of life wasn’t sustainable. One day, she would have to face the problems she was currently avoiding.
Accept or end?
"Why don’t we... get a divorce?"
As soon as she spoke, Qiao Luchen’s grip on the steering wheel tightened.
It turned out she never thought about being with him. Even under pressure, her choice was to leave him rather than integrate into the marriage.
Dudu didn’t notice his expression and said apologetically, "I can’t genuinely commit to this marriage, nor will I have children with you. I can’t waste your time anymore..."
"I’ll handle the divorce. I’ll say we have irreconcilable differences. Tell your family that I’m lazy, bad-tempered, whatever. A guy with your qualities can easily find a girl."
Qiao Luchen’s knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel. He took a deep breath to control his emotions and looked ahead, asking her calmly: "What about you?"
Upon hearing that, Dudu smiled: "Me? It doesn’t matter. Anyway... I never planned on being happy, but I can’t drag you into suffering with me."
Without him, she didn’t know how to pursue happiness. Even if she met someone good, she felt they weren’t what she wanted. Even if she was loved, she’d feel that love was too heavy, suffocating her...
