The word divorce made Shen Qieyi’s heart freeze. She looked up at him, hoping to see his thoughts from his expression.
She was even more afraid that Fu Yao would say “Let’s divorce then.”
Shen Qieyi could hear her heartbeats. She was not afraid of Fu Yao’s fury. What she feared most was his silence.
The silent Fu Yao was the scariest person in the world. Nobody could figure out what he was thinking, and Shen Qieyi felt tormented.
Shen Qieyi waited for a long time. When she lowered her eyes and looked up again, she suddenly heard Fu Yao’s sneer.
“Mrs. Fu.” Fu Yao’s voice was cold. “Don’t forget who you are.”
This was the only time he addressed her this way to remind her of her identity.
The last glimmer of hope raised in Shen Qieyi’s heart because of the title of wife was destroyed in an instant.
Then, Fu Yao strode away.
Shen Qieyi’s heart ached as she looked at his back. She stared blankly in that direction until he disappeared, but she was still lost in her thoughts.
Why did he appear here all of a sudden? Although they had been married for a long time, Fu Yao had always regarded her as trash. Their usual interaction made him sick, he would stay far away from her if he could. Why did he suddenly come to the hospital?
The andrology department was on the third floor of the hospital. If he had not been sick due to a messy sex life, then it meant that he was here to look for her.
But both reasons were not very possible. She felt lost and confused.
… It was late at night. Shen Qieyi had stayed in the office for a long time. Only the lights in her office were still on.
Under the incandescent lamp, she quietly looked out of the window with no focus in her eyes.
She did not dare to return home and had never been as panicky as she was now. Just like when Fu Yao had left angrily in the corridor earlier, she did not have the courage to chase after him.
But there was no way to hide forever.
In the end, Shen Qieyi sighed. After packing up, she took off her white coat and left.
Shen Qieyi felt cold all over before she got home. Looking at the European-style villa not far away, her heart was empty.
This house had never given her warmth but brought her only cold and pain.
However, she was the one who had trapped herself in it.
When she got out of the car, she saw that the lights of the bedroom on the second floor was on. Shen Qieyi took a deep breath. After all, she had to face it.
When she entered the villa, the servants were packing up. The housekeeper came up to her looking troubled. “Ms. Shen.”
“Mm?”
“Sir seems to be very unhappy today. From the time he came back, he had already locked himself in the room. Even the servant was driven out when she asked him to have dinner.”
Shen Qieyi was very clear that Fu Yao was still very angry.
Although Fu Yao had a bad attitude towards her, he had never lost his temper in front of the servants. He had driven the maid out, which showed that he was very angry.
No wonder the housekeeper was so worried that he came to her even though she was useless in comforting Fu Yao.
Shen Qieyi nodded. “I will go up and have a look.”
Before she entered the bedroom, a puff of smoke drifted around her. As she approached, the smell became stronger.
The bedroom door was half-closed. After hesitating at the door, Shen Qieyi gently pushed the door open.
What entered her sight was a floor of cigarette butts. Fu Yao lowered his head and smoked. No one knew what he was thinking, but he seemed to be intimidating, which made people afraid to approach him.
Hearing the noise at the door, Fu Yao did not turn around, but took out another cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, and put it into his mouth.
He familiarly put the cigarette butt between his fingers and breathed out white smoke.
“I’m sorry.” After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qieyi chose to step forward.
Her words made Fu Yao raise his head and stare at her. His gaze was deep, and she got nervous.
Shen Qieyi knew that he was waiting for her explanation.
When they looked at each other, she saw the bruises on his face.
Bai Jingyan and Fu Yao fought with each other, and each of their strikes was heavier than the other. It was obvious that they would be injured.
She opened the drawer in front of the bedside table, took out the ointment, and said, “He’s my patient, but he has a bad temper. He likes to cause troubles. Sorry.”
What Fu Yao hated most was beating around the bush. Since she knew what he was thinking, he was also waiting for her to explain. Hence, Shen Qieyi went straight to the point.
She applied the ointment on the cotton swab and sat beside Fu Yao, but she kept a certain distance.
“Your wound is on your face, so you must get treated.” Shen Qieyi gently took the cotton swab and smeared it on Fu Yao’s wound.
“Since he’s only your patient, why do you have to apologize? Who are you to apologize for him?” Fu Yao’s voice was indifferent and cold.
His words made Shen Qieyi speechless.
Shen Qieyi didn’t know how to explain it. Fu Yao’s question was too tricky, and everything was directed at Bai Jingyan.
Although she had not done anything wrong, she did not know how to answer Fu Yao’s question.
The room was silent. The tension was so high that Shen Qieyi felt suffocated. She just wanted to quickly apply for the medicine and then leave.
“Shen Qieyi, do you really want to divorce?” Seeing that she did not speak, Fu Yao continued.
Upon hearing the word divorce, Shen Qieyi’s hand suddenly shook, so she accidentally put too much pressure on Fu Yao’s wound, which made him hiss.
“I’m sorry.” She threw away the cotton swab on her hand and said lightly, “If you want to divorce me, I have no objection.”
To be honest, Shen Qieyi used to be reluctant to leave him, and she wanted to cherish this marriage.
But they would be tormenting each other if they stayed together. It was better to separate as soon as possible. In this way, Fu Yao would hate her less.
“Ha.” Fu Yao looked at Shen Qieyi indifferently. “It seems that you have already found a place to go, so you’re ready to divorce.”
As he said that, he suddenly reached out and pinched her face, forcing her to look at the mirror on the dressing table in front of her.
He said with contempt, “Do you think that man really wants a woman like you? Don’t you know how you look? You look fat and ugly.”
Shen Qieyi looked at herself in the mirror. Her chubby face was delicate, but it looked mediocre because she was fat and her features were squeezed together.
Especially when she was with Fu Yao, she looked worse in contrast.
Although Shen Qieyi’s heart had been numbed, she could still feel the pain. Tears rolled down the corner of her eyes.
It dripped onto Fu Yao’s finger and felt boiling hot.
Fu Yao frowned and squinted at Shen Qieyi. Finally, he let go.
He took out a tissue and wiped his hands with a disgusted face. “Even if he really wants you, I will never divorce you.”
