Sensing the sadness on her face, the smile on Bei Xingchen’s face disappeared.
“What’s wrong?”
Zuo Weiyi raised her head and looked at her with a smile. “Too many things have happened recently. He and I…are getting a divorce.”
Hearing this, Bei Xingchen’s eyes widened completely!
“Di-Divorce?!” This time, Bei Xingchen couldn’t hold it in anymore. She shouted out loud and even jumped up from her seat!
Zuo Weiyi was frightened by her action and quickly pulled her to sit down.
“Do you have to be so loud…?”
Bei Xingchen sat down again with a melancholic look on her face. “Darling, you don’t have a fever, do you? You want to divorce Shi Yuting? He’s the president of an entire country now!”
Why did she not want the position of First Lady? Was she insane?
Zuo Weiyi only sighed at her best friend’s shocked expression before lowering her eyes. “A lot of things happened…”
“What kind of things? Could it be that he has another woman?” Bei Xingchen leaned forward and asked softly.
Zuo Weiyi raised her head and was a little shocked by her words. Shi Yuting’s explanation yesterday suddenly rang in her mind.
A moment later, she lowered her head. “No.”
“Then, did he abuse you?”
Zuo Weiyi raised her head at her best friend’s words. “How is that possible?!”
Although a man like Shi Yuting was ruthless in the eyes of others, he would never do such a shameless act of abusing her.
“Does that mean that he doesn’t love you anymore?”
Zuo Weiyi looked down again. She hesitated a little when she thought of the recent events. But in the end, she still said, “Not really.”
So, Bei Xingchen had no choice but to say, “He didn’t cheat on you; he didn’t abuse you; and he doesn’t not love you anymore. So why would you want to get a divorce? My dear, have you gone crazy?”
Seeing her best friend’s confused look, Zuo Weiyi fell silent and told her roughly what had happened during this period of time.
Bei Xingchen could not help but widen her eyes again. “You’re saying that because of your one mistake, your mother-in-law is now lying in the hospital in a vegetative state?”
Zuo Weiyi was not surprised by her best friend’s reaction.
She looked down and nodded.
“And just because of this, Shi Yuting wants to divorce you?”
“No, not him…I’m the one who proposed it.”
Bei Xingchen was puzzled when she heard this.
“Why would you bring it up when he didn’t even mention it?”
Zuo Weiyi did not answer as she looked at her best friend.
When she proposed the divorce, it was mainly because she had misunderstood that he was with another woman. Plus, she was in so much stress and pain. Even though she now knew the truth, it didn’t change the fact that she was suffering when she spoke of the divorce.
“My dear, you’re pregnant now. You’re pregnant! What, do you really want to live alone with your baby like those romance novels?”
Zuo Weiyi looked up at her suspiciously. “Have you read such novels?”
“Of course. Although it’s very nice, it’s only a novel. It’s an illusion! I don’t want you to learn from the novels!” After saying that, Bei Xingchen picked up the cappuccino on the table and took a sip.
Zuo Weiyi took a sip of her lemonade as well. Her gaze inadvertently turned to look outside the glass window.
After knowing the truth, her heart was actually in a mess.
Was she really going to get a divorce?
She looked around at the street scene outside the glass window, feeling a little lost.
