Chapter 99: Chapter 87: My Wife Wants Me to Pick Up Girls?_3

But the woman’s last statement wasn’t a guess.

Jiang Shouzhong did indeed feel apologetic toward the woman.

It was too cruel to destroy someone else’s happiness when he didn’t love them.

Ran Qingchen said all this in one breath, seeming to unload some burdens from her heart, her gaze fixed on the husband before her,

"So, if there is a woman you like, feel free to love her, without worrying about me. If you decide to be with her, you can give me a divorce letter. I, Ran Qingchen, am not afraid of others’ gossip and ridicule. Life is too short as it is, why should I care about what others think?"

Jiang Mo, I have never looked down on you, I’m just very disappointed. Being weak isn’t your fault, everyone has their own way of living, and we were from two different worlds to begin with. If not for your appearance, I would never have married in this life, because I have my own pursuits."

You live uncomfortably because of a promise to your parents. I live uncomfortably because of my grandmother’s request.

The two of us are destined to part ways one day.

I’m sorry I can’t fulfill the duties of a wife, neither now nor in the future. But as long as you remain my husband, Ran Qingchen, I will protect you and safeguard you.

You may consider it compensation, but not charity or pity.

I understand that you are a man with strong self-respect, so I also respect your choices. If you don’t want me to interfere, I won’t. The condition is that I don’t see it; if I do, as on that night, I will not hesitate to protect you.

I, Ran Qingchen, care a lot about my reputation, and if you are bullied, it’s as if someone has slapped me in the face, you understand?"

Faced with the woman’s candid words, Jiang Shouzhong also decided to open up about his own feelings and thoughts,

"Miss Ran, I’m indeed very sorry for ruining your happiness. You have your own pursuits, pursue them freely, without considering me. If one day we must part, just give me a divorce letter, that’s fine. I have thick skin and don’t mind," he thought to himself.

I’ve already received one divorce letter, one more makes no difference.

The atmosphere inside the carriage suddenly became much lighter.

This couple, who were like strangers, found their first open and truthful conversation greatly lessened the awkwardness between them.

Ran Qingchen smiled and with her pinkie hooked the soft hair at her temple back behind her ear, jokingly saying, "I’ll say this upfront, if one day you happen to fall for me, I won’t go easy on you. The pain will be yours alone."

Jiang Shouzhong immediately replied, "Don’t worry about that. I have no thoughts about you."

Seeing the woman staring straight at him as the smile on his face faded a little, Jiang Shouzhong, thinking she didn’t believe him, raised his hand and swore, "I promise, I really have no thoughts about you, and I never will covet you or be interested in you in this lifetime."

"Hmm, that’s good then."

Ran Qingchen nodded, her cheeks regaining their previous indifference.

The originally comfortable atmosphere seemed to grow tense again.

Jinxiu looked at the pair with worry, wanting to say something to persuade them but feeling helpless, picked up a teacup and offered it to Jiang Shouzhong, "Son-in-law, have some tea first."

"He’s not thirsty, thank you."

Ran Qingchen took the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Jiang Shouzhong, "I’m going back to Ran Residence, are you coming with me?"

This was a clear dismissal.

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, "No, I have other matters."

"No need to see me out."

The woman uttered lightly.

Stepping off the carriage, Jiang Shouzhong watched as the master and servant figures moved away, scratching his head in confusion, "Why does it seem like she’s angry again? She must be sick."
