Chapter 202: Chapter 202: I Knew You Didn’t Really Want to Divorce Ah Dang

Old Madam’s face was grim, "I’m not insane. I’m just matchmaking Ah Dang and Ah Wan. He and Qiao Xi have been divorced for a long time; is there something wrong with matchmaking them?"

Old Master Shen’s eyes sharply narrowed; he looked at Qiao Xi incredulously. "Divorced... You two are divorced?"

Qiao Xi knew she could not keep it a secret any longer.

Qiao Xi looked up at Old Master Shen, her eyes slightly moist: "Grandpa, I’m sorry, I should have told you this earlier."

Old Master Shen’s body swayed, seemingly unable to withstand the shock.

Qiao Xi quickly supported him, "Grandpa, please calm down first."

Old Madam coldly watched the scene below from upstairs, "Old man, you favored Qiao Xi because of that woman, but they had secretly divorced behind your back. You never got that woman in your life, and your grandson won’t get that woman’s granddaughter either. I’m doing all this for Ah Dang’s sake!"

Old Master Shen suddenly clutched his chest, gasping for breath.

"Shut your mouth!"

Qiao Xi yelled, hastily comforting Old Master Shen, "Grandpa, it’s not like that. Shen Dang and I got divorced, but I’m currently dating him. We planned to remarry and then tell you."

In her urgency, Qiao Xi couldn’t think too much.

Old Master Shen tightly grabbed Qiao Xi’s hand, "Xixi—"

He wanted to explain to Qiao Xi that he was not doing everything solely for her grandmother, but he couldn’t speak at that moment.

Old Master Shen questioned if he really had made a mistake.

"Qiao Xi, I just knew you didn’t really want to divorce Ah Dang!"

Old Madam angrily pointed at her, her eyes almost murderous.

Qiao Xi didn’t retort.

Old Madam suddenly burst into laughter, "But what does that matter? Whatever was supposed to happen between Ah Dang and Ah Wan has already happened."

She didn’t believe Qiao Xi could still cling to Shen Dang after that.

Shen Dang emerged from the room, his whole body emanating a dark atmosphere, "You miscalculated; nothing happened between me and Chu Wan."

Old Madam staggered, utterly disbelieving, "Impossible!"

Shen Dang ignored Old Madam and staggered down the stairs.

"Xixi."

Qiao Xi looked at him, her phoenix eyes cold and sharp, yet her gaze was hollow.

Shen Dang wanted to touch her but didn’t dare to, carefully looking at her, "You believe me, right? Nothing really happened between me and Chu Wan!"

Qiao Xi’s eyes were burned by the lipstick mark on his collar; she turned away, "Stop talking, just go to the hospital."

Shen Dang froze, his eyes bewildered, "Aren’t you coming with me?"

"Let’s go then."

Qiao Xi didn’t want to stay here either. She found the place dirty, and everything that happened today was utterly bewildering.

Qiao Xi’s voice was faint, "Grandpa, I’ll take Shen Dang to the hospital first, then I’ll come back to explain everything properly to you."

Old Master Shen didn’t look at her, nor did he utter a word.

Qiao Xi left the Shen Family Mansion with Shen Dang.

Old Master Shen sternly instructed the butler, "Send Old Madam to the villa in the back, and dismiss her nurse from the Shen Family!"

Old Madam couldn’t stand the outcome and started to lose her mind again.

"And what about Chu Wan?" Old Master Shen asked coldly.

"Miss Chu is still in Old Madam’s room."

"Send her back to the Chu Family, let the Chu Family see the good deeds she’s done!"

...

In the car.

Qiao Xi gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if suppressing something.

She usually drove steadily, but now she sped the car up to its maximum.

Shen Dang sat in the back seat, his clothes disheveled, exuding a beaten and dejected air, no better than the last time he had come out of the Qiao Family house.

"Xixi..."

Qiao Xi looked straight ahead, her voice cold, "Stop talking, just endure a bit longer, I’m taking you to the hospital."

"Do you believe me?"

Qiao Xi remained silent.

Shen Dang rested his hand on his forehead, his gaze unblinkingly fixed on Qiao Xi’s back.

It felt like countless ants were crawling inside his body, making him unbearably uncomfortable.

Yet his mind was exceptionally clear.

Though Qiao Xi was right in front of him, he suddenly felt like the person in front of him was very far away.

The pleasant atmosphere they had built before seemed to have shattered like bubbles, leaving not even a trace behind.

From the moment things had escalated, Shen Dang had been very uneasy.

"Xixi."

Shen Dang called her again.

Qiao Xi’s face wore an extremely unattractive look.

Even if she kept telling herself that nothing happened between Shen Dang and Chu Wan, her reason had broken down.

It’s not that she could always be rational; Qiao Xi was currently extremely confused, her lips pressed straight.

Thinking about the unpredictable consequences, Qiao Xi felt cold all over.

She did care.

Even if he genuinely had done nothing with Chu Wan, her thoughts on their relationship had always been very simple.

Since the initial marriage was a mistake, then end it. If he pursued her, she also agreed from the heart.

But human nature unexpectedly frightened her.

This entire situation and its backlash made Qiao Xi want to retreat.

The car cabin fell silent.

Shen Dang leaned back in his seat, looking like he had exhausted all his energy in the room.

Only his hands, resting on his lap, couldn’t stop trembling.

"I..." Shen Dang spoke, sounding strained, "I really didn’t do anything with her, can you please believe me?"

Shen Dang didn’t want their thawing relationship to freeze over again because of this incident.

He had planned to confess to her properly when they went abroad together.

Pursue her, confess to her, date her, propose to her after enough dating, and finally get married.

To start from scratch, step by step, like any other ordinary person.

This was what she wanted. She lacked security, and he would give her that security.

But now, he didn’t know if that could still happen.

Shen Dang’s voice was hoarse, "She tried to touch me, and I pushed her away. I felt she was dirty."

His voice was also dry, as if he hadn’t drunk water in days, quite different from his usual somewhat frivolous tone, and it didn’t sound good, like it had been dragged through gravel.

He said, "It’s just... my clothes touched her. If you think I’m dirty, I’ll wash up. Xixi, can you please say something?"

At least scold him, that would be something.

But Qiao Xi didn’t. She wasn’t angry, nor did she scold him. She only said, "Doesn’t saying so much make you feel worse?"

Shen Dang licked his very parched lips, his face pale, "Not talking feels even worse, Xixi, I’m in pain, please talk with me."

He struggled to suppress the indescribable sensations rising in his body, biting his tongue occasionally to keep himself alert.

His mouth tasted of iron.

Qiao Xi’s eyes flickered slightly; her voice, cold and calm, "... just hold on a bit longer, we’re almost at the hospital."

Qiao Xi took Shen Dang to the hospital.

Qiao Xi had already called Assistant Gao; he was waiting outside the hospital building when they arrived.

Qiao Xi lingered behind, her gaze following Shen Dang’s back, her voice quiet, "I won’t be going up."
