Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 118: Knowing the Truth (1)

"Chairman Ji, Miss Mi is already on her way to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Ji Dongquan’s narrow eyes flashed with a calculating gleam. He said into the phone, "Mm, when she gets to the hospital, let that woman in."

After tersely explaining, Ji Dongquan hung up the phone. Seeing his sinister expression, He Zerui raised an eyebrow, appearing to understand something with a knowing look.

Because he was concerned about Xuanxuan’s feelings, Ji Dongquan couldn’t simply get rid of Song Guotao. However, this didn’t mean he could allow Song Guotao to continually use Xuanxuan and endlessly tangle with Mi Wan...

Along the way, Mi Wan’s driving was slower than usual. A twenty-minute drive took her over half an hour. When she arrived at the hospital, she held Xuanxuan’s small hand and walked into the hospital’s first-floor lobby. Her gaze swept around casually, and she saw a somewhat familiar figure. Before she could see the person’s face clearly, the figure had already disappeared into the elevator.

Compared to Xuanxuan’s worries, Mi Wan appeared rather relaxed, unlike her usual efficient self. Her expression and demeanor revealed a hint of nonchalance.

Ding—

The elevator doors opened. Mi Wan carried Xuanxuan out of the elevator, and the figure she had just seen reappeared in her view around a corner.

The long corridor wasn’t crowded. Although she still hadn’t seen the person’s face, from the figure and hairstyle, Mi Wan was almost certain it was Chen Wenyu.

Mi Wan didn’t know about Chen Wenyu being taken by Black Dragon, but she had heard Song Guotao mention that he had broken up with her. However, seeing her here now, Mi Wan wasn’t surprised at all.

First of all, she had never believed what Song Guotao said. Secondly, Song Guotao was up to no good, probably scheming something again!

"Mom, that’s Auntie Yu."

Not only had Mi Wan seen the Chen Wenyu walking ahead, Xuanxuan had seen her too. After hearing this, Mi Wan paused for a second, then stopped, squatted down, and asked Xuanxuan, "Xuanxuan, do you know her?"

"Of course! Mom doesn’t know? Auntie Yu is Daddy’s colleague."

Hearing Xuanxuan say this, Mi Wan realized that she was the only one kept in the dark. She didn’t know if she was too oblivious or had trusted Song Guotao too much, or if she had become so numb to the marriage that nothing could spark her curiosity anymore. In any case, before Song Guotao confessed to her, she had considered all of his peculiar behavior as normal. After all, soon after getting married, she noticed Song Guotao’s odd behavior. Although he remained considerate, there was a subtle indifference compared to his former deep affection. Initially, she thought he had fallen for someone else, but after observing, she found he hadn’t. Therefore, Mi Wan naturally concluded that his unusual behavior was due to his fading feelings for her, which she found normal.

After being together for a long time, it was impossible to maintain the passion of a romance indefinitely. Besides, she always believed that in their relationship, Song Guotao had put in much more effort than she had, and her "repayment" was pitifully little.

To love someone, mere gratitude wasn’t enough; she knew very well that the person she loved the most was always Ji Dongquan. She was more grateful than fond of Song Guotao, so she felt she owed him. As a result, in their marriage, her demands on him lessened, while her tolerance and understanding of him increased...

Upon thinking this, she realized that choosing to be with him was a mistake, leading to their current situation.

Mi Wan moved her stiff face, managing a bitter smile, and said, "Mom only met Auntie Yu recently. When did Xuanxuan meet her? Why hasn’t Xuanxuan mentioned her before?"

"I met her when Daddy took me to the amusement park. Auntie Yu, like me, loves going to the amusement park!" As she spoke, the smile on Xuanxuan’s face gradually faded. She furrowed her little brows and said softly, "Mom, I’m sorry. It’s not that Xuanxuan doesn’t want to share these things with you. It’s just that Daddy said, if you found out we were playing with other girls, you’d be upset. So, I never dared to tell you about Auntie Yu."

Ha, so this was how Song Guotao deceived Xuanxuan!

Thinking of this, Mi Wan sneered coldly to herself. Seeing Xuanxuan’s conflicted expression, she asked again, "Since you knew Mom would be upset, why did you still go out with that auntie?"

"Because I didn’t know Mom would be upset at the time," Xuanxuan said, pouting. Then she threw herself into Mi Wan’s arms, hugging her neck to make up, and continued, "Mom, are you mad? I only went to the amusement park with Auntie Yu once. After realizing it would make you upset, I never played with her again. Also, Daddy promised me he wouldn’t take Auntie Yu out again." ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Oh, that’s what happened!" Mi Wan lovingly patted Xuanxuan’s little head. She hesitated, originally not intending to discuss her and Song Guotao’s issues with Xuanxuan, but now was the perfect time for her to understand the truth. It would be hard to find a suitable opportunity later.

So, after a brief pause, Mi Wan said, "Xuanxuan is so good. So young, and already thinking about Mom’s feelings. Unfortunately, Daddy isn’t as understanding as you. Knowing Mom would be upset, he still wanted to be with Auntie Yu."

Daddy was with Auntie Yu?

Hearing Mi Wan’s words, Xuanxuan was stunned, her little heart seemed to take a massive blow. Her once innocent eyes dimmed instantly.

At the age of five, it made sense she understood very little. But at kindergarten, besides learning basic knowledge, Xuanxuan often heard about her peers’ experiences.

As the saying goes, gossip is everywhere!

Even though they were pure-hearted children, gossip had no age limits. As long as there was communication, it could spread quickly with zero difficulty, zero risk, and everywhere.

Among the myriad pieces of gossip were many about parents’ relationships. Because the children were young and their social circles narrow, they were either in kindergarten or with their families. Their dependence on their families was much stronger than adults’, so family harmony directly impacted their emotions. Any parental arguments or silent treatments could make them uneasy.

But how many couples in the world never fight? Moreover, with today’s high divorce rates, parental separation was already common. Words like "divorce," "affair," "infidelity," and "mistress," hard to grasp for children, became more understandable through hearing or personal experience. So, when Mi Wan had said she couldn’t be with Song Guotao anymore, Xuanxuan knew her parents were getting divorced.
