Chapter 99: Chapter 87: How Can I Calm Down?

Of course, Xu Ying knew what had happened between Miduo and Qi Sheng.

But she was the type to stand by her friends, right or wrong.

"Li Chengqian, I don’t want a single cent of our assets."

"If you really want me to sleep with another man, I can go find one right now."

Miduo’s mindset had become incredibly nonchalant.

After all, Li Chengqian’s assets only amounted to a large three-bedroom apartment worth around 3 million.

Plus a BMW X5 and a few hundred thousand in savings.

After watching Qi Sheng buy a 5.5 million Ferrari today...

Miduo suddenly realized that Li Chengqian’s aura of success crumbled to dust before Qi Sheng.

The 5.5 million Ferrari alone was worth more than everything Li Chengqian had struggled to accumulate over the years.

Even if she divorced Li Chengqian, her position as a store manager brought in over 30,000 a month. Supporting herself would be no problem.

’Besides, how could the man responsible for her divorce not take care of her?’

’She couldn’t hope for the same treatment Tan Hua received, but surely she wouldn’t be treated worse than Xu Ying.’

At that moment, Miduo even felt grateful that she and Li Chengqian had no children.

A divorce would mean a clean break.

No child to tie them together.

It wasn’t as if Li Chengqian had never brought up having children.

For the first two years, they were both busy with their careers, and Miduo had adamantly refused.

In the following three years, Li Chengqian’s career began to take off, and he was barely ever home.

Every time he did come home, he smelled of another woman’s perfume, and they ended up sleeping in separate rooms.

Miduo couldn’t even remember the last time they had been intimate.

"Yingying, could you watch the store for me? I’m not feeling well today, so I won’t be coming in."

Miduo had lost the desire to continue wrangling with Li Chengqian.

Everything that needed to be said had been said.

All that was left was to wait for the lawyer to draft the divorce papers and for him to sign them.

Seeing Miduo leave, Li Chengqian stubbornly followed her.

But he was afraid she would call the police, so he trailed her, keeping a careful distance.

Completely fed up, Miduo called Qi Sheng.

’Since he’s the one who turned my life into a complete mess, I can’t let him off the hook so easily.’

"Are you free? Come and pick me up."

"Miss me already?"

"I’m not kidding. My soon-to-be ex-husband is following me. If you’re not worried, then don’t bother coming."

"Soon-to-be ex?"

"Yeah. We just talked about divorce a moment ago."

"I’ll be right over. I should get to enjoy the thrill of being with a married woman a few more times before it’s final."

"Oh, shut up."

Miduo blushed, cursing him under her breath before hanging up with a happy smile.

From Qi Sheng’s reaction, it was clear he still had designs on her.

Anyway, she was getting a divorce and wanted none of the assets.

Even if Li Chengqian saw them together, what could he do?

Her current advantage was that she had nothing to lose.

...

The second-floor parking lot of the International Gold Center connected to Chengdu’s most famous Internet Celebrity Slope.

All sorts of luxury cars often came here to rev their engines and show off, attracting street style photographers and passersby who would stop to take pictures.

A Nardo Gray RS6 let out a thunderous roar as it headed straight for the Internet Celebrity Slope.

"Holy shit! The baddest wagon on the planet! My dream car!"

"The owner’s loaded. Those brake calipers alone have to be worth over a hundred grand, right?"

"Finally, a luxury car without some leggy model in the passenger seat. I was getting so salty seeing all the others."

"How do you know he isn’t on his way to pick up some leggy model? A guy with a car like this beds women you and I can only dream about every night."

"Damn, that one hit home. I’m only 30! Don’t look down on a man for being broke in his middle age!"

...

Qi Sheng drove the car to the second-floor parking lot of the International Gold Center.

A diligent security guard trotted over and directed him into an empty parking spot.

As he got out of the car, a few young women saw him, their eyes instantly lighting up.

A handsome guy with an 85-point rating—college campus-prince level.

His superior height of 185cm perfectly fit the girls’ fantasy of their ideal man.

Dressed head-to-toe in designer brands—if it wasn’t LV, it was Gucci.

They didn’t usually get to meet someone so tall, rich, and handsome.

"Hey handsome, can I get your WeChat? I can do the splits."

"Handsome, add me and you can see me in black stockings. We should go for drinks sometime. I’m a lightweight, I pass out after just one drink."

Qi Sheng merely glanced at them before waving off their advances.

’A special score below 90, I could overlook that.’

’But the system scan showed they both had some kind of gynecological infection.’

’Damn, are these two pros or something?’

"Weren’t you headed to the store? Did your dear ex-husband come looking for you?"

Qi Sheng spotted Miduo standing at the mall entrance and walked up to her with a smile.

"I just finished talking with my soon-to-be ex. He’s getting all the assets. I’m leaving with nothing, so now I’m basically homeless."

There wasn’t a hint of sadness in Miduo’s voice. Instead, it was filled with relief and cheer.

"Congratulations on escaping the prison of marriage. Out with the old, in with the new."

"If you don’t mind, I’ll take care of you for the next ten years."

Qi Sheng did feel a pang of guilt. He hadn’t expected to actually destroy Miduo’s marriage.

"It’s not your fault. I’ll tell you about the problems between me and my ex sometime."

"But just for ten years? Isn’t that a little unfair?"

"By then I’ll be forty, how will I find a man then?"

Miduo’s tone was teasingly reproachful, clearly more concerned about this part of the deal.

Qi Sheng smiled and shrugged. "That’s easy. Once you have a child for me, we’ll make the contract permanent. How about that?"

"That’s more like it."

Miduo smiled in satisfaction, linking her arm through Qi Sheng’s.

A long-forgotten sweetness filled her heart.

"Then how about you call me ’Hubby’ first, let’s hear it."

Qi Sheng spotted a furtive figure in the distance.

"Hubby."

Miduo called out with natural grace, making her stance on Qi Sheng clear.

’From this day forward, Qi Sheng would be her only man.’

"Good girl. I’ll take you on a shopping spree later. Buy whatever you want. We’ll call it a celebration for your escape from misery."

Looking at the charming young woman in his arms, Qi Sheng no longer held back.

He wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled her in for a deep kiss.

’Ahem, doing this right in front of her husband... what a rush!’

Watching from a distance, Li Chengqian was completely stunned.

His beautiful wife was being passionately kissed by a tall, handsome man, and she was responding with even more enthusiasm.

"Fuck!"

Li Chengqian finally snapped.

Uncontrollable rage instantly clouded his judgment.

Despite his scrawny build, he wanted to rush forward and fight Qi Sheng for real.

"Sir, please calm down."

Before he could take more than a few steps, a cool-faced, well-built man blocked his path.

"Who are you?"

Li Chengqian was already seeing red. He glared at the man.

"Our boss is busy. I hope you can calm down."

The bodyguard in the black suit spoke in a deadpan tone, saying the very words that would infuriate Li Chengqian the most.

"Holy shit! Your boss is over there making out with my wife, and you’re telling me to calm down? Calm down my ass!"

Li Chengqian tried to get around the bodyguard.

But the man stood his ground, not giving him an inch of room to pass.

"I’m warning you, don’t force me to get physical."

Li Chengqian blustered, trying to intimidate the bodyguard, only to see a flicker of contempt in the man’s eyes.

Seeing Miduo still lost in a passionate kiss in the distance...

Li Chengqian’s rage boiled over, and he kicked out at the bodyguard.

"Hey, you kicked me first!"

Li Chengqian saw a flash of excitement in the man’s eyes, and then his world turned upside down.

He was thrown to the ground with a shoulder toss, followed by a barrage of punches and kicks that made him cry out in agony.

"So, buddy, you want some more?"

Looking at the man’s burly frame and nimble moves, Li Chengqian knew better than to ask for more punishment.

"Fine, you win. This isn’t over."

"Hey, save the tough talk. Our boss is busy and doesn’t have time for you."

"Oh, right. Here’s our boss’s private lawyer’s number. Feel free to sue us anytime."

Gu Feng was a little disappointed to see Li Chengqian back down so quickly.

As he had just started working for his boss, he was itching for the guy to keep fighting...

...so he could teach him a proper lesson on his boss’s behalf.

In a situation like this, even if someone called the police, it would be ruled a mutual altercation. He had nothing to lose.

On the way over, Qi Sheng had given him a lawyer’s business card.

After he was done with Li Chengqian, if the guy still wouldn’t let it go, the lawyer would be ready to take over.

Both the lawyer and the bodyguard, Gu Feng...

...were talents Qi Sheng had acquired from the system using a Talent Recruitment Card.

In addition to their outstanding abilities, they were both unshakably loyal to Qi Sheng.

This kind of childish scuffle was nothing.

If Qi Sheng ever truly needed it, he wouldn’t mind a cameo as a dump truck driver.
