Chapter 9: This Time, Don’t Break the Promise Again

Su Qianxue could not comprehend how a man who spent his days revolving around the stove, his daughter, and her could possess such keen insight.

He had quietly become the second-largest shareholder of the Su Group, second only to her.

She had forgotten that before their marriage, this man had been hailed by many as a prodigy of unparalleled wisdom, one who could perceive the unseen and foresee the future.

“Daddy is bullying Mommy; Daddy is a bad person!”

Huanhuan ran in like a gust of wind, pushing herself up with her small hands.

She bumped her head hard against Chen Xing’s thigh.

Her little cheeks puffed up like a ball:

“Daddy, can’t you be more sensible? Mommy works so hard, and you do nothing but want to take her money. That’s not right.”

“Daddy is bad. I don’t want you to be my daddy.”

“Get out of my home!”

The eldest daughter’s innocent voice struck Chen Xing’s heart like a hammer.

He felt as if his breath was burning.

But he said nothing, quietly picking up Huanhuan.

He reached out to touch the daughter he once adored deeply.

“Daddy isn’t bullying Mommy. Daddy just wants to take what belongs to him.”

“Xing, although you own fifteen percent of Su Group’s shares, secretly investing behind Qianxue’s back— as husband and wife, hiding personal assets— that’s wrong!”

At that moment, Liang Zhixin stood behind Su Qianxue, shamelessly wrapping an arm around her waist.

Su Qianxue merely furrowed her brows lightly but did not pull away.

“And even though the shares are under your name personally, since they were bought after marriage, they are marital property, not something you can just take away. Isn’t that right, Qianxue?”

Su Qianxue said nothing but raised her chin and arched her eyebrows, signaling her agreement with Liang Zhixin’s words.

“Chen Xing, with so many shares and so much money, do you really think you can handle it all yourself?”

Chen Xing’s gaze swept over the three people before him.

Now, they looked more like a real family.

So harmonious!

“Su Qianxue…”

For the first time, Chen Xing called her by her given name.

“These fifteen percent of shares belong to me. Whether I can manage them or not is none of your concern.”

“Besides, I want these fifteen percent shares to ensure a future for Yaya.”

Indeed, Chen Xing had never intended to spend this money.

These fifteen percent shares were his legacy to Yaya.

He wanted to raise his daughter in luxury.

He refused to let anyone say that after following him, Yaya had fallen from a wealthy heiress to a destitute phoenix.

Su Qianxue’s face was icy cold, her eyes full of disdain. “Sounds very convincing, but do you think I would believe you? You secretly invested in my company’s stock behind my back. If I investigate thoroughly, it will look like you used insider information to maliciously manipulate Su Group’s stock.”

“You won’t take a single cent of those fifteen percent shares.”

“Exactly, not a single cent.”

Huanhuan crossed her small arms over her chest and pouted.

After saying this, Su Qianxue lifted her face again, her brows rising, exuding a cold confidence as if she had everything under control. “Chen Xing, stop throwing tantrums.”

“I don’t want to and don’t have time to deal with your nonsense.”

“If you’re in a bad mood, you can take a break. Use my supplementary card and go travel for a few days. Come back when you’re feeling better.”

Su Qianxue felt she had given Chen Xing enough leeway.

If he were sensible, he would back down now.

“Su Qianxue, I’m sorry, but I don’t love you anymore!”

Chen Xing shook his head lightly.

He had loved this woman for five years and had given up everything for her.

He had centered his life around her, the child, and the family.

But the result…

Was his wife’s first love returning to the country, treating him like dirt.

He had had enough.

“Su Qianxue, let’s get a divorce.”

“You…”

Su Qianxue’s breathing grew heavy. Her once pale skin flushed a deep red.

“Chen Xing, do you really think I’m too attached to need you in my life?”

“If you insist on going down this path, then I will grant you your wish!”

“Just don’t regret it.”

Swish, swish, swish…

Grabbing a pen, Su Qianxue angrily signed the divorce papers.

Bang!

She then threw the pen forcefully at Chen Xing’s feet, shattering it completely.

“Chen Xing, I hope you won’t regret it.”

“I want to see how you’ll live after leaving me!”

Liang Zhixin watched the divorce papers with wide eyes, secretly pleased but outwardly sneering, “Hey, Xing, I’m not saying this to offend you, but you’re being utterly unreasonable.”

“A man like you marrying Qianxue is a blessing earned in a past life.”

“If it were me, just being with Qianxue would make me laugh awake every night.”

Chen Xing looked up at Liang Zhixin.

“As you wish, I wish you both happiness.”

He had no desire to waste words on this petty man.

Squatting down, he took Huanhuan’s small hand. “Huanhuan, Daddy is leaving. If one day you miss Daddy, tell Yaya, and Daddy will come to see you.”

“Don’t give me that fake, crocodile tears!”

Su Qianxue hugged Huanhuan tightly, her face cold as she shouted, “Huanhuan is my daughter. You don’t need to pretend to be a good person here. Without you, I will make sure my daughter lives a happier life.”

“She will never remember you!”

“And Yaya, if you miss Mommy, you can always come home.”

“Yes, I won’t miss Daddy. I have Daddy Liang, and that’s enough,” Huanhuan pouted in agreement.

“Daddy…”

At that moment, Yaya’s voice rang out. Her small face was already streaked with tears. “Daddy, let’s go. Let’s leave. I don’t want to see them bully you anymore!”

“Mommy!”

At that moment, the young face was full of resolve: “Mommy, Daddy will take good care of me. Mommy, you have stomach problems. If Daddy’s not here, remember to take your medicine…”

“You’re always lazy in bed and need Daddy to squeeze your toothpaste in the morning. Without Daddy, you have to learn to do it yourself.”

“Also, Daddy says you can’t eat cold food, so try to eat less of it.”

After saying this, Yaya took Chen Xing’s hand. “Daddy, let’s go.”

“Mm.”

Yaya’s maturity broke Chen Xing’s heart; he nodded gently, holding her tiny body tightly.

Stepping out of the Su family’s gate and standing at the door, Chen Xing said without looking back, “We’ll meet at the civil affairs bureau next week.”

“This time, don’t break your promise again.”
