Looking at her husband getting slightly drunk tonight, Xiaomei thought he would appreciate her. She thought he would have something to say to her after their separation all these days. But he chose to fall asleep in Wan Qing's arms. Despite her best efforts to see Wan Qing as a sister, Xiaomei couldn't help but feel hurt. Her eyes reddened at the thought of her husband loving Wan Qing. It felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart.
After witnessing Chen Qian's liaison with Wan Qing, he thought about Xiaomei and felt annoyed. What excuse could he use to divorce her? Would childlessness be the best justification? Even though that might work, it could make him look heartless. After all, a child born to a concubine could be considered hers. This wasn't a good enough reason. His normally furrowed brows became more pronounced. He needed to resolve this issue with Xiaomei as soon as possible, or the consequences would be grave.
