Mo Xigu was shocked by Su Xiqin's determination, as there was no way to change her mind. However, he knew she had a weak spot, and his eyes grew cold when he looked at her.
"Aren't you afraid that people will say Mo Jintian is the b*stard of some unknown man?"
Su Xiqin looked at Mo Xigu with dead eyes. She knew that he was threatening her, but she was no longer afraid of anything..
"No one would call him that other than you," Su Xiqin replied sharply.
Hearing the sharp accusation, Mo Xigu realized that he no longer had anything to hold against Su Xiqin to make her stay with him.
Suddenly, his heart raced and he felt an anxiety and panic that he never felt before.
He never thought Su Xiqin would be so determined to divorce him. Moreover, as long as she appealed, the divorce would be finalized.
And yet, he never thought about divorcing her.
He looked at her with a firm look for a long time and said, "Su Xiqin, no matter what, I won't get a divorce with you."
"Having a divorce or not isn't something that you can decide on your own," Su Xiqin scoffed.
Mo Xigu was surprised by this Su Xiqin before him.
She used to forbear, but now, she finally rebelled against him. He foolishly thought that he had her by her weak point and never expected that weak point to be useless against her one day.
Mo Jintian got Bai Yansen's phone number and mumbled it multiple times, as he was afraid of forgetting it while he was running towards Tang Xi. However, the boy's memory was very strong. After saying it a few times, he had memorized the phone number to heart.
Tang Xi was shocked when she turned open the door knob. Mo Jintian, who was following Tang Xi, looked up and saw Mo Xigu. He frowned and ran past Tang Xi to enter the ward first.
"Oh my, so what wind is blowing to bring us such an important guest here?" Tang Xi said in a mocking tone.
Mo Xigu didn't respond to Tang Xi's mockery but rather looked over at Mo Jintian, who was walking in. Mo Jintian undeniably looked very similar to Su Xiqin. His snow white skin and big round eyes looked like they were carved out from Su Xiqin's mold. The way he looked up at people looked exactly like a mini Su Xiqin. The more Mo Xigu looked at this boy, the more he felt like something was gripping him, and it hurt a lot.
This boy who looked like Su Xiqin called him dad but wasn't his son. How ironic.
Mo Xigu's hands were by his sides, and he unconsciously tightened them into tight fists, so tight that the veins on the back of his hands were showing like poisonous snakes biting him, with the poison flowing through his body into his heart.
The little boy seemed to have sensed Mo Xigu's stare, so he looked back at Mo Xigu but still walked towards Su Xiqin. When he made his way to her, he looked up and spoke in his childish tone.
"Susu, are you going home today?"
"Yeah. Mommy's coming home today." Su Xiqin had packed up most of her stuff. Tang Xi walked over and carried some stuff for Su Xiqin.
Mo Xigu tried to make his gaze more pleasant and said, "Tang Xi, thank you for taking care of my wife and kid."
Tang Xi was about to turn around. But when she heard Mo Xigu, she stopped turning and covered her mouth while laughing, "Oh my, oh my. Did I just hear what I thought I heard! You know that Su Xiqin is your wife? That's such absurd news!"
"Xixi, that's enough. Can you take these things to the car?" Su Xiqin said out loud to stop Tang Xi from talking.
She didn't want her child to be traumatized by this situation, even if it was just subtle words.
Tang Xi understood what Su Xiqin meant, so she glared at Mo Xigu and said, "Let's go together. I'm afraid that if I leave you here, you won't even be able to leave the hospital."
Mo Jintian looked at Mo Xigu. Since he normally wouldn't see Mo Xigu and now that he was here, Mo Jintian would naturally want to look at him a bit longer.
"Can you take Jintian out first and wait for me? I want to have a quick chat with him, so I'll be out in a bit."
Tang Xi understood Su Xiqin, so she held onto Little Milk Bun's hand with one hand and the luggage with the other. She said, "Little Milk Bun, come outside with auntie."
Mo Jintian stopped looking at Mo Xigu, turned to Su Xiqin, said, "I'll wait for you outside."
Su Xiqin caressed Mo Jintian's little head, only then did he walk away. Su Xiqin started talking when it was only her and Mo Xigu left in the room.
"Mo Xigu, I have thought through my decision carefully."
"Su Xiqin, I'm not pulling words out my *ss either. There is no way you will get that divorce. You don't need to come home. First recover your health, and then go back to work, but no matter what, you won't get that divorce," Mo Xigu said and walked out the door, passing her aggressively.
Su Xiqin watched Mo Xigu disappear and blanked out for a long while.
——————
After Su Xiqin was discharged from the hospital, she stayed at home to recover. On Monday, the second day after she was discharged from the hospital, she got a call from Ji Qingyang. Ji Qingyang didn't know that she was wounded, so he directly said, "Ms. Su, when can you come to our head office? There are still things that need to be perfected for this project."
"Director Ji, I got into a small accident on Saturday, so I'm not at work today. I'm at home right now. If you want, we can talk about the areas that we need to work on for the design, and I can work from home. When I'm done, I can send it to you."
"You are injured?"
"Yeah, but I'm fine. I just hit my head a bit."
"You should rest up, but you can also make the changes at home. I'll tell you what to fix first."
"Director Ji, I understand what you mean, and I will try to make the design better based on your comments. However, the overall concept cannot be changed because the design concept is perfect. I'm worried that if we keep modifying the design, its original meaning would be lost."
"Okay. Goodbye."
Tang Xi, who was Su Xiqin's good friend, took Mo Jintian to school. Su Xiqin was bored at home, so she got up from bed and went to her study to work on the design.
By the afternoon, Su Xiqin was finished. She thought that it was better to go to the Zhuosheng Corporation to let them take a look at the updates. If they agreed that the updates were good enough, she could wrap up this project and deem this corporation a success.
At 4 PM, she drove to the Zhuosheng Corporation with gauze still wrapped around her head. She attracted attention everywhere she went. When Ji Qingyang saw her, he was shocked.
"Ms. Su, why did you bring it here personally when you are so injured? If you told me, I could have picked it up. Please hurry and have a seat."
Ji Qingyang got up from his office chair and quickly walked over to Su Xiqin before reaching out to support her. However, Su Xiqin waved her hand and smiled.
"It's okay. It's nothing serious." Then, she walked towards the reception area sofa and sat down there.
"How did this happen?" Ji Qingyang furrowed and asked as he glanced at her wounded forehead. Su Xiqin didn't want to spend time explaining, so she changed the topic.
"I accidently bumped my head into the door. Director Ji, here's the design blueprint for you to review." She pulled out a sheet of design paper from her file bag and handed it to Ji Qingyang.
Ji Qingyang received the designs and glanced at it. A few seconds later, he said, "Good. There's more depth to this now. I'm sure the CEO will be satisfied."
Su Xiqin's mind wandered off when he mentioned Bai Yansen. She had not seen Bai Yansen since he asked Xing Chensheng to treat her. She believed that she should thank him in person regardless of why he helped her.
After some thought, she said, "If CEO Bai is here right now, can we show him the design? I'll feel a lot better if we can confirm that we can finalize the design."
