After several quiet days, even the lawyer didn't come to the door anymore.
Luo Qianxun actually felt mentally drained.
Although she stubbornly refused to sign the divorce papers, her opponent was Li Mingxun, who was much more ruthless than her. She didn't know how long she could hold on.
Half asleep, half awake, Luo Qianxun heard the door opening. She startled, waking up.
She knew Li Mingxun was home.
With a sigh, she sat up and draped a jacket over herself, like a sturdy suit of armor. She walked out of the room, ready for another round of Li Mingxun's sarcasm and mockery.
After the failed attempt from the lawyer, was he making his own move to press her into the divorce again?
Luo Qianxun gave a bitter smile. These past few days, they had argued more about the divorce than they had spoken during their year of marriage.
Thinking about it, it was quite sad.
"Come, sit on the sofa and rest."
Li Mingxun helped Jiang Xinjie to the sofa and put a cushion behind her for comfort.
"Brother Mingxun, Qianxun might not be awake at this hour. Maybe we should come later."
Jiang Xinjie looked at Li Mingxun, "There's no rush for the divorce, I didn't mean to pressure you."
"Jiang Xinjie, you just barged into my territory early in the morning, and you say you're not in a hurry?"
Standing at the top of the staircase, Luo Qianxun looked at Li Mingxun and Jiang Xinjie with displeasure, "Li Mingxun, please tell her to get out! This villa is my private territory, I don't want her to stain it."
This was the bridal house Li Yuan had given her. Li Mingxun might not come back, but she would never allow this mistress to step foot in here.
Jiang Xinjie was dressed lavishly, while she wore no jewelry on her neck or wrists.
In contrast, her only advantage was her delicate features.
Seeing Jiang Xinjie there, flaunting, her hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
"Brother Mingxun, I'll leave first."
Jiang Xinjie got up, then clutched her stomach, looking weak, and plopped back down on the sofa.
"Don't hurry to leave."
Li Mingxun held Jiang Xinjie's shoulder and turned his cold gaze to Luo Qianxun. "Sign the divorce agreement, and we'll leave immediately."
"I told you I won't sign."
Luo Qianxun boldly stood at the top of the staircase, looking down at the two of them. There was a strong mockery in her eyes towards Jiang Xinjie.
Li Mingxun had brought Jiang Xinjie home to intimidate her. There was no need for her to show them any courtesy.
"You…"
Li Mingxun was infuriated. He disliked Luo Qianxun's stubbornness.
Jiang Xinjie took his hand and said gently, "Brother Mingxun, don't be angry. It's my fault. If I hadn't come between you two, you wouldn't have fought."
"It's not your fault."
Li Mingxun's heart ached seeing Jiang Xinjie act so understanding.
"Jiang Xinjie, stop your acting."
Seeing Li Mingxun's gentle manner towards Jiang Xinjie, a surge of anger welled up from Luo Qianxun's heart.
Why couldn't he see Jiang Xinjie's true nature?
"Luo Qianxun, you must sign today, whether you like it or not."
Li Mingxun moved up the stairs, stopping in front of Luo Qianxun. His deep, ominous gaze fixed on her.
"As I said, unless I die, I won't divorce."
Luo Qianxun bravely met Li Mingxun's gaze, "If you dare, strangle me to death."
"You…"
Li Mingxun gritted his back teeth in fury. He abruptly grabbed Luo Qianxun's neck, "Don't think I won't."
"Hehe…"
Luo Qianxun laughed, but tears slowly slid down her cheeks.
How many times had Li Mingxun grabbed her by the neck?
In order to divorce, he really must wish to strangle her to death, right?
