That kind of emotion made him feel vexed.
And disgusted.
So in this year of marriage, he only wanted to drive her away.
Since she had a man she loved in her heart, why was she still treating him like this?
Was it just for money?
Hearing Su Qi say it herself, a sense of annoyance still flickered in his heart.
Su Qi turned her head and looked at the man beside her, smiling slightly.
"Do you know who that man is?"
"Who?"
The man's words made Su Qi burst into laughter.
She had tried so hard for so many years, yet she had never spoken that sentence.
I love him.
Loved him for three full years.
But what if she said it?
It would only earn her his mockery.
Moreover, her love was no longer important.
"It's not important anymore, he's preparing for a divorce."
"He's preparing for a divorce, shouldn't you be happy?"
"Happy? He never loved me from beginning to end, so whether we divorce or not is not important to me."
Huo Tingyun felt a wave of vexation and reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette, only to find the pack empty.
He could only light his lighter, but a gust of wind, carrying raindrops, blew over and instantly extinguished the lighter.
The light in Su Qi's eyes also died out with the wind.
"Huo Tingyun, that man, his name is..."
A car drove past, drowning out Su Qi's voice.
Huo Tingyun could only make out the name from her lips.
Fu Shenme?
How strange, this man's name was so similar to his.
Su Qi opened her umbrella and disappeared into the heavy rain.
Leaving him alone, standing under the eaves.
Upon returning home, Gu Tangxue took the umbrella from her hand. "With such heavy rain, why are you only back now? I was so worried about you. I heard your mother caused trouble at the film set today..."
Word had spread throughout the film crew.
They said Su Qi's mother was a madwoman who had just escaped from a mental hospital.
If Gu Tangxue hadn't seen Huo Tingyun appear here with her own eyes, she would have almost believed it.
There were things that Su Qi didn't say, and Gu Tangxue felt too embarrassed to ask.
She handed Su Qi a dry towel and wiped her clean.
The rain was heavy, and even with an umbrella, she was slightly damp.
Su Qi changed into dry homewear.
"They all say your mother is delusional, imagining you and Huo Tingyun are married, but you clearly are, and your mother wasn't wrong. Xu Lin Yun is the mistress, so why don't you tell everyone?"
"We are preparing for a divorce."
Since they were already divorcing, there was no need.
It was just the final step.
Moreover, she didn't want any more entanglement with this man.
As she was thinking, the phone on the coffee table vibrated.
It was Li Cuiping calling.
Gu Tangxue glanced at it, intending to let Su Qi answer, but seeing that Su Qi had no intention of answering, she said nothing more and turned on the television.
The phone kept vibrating.
Finally, Su Qi picked up the phone and went into the room.
"Mom?"
The door closed.
"I'm telling you, Su Qi, you are not to divorce Huo Tingyun, don't even think about it, unless the Huo family gives you substantial compensation, I won't agree."
Li Cuiping shouted into the phone, afraid that the unpromising Su Qi would go through with the divorce.
"Mom, I know."
"Know what? Don't try to fob me off here. I'm telling you, if you divorce, your brother will be truly beyond help. If the Huo family withdraws their investment, the Su family will go bankrupt, and the whole family will be left on the streets. No one will be able to take care of your brother, and he's still undergoing rehabilitation..."
Su Qi's heart felt heavy, as if pressed down by a huge rock.
How could she not know that her brother needed money?
But she didn't want to take advantage of the Huo family anymore.
"Mom, without the Huo family, we can manage too. You can't rely on the Huo family forever. Do you really think causing trouble at the Xu family will stop all this? They can make you disappear in an instant!"
"I don't believe they would go that far. Anyway, you are not allowed to divorce! Otherwise, you'll never see Su Yan again in this lifetime!"
Li Cuiping said fiercely and hung up the phone with a click.
Li Cuiping knew her weaknesses very well.
But she underestimated her resolve.
Time passed quickly on the film set, and more than half a month went by like flowing water.
During this period, she hadn't seen Huo Tingyun, and Xu Lin Yun was filming with peace of mind. Everything seemed to have returned to calm, and Su Qi enjoyed such days, peaceful and tranquil.
One day, Xu Lin Yun was filming a night scene. After dinner, they started shooting.
Su Qi stood by with a water bottle, waiting, feeling drowsy.
It was already past midnight.
After only a few minutes of filming, Xu Lin Yun suddenly felt unwell, covered her mouth, and vomited.
"Lin Yun, what's wrong?"
Mo Yu rushed forward.
The film crew staff also stopped filming when they saw this.
There was a doctor attached to the crew who came to give Xu Lin Yun a brief examination.
"Did you miss your period this month?"
At these words, everyone froze.
"Yes, I've been too busy filming and didn't pay attention. It was supposed to come at the beginning of the month, but sometimes it comes at the end of the month, so I didn't think much of it."
"Then it's right. Go get checked, it might be morning sickness."
Morning sickness?
Xu Lin Yun's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
"Wh-what?"
"In simple terms, you might be pregnant."
No wonder she had been feeling unwell these past few days.
The crowd reacted from their surprise, and someone started speaking.
"Congratulations, congratulations, you're pregnant! It's perfect timing with the engagement banquet preparations, truly double happiness!"
"Congratulations, Mrs. Huo, you'll soon secure your position as a wealthy socialite!"
There was a flurry of flattery and praise.
If Xu Lin Yun was pregnant, the father of the child could only be Huo Tingyun.
The helmsman of Huo Corporation, the most prestigious company in Shencheng.
With Xu Lin Yun's pregnancy, wouldn't she have secured her position as the young madam of the Huo family?
"Thank you all for your blessings!"
Xu Lin Yun's smile was radiant, her mouth stretched wide in a smile, her cheeks slightly flushed!
She was pregnant!
She knew it!
That night, she and Tingyun had been intimate so many times.
She knew she would get pregnant and had been paying attention to her diet and health during this time.
She hadn't expected to conceive on the first try.
Xu Lin Yun touched her stomach, which was still flat.
She was already looking forward to the birth of this child!
Xu Lin Yun's gaze fell on Su Qi. "Sister Su Qi, aren't you going to congratulate me?"
She said softly.
Su Qi came back to her senses and smiled gently. "Congratulations, you're going to be a mother. You can't work so hard and stay up late filming anymore, you need to take care of yourself."
Perhaps it was because she was also a mother, or perhaps she had let go of everything.
She actually said these words with great composure.
Xu Lin Yun couldn't tell if Su Qi's blessing was genuine or sarcastic, but she accepted it with a smile.
Now, she was pregnant.
With Huo Tingyun's child.
Su Qi could no longer snatch Tingyun away from her.
Tingyun belonged only to her.
With a child, Tingyun would definitely divorce Su Qi.
