"Understand? What do you want me to understand? I don't care about your heart at all, as long as your body isn't some kind of stagnant water." Qin Tianyi narrowed his eyes and looked at her body, which was wrapped in a loose shirt.
Gu Susu nervously gulped down the tea in her cup, sensing that he was once again exuding a dangerous aura.
However, he seemed a bit too tired to pounce on her directly. After a moment of silence, he said leisurely, "You really want a divorce from me?"
Gu Susu nodded and said cautiously, "I know you only married me to comply with the old lady's wishes, and you never truly wanted to marry me. With your current status, you could easily find a much better girl, and... and you've always looked down on me, despised me. But can you let me go?"
"I can," Qin Tianyi surprisingly agreed.
Gu Susu stared blankly, almost unable to believe it.
Qin Tianyi's gaze turned cold again as he said, "But you have to serve me well. If you make me happy, then I'll divorce you."
"Make you happy?" Gu Susu thought that since they got married, she had only seen him smile a handful of times, and sometimes his smile was more frightening than his frown. Making someone like him happy seemed too difficult.
"Can't do it? If you can't, then don't even think about divorce," Qin Tianyi said, casting his cold, stern gaze upon Gu Susu.
Gu Susu bit her lip and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Actively please me."
Gu Susu looked at him, her heart jolting. He always managed to strike her with the most unbearable blows from his lofty position.
Qin Tianyi's lips curved into a slight smile as he said, "It seems you don't really want a divorce. Then forget it. Go to sleep, and let me have some quiet time."
Gu Susu closed her eyes and then opened them again, deciding to go for it. She asked, "If I do this, will it make you happy? Will you divorce me?"
Qin Tianyi nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, but it also depends on how well you do it, whether you can satisfy me?"
"Alright." Gu Susu suddenly pushed him back forcefully, falling onto the sofa with him.
She pinned him down and began to unbutton his pajamas one by one. "This is what you want, isn't it?"
Qin Tianyi stared at her motionlessly. He saw her direct words and bold actions, but her cheeks were flushing like peach blossoms, and his muscles involuntarily tensed.
She didn't realize how attractive she looked. Had she ever acted like this with anyone else besides him?
Qin Tianyi reached out to stop her actions. She was the only woman he had ever touched.
Even if some women were naked in front of him, he felt nothing. Yet, with her, he would react, and he always found himself wanting her.
For someone with his cleanliness obsession, the thought of her past made her seem dirty, and he should have felt disgusted.
But every time he faced her, he couldn't help but be attracted to her. He felt like he was going crazy.
"Did I do something wrong? Isn't this what you want?" Gu Susu asked, stunned.
"You're doing very well," Qin Tianyi said in a low voice. "I'm very tired tonight, and I won't be moving. It will all be up to you."
Gu Susu's heart ached, but she still stubbornly replied, "Okay."
He thought that because she had sold beer in nightclubs, she was a prostitute. If that was the case, she would learn from other women tonight and satisfy him.
In the end, Gu Susu closed her eyes, feeling as if she had experienced a chaotic dream. In a daze, she didn't know what Qin Tianyi was murmuring in her ear. Exhausted, she drifted into a deep sleep.
When she woke up the next morning, she found that he was no longer beside her. Qin Tianyi was dressed and standing in front of the mirror.
Seeing her wake up, Qin Tianyi, still with his back to her, tidied his clothes and said, "Get up and get ready. After breakfast, we'll take Little Star to the amusement park."
Gu Susu hugged the blanket tightly and sat up, her head aching slightly, her mind a bit foggy. She asked, "To the amusement park? Did I make you happy last night? Can we call the lawyer now?"
Qin Tianyi's expression immediately turned blank. Gu Susu clearly felt the temperature around her drop by a few degrees.
"You think this can make me happy? You're thinking too simply."
"But you agreed last night..."
"Do you think with your limited abilities, you can make me that happy?" Qin Tianyi interrupted her, turning to stare at her with cold eyes. "Hurry up and get up. Little Star is waiting for us to take him to the park."
Gu Susu had no choice but to swallow her pride, holding back the tears that were welling up in her eyes. "I understand."
Qin Tianyi didn't look at her again and left the room first.
Gu Susu felt like she had been played, but she was helpless. Little Star liked Qin Tianyi so much now, and she couldn't completely disregard the child's feelings.
It was still the second day of the Lunar New Year holiday. They took Little Star to the amusement park. It was crowded, with many people bringing their children to play.
Qin Tianyi carried Little Star on his shoulders and walked through the amusement park. He would queue up for any ride Little Star liked and played with him.
Gu Susu only rode the carousel with them once before feeling very dizzy. For other rides, she let the two of them play while she watched from the side.
She watched Qin Tianyi and Little Star playing bumper cars from a distance. Seeing them laugh so happily, she truly had the illusion that they were father and son.
Like other families, parents bringing their children to the amusement park, spending a happy day, living a simple, happy life.
After a round of bumper cars, Little Star got out of the car and ran to Gu Susu, pulling her and saying, "Mom, I want to ride the Crazy Mouse too. Can you come with me?"
Gu Susu followed him a few steps, holding her forehead. She felt her head ache and spin. Looking at the Crazy Mouse, which was much more intense than the carousel, she felt a wave of nausea and shook her head, saying, "Mom can't ride this, I'm dizzy."
"Mom! You're always like this when we come to the amusement park. You can't ride anything, you're more useless than me," Little Star pouted.
Gu Susu stroked his head and said, "If you like it, you can go play by yourself. I'll watch from the side and take pictures for you. It's the same."
"It's no fun," Little Star stomped his foot.
Qin Tianyi took his little hand and said, "You still want to ride the Crazy Mouse, right? Dad can accompany you. With me accompanying you, we'll let Mom rest. Women are all this useless."
"Dad is right. The girls in my class are all very timid too," Little Star agreed enthusiastically.
Gu Susu quickly corrected him, "Xingxing, that's not right. You can't discriminate against girls. Who says girls are useless? Men and women are equal in this world. Women hold up half the sky just like men, do you know that?"
Little Star said "Oh," but his expression clearly showed his defiance.
Gu Susu then turned to Qin Tianyi and said, "You can't teach children like this..."
Qin Tianyi ignored her and walked towards the Crazy Mouse ride with Little Star, leaving behind, "He's a boy, and there's nothing wrong with me teaching him this way."
Gu Susu was so angry she put her hands on her hips. He taught the child gender discrimination and thought nothing was wrong with it. She didn't want Little Star to grow up to be like him.
She hoped Little Star would grow up to be a cheerful, lively, and warm-hearted man.
