Chapter 375: I'll grant your wish
The next morning, when Liu Xu carried the copper basin into Qiu Ziyue's room, she was stunned by what she saw.
Qiu Ziyue's eyes were swollen and red like peaches, clearly she had been crying all night.
She quickly put down the basin and asked with concern:
"Sister, what's wrong? Who said anything about you?"
Qiu Ziyue gently shook her head and whispered:
"It's nothing, I just remembered some sad things."
She forced a smile, trying to hide her emotions, but the sadness in her eyes could not be concealed.
Meanwhile, Qi Yuxuan woke up from a hangover with a splitting headache.
He gazed at the rising sun outside the window, the scene from yesterday replaying in his mind:
He lost control and slapped Qiu Ziyue, and she covered her face and ran away crying, which deeply hurt him.
How could I treat her like this?
Qi Yuxuan clenched his fists in frustration, feeling both regretful and conflicted.
He knew perfectly well that, no matter what, resorting to violence was an unforgivable act.
But when he thought about the contents of the letter and the details that made him suspicious, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Apologize? But if it really is a misunderstanding, how should I face all of this?"
Qi Yuxuan gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, his pride and inner dignity preventing him from taking the first step.
At this moment, Yun Feiyang pushed open the door and entered, carrying a basin of warm water.
"Young Valley Master, you've gotten up."
He noticed the tired and weary expression on Qi Yuxuan's face and couldn't help but speak up.
"Valley Master, please forgive me for being nosy, but is there some misunderstanding between you and the young mistress?"
Qi Yuxuan looked up at him, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he got up to wash his face and remained silent.
Seeing this, Yun Feiyang continued:
"To be honest, when we first met the young mistress, Qingluo and I really didn't like her."
But as time went on, we discovered that the young mistress was very kind-hearted.
She would rather hurt herself than hurt others.
Even though we've hurt her in the past, she's never held a grudge against us.
These words stirred something within Qi Yuxuan.
He remembered that Qiu Ziyue was usually quite boisterous.
But she was very gentle and considerate towards him, which made his guilt grow stronger.
However, when he thought of that letter again, anger surged up in his heart once more.
"Misunderstanding? It's all written down in black and white! Do you expect me to go and ask her, only to make a fool of myself?"
Qi Yuxuan said coldly, his tone carrying a hint of stubbornness.
Yun Feiyang sighed and slowly said:
"After Qingluo and I got married, we had quite a few conflicts."
Whenever I get angry, I tell myself that I must never hit anyone.
Later, whenever I doubted her, I would take out the marriage certificate and look at the words on it, reminding myself that I had chosen trust and tolerance.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan was stunned.
He instinctively pulled out the marriage certificate from his pocket, unfolded it, and saw eight large characters written on it:
"Our love is unwavering, and we will stay together until our hair turns white."
These simple words seemed to resonate deeply within him, striking his very soul.
Finally, Qi Yuxuan picked up a calligraphy brush and wrote an apology letter on the paper.
Although he still couldn't completely relinquish his trust, this letter was his first step.
At the same time, Li Cunxu was also struggling with whether or not to visit Qiu Ziyue.
He sat in his study, pacing back and forth, the image of Qiu Ziyue crying flashing through his mind.
On one hand, he wanted to rush out to find her and make sure she was alright;
On the other hand, the contents of that letter remained on his mind.
"She hates me so much, if I go there now, wouldn't I just be humiliating myself?"
Li Cunxu frowned and muttered to himself, his heart filled with contradictions.
But the next moment, he couldn't help but imagine Qiu Ziyue's current state—
Will she be even more upset because of what happened yesterday? Did that bastard Qi Yuxuan really hurt her?
"No matter what, I still have to go see her!"
Li Cunxu finally made up his mind and started walking towards Qiu Ziyue's residence.
Throughout the journey, his feelings were extremely complicated. He was both afraid of seeing the truth he didn't want to face and hoped that it was all just a false alarm.
When Li Cunxu pushed open Qiu Ziyue's door, the room was still filled with a faint sandalwood scent.
He immediately spotted Qiu Ziyue sitting by the window, her head bowed.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and there was still a bluish-purple mark on her cheek.
"My God!"
Li Cunxu rushed forward, his voice filled with shock and anger.
"That bastard hit you again? I shouldn't have helped him out last time! It's infuriating! I'll get revenge for you!"
Qiu Ziyue waved her hand and said in a tired voice:
"No need... My mind is so confused, let me sort things out."
She raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze filled with a deep sense of helplessness.
"Does it still hurt?"
Li Cunxu tenderly reached out and carefully stroked Qiu Ziyue's injured cheek.
His movements were extremely gentle, as if he were afraid of hurting her.
In that instant, he felt a strong urge to protect her fill his chest, and he wished he could immediately pull Qiu Ziyue into his arms.
Just then, a deep and suppressed voice suddenly came from the doorway:
"What...does this mean?"
The three of them were startled at the same time. They looked up and saw Qi Yuxuan standing at the door, his face ashen and his eyes as sharp as knives.
He was clutching a letter he had originally intended to use to apologize.
But seeing this scene before him, his anger flared up instantly.
Qiu Ziyue paused for a moment, then took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said:
"Yu Xuan, you're here to deliver the divorce papers to me, right? I've thought about it..."
Perhaps, we really do need to divorce. I can't bear being hurt by you time and time again.
These words were like a sharp sword piercing Qi Yuxuan's heart.
His eyes widened as he stared at Qiu Ziyue in disbelief, a hoarse question escaping his throat:
"Qiu Ziyue, do you really want to divorce me? Do you really want to be with him for life?"
"Very well! Then I'll grant your wish!"
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Yuxuan had already torn the apology letter in his hand to shreds.
The fragments scattered and fell, just like his heart, which was now broken.
He turned to leave, but was stopped by Qiu Ziyue's shout.
"Yu Xuan, do you really not want me anymore?"
Qiu Ziyue asked anxiously, but Qi Yuxuan was unwilling to listen to another word.
He gritted his teeth, turned back to look at her, and sneered:
"What else is there to say? Haven't you already made your choice? Since that's the case, stop pretending and I'll grant your wish!"
After saying that, he slammed the door shut and left, leaving behind a deathly silence.
Seeing Qiu Ziyue's distraught appearance, Li Cunxu felt extremely distressed.
He wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how to start.
In the end, he could only whisper:
"Twilight Sparkle, you have to be strong, be yourself, and don't be sad."
Qiu Ziyue raised her head and looked at Li Cunxu, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
She didn't answer, but silently lowered her head, letting the tears fall again.
At this moment, the fates of the three people seemed to have reached a crossroads.
Some chose to escape, while others chose to persevere.
The remaining person, however, was plunged into endless pain and struggle.
