Chapter 106 I want a divorce, can he still refuse to let me go?
Lai Yunlong was obviously angry. She had always been obedient and listened to his words. When he wanted to help Su Hongmei and Lu Qinchuan, he relied entirely on Lu Xiaohua. Now, after only a few days, she even talked about breaking up and divorce.
"Xiaohua, let me repeat myself. I came here today specifically to apologize to you for what happened yesterday. If you feel that an apology doesn't make you feel better, you can make any offer you want, as long as you're happy. Please stop saying such hurtful things, okay?"
Although it sounded like sincere words, there was already an irrefutable tone when he said it.
"Come with me now. I'll file a marriage report right away. With my current position, you can join the army after we get married. The army will normally give priority to military families in arranging jobs. We don't rely on Su Hongmei or your brother. As long as I'm here, everything will be fine, okay?"
Seeing that Lu Xiaohua turned away and no longer looked at him, Lai Yunlong began to comfort her kindly. After all, they had the most beautiful first love, and he asked Lu Xiaohua to come here with the purpose of getting married.
This was the first time in his life that he saw Lu Xiaohua treat him so coldly. She just lowered her head, and the hand that had just hit him was clenched tightly, even trembling slightly.
The room was silent, and the two of them were in a stalemate for several minutes. Lai Yunlong looked at the woman who used to smile at him all the time, but now she looked indifferent and distant. He wanted to ignore it, but it became clearer and clearer.
He let out a deep breath, turned around, opened the door, walked out of the west room, and went straight to the main room.
"Old Lu, I want to file a marriage registration. I want to marry Xiaohua!"
His tone was firm and his eyes were bright.
"Why?" A puff of smoke blew out, covering Lu Qinchuan's cold eyebrows and eyes.
Lai Yunlong's body stiffened slightly. Of course, he was not expecting Lu Qinchuan's 180-degree change in attitude.
"...Um, Old Lu, I just apologized to Xiaohua in the room. As Xiaohua's parent, I also formally apologize to you. Yesterday was all my fault, and there won't be a second time!"
Isn’t this attitude sincere enough?
Lai Yunlong thought secretly that Lu Qinchuan had been away from home for many years and didn't know much about his sister, but she was very close to him. Maybe getting him to agree would change Lu Xiaohua's mind.
"As Lu Xiaohua's brother and her parent, I solemnly express my position here: I—disagree!"
Lai Yunlong never expected Lu Qinchuan to say such a thing. He took a deep breath and stood stiffly in place.
"I'll make it clear to my family. Xiaohua has a strong and stubborn personality and isn't suitable for you. Marriage is about being together for life, and I don't want Xiaohua to be constantly wronged and unhappy like this for the next few decades."
He took another deep puff of his cigarette before pressing the butt into the ashtray and strangling it. Just like his words, there seemed to be no room for maneuver.
"Everything has changed since you married this woman!" Lai Yunlong suddenly pointed at Zhou Ruoyu who was standing next to the closet, his voice trembling.
The rising morning light shone through the window onto her slightly flushed face, with an incomparably moving color like a blooming peach blossom.
But there was no change on this beautiful face, and she didn't even look at him.
Lu Qinchuan frowned and glanced at Lai Yunlong coldly, which made his back cold.
Zhou Ruoyu smiled faintly and shifted her gaze towards me. "She's two months older than me, she's not a child anymore. Do you think she'll let others choose her life for her? Before you blame others, think about your own actions first. Will it make her feel that living with someone like you would be terrible?"
"You're such a scheming woman! Isn't it because we once prevented your arranged marriage with Lao Lu that you've been holding a grudge against us? So you're trying every possible way to sabotage my marriage with Xiaohua!"
When Lai Yunlong said this, he felt a lot more relieved. After all, not separating the two of them was his knot in his heart. Now that he was counterattacked by Zhou Ruoyu, he felt a sense of pleasure as if he were fighting with swords and guns.
Zhou Ruoyu had no intention of arguing with him. She looked Lai Yunlong up and down with contempt and said, "You should look in the mirror before you say that. My marriage to Lu Qinchuan has nothing to do with whether my parents arranged it or not, and it has nothing to do with whether you guys try to stop it. It's all about whether I want to or not!"
Lai Yunlong was completely bewildered by this statement, but he didn't dwell on it and continued to protest: "What's with signing a guarantee to do housework? It seems you have ulterior motives. She's such a docile woman, but she hit me and broke up with me just because of something trivial yesterday. She even said something crazy like divorce is possible even after marriage."
"Tsk, you keep saying you're against arranged marriages, but if it's a failed marriage without love, can't you just get a divorce? If Old Lu has another woman in his heart now, I definitely won't stay and leave. Just get a divorce."
Lu Qinchuan stiffened his neck and blushed as he said loudly, "I won't!"
I'm just speaking analogically, bro!
Zhou Ruoyu complained in her heart and quickly changed her words: "For example, I don't have any deep feelings for Lu Qinchuan. The reason I chose to be with him is purely because he is an officer. This way, no matter what I do, it will be much more convenient, and it also makes me feel proud.
However, if I ever become successful, I can definitely file for a divorce. After all, this is an era that advocates freedom of marriage. Can Lu Qinchuan still force himself on me?
The air suddenly became unusually quiet. Not only did Lai Yunlong look at her in astonishment, but even Lu Qinchuan was staring at her with disbelief.
Maybe she said the wrong thing, or maybe she and Lu Qinchuan simply failed to reach a consensus on this matter, which led to his misunderstanding.
She couldn't help licking her lips and explained awkwardly, "...Um...I was just giving an example..."
Lai Yunlong sneered: "What a freedom of marriage! So this is why Xiaohua broke up with me today."
He turned his head and looked at Lu Qinchuan, who was looking down in thought. "Old Lu, since you've already expressed your feelings, I have nothing more to say. Just pretend I wasn't here today. I don't blame Xiaohua for being so young and having a bad temper. If she changes her mind tomorrow, I can always go get a marriage certificate with her."
He exhaled deeply, glanced towards the west room where Lu Xiaohua was, and said loudly, "Xiaohua, calm down first. Feel free to come to me tomorrow when you calm down. I won't take today's incident to heart."
There was no response from inside the house. Lai Yunlong glared at Zhou Ruoyu fiercely and turned to leave.
