Guide to Divorce in Wealthy Families

Chapter4

The morning light seeped in through the gap in the curtains, and Qin Chun opened her eyes.

There was a dull pain on the left side of her head. She turned over and rubbed her swollen temples. Suddenly, her hand froze.

What came into view was a naked back, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The lines of the muscles were beautiful, outlining an upper body of a man who was slim yet not lacking in strength.

Before she could come to her senses, the man stretched and woke up. He turned around and happened to be face to face with her.

It was Xiao Bingyang.

There was an eerie silence in the air.

Several scattered images flashed through Qin Chun's mind.

The long-lost stray cat had returned. She held the cat and stroked it to her heart's content. Not only did she carefully bathe the stray cat and trim its nails, but she also had to sleep with its furry body...

There was a turmoil in her mind, but on the surface, all was calm. She greeted expressionlessly, "Good morning."

This cold and indifferent face corresponded to Xiao Bingyang's usual impression of Qin Chun, but it was completely different from the charming and soft appearance of last night. Xiao Bingyang's eyelids twitched. Suddenly, he felt that he should have recorded how Qin Chun was clinging to him last night.

"Not very good," he said with a straight face. "I didn't sleep all night last night. Someone kept trying to trim my nails with nail clippers."

For a second, her expression cracked. Qin Chun took a deep breath and silently counted to ten in her heart.

After counting, her expression had returned to normal. "Sorry, the aftereffect of last night's wine was very strong. I might have drunk too much. You can sleep a little longer. I won't disturb you."

She quickly got out of bed and left the bedroom to wash up in another room.

Xiao Bingyang was indeed still very sleepy, but he was no longer in the mood to sleep. Perhaps it was because it was rare to see Qin Chun's expression crack. His mood was somewhat pleasant, and his morning grumpiness had almost dissipated. He leaned casually on the bed and looked around this long-unseen bedroom.

Just like Qin Chun herself, the color tone of the bedroom was full of coldness. Black and white were very fashionable and self-expressive but lacked a bit of the warmth of a master bedroom. Opposite the bed hung an oil painting of white water lilies. It was serene and elegant. On the right, there was a dragonfly resting on one of the lilies. Its wings were thin and translucent, lifelike. It could be seen that the painter had excellent skills.

Looking closely, there was an English name signed at the lower right corner. She had never heard of it.

Xiao Bingyang also liked water lilies very much. He had personally raised several tanks of them in the villa before. After taking over Chenfeng Group, company affairs became more and more busy. He also fell in love with that state of being a workaholic. He didn't know where the gardener had moved those tanks of water lilies.

Did Qin Chun choose such a painting to hang in the master bedroom because she got his preferences from his family and deliberately used it to please him?

Then Qin Chun had good taste. He was indeed pleased.

Xiao Bingyang admired it for a while and then got up, putting on a bathrobe.

Qin Chun had already washed up and was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom fiddling with her hair. Perhaps because her hair was relatively soft, her hair was pressed into strange shapes after sleeping for one night. There were a few tufts sticking up at the temples, looking a bit strange.

"When did you cut it?" Xiao Bingyang leaned against the doorframe and looked at her.

Qin Chun's fingers paused for a moment, and the corners of her mouth slightly rose. "Rarely. You still remember that I used to have long hair."

Xiao Bingyang frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing," Qin Chun said indifferently. "I cut it on a whim."

"You can grow it back," Xiao Bingyang said casually. "I prefer long hair. It'd be better with some curls."

As if she hadn't heard him, Qin Chun was concentrating on doing her hair. However, after pressing for a long time, she still couldn't press those stubborn tufts back. So she simply grabbed it randomly like a hairstylist and sprayed some hairspray to fix it. After finishing, it actually looked quite good. The slight messiness was very fashionable.

Satisfied, she straightened her collar and walked out without looking at Xiao Bingyang.

Xiao Bingyang had never been ignored like this before. His gaze darkened, and unconsciously followed Qin Chun's moving figure.

Qin Chun was wearing an oversized sweater today with a pair of tight jeans underneath. Her bare ankles were delicate and fair. At the entrance, she put on platform shoes, put on a crossbody bag, and then put on a large, wide white down coat. She was dressed very freshingly. At first glance, she looked like a college student.

Seeing that Qin Chun was about to open the door, Xiao Bingyang couldn't believe that he was being ignored like this. He asked unpleasantly, "Where are you going?"

"For a husband whose whereabouts I only learned from others after three months, I don't think I need to report my whereabouts to you," Qin Chun turned around, her chin slightly raised, and the curve of her mouth had a hint of self-mocking sarcasm. "It's better to be like before, without interfering with each other. That's more like your style."

With a loud "bang", the door closed.

The early morning pleasure disappeared completely with this loud closing sound. Xiao Bingyang felt that he was crazy to have come home last night and taken care of the drunk Qin Chun all night.

Surely one can't be soft-hearted towards women.

At the beginning, he agreed to the marriage alliance with the Qin family. First, because the company planned to develop a large project with Qinyuan Group. Having a family relationship could serve as a guarantee. Second, Qin Chun seemed to be similar to him. She was also not enthusiastic about relationships between men and women and loved work more than managing marriage.

Of course, there was an even more important point. He was really tired of the endless nagging and unnecessary concern from the elders. Getting married was like completing a necessary task.

Facts had proved that his choice was not wrong. In these two years, no one had bothered him about emotional and marital matters anymore. These two years were also two years of rapid development for Chenfeng Group. The company quickly transformed from traditional energy industries and entered emerging fields such as self-media social networking, cultural and entertainment content, and augmented reality. Revenue and profits increased geometrically.

Qin Chun had never complained about this kind of marriage with few gatherings and many separations. Every time he saw her, she was always indifferent, neither happy nor angry. There was no fluctuation in the look in her eyes.

He had heard some rumors sporadically. It was said that she was also very busy, busy with her real estate company. The two boutique real estate projects developed in these two years were very popular and hard to find a house. They were quite famous in the industry.

Why was she so inexplicably angry today?

Qin Chun like this was not like a cold and proud white swan but rather like a hedgehog covered in thorns. Touching it would hurt one's hand.

In this case, the turmoil in yesterday's video was not a big deal and didn't need to be asked about.

Xiao Bingyang was about to go back to catch up on sleep when his phone rang. Looking at it, it was Zheng Huai, that little playboy.

"Brother, where are you?" Zheng Huai asked while yawning. "I struggled to arrive at your company before nine. Don't tell me you're still in bed being affectionate with sister-in-law."

Only then did Xiao Bingyang remember. Last night, Zheng Keji repeatedly asked him to let Zheng Huai come to his company for experience.

The Zheng family was the leading retail and department store in Anzhou. Zheng Keji was his friend for many years. Zheng Huai was Zheng Keji's younger cousin and the most favored grandson of the Zheng family. Zheng Keji was raised by his uncle and aunt when he was young. He regarded this younger cousin as his own brother. With such a request, he couldn't refuse and had to agree.

"Do you want to manage my affairs too?" Xiao Bingyang asked coldly.

"No, no. I don't dare to manage," Zheng Huai immediately woke up from his drowsiness and***, "This is just hoping that you and sister-in-law are affectionate. If you're in a good mood, you can be more lenient with me."

"You can find Assistant Su. He will arrange for you to work in the investment department," Xiao Bingyang seriously reminded. "Don't think about slacking off. I have already told him. Work like an ordinary employee."

Zheng Huai muttered and complained, "Brother, I really wonder how sister-in-law can tolerate you. If I had such a husband who hasn't been home for three months and is still so fierce from time to time, I would definitely find some pleasure outside."

Xiao Bingyang's eyelids twitched again. Just as he was about to reprimand this little playboy properly, Zheng Huai quickly hung up the phone.

Staring at the phone for a while and then thinking about Qin Chun's abnormal reaction just now, for some reason, Xiao Bingyang's heart skipped a beat.

Then thinking about it, he sneered.

Nonsense. Qin Chun was still at home drinking to relieve boredom last night. After getting drunk, she would only hold him and stroke his hair. How could she find some pleasure? It seemed that he really needed to train this little playboy more so that he wouldn't have the leisure to talk nonsense.

Qin Chun didn't know that Zheng Huai was complaining for her. She was in a state of annoyance now. She really wanted to go back to last night and take the wine glass out of her own hand.

She didn't expect Xiao Bingyang to come home last night. She also didn't expect that she would show her softest side to Xiao Bingyang when she was half drunk. You know, she had originally planned to mention divorce to Xiao Bingyang soon.

Cutting her long hair that she had kept for so many years was to make her determination stronger.

Unexpectedly, there were many unexpected events yesterday, which deviated her plan.

Shaking her head, she put this matter aside for now. Today she had more important things to do.

The board meeting that was interrupted yesterday was rescheduled for next Friday. She needed to sort out the Taohuayuan Town project in these few days and then make the final decision.

Seeing is believing. Although she had feelings for this project at the bottom of her heart and hoped to fulfill Qin Chengshan's last wish and build the town perfectly, after all, it was an investment of tens of billions. She couldn't be emotional. So today she had to go to the project site for an inspection.

The location of Taohuayuan Town was chosen by her and Qin Chengshan together. It was on the edge of the entire Anzhou area. It took about two hours to drive there from the urban area.

According to the originally negotiated and agreed-upon plan with the municipal government and the county government, Metro Line 10 in Anzhou City would reach the county where the town was located. Then the government and the company would jointly invest in building a light rail to Taohuayuan Town.

This light rail was very beautiful in the plan. On one side was the endless bay, and on the other side was the lush green mountain. Admire azaleas in spring, listen to cicadas in summer, watch the waves in autumn, and smell plum blossoms in winter.

However, Line 10 had been completed and opened to traffic this summer, but there was still no sign of the light rail. Now she could only go there by bus.

After coming out of the subway station, Qin Chun waited at the bus stop for about half an hour. Although the weather was good today and the sun was shining, the wind by the sea still had a biting chill. Fortunately, she had the foresight to wear a thick down coat. Otherwise, she would definitely catch a cold.

The bus finally started. There were only her and a middle-aged man in his fifties on the bus. The middle-aged man was carrying two large plastic bags and greeted the driver familiarly.

"Hey, girl, are you going to visit relatives?" The uncle was very sociable.

Qin Chun responded vaguely.

"It's really rare. There are not many households living in our community now," the uncle complained. "At the beginning, they boasted extravagantly. What internationally renowned luxurious resort peninsula. What one-stop enjoyment of education, elderly care, and vacation. What six-star accompanying the moon, extremely beautiful creativity... These people were all duped and fell for Qin Chengshan's tricks."

Qin Chun's face changed instantly.
