Chapter 232 How Can I Help You Get a Divorce?
Lin Bingxue is no longer of any value to Xiang Chenyi.
It would even only drag him down.
"Besides," Xiang Chenyi said quickly, "I'm very curious about what you want to tell me."
Lin Xige lowered her eyes and opened her red lips. The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't know how to say them for a moment.
She did not answer, but asked: "Mr. Xiang, do you want to cancel the engagement with Lin Bingxue? Or, continue to fulfill the engagement?"
Xiang Chenyi did not give a direct answer.
He said, "Just call me by my name, no need to be so polite."
"Yeah," Lin Xige nodded, "I'm just afraid it might be a bit abrupt."
"It's not abrupt, Xige." Xiang Chenyi took the initiative to call out her name, "Because we... should have known each other a long time ago."
The look he gave her was surprisingly passionate.
Lin Xige felt it.
She frowned, didn't look at him, turned slightly, and continued to walk slowly forward.
Xiang Chenyi followed beside her.
His shoulder would occasionally brush against her side unintentionally.
"Actually, I can see that you want to cancel the engagement." Lin Xige said, "That's why I suggested to talk to you in private."
"What do you mean, if I still want to be with Bingxue, you won't look for me alone?"
"Yes."
Xiang Chenyi kept looking at her: "Why."
Lin Xige smiled: "Because I need you."
Xiang Chenyi wanted to ask again, but Lin Xige spoke first: "You are already Lin Bingxue's last line of defense. How would she feel if even you gave up on her? You have known each other for many years, and have loved each other for many years, and are about to enter the marriage palace... Don't you have any feelings for her at all?"
After Lin Bingxue's identity was exposed, could Xiang Chenyi immediately take back all the feelings he had invested in Lin Bingxue?
Can love be controlled and released freely?
Xiang Chenyi couldn't guess what Lin Xige was thinking, and after thinking it over again and again, he decided to remain silent.
Too many words are wrong.
He first looked at what Lin Xige wanted to do, and then acted accordingly.
Lin Xige added: "When I saw you appear in the living room of Yuyuan, I thought you were here to save Lin Bingxue. Lin Bingxue herself thought so too."
"I came to save her. I couldn't contact her and was worried that she might be in danger. But I didn't expect..."
Xiang Chenyi paused for a few seconds at the right time: “Such a big thing happened to the Lin family.”
"You haven't answered my question yet," Lin Xige got back to the point, "Do you still love Lin Bingxue? Do you want to continue to fulfill your engagement with her? Xiang Chenyi, I hope you can tell me the truth."
Xiang Chenyi certainly didn't want to.
Not at all.
But he couldn't act so anxiously; he had to be tactful and look embarrassed and heartbroken.
He didn't want to be known as a heartless man.
Moreover, he is so profit-driven that Lin Xige will probably have a bad impression of him.
The Lin family will also re-examine his character.
After thinking carefully, Xiang Chenyi said beautifully: "Xige, just now in the living room, I showed hesitation in the face of Lin Bingxue's questioning, so you or she thinks that I want to cancel the engagement and get out of it safely...right?"
"Yes." Lin Xige nodded.
Hesitation means unwillingness.
If you are willing, you won't hesitate.
The reaction at that moment is a person's truest emotion.
If Xiang Chenyi really loved Lin Bingxue to his core, he would marry her no matter who she was.
True love doesn't need any reason, just because you are you.
"Alas..." Xiang Chenyi sighed deeply, "Marriage is not something that can be decided just by whether I love it or not."
Lin Xige asked: "Isn't it true that...if you love someone to a certain extent, you can get married?"
"Xige, I am not only Xiang Chenyi and Lin Bingxue's fiancé, I am also the son of the Xiang family and the future heir. If such a big thing happened and I didn't discuss it with my family and made the decision on my own, it would be irresponsible to the Xiang family."
"Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. I am willing to continue to be with Lin Bingxue, but if the Xiang family firmly disagrees, what can I do? I am stuck in the middle and am in a dilemma."
Xiang Chenyi shook his head and sighed as he spoke, looking melancholy.
"But..." Lin Xige frowned, "Marriage is between you and Lin Bingxue. If you insist, the Xiang family can't break you up."
She always felt that if they loved each other enough, they would never be separated.
Unless, not love.
"Yes, you are right," Xiang Chenyi agreed, "If I marry Lin Bingxue, she won't be able to enter the Xiang family at all. If the family doesn't recognize her, how can she live a good life?"
The meaning behind Xiang Chenyi's words is to express——
He was in a difficult situation and needed to think carefully about it. He did not want to cancel the engagement immediately.
He was just looking out for the bigger picture.
Not only that, he also felt that he was a victim.
It was the Lin family who betrothed the fake daughter to him, which led to the current situation.
In short, Xiang Chenyi would never admit it. He wanted to cancel the engagement immediately and draw a clear line between himself and Lin Bingxue.
After a few seconds of silence, Xiang Chenyi said, "I need a few days to give an answer. I need to negotiate with my family and see how the Lin family deals with Lin Bingxue. If the Lin family pursues her, should I forcibly protect her... This is not appropriate."
Then, Xiang Chenyi changed the subject: "Xige, you should tell me first, why do you need me who has broken off the engagement with Lin Bingxue?"
He wanted to test Lin Xige's attitude and find out what she was trying to do.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that when he was in the living room, he did not pretend to be determined to stay with Lin Bingxue.
Otherwise, Lin Xige would not look for him.
Xiang Chenyi's gaze became more and more enthusiastic, with a hint of anticipation.
Lin Xige thought about what she was going to say next. Although she didn't want to face it, she had to bite the bullet and look into Xiang Chenyi's eyes.
"I want to divorce Mu Chaoran, and you," she said word by word, "can help me get a divorce."
He was stunned for a moment, but soon, Xiang Chenyi was overjoyed.
He was still worried that Lin Xige was already Mu Chaoran's wife, and if he wanted to get her... it was basically impossible.
Easier said than done.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity would come so soon.
Lin Xige actually wants a divorce!
Once she gets divorced, Xiang Chenyi can pursue Lin Xige!
He doesn't care about second marriage.
Anyway, he must marry the daughter of the Lin family!
His heart was as clear as a mirror, but he deliberately asked Chen Yi in confusion: "Me? How can I help you get a divorce?"
Haha, only Xiang Chenyi can do this.
Because he was the son-in-law designated by the Lin family.
And Lin Xige is the daughter of the Lin family.
With this relationship, Xiang Chenyi is Lin Xige's best reason and the most suitable shield.
