Chapter 2673: The Greatest Man of the Century
For the next few minutes, Cheng Fei behaved like he was the greatest man of the century.
He insisted that he had no regrets about marrying Ai Yun.
He even made a promise to Professor Ai. “Don’t worry, Dad. I promise to take good care of Ai Yun.”
Ning Shu coldly watched the show. It didn’t matter; she wouldn’t be living with Cheng Fei anymore, anyway.
If Cheng Fei really loved her, would he really sew a tracker into her wound?
Wounds were very susceptible to infection. A body would reject things that didn’t belong in it and cause an infection.
What if the infection got serious enough? Cheng Fei would’ve made her an amputee.
Regardless of whether Ai Yun’s parents agreed to their divorce or not, Ning Shu refused to ever live with Cheng Fei again.
What if Cheng Fei knocked her out with a needle the moment she turned her head away?
Cheng Fei was a doctor. He had the means to obtain these kinds of things. He even had a clinic of his own.
He could take whatever he wanted from the clinic.
Professor Ai sighed. “Cheng Fei, I know that you are a good man. However, if there really is something wrong with Ai Yun, then the two of you should get a divorce.”
Cheng Fei was dumbfounded.
Even Ning Shu was a little surprised. Professor Ai seemed to really like Cheng Fei, so why did he suddenly allow the divorce she demanded?
Mother Ai wanted to say something. Her lips parted, but not a single word came out of her mouth.
Cheng Fei frowned. In a panic, he asked, “But why, Dad? Please don’t take Ai Yun away from me.”
Professor Ai took the papers and stood up. He patted Cheng Fei’s shoulder. “I have always regarded you like my own son, but now that something like this has happened to Ai Yun, I think the two of you should get divorced. I don’t want my daughter to become a burden to you.
“You might have no complaints now, but what about in the future? You can take care of Ai Yun for a year, but what happens in five or ten years? One day, you will get tired of her. I don’t want Ai Yun to have no one to rely on once I pass away. Even more so, I don’t want anyone to mistreat her.”
Ning Shu: I was wrong. I wasn’t adopted. You’re really my real father, Dad…
“But I can, Dad. Whether it’s for ten years or a thousand years, I will take good care of Ai Yun, really, I can swear it.” Cheng Fei anxiously grabbed Professor Ai’s hand. “Dad, I beg you. Please leave Ai Yun in my care.
“I won’t ever complain. As long as I get to see Ai Yun, I will feel happy. It’d hurt me less to die than to divorce,” Cheng Fei sincerely said. “In this life, I must have Ai Yun by my side.”
Ning Shu: …
So heartfelt. So… creepy.
Professor Ai turned to look at Ning Shu. “This is your life, so you have to decide for yourself.”
Cheng Fei stared at Ning Shu. Through his eyes, he pleaded to her; his eyes were glazed with tears like he was about to weep.
Facing Cheng Fei’s eyes, Ning Shu suddenly felt guilty.
She was very moved, but she still resolutely refused him. “Cheng Fei, I think my father is right. I don’t want you to think badly of me in the future and tarnish the good memories we have. So, let’s get a divorce.”
“Ai Yun,” Cheng Fei’s voice trembled as he called out to her. “Please… Please don’t do this to me…”
Ning Shu turned her gaze away from Cheng Fei’s frail and pitiful appearance. With her suitcase already in her hand, she said, “Mom, Dad, let’s go.”
Mother Ai glanced at Cheng Fei. She didn’t seem like she really wanted to go, but she left anyway.
The three were entering the elevator when Cheng Fei suddenly ran out. He pulled Ning Shu out of the elevator. He pulled her into his arms and tightly hugged her.
“Ai Yun, if it’s the cameras that make you unhappy, I can get rid of them all. I will never do such things again. Can you forgive me just this once? Just this time, Ai Yun, alright?”
Ning Shu, who had slammed into Cheng Fei’s embrace, felt her head ache so badly from the impact. Hearing Cheng Fei’s begging words made her speechless.
To have a man so lovestruck and affectionate should be a good thing, but Ai Yun said that this husband of hers killed her.
