Chapter 94 I've wanted to divorce you for a long time
"After all, you're so busy, you probably don't want to put this off any longer, right?"
Huo Sili gazed intently at Jiang Qin, his thin lips pressed into a thin line.
So when he told her he didn't want to divorce her, she didn't listen at all.
Huo Sili suddenly laughed, his deep gaze enveloping her as if trying to see right through her.
"Jiang Qin, did you want to divorce me a long time ago?"
Jiang Qin's expression remained calm; at this moment, she no longer wanted to revisit her past with him.
She just wanted to get a divorce as soon as possible, because as she just said, getting a divorce these days wasn't easy, and she had to wait another thirty days.
Now it's October, a whole month has passed, and she still has three months left on her employment contract.
Jiang Qin recalled what Huo Sili had once said: "Treat others as they treat you."
"Yes, that's right, I've been thinking about it for a while."
This wasn't just talk; in fact, the seed of divorce had been planted in Jiang Qin's heart since that day a year ago.
She and Huo Sili had no emotional foundation to begin with; their marriage was a whirlwind romance.
Later, he treated her well, and she finally opened her heart. She and he had indeed been secretly married for four years, but for the first two years they were just getting to know each other. It wasn't until the third year that they started to fall in love.
If you think about it, she and Huo Sili have only been dating for a year, but that year has been incredibly sweet.
It was so sweet that when she recalls it now, it feels like a dream.
It's like a rainbow-colored, overly dreamy bubble that would burst with the slightest touch.
After Jiang Qin finished speaking, Huo Sili's gaze darkened even more.
But this time, Jiang Qin felt no fear, but instead suddenly felt a sense of pleasure.
She had actually kept this thought to herself for a year.
Previously, she always felt that her relationship with Huo Sili wasn't that bad, so even when that thought popped into her head, she quickly suppressed it. After all, how could she get a divorce?
At that time, she was unaware of Li Xueqian's existence, nor did she know that Huo Sili was using her as a substitute, so she always harbored a sliver of fantasy about the person in front of her.
She felt that he had been so good to her before, and perhaps he was just getting tired of the overly sweet married life. Once he felt less tired, perhaps they would go back to how they were before.
Back then, because she still liked him, she always tried her best to find excuses for the things he did that hurt her.
But in fact?
She witnessed the most incomprehensible marriages from birth, and from a young age, she was actually very resistant to the idea of marriage.
Therefore, after confirming her relationship with Horst, she cherished this relationship even more.
However, it was Huo Sili who opened her heart, and it was also Huo Sili who closed it.
Some doors, once closed, are not so easy to open.
Because she actually has control over the key.
She no longer loves him, so he no longer has the right to enter her heart.
This marriage should end here, Jiang Qin thought; this was probably the best ending.
……
The following day, Huo Sili and Jiang Qin returned to the state they had been in at the beginning of the Cold War a year ago.
Jiang Qin didn't seem to care about this. She ate her meals, slept when she was supposed to, and went to work as usual.
After finishing lunch, she continued working. Once everything was done, without any intention of stopping, Jiang Qin packed her things, grabbed her bag, and left work.
The old lady is going to have acupuncture today, but she said that she has been following her around a lot lately and is tired, so she doesn't need to accompany her today. She told her to finish her work early and go back to Yunhai Huafu to rest, saying that she and Sister Wu have already gone to the TCM clinic.
Uncle Yang and Jiang Qin had made prior arrangements, and the car arrived shortly after they got off. They got in and fastened their seatbelts.
Jiang Qin closed her eyes to rest, her mind beginning to carefully consider what would happen after she went abroad—
She carefully researched the company before submitting her resume.
Given the local laws and regulations, and the local people's mindset and culture, workplace discrimination against pregnant women is absolutely impossible. In addition, her job allows her to work from home, so there are no problems with her work.
Although she had been to foreign countries before on business trips, she wasn't particularly familiar with them. In addition, medical treatment and public transportation systems there were not as convenient as in China.
Right now, she's unsure when she'll get the divorce certificate or when she can leave, so...
She now needs to figure out how to solve and recruit the necessary things and people, such as renting an apartment abroad, hiring a driver, and finding a domestic helper.
Otherwise, if she continues to wait like this, things will pile up, and she'll be exhausted, not to mention whether she'll be able to finish them all.
After all, no one can say for sure what her condition will be like when she is four months pregnant, whether she will no longer have morning sickness or it will be more severe.
Therefore, these matters must be put on the agenda.
However, the most important thing is to apply for a visa first.
Jiang Qin opened her eyes, checked the time and calendar. It was Friday, and the embassy was still open.
However, she didn't put those documents in her bag right now; they were in her own safe at Yunhai Huafu. Going back would mean waiting in line, and there was clearly not enough time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qin quickly set up a schedule note to remind herself.
The embassy is closed on weekends, and she has a lot of work next Monday, so she probably won't have enough time to go there. Therefore, she'll have to go next Tuesday.
No, that's not right. Jiang Qin changed the time again.
I almost forgot, Tuesday is the Huo family's anniversary celebration, which is the annual meeting that Huo Sili mentioned before.
Going back to the point, he had said he would take her and the old lady to a physical dress shop in the next couple of days. I don't know if they will still go now. If they don't, that's fine. Right now, she really doesn't want to pretend to be a loving couple in front of the old lady anymore.
I'm afraid the old lady will be even more heartbroken when she finds out later.
Thinking about this all the way, the car arrived at Yunhai Huafu, and Uncle Yang's voice came through the communicator.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qin responded with an "okay," opened her eyes, unbuckled her seatbelt, and prepared to get out of the car, but before she could push open the door...
The door was suddenly pulled open from the outside.
Jiang Qin's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she met Huo Sili's exceptionally handsome, yet also exceptionally cold, face—a face she had only seen once today.
Jiang Qin was immediately stunned. When did he leave the president's office? She had no recollection of it at all.
Then she heard Horstley say to her, "Get in the car here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to go to the dress shop."
He looked into her eyes and said in a calm voice, "Grandma's here too, don't be late."
Jiang Qin raised an eyebrow, about to say something, when Huo Sili turned and strode into the house, leaving her with a cold back view.
