He Xiaoning groaned twice on the ground, struggled hard, and finally stood up by herself, "Lin Pei..." Her voice was filled with deep sadness, and then she choked with sobs, "This is the second time you've done this. I'm not saying you forced me to sleep with you, but just beating me up is the second time. I'm not saying you've been messing around outside, but anyway, I don't want to be mad at you anymore."
Lin Pei smiled bleakly, remembering the last time he pushed her onto the coffee table. If that was an unintentional mistake, then this time he really couldn't help but teach her a lesson. Lin Pei's eyes were filled with deep pain, "I gave you enough reasons for divorce, didn't I? He Xiaoning, all the mistakes were mine, I cheated on you, I abused you, you have no problem, I destroyed our family..." Lin Pei's words choked there, he stared at He Xiaoning, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his lips, "You may not know that when we went to Singapore, Qiao Yan and Ye Mi were still innocent, but... they will probably spend their honeymoon in Singapore next. He Xiaoning, you are still finished, and his heart doesn't belong to you now." After saying that, he left the house alone without caring about the woman whose arm was still bleeding. Today was a good day for him to get promoted, and his wife gave him the best gift. Originally, he was full of guilt, but when she pushed all the responsibility on him, he knew very well that this woman was selfish and did not deserve any sympathy.
He Xiaoning didn't care about his own injuries and leaned blankly on the kitchen sink. His mind was full of what Lin Pei said, that there was nothing between Qiao Yan and Ye Mi.
"Qiao Yan, I was wrong. I'm sorry." She couldn't help crying and felt ashamed of her choice back then.
The next day, He Xiaoning did not rest at home, but went to the company to ask for leave. The weather in June was already very hot in this city, but she wore a long-sleeved shirt to cover her arms wrapped in thick gauze.
When I went to the dispatch office to change shifts, I saw Qiao Yan getting the assignment book inside. He Xiaoning paused for a moment. Although he felt a little ashamed, he still unbuttoned his cuffs unconsciously, and the bandage inside was faintly visible.
When Qiao Yan walked to the door and saw her, he was stunned for a moment. Looking at the way He Xiaoning looked at him, he felt a little embarrassed, "You're here?!" After saying that, he felt a little bored.
He Xiaoning raised her hand to stroke her hair, but she frowned in pain halfway through raising her arm. She lowered her hand and put her other hand on her arm.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Yan frowned slightly, lifted her arm, and slowly rolled up the sleeves of her shirt, "How did you get hurt?"
He Xiaoning turned away and avoided his sight. "Don't embarrass me, Qiao Yan. I know now that there is karma in this world. I hurt you, so..."
Qiao Yan interrupted her, "Lin Pei hit you?" Qiao Yan suddenly noticed her slightly swollen cheek, and his expression turned ugly, "I'll go find him."
He Xiaoning held him, then let go, holding her arm with a painful expression, "Qiao Yan, please, don't go looking for him. We've come to the end. I plan to divorce him."
Qiao Yan was speechless for a moment. He stood there blankly, his brows furrowed even tighter. Looking at the tearful face of the woman in front of him, the soft spot in his heart vaguely ached. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Divorce is not a trivial matter. You must think it over carefully."
He Xiaoning hesitated for a moment, feeling a little nervous. "I have thought it through. If I don't leave him, I don't know what kind of treatment I will receive. I really can't live like this anymore."
Qiao Yan didn't know what to do. He looked at his time and said, "I'm going to have a preparatory meeting soon. You should go home and rest first. We can talk about anything after you feel better." After saying that, he turned around and left as if he was escaping. He didn't know what he was thinking. In short, he was very confused and had a bad premonition.
At noon, he and Ye Mi went to the restaurant for lunch. They were going to fly to Turkey together tomorrow. Ye Mi had been looking forward to the Aegean Sea for a long time. She had never thought about going there with her lover to spend a few happy days. Although it was only one day, she was excited enough.
Coming out of the restaurant, they saw Lin Pei standing in front of the large glass window of the airport from afar. Qiao Yan glanced at the person next to him and said, "Ye Zi, go home and prepare first, and help me pack my things. I have some other things to do." After saying that, he held her face and kissed her on the forehead.
Ye Mi glanced in the direction of Lin Pei, feeling a little nervous, but still nodded. Qiao Yan sent Ye Mi into the elevator and watched the elevator run, then turned around and went back to find Lin Pei. He was also a little hesitant, after all, it was a little unkind for him to say this.
"Lin Pei!" he called out.
Lin Pei didn't move, still folding his arms and facing the runway outside the glass curtain wall, but Qiao Yan believed that he heard it. The two stood like this for a long time, and then they heard Lin Pei's faint voice, "Are you here to confront me?" He turned around slowly. He had been up all night, his eyes were a little bloodshot, and his face was not very good.
Qiao Yan was frightened by his behavior and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Why aren't you talking?"
"Why do you want a divorce? Why do you beat her? You swore to me that you would make her the happiest woman in the world. You said you loved her more than I did. Have you forgotten all this?" He frowned and looked at his face.
Lin Pei's indifferent expression showed a little looseness, and he laughed at himself, "What would you do if a woman didn't care about you no matter what you did? Do you know how selfish that woman is?"
Qiao Yan couldn't believe it. "Lin Pei, I know you have always been dissatisfied with me. You are narrow-minded, but don't say that about Xiaoning. She is so pure and indifferent. She always thinks about others. You can say that she is not good here and there, but she is definitely not a selfish woman."
Lin Pei looked at him solemnly. After a long time, he said coldly, "Did you know that she wanted to divorce me?"
"I'm just telling you this. Do you know how much damage a woman suffers when she gets divorced? Only scumbags divorce their wives."
Lin Pei suddenly laughed out loud, making Qiao Yan feel a little embarrassed. He stepped forward and grabbed his collar, "What do you want? I won't let you hurt Xiaoning. You know, she left me just because she loved you. I begged her so much, and I trampled on my dignity. Do you know how painful it was for me at that time? You stepped on my dignity and pain to love each other, and now you are getting divorced? It's only been a short time, and your love that trampled on other people's feelings is gone?"
The more Qiao Yan spoke, the angrier he became. Although he was very happy now, it did not mean that he could forget the pain he had experienced. Lin Pei was very calm. He looked at Qiao Yan sarcastically, "You two are really a perfect match. You always think about yourself. Are you afraid that she will be hurt? If you marry her, she will definitely not be hurt." He said it easily, but Qiao Yan was furious. He loosened one hand and punched Qiao Yan.
Lin Pei stumbled, took a few steps back and leaned on the railing behind him. He wiped the corner of his mouth with one hand, "Alas, there is not even blood." He laughed. It was lunch time, and there were many people coming and going here. At this time, they couldn't help but stop and watch.
"Looking like you're in this state, I think there's really no need to insist on me any longer. The sooner you leave, the better." After saying that, he pushed through the crowd and walked out.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. In the afternoon, when Qiao Yan and Ye Mi were carrying their suitcases to board the plane, they heard the flight attendants talking about this matter. Ye Mi knew that she shouldn't talk about such things at this time. She was originally very excited because this was Qiao Yan's first flight as a captain and she was able to accompany him, but now she couldn't be happy. This was the news she least wanted to hear: He Xiaoning was going to divorce Lin Pei. But because of Qiao Yan, of course everyone would avoid telling Ye Mi about this matter.
After entering the cockpit, everyone began to make intensive preparations. The mechanical debugging was completed, the CDU input was completed, and everything was normal.
"Captain, the cabin equipment is in standby mode and all preparations are complete. May we board passengers?" The cabin crew chief sent a request.
"Okay!" Qiao Yan answered solemnly. He put down the receiver and turned back to look at the dazed woman. "What are you doing? Why are you still dazed at this hour?"
"Oh, sorry!" Ye Mi bowed quickly, with an uncomfortable look on his face, "I will pay more attention."
The co-pilot next to them glanced at the two of them and laughed, "You really have a clear distinction between public and private matters. Captain Qiao, don't start a fight with your wife right after taking office!"
Qiao Yan smiled awkwardly, but didn't know what to say. At this time, the cockpit called, "The cabin is ready."
"Got it." Qiao Yan put down the receiver and looked at the time. It was just right. He looked at everyone and asked, "Let's go?" This just relieved his embarrassment.
He put on his headphones, turned on the radio, and received weather information. "CRS6177, ready, requesting to push out. City C to Istanbul, ..."
Ye Mi looked at him, professional, handsome, and she was fascinated every time.
"FY3288, prepare for takeoff, runway 6R, wind direction 145 degrees, wind speed 2 meters per second, QNH 101 kPa, speed 270 km/h, take off."
"Altitude 1000 feet, altitude 2000 feet... Altitude 3000 feet, speed 600 km/h, retract landing gear."
He took off his headphones and breathed a sigh of relief. It was his first time sitting in this seat, so he was still a little nervous, or maybe it would be more appropriate to say excited. He looked back at Ye Mi, who smiled and gave him a thumbs up. Qiao Yan smiled, and this smile made her feel much brighter.
After the plane landed, the two did not return to the hotel, but directly boarded the flight to the Aegean Sea with their luggage. Time was too tight, so they had to seize the moment to be romantic.
When Lin Pei returned home, he saw He Xiaoning lying alone on the bed, his eyes closed, his face slightly red, and his breathing a little rapid. Seeing him like that, Lin Pei couldn't help but feel some hatred in his heart. He turned around and went into his study, and began to sit and smoke. He didn't know if he wanted to divorce. This was the woman he pursued desperately. For her, he didn't even care about her stains, but now he didn't know what to linger on. He didn't know if it was really the omnipotent time that wore away love, or the boring torture that extinguished hope. He also felt very tired.
He sat in the study for a long time. It was already dark outside, but He Xiaoning still didn't seem to wake up. He was a little puzzled and got up and went to the bed in the bedroom. "Xiaoning?" He reached out to push her, but her body was burning hot.
