Chapter Ninety-Six: Restoring Former Glory

Jiang Hao said nothing more and quickly set off after her.

As she pushed the divorce agreement through the service window, Su Qingli said, “I’m preparing to leave the Su family… yes, I mean severing ties. From now on, I won’t have any dealings with anyone from the Su family, and I’ve already resigned from our family’s medicinal herb sales company.”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao was even more astonished.

Su Qingli was actually cutting ties with the Su family!

It seemed that after everything the Su family had done before, and after their disgraceful conduct at the banquet, Su Qingli had finally seen them for what they were and decided to leave.

Moreover, Su Qingli had been a department manager at the Su family’s medicinal herb sales company. It wasn’t a high-ranking position, but it was still far better than being an ordinary wage earner.

Yet she had chosen to resign, which only proved how determined she was to break away from the Su family.

“Then how will you live from now on?” Jiang Hao asked after a moment’s thought.

“I rented a shop in the city center. It’s being renovated now, and it’ll be finished soon. In a few days, my health food store will open,” Su Qingli said faintly, as though speaking of something that had nothing to do with her.

A health food store?

Was Su Qingli going into business?

For a moment, Jiang Hao did not know what to say, so he forced out, “Then… I wish you great success.”

Su Qingli gave no reply.

By then, she had already pushed both documents through the window.

Unexpectedly, the clerk inside did not even look at them before shoving both divorce agreements back out.

“Do you people even know what time it is? The sun’s already gone down, and you’re still coming to get divorced? You really know how to pick your timing! We’re off work. If you want a divorce, come back tomorrow!”

With that, the clerk stood up at once, took off the uniform, removed the badge hanging on the chest, tossed it aside, and then left with several other staff members, laughing and chatting among themselves.

Su Qingli froze.

Jiang Hao had not expected such an accident either.

He hurriedly called out, “Wait, hold on, we’re in a hurry!”

The clerk turned back impatiently, said with irritation, “How urgent can you be? Is there really any difference between divorcing a day earlier or a day later? If you can’t stand being together that much, why did you marry in the first place? Come back tomorrow, tomorrow!”

Jiang Hao felt somewhat awkward.

Saying nothing further, he picked up the two divorce agreements and said to Su Qingli, “Since that’s the case, let’s come again tomorrow and handle the divorce then.”

Su Qingli nodded.

After all, the staff had gone off duty, so there was truly no way to proceed today. They could only wait until tomorrow.

“I’ll keep the divorce agreement for now. Tomorrow I’ll call you and come pick you up here for the formalities,” Jiang Hao said after a moment of hesitation.

At this point, he no longer carried the icy impatience he had shown when facing Li Xuefei.

After all, since they were going to divorce, it was best to part on good terms.

“No need to pick me up. I’ll come by myself,” Su Qingli said calmly, then turned and walked toward the entrance of the hall.

Watching her figure disappear beyond the doors, Jiang Hao could not help but let out a sigh.

He did not know why he sighed, but he did feel a strange melancholy.

He had been saying all along that he wanted a divorce, but now that it was truly happening, his mood was unexpectedly complicated.

After leaving the hall, Jiang Hao got into his Bugatti Veyron and returned to the villa in the eastern suburbs.

That night, he did not even have the appetite for dinner.

He went straight back to his room, got into bed, and lay down.

In Nanyang, the provincial capital.

Inside a grand villa, Bai Qiming hastily finished his work and rushed back to his room without delay.

A gorgeous middle-aged woman was seated at the vanity, applying moisturizer to her face.

“Darling…”

With a grin, Bai Qiming came up behind her, wrapped his arms around her, and his hands began wandering over the heavy fullness of her chest.

Blushing deeply, the middle-aged beauty said with embarrassed annoyance, “What’s your hurry? Go shower first.”

“Why shower? I’m clean enough.”

As he spoke, Bai Qiming lifted her up and hurled her heavily onto the bed.

This middle-aged beauty was none other than Bai Qiming’s lawful wife, Bai Zhihui.

They had been married for many years, yet for a long time Bai Qiming had not touched her at all.

For reasons no one could explain, however, ever since Bai Qiming had gone with his father to Mapleleaf City and brought back Bai Tianyu, he had suddenly rekindled his passion and was nearly bedding Bai Zhihui every night.

Sometimes it was not even once, but several times in succession.

Bai Zhihui had even begun to worry about Bai Qiming’s health, after all, he was no longer young.

Yet to her surprise, after she specially arranged for a doctor to examine him, the doctor said that Bai Qiming was in excellent health, even better than some young men, especially in that particular regard.

This made Bai Zhihui both delighted and pained.

Because she felt she could no longer quite endure the overflowing affection her husband poured upon her.

“You… take it easy…” Bai Zhihui frowned, her voice strained between discomfort and pleasure.

Bai Qiming was drenched in sweat, yet his body never stopped moving, and his face was full of delight and excitement.

The large Simmons bed for two kept shaking, creaking incessantly, as though it could no longer bear the strain and might collapse at any moment.

With every forceful thrust, Bai Zhihui felt as though she were about to be split open. She truly could not hold on any longer and cried out angrily, “What do you take me for… some tool for your release? Go find your little mistresses, then! I’m done serving you!”

“So that’s what you said. Then if I go find little mistresses in the future, you can’t scold me anymore.”

Bai Qiming said this with a roguish smile.

At this moment, there was not a trace left of the authority he had shown before Bai Tianyu.

“You wouldn’t dare!”

Bai Zhihui immediately changed her tune and put on a fierce, watchful expression.

But that serious look did not last long before it collapsed, because the sensation Bai Qiming gave her was simply too intense.

Two hours later.

Bai Zhihui lay on the bed, her body like a puddle of mud, unable to move.

Bai Qiming, however, remained vigorous and full of life, as though he could still fight on for another two hours.

“My lady, are you satisfied?” Bai Qiming asked proudly, holding Bai Zhihui in his arms.

Blushing furiously, Bai Zhihui said, “You rascal, you nearly killed me… How did you get so strong? Did you take something?”

Bai Qiming answered at once, “I did take something, but don’t worry, it’s nothing strange. It was medicine specially prepared for me by Mr. Jiang from Mapleleaf City.”
