Chapter 193 Unraveling the Misunderstanding

Bai Quan walked to the sofa and was about to tidy it when she heard his words. She turned to look at him and replied vaguely, "I'll sleep on the sofa."

She had arranged the sofa, intending to sleep on it anyway.

Rong Beifeng's eyes darkened slightly. Thinking of her recent discharge from the hospital, his tone softened a little, "Sleep in the bed. You just got out of the hospital."

The distance in her eyes was particularly obvious, and he found it jarring.

Bai Quan looked at the man's handsome face. Was he concerned about her?

If it were in the past, she would have been overjoyed.

However, thinking about their impending divorce, she spoke politely and distantly, "No need. I'm much better now. It's getting late, you should go to bed."

She turned back and continued tidying.

Rong Beifeng's expression changed slightly. As Bai Quan was almost finished, she suddenly felt her feet leave the ground.

Looking up, she saw Rong Beifeng holding her.

A flicker of shock crossed her eyes, and she exclaimed incredulously, "Rong Beifeng, what are you doing? Put me down quickly."

Rong Beifeng carried her towards the bedroom, his stern features now showing displeasure, "You've just recovered, it's not suitable for you to sleep on the sofa."

Bai Quan was momentarily stunned. She was afraid that if she struggled too hard, she might injure herself, so she stopped moving and replied, "I already said I'm fine, and we're about to divorce..."

Before Bai Quan could finish her sentence, a strange look flashed in Rong Beifeng's eyes. He didn't stop, placed her on the bed, leaned forward, and stared at her with his dark eyes for a few seconds, "We are not divorcing."

Bai Quan looked up at the man, her heart pounding. Then she asked with surprise, "Why? If we divorce now, I can make way for you and Sun Liyan sooner."

Hearing her mention Sun Liyan, Rong Beifeng felt a sense of annoyance, "I have no relationship with her, we are just cooperating."

His cooperation with the Sun family was also nearing its end.

Bai Quan stared at him, remaining silent. Was he explaining himself to her?

Rong Beifeng looked at her alluring red lips, a strange feeling rising in his heart. Just as he was about to lower his head, he remembered something and stood up, "Go to bed early."

Bai Quan came back to her senses and saw that Rong Beifeng had already left the room.

She lay on the bed, unable to sleep well that night, her mind replaying Rong Beifeng's words.

In the middle of the night.

Bai Quan suddenly remembered that there were no bedding on the sofa in the living room. He might catch a cold.

She didn't want to bother, as she was no longer his wife. After some hesitation, she took a blanket and went out.

The living room was dark. She used the moonlight to see Rong Beifeng lying flat on the sofa, his legs dangling outside.

Bai Quan sighed, covered him with the blanket, and turned to leave.

After Bai Quan left, Rong Beifeng opened his eyes, looked at the blanket on him, and a slight smile touched his lips.

She was still awake, thinking of him.

Before, he had truly overlooked her.

He had always detested Bai Quan for using underhanded tactics to marry him, but when he heard her mention divorce several times, his heart ached.

Bai Quan lay back on the bed and finally fell asleep after a while.

The next day.

When Bai Quan got up to wash, she subconsciously glanced at the sofa. It was empty. Had he left?

She hadn't noticed at all.

Just as she was about to go to the kitchen, she suddenly spotted a note on the coffee table.

Bai Quan walked over, picked up the note, and read the cursive handwriting: "I received a call from the company about something to handle.

Regarding our divorce, I do not agree.

Bai Quan paused for a few seconds, her expression changing slightly. She couldn't describe how she felt. Marriage was difficult, and divorce was even more so.

In the afternoon.

Bai Quan planned to rest for a while before going to work. She didn't know if Rong Beifeng would come back tonight. After thinking about it, she spread out the cushions on the sofa.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Bai Quan walked over and opened the door to see Sun Liyan standing outside. She asked with some displeasure, "Is there something you need?"

Sun Liyan looked at the disgust in Bai Quan's eyes and said fiercely, "Bai Quan, didn't you say you wanted to divorce Brother Beifeng? Why haven't you divorced yet? Are you trying to use this trick to change Brother Beifeng's mind about you? You're shameless!"

"Are you done?" She didn't want to see Sun Liyan's jealous and frenzied mouth.

Sun Liyan was stunned, then a flicker of jealousy crossed her eyes, and she said angrily, "Bai Quan, don't think Brother Beifeng will fall for you. In his eyes, you're just a slut who got ahead through scheming. I advise you to be sensible and break off contact with Brother Beifeng as soon as possible."

Seeing Sun Liyan's incessant insults, Bai Quan said coldly, "Sun Liyan, we're not divorced yet, and you're already eager to take my place?"

Sun Liyan was so angry she retorted loudly, "Brother Beifeng and I are the most suitable for each other."

Bai Quan sneered, "I don't know if you're suitable or not, but if you want to take my place, you should go to Rong Beifeng, not throw a tantrum like a shrew here!"

Sun Liyan's delicate face contorted upon hearing this.

She was extremely angry now, "Who are you calling a shrew!"

Bai Quan glared at her, "Say one more word, and I'll make sure your face is swollen when you leave! Don't believe me, you can try!"

She had tolerated it repeatedly, but Sun Liyan was pushing her limits.

Sun Liyan's face turned ugly. She was furious and prepared to act, "You little slut, you've gotten too bold!"

Saying that, she reached out to grab Bai Quan's face.

Just as Bai Quan was about to retaliate, Rong Beifeng's voice suddenly came from not far away, "Sun Liyan, stop!"

Bai Quan was stunned and looked up to see Rong Beifeng, dressed in an expensive suit, slamming his car door and walking towards her.

Sun Liyan's expression changed. She turned and saw Rong Beifeng. Why was he here?

Before she could explain, Rong Beifeng glared at her fiercely, "Miss Sun, please be mindful of your status!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Liyan immediately spoke softly, "Brother Beifeng, I..."

Bai Quan didn't expect Rong Beifeng to come back.

Rong Beifeng looked at Sun Liyan's jealous face and said with even more disgust, "Miss Sun, Bai Quan is my wife. Our final cooperation is canceled!"

Bai Quan glanced at him. Were they really partners?

Sun Liyan panicked upon hearing that the cooperation was canceled, "Brother Beifeng, things are not as you think. Please let me explain."

Rong Beifeng gave her a cold glance, "Aren't you leaving yet!"

Sun Liyan was so scared that she couldn't speak. She glared at Bai Quan and hurried away.

Bai Quan felt a surge of satisfaction seeing Sun Liyan's predicament. She turned to go back inside. Rong Beifeng frowned, seeing her thinly dressed, "You came out wearing so little?"

Bai Quan looked down at her short skirt, not understanding what was wrong. She replied, "Is there a problem?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Beifeng took her hand and pulled her into the house, his face grim, "Don't you know you just got out of the hospital? What if you catch a cold?"
