Chapter 447

"Yes."

The assistant respectfully responded, then turned and left.

Su Qing stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the endless stream of vehicles below, her gaze obscure and uncertain.

She suddenly felt that life was truly ironic.

Once, she had loved this man so deeply, even willing to give up her own life for him, but in the end, it was nothing but a joke.

Now, her love for him had long since vanished; she even wished she had never met him, yet he insisted on clinging to her, refusing to let go.

"Ding—"

Her phone rang, interrupting Su Qing's thoughts.

She came back to her senses, walked over, picked up her phone, glanced at the screen, and then answered.

"Hello?"

"Qingqing, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

On the other end of the line was her mother's concerned voice.

"Mom, I'm fine, just a bit of a cold." Su Qing tried hard to make her voice sound normal.

"It's good that you're fine. Mom hasn't been feeling well lately. The doctor said I need more rest, so I can't come home for now."

Su Qing's grip on her phone tightened slightly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She knew her mother was lying to her again.

Last time, she said the same thing, only to secretly undergo surgery alone in the hospital.

This time, she didn't know what excuse her mother would invent, or what trouble she would get herself into.

"Mom, you..."

Su Qing was about to say something when her mother interrupted her.

"Alright, alright, Mom knows you're worried about me, but I'm really fine now. You don't need to worry about me, just take care of yourself."

Her mother's voice sounded a bit weak, and Su Qing's heart suddenly ached.

"Mom, what's really wrong? Are you sick again?"

"No, I'm really fine. It's just my old ailment acting up. A few days of rest will fix it."

"Mom, don't lie to me, are you again..."

"Qingqing, stop talking. Mom doesn't want you to worry. Just focus on your work, don't mind me."

Her mother's voice grew hurried, and Su Qing's mood sank with it.

She knew something must have happened to her mother.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be acting so unusually.

"Mom, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Su Qing's voice trembled slightly.

"It's nothing, really nothing. Don't worry, Mom will be home soon."

Her mother's voice sounded somewhat perfunctory, but Su Qing's heart was gripped by a sharp pain.

She knew her mother was definitely hiding something from her.

And it must be related to her.

"Mom, tell me, did Qin Hao go looking for you again?"

Su Qing's voice suddenly rose, laced with anger.

"Qingqing, don't talk nonsense, Qin Hao, he..."

Her mother's voice was flustered, and Su Qing's heart sank.

As expected, it was Qin Hao.

Besides him, who else would push her mother to this point?

"Mom, tell me, what does Qin Hao want? Is he threatening you again?"

Su Qing's voice had a hint of a sob.

"Qingqing, don't say that. Qin Hao didn't threaten me, he just... he just wanted me to persuade you..."

Her mother's voice grew fainter and fainter, eventually becoming almost inaudible.

Su Qing's heart, however, throbbed with intense pain.

She knew her mother was lying for that man again.

That man was simply a devil.

He not only ruined her life but also intended to ruin her family.

"Mom, you don't need to say anything more. I understand."

Su Qing's voice was soft, yet it carried a hint of resolve.

She knew she couldn't let her mother suffer for her any longer.

"Qingqing, what are you going to do?"

Her mother's voice held a trace of panic.

"Mom, don't worry about me. I'll take care of everything."

Su Qing's voice was calm, terrifyingly so.

She hung up the phone, her eyes cold.

Qin Hao, since you refuse to let go, I will make you truly despair.

Su Qing left her office and walked directly to the CEO's office.

She pushed open the door and saw Qin Hao sitting at his desk, his face grim.

"Qin Hao, let's talk."

Su Qing's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable tone.

Qin Hao looked up, saw Su Qing, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Su Qing to come to him voluntarily.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Qin Hao's voice was a little hoarse.

"Let's talk about our marriage."

Su Qing's voice was soft, yet it exploded like a bomb in Qin Hao's heart.

Qin Hao's face instantly turned pale.

"You..."

He was about to say something when Su Qing interrupted him.

"Qin Hao, let's get a divorce."

Su Qing's voice was calm, yet tinged with despair.

Qin Hao's body trembled violently, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What did you say?"

He thought he had misheard.

"I said, let's get a divorce."

Su Qing repeated, her eyes holding a hint of coldness.

Qin Hao's face instantly turned ashen.

"Su Qing, don't joke around!"

"I'm not joking, Qin Hao. I've had enough. I don't want to be entangled with you like this anymore."

Su Qing's voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of exhaustion.

Qin Hao's body stiffened in place, his eyes showing a trace of pain.

He knew Su Qing wasn't joking.

She truly wanted to divorce him.

"Su Qing, tell me, have you fallen in love with someone else?"

Qin Hao's voice trembled slightly.

A flicker of sarcasm crossed Su Qing's eyes.

"Qin Hao, do you think I could still fall in love with someone else? My life was ruined by you long ago. Do you think I'm still qualified to love anyone?"

Su Qing's voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of despair.

Qin Hao's heart constricted sharply, and his face instantly turned pale.

He knew Su Qing was telling the truth.

He had ruined everything for her.

"Su Qing, I..."

He was about to say something when Su Qing interrupted him.

"Qin Hao, let's get a divorce. It's better for everyone this way."

Su Qing's voice was soft, yet it carried a hint of exhaustion.

Qin Hao's body stiffened in place, his eyes showing a trace of pain.

He knew Su Qing was determined to divorce him.

"Su Qing, tell me, have you fallen in love with someone else?"

Qin Hao's voice trembled slightly.

A flicker of sarcasm crossed Su Qing's eyes.

"Qin Hao, do you think I could still fall in love with someone else? My life was ruined by you long ago. Do you think I'm still qualified to love anyone?"

Su Qing's voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of despair.

Qin Hao's heart constricted sharply, and his face instantly turned pale.

He knew Su Qing was telling the truth.

He had ruined everything for her.

"Su Qing, I..."

He was about to say something when Su Qing interrupted him.

"Qin Hao, let's get a divorce. It's better for everyone this way."

Su Qing's voice was soft, yet it carried a hint of exhaustion.

Qin Hao's body stiffened in place, his eyes showing a trace of pain.

He knew Su Qing was determined to divorce him.

"Su Qing, I won't divorce you."

Qin Hao's voice was firm.

A trace of mockery flashed in Su Qing's eyes.

"Do you think I'm out of options if you refuse to divorce me?"

Su Qing's voice was soft, yet it carried a hint of ruthlessness.

Qin Hao's face instantly turned pale.

He knew Su Qing wasn't joking.

She would truly do things that would make him regret.

"Su Qing, don't do anything reckless."

Qin Hao's voice held a warning.

"Me, reckless? Qin Hao, do you think I still fear you?"

Su Qing's voice was soft, yet it carried a hint of mockery.

Qin Hao's face instantly turned ashen.

He knew Su Qing truly wasn't afraid of him anymore.

In her eyes, there was no fear, only bone-chilling coldness.

"Su Qing, you..."

He was about to say something when Su Qing interrupted him.

"Qin Hao, I'm telling you, if you refuse to divorce, I'll tell the media everything about us."

Su Qing's voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of ruthlessness.

Qin Hao's body trembled violently, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How dare you!"

He hadn't expected Su Qing to be so vicious.

She actually dared to threaten him!

"Why wouldn't I dare? Qin Hao, do you think I still care about you? I've lost everything. What else is there for me to fear?"

Su Qing's voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of despair.

Qin Hao's heart constricted sharply, and his face instantly turned pale.

He knew Su Qing was telling the truth.

She had nothing left. What else did she have to fear?

"Su Qing, don't push me!"

Qin Hao's voice held a warning.

"Push you? Qin Hao, you're the one who's always been pushing me!"

Su Qing's voice suddenly rose, her eyes filled with anger.

Qin Hao's face instantly turned ashen.

He knew Su Qing was telling the truth.

He had indeed been pushing her.

From the day she married him, he had been forcing her.

Forcing her to love him, forcing her to bear his children, forcing her to give up everything.

He thought that as long as he kept pushing her, she would eventually love him.

But he was wrong.

He pushed her further and further away, until she was completely despaired.

"Su Qing, don't say that. I love you, I've always loved you."

Qin Hao's voice held a trace of pain.

A flicker of mockery crossed Su Qing's eyes.

"Love? Qin Hao, do you think you love me? If you loved me, would you treat me like this?"

Su Qing's voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of despair.

Qin Hao's body trembled violently, his eyes filled with pain.

He knew Su Qing was telling the truth.

He truly didn't love her.

He was just too possessive; he merely wanted to keep her by his side.

But he hadn't expected to push her further and further away.

"Su Qing, I was wrong, I was truly wrong. Please give me another chance, okay? I promise to treat you well from now on."

Qin Hao's voice was pleading.

A flicker of scorn crossed Su Qing's eyes.

"A chance? Qin Hao, do you think there's still a chance between us? Do you think I'll ever believe you again?"

Su Qing's voice was soft, yet it carried a hint of despair.

Qin Hao's face instantly turned pale.

He knew Su Qing wouldn't give him a chance.

He had hurt her too deeply.

"Su Qing, don't be so heartless. We were husband and wife, after all."

Qin Hao's voice was bitter.

A flicker of mockery crossed Su Qing's eyes.

"Husband and wife? Qin Hao, do you think we're still husband and wife? Do you think there's any affection left between us?"

Su Qing's voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of despair.

Qin Hao's body trembled violently, his eyes filled with pain.

He knew Su Qing was telling the truth.

There was no affection left between them.

Only hatred.

"Su Qing, I..."

He was about to say something when Su Qing interrupted him.

"Qin Hao, I'm telling you, if you refuse to divorce me, I will die right in front of you."

Su Qing's voice was soft, yet it carried a hint of determination.

Qin Hao's body trembled violently, his eyes filled with terror.

"Su Qing, don't do anything reckless!"

He hadn't expected Su Qing to be so extreme.

She actually dared to threaten to die in front of him!

"Me, reckless? Qin Hao, you're the one who pushed me to this point! You're the one who made my life worse than death!"

Su Qing's voice suddenly rose, her eyes filled with anger.

Qin Hao's face instantly turned ashen.

He knew Su Qing was telling the truth.

He had indeed pushed her to the brink.

"Su Qing, don't say that. I was wrong, I was truly wrong. Please give me another chance, okay? I promise to treat you well from now on."

Qin Hao's voice was pleading.

A flicker of scorn crossed Su Qing's eyes.

"A chance? Qin Hao, do you think there's still a chance between us? Do you think I'll ever believe you again?"
