âYou think Iâm worthless now, that you marrying me only benefitted me. You refuse to help me, so you started it. All I did was tit-for-tat. If I hadnât been forced into it, would I have gone and slept with an old man?â Lu Qi fumed.
âWhy can you have affairs and be unfaithful to me, and I canât? You can fool around outside but expect me to be faithful to you?â Lu Qi got more agitated the more she spoke.
What was this impossible dream?
She had said so much.
Perhaps sheâs just wishing to raise a small nugget of guilt in He Zhengbai.
Alas, not only did he not reveal any guilt, he even looked extremely impatient.
Hearing Lu Qi say all of this made him annoyed.
Seeing him like this, Lu Qi finally gave up all hope.
âMy condition, firstly, is for you to delete all those photos of mine.â
âDeal.â He Zhengbai spoke instantly and without fuss.
Lu Qi knew what He Zhengbai was thinking.
Modern technology was nothing like in those times when analog cameras were used.
Analog cameras in the past had films.
Destroying the films was enough for oneâs peace of mind.
But the Internet was so developed now.
He could pretend to have deleted all the images on his phone completely, but who knew how many cloud backups he had?
How could she trust He Zhengbaiâs word that heâd completely delete them?
Lu Qi already had a countermeasure in mind, and she said, âI donât trust you one bit these days.â
He Zhengbai didnât back down, sneering back, âWeâre the same.â
Lu Qi smiled disparagingly. âDivorce? Okay. Itâll be the day before you and Sun Jingfei marry.â
Lu Qi thought for a moment then added, âIf she still agrees to marry you.
âIf Sun Jingfei doesnât want to marry youâ¦â Lu Qi smiled. âThen you just wait. Until she agrees to do so, or until you find someone who will, I promise, weâll divorce the day before you register your marriage.â
âImpossible!â He Zhengbaiâs face was stern. âYouâre too much!â
Divorce the day before he marries?
How could she think of that!
What if she refused?
Then he couldnât get married, and itâd be a whole lot of other trouble.
Now he would have to depend on her goodwill if he wished to remarry.
And if others found out about his relationship with her, then his relationship with another would be an extra-marital affair.
This condition was very disadvantageous to him all around.
How could he agree to this?
âSince I really canât trust you anymore,â Lu Qi said, âhow can I really believe youâve deleted the photos? That thereâs not a trace left? What if you lie to me, and I trusted you and divorced you, then you turn around and expose the photos? Where do I air my grievances then?
âSo, weâll divorce only on the day before you register your marriage with your girlfriend. By then, if you really dare to post the photos, Iâll show the divorce certificates. Thereâll be a date of registration on it. No matter what, itâs impossible for you to have just divorced and instantly meet your true love and
marry her the next day, isnât it?â
Lu Qi pursed her lips. âAt that time, everyone will know youâve had an extramarital affair. As long as you donât post those photos, I wonât reveal the certificates.â
Lu Qi already expected his reaction.. Seeing He Zhengbai about to speak, she cut in, âI now, you wish to say, what if I donât keep my promise and show the certificates after you get married?â
