Chapter 870: The Strategy of Retreat to Advance

Watching Zhong Yating, weak and frail against the headboard, her face still showing signs of illness, Huangfu Ruixiang couldn’t help but feel a moment of confusion. Simultaneously, he felt that proposing divorce at this moment seemed somewhat heartless.

“Um, you…” Huangfu Ruixiang hesitated, not knowing what to say.

“Ruixiang, I’m truly sorry.”

As Zhong Yating spoke, her voice trembled with tears, but her words were sincere. “Our marriage was built on deception. Since it began on the wrong foot, it’s time to end this mistake.”

If Zhong Yating had been hysterical and confrontational, Huangfu Ruixiang would have surely walked away. But seeing her now, a sense of pity involuntarily arose in his heart.

However, even so, his decision remained unchanged. It’s just that his demeanor softened considerably. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you what’s due. Even after the divorce, your life won’t be impacted. As for the child…”

Before Huangfu Ruixiang could finish, Zhong Yating spoke nervously, “Ruixiang, can I keep this child? If you don’t want to see him, I promise he won’t appear in front of you. Since we’re divorcing, I don’t want anything, I just want to keep this child. I know you don’t like me, but please, let me keep him!”

“Yating, don’t worry.” Huangfu Ruixiang stepped forward, gently supporting Zhong Yating. “I never considered asking you to abort this child. He’s not just yours, but also mine. I wouldn’t be so heartless. But, this child, I’m afraid you can’t take him away.”

If Zhong Yating wanted to keep the child, her parents would never allow her to take him. Though their marriage began with Zhong Yating’s deception, it was still a fact, making the child legitimate and a part of the Huangfu lineage. Her parents would never let her take him away.

After hearing Huangfu Ruixiang’s words, Zhong Yating’s face fell, but she suppressed her sadness. “Okay, I understand. But I hope to see the child in the future. He’s still my child, after all. I promise not to interfere in your life anymore, but I’d like to see him from time to time.”

“Of course.” Huangfu Ruixiang nodded. “You’re the mother, it’s your right. And…”

He glanced at Zhong Yating before continuing, “Do you have any other requests? As long as it’s within my power, I’ll agree.”

For some reason, seeing Zhong Yating like this made him feel indebted to her. Hence, he wanted to make amends.

Of course, if her requests were unreasonable, he wouldn’t agree.

“I have no other requests, just…”

Zhong Yating hesitated, then continued, “Can we wait until I’ve recovered before finalizing the divorce proceedings? This child wasn’t easy to conceive. I’m afraid something might happen. Once the child is stable, I’ll handle the paperwork with you immediately. Is that okay?”

“Of course,” Huangfu Ruixiang agreed without hesitation. “That’s only fair. Though I want a divorce, I’m not so urgent that I’d overlook your health. Plus, this child is mine too. I want him to be safe.”

Zhong Yating was moved by Huangfu Ruixiang’s words. “Ruixiang, thank you so much.”

After comforting Zhong Yating, Huangfu Ruixiang left the room.

As the door closed, Zhong Yating’s smile vanished, replaced by a cold expression. She knew Huangfu Ruixiang’s true nature well -gentle, but indecisive, easily swayed.

Just like how she once used every means to coerce Huangfu Ruixiang, but couldn’t soften him. However, now she was simply adopting a strategy of retreat to advance. After uttering a few conciliatory words, Huangfu Ruixiang’s attitude towards her had completely changed.

Though Huangfu Ruixiang’s attitude had softened, the decision to divorce remained unchanged.

Using this tactic could only delay for a few days. She had to use this time to plan. Otherwise, once she recovered, she’d have to divorce Huangfu Ruixiang.

And then, no one could help her.

With that in mind, Zhong Yating’s hand gently caressed her belly, a determined gleam in her eye.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying waited for Huangfu Ruixiang, already anticipating Zhong Yating’s refusal to divorce. So, they truly needed to put their heads together and figure out how to coerce Zhong Yating into agreeing to the divorce.
