Taking on a Wife at a Hefty Price

At eighteen, she didn’t love him, but had no choice but to marry him. After their wedding, he sent her away, claiming it was for her studies, when in truth he couldn’t stand her. He said, “Go to England and study far away. Don’t come back without my permission!” At nineteen, she secretly returned home. Her boyfriend had just gotten out of prison and wanted to elope with her, but he dragged her back and punished her with a cold expression. “Luo Shitan, you’re my wife, Qi Ji’s. Since you married me, don’t even think about betraying me!” At twenty, she gave birth in a crude worksite shed, while he searched the whole world for her, believing she was dead. At twenty-seven, she had transformed into a formidable professional. She returned home for only three things: 1: Divorce. 2: Investigate the case of her husband’s mistress, who was pregnant when she jumped to her death, taking both her and the baby’s lives. 3: Get revenge. But the man who had ignored her for eight years refused to sign the divorce papers, no matter how firmly he clenched his jaw. And as she investigated the case, she gradually uncovered her husband’s mysterious past. * Little scene 1: “Qi Ji, if you still refuse to divorce me, I’ll reveal your secret to the whole world…” With her back against the wall, she threatened him. “I’ll divorce you, but you have to leave the boy with me!” What? How did this man know she had a son? “He’s my adopted son… He has nothing to do with you…” “An adopted son is still a son, and part of our marital property. If you want a divorce, I want the boy. That’s fair!” Oh, thank goodness. He still didn’t know the boy was his biological son. “What will it take for you to divorce me? Lay your cards on the table!” “Give me a daughter. Then I’ll give your adopted son back to you, and we’ll get divorced…” He calmly threw out this demand. Damn it, she was about to lose her mind! * Little scene: One day, a little boy pointed at the man in a magazine and asked, “Tan Ma, is this my good-for-nothing dad?” “Sorry, I don’t know him!” The little boy pouted, swiped his iPad, and brought up a photo. “Then who’s the man on this marriage certificate?” Tan Ma put her hands on her hips and glared. “Tell me, who let you rummage through my things? Who let you take a secret photo?” “Tan Ma, please don’t change the subject. I’m just using evidence to prove you’re lying…” The little boy brought up a recording of her on the phone, too: “I absolutely can’t let Qi Ji find out about Xiaobai. I have to get divorced!” The little boy’s ear was immediately pinched. “You little brat! You installed a wiretap on my phone again…” Good heavens, having a genius baby is such a thankless job. With genes this good, should she find his father and have another baby, a little sister to drive this brat crazy? * Recommended: The Impostor Wife Is a Mystery http://novel.hongxiu.com/a/855314/
