Inside the cafe.

Lin Ximeng felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Getting humiliated wasn’t particularly pleasant.

And Qin Keqin didn’t offer her an easy way out.

Lin Ximeng spoke, “We were young then, unable to control our desires and did things that morality wouldn’t allow. We were passionate in love, and I can’t help it. I know I hurt you back then, and I felt very guilty, which is why I chose to leave for abroad, to be away from you both.”

“Didn’t Yin Bin arrange for you to go abroad?” Qin Keqin spoke calmly.

Even though her words were light, they were full of sarcasm.

Lin Ximeng’s face grew even more mortified.

She thought that for Qin Keqin to have claimed Yin Bin for so many years, this woman was surely not as simple as she assumed.

She spoke, “Regardless, didn’t I stay away and not bother you guys?”

“Yes.” Qin Keqin nodded, seemingly in agreement.

“But why can’t each of you just let go, given how bad things have been all these years?”

“Do you really think we’re not doing well?” Qin Keqin smiled.

From beginning to end, she remained calm.

So calm that Lin Ximeng could hardly grasp her emotions.

Lin Ximeng spoke, “If you guys were really doing well, would I still be by Yin Bin’s side?”

“Have you two slept together?” Qin Keqin suddenly asked.

Lin Ximeng was taken aback.

She never anticipated Qin Keqin would be so blunt.

“Of course, I don’t mind. Years ago you could climb into Yin Bin’s bed, and he could betray me. It’s not surprising he’d do it again. I just want to say, you couldn’t seduce him away back then, after all these years, Yin Bin might just consider you a bed partner. We’re not getting any younger, if you still want to waste your time playing such a game with Yin Bin, I really don’t care.”

“What are you implying!” Lin Ximeng’s face went pale.

“Didn’t you say that Yin Bin was a very traditional man with a strong sense of family responsibility? Since he refuses to shoulder any responsibility for you after sleeping with you, don’t you doubt his feelings for you?” Qin Keqin spoke with a pleasant smile, “I’m just reminding Miss Lin, although you’re over forty, you’re still a beautiful flower. In your current state, you could find a good man to spend the rest of your life with. But if you insist that Yin Bin is your ideal match, you can continue to be the third wheel, I truly do not mind…”

“Qin Keqin, watch your language.” Lin Ximeng suddenly exploded, “Who was the mistress?! Who was the mistress back then?! You used your family background to snatch him away, you were the mistress. You broke Yin Bin and me apart!”

Qin Keqin leisurely sipped her coffee, “So what? If you have the ability, snatch him back. What’s the use of venting your anger on me?”

“Qin Keqin.” Lin Ximeng gritted her teeth.

“I’ll pick up the tab for today’s coffee, consider it your fee.” Qin Keqin took out several banknotes from her wallet.

Lin Ximeng was so angry that her body was shaking.

“Xiaolang, let’s go.” Qin Keqin calmly spoke as she got up.

Xiaolang followed suit.

Lin Ximeng merely watched as Qin Keqin left, her elegant and composed demeanor.

She chuckled sarcastically.

She grabbed Qin Keqin who was about to leave.

Qin Keqin turned to look at her.

The next moment, Lin Ximeng slapped herself hard.

Qin Keqin frowned, a bit confused at that moment, only to hear Lin Ximeng wailing, “Even if I was wrong, even if I shouldn’t like Yin Bin, you can’t just hit me like this…”

Luo Xiaolang was also dumbfounded at this moment.

What was happening?! The woman in front of him just slapped herself?

Does anyone actually do this kind of self-abuse?

All of this was making Luo Xiaolang extremely baffled.

He watched as Qin Keqin raised her hand and slapped Lin Ximeng’s face hard.

Clearly, in that instant, Lin Ximeng was completely startled.

She looked at Qin Keqin with wide eyes.

Qin Keqin spoke, “If you want to be hit, just say the word, I’m glad to help.”

Lin Ximeng instantly looked pitiful, her cries making her appear incredibly frail, “I live in Jin City, I also have parents, how could I not come back…”

Qin Keqin had a cold expression.

Not only was it aimed at Lin Ximeng, but also at Yin Bin.

Ever since she saw Lin Ximeng slap herself, she knew that Yin Bin must have arrived.

“What’s happening?” Yin Bin’s expression was dark.

Qin Keqin sneered, “Isn’t it just as you saw? Lin Ximeng confessed her feelings for you and asked me to let you go. But me, being petty, couldn’t accept it and ended up slapping Lin Ximeng. Now, I’ve vented enough. You can properly console your Lin Ximeng.”

After speaking, Qin Keqin, hand in hand with Luo Xiaolang, turned to leave.

“Qin Keqin.” Yin Bin caught her hand in his.

Qin Keqin met his gaze defiantly, “What? You want to slap me back?”

“What exactly is going on?” Yin Bin demanded forcefully.

“Let go!”

“Qin Keqin, speak up! Why did you hit Lin Ximeng?”

“I told you to let go!” Qin Keqin gritted her teeth.

Yin Bin’s complexion was extremely ugly as he reluctantly let go of Qin Keqin.

Qin Keqin prepared to leave with Luo Xiaolang.

“Qin Keqin, what do you consider me to be? Is it so difficult for you to provide an explanation? Just say it, and I will believe.”

Qin Keqin’s departing steps suddenly halted.

She hesitated for a moment before turning back, “Not difficult. In front of Lin Ximeng, we may as well clear everything up once and for all.”

Yin Bin stared at her.

So did Lin Ximeng.

She knew that Yin Bin wasn’t so indifferent to Qin Keqin. That’s why she intentionally staged today’s scene, wanting Yin Bin to witness her being wronged, to awaken his compassion and thus offering her a chance to grow closer to him.

For a long time, Yin Bin had kept his distance. Recently, he even started avoiding her. Today, she played sick to have Yin Bin pick her up, with the aim of inciting conflict between Yin Bin and Qin Keqin.

“We’ve been wasting each other’s time for so many years, and I’ve grown tired. And I’m sure you’ve had enough too,” Qin Keqin said bluntly. “Let’s make it clear now. I will divorce Yin Bin. You can live your lives however you wish, and from now on, we’ll go our separate ways. Lin Ximeng, go ahead and make every effort to find excuses for your dramatic love story. I won’t have to waste my time dealing with you.”

Lin Ximeng felt a hint of joy, yet she dared not utter a word.

She looked up at Yin Bin with a pitiful expression.

Looking at Yin Bin whose expression turned even darker, Keqin coldly questioned, “So, you’re dying to divorce me?”

“Yes.” Qin Keqin responded, very clearly.

Yin Bin scoffed, “Qin Keqin, you really never cease to amaze me. When I saw you hitting Lin Ximeng earlier, I was even wondering if you were showing concern for our marriage by lashing out at Lin Ximeng. I asked you for an explanation, any explanation would have been acceptable, but, as always, you leave me in despair.”

Qin Keqin just looked at Yin Bin, not speaking, showing no emotion.

“I thought that after all these years of living under the same roof, we would have formed some bond. I didn’t expect you to be so decisive. I guess I had too high expectations of you.”

Qin Keqin remained indifferent.

It seems like no matter what Yin Bin says, she remains emotionless.

“Fine. You want a divorce, right? Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now!” Yin Bin suddenly declared, with a firm tone.

Qin Keqin raised her eyebrows, “Are you sure?”

“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?” Yin Bin retorted sarcastically.

“Fine then. Take care of your Lin Ximeng. I’ll wait for you at home.” Qin Keqin agreed in one breath, even graciously giving him some alone time with Lin Ximeng.

Yin Bin’s face grew darker as he watched Qin Keqin.

Qin Keqin turned around, and walked away with Luo Xiaolang.

When had he ever maintained any dignity in front of Qin Keqin!

“Yin Bin,” Lin Ximeng clung to him tenderly, “don’t be sad. I will accompany you from now on.”

Yin Bin’s face had turned even more ugly.

He shoved Lin Ximeng away.

Lin Ximeng looked at him somewhat awkwardly.

“I have a clear understanding of what kind of person Qin Keqin is. She would neither bother nor stoop to hit you.”

“Yin Bin, don’t you trust me? Our separation over the years has truly widened the gap between us…”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you. I just understand too well the nature of Qin Keqin’s feelings for me.”

She would never lose her temper over his so-called other women.

She would be more than happy to have him follow other women, the farther away from her, the better.
