She always remembered that evening before the wedding when her father called her into the study, his expression heavy as he said, "Munni, I don't want you to marry Yisen!"
"Why? Dad, don't you like Yisen too?"
Her father sighed deeply, worry spreading across his brows, "Yisen is an exceptional young man, it's hard not to like him. But... he is not suitable for you."
Qin Muni tightly pursed her red lips, stubbornly staring at her father without saying a word, yet her father could see all her dissatisfaction from the faint mist in her eyes.
Her father earnestly said, "I hope you can find a man who loves you, someone less privileged than us but ambitious and responsible. This way, even if he treats you badly in the future, I can confidently put him in his place. Even when I'm gone, and he bullies you, you will have enough assets and confidence to leave him.
Yisen... sigh, I'm afraid even if he neglects you, you wouldn't dare tell me. Even if you did tell me, I worry... considering Yisen's position as the company's chairman, I might not be able to stand up for you. I'm afraid you'll be wronged."
Every word was filled with paternal love and care for Qin Muni.
Qin Muni couldn't help but tear up, her throat tightened with a sour sensation.
Fatherly love is like a mountain, perhaps that's what it means.
Qin Muni, because of her deep love for Xu Yisen, ultimately ignored her father's advice and insisted on marrying Xu Yisen.
In the three years of marriage with Xu Yisen, they appeared inseparable in public, but in private, Xu Yisen was cold and almost indifferent to her.
Many times, she wished to live in the spotlight every minute and every second because only then would Xu Yisen always be good to her.
Yet reality would mercilessly bring her back from her dreams, painfully waking her up.
These days since her father's passing, she kept wondering if she had listened to her father's words back then and found someone who loved her, perhaps not as outstanding as Xu Yisen, would her life be happier now?
Silently, she told herself in her heart... let the Xu Yisen who doesn't love her go, this is also a liberation for herself.
The news of Qin Muni and Xu Yisen's divorce spread quickly, and both the media and online commenters expressed shock at the sudden split of this exemplary couple.
Not only them, but even the Xu Family was very surprised upon hearing the news.
Qin Muni and Xu Yisen told the Xu Family that they were splitting because of personality differences, and the separation was for the best.
As for the media, the two had not yet provided any response.
Qin Muni saw Xu Yisen two months after their divorce, meeting unexpectedly at a charity auction.
This auction was organized by their mutual friends, Liang Jiuchen and Liang Ziyuan, with all the items up for bid d by the guests, and all proceeds going to the orphanage.
Qin Muni originally did not plan to attend, but she could not resist the persistent invitations from Liang Jiuchen and Liang Ziyuan, so she agreed to contribute to their auction.
When Qin Muni arrived at the auction site, the event was about to begin. Before entering, she saw Xu Yisen talking with friends in the hallway. She gave him a polite smile and calmly walked past him, without even greeting each other.
The auction venue was already filled with many invited guests, and upon noticing Qin Muni's arrival, Liang Jiuchen approached her with a grave expression.
"Sister, what grudge do I have against you?" Liang Jiuchen finally released the resentment he had bottled up for more than a day.
