"Qin Chu and I..."
"That's your business, Miss Ruan."
Song Heqing waved his hand, cutting off Ruan Xingyao, "I don't want to know what your relationship with this Mr. Qin is. Even if there is a relationship... unless you contend for custody with me, I won't use this against you."
...Ruan Xingyao stared at him blankly for a long time, then shook her head and said, "Song Heqing, you've changed so much I don't recognize you."
"Miss Ruan, people grow."
Song Heqing extended his hand and shook hers. "It's a pity our marriage has come to an end, but I still wish you find a good partner soon."
"You..."
Ruan Xingyao's lips moved slightly, but in the end, she said nothing.
"Tomorrow at nine in the morning, we'll meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Song Heqing chuckled, "That agreement is still valid, but the premise is that you don't contend for custody with me."
"Okay, but I want to see Xiao Yuan every weekend," Ruan Xingyao said through gritted teeth.
"That's only right, you're her mother."
Song Heqing gestured for the two of them to leave.
"Ruan Ruan, I'll take you back," Qin Chu said, wincing.
"No need, Su Qing is coming to pick me up."
Ruan Xingyao shook her head, then glanced at Song Heqing again before picking up her small bag and leaving.
"Ruan Ruan, wait for me!"
Qin Chu glared at the smiling Song Heqing, then quickly chased after her.
After they left, Song Heqing looked at the mess on the floor and finally sighed.
"Song Heqing, you're really crazy."
...He sat quietly in the living room and smoked a cigarette, then knocked on Song Xiaoyuan's door.
Zzzzt!
The door opened.
"Daddy..."
Song Xiaoyuan threw herself into his arms.
"Are you hungry? Do you want me to take you out to eat something?"
Song Heqing rubbed her head.
"Mommy said no eating after eight in the evening," Song Xiaoyuan said, rubbing her tummy.
"Your mom is right, but what she says doesn't count now."
Song Heqing picked her up, put her on his shoulders, and walked towards the door.
Song Xiaoyuan seemed to be "riding a horse" for the first time, holding his head tightly and laughing non-stop.
The two went down the elevator and out the door, only to see Qin Chu and Ruan Xingyao still standing downstairs, and beside them, there was a girl even more beautiful than Ruan Xingyao.
If Ruan Xingyao was the type of delicate beauty, then this girl was the type of beauty that could bring down kingdoms.
No derogatory meaning, she was truly beautiful.
A bit taller than Ruan Xingyao, she wore a black short-sleeved top and a black short skirt with open-toed high heels. Even though it was summer, she exuded an aura of "do not approach."
"Where are you going at this hour?"
Ruan Xingyao walked over.
"Just strolling around. Why haven't you left yet?" Song Heqing smiled.
"Song Heqing, what's wrong with you?"
The beauty walked over, her voice cold. "You and Ruan Ruan have been together for so many years. When you encounter problems, you solve them... Do you really have to go as far as divorce?"
"Only problems that can be solved are called problems. But if there are problems that can't be solved... then you solve the person who raised the problem, right?" Song Heqing chuckled.
"You..."
The beauty was speechless.
"Su Qing, stop wasting words with him. I think he's crazy!" Qin Chu said angrily. "Song Heqing, I'll settle this score with you slowly... just you wait."
"Hmm, I have a few solo photos of you, I'll post them at your company's entrance," Song Heqing teased.
"You..."
Qin Chu's face changed drastically.
"Song Heqing, don't mess around. Qin Chu is the company president. If you cause such a scene... how can he go to work?" Ruan Xingyao said with a stern face.
"Ruan Ruan..."
Su Qing frowned and tugged at her.
"Miss Ruan, words said three times lose their flavor... Goodbye."
Song Heqing politely nodded to her, then took Song Xiaoyuan and walked out of the residential area.
"Mommy, goodbye!"
Song Xiaoyuan turned back and called out, then hugged Song Heqing's head again.
"Sigh."
Su Qing sighed, "Ruan Ruan, come stay with me for a while... This matter needs to be thought through slowly, don't rush."
"No, Su Qing... whose side are you on?" Qin Chu said angrily. "How much does Song Heqing earn in a month? Six thousand, and this house is still mortgaged. Look how long it's been since Ruan Ruan bought new clothes?"
"I don't want to talk to you, shut up."
Su Qing glared at him, then looked at Ruan Xingyao.
"He asked me to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for divorce tomorrow at nine."
Ruan Xingyao turned her head away.
"He... he asked you out?"
Su Qing's eyes widened.
"Yes, he asked me out."
Ruan Xingyao sighed, "Susu, you know... he has no ambition. After coming home, besides washing clothes and cooking, he just watches TV."
"With a man like this, I really can't see a future with him. My work is very tiring, and I don't want to be this tired. I also don't want to live a life consumed by trivialities."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened... Su Qing remained silent.
Song Heqing's personality indeed lacked ambition.
"Come stay with me for a while, my place is also close to your company."
"Susu, thank you."
Ruan Xingyao reached out and hugged Su Qing.
Qin Chu, on the other hand, gritted his teeth in hatred, but everything was still not too late.
Song Heqing originally thought Song Xiaoyuan would be difficult to handle, but unexpectedly, this girl, despite being just over four years old, was very self-reliant.
After the two went to the noodle shop at the entrance and ate two bowls of wontons.
Song Xiaoyuan asked Song Heqing to run her bath water. She brushed her teeth and bathed herself, then climbed into bed to read a picture book, falling asleep shortly after.
Song Heqing looked at the broken chair fragments in the living room and couldn't help but sigh. He'd better find a cleaner to tidy up tomorrow.
Just as he was thinking this, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Repayment reminder.
Mortgage, two thousand six a month, due the day after tomorrow.
"Mortgage?"
Song Heqing laughed wryly.
Hum!
Suddenly, his head felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.
"The host does not belong to this era. Activating the Auxiliary Lottery System. Note: The auxiliary system is to better help the host integrate into this world."
"Complete tasks to earn points, points can be used for lottery draws."
"Occupation: Food Delivery Driver."
"Task: Five thousand orders."
"Note: Unit price multiplied by ten, rewards provided by the system."
..."What the hell?"
Song Heqing looked bewildered.
He, a dignified Golden Tripod Award winner, was supposed to deliver food?
Who was this looking down on?
With this time, he might as well research financial modeling.
"Hum."
His brain vibrated again.
"Newbie Reward: Three free lottery draws."
As Song Heqing was in a daze, an electronic screen appeared in his mind.
Various rewards were dazzling: growing taller, increasing charm, ten million in cash... everything imaginable.
He had initially been dismissive, but when he saw the ultimate grand prize, he was completely stunned.
"Join the ranks of immortals."
Just these four words left Song Heqing frozen in place.
No way?
Becoming an immortal? Is it real or fake?
