I Have Divorced Your Sister, Why Are You Not Leaving? - Chapter 8

Chapter 8. Li Mo’s Hug for Su Qingyan, I Promise You

Li Mo’s hug…

Could be described as incredibly tight.

For Su Qingyan,

She felt a warmth she had never experienced before.

She really liked…

This feeling…

Noticing the change in Li Mo, Su Qingyan’s delicate face grew slightly flushed.

She was already 19 years old— an adult.

Naturally, she understood that between a man and a woman,

If the feelings were mutual,

Everything would follow naturally.

He wouldn’t want to take things further with me today, would he?

“No, big brother-in-law…”

“We have to hold back.”

“After we get our marriage certificate, then I’ll give you a child.”

Su Qingyan was quite traditional at heart.

So, when it came to premarital behavior,

She found it very hard to accept.

Only then did Li Mo realize—

His instincts…

Had made this little girl misunderstand.

“It’s nothing, go to sleep.”

“I can’t take your money.”

“In the future… if you don’t want to leave, I can take care of you for the rest of your life.”

Li Mo let go of Su Qingyan,

But then saw the disappointment in her eyes.

“After talking for so long…”

“You still don’t want to be with me.”

“Do you really dislike me that much?”

Li Mo paused slightly,

Then…

He spoke very seriously.

“After all these years, our bond is deep.”

“If I said I didn’t like you,”

“That would be a lie… It’s just that I’ve always seen you as a little sister.”

“Such a sudden change would naturally feel strange.”

“Most importantly, you’re only 19.”

“I’ve been through that age too…”

“It’s a time of confusion about many things in life.”

“Some decisions are made purely on impulse.”

“I could be with you now,”

“But what if, five years later,”

“Or ten years later… you regret it?”

“You’re young, but I can’t be irresponsible.”

Hearing Li Mo’s words,

Su Qingyan’s tears began to fall, one after another.

“I just like you.”

“I’ll never regret it.”

“Since I was little, I’ve always been alone.”

“My mom ignored me, my sister ignored me.”

“Only after meeting you did things change.”

“Every time you saw me,”

“You’d take me out to play.”

“You always spoiled me.”

“Especially this past year in Shencheng,”

“You’ve taken care of me in every way possible.”

“I just like you. Now that you and my sister are divorced,”

“If I can’t be with you,”

“I don’t want to do anything anymore.”

As she spoke…

Su Qingyan began to cry, harder and harder.

In her heart…

She loved Li Mo desperately.

Before, she never dared to express it.

She thought this feeling might just remain a beautiful fantasy in her life.

But now…

Li Mo was divorced, and the emotions in her heart

Could no longer be suppressed.

“If we get together,”

“What will our relatives and friends think?”

“Your parents would never agree.”

“And my family…”

Li Mo’s words…

Seemed to go completely unheard by Su Qingyan.

Now, she was crying even harder,

As if imagining a future where she and Li Mo had no chance,

Her heart ached even more.

Watching her uncontrollable sobs,

Li Mo knew…

If he didn’t take a stand now,

He wouldn’t be much of a man.

“Alright, don’t cry.”

“I promise you.”

Li Mo gently ruffled Su Qingyan’s hair,

Still as doting as ever.

“You promise me?”

Su Qingyan wiped her tears.

“I promise you.”

“But let’s not rush into anything yet.”

“Take some time to calm down.”

“Summer break is coming soon.”

“You’ve been in Shencheng for over a year but haven’t really experienced real life.”

“I’m about to start my own business. When the time comes, you can join me.”

“I hope you can mature a little.”

“If you still feel the same way about me,”

“Then… no matter what obstacles come, I’ll be with you.”

Li Mo looked at Su Qingyan,

His eyes full of tenderness…

“Mhm…”

Su Qingyan nodded, finally agreeing.

Li Mo offering this arrangement

Was practically handing her the reins.

She knew very well…

Her feelings for Li Mo wouldn’t change.

Since he had said this,

It meant they were destined to be together.

Thinking of this…

A secret joy bubbled up in Su Qingyan’s heart.

“Keep this piggy bank.”

Su Qingyan picked up the piggy bank beside her,

Shoved it into Li Mo’s arms,

Then ran back to her room.

Now…

The shyness she felt

Was completely uncontrollable.

Earlier, caught up in the moment,

She had been bold enough to say all those things.

But now that she had calmed down…

Back in her room…

Su Qingyan flopped onto the bed,

Rolled over, and buried her face in her hands.

Her slender black-stockinged legs kicked restlessly.

Under the moonlight…

Su Qingyan’s mind kept replaying what had just happened.

The more she thought, the more embarrassed she felt.

……

Li Mo held the piggy bank,

Sitting by his bedroom window, gazing at the city’s glittering nightscape.

Though it was late at night…

Shencheng’s bustling streets never lacked people coming and going.

“So cold.”

“But also so warm.”

Su Qingyan was truly a girl untouched by worldly concerns.

Li Mo felt she was a treasure he’d cherish for life.

Recalling the scene from earlier…

The gloom of losing his job and going through a divorce

Completely vanished in that moment.

Li Mo suddenly felt a surge of motivation!

……

The Next Day.

Ma Tengyun woke up in his rented apartment,

His head pounding.

Normally, he was an introverted man

Who rarely drank…

But yesterday, he had downed so much.

He couldn’t even remember how much—maybe over a dozen bottles.

And he had chugged them straight from the bottle.

“Oh no…”

“I got too carried away yesterday.”

When that Li Mo mentioned investing in him,

He had felt like he’d found salvation.

So, in front of Li Mo, he had kept gulping down beers,

One after another,

Until he blacked out.

He had even insisted on paying the bill.

But now, thinking back…

Could he have just been bluffing?

After all, investing in his project required an initial one million yuan!

And Li Mo didn’t even drive a luxury car.

Could someone like that…

Really have a million to spare?

“I was an idiot.”

“But… I should still ask. With this internet industry downturn, finding an investor for instant messaging is nearly impossible.”

Ma Tengyun checked his phone,

Finding the new contact he had added the day before.

With some hesitation…

He dialed Li Mo’s number.

Soon…

The call connected.

“Hello.”

“Mr. Li, do you remember me?”

Li Mo’s voice came through clearly.

“Of course I do.”

Ma Tengyun cautiously pressed further.

“Then… do you remember what we discussed yesterday?”

If Li Mo said no now,

He wouldn’t argue—after all, there was no formal agreement between them.

“Of course I remember. Come meet me.”

“We’ll finalize the investment details today.”

Instantly…

Ma Tengyun felt a rush of adrenaline.

He wasn’t lying to me after all!
