The chopsticks fell to the ground with a clatter. Gu Peifeng had a dull face and looked at his little dad and father at a loss.
Admiral Gu suspected that he had heard wrongly and rubbed his ears.
Even though Gu Tunan had expected it, when he heard his little dad say it himself, he still showed a little gaffe.
The only ones who remained calm at the dinner table were Li Songyun and Gu Mian.
Gu Mian sat motionless in his seat, not even blinking. Time had not left many traces on this alpha. He was wearing a military uniform, with a cold expression, and his gray-blue eyes had a look of arrogance that belonged exclusively to the elite.
Li Songyun looked at Gu Mian and thought, after so many years, the way this man looked at him had never changed. Even when he heard his request for divorce, his eyes did not change.
On the contrary, he had to use all his strength to hold his head high and maintain his final dignity.
Li Songyun knew very clearly that he was not truly peaceful at this moment, and he also clearly understood that only by cutting off the bond with this person could he achieve spiritual peace.
He would suffer accusations, incomprehension and even malicious arrangements from all aspects of this society, but it didn’t matter. As long as he could escape from this person’s cold eyes and break away from the vortex of rational and emotional struggles, he could accept all the voices from the outside world.
Looking at Gu Mian who was still expressionless, Li Songyun took a deep breath and said softly: “I don’t need property, I just want Xiao Feng’s custody rights.”
After being the daughter-in-law of the Gu family for so many years, he had saved some money, which was enough to take good care of him and Gu Peifeng.
“Xiao Li, what are you talking about?” Admiral Gu said in shock: “You want to divorce Gu Mian?!”
Li Songyun nodded.
“Are you crazy?!” Admiral Gu wanted to say something more, but Gu Tunan said: “Grandpa, this is a matter between my father and my dad. It is their marriage. We should not interfere.”
“Shouldn’t we intervene?!” Admiral Gu slammed the table and said, “I’m Gu Mian’s father! Am I not in charge of this family anymore?”
The dining table was accidentally overturned with such force and the food fell to the floor without anyone even taking a bite.
Looking at his furious grandfather, his indifferent father and his little dad who was about to leave the house, Gu Peifeng cried out in fear.
In the farce-like environment, Gu Mian remained motionless, like an iron sculpture.
Li Songyun’s trousers were splashed by the spilled hot porridge. He thought this was a bit troublesome. Should he change his pair of trousers before leaving?
He was thinking this in his heart, but you couldn’t tell from Li Songyun’s expression that he was thinking about such trivial things. He said to the silent Gu Mian: “I have printed out the divorce agreement and put it in our bedroom. I know you will definitely put forward some amendments. So you can find a lawyer to draw up a divorce agreement that satisfies you in the next few days.
“I only want Xiao Feng’s custody rights, and you can decide the other aspects of the agreement.”
After Li Songyun finished speaking, he still stared at Gu Mian silently. He didn’t say a word, as if he had acquiesced.
In fact, according to Gu Mian’s thinking, it must be reasonable to agree to divorce. Gu Mian just needed an obedient and easy-to-handle Mrs. Gu. If he didn’t become this Mrs. Gu, there would be more young, beautiful, obedient and sensible omegas competing for the job.
And he didn’t fight for the family property. All he wanted was the custody of a beta child. He gave birth to three alphas for Gu Mian. But he only wanted to take one beta child out of the house which would not cause any other loss to the Gu family except face.
Li Songyun waited for a while and saw that Gu Mian still didn’t speak. He stood up and said politely: “Then I’ll leave first. We can discuss the specific content of the divorce agreement over the optical brain.”
After speaking, Li Songyun was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, his wrist was suddenly held tightly by Gu Mian, “Don’t leave.”
Gray-blue eyes stared at him paranoidly, and Gu Mian, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: “Li Songyun, I don’t allow you to leave.”
It was said in a stern tone.
It was more like an order than an invitation to stay.
Li Songyun wanted to break away, but the alpha’s strength was astonishing, and his broad palms remained motionlessly covering his skin.
“Are you still dissatisfied with the divorce agreement? I told you, I only want Xiao Feng’s custody rights.” Li Songyun gritted his teeth and tried to break away from Gu Mian’s hold, “If you are worried about the Gu family’s face, you can blame all the faults of the marriage on me, and I will not spread any negative remarks about the Gu family…”
“Father! You are hurting him!” Gu Tunan rushed forward and tried his best to open Gu Mian’s hand.
A blue handprint was left on Li Songyun’s slender wrist, which was shocking.
Only then did Gu Mian realize that he had lost his composure. He didn’t know what to say, he didn’t know how to look into Li Songyun’s eyes that could easily hurt him, and he didn’t know what he was thinking at the moment.
He watched Li Songyun hold his head high and leave the house without any regrets, never looking back from the beginning to the end.
His father was angry, Xiao Feng was crying, and Xiao Nan chased his little dad out. Everyone was talking and moving, but he was the only one who was frozen in place.
He stood there for a long, long time. After all the mess in the house was cleaned up, Gu Mian slowly turned on the optical brain and called Lieutenant General Mo.
“Hello? Is it Lao Gu? Why did you think of calling me so late at night?”
He heard himself say: “Li Songyun is angry.”
….
“Little dad, where are you going if you don’t stay at home tonight?” Gu Tunan checked the time and said, “It’s very late. It’s not safe for you, an omega, to go out at night. I’ll take you wherever you want to go.”
Li Songyun was a little cold. The night breeze made him very cold, and his trousers were still stained with the cooling condensation from the porridge, and he felt that he must look very embarrassed at this time.
“Go back to Li’s house.”
Gu Tunan opened the car door and helped Li Songyun in. Li Songyun’s pale face showed a sickly blush under the car lights. Gu Tunan suddenly realized that her father was still having a fever at this time, “Is the antipyretic medicine left at home, little dad, let me help you get it—”
“Don’t go back!”
Li Songyun tremblingly grabbed Gu Tunan’s hand. Only when this trembling hand touched Gu Tunan did he realize the meaning of fragility concealed by manners.
“Let’s go quickly.” Li Songyun urged softly.
At this moment, Gu Tunan suddenly felt like punching Gu Mian hard and then slapping himself.
How far had they pushed his little dad over the years?
Gu Tunan used his greatest strength and the gentlest force to gently remove Li Songyun’s hand, “Okay, let’s leave now.”
The hover car started quickly, and the scenery outside the car window blurred into an indistinct black mass. The Gu family was thrown into the deep darkness of night, it seemed as if he had merged with the overwhelming shadows, entangling him with bared teeth and claws.
Li Songyun stretched out her hand to cover the bruised finger marks on his wrist. They were dazzling and painful, as if they were the marks left by Gu Mian on him.
It’s okay, it’s okay, you have already brought it up, you can definitely leave him.
Gu Tunan looked back at Li Songyun worriedly. He noticed that his father’s fingertips were trembling uncontrollably, like some kind of trembling animal.
Disobeying the order of an alpha who had marked him for life, even if that alpha did not release hid pheromones, the omega would feel great psychological pressure.
“Little dad, Tang Bai broadcast live today. Do you want to watch the replay of his live broadcast?” Gu Tunan knew that his little dad liked Tang Bai very much. He said personally that when he saw Tang Bai, his mood would get better.
Li Songyun nodded slowly.
The light screen was cast into the void. Although the little omega in the picture was wearing a hospital gown, he was full of energy. His amber eyes were filled with a pool of morning dew, reflecting the clear light. When he smiled, he smiled continuously. The long eyelashes were too sweet, and the darkness entrenched in the car seemed to fade away in an instant.
“I don’t want to be a househusband at all, not at all. I also want to advise all the omegas who are watching my live broadcast. If you have a choice, you must not be a househusband.”
“I do not discriminate against househusbands, I am an omega, I know that doing housework is hard. Although I have never raised a child, I have taken professional courses and know how difficult and hard it is to raise an excellent child.”
“It’s a pity that only we know this. Most of the alphas don’t know. They only know that they are making money outside to support their families, and you are staying as beautiful as a flower at home. Oh, if you can’t be responsible for your beauty, you will waste your time in daily necessities and become a yellow-faced queen, then they will choose to change to an omega who is as beautiful as a flower, so you need to arrange your time management in marriage, take care of your family while improving yourself, and always be considerate, tolerant, beautiful and elegant.”
Tang Bai said the reality in the sweetest tone: “But in their hearts, you are a nanny, a chef, a childcare provider… The focus of your life always revolves around your family. You have paid a lot, but they do not realize your value. This means for them you have no value, you have only moved yourself.”
“Without wealth and career, what is the difference between you and a pet that depends on others? Without respect and equality, what is the difference between a marriage and a tomb that imprisons freedom?”
The bright, sweet voice floated like cotton candy, like the holy voice of an angel falling with the bright sunlight: “If you have the ability to change your life, please take the initiative in your life into your own hands. Don’t choose to rely on others forever.”
Li Songyun looked at Tang Bai’s image without blinking, as if to draw warmth and strength from this child who was like a little sun. He listened to Tang Bai describe the future in a soft and almost coquettish tone: “Think about what else you want besides being a househusband.”
“The ideal that once made your blood boil.”
“The ambition to fight against society.”
“The unyielding resistance to fate.”
“And the strength and confidence from the heart.”
Li Songyun stared blankly at the Tang Bai in the void, his fingertips that had been shaking unconsciously calmed down, and his cracked heart seemed to be filled with something warm and positive that could not be described in words.
Tang Bai in the live broadcast replay continued: “But most omegas don’t have a choice. We go to the etiquette academy and the education we receive is how to become an excellent househusband. I hope the federation can ensure that omegas enjoy equal cultural and educational rights with alphas and betas…”
“Ding dong~” the message prompt sounded. It was an inquiry from Lieutenant General Mo, asking him why he suddenly wanted a divorce.
“Because I want to be Li Songyun, not anyone’s vassal.” He replied.
