At four in the afternoon, Lin Wanxi followed Lin Zhiguo to the teahouse.
Chen Xuan then drove over, and the three met in a private room.
"Chen Xuan, come sit, I just made some Biluochun." Lin Zhiguo greeted with a smile.
Chen Xuan nodded with a forced smile and went over to sit down.
A small square table, Lin Wanxi was on the left, Chen Xuan on the right, sitting face to face.
Lin Zhiguo sat between the two and spoke first, "Chen Xuan, I asked you here today to have a good talk about this matter."
Lin Wanxi lowered her head and remained silent, sitting there with a desolate expression.
Chen Xuan murmured, "Father-in-law, this matter is my fault towards Wanxi and I've let down your trust."
Lin Zhiguo waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry to admit fault, I'm not here to blame you."
"The matter has already happened, so let's face it and talk about the next step. Chen Xuan, what's on your mind?"
Chen Xuan smiled bitterly, "Father-in-law, I won't choose to avoid the problems that are mine."
"Though it was an accident, since it happened, I can't treat it as an accident, which would be unfair to Su Linlang."
"Is it fair to me then?" Lin Wanxi suddenly spoke coldly, harboring resentment.
Lin Zhiguo hurriedly waved his hand, "Wanxi, calm down first, remember what I told you on the way here."
"Dad, it's clear Chen Xuan doesn't want to give up Su Linlang, how can I remain calm?" Lin Wanxi said coldly.
Lin Zhiguo sighed slightly, "Chen Xuan, do you care so much about Su Linlang? Would you rather abandon Wanxi for her?"
Chen Xuan smiled wryly, "Father-in-law, I remember telling you before that I'm not the kind of man who is devoted to one woman, I get attracted to beautiful women, but I don't play with their feelings."
"I have already had a substantial relationship with Su Linlang, I must be responsible for her! This is the responsibility I must uphold as a man, I can't escape it!"
"Moreover, I want to tell Wanxi that this matter isn't about fairness to you."
Lin Wanxi frowned slightly, "What do you mean by that? Am I just a dispensable existence?"
Chen Xuan shook his head and laughed, "Wanxi, we only have the title of husband and wife, not the reality of one!"
"With our awkward marital relationship, to be honest, it's not even as good as a cohabitating boyfriend and girlfriend relationship!"
"Su Linlang lost her virginity to me, what would it mean to her if I'm not responsible? Is that fair to her?"
"Conversely, you're still a virgin, I owe you nothing, where's the unfairness to you?"
"Saying you're my wife is just a title, are we truly in a marital relationship? Have you ever sacrificed anything for me?"
At this point, Chen Xuan waved his hand, "I'm not here to air old grievances, just to state a fact, I owe Su Linlang, but I don't owe you anything!"
"You're outstanding, competent in many aspects. During our time together, I had already fallen in love with you and wanted to spend my entire life with you."
"I just didn't expect...it would end up like this, that we would come to this point! Whether you believe it or not, this is not the outcome I wanted to see."
As he said this, Lin Wanxi's face turned mournful, unable to respond.
Inside, a sense of regret emerged, a pain overtook her mind and body.
She realized that she had personally buried this beautiful relationship!
Lin Zhiguo hurriedly spoke, "Chen Xuan, you're a responsible man, which is commendable."
"But are you really going to divorce Wanxi like this? I believe you love Wanxi deeply, and equally, Wanxi has developed feelings for you, otherwise, she wouldn't be so heartbroken."
Lin Wanxi trembled as she kept her head down, her tears falling uncontrollably.
Chen Xuan sighed, "Father-in-law, my fate with Wanxi is heaven-sent."
"That jade pendant she holds is a family heirloom of the Chen Family! Initially, my mother planned to pass it to the future daughter-in-law for safekeeping, passing it down through the generations."
"But tragedy struck, my parents were killed...yet the jade pendant ended up in Wanxi's hands, and she liked it very much, and I happened to become her husband."
"I truly recognized Wanxi and wanted to cherish her for a lifetime. But subsequent events left me physically and mentally exhausted, and I ended up having a relationship with Su Linlang."
"I really don't know what to do..."
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Zhiguo said softly, "Here's what we'll do, don't bring up the divorce for now, give each other some time to calm down."
"Then consider how to resolve this matter."
"Okay, I'll follow father-in-law's arrangements." Chen Xuan responded, glanced at Lin Wanxi, his heart full of conflict, "I'll leave for now, call me if you need anything."
After Chen Xuan left, Lin Wanxi burst into tears on the spot, "Dad, it's my fault, I destroyed this relationship with my own hands..."
Lin Zhiguo was full of sorrow, "It's good that you realize your mistake, nobody is perfect."
Then his gaze became determined, "Leave this matter to me! For your and Chen Xuan's sake, I don't mind being the bad guy!"
"I'll go find Su Linlang later, talk to her privately, and make her voluntarily stay away from Chen Xuan!"
