The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

"Wenping, I’m sorry, but I can’t agree to your request,"

Facing Pei Wenping’s angry gaze, Chen Yi gave a wistful smile, "You want a divorce, you no longer wish to continue living with me. As you desire, I will leave."

"Xiaolu and Xiaochao are still young, and our parents can’t accept it for the time being. Call me selfish if you will, but I hope you can continue to stay in this house. At the very least, let’s not divorce right now."

"I’m going to Shanghai City. A friend of mine has established a film company there and has invited me several times. If you agree, I will resign tomorrow."

"I will try my best not to appear before you in the future. You can stay in this house, and mom and dad can help take care of the children."

After a night of reflection, Pei Wenping agreed to Chen Yi’s proposal.

Living apart is not much different from divorce, but it would be easier for the children to accept.

After a few years, when the children are older, it would not be too late to proceed with the divorce formalities.

...

Chen Yi did not go back on his word and, half a month later, he was on his way to Shanghai City with his suitcase in hand.
