Chapter 598 - 596: The Third Marriage

"Her surname is Qi, seven years younger than me. Let’s just call her Qi."

"I met Qi because of a business trip to the south."

"During that trip, after finishing business with the partner, I declined their arrangements and decided to drive out on my own."

"Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t kind, and it suddenly started raining halfway."

"Just when I was about to drive back to the hotel, I saw a young girl running in the rain."

"There was nowhere nearby to take shelter, so I stopped the car beside her and offered her a ride to escape the rain..."

Recalling the past, Xu Jie’s face showed a hint of nostalgia.

Smiling, he continued, "Naturally, this young girl was Qi."

"Qi kept thanking me, saying she left in a rush and forgot to bring an umbrella."

"I told her there was no need to be polite, then asked where she was headed so I could give her a lift."

"At first, she said it wasn’t necessary, she’d get off when the rain stopped."

"However, the rain just kept getting heavier with no sign of stopping."

"Her face was quite red with embarrassment, I can still remember that moment vividly!"

"At that time, I asked her again where she was going, and she blushingly mentioned a place."

"But since I was in a strange city, I didn’t know how to get there, so I asked her to guide me."

"When she found out it was my first time in the city, she told me about many famous spots and foods."

"Soon, our unfamiliarity vanished, and we chatted merrily, like old friends."

"During this time, I learned she wasn’t a local either, but was studying at the university there."

"After I dropped her off at the university, we exchanged contact information, agreeing she’d show me around the city the next day."

"During our time together, I felt truly happy, avoiding the usual awkwardness I felt with younger people."

At this point, Xu Jie paused habitually.

After taking a sip of water to soothe his throat, he continued, "The next day, she took me to many local attractions and we ate lots of local delicacies."

"On the third day, although I left the city, my connection with Qi remained unbroken."

"As time went on, not only did our feelings not fade, they grew stronger."

"At the start, I avoided it, since I was nearly twelve years older than her."

"But she’s a determined person, never giving up easily, even knowing I had been divorced twice."

"Under her persistent efforts, my long-closed heart began to thaw."

"I accompanied her during her last two years of college, and she stood by me as my company went from thriving to decline."

"Despite the many events in those two years, our feelings for each other seemed unchanged."

"After her graduation, I proposed, and she was so excited she cried."

"Naturally, we got our marriage license, and I stepped into the grave of marriage for the third time..."

The audience listening to Xu Jie’s story was filled with emotions.

"Did he end up divorcing Qi too?"

"I bet this third marriage also ended in divorce."

"I predict that although this was an example of an older man courting a younger woman, it didn’t end well."

"Such a wonderful girl, how did they end up divorced again?"

"What else could it be about? It must be because they’re unable to have children!"

"I hate to say this, but I feel like Qi might have been after Brother Xu’s assets."

"Brother Xu’s overwhelming generosity would surely impress a naive college girl."

"Forget college girls, even I’d get flustered meeting Brother Xu."

"Mind your gender!"

"Money isn’t the issue here. Brother Xu’s charisma and looks alone could captivate a college girl."

"That’s true, Brother Xu’s rugged charm is hard for young girls to resist."

"Sadly, Qi’s best efforts couldn’t overcome the issue of being unable to have children."

"Brother, you’re really obsessed with having kids!"

"Are children really that important? If you love kids, you could always adopt some!"

"Adopted children will never be the same as your own!"

"Then there’s no solution! Brother Xu is healthy, the women he was with, except for his second wife, were all fine, so why couldn’t they have kids?"

"That’s why Brother Xu adamantly wanted a child!"

"The more you lack something, the more you desire it; it’s human nature!"

"Damn it, if I had Brother Xu’s looks and charisma, I’d never worry about finding a girlfriend!"

"If I had Brother Xu’s background and wealth, having children wouldn’t matter..."

Xu Jie glanced at the comments briefly and smiled wryly, "You’re all correct!"

"In the end, Qi and I divorced."

"Afterwards, I concluded that the failure of this third marriage mainly stemmed from two reasons."

"The first reason, as everyone knows, was the inability to have children."

"Qi said she was young and wanted to enjoy a couple more years, not wanting children so soon."

"She’s young and has time, but I’m older and couldn’t wait any longer."

"This became a point of contention between us."

"Every time we discussed having children, it would end in a quarrel."

"And quarreling like that, even the closest feelings would fade."

With a sigh, Xu Jie continued, "The second reason was because of her college friends."

"After our marriage, she remained close friends with two college classmates and kept in frequent contact."

"Those two classmates also got married within half a year of graduation."

"Yet, within a year, both of them got divorced."

"Under the influence of these two friends, Qi began to change."

"I could clearly feel her increasingly bringing up the issue of security."

"At the time, I was quite curious about her idea of security?"

"She told me that with my wealth, looks, and charisma, it was easy to attract other girls, making her feel insecure."

"So, she asked me to transfer the house, car, and assets under her name."

"This way, even if I wanted to go off with another woman, I couldn’t afford to."

"After hearing her, I was puzzled as to why such an innocent girl had changed so much?"
