Can We Say No to Divorce? Novel

Surgeon Gu Qingchen holds Bei Ran's fate on the operating table, his deep gaze betraying nothing—yet hours earlier, he'd thrust divorce papers into her hands. How dare he call her "honey" now?

In City A's elite circles, Gu Qingchen commands both the medical world and corporate empires, wielding influence that few dare challenge. He demanded only obedience from his wife, and Bei Ran delivered flawlessly for four years. But when he finally pushed for divorce, he discovered something far more valuable than compliance: a desperate need he couldn't shake.

A near-drowning at a wedding becomes his leverage. "Beg me," he commands, knowing she will—she always does. But this time, Bei Ran draws a line: "We're divorced, Gu Qingchen!"

His response cuts deeper than any blade: "You've hidden our daughter from me for five years. Do you truly believe I won't fight for her?"

The revelation stuns her—he knows. What torments him more, however, is discovering the boy who mirrors his own features with impossible precision.

"Five years of deception while you played the perfect wife," he murmurs, hunger darkening his eyes. "Tell me how I should make you pay, Bei Ran."

She remains silent about the second child, the son who wears Gu Qingchen's legacy in his face.

When school calls about a son dissecting poisoned animals with surgical precision and a daughter orchestrating stock trades, Bei Ran's patience shatters. "No one's driving you today. Take the bus."

The daughter seizes her chance, mentioning the elegant woman lingering in father's office, hemline scandalously high. The son counters: "The station manager held Mom yesterday, kissed her cheek, promised never to let go."

Two parents respond as one: "Manipulation won't work on us. Go catch your bus."

But as the twins disappear with their backpacks, Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen retreat behind closed doors. She ignites like wildfire: "An entire hour with that woman?"

His possessiveness blazes: "Tell me where he touched you, and I'll carve his name into his mouth with steel."
