Chapter 105
Chopsticks fell to the ground with a snap, Gu Peifeng looked blankly at his little father and father with a blank face.
Admiral Gu suspected that he had heard wrong and rubbed his ears.
Even though Gu Tunan had expected it, he was still a little out of sorts when he heard it from his little dad's own mouth.
Li Songyun and Gu Mian were the only ones who remained calm at the table.
Gu Mian sat motionless in his seat, not even blinking, the years had not left much of a mark on the alpha, dressed in a military uniform, his expression cold, his gray-blue eyes with the arrogance of the elite.
Li Songyun looked at Gu Mian, he thought, so many years have passed, this person looked at him in the eyes but never changed, even heard his request for a divorce, eyes are not much fluctuation.
Instead, it was him who had to use all his strength to hold his head high and preserve his last vestiges of dignity.
Li Songyun knows very well that he is not really at peace at this moment, and he is also very conscious that only by cutting off the ties with this person, he will be able to gain peace of mind.
He would be subjected to accusations, lack of understanding, and even malicious editorializing from every aspect of this society, but it didn't matter, he could accept any voice from the outside world as long as he could escape from the cold eyes of this man and break free from that whirlpool of rational and emotional struggle.
Looking at Gu Mian, who was still expressionless, Li Songyun took a deep breath and said softly, "I don't want property, I just want custody of Xiao Feng."
He had been Mrs. Gu for so many years and had saved up some money, enough to take care of himself and Gu Peifeng.
"Xiao Li, what are you talking about?" Admiral Gu was shocked, "You're divorcing Gu Mian?!"
Li Songyun nods.
"Are you crazy?!" Admiral Gu wanted to say something else, but Gu Tunan spoke up, "Grandpa, this is a matter between both Little Dad and Father, it's their marriage, we shouldn't interfere."
"I shouldn't interfere?!" Admiral Gu slammed the table, "I'm Gu Mian his old man! It's your grandfather! Am I not in charge of this family?!"
The tremendous force inadvertently overturned the dining table, and the untouched bite of rice fell to the ground in a sparse manner.
Gu Peifeng cried out in fear at the sight of his angry grandfather, his indifferent father and his young father who was leaving the house.
In a farcical environment, Gu Mian remains motionless, like a statue made of iron.
Li Songyun's pant leg was splashed by the spilled hot porridge, he thought it was a bit of a nuisance, should he change his pants before he left?
Thinking so in his heart, Li Songyun's demeanor couldn't tell that he was thinking about these fine things, he said to the silent Gu Mian, "I've already printed out the divorce agreement and put it in our bedroom, I know that you're sure to propose some modifications so you can get a lawyer to draw up a divorce agreement you're satisfied with in the next few days. "
"I just want custody of Xiao Feng, and the rest of the agreement is up to you."
After Li Songyun finished speaking, he saw that Gu Mian was still staring at him in silence, not saying a word as if he had acquiesced.
In fact, according to Gu Mian's thinking, agreeing to divorce is very reasonable, Gu Mian just need a obedient and good to hold Mrs. Gu, he does not do this Mrs. Gu, there are many young and beautiful obedient omega rushed to be.
And he's not fighting for the family fortune, all he wants is custody of a beta child, he gave Gu Mian three alpha's, he's only netting out with a beta child, and won't be causing the Gu family anything other than loss of face.
Li Songyun waited for a while longer, and seeing that Gu Mian still didn't say anything, he stood up and politely said, "I'll leave you to it then, we can discuss the specifics of the divorce agreement on the lightbrain."
Li Songyun was ready to turn around and leave, just then his wrist was suddenly clutched tightly by Gu Mian, "Don't go."
Gray-blue eyes staring at him paranoid, Gu Mian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "Li Songyun, I won't allow you to go."
Cold tone.
More like an order than a retention.
Li Songyun tried to break free, but the alpha was incredibly strong, his broad palms rippling over his skin.
"Is there something else you don't like about the divorce settlement? I said that I only want custody of Xiao Feng." Li Songyun gritted his teeth and tried to break Gu Mian's hand, "If you're worried about the Gu family's face, you can put all the faults of the marriage on me, and I won't spread any unfavorable remarks about the Gu family ......"
"Father! You're hurting little father with your grip!" Gu Tunan rushed up and it took all his strength to break Gu Mian's hand.
Li Songyun's slender wrist was left with a bruised fingerprint, a shocking sight.
Gu Mian realized that he had lost his temper, he didn't know what to say, how to meet Li Songyun's eyes that could easily pierce him, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.
He watched as Li Songyun, with his head held high, left the house without a second thought, never looking back.
Father was fuming, Xiao Feng was crying, Xiao Nan chased after him, everyone was talking and moving, but he was the only one frozen in place.
He stood for a long, long time, long enough for the mess in his house to be cleaned up before Gu Mian sluggishly opened his lightbrain and punched up a communication to General Mo Zhong.
"Hello? Is this Lao Gu? What made you think of calling me at night?"
He heard himself say, "Li Songyun is angry."
*
"Little dad, where are you going tonight if you're not staying at home?" Gu Tunan looked at the time, "It's late, it's not safe for you to go out at night as an omega, I'll take you wherever you want to go."
Li Songyun was a little cold, the night's blowing him cold, and his pant legs were still stained with cooled and congealed porridge; he felt like he must be woefully out of shape at this time of night.
"Go back to the Lees."
Gu Tunan opened the door of the car and helped Li Songyun to go in. Under the car lights, Li Songyun's pale face showed a sickly blush, Gu Tunan suddenly reacted to the fact that at this time, his little father was still running a fever, "Did you leave the antipyretic medicine at home, little father, I'll go and get it for you-- -I'll get it for you."
"Don't go back!"
Li Songyun trembled and grabbed Gu Tunan's hand, and it was only with this trembling that Gu Tunan could touch the vulnerability that was hidden by the perfect grooming.
"Let's go." Li Songyun urged softly.
In this moment, Gu Tunan suddenly felt like punching Gu Mian hard and slapping himself.
How far have they pushed little dad over the years?
Gu Tunan used his greatest strength to make the gentlest force possible and gently moved Li Songyun's hand away, "Okay, we'll leave now."
The hover car started at a rapid pace, the scenery outside the window blurred into an unreadable mass of blackness, and Gu Jia was thrown into the deep night, as if he had merged with the overwhelming shadows that haunted him with open arms and claws.
Li Songyun reached out to cover the bruised fingerprints on his wrists, harsh and tinged with pain, as if Gu Mian had left his mark on him.
It's okay. It's okay. You've offered. You can definitely leave him.
Gu Tunan glanced back at Li Songyun worriedly, noting that the young dad's fingertips were trembling uncontrollably, like some kind of shivering critter.
By disobeying the commands of an alpha who has tagged them for life, even if that alpha doesn't release pheromones, the omega feels a great deal of psychological pressure.
"Little dad, Tang Bai went live today, do you want to watch his replay?" Gu Tunan knew that his dad loved Tang Bai, he said that seeing Tang Bai would make him feel better.
Li Songyun nodded slowly.
The light screen was placed in the void, the little omega in the picture was full of vigor even though he was wearing a hospital gown, his amber eyes held a pool of morning dew, brightly refracting a clear light, and when he smiled, even his long slender eyelashes were too sweet, and the darkness that had coiled around the car seemed to subside for a moment.
"I don't want to go and be a househusband at all, not at all, and I'd like to advise all omega's who are watching me live to make sure you don't become househusbands if you have a choice."
"I don't discriminate against stay-at-home moms, I'm an omega and I know that housework is hard, and while I haven't raised kids, I've taken specialized classes and know how difficult and hard it is to raise a great kid."
"Unfortunately and sadly, we are the only ones who know this, most alpha's will never know. All they know is that they're out there making money to support their families while you're at home looking pretty. Oh, and if you can't be responsible for looking good, after wasting your time in day to day fagging and turning yellow, they will choose to look good with a different omega. That's why you need to organize your time management in marriage, take care of your family and improve yourself at the same time, and always be considerate and tolerant, beautiful and elegant."
Tang Bai uses the sweetest of tones to speak the harshest of realities, "But in their hearts, you are a nanny, a cook, a childcare provider ...... The focus of your life always revolves around your family, you give a lot, but they don't realize your value, which is the same as you have no value, you only touch yourself."
"Without financial power, without a career, what's the difference between you and a pet that looks up to someone? Without respect, without equality, what's the difference between a marriage and a tomb that imprisons freedom?"
The amber eyes were bright, and the sweet, soft voice floated like cotton candy, as if the holy voice of an angel had fallen along with the brilliant daylight, "If you have the power to change your life, please take the initiative of your life into your own hands, and never choose to be dependent on others."
Li Songyun stared unblinkingly at Tang Bai's image, as if trying to draw warmth and strength from this child who was like a little sun, as he listened to Tang Bai's soft, almost petulant tone as he painted a picture of the future, "Think about what you want besides being a househusband."
"The ideals that once made your blood boil."
"The ambition to kill with society."
"Defiance against fate."
"And that powerful confidence that comes from the heart."
Li Songyun stared blankly at Tang Bai in the void, his fingertips, which had been trembling unconsciously, calmed down, and his cracked heart seemed to have been filled with something indescribable in words, something warm and positive.
Tang Bai on the live replay continues, "But the vast majority of omegas don't have a choice, we go to etiquette academies and are taught how to be good househusbands, and I hope the Federation will ensure that omegas have equal cultural and educational rights as alpha and beta ...... "
"Ding dong~" the message beep sounded, it was an inquiry from Mo Zhong will send asking him why he suddenly wanted a divorce.
"Because I want to be Li Songyun and not a vassal of anyone." He replied.
