Chapter 105: Plus more

The chopsticks fell to the floor with a clatter, and Gu Peifeng stared blankly at his little dad and father.

Admiral Gu suspected he had misheard and rubbed his ears.

Even though Gu Tunan had expected it, he was still a little dismayed when he heard it from his little father himself.

Li Songyun and Gu Mian are the only two people at the table who remain calm.

Gu Mian sits motionless in his seat, not even blinking, the years have not left much of a mark on this alpha, dressed in a military uniform, his expression aloof, his grey-blue eyes with the arrogance of an elite.

Li Songyun looked at Gu Mian and thought, "After all these years, the way this man looks at him has never changed, even when he hears his request for a divorce, his eyes don't even waver.

On the contrary, he had to use all his strength to hold his head high and maintain his last dignity.

Li Songyun knew very well that he was not truly at peace at the moment, and he was conscious that only by severing his ties with this man could he achieve peace of mind.

He will be subjected to accusations, incomprehension and even malicious criticism from all sides of society, but it doesn't matter, as long as he can escape from the cold eyes of this person and break free from the whirlpool of the struggle between reason and emotion, he can accept any voice from the outside world.

Looking at Gu Mian, who was still expressionless, Li Songyun took a deep breath and whispered, "I don't want the property, I just want custody of Little Feng."

Having been Mrs Gu Family for so many years, he had saved enough money to take care of himself and Gu Peifeng.

"Lai, what are you talking about?" Admiral Gu said in shock, "You're divorcing Gu Mian?!"

Li Songyun nods his head.

"Are you crazy?!" Admiral Gu was about to say something else, but Gu Tunan spoke up, "Grandpa, this is between the two of them, Little Papa and Father, it's their marriage and we shouldn't interfere."

"I shouldn't have interfered?" Admiral Gu slammed the table, "I'm Gu Mian's old man! I'm your grandfather! Am I not in charge of this family?"

The tremendous force inadvertently overturned the table and the food fell to the ground without a bite being touched.

Gu Peifeng cried out in fear as he looked at his furious grandfather, his indifferent father and his young father who was leaving the house.

In what seems like a farce, Gu Mian remains motionless, like a statue made of iron.

Li Songyun's trouser leg was splashed by the spilled hot porridge and he thought this was a bit of a problem, should he change his trousers before leaving?

I know you're going to suggest some changes, so you can get a lawyer to draw up a divorce agreement to your satisfaction in the next few days. "

"I just want custody of Little Feng, and everything else in the agreement is up to you."

After Li Songyun had finished speaking, he saw Gu Mian staring at him in silence, not saying a word as if he had acquiesced.

In fact, according to Gu Mian's thinking, it makes sense to agree to a divorce, Gu Mian just needs a Mrs. Gu who is obedient and easy to handle, he doesn't want to be this Mrs. Gu, there are more young, pretty, obedient and understanding omega who are eager to be.

He is not disputing the family's assets and all he wants is custody of a beta child, he has given Gu Mian three alpha's and he will only take a beta child out of the house without causing the Gu Family any damage other than loss of face.

Li Songyun waited a little longer to see that Gu Mian still hadn't spoken, and he stood up and said politely, "I'll leave you then, we can discuss the details of the divorce agreement on the lightbrain."

Li Songyun was about to turn around and leave when his wrist was suddenly clutched by Gu Mian, "Don't go."

Grey-blue eyes stared at him paranoidly, and Gu Mian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, " Li Songyun, I will not allow you to go."

Cold tone of voice.

More like an order than a retainer.

Li Songyun tried to break free, but alpha was incredibly strong, his wide palms rippling over his skin.

"Is there something else you don't like about the divorce settlement? I told you, I just want custody of Little Feng." Li Songyun gritted her teeth and tried to break Gu Mian's hand, "If you are worried about the face of the Gu Family, you can blame me for all the faults of the marriage, I will not spread anything unfavourable to the Gu Family ......"

"Father! You're hurting little Dad!" 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 finger mark that was shocking to the eye.

Gu Mian realises that he has lost his cool, he doesn't know what to say, he doesn't know how to meet Li Songyun's eyes that could easily pierce him, and he doesn't know what he is thinking at the moment.

He watched Li Songyun leave the house with his head held high and without a second thought, never looking back.

His father was fuming, Little Feng was crying, Xiao Nan chased him out, everyone was talking and moving, but he was the only one frozen in place.

He stood for a long, long time, until the mess in the house had been cleaned up, before Gu Mian sluggishly switched on his lightbrain and punched up the communication to Lieutenant General Mo.

"Hello? Is that Old Gu? Why did you think to call me at night?"

He heard himself say, " Li Songyun is angry."

*

"Little Papa, 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 drop you off wherever you want to go."

Li Songyun was a little chilly, the night blowing on him, his trouser legs still covered in cool, congealed porridge, and he felt he must be in a terrible state at this time of day.

"Back to the Li Family."

Gu Tunan opened the car door and helped Li Songyun in. Under the headlights, Li Songyun's pale face was flushed with illness. -"

"Don't go back!"

Li Songyun trembled and grabbed Gu Tunan's hand, and it was only with this tremble that Gu Tunan could reach the vulnerability that was concealed by the perfection of his manners.

"Let's go." Li Songyun urged softly.

At this moment, Gu Tunan suddenly felt like punching Gu Mian hard and slapping himself in the face.

How far have they pushed Little Dad over the years?

Gu Tunan made the gentlest of strokes with the greatest of strength and gently removed Li Songyun's hand, "Okay, we're leaving now."

The hover car started at speed, the landscape outside the windows blurred into an unreadable blackness, Gu Family was thrown into the deep night, as if he had become one with the shadows that pervaded the sky, haunting him with their teeth and claws.

Li Songyun reaches out to cover the bruised finger marks on his wrists, stinging and painful, as if Gu Mian had left a mark on him.

It's okay, it's okay, you've brought it up, you can definitely leave him.

Gu Tunan glanced back at Li Songyun with concern, noting that his little dad's fingertips were trembling uncontrollably, like some kind of shivering critter.

By disobeying the orders of an alpha that has marked itself for life, the omega feels great psychological pressure, even if that alpha does not release pheromones.

"Daddy, Tang Bai is live today, do you want to watch his live replay?" Gu Tunan knew that Little Papa loved Tang Bai, and he himself said that seeing Tang Bai, the boy, made him feel better.

Li Songyun nodded slowly.

The light screen was cast in the void, and the little omega in the picture was full of energy despite his hospital gown, his amber eyes holding a dew of morning flowers, reflecting a clear, bright light, and when he smiled, even his long, slender eyelashes were too sweet, and the darkness coiled in the car seemed to fade for a moment.

"I don't want to go as a househusband at all, not at all, and I would advise all the omega's watching me live, if you have a choice, to definitely not be a househusband."

"I don't discriminate against stay-at-home moms, I'm an omega and I know that housework is hard, and although I haven't raised children, I've taken professional classes and know how difficult and hard it is to raise a great kid."

"Unfortunately sadly, we are the only ones who know this, most alpha's will never know. All they know is that they are out there making money to support the family, while you are at home looking beautiful. Oh, and if you can't be responsible for looking good, they will choose to look good with another omega after you have wasted your years in the day to day fag and become a yellow face. So you need to organise your time management in your marriage, look after Gu Family people while improving yourself, and always be considerate and tolerant, beautiful and elegant."

Tang Bai uses the sweetest of tones to speak the cruelest of realities: "But in their hearts, you are a nanny, a cook, a childcare worker ...... The focus of your life is always around your family, you give a lot but they don't realise your value, which means you have no value, you only touch yourself."

"Without financial power, without a career, what is the difference between you and a pet that looks up to others? Without respect, without equality, what is the difference between marriage and a grave that imprisons freedom?"

Amber eyes bright, sweet soft voice floating like candyfloss, as if the holy voice of an angel fell with the brilliant daylight: "If you have the power to change your life, take the initiative of your life into your own hands and never choose to be dependent on others."

Li Songyun looked unblinkingly at Tang Bai's image, as if to draw warmth and strength from this little sun-like child, as he listened to Tang Bai paint the future in a soft, almost pampered tone: "Think of what you want besides being a family man."

"The ideals that once made your blood boil."

"The ambition to kill with society."

"An unyielding defiance to fate."

"And that powerful confidence that comes from within."

Li Songyun stared blankly at Tang Bai in the void, his fingertips, which had been trembling unconsciously, calmed, and his cracked heart seemed to be filled with something too warm and positive to be described in words.

Tang Bai in the live replay continues, "But the vast majority of omega's don't have a choice, we go to a ceremonial academy and are taught how to be a good householder, I hope the federation will ensure that omega's have equal cultural and educational rights with alpha and beta ...... "

"Dingdong~" the message alert beeped, a query from Lieutenant General Mo asking why he suddenly wanted a divorce.

"Because I want to be Li Songyun and not a subordinate to anyone." He replied.
