Chapter 1027 -1027: Can’t We Just Find Another One?
When Chen Haobo was at his wits’ end, his boss called, asking when he would return to work since his job was not yet done.
Chen Haobo, getting an earful from his boss, continued to take leave and went up to C City to find Ye Qiuqiu.
He didn’t know where Ye Qiuqiu lived, nor did he have Lin Gantang’s number, and he realized how little he knew about his wife’s circle of friends.
He vaguely remembered Lin Gantang had opened a bookstore with cats, so he searched for it.
However, Lin Gantang wasn’t at the bookstore every day, and of course, when he asked the store manager for contact information, Qian Ruoxi refused to give it.
Chen Haobo squatted for two days and a night, finally waiting until Lin Gantang showed up.
...
He rushed forward, only to be stopped by Lin Gantang’s bodyguard.
“Gantang, it’s me, Chen Haobo, Ye Qiuqiu’s husband,” Chen Haobo quickly said.
Lin Gantang eyed the man who didn’t even have time to shave his beard and slightly lifted his chin, “What do you want?”
“Where’s Qiuqiu? Do you know?” he asked anxiously.
“Qiuqiu? Yes, I know,” Lin Gantang said.
Finally, some news, Chen Haobo breathed a sigh of relief, “Where is she?”
Lin Gantang scoffed, “Why should I tell you?”
When Chen Haobo heard this, he became anxious, “Tell me where she is, I need to find her for something.”
“Oh, you finally remember her, huh?” Lin Gantang asked, “Count on your fingers how many days it has been, and now you finally remember her?”
“I thought she just went out to cool off,” Chen Haobo explained.
“So now that you’ve realized she’s actually left, you finally know to be anxious,” Lin Gantang said disdainfully, “You couldn’t see her emotional state when she left? Even if she needed to cool off, as her husband, shouldn’t you be with her? And now you know to come looking for her?”
Chen Haobo was at a loss for words, “Tell me, she… she wants a divorce, and I want to ask her about it.”
“Isn’t that good?” Lin Gantang retorted, “Why should she go back? To take care of you, to serve your whole family?”
“No, she has a job, she doesn’t need to do the chores at home,” Chen Haobo subconsciously argued.
“Ha,” Lin Gantang’s laugh was full of irony.
She doesn’t need to do the chores?
After work, who takes care of the child? Who washes the dishes? Who mops the floor? Who folds each piece of clothing and puts them back in the wardrobe?
When the child urinates or defecates, who changes the diapers?
Isn’t this work?
Could Chen Haobo really not see it? In his heart, he believed that after Ye Qiuqiu finished her work, she ought to do these things since she had the time.
Who cares if she needs to rest after being busy all day?
Lin Gantang didn’t wish to talk to him any more.
“I will not disclose Qiuqiu’s address unless she asks me to tell you,” Lin Gantang said no more, turning around and heading back into the store.
“Qianqian can’t be without a dad,” Chen Haobo tried to follow, but was stopped by the bodyguard again.
“Heh,” Lin Gantang laughed with irritation, turned back to examine the man in front of him, and asked, “Are you trying to use the child to blackmail Qiuqiu?”

“Don’t worry, Qianqian won’t be without a dad,” Lin Gantang said with a smirk, “Just find another, right?”
Lin Gantang no longer paid attention to Chen Haobo.
The appearance of Chen Haobo wasn’t unexpected.
When a child and wife are missing, any person would search, right?
What infuriated Lin Gantang was the fact that it took Chen Haobo so long to notice Ye Qiuqiu had left home, proving that after their argument, Chen Haobo hadn’t thought about spending time with Qiuqiu, to coax her, but instead went straight to work in S City, and hadn’t even contacted his wife in all those days.
Qiuqiu’s desire for a divorce was not an impulsive decision but a well-considered choice made after being worn down by a chaotic life, both physically and mentally exhausted.
She had her whole life ahead of her, why should she settle?
And the child?
To truly love oneself is to have more capacity to love one’s child.
