Chapter 406: Xuanyuan Ming Passes Out

Li Moran's heart was instantly thrown into a storm of emotions.

Could it be that Yun Mu had already told Xuanyuan Ming about the things I did in the imperial capital?

She lost control of her emotions again and lunged at Xuanyuan Ming, gripping his arm tightly.

"Is it Yun Mu, that woman, who told you lies about me? Did she slander me in front of you?"

The last traces of guilt that Xuanyuan Ming had felt towards Li Moran dissipated, his tone turning icy. "Yun Mu has never said anything about you. She is the head of the Yun family. How many lives do you think you have to play games with her?"

"Then why?! Why are you in such a hurry to divorce me? Is it to stop me from getting in Yi Jue's way? Let me tell you, it's impossible! I also bore you three children. Why can't you consider our three children? Isn't it unfair just because Yi Jue is born to Yi Qinglan? This is unjust!"

"Xuanyuan Ming, you can't be so unfair to me! I am your lawfully wedded wife. The person you should love is me! Me!"

As she said this, she tilted her head towards Xuanyuan Ming's handsome face.

Xuanyuan Ming immediately pushed her away, frowning with evident disgust. "Li Moran, what I despise the most is this attitude of yours, believing the whole world owes you something. But ask yourself, since I married you, have I ever done anything to wrong you? Have I ever looked down on you? It's you who can't let go of someone who's been dead for over twenty years, and you always bring it up when things don't go your way!"

"Li Moran, I'm tired."

Li Moran stiffened, lying on the floor as she looked up at Xuanyuan Ming. Suddenly, she laughed maniacally.

"You've never wronged me? When have you ever treated me right? It's always been that woman you've been thinking about, never any tenderness for me. Xuanyuan Ming, I'm the one who's tired. Why are you the one who wants to leave me? You'll never be able to get rid of me in this lifetime, even if you die!"

Xuanyuan Ming looked at the woman before him, who had lost all her grace and was now clinging to him desperately. There was no longer any disgust in his eyes, only a dead calm.

He calmly averted his gaze and waved his hand towards the door. His thin lips parted slightly. "Someone."

The old butler and Qingyuan immediately pushed open the living room door and walked in, followed by several servants.

When everyone saw their once graceful and glamorous lady, now disheveled and lying on the floor, they were stunned.

But Li Moran didn't move, not even bothering to tidy herself up.

Xuanyuan Ming coldly glanced at Li Moran on the floor and ordered, "Help Madam back to her room to rest. Tomorrow morning, escort her back to the Li family."

After saying this, he glanced at the divorce papers on the coffee table and then looked towards Qingyuan.

Qingyuan immediately understood, picked up the papers and escorted Li Moran back to her room, placing the documents on her dressing table.

"The master's decision is final and cannot be changed. Madam would have been wise to sign this document to avoid ending up with nothing." Qingyuan said coldly, handing a pen to Li Moran.

Li Moran sneered. "Are you trying to force me to sign?"

Qingyuan didn't respond.

A look of malice flashed in Li Moran's eyes as she hurled the pen to the ground.

"Get out!"

Qingyuan didn't move.

Li Moran took a deep breath and clenched her palm. "Find me tomorrow morning! You have plenty of ways to force me to sign while I'm still here, don't you?"

"Madam understands the situation well. I'll come find you again tomorrow morning to collect the agreement." Qingyuan placed another pen next to the agreement and then turned to leave the room, closing the door behind him.

Li Moran's venomous gaze fell on the agreement. All the grievances she had held back over the years, along with the pain of unrequited love, surged up, nearly tearing her apart.

He's on his deathbed, and he still wants a divorce!

He's dying!

Yes, he should've died years ago. Didn't he love Yi Qinglan the most? Then why didn't he go to the underworld to be with her sooner?

This Xuanyuan family is mine and my children's. I will always be Madam Xuanyuan to him.

……

Li Moran spent the night without sleep, and only when dawn was approaching did she drag her stiff and numb body to wash up, put on a decent makeup, and change into an elegant dress.

Just then, there was a knock—"knock knock"—and Qingyuan appeared at the door as expected, "Madam, the agreement."

Li Moran stared at him, "Where's Xuanyuan Ming? I'll hand it to him myself."

Qingyuan examined her for a moment, "The master is washing up. He'll be down for breakfast in ten minutes."

"Good, I'll hand it to him personally."

Carrying her handbag, Li Moran elegantly descended the stairs and entered the kitchen. As usual, she surveyed the dishes in the kitchen, then chose a few of Xuanyuan Ming's favorites and had the servants bring them to the table, sitting at the dining table to wait.

When Xuanyuan Ming came downstairs and saw that Li Moran was still standing there, a cold glint flickered in his eyes, but he still sat down.

"The divorce agreement..."

"Let's eat first," Li Moran said calmly, masking all her emotions. "We've been married for over twenty years. There's no need to rush these seconds and minutes. We can talk about things after breakfast."

Xuanyuan Ming glanced at the bird's nest porridge and Chinese side dishes on the table—usual fare from the kitchen—and motioned for the old butler to taste the food first.

Li Moran chuckled softly, then swiftly gathered all the dishes in front of him and dumped them into the trash.

With coldness in her eyes, she stared at him, "If you don't want to eat, that's fine. No need to humiliate me. I don't want a divorce, but I wouldn't poison you."

Xuanyuan Ming narrowed his eyes and picked up a glass of milk beside him to drink.

"I'm done eating. Now give me the divorce agreement, and you can leave."

Li Moran, in a leisurely manner, glanced at the milk he had finished and said, "I've signed the divorce agreement, but I'm not giving it to you right now."

"Just say what conditions you have."

"Xiao Xue is my heart and soul. She has to come back to the Li family with me."

Xuanyuan Ming was furious, "Impossible."

"Then there's nothing to talk about."

"You!"

Xuanyuan Ming, enraged, stood up, about to explode in anger, when suddenly he clutched his chest in pain and collapsed to the ground, unconscious!

"Master!"

"Sir!"

Instantly, the entire Xuanyuan household erupted into chaos, everyone rushing to Xuanyuan Ming in a panic.

"Call an ambulance! An ambulance!"

"Quickly call the eldest son!" Another person pulled out their phone and began dialing.

Xuanyuan Xue and Xuanyuan Xun, who were upstairs, were also roused by the noise. When they came downstairs and saw the scene, they froze momentarily before scrambling to help load Xuanyuan Ming into the ambulance.

Only Li Moran stayed composed, calmly seated at the dining table the entire time, an obsessive, menacing smile flickering in her eyes. She then leisurely retrieved the divorce agreement and tore it to shreds.

Xuanyuan Xue cast a glance back at Li Moran, feeling a chill of fear rise within her.

But she couldn't dwell on it; she had to rush after the ambulance to the hospital.

Despite getting him to the hospital promptly, Xuanyuan Ming was admitted to the ICU and remained unresponsive.
