This night, the lights of the Qi family stayed on until late at night, as the family discussed Qi Fenglian's matter, reaching a unanimous decision: to divorce and fight for custody of the child.
Cheng Su had been on the road for most of the day, and after joining the discussion, she was already exhausted and sleepy. It was a relief to have settled the matter, she washed up, and fell asleep as soon as she got into bed.
Qi Taiguo felt a pang of distress as he watched her, and he lay down beside her, covering her with a thick cotton quilt; although Cheng Su's body was still cold, in her sleep, she sensed the warmth and moved closer.
That warmth came from Qi Taiguo, the human furnace.
Knowing she was sensitive to cold, Qi Taiguo embraced her, still pondering over Qi Fenglian's situation, and eventually fell asleep.
The next day, after breakfast, the whole family was ready to accompany Qi Fenglian to her in-laws' to discuss the divorce matter.
