He Lingchuan was somewhat puzzled.

He pointed to the bandage on his right hand: "Why would I pretend?"

He couldn't understand Shen Yanxi's thoughts at all. Pretending to be injured? What good would that do him?

"Who knows why you're pretending? Maybe it's to get my attention."

Upon hearing this, He Lingchuan felt as if something was choking him.

“We’re getting a divorce anyway, how could I possibly do something so pointless?”

He originally wanted to say that Shen Yanxi thought too highly of herself.

But after thinking it over, he decided against it. After all, they had been husband and wife, and he didn't need to speak ill of them.

When has Shen Yanxi ever been mocked like this? Was it He Lingchuan?

Feeling embarrassed, he retorted, "I know you're being stubborn. You don't need to pretend to be a big man in front of me. Don't I know you?"

She looked at Zhou Mingyan's wounds with heartache, her tone becoming more serious: "If not, why did you attack Mingyan? He came to see you out of kindness, and you are so ungrateful."

"He's the one who hurt me."

He Lingchuan only said this one sentence, knowing that Shen Yanxi would definitely not believe it.

As expected, Shen Yanxi immediately retorted, "You're talking nonsense. What I saw was clearly you faking your injury to frame Mingyan."

Shen Yanxi insisted that he had orchestrated the whole thing himself.

Gu Chengze stood aside and heard their conversation clearly. He originally didn't want to get involved in their relationship.

I simply couldn't stand it anymore.

"Chen Yanxi, are you really stupid or just naive? Didn't you see the wounds on Ling Chuan's body? Do you think these can be faked? Or do you think we've teamed up with Yisheng to lie to you?"

His gaze fell on Zhou Mingyan: "We've already found the car's IP address, proving that Zhou Mingyan was the one who did this. What explanation do you have?"

"That's simply impossible."

Without a second thought, Shen Yanxi spoke up for Zhou Mingyan: "Mingyan isn't that kind of person. You must have framed him on purpose."

This woman is so stupid that Gu Chengze doesn't even want to talk to her anymore.

He Lingchuan felt the same way. He didn't want to continue arguing about who was behind this. Now that Shen Yanxi was here, he only had one thought: "Since you're here, let's get our divorce certificate while the Civil Affairs Bureau is still open."

Shen Yanxi stood there, her fingertips trembling, her voice filled with anger: "You still say you're not faking it? You just tricked me into coming here to get the marriage certificate, didn't you? Are you in such a hurry?"

Shen Yanxi had never been treated like this before, and she grew increasingly angry: "Do you have another woman?"

"Shen Yanxi, don't you know why I got a divorce? Don't try to smear me."

If it weren't for the ambiguous relationship between her and Zhou Mingyan, he would never have divorced her, even if it meant his death.

They've been together for so many years, and even if Shen Yanxi offered him just a little warmth, he wouldn't be so resolute.

This woman actually had the nerve to ask him if he had other women outside?

He Lingchuan was amused by her and insisted on getting the marriage certificate no matter what.

"Did you bring anything? If not, have Zhou Mingyan go back and get it."

Since they all live together, Zhou Mingyan must be very happy.

"You're ordering me around?"

Shen Yanxi kept asking questions, but refused to get to the point.

Zhou Mingyan saw that he didn't want a divorce, clenched his fists, and deliberately pretended to be very aggrieved: "Xixi, please don't get a divorce, I beg you, okay? It's all my fault, I'll leave now, and I will never appear in front of you again."

His eyes glistened with tears, his voice tender as he said, "I'd rather never see you again than ruin your relationship."

"What feelings do I have for him?"

Shen Yanxi patiently comforted Zhou Mingyan, patting the back of his hand: "It's all for the child."

Yes, he doesn't want a divorce because of the children.

It has nothing to do with He Lingchuan himself.

"Really? But, but I'm still worried, I think I should leave."

Zhou Mingyan was about to leave when he said that.

He acted so well that Shen Yanxi felt a surge of anxiety: "Don't go, I'll get a divorce right now."

"Xixi, please don't get a divorce. I don't want to ruin your relationship."

"It has nothing to do with you; I'm the one who wants a divorce."

Shen Yanxi took out her household registration booklet from her bag: "Let's go."

"So you've been carrying it with you all along."

He Lingchuan felt as if his heart had been stabbed.

It seems that ever since he first mentioned it, Shen Yanxi has kept her household registration booklet in her bag.

"Don't worry, Zhou Mingyan will take good care of the child."

His previous sense of luck vanished instantly; it seemed that Shen Yanxi hadn't divorced him all along because of the child.

"My household registration booklet..."

Shen Yanxi originally wanted to explain that he brought out this household registration booklet today to buy property for the children.

However, since things had come to this point, there was no point in her saying anything more, so she simply tacitly agreed with He Lingchuan's guess.

Didn't this man always want a divorce? Why is he acting pitiful now?

"I didn't take it out because I wanted to give you a chance to back out, but since you don't want to..."

"Don't worry, I will never regret this in my life."

The divorce certificate was obtained in just over ten minutes.

He Lingchuan looked at the documents in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

His attitude and decisiveness greatly displeased Shen Yanxi.

"You're really happy."

She stood in front of He Lingchuan and sneered, "Now you're free. You can go find other women."

He Lingchuan sensed the sarcasm in her words and replied coldly, "Yes, I should thank you properly."

His gaze fell on Zhou Mingyan's face: "Now you can rest assured, I have nothing to do with Shen Yanxi, you can finally take your place."

“Mr. He, this is an insult to me. My feelings for Xixi are purely love. I do not want to force him to possess her.”

He Lingchuan was too lazy to listen to him express his so-called love, so he left halfway through.

After leaving, he didn't even look back.

Looking at the man's resolute attitude, Shen Yanxi stomped her feet in anger: "He Lingchuan, you're really something."

He was more determined than she had imagined; Shen Yanxi couldn't think of any other reason besides the presence of a new woman.

...

After the divorce, He Lingchuan finally felt relieved.

He received a call from Professor Zhao as soon as he arrived at the hospital.

"Teacher, I'm afraid it's not convenient for me."

He Lingchuan really wanted to go, but looking at the wounds on his body, he hesitated.

"Professor, we will definitely go, please don't worry."

Gu Chengze snatched the phone from him and made a promise to the person on the other end of the line.

After hanging up the phone, He Lingchuan couldn't help but complain, "How am I supposed to go like this?"

"Why can't I go? I just want the professor to have a good talk with you, so you don't come back covered in injuries every few days and make people worry."
