Long Night

When she was young, he said, "When we grow up, I'll marry you, then no one will dare to bully you anymore."

Later, he did marry her, but it wasn't because of that promise; it ...

If they had moved slower, if... she didn't dare to think about it, would she have fallen down with the elevator?

"It's okay, you're out now." Jiang Yu still soothed in a gentle voice.

"I know I'm okay."

But she still felt scared. If she had been a little slower, she might have been smashed into a pulp.

His voice still trembled uncontrollably, and his face was still pale. It was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the fear he had just experienced.

Shen Qinghuan tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart and tried not to let himself recall the despair of that moment.

After a while, she seemed to have calmed down. She pursed her lips and said in a light-hearted manner, "I'm fine now."

Shen Qinghuan said this and left without a trace.

Jiang Yu frowned, and when she wasn't paying attention, he grabbed her fair little hand and clenched it in his palm. "Let's go! Go back to the car first. Aren't you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?"

He raised his thin lips slightly and changed the subject without leaving any trace.

Shen Qinghuan thought about it seriously and said, "I, I want to eat sweet and sour osmanthus fish."

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, "Then go and wake up the smell?"

Shen Qinghuan had no objection.

She could just go and see if Su Weiyang, who took her money, had left.

In fact, the very next day after Su Weiyang received the money, she sent Shen Qinghuan a photo of herself entering the operating room. Later, Su Weiyang sent her a photo of her high-speed rail ticket back to her hometown, but she didn't completely believe it.

She would have to see for herself.

Twenty minutes later.

Shen Qinghuan and Jiang Yu got out of the car. Jiang Yu walked straight around the front of the car, grabbed her little hand and held it in his palm.

Shen Qinghuan couldn't help but frown and looked at her little hand that he was holding.

Perhaps because she was frightened, she did not struggle, but let Jiang Yu hold her hand tightly.

The two of them entered the box one after the other. Not long after they sat down, Shen Qinghuan found an excuse to go to the bathroom and went out.

She found a familiar-looking waiter, casually mentioned Su Weiyang, and asked why she didn't see her when she came in just now?

"Weiyang resigned several days ago. She said her family asked her to go home for a blind date. But I think she may not be able to stay in Nancheng anymore."

Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then asked with a subtle smile, "What do you mean you can't stay any longer?"

"Nothing much! Just some bad rumors. If there's nothing else, I'll just go about my business."

Shen Qinghuan did not ask any further questions. If she used her brain, she could guess that a pretty girl was just the subject of some obscene rumors that were unbearable to the ears. However, Su Weiyang was not wronged at all.

After learning that Su Weiyang had left Nancheng, Shen Qinghuan finally felt relieved.

She couldn't tell whether she was right or wrong in doing this, but she didn't regret it at all.

The happiness she couldn't get, she hoped her best friend could get.

The night before the cooling-off period ended, it actually snowed in the city.

Shen Qinghuan thought of the weather forecast from a few days ago, and her soft red lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

At the beginning, the snow was not heavy and there were snow particles, but after ten o'clock, it turned into dense snowflakes, as if someone had torn cotton wool into pieces and scattered it from the air.

She stood in the study, hesitated for a long time, and finally raised her hand and knocked on the closed door in front of her.

She had been waiting for Jiang Yu. He had gone into the study to hold a video conference, and it had been more than an hour.

The cooling-off period is over, and she has to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow to go through the divorce procedures. She doesn't want to delay any longer.

Most importantly, she retyped the divorce agreement.

She wants to take her share of the property.

Instead of being silly and not wanting anything, after all, it wasn't her who did something wrong.

Soon, a familiar voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Taking a deep breath, Shen Qinghuan pushed the door open and walked in.

Jiang Yu's video conference had not yet ended. She did not urge him, but just sat quietly waiting for him.

A few minutes later, the meeting ended. Jiang Yu turned off the computer, stood up and walked to Shen Qinghuan.

"It's already so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Shen Qinghuan curled her fingers slightly and looked at him sideways.

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled gently.

Shen Qinghuan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and took out the divorce agreement that she had redrafted a few days ago. "Take a look! I made this again. Today is the last day of the divorce cooling-off period. I hope..."

Looking at the big words "Divorce Agreement" on the cover, Jiang Yu curled the corners of his mouth slightly and narrowed his eyes coldly.

Before Shen Qinghuan could finish her words, he interrupted her coldly.

"Put it here! I'll take a look at it later."

Shen Qinghuan's expression changed slightly, and her fingers gripping the divorce agreement tightened unconsciously. "Jiang Yu, aren't you done yet? Why wait a while before reading it? Can you pick it up and read it now? If you have any different opinions, I can revise it immediately."

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the fair little face.

After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Do we really have to get a divorce?"

Shen Qinghuan: "Yes! We must leave."

Jiang Yu remembered asking her many times, "Do we really have to get a divorce?" "Do we really have to get a divorce?" "Can we not get a divorce?" Her answer never changed. She said, "We must get a divorce..."

He curled his lips and suddenly smiled, his eyes reddening, "Huanhuan, even if I beg you not to divorce, will you definitely divorce?"

Shen Qinghuan was startled, and her dark blue eyelashes trembled slightly.

She clenched her fingers and pretended to be indifferent: "You have asked this question many times, and my answer is still the same, Jiang Yu..."

Shen Qinghuan raised her chin and stared at the man in front of her very seriously.

She said, "Let's get a divorce! I don't want to go on like this."

Jiang Yu's face was extremely ugly, and the corners of his eyes were red. "Shen Qinghuan, if we get divorced, then from now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other, so, are you sure..."

Shen Qinghuan: "Yes, I'm sure."

Jiang Yu suddenly forced a smile and snatched the divorce agreement from Shen Qinghuan's hand. He didn't even read the contents inside and signed his name on the back.

He then returned the signed divorce agreement to her.

After that, he left without looking back.

After a while, the sound of a car engine roared in the yard.

Shen Qinghuan came to her senses belatedly. She lowered her head, the heart beneath her ribs aching intensely, and her eyes were swollen, as if something wanted to burst out.

A tear quietly fell.

She reached out and wiped it, curling her lips.

Shen Qinghuan opened the divorce agreement signed by Jiang Yu. He didn't even glance at the content of the agreement. He was not worried at all that she would take all his assets.

That night, she couldn't sleep again.

The next morning, the snow had become much lighter, like fine, broken cotton wool.

Because the municipal government had made preparations early on, there were no traffic accidents caused by slippery roads even though it was snowing.

Aunt Zhang didn't clear the snow in the yard, saying she wanted to keep it for taking pictures of her.
