Chapter 2 Child, Abort It

The next day.

Parking lot outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Lu Yan sat in the Maybach, lightly tapping the steering wheel with his left hand.

"Yanzhi, you and Niannian have been married for a year now, hurry up and have a child." An old man's voice came from the phone.

Lu Yanzhi's face relaxed, showing some helplessness, but he was very patient.

He said, "Grandma, we're still young, there's no rush. Grandma, what you need to do now is take good care of your health, and also Grandpa, he..."

"How can we not be anxious?" the old man interrupted. "Your grandfather is much better now, but we are all getting old, and we may close our eyes any day."

"grandmother……"

The old man said seriously, "Don't tell me anything else. I've heard the rumors too. You can't bully Niannian."

Lu Yanzhi remained silent for three seconds.

Until the old man urged, "Did you hear that?"

He rubbed his temples and replied, "Okay, Grandma."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lu Yanzhi hung up the phone.

His fingers continued to tap unconsciously on the steering wheel as Lu Yanzhi looked toward the Civil Affairs Bureau not far away.

Her lips were pressed tightly together.

He opened his phone's message list.

I swiped down the profile picture of a florist whose contact name was "My Beloved" and clicked on "Shi Nian's" chat window.

The last message he sent her was to tell her the time and place to meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning to finalize the divorce agreement.

She hasn't arrived yet.

He frowned slightly and sent her a message.

Lu Yanzhi: [Where are you?]

The next moment, there was a knock on the car window, and Lu Yanzhi saw Shi Nian's slightly pale face outside the window.

Shi Nian opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

She glanced at him.

She was wearing the same outfit as yesterday, which she had put together.

Over the years, everything he has been provided by her, from small items like perfume and ties to large items like custom-made shirts and suits, she has taken care of it all.

"Why are you so late?" he asked.

Shi Nian looked away.

"It's not late," she replied.

It's just that I'm not like before, waiting foolishly for his words.

Lu Yanzhi's unconscious tapping paused slightly, and he frowned as he looked at her.

She looked a little pale; she probably didn't sleep well last night because he brought up divorce.

But it's nothing serious.

“Grandma just called me.” Lu Yanzhi looked away and said, “Don’t tell the old lady about our divorce. She’s getting old and can’t handle that kind of shock.”

Shi Nian didn't answer immediately, but asked, "What did Grandma say on the phone?"

"They're pressuring us to have a child." Lu Yanzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in them.

Then came a long silence.

After a few minutes, Shi Nian finally let out a soft laugh.

Lu Yanzhi clenched his left fist, looked out the car window, and remained silent.

He had thought about what his child would look like and when he would be born.

When he was having sex with Shi Nian, he would gently stroke her belly and whisper in her ear, "Nian Nian, when are you going to give me a child?"

only……

Anyway, she wasn't pregnant.

They remarried in six months; it's not too late then.

Vivi only has six months left.

People were coming and going outside the car, and about three seconds later...

Shi Nian spoke: "This is the last time, A-Zhi, do you want a divorce?"

"Want to back out?" This time he was truly enraged.

Vivi was still waiting for him at home.

After receiving his confirmation once again, Shi Nian didn't say anything, but simply took out a document and handed it to Lu Yanzhi.

Lu Yanzhi frowned as he took the property division agreement.

"Since it's a divorce, let's make things clearer."

She said, "Of all the Lu family's possessions, I will only take what I am entitled to."

"During the cooling-off period for divorce, the money we each earn belongs to us."

As she spoke, Shi Nian took out a pen and placed it beside her.

“If there are no problems, sign it,” she said.

The more Lu Yanzhi looked, the more his brows furrowed.

The standard contract was simple and clear; she had indeed taken nothing, and her name, "Shi Nian," was already signed in her column.

He didn't understand what she meant.

If it's just a sham divorce, what's the point of this contract?

Han Wei only has six months left.

He stayed with Weiwei until the very end, just like before, spending his final moments with her under the watchful eyes of her grandparents.

In Lu Yanzhi's mind, Shi Nian could never do without him.

Her bottom line is very low.

He had been annoyed with her and deliberately made her do things that made her give up her own identity.

She never refused.

She might even walk up to him with the results in hand at the end, smiling broadly, and say, "Ah Zhi, look, I did it, isn't that amazing?"

She is a very compliant marriage partner, a fact he has proven countless times over the past seven years.

Without Han Wei, his marriage might have continued uneventfully.

But……

What appeared before him was Han Wei's pitiful yet stubborn face as she vomited blood; he was in so much pain he could barely breathe.

Lu Yanzhi glanced out the car window.

The reflection in the car window showed Shi Nian's expressionless face, devoid of joy or sorrow.

Was she trying to blackmail him?

After all, she had used some fabricated records to slander Han Wei.

She hates Han Wei.

Oh……

He took the pen.

Lu Yanzhi signed his name in his column.

No one can blackmail him!

Two copies.

Shi Nian took her share.

Then.

get off.

Get a number.

Submit the documents.

Fill out the "Divorce Application Form".

They each kept the receipt, and after the cooling-off period, they would come back to collect the divorce certificate.

After going through a series of procedures, the two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The sun was already high in the sky.

When the sun shines on you, you feel warm all over.

Lu Yanzhi looked at the crowd of people coming and going.

Those who come to get married and those who come to get divorced are clearly distinguishable to the naked eye.

A couple came out holding hands.

The woman had a sweet smile on her face.

He vaguely remembered that when he came to register for marriage a year ago, Shi Nian seemed to have the same smile on her face.

Lu Yanzhi glanced at Shi Nian.

Her face remained expressionless, showing neither joy nor sorrow.

“I will still transfer money to your card during these days of divorce,” he said. “Don’t tell Grandpa and Grandma about our divorce.”

After saying that, he left without waiting for her reply.

She watched his car drive around the corner and disappear from sight.

Then, the taxi she took arrived.

The two cars drove in completely opposite directions.

A car drove up to Vivian's floral art studio.

A car drove up to the First Hospital of City A.

Lu Yanzhi opened the door to the floral design studio, and Han Wei saw him and smiled back at him.

He took out the receipt and said to Han Wei, "It's done. She didn't have to make much of a fuss."

Meanwhile, Shi Nian, holding her appointment number, walked into the gynecology department.

I sat opposite the doctor.

The doctor drew the curtain.

"Niannian, are you really going to abort this child?"

Lin Zhihuan, a doctor and best friend, asked worriedly, "Didn't you always want to get pregnant? You even came to me to help you get pregnant before."

Shi Nian placed the receipt on the table to the side.

"Okay." Shi Nian said calmly, "Let's get it done, I don't want it anymore."
