He Lingchuan deliberately brought up Zhou Mingyan, thinking that if he did, Shen Yanxi might agree more quickly.
Zhou Mingyan secretly wished Shen Yanxi would divorce him right now, but he still had to force himself to appear understanding.
"Xixi, I'm not in a hurry. As long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter whether we get married or not."
He seemed completely unconcerned about marriage, as if he wasn't the one who had threatened He Lingchuan before.
"Mingyan, I'm so sorry to have put you through this."
Shen Yanxi was deeply moved and patted Zhou Mingyan on the shoulder, trying to comfort him in this way.
"Have you two had enough of your sweet nothings?"
He Lingchuan had no interest in watching the two of them being all lovey-dovey.
"We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau now, and you can get your marriage certificate tomorrow."
"I have said before that I have no intention of getting a divorce."
Shen Yanxi raised her voice, her temper flaring up instantly: "How many times do I have to say it before you stop?"
"You promised me before."
He Lingchuan clenched his fists, his patience wearing thin: "Are you going to go back on your word again now?"
When will I agree to a divorce?
Shen Yanxi racked her brains but couldn't figure out when she would agree to a divorce.
She waved her hand dismissively, as if shooing away a beggar: "Go back now, there's no room for discussion about the divorce."
She couldn't possibly agree.
Her attitude was resolute, completely ignoring Zhou Mingyan's presence.
If she were to turn around at this moment, she would see that Zhou Mingyan's face had become extremely gloomy. However, Zhou Mingyan still had to maintain his image in front of Shen Yanxi, so he could only force out an awkward smile.
However, Zhou Mingyan's pretense and ulterior motives had nothing to do with He Lingchuan. His only goal today was to get Shen Yanxi to divorce him.
After some communication, He Lingchuan failed to achieve his goal, so naturally he couldn't just let it go.
This marriage must end today!
He turned to look at Zhou Mingyan: "Does he really want to be a third party between us?"
"I don't want to."
Zhou Mingyan answered truthfully. He turned to look at Shen Yanxi, his eyes filled with tenderness, as if he were an Oscar-winning actor.
"But I have no other choice. I just want Xixi to be happy. If he is happy with you, then I am willing to grant your wish."
He held Shen Yanxi's hand, his face gentle: "Xixi, I love you, so I support all your decisions."
“Mingyan”.
Seeing that Shen Yanxi was somewhat moved, He Lingchuan pressed his advantage: "You two are so loving, how could I possibly steal her away? Mr. Zhou has already said so, can you still not care about his feelings at all and insist on not getting a divorce?"
Seeing that Shen Yanxi was still hesitant, He Lingchuan simply cut to the chase.
“If you don’t get a divorce, then cut ties with Zhou Mingyan completely. I don’t like fickle women.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanxi's face instantly darkened, and her previous feelings of guilt vanished without a trace.
"Watch your mouth. What do you mean I'm fickle?"
"Don't you know it in your heart?"
He Lingchuan deliberately provoked her: "If you still want to be with me, then break off your relationship with this man."
His words were laced with anger, which startled Shen Yanxi.
Upon hearing this, Nan Chen and Bei Chen immediately smiled, wrinkling their noses as they said, "We don't want Mom and Uncle Mingyan to leave, we want Uncle Zhou!"
"How could you be so mean? Why did you break up Mom and Uncle Zhou?"
The two children spoke with a sob in their voices.
Shen Yanxi felt sorry for the children and angrily scolded He Lingchuan: "Are you ever going to stop? You won't be satisfied until you see Nan Chen and Bei Chen cry?"
"Isn't this all your doing? A divorce would have solved the problem and made them happy."
He Lingchuan's tone was indifferent, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
"You absolutely must get a divorce?"
Shen Yanxi gradually lost her patience. She looked up and met He Lingchuan's gaze. The unwavering determination in his eyes didn't seem like he was just being stubborn.
"ASAP."
He urged Shen Yanxi.
Seeing her move her lips, He Lingchuan knew that his previous words had worked.
Based on his understanding of her, Shen Yanxi would definitely agree.
She couldn't allow herself to trample on her dignity.
Those few words were enough to infuriate Shen Yanxi.
A few minutes later, he heard Shen Yanxi's answer: "Divorce is fine. Anyway, things have come to this point, there's no point in me staying with you."
She took the divorce papers: "But not these few days. The Shen family is having a family dinner soon, and you have to be there, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to Mom."
He Lingchuan understood the implication in his words, frowned, and said, "You'll divorce me after we go back for the family dinner?"
Shen Yanxi looked at him and nodded: "When have I ever lied to you?"
"Oh, that's hard to say."
He Lingchuan deliberately mocked her.
Shen Yanxi frowned, clearly somewhat dissatisfied.
"We'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau after the banquet."
This time, Shen Yanxi did not refuse.
With the agreement reached, there was no need for He Lingchuan to stay.
He waved to Shen Yanxi and turned to leave.
He still had the bandages from his last hospital check-up on him.
I don't know if it was because I was too excited just now, but there are some faint bloodstains.
"He Lingchuan."
Shen Yanxi took a few steps in his direction.
The man, who had already walked quite a distance, stopped and turned back to look at her, his face showing confusion: "Is there anything else?"
