"This marriage won't end in divorce, okay?"
Su Beibei asked herself, is it possible?
It won't work.
Su Beibei shook her head. "No."
Hearing this, Li Li was about to die.
Su Beibei picked up the pen that had fallen on the bed sheet, put it back into Li Li's palm, and urged him: "My wound is bleeding again, please sign quickly, I have to call a doctor."
Li Li closed his eyes and opened them after a while. He said, "If you want a divorce, fine, but you must promise me that you will not remarry within two years."
Although Su Beibei didn't plan to remarry, she was curious about why he gave this reason. "Why?"
Li Li said, "I'll give you two years of freedom. During these two years, I hope you'll think carefully about it. If you regret it, miss me, and find that you still love me, you can always come to me and remarry me."
"Promise me that you won't remarry in the next two years."
Li Li thought that after two years, when they both calmed down, he would pursue her again and they would remarry.
Su Beibei knew that Li Li was deeply obsessed with this marriage and he would not easily be willing to divorce, so the past two years were both the conditions he put forward for her and a way out for himself.
Su Beibei nodded, "Okay."
"I need to write this down in the agreement. I'll go back and re-write the contract." Li Li was about to leave with the divorce agreement when Su Beibei stopped him, "A-Li!"
Li Li looked back happily, thinking that she had changed her mind.
But Su Beibei said, "I don't want any of your property. You can write a new contract, but except for this additional agreement, don't change anything else."
The brilliance in Li Li's eyes dimmed in an instant. "...Yeah, okay."
Li Li returned home, turned on the computer, and wrote the contents of the divorce agreement word by word.
During this period, he wanted to go back on his word, delete the agreement, and turn off the computer several times, but the sanity he managed to retain forced him to become a more mature man.
Li Li printed out the agreement, read it over and over again, and finally signed his name carefully and slowly.
He didn't hand the divorce agreement to Su Beibei personally, but instead entrusted it to the courier. Along with it, their marriage certificate was also delivered.
Su Beibei received the divorce agreement that night, in triplicate, all signed by Li Li. Su Beibei stared at the divorce agreement for a long time before resolutely signing her name.
The next morning, Su Beibei took off her hospital gown, put on a loose skirt, and waited for A Kun, an employee of the coffee shop, to pick her up.
Ah Kun arrived at the hospital promptly at 1:40 p.m. He saw Su Beibei already dressed and looking as if she had been waiting for a long time. After much hesitation, he reluctantly asked, "Manager, are you really going to divorce Mr. Li?"
Su Beibei nodded.
Ah Kun felt sorry. "Manager, Mr. Li is actually quite good. No marriage is perfect; they all go through ups and downs. Don't you think it's a shame that they're getting divorced?"
Su Beibei glanced at A Kun and said, "Marriage does need to be maintained, but if the price of maintaining a marriage is constantly putting yourself down and devaluing yourself, then is there any point in continuing it?"
A Kun was not involved and did not know the problems between Su Beibei and Li Li. He admired Su Beibei very much. The store manager was smart. Since she decided to divorce, it must have been a decision made after careful consideration.
A Kun said: "No matter what, I support every decision you make."
"Um."
Ah Kun drove Su Beibei to the Civil Affairs Bureau, which was much less crowded in the afternoon. Usually, more couples came to the bureau to get marriage certificates in the morning, while more couples went through divorce procedures in the afternoon.
When Su Beibei arrived, Li Li hadn't arrived yet. A Kun opened the car door and walked around. Two minutes later, he returned to the car and said to Su Beibei, "I can't find Mr. Li's car. Maybe he won't come?"
Su Beibei thought about it, shook her head and said, "No."
"How about you give Mr. Li a call and ask him how long it will take for him to arrive?"
"Forget it, let's park in the shade and wait in the car."
"good."
Su Beibei laid down the chair and rested in the car, the wound aching slightly. This scar was like her marriage, patched up but never healed.
While waiting for someone, A Kun kept looking at his watch. Seeing that the hour hand was almost pointing to five o'clock, and Mr. Li still hadn't shown up, he almost thought that Li Li would never come back.
Su Beibei seemed very patient. Seeing A Kun constantly nodding at his watch, she calmly said, "Don't worry, just wait and see."
A Kun continued to wait.
At 5:15, Li Li finally arrived.
Seeing Li Li's car, A Kun quickly shouted, "Manager, Mr. Li is here."
"Yeah." Su Beibei sat up carefully and slowly got out of the car. When she looked up, she saw Li Li dressed in an elite outfit.
Li Li stood between his car and Su Beibei's car, staring at Su Beibei with a complicated look, filled with too much reluctance and condemnation.
Su Beibei seemed unable to understand Li Li's gaze. She said to Li Li, "If you don't come soon, the Civil Affairs Bureau will be closed."
Li Li's Adam's apple rolled for a moment before he explained, "I'm busy with work."
Su Beibei seemed to have followed his words and followed him into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
When they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, both parties took out each other's single photos, divorce agreements, and two marriage certificates and handed them to the staff.
Soon, all the divorce procedures were completed.
They exchanged their red marriage certificate for two purple-red divorce certificates. Li Li held the divorce certificate in his hand, feeling that the purple-red document was so piercing that it made him want to cry.
