Chapter 81 Have the divorce procedures been completed?
Four years ago, Lu family manor.
In the study, it was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a document bag being gently opened.
"Ms. An, I have asked my legal team to draft the divorce agreement."
Lu Lixiao took out an agreement from his file bag and handed it to the girl standing in front of the desk. "As long as you sign it, everything I promised you will be valid."
A written agreement in black and white in exchange for her breaking up with Lu Xiyan.
"Does Xi Yan know?"
An Ning's eyes moved away from He Da's "divorce agreement" and looked at Lu Lixiao. "The divorce certificate requires Xi Yan's signature. Given Xi Yan's personality, he won't agree."
"This isn't something Miss An should be concerned about." Lu Lixiao placed the divorce agreement on the table and took out a pen. "The divorce will be handled by the Lu family's legal team. You just need to sign, and from now on you and Xi Yan will no longer have any marriage relationship."
Lu Lixiao smiled gently, "Xi Yan will not know about the deal between you and me. Miss An, just live your life abroad. From now on, you have nothing to do with Xi Yan anymore."
The four words "no relationship anymore" hit An Ning's heart like a hammer, smashing her heart, which had finally become lively in the past two years, into pieces.
......
Three years ago.
In the delivery ward of Jining City Hospital, there is not only the slight smell of disinfectant, but also the breath of new life being born.
The newborn baby was born with a loud cry.
"Miss An, it's a boy!" The nurse happily carried the child to the bedside. "He's fair and clean, with a high nose and big eyes. He's so beautiful!"
The woman on the hospital bed had her hair soaked with sweat and her face was pale, but when she looked at the tiny baby in the cradle, her eyes were filled with infinite tenderness.
The newborn baby looks so much like him!
Almost exactly the same!
The extremely similar eyebrows and eyes to the man made An Ning, who was already in a fragile period, collapse emotionally. The longing in her chest almost exploded. Before her brain could make a judgment, her trembling hands had already picked up the phone, and the phone number that had no notes but could be subconsciously pointed out had been dialed.
"beep--"
An Ning's breathing became tight and her chest felt blocked, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Just as she was thinking about how to tell Lu Xiyan that she had safely given birth to her and his child, the phone, which had been ringing for a few seconds, was suddenly answered.
"Hello? Who is this?"
There was a young female voice on the other end of the phone.
An Ning's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened, and the tension just now disappeared without a trace.
If she wasn't so familiar with this voice, she might have thought Lu Xiyan had changed his number.
The person on the other end of the phone was Cheng Wanwan.
An Ning looked at the clock in the ward. It was nine o'clock in the evening.
It was so late, why was it Cheng Wanwan who answered Lu Xiyan’s private cell phone number?
An Ning's already weak and bloodless face became even paler, her fingers trembled, and her throat was so dry that she couldn't utter a word.
Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Cheng Wanwan's puzzled voice came.
"Is it...An Ning?"
With an uncertain temptation.
An Ning paused slightly, then heard the other party say affirmatively, "It's you, An Ning."
"It's me." An Ning's throat was dry and her voice was very soft.
After hearing her admit it, the other party paused for a second and then asked, "Why did you call Xi Yan?"
"An Ning, didn't you leave him?" Cheng Wanwan's voice was slightly agitated. "A good ex-wife should be as good as dead and never disturb his life. Why are you still haunting him after a year?"
Cheng Wanwan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on An Ning's head, completely waking her up.
Only then did she suddenly remember that she and Lu Xiyan had divorced and had nothing to do with each other anymore.
Whether she has a child or not, and whose child she has, is her own business.
She shouldn't have lost control of herself and made this call.
Turning to look at the baby who was already fast asleep in the crib, An Ning's tears fell as she made an excuse, "I just wanted to ask him if the divorce procedures were completed?"
Hearing this, the other party seemed stunned for a moment, "Didn't you get the divorce certificate?"
"Um."
"Oh, it's been done a long time ago." Cheng Wanwan's tone softened, "Xi Yan was too busy and might not have taken it to heart, so he forgot to give you the divorce certificate."
"He's taking a shower now. How about this," Cheng Wanwan suggested, "Give me your address and I'll mail the divorce certificate to you."
Cheng Wanwan's words made An Ning breathless. With trembling fingertips, she sent her an address.
Cheng Wanwan took a look and asked in surprise, "You went back to Jinghai?"
"This is my friend's address. Please ask Miss Cheng to send it to my friend for me." An Ning said softly, "She will forward it to me."
"It's best if you don't go back to Jinghai." Cheng Wanwan said in an unhappy tone, "An Ning, since you've gone abroad, don't come back. I told you that you and Xi Yan are not the same kind of people. With your background, not only can you not provide him with any help in his career, you will only hinder him. It's only a matter of time before you get divorced."
"Xi Yan has had a great year. Please don't disturb him rashly like you did today. He also said he doesn't want to have any contact with you anymore."
Cheng Wanwan said these words with a sense of sovereignty, "An Ning, I don't want to receive your call again next time, and never appear in front of him again. People should know their own limitations, right?"
"Miss An——"
The nurse suddenly came in and An Ning quickly hung up the phone.
The nurse glanced at the sleeping baby and asked with a smile, "Does your baby have a name? It will be convenient for us to register him."
An Ning lightly swiped her fingertips and deleted the call record, as if the call had never been made.
She turned her head to look at the crib, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "My last name is An Xian."
......
Memories of the past are always like a huge stone pressing on the chest, making it hard to breathe.
Pulling herself away from her memories, An Ning flipped through her address book. Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly made a call.
"Who is it?"
The call was quickly connected and a familiar voice came.
"Sister Chen?" An Ning's face lit up with delight. "It's me, An Ning. Do you remember me? I rented your house a few years ago."
"Ah! It's An Ning!"
The middle-aged woman on the other side was excited. "How could I not remember you? You're such a beautiful and sensible girl. I have such a deep impression of you! There was another girl who rented my house with you at that time. You two were together, right?"
"That's right, her name is Song Xiaoyu!" An Ning asked quickly, "Sister Chen, did she leave anything behind when she moved out? Or do you have her contact information?"
"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember. She gave me an envelope and told me to give it to you if you came back one day," Sister Chen said, "but you haven't come back in the past few years, and I can't contact you, so I almost forgot about it."
An Ning asked, "Is that envelope still there?"
"I'm here, I'm here." The other person asked, "An Ning, are you back in Jinghai?"
"Well, I'm back." An Ning asked politely, "Sister Chen, I'll come to you to pick up something another day. Is that convenient for you?"
"That's convenient." The other party said hurriedly, "But I won't be in Jinghai these days and won't be back until the weekend. Let's meet on the weekend then."
After hanging up the phone, An Ning felt relieved.
The envelope Xiaoyu left for her should be the divorce certificate.
