A week later, after a meeting, President Sheng was rubbing his brows while reading documents in the most imposing office building in Li City when Secretary Gao walked in cautiously with a document.
"Mr. Sheng, this is... sent by my wife."
Sheng Huai raised his head and stared at the documents in the secretary's hand for a moment before signaling her with his eyes to put them on the table.
After opening the documents, a thin divorce agreement floated out, and Su Yun had already signed it.
He didn't even look at the contents and threw it into the shredder.
Secretary Gao saw that his boss's face looked strange and hesitated for a moment before speaking tentatively.
"Mr. Sheng, my wife is looking for a job recently."
Sheng Huai glanced at the door and said in an icy tone, "Get out!"
Secretary Gao turned pale and quietly left.
…
Su Yun has been very busy during this period, running around in the hospital and various interviews every day. She now lives with her parents in an old walk-up house on the outskirts of the city.
Several villas in the family were sealed off, the company was in the process of liquidation, and all matters suddenly fell on the shoulders of this once wealthy daughter.
Su Yun graduated from a well-known foreign fashion design university and won many competition awards. She is also at the top level in ballet and piano. Within just a few days of sending out her resume, many companies offered her olive branches.
Inside Lin An’s office—
"Doctor Lin, you mean you can arrange treatment for my mother, right?"
Lin An looked across the desk with gentle eyes.
"Yes, during this period you need to pay attention to the patient's mood and maintain good nutrition and sleep."
"Also... you need to be mentally prepared for possible adverse reactions after chemotherapy."
Su Yun clenched her palms, lowered her eyes and remained silent for a few seconds before speaking again: "I see. Thank you, Dr. Lin. I'll leave first."
Lin An stood in the office and called out softly to the figure at the door.
"Ms. Su."
Su Yun turned around and asked with a faint smile: "Anything else?"
"Um……"
Lin An lowered his head, opened the drawer, took out an exquisitely packaged box and handed it over.
"This is?"
"This is the wedding candy my colleague gave me for his baby's full moon. Miss Su, please don't despise it. Eat something sweet and be happy."
"Okay...thank you, Doctor Lin."
After leaving the hospital, she went to the bank first. Now all the assets under her parents' names have been frozen, and the only card that can be used is hers.
Staring at the four-digit balance displayed on the screen, Su Yun pulled out the card in silence.
She has interviewed with many companies recently. It should not be difficult for her to find a job with her qualifications, but when it comes to signing the contract, she is always rejected with various reasons.
There is no need to think about it, it must be Sheng Huai's intention.
He wanted to force himself to go back, admit his mistake in front of him, and then continue to iron his clothes and serve him dishes every day, and be the gentle and silent Mrs. Sheng.
He just wanted a personal nanny that he was used to.
I took the bus home, and found that this two-bedroom, one-living-room rental house was not even as big as the bathroom in my previous villa.
Just as I put my bag down and finished cutting the vegetables, the phone rang again.
It’s Sheng Huai calling.
"Su Yun, let's meet."
——
In early March, the streets are always brightly colored.
Walking through the most prosperous and luxurious commercial street, you can see a Rolls-Royce parked not far away.
When she got closer, the passenger door slowly opened.
Su Yun got on the back seat without hesitation.
The car drove all the way to the suburbs. The sunlight shone on his angular face, giving his originally cold features a halo.
Sheng Huai tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips anxiously and glanced at the rearview mirror.
"You don't want to talk to me?"
I haven't seen her for a few days. She looks much more haggard. Her slender, fair body is wrapped in a purple dress, and her long hair is naturally loose, but she still looks very beautiful.
Su Yun looked out the window with her side profile, stretched out her hand to catch the wind passing by, her tone indifferent.
"Didn't you come to me?"
"Oh, don't forget that you are still Mrs. Sheng now."
Su Yun suddenly chuckled. She looked very pretty when she smiled, with the corners of her eyes raised, showing a charming look.
"Yes, so I want to divorce you and get rid of the noble title of Mrs. Sheng."
The sudden brake left a rut on the seaside road!
Su Yun was grabbed by the wrist and dragged out of the car.
The crimson sunset was reflected on the sea not far away, like ice cream slowly melting.
Sheng Huai held Su Yun tightly against the side of the car, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
Su Yun suddenly felt very powerless, her eyes passed through his face and fell to the sea level not far away.
"Sheng Huai, you obviously don't love me. After the divorce, you can find someone you like openly. Besides, my family is bankrupt, which is even more of a burden to you."
"Why...why won't you let me go?"
He lit another cigarette, his eyes were playful: "Let you go? Then go and get together with that little doctor who flirts with you?"
Su Yun took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"Sheng Huai, don't think everyone is the same as you..."
Finally, he added, "If you still don't agree to a divorce, then I will have no choice but to sue you, and that's not what Mr. Sheng wants to see."
As soon as he finished speaking, his big hands tightly pinched her delicate profile, and his tall body pressed up against hers, their noses touching, their eyes locked.
Su Yun tried to turn her face away, but he pulled her back forcefully.
Sheng Huai was furious, and even smiled coldly: "After the divorce, who would dare to marry you? Don't you know what the status of the Sheng family is in Li City?"
Su Yun's face turned pale.
She knew that he would not let her go.
"Su Yun..." He softened his voice, and his slender fingers climbed up her smooth forehead and slowly moved across her delicate face.
"Move back to the villa. As for your parents, I will help them find a new house."
"And...the hospital must be changed!"
Su Yun did not answer, but just stared at the last bit of sunset melting on the sea.
It was a long time before he withdrew his gaze.
"It must be romantic to watch the sea side by side here."
I still remember that rainy day when I was standing at the cashier window in a panic, making phone calls over and over again, while he was with another woman.
Move back to the villa, pretend nothing happened, and continue to be the gentle and silent Mrs. Sheng?
Su Yun raised her eyes and slapped away his hand that was wandering on her face.
"I don't want to!"
She didn't want to be just a vase, nor did she want to continue to endure her husband's indifference.
She wanted a divorce and to make money on her own to treat her mother's illness.
She didn't want to be controlled by Sheng Huai anymore!
However, as soon as she finished her words, she was restrained again and could not move.
A light pine scent wafts into the nose, its power unmistakable.
After being married for three years, he knew everything about her.
Just like now!
Su Yun raised her snow-white neck.
I could only fall into his arms.
The man's well-defined chest was like a dark cloud pressing down on a city, and his tone was light and suggestive.
"Not very tough? Now... huh?"
Su Yun's back stiffened instantly, and a strong sense of shame swept through every cell. She stopped struggling, raised her hand and slapped the handsome face hard!
