Chapter 499 Exiting His Life
"You!" Chu Yuexuan's expression changed slightly.
Li Mufeng didn't give him a chance to react, and instantly shook his hand off forcefully.
Although he wasn't much taller than Chu Yuexuan, his imposing aura completely overwhelmed him.
Chu Yuexuan, feeling embarrassed, clenched his fist and was about to punch Li Mufeng in the face, but was stopped again.
A mocking sneer escaped Li Mufeng's lips: "Save your breath, you think you're worthy of being my opponent?"
He took Xia Zhiying's hand with one hand, shielding her behind him, and gently patted the back of her hand. "Get in the car first, let me talk to him."
Chu Yuexuan's gaze, as if it had been tempered with fire, was fixed on his and Xia Zhiying's hands pressed together, as if he wanted to burn a hole in them.
Xia Zhiying nodded in agreement without much hesitation, after all, she didn't want to get entangled with Chu Yuexuan any further.
After Li Mufeng waited for her to get into the car, he thoughtfully closed the door, completely blocking Chu Yuexuan's view. Only then did he turn to look at him, his cold and stern eyes revealing a mocking expression.
He took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to Chu Yuexuan, while also adding fuel to the fire: "Ex-husband, Zhiying will be moving into my house with me soon. I can't tell you the exact address, so please pack up her things and send them to my company."
Chu Yuexuan was incredulous, his head spinning from the blatant provocation in his eyes. Instinctively, he grabbed the man's collar, his expression fierce: "I'm warning you, Xia Zhiying is not someone you can touch! Stay away from her, understand? Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."
Whether it was the jarring title of "ex-husband brother" or Li Mufeng's almost explicit signal that he and Xia Zhiying were "together," he couldn't suppress the rising anger in his chest. It was as if a time bomb was inside his mind, about to explode at any moment.
How dare Xia Zhiying? A seamless transition? She really did have a backup plan all along!
Seeing Chu Yuexuan's murderous gaze, Li Mufeng felt a surge of sarcasm. His eyes gradually sharpened, and he grabbed Chu Yuexuan's hand that was gripping his collar, grinding it down hard on the tiger's mouth without any politeness.
Chu Yuexuan's face twitched in pain, and he felt his entire hand go numb. The next second, he unconsciously let go of his hand.
Li Mufeng disgustedly threw his hand away, slowly straightened his disheveled collar, glanced at him coldly, and curled his lips into a contemptuous smile: "Who do you think you are? A divorced ex-husband who dares to bark at me like a dog. Since you're divorced, you should have some self-awareness as an ex-husband. I was lenient with you last time. If I find out you still dare to harass Zhiying, I don't mind getting serious."
After saying that, he got into the car decisively and drove away with Xia Zhiying without stopping for a moment.
Chu Yuexuan remained where he was, inhaling a mouthful of exhaust fumes, his face growing increasingly dark, like coal.
Inside the car, Xia Zhiying quickly shifted her gaze from the man in the rearview mirror, took a deep breath as she looked out the window, her brows relaxed, and when she turned back to look at Li Mufeng, she even had a slight smile on her face, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Mufeng shook his head and chuckled, a hint of helplessness on his face: "Still calling me Mr. Li? I thought that after helping you get rid of that scumbag, you should consider me a friend, instead of being so distant."
Xia Zhiying bit her lip, and when she met his teasing gaze, her face flushed.

She hesitated for a moment because she was too shy to speak, but finally called out, "Li Mufeng."
Seeing the smile that instantly bloomed on Li Mufeng's bright face, a faint blush unconsciously rose to her cheeks. She coughed twice to cover it up and quickly turned her head away from him.
Li Mufeng took in her reaction, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
The car fell silent, and an ambiguous atmosphere slowly spread, gradually heating up.
Chu Yuexuan stood in front of the Mingzheng Bureau for a long time, staring at the divorce certificate in his hand for a while. His eyes gradually turned red, and finally, in a fit of anger, he threw it hard to the ground.
Yu Jiaren, who had just finished her work and was eager to rush over, happened to see this scene. Her expression changed several times before she quickly ran forward and picked up the divorce certificate from the ground.
Upon opening it and seeing the stamp and seal of the Civil Affairs Bureau, I finally felt relieved, and a smile involuntarily crept onto my face.
“Yuexuan,” she said, suppressing her smugness and joy as she walked to Chu Yuexuan’s side and sighed with feigned regret, “I didn’t expect Miss Xia to be even more eager for a divorce than you are. But I can understand. She has already found a new partner in advance. She has probably been planning for this day for a long time. I originally felt a little guilty towards her, but now it seems there is no need for that.”
As she spoke, she took Chu Yuexuan's arm.
Before she could even touch him, Chu Yuexuan suddenly flew into a rage and shoved her away violently, yelling, "Get out!"
Caught off guard, Yu Jiaren's high heels gave way, and she twisted her ankle, falling backward to the ground with a pitiful scream.
She had dressed up specially for today, but now her moon-white dress was covered in dust, her heels were burning, and even her arms were scraped raw on the ground. The pain was secondary; the embarrassment was what she found most unbearable.
There were quite a few people outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the gossipy glances directed at her made her wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
"Yuexuan, what did I do wrong? Why..." Seeing that Chu Yuexuan showed no intention of helping her up, she struggled to her feet, tears streaming down her face. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and she dared not approach Chu Yuexuan again out of fear. "Shouldn't today be a happy day? You got what you wanted, and you can finally get rid of Xia Zhiying..."
"Shut up!" Chu Yuexuan's dark eyes were like a dark cloud pressing down. He took two steps forward and grabbed her wrist hard, so hard that it caused her a sharp pain in her wrist bone. "Do you really think I don't know what you've been up to?"
Yu Jiaren's face turned deathly pale. She stared in horror at his bloodshot eyes, swallowed hard, and stammered, "I...I don't understand...what you mean."
Chu Yuexuan closed his eyes, his mind filled with the image of Xia Zhiying's relieved expression as she left the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the scene of her getting into Li Mufeng's car and leaving without looking back. The excruciating pain surged up again.
A silent, violent tsunami seemed to erupt within his chest, and the pain and regret tormented him to the point of madness.
Before this, he thought he should be happy, or at least calm and composed, but now he couldn't fool himself at all.
He was completely wrong from beginning to end. The moment he received the marriage certificate, he even had the illusion that his soul and body had been separated. Otherwise, how could it feel like he had a ridiculous dream?
Li Mufeng's appearance brought him to his senses, forcing him to accept that Xia Zhiying had left his life from now on.
