Chapter 3 Her Divorce Agreement
"Please come in." The waiter pushed open the door to the private room and gestured for them to enter.
Shen Li stood at the door and could see the birthday party setup inside the private room at a glance.
Lu Yanchuan's friends' birthdays haven't arrived yet.
Besides these friends, he's not the type to celebrate birthdays with just anyone.
So, who are we celebrating for today? The answer is obvious.
A noisy commotion emanated from the private room.
The man sitting in the main seat was handsome, with a nonchalant smile playing on his lips.
A woman with delicate and pretty features sat very close to him.
The crowd was making a fuss.
"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"
Song Xiaowan smiled somewhat shyly and looked up at Lu Yanchuan timidly.
It seemed like they could kiss if they just got a little closer.
Su Yi saw Shen Li standing stiffly at the door and said with a smile, "Shen Li is here? Come in."
The once noisy private room fell eerily quiet.
Song Xiaowan's face turned pale, and the distance between her and Lu Yanchuan, which had been very close, instantly increased.
With an embarrassed expression, she said softly, "Yanchuan, should I leave first?"
Lu Yanchuan frowned and looked at Shen Li standing at the door. He hadn't seen her for several days, and seeing that she was quite quiet, he thought she had learned her lesson.
Unexpectedly...
Lu Yanchuan gave a cold, smirking look. "What are you doing here?"
Yes, what am I here for?
Shen Li also wanted to ask herself the same question.
Su Yi crossed his arms and chuckled, "I called her. You'd call her anyway, wouldn't you, even if you were drunk?"
"Meddlesome." Lu Yanchuan frowned and glanced at Su Yi.
Then he glanced at Shen Li indifferently and said, "You go back first."
Actually, Shen Li had already backed out when she first heard the commotion in the private room.
But at this moment, upon hearing Lu Yanchuan's words...
But suddenly she didn't intend to turn around and leave.
A five-year marriage should have a proper ending.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Seeing her standing at the door without making a move, Lu Yanchuan's voice suddenly turned cold.
Shen Li strode up to them.
There was no embarrassment in his expression, and his demeanor was calm and composed.
The less embarrassed she seemed, the more embarrassed Song Xiaowan appeared to be sitting there.
Lu Yanchuan frowned even more. What was she planning to do?
Shen Li looked at him and said, "I'm sorry to have bothered you for the past five years."
"Thank you for the farewell gifts." Shen Li handed him the file folder. "This is my return gift."
"What?" Lu Yanchuan's voice was cold, and he didn't take the file bag she handed him.
Seeing that he didn't take it, Shen Li handed it to Song Xiaowan, who was standing next to her.
Song Xiaowan's expression stiffened slightly. She bit her lip and reached out to take it. "This is..."
She opened the file bag, and only half of the document was pulled out. The words "Divorce Agreement" in bold font immediately caught everyone's eye.
"This is a birthday present for you," Shen Li said.
Someone tried to smooth things over.
"Chen Li, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out."
"Yes, sister-in-law, they're just friends, joking around, don't take it to heart."
Lu Yanchuan coldly curled the corner of his mouth, "Divorce?"
He casually grabbed the divorce agreement and slammed it onto the table.
Judging from his attitude towards this marriage over the past five years, it's not hard to see that Lu Yanchuan should be happy about the divorce.
But he doesn't look happy right now.
Shen Li felt that perhaps it was because she was the one who proposed the divorce that he lost face in front of his friends.
"You can contact me anytime when you have time to complete the procedures."
Shen Li looked at everyone and smiled, "Then I'll be going now. Have fun."
Shen Li is beautiful and has an ethereal air, which is no secret in Jiangcheng's social circles.
But it seems that only today have they truly appreciated this beauty emanating from her.
After Shen Li turned and left, the atmosphere in the private room became somewhat awkward.
"Uh... Yan Chuan, are you alright?"
"Should we go and have a serious talk with Shen Li?"
Lu Yanchuan stared coldly toward the door. "Talk? What's there to talk about? Divorce? Just don't regret it."
Seeing that Lu Yanchuan was in a bad mood, no one dared to try to persuade him further.
He simply said, "That's true. The Shen family is not what it used to be. Many of their projects rely on investment from the Lu family."
“Shen Li has always been sensible, and she will never be willful now.”
Only Song Xiaowan sat to the side, her expression somewhat stiff.
The atmosphere of the banquet became dull because of this little incident, and it ended not long afterward.
After the event, Song Xiaowan asked Lu Yanchuan in a low voice, "Achuan, you...don't you plan to divorce her?"
Lu Yanchuan curled his lips and ran his finger across Song Xiaowan's cheek. "It involves a lot of things, it's not such a simple matter."
Song Xiaowan looked at his handsome face, her eyes dimming. Was it because there were many things involved, or because he couldn't bear to part with her?
Song Xiaowan smiled and said, "That's true. Even raising a dog for five years can lead to developing a bond with it."
Although Lu Yanchuan had a smile on his lips, his deep eyes were cold and stern as he looked at the divorce agreement on the table.
Yes, even if he raised a dog for five years, he would have made it loyal.
Shen Li didn't hesitate at all when she asked for a divorce.
He couldn't raise a single ingrate even after five years.
"Want to come to my place?" Song Xiaowan asked shyly. "I just wanted to celebrate with you alone today."
Lu Yanchuan pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Have the driver take you home first. I still have some things to take care of."
Song Xiaowan's expression betrayed her disappointment.
"Let's pick out a car tomorrow," Lu Yanchuan said before getting out of the car. "Happy birthday."
Zhou Yan drove up and stopped in front of Lu Yanchuan.
"President, where to now?"
Lu Yanchuan glanced at the divorce agreement in his hand, his eyes flashing with coldness. "Go to Guanhai Garden."
But then I thought, it would be too much of a favor to her to go looking for her now.
Lu Yanchuan said in a deep voice, "Forget it, let's go tomorrow. Let's go back now."
The next day, when Lu Yanchuan arrived at Guanhai Garden with the divorce agreement in his hand, he discovered...
"What do you mean by not being able to get in?" Lu Yanchuan's voice was icy. "It's my house, why can't I get in?"
Zhou Yan was also surprised by this situation. "Maybe it's because the house has already been transferred to his wife's name, so she changed the locks?"
The original lock here was quite sophisticated; we just need to change the password.
She simply replaced all the chains.
Zhou Yan thought to himself, "My wife is very determined to divorce me."
"President, please wait a moment. I'll call your wife and ask."
"No need." Lu Yanchuan took out his phone and dialed Shen Li's number.
It rang several times before the other end answered.
"Hello?" Shen Li's voice was soft.
Lu Yanchuan gritted his teeth, "Chen Li, you actually changed the lock?"
There was silence on Shen Li's end. "It was changed a few days ago."
Lu Yanchuan's voice was cold, "Didn't you want a divorce? Let's meet and talk things over."
"Uh, I have something to do right now and can't get away. How about tomorrow? See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9:30 tomorrow morning."
It was very quiet on Shen Li's end, and her voice sounded soft.
Lu Yanchuan frowned. "Where are you now?"
With a "beep," the call ended on the other end.
