Shen Xinglan stared blankly at Mu Wanting, her eyes filled with pain.
Why is she laughing? How can she still laugh?
How come she doesn't feel uncomfortable at all?
He was in so much pain he was about to die.
He was in so much pain he felt like he was going to die.
Mu Wanting said, "Look on the bright side, actually we're doing this for each other's good."
Shen Xinglan asked, "So after we divorce, will you still go to see my older brother?"
Mu Wanting thought for a moment: "If it weren't for you, I would still like your older brother, but after everything that happened with you, I'm not sure anymore."
As Shen Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Wanting added quietly.
"Maybe I'll go, maybe I won't, but your older brother is definitely the type I'd like."
Shen Xinglan felt as if her body had been riddled with holes, how could she say such things so calmly and honestly?
He hated her honesty.
Just then, Shen Xinghe's voice rang out from outside.
"Mu Wanting, I'll take you somewhere."
Shen Xinglan gripped the bed frame tightly, her eyes fixed on Mu Wanting.
A smile appeared on her face, just like when she was pursuing him. He really hadn't seen her like this in a long time.
Shen Xinglan was too sad to speak. He wanted to tell her not to go, but she, like a little butterfly, had already happily opened the door to the room.
"Here you are."
Then, right under his nose, they went out.
Shen Xinghe glanced at him indifferently.
"Little brother, take good care of your injury."
He was surprisingly nonchalant and felt no remorse whatsoever.
Shen Xinglan suddenly felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.
Mu Wanting said that they had spent more than a month together on the mountain. Mu Wanting liked him and was willing to pursue him despite his cold attitude towards her for several years.
And what about him? What about his older brother? Could he also like Mu Wanting?
The two brothers have such similar tastes; they've liked the same things since they were little. So what about people?
Are they the same?
Before Murong Rong and Liu Shi interfered, Shen Xinglan was indeed quite fond of Mu Wanting.
Even so, he never admits it.
But even if he admits it now, he knows that Mu Wanting doesn't really care.
Why should he humiliate himself?
Moreover, Shen Xinghe appears enthusiastic on the outside, but he is actually quite distant. He only invests his attention in things he likes, and doesn't pay much attention to things he doesn't like.
During his return this time, he saw Mu Wanting far more often than he saw his own younger brother.
He took a deep breath.
"No, Mu Wanting is still his wife."
Just thinking about it made him tear the bed frame to shreds.
Once outside, Shen Xinghe spoke.
"I have information about your older brother."
Mu Wanting stopped in her tracks, her heart pounding uncontrollably. She barely knew how to express her gratitude to Shen Xinghe.
She had been sending people to search for her elder brother, but they hadn't been able to find him.
"Brother Shen, please take me there quickly."
A hint of a smile appeared in Shen Xinghe's eyes as he led Mu Wanting to an assassin training base. The people here underwent extremely rigorous training; it was a bloody and dark place.
"According to our scouts, your elder brother is currently out on a mission. We're only staying in Brother Ren's area for now. We'll come back later."
Mu Wanting nodded repeatedly and went back with Shen Xinghe.
Shen Xinglan quietly looked at Mu Wanting. In the past, Mu Wanting would have told him where she had gone, but now she was just giving him acupuncture as a routine before leaving.
Looking at her back, Shen Xinglan felt a sudden, inexplicable panic, and he quickly reached out and grabbed Mu Wanting's hand.
Mu Wanting asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Xinglan said, "Mu Wanting, can we not get a divorce?"
Mu Wanting shook her head: "No, you know that, Shen Xinglan. If we're together, we'll only be torturing each other. Wouldn't it be better to give each other a way out?"
Shen Xinglan gripped Mu Wanting's hand tighter and tighter, then suddenly relaxed it.
A smile appeared on his lips.
"Okay, let's get a divorce then."
For some reason, even though he was smiling, Mu Wanting felt that he was very sad.
Mu Wanting quickly grabbed paper and pen, afraid he might change his mind.
This is just like when Shen Xinglan first lifted the veil and saw that the goods were not as described, and she was so eager to get a divorce.
His heart was stabbed again.
Because of her hesitation, a drop of ink dripped onto the paper. Mu Wanting immediately pulled the paper away and replaced it with a brand new one.
"Write it on this sheet."
A hint of mockery crept into the smile on his lips.
"You're well prepared."
Mu Wanting nodded: "Yes, because it's a very important matter."
Another drop of ink fell onto the paper, and Mu Wanting replaced it with another sheet.
Shen Xinglan could no longer maintain her smile.
He wanted to appear more respectable, but he couldn't.
Divorce is never dignified.
Looking at Mu Wanting again, she was in better condition than ever before, and even seemed somewhat expectant.
She was like a bird that had been in a cage for too long and finally had a chance to escape, excitedly waiting at the cage door.
What need did he have to restrain her?
He quickly wrote the divorce papers, and the last sentence, "Let us part ways peacefully and each find our own happiness," brought tears to his eyes.
