Chapter 439 Applying for Divorce at the Civil Affairs Bureau
Qi Mingxuan subconsciously looked at Qi Yue.
The moment Qi Yue saw his mother looking over, he turned around and walked to the claw machine next to him.
This child is just too sensible.
She's so sensible it breaks my heart.
Qi Mingxuan sighed inwardly and turned her gaze to Han Mingyu.
“We got married within two months of each other. We’ve argued and fought a lot. I feel like we’re really not a good match.”
This was her answer.
But Han Mingyu was still unwilling to let this opportunity slip away. "I know about my past problems, and I will change them. Is that not allowed?"
"Forget it." Qi Mingxuan shook her head. "Right now, I just want to break up with you."
"But I don't want to, Qi Mingxuan. I regret it. I know I wasn't good to you before. I really will change. Please give me another chance."
He stared at her, his tone humble, "Just this once, I really can change."
Qi Mingxuan looked at him.
To be honest, Han Mingyu's humble plea for peace was something she had never dared to hope for before.
But it was too late.
If it weren't for what happened that night, she might have really softened her heart.
But ironically, the harm that happened that night was real.
She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said, "Han Mingyu, it's exhausting to hate someone because of love. I don't want to bring up what you did to me anymore. We're not young people in our early twenties anymore. We're successful now, and we'll run into each other all the time in Beicheng. Let's part amicably and leave each other some face. It's better for both of us and for Qi Yue."
Han Mingyu looked at her.
Compared to her fierce and hostile attitude in the first few days, she was so calm now that Han Mingyu couldn't even utter a single word to persuade her to stay.
He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I understand. I agree to the divorce."
Qi Mingxuan nodded: "If you think the divorce agreement is okay, let's set a time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"There is now a cooling-off period for divorce."
"I know," Qi Mingxuan said. "Let's go and file for divorce first."
"Then let's do it the day after tomorrow," Han Mingyu said. "The Civil Affairs Bureau is closed tomorrow."
"Okay." Qi Mingxuan replied and walked towards Qi Yue.
Qi Yue saw his mother coming and ran towards her.
He reached out and took his mother's hand, then turned to look at Han Mingyu.
Han Mingyu stood still and waved to him.
Qi Yue waved to him, then turned and followed his mother.
The mall was bustling with people, and Han Mingyu stood there watching Qi Mingxuan pull Qi Yue away little by little.
...
On Monday, Qi Mingxuan woke up and glanced at the time.
It's not even eight o'clock yet.
She got up, washed up, and changed into a suit.
While she was putting on makeup at her vanity, Han Mingyu called.
"Are you up?" Han Mingyu's voice was deep and slightly hoarse on the other end of the phone.
"Okay." Qi Mingxuan's voice was calm. "I can get there at nine o'clock."
"good."
"I don't have the marriage certificate with me, remember to bring it," Qi Mingxuan reminded her.
When they got married, Han Mingyu took both marriage certificates, saying that the elders in his family needed to keep them.
Qi Mingxuan was afraid that he would forget to ask his elders for the money, which would delay his business.
Han Mingyu said, "I told the elders last night."
Hearing this, Qi Mingxuan felt relieved. "Then let's meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Mingxuan continued applying makeup.
She's been sick a lot lately, and she's lost a lot of weight. She looks pale and tired, but after putting on makeup, she looks much more energetic.
...
Qi Mingxuan arrived at 8:50.
The driver parked the car on the street next to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Qi Mingxuan pushed open the car door and got out.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw Han Mingyu waiting on the steps.
He was wearing a dark gray shirt and black trousers that hugged his long legs.
Several women passed by him, turning to look at him.
Qi Mingxuan wore a white shirt and light-colored washed denim jeans today. The jeans were high-waisted and cropped, and her legs were straight and long.
She walked towards Han Mingyu, her ponytail swaying gently with her steps.
Her face was covered in exquisite makeup, but her expression was indifferent.
She walked quickly and steadily in seven-centimeter stilettos.
She's back to her usual strong, independent woman persona.
As Han Mingyu watched her walk towards him step by step, he couldn't help but recall the day they got their marriage certificate two months ago.
That day, Qi Mingxuan wore a light blue dress with a hem that reached her ankles. Her long hair was permed into soft waves. Although it wasn't a formal outfit, she looked gentle and charming.
Han Mingyu was filled with mixed emotions.
He didn't know why two extreme temperaments could coexist in Qi Mingxuan.
He truly never understood this woman.
...
Qi Mingxuan walked over and looked at him: "Go inside."
After saying that, she took the lead and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Han Mingyu pursed his lips and frowned as he followed behind her.
These days, there are more people getting divorced than getting married.
Qi Mingxuan took a number, found an empty seat, and sat down to wait.
Han Mingyu walked over and sat down next to her.
There were also several couples around them whose atmosphere was clearly off; they seemed to be there to get divorced as well.
Han Mingyu tried to talk to Qi Mingxuan several times, but Qi Mingxuan had been pressing her phone ever since she sat down.
She was busy with work and occasionally answered the phone.
She was very busy, and the divorce was just a small part of her busy day.
Han Mingyu sat beside her, watching her focused on her work, and a pang of sadness welled up in his heart.
He didn't like Qi Mingxuan like this, but he had to admit that Qi Mingxuan was dazzling.
He had already noticed that all the men around him were paying attention to Qi Mingxuan.
Han Mingyu felt incredibly bitter.
Qi Mingxuan finally ended the call.
Han Mingyu asked her, "Are you attending the charity event tonight?"
Qi Mingxuan paused, turned her head to look at him, and said, "I haven't considered it."
Han Mingyu said "Oh," and then added, "If you're not going, then I won't go either."
Qi Mingxuan didn't care whether he went or not.
Just then, their number was called over the loudspeaker.
Qi Mingxuan stood up: "It's our turn, let's go."
She took the documents and walked towards the processing window.
Decisive and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.
Han Mingyu was extremely unwilling, but he still had no choice but to get up and follow.
The divorce application process doesn't take long.
"Alright, keep the receipts safe. You can get your divorce certificates after the one-month cooling-off period. If you change your minds in the middle, you don't need to come back. Your divorce application will be automatically cancelled here."
Qi Mingxuan took her share, got up, and walked out.
Han Mingyu grabbed his things and quickly caught up with her.
"Qi Mingxuan, don't rush off, I have something to tell you."
Qi Mingxuan paused, turned around and looked at him, "Is there anything else, Mr. Han?"
Han Mingyu pursed his lips, deciding to go for it.
"Look, I'm doing whatever you say now, and I've even agreed to a divorce. So, can you give me another chance?"
Qi Mingxuan frowned. "President Han, do you think divorce is some kind of game?"
"No, you misunderstood me. What I meant was, after we get divorced, could you give me another chance to pursue you? I promise I'll do my best this time..."
"No need." Qi Mingxuan said coldly, "I've loved you for eighteen years, that's enough. Even if I wanted to talk about relationships in the future, I wouldn't go back to an ex, considering your conditions, Mr. Han..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but gave Han Mingyu a meaningful look before turning and leaving.
Han Mingyu was deeply provoked by that look from her!
He felt humiliated!
"Qi Mingxuan, what do you mean?!"
Qi Mingxuan walked to the car, opened the door, and got inside.
Just as he was about to close the door, Han Mingyu grabbed it with his large hand.
She frowned, looking at Han Mingyu outside the car. "Mr. Han, are you ever going to stop?"
Han Mingyu looked at her anxiously and said, "I had no experience before, and I didn't know you wouldn't like that. I was wrong, and I sincerely apologize to you."
Qi Mingxuan was stunned, then realized he was referring to that matter, and her face turned ugly: "Are you sick? Let go!"
"I'm serious!" Han Mingyu held onto the door tightly, refusing to let go. "Qi Mingxuan, I really didn't mean it. If you had told me from the beginning that you couldn't accept something like that, I definitely wouldn't have treated you like that..."
Didn't I say that?
Han Mingyu was taken aback. "What?"
"Han Mingyu, I've said it before," Qi Mingxuan looked into his eyes, "If you really cared about me, if you really cared about my feelings, you wouldn't be able to say such things with a clear conscience now!"
Han Mingyu stared at her blankly.
Suddenly, I remembered the night they got their marriage certificate, when she said she didn't like it...
Han Mingyu's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at her in disbelief.
"Don't look at me like that." Qi Mingxuan sneered. "We're divorced. You can go find Lin Xiaoyue from now on. She might be more than willing."
After Qi Mingxuan finished speaking, she slammed the door shut!
The car drove away in front of Han Mingyu.
Han Mingyu stood still, watching the car disappear into the distance.
A chill ran down his spine.
…
Qi Mingxuan went directly to Ronghao Group after returning from the Civil Affairs Bureau.
As soon as Anmi entered the office, she walked in carrying a pile of documents.
"Mr. Qi, these are urgent documents and require your signature."
Qi Mingxuan took the document, opened it for quick review, then opened the pen cap and signed her name in the signature column.
"Also, this is the invitation to tonight's charity gala. This charity event is specifically for impoverished children. I've checked, and the organizers have a history of working with President Huanxing Chen, so it should be reliable."
Qi Mingxuan paused, then looked up: "Impoverished children?"
"Yes."
Qi Mingxuan recalled what Qi Yue had said that day.
"I understand. Go and order me an evening gown. Also, donate ten million in Qi Yue's name."
"OK."
After Anmi left, Qi Mingxuan continued working.
In the evening, Anmi brought out her evening gown.
It was a black floor-length gown, with a simple and elegant design, and the cutout design at the waist prevented it from being too revealing.
Qi Mingxuan was quite satisfied.
Anmi understood her as always.
After finishing her work, Qi Mingxuan went to the break room in the office to change into an evening gown.
She let her ponytail down and used a hairpin to tie up her waist-length hair, revealing her slender, fair neck and delicate collarbone.
After carefully examining myself in the full-length mirror, I felt that my neck looked a bit bare.
But there was no jewelry here, so Qi Mingxuan simply ignored it.
Anmi pushed open the door and entered as soon as she came out of the lounge.
"Mr. Qi, Mrs. Han has arrived."
Qi Mingxuan was taken aback.
Why would Han's mother come?
Although she was surprised, she immediately asked Anmi to invite the person in.
"Mrs. Han, please come in."
Anmi respectfully invited Mrs. Han into her office.
When Qi Mingxuan saw her, she instinctively called out, "Mom."
As soon as she uttered the words, she was startled and looked somewhat awkward.
“Xiaoxuan,” Han’s mother walked over and held her hand affectionately, “It’s right to call me Mom. Han Mingyu is Han Mingyu, and I am me. You can’t hold me accountable, or I’ll be heartbroken.”
Qi Mingxuan smiled slightly, "Some rules still need to be followed."
"Rules are rules, but people are flexible. I know you and Mingyu went to apply for divorce registration today. Mom will say it again: no matter what decision you make, Mom will be on your side. Before the divorce, I'm your mother-in-law; after the divorce, I'm your godmother! Anyway, I'm still your mom, so don't worry about changing how you address me!"
