At night, the coastline of the Southern Hemisphere is shrouded in a layer of damp fog.
The room was so quiet it was almost deathly still.
until--
With a "ding" sound, the phone screen suddenly lit up.
Chu Wuyang subconsciously clicked on the message, glancing at the familiar sender's name.
Then I saw that headline—
Electronic file of the divorce agreement.
She felt as if she had been hit on the head, and her fingers tightened around her phone.
He froze there for several seconds.
No text was attached.
Only that cold, stamped legal document remained.
Her fingers trembled as she scrolled down, her vision growing increasingly blurry with each glance—
Chu Wuyang stood there, stunned.
Looking at the few pages of documents on the screen, my finger swiped to the last page, the property distribution clause—
Haicheng's real estate, vehicles, and shares in branch companies.
This even includes the portion of KOALA shares that she had previously used as an excuse to argue with him about.
He gave it all to her.
Without reservation.
It's like making a clean and efficient cut.
He doesn't want anything anymore.
He didn't care anymore.
Chu Wuyang felt a tightness in her chest, and her throat felt like it was filled with cement, making her unable to speak.
The phone slipped from between his fingers and hit the floor with a dull thud.
And her emotions collapsed at that moment.
A sudden, intense sobbing broke out.
It sounded like a choked sob, suffocating and driving you crazy.
She covered her face tightly, but couldn't stop the suffocating sobs, each one more tearful than the last.
Outside the door, Yang Jinchu stood at the end of the corridor, his expression gradually changing.
That kind of crying sounded like someone's heart being ripped open and torn apart alive.
He clenched his fist, took a few steps forward, and gently knocked on the door.
"Yangyang?"
There was no response from inside, only lower, hoarse sobs, as if someone was desperately trying to hold back their tears.
Yang Jinchu knocked again.
"Yangyang, open the door—don't scare me."
After a few seconds of silence, he turned to the servant and whispered instructions.
"Go get the spare key."
When the door was opened,
Chu Wuyang was curled up in the corner of the bed, trembling all over, her face buried in her arms, her shoulders shaking with each sob.
Yang Jinchu's eyes darkened instantly.
He strode over, knelt down opposite her, gently pulled her hand away, and spoke cautiously.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Wuyang didn't speak; her eyes were red as if they had been soaking in salt water for too long, and her voice was hoarse and soulless.
"The divorce papers... he... he's really gone."
Yang Jinchu sighed softly and draped his coat over her shoulders.
"Yangyang, don't cry,"
"What you did was right."
His voice was soft, but every word was firm.
"His departure is the best outcome. If he had stayed by your side, you would only have become a sitting duck for the Kim family, and he himself would have faced repercussions."
"You are saving yourself, and you are also saving him."
Chu Wuyang shook her head, tears still streaming down her face.
Looking at her almost collapsing state, Yang Jinchu's tone was full of reassurance.
"Old Master Jin won't live much longer. People who sense their impending death will only go mad more and more. He definitely won't let Jing Min go. Even his own son is just a tool to be used in his eyes, let alone his estranged grandson."
“If Jingmin doesn’t return to the Jin family, he will definitely kill him without any mercy.”
Yang Jinchu's tone was as cold as ice.
"So you did the right thing. Life is the most important thing, isn't it?"
Chu Wuyang closed her eyes, nodded, but cried even harder.
She knew all of this, she knew everything.
But I just can't stop the pain.
The divorce agreement was finally signed.
The entire process was handled online by Yan Zhou, and the other party spoke in a distant and polite manner.
The moment the signature page fell,
Chu Wuyang stared at the "Auto-complete" status message, his finger hovering on the screen for a second before silently moving away.
"Take care, Miss Chu."
Yan Zhou spoke in a low voice on the other end of the phone, as if he were completing one last important handover.
Chu Wuyang paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and finally asked the question.
"How...is he?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
Yan Zhou seemed to be weighing the options, or perhaps hesitating.
As Jing Min's most trusted right-hand man, he shouldn't have overstepped his bounds, but in the end, he still replied in a low voice.
"President Jing, something's wrong!"
The sound seemed to come from a very distant place, as deep and resonant as if it had sunk to the bottom of water.
"It's very bad."
He paused for a few seconds after speaking, as if he were regretting something, or perhaps saying goodbye.
"I've said too much. Goodbye."
With a beep, the call ended.
The phone screen went black again, and the whole room was so quiet that only the ticking of the clock could be heard.
Chu Wuyang sat there motionless, as if the air around her had frozen.
From that moment on, she and Jingmin had no further connection.
It was a complete, clean farewell, leaving no room for misunderstanding.
With his recovery certificate, without any weaknesses or attachments, he vanished completely from her world like a proper heir to the Jin family.
The phone vibrated slightly, and a system notification popped up:
[Contract signed successfully, document archived]
She didn't go to see it.
Suddenly, I started to wonder if she would ever see Jingmin again in this lifetime.
Or rather... in his lifetime, would he still want to see her?
——
Haicheng Airport, at the end of the tarmac.
The Kim family's private jet had already started up, its gangway hanging steadily, as if waiting to welcome a belated king back to the throne.
Jingmin stood in the wind, motionless.
The night was quiet, but his face was shockingly pale, and the faint blue shadows under his eyes made it seem as if he had just escaped from his sickbed.
