As Ye Xinning was thinking this, she hesitated whether to call Shen Lin to ask about the specific time. In front of her, a tall and slender figure appeared. She vaguely guessed who it was. When she looked up, she saw Shen Lin standing in front of her with a cold gaze.
She pursed her lips, about to speak, when Shen Lin spoke first, his tone full of sarcasm, "Coming so early, you really can't wait to divorce me, huh?"
Ye Xinning lowered her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's finish the formalities as soon as possible. My law firm still has some things to do. I'm thinking that you're also busy, so it's better if we can all get things done quickly and go about our own business."
"Don't try to sound noble, Ye Xinning. Do you think I don't know that you're so eager to get a divorce because you want to find the father of your child? Or perhaps you want to find the person who gave you that bracelet? Or maybe you want to find Huo Yanzhi?"
Ye Xinning sat frozen in her seat. This wasn't the first time Shen Lin had said such things, but whether in the past or now, these words were incredibly hurtful. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she were being gripped by an invisible hand and was about to suffocate.
"Let's get the formalities done first."
"So eager?"
"Didn't you already say that? If I'm slower, wouldn't I be letting down what you said?" Ye Xinning's few words once again made Shen Lin's gaze deep and gloomy.
Without saying a word, he walked straight to the service desk. Ye Xinning watched his back, sighed softly in her heart, and got up to follow him.
The couple sat down at the divorce table. The staff looked at their outstanding looks and extraordinary demeanor, and could tell at a glance that they were either rich or noble.
Moreover, why would such a handsome and beautiful couple get divorced?
The staff member had many questions in mind, but outwardly followed the procedure: "Are you two here to get a divorce?"
"Hmm." Shen Lin didn't react at all, and Ye Xinning replied with a gentle smile.
"Have you two thought it through?" The staff member explained to them, and then mentioned the cooling-off period for divorce, but Ye Xinning firmly refused, "I'm sorry, we've thought it through very clearly, there's no need for a cooling-off period, you can proceed directly."
"But according to the rules, you should all go through these procedures. Go back and come back during the divorce cooling-off period."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin felt a sense of relief for some reason. He turned to look at Ye Xinning and said, "Did you hear that? Let's go."
Shen Lin got up to leave, but Ye Xinning remained seated.
The next second, she handed a file folder to the staff member. Shen Lin squinted and stared intently into her eyes.
Ye Xinning was not affected in the slightest and continued, "These are facts that are unnecessary for our marriage to exist. You can take a look."
The staff began to look at the documents Ye Xinning handed over. They detailed how her relationship with Shen Lin had become distant after their marriage, as well as Shen Lin's relationship with Jiang An, including some photos and such.
After reviewing all the documents, the staff realized that these two were the same people who had been extensively reported in the media before. One was a lawyer, and the other was a powerful CEO with a net worth of over 10 billion.
In the circles of the wealthy, divorces and marriages are common, as are extramarital affairs. Seeing how determined the two were, the staff knew there was no need for a divorce cooling-off period. If they hadn't really decided to divorce, they wouldn't have come here.
After the staff agreed, the procedures were completed very quickly, and Ye Xinning received the divorce certificate from the staff in no time.
Overall, the process was quite quick. Ye Xinning said a simple thank you and got up to leave.
Shen Lin stared at the divorce certificate in front of him, his gaze chillingly cold.
He grabbed the conspicuous divorce certificate in front of him and followed Ye Xinning's steps.
He quickly caught up with Ye Xinning. There were people coming and going outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, but Shen Lin ignored them and grabbed Ye Xinning's hand, forcibly making her stop.
Ye Xinning frowned as she looked at her wrist, which was being held by Shen Lin. She whispered a reminder, "Mr. Shen, we have no relationship anymore. Isn't this a bit impolite?"
Shen Lin completely ignored the distance in her words, "When did you start preparing those things?"
Ye Xinning was stunned for a moment before she realized that Shen Lin was referring to the evidence she had just handed to the staff.
"When I first learned of Jiang An's existence, I was already preparing for a divorce, so I had people investigate these things."
She had prepared for the worst: if Shen Lin refused to divorce her, she would take the documents to court and divorce him at any cost.
Shen Lin's eyes darkened further. He never expected that she was so well prepared. Did this marriage no longer hold any appeal for her?
"Ye Xinning, you chose to divorce, so you have to bear all the consequences yourself."
Shen Lin uttered these words and, without pausing, strode forward, quickly disappearing from Ye Xinning's sight.
Ye Xinning lowered her head, looking at the spot where Shen Lin had gripped her tightly before. She felt as if the spot had been burned by fire, and it hurt terribly.
She told herself that from now on, she would be herself and Shen Lin would be Shen Lin, and there would be no more connection between them.
She should adjust her emotions and understand that even if she loved Shen Lin deeply in the past, it's time to let go.
...
Ye Xinning drove back to the law firm and ran into Xiao Chen as she entered. Xiao Chen greeted her, "Have you finished your work?"
"Um, sorry, I'm late for work again."
Xiao Chen looked at her; there was no smile in her eyes, but she still forced a smile at him.
Xiao Chen asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Ye Xinning thought about her divorce from Shen Lin. Even if she didn't say anything, Xiao Chen would find out sooner or later. So she pursed her red lips and said, "Shen Lin and I went to complete the procedures. We... got divorced."
As soon as she said that, Xiao Chen's expression changed instantly.
"What? You got divorced? That was so sudden?"
"Sudden? I think it's okay."
"But Shen Lin didn't want a divorce, did he? How did you convince him this time?"
Ye Xinning recalled that when Shen Lin signed the document, he did hesitate and did ask her a question.
—Ye Xinning, if you can't bear to part with her, I can take you away now. But once this is signed, even if you beg me, we'll never have a chance to remarry.
What did she say at the time?
—Mr. Shen is of such high status, it's impossible for him to back out at the last minute.
"Perhaps I provoked him; his pride wouldn't allow him not to sign."
