I was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Fu Qichuan.
He looked normal, with gentle eyes and brows, and held me in his arms. He really didn't look like someone who came to get a divorce at all.
The floor in the hall was dry. I gently broke free from his hand and pursed my lips. "No, we're here to get a divorce."
"oh……"
The staff expressed some regret, "It's not easy for two people to be together. You seemed to be in a good relationship, so why are you getting a divorce? Divorce is no small matter. Don't be impulsive. Once there's a rift, it's very difficult to reconcile."
I dropped my eyes, helplessly saying, "You may have gotten the order wrong. Cracks don't arise because of divorce, but cracks lead to divorce."
Few couples would want to divorce unless they are forced to do so.
The staff member stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Well, go ahead. It's raining so hard right now, there aren't many people around. You can go to any window that's open."
"Okay, thank you."
I thanked him and found the nearest empty window to sit down. "Hello, I'm here to get a divorce."
"Did you bring all the information?"
"I brought it."
I handed over my ID card, marriage certificate, and household registration booklet, then looked at Fu Qichuan, who was still standing. "Where's yours?"
He seemed to be in a trance, and only reacted after hearing the voice. On his flawless handsome face, a dark and unclear emotion surged. "I brought it."
The voice was a little hoarse.
"Give it to me."
The staff member stretched out his hand, but saw that Fu Qichuan was motionless. The veins on the hand holding the file bag were bulging, and he did not move for a long time.
I couldn't help but urge, "Fu Qichuan?"
"Um."
He responded softly, and a hint of pain seemed to flash in his eyes.
But in the end, under my urging, he handed over the file bag.
The staff frowned, "Are you divorcing voluntarily?"
"yes."
I answered without hesitation, but the person next to me remained silent.
The staff member looked at Fu Qichuan and said, "What about the men? If you haven't thought it through, go home and discuss it."
"He's thought it through, too."
I said calmly, "This marriage certificate is in my hand. I could hurt someone else at any time, so he's thinking clearly."
After my reminder, Fu Qichuan closed his eyes and agreed.
But I was the only one who could see that his lowered hands were clenched into fists, as he was suppressing his emotions.
But I didn't soften my heart.
No matter how much he thinks about it, he has made his choice.
Why do you have to act so affectionate in front of me?
The staff member flipped through the documents and asked, "Do you have any children? And is your property divided up clearly?"
"No children."
I suppressed my bitterness and continued, "The property is clearly divided. It's written in the divorce agreement. I only want one house."
"Hey, why didn't you sign the divorce agreement?"
The staff member handed over the agreement and said, "What's written on it is different from what you said. Please discuss it with the side first and sign it before coming back."
"OK."
I took the agreement aside.
I clearly signed the agreement before I gave it to Fu Qichuan last time.
I frowned, glanced at Fu Qichuan in confusion, and then looked at the divorce agreement.
Soon, he found out that it was not the one I drafted, so he changed it.
In addition to the apartment in Linjiangyuan, there is also the 10% share.
I licked my lips and looked at Fu Qichuan, "I said, I only want the house, I don't want the shares."
I have an apartment to live in and I am able to support myself and my children, which is more than enough.
The purpose of divorce is to end things cleanly and clearly, but since I hold this 10% stake, we are bound to meet again and frequently.
Fu Qichuan's jaw was tense, but his voice was gentle and deep, and he didn't allow for any argument. "It was originally yours."
"The shares were left by your mother, right? She probably wanted to find a daughter-in-law for her."
He was slightly startled, "How do you know?"
My marriage was nearing its end, so there was no need to be coy. I told him frankly, "I overheard what you and Grandpa said in the office that day. I also heard you admit that you no longer had any feelings for me. In fact, this marriage might have been wrong from the beginning."
"no."
He denied it almost urgently, frowned and thought for a moment before explaining, "I didn't admit to that question. You misunderstood..."
I was not in a hurry to argue. I looked at him quietly and smiled faintly, "Then have you ever loved me?"
“…”
Fu Qichuan was stunned for a moment. This question might be too difficult for him. "Nanzhi..."
"Don't explain, it will make me look pathetic."
I smiled calmly, "Please ask Qin Ze to bring the agreement I gave you. In the future, you will marry someone else, and it is not appropriate for me to hold these shares..."
He suddenly interrupted with a resounding voice, every word serious, "I won't marry."
My eyelashes trembled. "Then... it's yours. Boss, it's not appropriate for me to hold these shares."
I don’t think I’m that free and easy.
After all, they have loved each other for so many years, and now that they are divorced, it is not appropriate for them to meet again.
Let time erase all traces of the past instead of repeatedly touching your scars.
Moreover, if Fu Jinan knew about the shares, I would definitely be uneasy.
Since you're breaking up, don't leave any possibility for further entanglement.
"Are you so afraid of having anything to do with me?"
Fu Qichuan's face darkened, he glanced at his watch, and pursed his lips. "I only have five minutes left. If you don't want to sign, then we can do it next time."
"Do it, do it now."
I gritted my teeth and signed my name neatly in the blank space.
No matter how hot the potato is, there is always a solution.
The most urgent thing is to complete the formalities.
When I returned to the window, the staff had already checked the other documents and then took the divorce agreement back to look at it.
After confirming that everything was correct, I submitted an application for divorce registration.
"Sign this and come back in thirty days to get the divorce certificate."
After the routine explanation, the staff member added, "I see you both have feelings for each other. Other couples divorce over property, fighting tooth and nail, scheming and calculating. But you two are different. One of you insists on giving, and the other insists on not taking it."
"You misunderstood. He doesn't have feelings for me."
I smiled and said soberly, "He simply has a lot of money."
"I've seen so many marriages and divorces, I can't be wrong. If you still have feelings for each other, take advantage of the divorce cooling-off period to think it over carefully. If you regret it, cancel it."
Beside him, the man who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up: "Can it be revoked at any time?"
"Yes, within 30 days, just come on a weekday."
Then, push the signed registration application over.
When I walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau again, I felt as if I had just woken up from a dream.
It seems as if these three years have been just a long dream.
The rain continued to fall. Fu Qichuan opened the umbrella at the door and said in a voice as moist as the air, "I'll take you to the car."
"Okay, thank you."
I spoke politely but distantly, and dodged when he reached out to put his arm around my shoulder, trying to be a good ex-wife.
He didn't force it. The umbrella wasn't very big, but not even a hair on my head got wet.
After sending me to the car, he suddenly called me. I subconsciously said "hmm", and the next second, he hugged me tightly in his arms.
Very hard, so hard that it seemed as if he wanted to rub me into his body.
I thought about the last question he asked at the window and couldn't help but confirm: "Fu Qichuan, you are definitely going to get a divorce, right? You won't regret it halfway, right?"
