Chapter 94 Butterfly Watch: Reluctant to Part

On Monday, the Civil Affairs Bureau started work.

Pei Jinyan and Xu Han went in to handle the divorce procedures.

Xu Zhen and Xu's father each had a suitcase and sat on the stone benches outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Father Xu took out a bank card and handed it to Xu Zhen: "Get a divorce. The money in the card is the money I've saved over the years. It's not much. If you spend it frugally, it should be enough for you to use for a few years. The password is Weiwei's birthday."

Xu Zhen took the card and asked, "How much money is in the card?"

Father Xu: "One hundred thousand."

Xu Zhen rolled her eyes and wanted to say that one hundred thousand was of no use, but then she thought again that she didn't even have ten thousand yuan on her body, so she held back.

Divorce or not, she has long wanted to stop living with him. Before, she was worried that she would have to give him the company's assets in the divorce, but now she doesn't have that worry anymore.

Xu Zhen stood up and walked towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Father Xu looked at the rising sun in the sky and followed him in.

After completing the divorce procedures, Pei Jinyan got into the car and drove away without any communication with Xu Han.

Xu Han watched the silhouette of the car gradually disappear, then slowly walked to the stone bench and sat down.

Xu Zhen and Xu's father completed the divorce procedures and came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Mr. Xu pushed the suitcase and walked away in silence.

Xu Zhen said sarcastically: "Men are indeed all treacherous and unfaithful."

Xu Han was holding a second-hand cell phone that he had bought cheaply. He was so annoyed that he asked, "Where is Xu Wei?"

"Who knows where that damn girl is now." Xu Zhen cursed, "Let's find a place to stay first. I have less than 10,000 yuan in my hand now. We have to find a job quickly."

The two of them went to a hotel in a small alley on the street to get a room. Xu Han looked around at the dirty and messy environment and wished he could die.

The hotel owner returned their ID cards and said, "We are full here, go somewhere else."

Xu Zhen was furious: "Why didn't you tell me that the place was full just now? I don't even want to live in such a shabby place like yours."

"What's going on? Are you making trouble?" The proprietress clapped her hands, and the side door opened, and several burly thugs came out.

Xu Han took the ID card, Xu Zhen picked up the suitcase and left quickly.

I went into several more hotels and the situation was the same as the first one.

Xu Han realized that it was Pei Jinyan's work. Just as he said that night, he would not let the Xu family have any foothold in Beijing North.

Xu Zhen refused to believe it and wanted to go into another house, but Xu Han stopped her and said, "It will be the same result no matter how many houses we go into. We have to take a bus and leave Beijing North, otherwise we will have to sleep under the overpass tonight."

Xu Zhen pushed the suitcase and cursed Pei Jinyan as he walked. After cursing Pei Jinyan, he started cursing Xu's father and Xu Wei.

Sitting on the bus, Xu Han leaned against the window. She knew in her heart that the person Xu Zhen wanted to scold the most was actually her. She was now a useless burden to her.

The road ahead was bumpy and confusing. As the bus drove out of northern Beijing, Xu Han could no longer hold back her tears, which she had been holding back for days. She covered her face and cried bitterly.

A half-drunk man in the back seat was woken up by the noise and shouted angrily, "What are you crying about? Go down and cry if you want to."

No one in the car dared to stand up and speak, and Xu Han gritted his teeth and swallowed his words.

Xu Zhencai was too lazy to pay attention and sent messages to Xu Wei one after another. He couldn't raise her in vain. When she got married, the betrothal gift would be her support for the rest of her life.

She was daydreaming, unaware that Xu Wei had already left Beijing on a plane on Saturday morning and flew abroad with the married man who was pursuing her to find a new springboard.

Yuhua Mingyuan.

On Friday night, after dinner, the family went for a walk in the back garden.

The early summer evening breeze carries a slight warmth, and the sound of cicadas can be heard one after another.

Pei Yuning has been very clingy these days, and she is also very well behaved, which makes people feel soft-hearted. Shang Yanci deliberately chose to leave tomorrow morning, so that she can live in her own home, with her family by her side, and she won't miss him too much.

After taking a walk, washing and resting, Pei Yuning took out a square velvet gift box from the upper drawer of the bedside cabinet and handed it to him: "A Yan, open it and take a look."

Shang Yanci took it and opened the gift box. Inside was an exquisite and expensive watch with a silver bracelet and a white dial with a diamond-engraved butterfly. The color was the same as the tattoo on his little finger, and the style of the butterfly was the same as the tattoo on his heart.

"Baby, I like it very much." The watch is secondary, her thought is the most important.

Pei Yuning raised her hand to take off the watch on his left hand, put her own watch on his wrist, and ordered in a delicate tone: "When you wear my watch, every time you check the time, you must think of me."

Shang Yanci chuckled and coaxed her softly, "Even if I didn't have this watch, I would still think about the baby all the time."

Pei Yuning rested her head on his chest muscles, listening to his steady and orderly heartbeat, and said softly: "We have to video chat every day. I will come back as soon as I finish my work. I can't keep thinking about you but can't hug you. I don't like this feeling."

Shang Yanci stroked her thick curly hair and promised her, "Okay, I will be back as soon as possible."

Pei Yuning whispered, "Don't wake me up when you leave tomorrow morning. I won't go to the airport to see you off."

Shang Yanci said gently, "Okay."

Pei Yuning kissed him clingily and promised in a coquettish tone: "But when you come back, I will drive to pick you up."

Shang Yanci looked at himself in her eyes and said, "Okay."

Now it's hard to tell who is coaxing whom.

Shang Yanci's heart was filled with tenderness that was about to overflow, and he really wanted to ask her if she could temporarily put aside her work at the Pei Group and go to France with him for a few days.

The words came to his lips several times, but he forced himself to hold them back. He could not use his status as a husband to deprive her of her freedom to work.

Turning off the light and lying down, Shang Yanci patted Pei Yuning's shoulder with one hand to lull her to sleep, and clasped her waist with the other hand to gently twist her. The fragrant and soft princess wanted to make her smaller and put it in his pocket, carrying it with him without any hesitation.

The next day, Shang Yanci stayed with her until nearly nine o'clock, and when he got up, he carefully let her go.

Although the movement was very slight, Pei Yuning woke up, but she did not open her eyes.

After Shang Yanci washed and dressed, he walked to the bed, bent down to kiss Pei Yuning's forehead, touched her cheek, then turned and left the bedroom.

The moment the door closed, Pei Yuning opened her eyes, hugged Shang Yanci's pillow into her arms, and smelled his scent.

While Shang Yanci was having breakfast in the restaurant, the elders of the Pei family filled the extended Lincoln with specialties from northern Beijing.

After breakfast, Shang Yanci prepared to leave. Except for Pei Yuning, all the members of the Pei family came to the gate of the main house to see him off.

Old Madam Pei held her grandmother's hand and said goodbye reluctantly.

Shang Yanci seemed to have some feelings. He looked up at the second floor, the balcony at the end of the corridor. The floor-to-ceiling windows were closed. There was no wind today, but the curtains were shaking slightly.

Shang Yanci looked at his grandfather and said, "I forgot to take my headphones. I'll go upstairs."

Grandpa: “Okay.”

Pei Yunzhi understood and reminded her in a low voice: "Ningning doesn't like separation scenes. It will be difficult to appease her if you go up to her."

Shang Yanci: "It's okay, it's a private flight, so it doesn't matter if we postpone it for a while."

Pei Yunzhi said no more.

Shang Yanci went to the kitchen and then went upstairs.

At the end of the corridor, Pei Yuning walked towards the bedroom with her eyes downcast, her slender fingers plucking the hem of her skirt into layers of folds. When she heard footsteps, she raised her head and was hugged into Shang Yanci's arms.

He sighed softly, caressed her thick black curly hair affectionately, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Baby, I can't bear to leave."

Pei Yuning raised her hands and slowly placed them on his waist and abdomen, holding back tears, her voice was filled with sobs: "You are so annoying, why did you come up here?"

Shang Yanci lowered his head and kissed the corners of her red eyes: "I came up to coax you, and I'll leave after I've coaxed you. I got a piece of strawberry cake, do you want to eat it?"

Pei Yuning nodded: "Yes."

Shang Yanci walked into the bedroom holding a strawberry cake in one hand and Pei Yuning in the other.

I put the strawberry cake on the table next to the sofa, and then accompanied her into the bathroom to wash up.

Pei Yuning was brushing her teeth. Shang Yanci's fingertips gently touched the corners of her eyes. His low, mellow voice was tender and charming: "It's red, like a little rabbit. What a poor baby."

Pei Yuning's face flushed. She pushed his fingers away, but then held them reluctantly.

After washing up, Pei Yuning sat in Shang Yanci's arms, and he fed her strawberry cake spoonful by spoonful.

The sweet strawberry cake made me feel a little better.

Shang Yanci coaxed her softly, "I will be back soon. I won't keep the baby waiting for too long. Eat your meal at home. We will video chat every night and I will coax the baby to sleep."

Pei Yuning rubbed his nose affectionately and fed him the sweetness of the strawberry cake in her mouth.

The two kissed each other for a while, and Pei Yuning gently pushed him: "It's done, Ah Yan, you should get off the bus, don't keep grandpa and grandma waiting for too long."

Shang Yanci asked gently, "Did you really coax her?"

Pei Yuning nodded obediently: "Really."

Shang Yanci kissed her, reluctant to leave: "Baby, I will be back soon."

Pei Yuning said "hmm".

Shang Yanci carried her back to bed, put her down properly, then left the bedroom and drove to the airport.

Eight hours later, the plane arrived in France.

Shang Yanci sent a text message to Jiang Xuanzhi: [Let’s meet if it’s convenient.]
