Chapter 1 Signing the Divorce
On the fifth wedding anniversary, Qin Xiaoze handed over a divorce agreement.
"Fake divorce, just to make Rufei happy."
Lin Rufei was his first love. She divorced and returned to China two days ago and attempted suicide.
Nan Xi lowered her head, her eyes tinged with water color. After trying her best to suppress it, she picked up the pen on the table and signed her name.
Pushing the agreement in front of him, she smiled bitterly, "Are you going home tonight?"
Qin Xiaoze's face was full of impatience, "Don't wait for me, work overtime."
Without finishing his words, he left without looking back.
The bedroom door slammed shut, like a heavy hammer hitting Nan Xi's heart.
A dull pain.
After five years of marriage, he swore to love only her in his life when he proposed to her, but now it has ended because his first love is getting divorced.
It turns out that when a man says he loves you, it doesn't mean he has another woman in his heart.
Nan Xi was absent-minded the whole night, with the past of their love echoing in her mind. The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt.
However, what made her even more sad was the message from an unknown number on her phone.
"Do you know why he married you? Take a good look at your face. He married you just to use you as a substitute. Now that I'm back, it's time for you, a fake, to get out."
A photo was attached below the message.
In the photo, Qin Xiaoze knelt on one knee and proposed to Lin Rufei.
The sparkling diamond ring made Nan Xi feel very uncomfortable.
What made her even more sad was that Lin Rufei's face was 80% similar to Nan Xi's.
In front of the mirror, Nan Xi touched her cheek and looked at Lin Rufei, who was smiling like a flower on the phone. What else didn't she understand?
What he said about fake divorce was clearly a lie to her.
It turns out that the person he loved has always been Lin Rufei.
The room gradually became dark. Nan Xi sat on the ground, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away. She didn't even have the strength to turn on the light. She had originally planned to tidy up the room and help Qin Xiaoze iron his suit. He was a person who had extremely high requirements for the neatness of his clothes, and he was not satisfied with the nanny's work, so she had always been doing these things. But now, she didn't want to do it anymore.
She touched her rough hands, tears streaming down her face.
She had lived a life of luxury since she was a child and had never done these things. Just because he said that he liked the feeling of being taken care of by her, she learned how to cook and iron clothes, and even washed his socks by hand.
Over the years, he enjoyed her efforts and praised her virtue.
She also thought that her efforts would be rewarded with equal love from him, but she didn't expect that her virtuous behavior day after day would be so cheap in his eyes.
Looking at the wedding anniversary gift that had been prepared long ago, she smiled helplessly and threw it into the trash can.
It doesn't make sense.
Late at night, there were clanging sounds coming from downstairs. It was Qin Xiaoze who came back.
Nan Xi wiped away her tears, composed herself, and prepared to tell him that she was planning to move out. However, she had just gone downstairs and had not yet opened her mouth when Qin Xiaoze, reeking of alcohol, came over and put his arm around her waist. As if he had lost his memory, he touched her face as usual, "Wife, I'm drunk, pour me some water."
Nan Xi pushed him away and said, "I was drunk and saw it wrongly. I am not your wife."
Qin Xiaoze narrowed his eyes and then laughed, "How could I admit my mistake to my own wife? If you are not my wife, then who are you?"
Nan Xi corrected, "Ex-wife."
Qin Xiaoze frowned, "What nonsense."
Nan Xi reminded him, "The divorce agreement has been signed, Qin Xiaoze, we are no longer husband and wife."
Qin Xiaoze's face showed some anger. "I said, it's just a fake divorce. When Rufei is happy, we can remarry later."
Nan Xi sneered.
Remarry?
When he is abandoned by Lin Rufei, will he continue to be her substitute?
She's not that mean yet.
"Why did you save me back then?" Nan Xi approached Qin Xiaoze, staring into his slightly drunken eyes. Without waiting for his answer, she asked, expressing the sadness pent up in her heart, "Because I look a lot like your first love, right? What do you think of me as, a substitute or a comfort?"
Nan Xi will never forget that when she quietly left home and had a car accident on the road, it was Qin Xiaoze who disregarded the danger and rescued her from the deformed car front.
She was deeply moved and planned to express her gratitude with money, but he proposed to her in the ward and said that he was willing to love her for the rest of his life and only her.
She thought she had met the love of her life and was so moved that she married him.
Now it seems that from the very beginning, his love was not for her, but for this face that looked like Lin Rufei.
Qin Xiaoze's face suddenly darkened, and his whole body was filled with coldness. "How did you know?"
After realizing what was happening, his eyes became sharp and he grabbed Nan Xi's arm. "Have you looked for her? Who allowed you to look for her?"
Nan Xi's arm was gripped so tightly that it hurt. She didn't say anything, just looked at him silently. Seeing the coldness in his eyes like a glacier, she felt cold all over, and a chill ran up her back from the soles of her feet.
"Qin Xiaoze, have you ever loved me in these five years?"
With just one sentence, Nan Xi seemed to have exhausted all her strength, tears in her eyes, waiting for his answer.
Qin Xiaoze's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he let go of her hand. "You should be glad that you look like her."
In one word, it was like a slap in the face of Nan Xi.
The pain made her head dizzy.
At this moment, her heart was completely sealed. Nan Xi wiped her tears, looked up and told him, "Since that's the case, the cooling-off period is over, let's go get the divorce certificate. Then, you can get married anytime."
"What the hell are you fussing about!" Qin Xiaoze rubbed his brows, looking exhausted. "It's normal for a grown-up lady like Rufei to have a bit of a temper. What's there to fuss about? Do you think you're just like her, waiting for me to coax you? What qualifications do you have to compare with her? Do you know that this is very tiring for me?"
After Qin Xiaoze finished speaking, he went upstairs angrily.
Nan Xi stood there in a daze, her smile strained.
It turned out that this was the reason why he coaxed Lin Rufei. Just because she was the eldest daughter of the Lin family and his first love, she could not bear any grievances, so he would coax her patiently. But in his eyes, she was just a woman who could only be by his side because of her face similar to Lin Rufei. She had to go along with him in everything and didn't need him to worry about her at all.
At this moment, Nan Xi's brain seemed to have been hit by a club, and she became extremely clear-headed.
This time, she did not go back to her room to take care of him. She ignored his drunken cries and slept in the guest bedroom all night. At dawn the next day, she went out to the company.
"Assistant Nan, quickly clean up the large office next door. I just received a notice that the company's vice president will take office today."
As soon as I turned on the computer, the president's special assistant Luo Rongfei came over and said to Nan Xi.
Nan Xi was a little tired after not getting enough rest last night. "Let's arrange for the cleaning staff to do this."
"Boss Qin specifically asked you to do this, saying that you clean the best. Our vice president is picky, and only you can do it well."
Nan Xi smiled bitterly. Qin Xiaoze really treated her as a nanny. From home to company, he used her in any way that was convenient for him, right?
"Tell him I won't do it."
