"You must be dazzled. Brother Jinyan doesn't even have a girlfriend, how can he get married? Besides, he has always been like my grandparents, he doesn't believe in marriage."
"That's right." Tang Jifeng thought, he must have seen it wrong. What kind of woman would a man who doesn't believe in marriage have to meet before he would be willing to get married

When Shu Nian entered the ward, Shu's father was still asleep. Aunt Gui saw her coming back and hurriedly asked, "Breakfast is still hot, would you like to have some?"
Shu Nian shook his head, "I've already eaten."
"I didn't see you when I woke up." Aunt Gui glanced at her clothes, which she hadn't changed, and asked, "Aren't you in the hospital tonight?"
"…Last night my friend was feeling unwell, so I went over to help her." Shu Nian replied, looking somewhat guilty. Aunt Gui could actually see that, and compared to yesterday, she looked much better. However, Aunt Gui was tactful and did not point it out.
At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside. The two people subconsciously looked towards the door, only to see Xiang Muyang suddenly appear at the door. He was holding breakfast in his hand.
He glanced at the still hot porridge on the coffee table and smiled, "It seems that I am still late."
He held the exquisite pastries in front of Shu Nian and said in a flattering manner, "These are all your favorites. Aunt Gui said before that you like the pastries from the shop on Tianyun Road, so I went around and bought them for you."
Shu Nian looked at the pastries, then at the man in front of him. The only thing he could remember was the photo from last night.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Muyang seemed to notice something was wrong with her expression and asked inquiringly. Aunt Gui also noticed that she didn't look very enthusiastic, but rather very cold. So she spoke up to smooth things over, "It's not too late now that you're here."
"Niannian, why aren't you answering it yet? Mu Yang has been busy all night and even ran so far to buy breakfast for you. Even if you have already eaten, you should answer it first." Aunt Gui reminded Shu Nian in his ear.
Shu Nian then took the breakfast from Xiang Muyang and pursed his lips, "Thank you."
After a pause, he added, "Thank you for your hard work last night."
Xiang Muyang's heart skipped a beat, all his nerves were tense because of Shu Nian's words, and his eyes stared at her from time to time. He was not sure whether she already knew it, or if there was something else behind her words.
However, she remained calm for a long time, showing no abnormal behavior. She carefully put the breakfast aside and told Aunt Gui to feed her father when he woke up, showing no abnormal behavior at all.
Xiang Muyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he was already very upset about what happened last night.
"I'm going to work." Shu Nian glanced at Xiang Muyang with a calm expression, "You should go to work too."
Xiang Muyang wanted to say something to Shu Nian, but Shu Nian had already gone back to his work place without looking back.
———
Shu Nian changed into her uniform and was about to put her phone in her pocket when the screen lit up. She glanced at it casually. She had only seen this number once, but she vaguely remembered that it was the number that sent her photos last night.
Ning Meng
Shu Nian actually guessed that she would come to him sooner or later. However, he didn't expect that she could endure it for so long.
Walking to a quiet corner, she put the phone to her ear and said, "Hello."
"it's me."
"Who?" Shu Nian asked knowingly.
Ning Meng was choked by her question. The other party's indifferent, even cold tone made it seem as if she, the legitimate wife, had never known, no, she simply didn't care about the existence of Ning Meng. Ning Meng controlled her temper and said, "Shu Nian, did you receive all the photos from last night?"
"Yes. Got it."
I got it, how can you still be so calm
Ning Meng didn't know how to respond for a moment. In her opinion, Shu Nian would at least yell at her without any image on the phone, and then tell Mu Yang about it. Sooner or later, Mu Yang would find out that she was not so cute. However, what caught Ning Meng off guard was that Shu Nian was incredibly calm in the face of such a straightforward provocation.
"Ms. Ning, you're calling me so early in the morning, aren't you just asking me this question? If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Wait a minute!" The calmer Shu Nian was, the calmer Ning Meng became. "Shu Nian, Mu Yang and I were together last night. Did you know that?"
"You're telling me this, aren't you hoping that I'll give you a floating red flag to praise you for helping my husband relieve his sexual desire?" Shu Nian smiled faintly, "This floating red flag has flown on too many women's beds. I don't know who has it right now. If you want it, I'll find you another one later."
"Shu Nian, you—" Ning Meng was so angry that her breathing became heavy. She really couldn't win the argument with Shu Nian, so she smiled sarcastically, "No wonder Mu Yang never went to your bed! A woman like you who is sexually cold and speaks harshly will never have a man love you!"
"You don't have to worry about this. Miss Ning, just keep your bed. After all, if you can't even keep someone in your bed, I'm afraid you'll have lost your last trump card."
Over there, Ning Meng's face was pale and red. This was the first time she had confronted Shu Nian directly. In her mind, Shu Nian was cold and didn't like to talk, and she was stubborn. She would never tolerate her husband cheating on her. However, she didn't expect that although she was cold, she was so eloquent, and her performance was impeccable throughout the whole process, leaving her no room for counterattack.
Shu Nian hung up the phone before Ning Meng could say anything else. She smiled awkwardly, feeling disappointed.
What exactly should I do to successfully divorce Xiang Muyang
Although she promised Aunt Gui that she would think about it again, how could she really think about it again? She was not someone who would forget the pain after the wound healed.

Shu Nian was busy all morning.
At noon, I had lunch with my colleagues and secretly prepared a meal and put it in a thermos in the lounge. Shu's father was not in good condition and could not speak clearly, but it was clear from his hopeful eyes that he did not want Shu Nian to get divorced.
Shu Nian smiled bitterly.
If my father knew that Xiang Muyang was far from the filial husband and son-in-law he imagined, would he not be so stubborn
After Shu Dafu and Aunt Gui had taken their nap, Shu Nian walked towards the Yunting Waterside Pavilion carrying a thermos.
When they entered the community and passed the sentry box, the person on the afternoon shift was the same person who was on duty last night. The other person immediately recognized Shu Nian and greeted her enthusiastically. Shu Nian thought of the kiss that was watched by everyone yesterday and felt a little embarrassed. She just smiled faintly and walked in quickly with the thermos.
Walk through the garden, enter the building, and turn the corner to reach the elevator entrance.
However, before I entered, I heard a familiar voice asking, "Lanlan, does your brother really live here?"
This sound...
It’s Xu Ying.
