"You..." She looked at him shyly, her hands curled up on his chest, "Aren't you still awake?"
“The person is not fully awake, but the parts that should be awake have already been awake.” Ye Yan’s voice was low and sexy as hell.
After the whole night, Shu Nian's body had been completely conquered by him, and she could not resist at all. Instead, she became more sensitive. When he leaned over to kiss her, she instinctively clung to his neck, hummed softly, and actively pressed against his body, giving herself to him completely.
once…
She was so resistant and afraid, not knowing what kind of horrible abyss she would be brought into if the sexual affairs between men and women happened again, so she shrank herself into a conservative shell, unwilling and afraid to take a step forward.
At this moment, she finally understood that it was not that she did not have the courage, but that she had not yet met the person who could give her the courage.
And now…
Ye Yan appeared.
He held her hand, protected her, and led her out of the fog and fear...
It also made her understand that there is happiness and comfort in love.

Fortunately, Shu Nian didn't need to go to work in the morning, so she was able to curl up in bed and rest until after 11 o'clock, even though she had a sore back caused by Ye Yan.
Ye Yan half leaned against the bed, holding her against his chest. He gently brushed aside her messy hair with his long fingers, and glanced at her left face. The redness and swelling had finally completely disappeared. He stroked it with his thumb, frowning, "Does it still hurt?"
Shu Nian shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
She remembered something and held his hand. "I was drunk last night. Was I out of control?"
Ye Yan recalled the scene of her crying on his back last night, and pretended to have a headache, holding his forehead, "I should receive a lot of complaints from residents today. You cried so miserably, everyone will think I abused you."
Shu Nian was embarrassed. Did she really cry so hard
She was actually in a state of blackout after all that happened. She was slightly more sober after she came back. However, judging from her eyes that were swollen like walnuts, she must have cried a lot last night.
"Shu Nian." Ye Yan called her softly, holding her shoulders and gently stroking them. His expression was serious, as if he had something to say to her. Shu Nian tilted her head and looked at him, "Why are you so serious all of a sudden?"
"Let me give you a home."
Shu Nian was stunned.
The lake of my heart seemed to be stirred by something, and ripples appeared in circles.
In fact, she had long forgotten what home was. After her mother left, that home was already missing a piece; later, she married Xiang Muyang, and the home she had with Xiang Muyang was not a home at all; and later...
When she returned to her father and Aunt Gui, she would eventually have to move out.
At that time, she was like a small boat drifting alone in the sea. She was always looking forward to having a stable harbor in the future to take her in, to give her support, and to allow her heart to no longer wander around.
But…
"Ye Yan, let's start step by step and let things develop naturally, okay? Besides..." Shu Nian looked at him seriously, "We still have two families behind us."
Ye Yan had long guessed that it would not be so easy for Shu Nian to marry him right after divorcing that man. He wanted Shu Nian to move in with him, but with her personality, she would not agree. In the end, he had to compromise, "I will listen to you on this matter. So... after I finish my work with Xiang Muyang, I will take you to meet my parents."
“…”Isn’t he a little too anxious
——
In the afternoon, Shu Nian went to the hospital to apply for leave. Because the exam was coming up and there was only one week left, Shu Nian asked to take a week off to prepare for the final sprint. The hospital nodded happily and encouraged her to take the exam. Shu Nian knew that the hospital was so positive because she had benefited from Ye Yan.
After asking for leave, Shu Nian pondered for a moment and walked towards the ward where Ning Meng was staying.
She stood outside the door for a long time before knocking. The nurse in the ward came to open the door, and Shu Nian nodded to the nurse as a greeting, then went in.
He asked his wife, "Who is it?"
"it's me."
Shu Nian said this and walked inside.
Her appearance stunned everyone inside.
Seeing Ming Wanjun sitting beside the bed, Shu Nian was also stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the chicken soup on the bedside, and his heart was sour. However, he did not show much emotion on his face.
Madam Xiang and Ning Meng suffered a great loss yesterday, so they naturally did not welcome Shu Nian at this moment. The slap mark on Shu Nian's cheek had disappeared, but Madam Xiang's face was still swollen. She let her hair down to cover it up, but she still looked a little embarrassed.
Ming Wanjun stood up when she saw her, her lips trembling as she tried to call her. However, Shu Nian did not look at her, but instead looked directly at Xiang Muyang, "Now, can we go get the divorce certificate?"
Ming Wanjun looked at them in astonishment. What... divorce certificate? What does this mean
"Shu Nian, you...what did you just say?"
Shu Nian pinched her fingers into her palms, mustered up her courage, and turned around to face Ming Wanjun. She smiled with all her might, "Your stepdaughter, whom you are trying to please now, is pregnant with my husband Xiang Muyang's child. But it doesn't matter. In a while, he will just be my ex-husband."
Ming Wanjun was shocked and took a step back.
Shu Nian still had a smile on his face, but how much trauma had he suffered behind that smile
As a mother, she had no idea...
How could she not hate and resent the mistress in her marriage, even though she never cared about her or understood her, and yet she still tried her best to please her
"Let's go." Shu Nian didn't look at Ming Wanjun again, but looked at Xiang Muyang, "I've brought everything."
Xiang Muyang didn't say much. After looking at Shu Nian seriously, he finally followed her out of the ward.
Ning Meng sat up from the bed, "Mu Yang, I'll go with you."
"No need." Xiang Muyang glanced at her and said, "You are not feeling well, so you should lie down first."
Madam Xiang was also worried about the baby in her belly. "Yes, Mu Yang is right. Meng Meng, don't worry. As long as your baby is stable and you can get out of bed, I will let you get married immediately."
Ning Meng bit her lip and looked at the two figures walking away with worry. She knew they were going to get a divorce, but she felt uneasy when she thought about them being alone together for a while.

Xiang Muyang drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Shu Nian sat in the passenger seat.
Several times, Xiang Muyang looked towards Shu Nian. His eyes were complex and deep, containing pain, hurt, and regret.
Halfway through the drive, he finally couldn't help but interrupt the silence that had lingered between the two of them for so long.
"Are you really that impatient?" Shu Nian didn't understand the nonsense.
