"Are you really that impatient?" Shu Nian didn't understand the nonsense.
She glanced at him and saw that his eyes were red. His hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel, and his joints were white. It was obvious that he was emotionally unstable.
"We haven't divorced yet, and you and Ye Yan..." Xiang Muyang paused, took a deep breath, and then gritted his teeth and said, "You went to bed, didn't you?!"
Shu Nian didn't say anything, but just looked at himself through the rearview mirror.
There was a kiss mark on her neck left by Ye Yan last night. He knew that she was going to come to Xiang Muyang today, so she was clearly asserting her sovereignty. Shu Nian knew what he was thinking, but did not stop him.
Now, she had nothing to hide.
She is free, and she can stand with integrity no matter who she holds hands with.
"Shu Nian, I'm asking you a question. Did you two go to bed?!" Xiang Muyang felt a little uneasy about her silence, and he couldn't help but speak with more force.
"Don't ask me questions in such an interrogative tone." Compared to Xiang Muyang's excitement, Shu Nian's tone was always indifferent without much ups and downs. "You are no longer qualified to ask about our affairs."
us…
She and Ye Yan have now become 'us'...
And she and herself... they, from now on, will probably be strangers forever...
Xiang Muyang felt a pain in his heart, "In fact, you have already fallen in love with Ye Yan, right?"
The words that came out were a little unstable.
Shu Nian cast his gaze out the window, pondered for a moment, then turned back and said, "Maybe."
She had rejected, been timid, and avoided Ye Yan, but in the end... she bravely took the first step. She thought that Ye Yan was a person who was worth all her courage.
"You...will get married?"
“…” Shu Nian was silent.
Xiang Muyang still had some hope, "Shu Nian, have you ever thought that Ye Yan's family might not even be..."
"Live your life well with Ning Meng." Shu Nian interrupted Xiang Muyang. His voice was no longer as cold as before, but calm, even with a hint of advice, "My affairs will have nothing to do with you from now on."
There are no emotional ups and downs, very rational.
It was this kind of rationality that made Xiang Muyang's heart completely cold.
He also knew that it was time for their relationship to come to an end...
———
The procedure for getting a marriage certificate is very simple; the procedure for divorce is not complicated either. After signing, the red divorce certificate is in each party's hands.
The two of them looked at the red book, each with their own thoughts. Shu Nianchang breathed a sigh of relief, finally everything was settled. However, Xiang Muyang felt as if a piece of his chest had been cut out with a knife, and it was empty in an instant.
When Shu Nian walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he saw a familiar sports car parked outside. Ye Yan was leaning against the car in a white shirt, with the clear sunlight pouring down from above, shrouding his tall figure, looking refreshing and charming. After the whole night last night and the entanglement this morning, Shu Nian couldn't help but feel a little hot when he saw Ye Yan again.
and…
She didn't know if the saying 'beauty is in the eyes of the beholder' was truly proven, but she just stared at him from afar and felt that Ye Yan had become even more alluring at this moment.
Xiang Muyang was standing next to Shu Nian and could clearly feel that as soon as this man appeared, he instantly took away all her attention.
In her world, only Ye Yan exists forever...
From now on, there probably won't be even any room left for him or any other man.
He watched Shu Nian walk towards Ye Yan step by step, watched her get into his car, and watched them leave freely without looking back...

At night, Ye Yan returned home. Just as he entered the house, Ye Xiao and Bai Suye came back right after him, both of them had just returned from the old house.
"How come you knew to go home today?" Night Owl took off his coat and glanced at his son in the room.
Ye Yan stood up, walked to the door, and talked to the two elders, "Why are you back so late today?"
"Talk to your grandparents." Bai Suye took Ye Xiao's coat and handed it to the servant beside him. "Jinyan suddenly wants to get married, but he is unwilling to bring her back for everyone to see, so the whole family is angry."
Ye Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Brother Jinyan is really getting married?"
"You know?" Ye Xiao glanced at his son and walked into the house.
"Did Jinyan mention it to you? Do you know who the other party is?" Bai Suye also asked.
"I haven't mentioned it. But some time ago, Ji Feng said he saw him buying a wedding ring. He has always claimed that he would not get married. Now that he has finally come to terms with it, grandma should be smiling secretly. Why bother about it so much?"
"Do you really think that the elders are as careless as you? Marriage is not a joke, how can you be so careless? Besides, you don't know the girl's background, personality, or appearance. What if she has some purpose? What should you do?"
Ye Yan hugged his mother, "Brother Jinyan is old enough, he knows his limits. But, Mom, Brother Jinyan is married now, so is it my turn next?"
Night Owl paused as he walked inside, turned around, and glanced at his son with his deep eyes.
Then, he turned his eyes to his wife. The couple looked at each other knowingly. Bai Suye asked seriously, "Are you serious, or are you just playing around?"
"Marriage is not a trivial matter. If you can't take responsibility, don't make promises to each other casually." Ye Xiao's words were resounding, serious and earnest. In his opinion, marriage is not something that young people like them can do as they please. Once you hold hands, it's a lifelong thing.
Ye Yan's eyes also revealed the same solemnity and determination as his father, "I couldn't be more serious about this matter."
"What does the other party think?" Ye Xiao paused, "She is already married."
"She is free now, and I want to bring her back to meet you."
"Getting married is a good thing, but you have to think carefully about what you really think of that girl." Bai Suye glanced at her son. "Before, you let her down. Now that you choose to marry her, do you feel guilty about it, or do you really appreciate and love her? If you decide to be with her just because you feel guilty, it will only hurt her a second time."
"I'm not so confused that I can't even distinguish between love and guilt. I married her because I wanted to give her a home, a real home."
Ye Yan always thought of what Shu Nian said to him last night after she got drunk and cried - she had no home anymore.
So lonely, so desolate...
And the only thing he wanted to do now was to take away all her loneliness and create a bright and sunny day for her.
