"Are you angry?" Xiang Muyang asked.
"No." Shu Nian replied calmly, without any emotion at all, "I'm very busy now. Let's talk about it in the evening."
"Shu Nian, don't hang up!" Xiang Muyang called her, "I didn't say hello to you last night when I knew I shouldn't have left, but I really met a very important friend whom I hadn't seen for many years. Later... we were both drunk, so I didn't hear you calling me."
Shu Nian listened numbly to Xiang Muyang and his own pale explanations, even lies.
Yes, she would rather believe Ye Yan than her husband. In her eyes, Xiang Muyang's credibility had already become zero.
"You don't need to explain to me. I'm not too interested in your whereabouts. That's it!"
The veins on Xiang Muyang's forehead were throbbing. What he hated most was Shu Nian's cold attitude, "Shu Nian, I am your husband!"
"Husband?" Shu Nian smiled. The elevator just reached the first floor. She walked out of the elevator, stood against the wall, and said as calmly as possible: "Xiang Muyang, we have never been a normal couple, so don't deceive yourself. I have never fulfilled my obligations to you as a wife, so now I don't ask you to fulfill any of your obligations to me as a husband. Let's stop being unreasonable-"
Having said this, she paused, then looked up at the sky outside where it was no longer raining, and said, "Let's get a divorce."
When these five words were spoken, Xiang Muyang was shocked.
For a long while, his mind was blank, and for a moment, it was as if he was struck by lightning.
However, Shu Nian didn't say anything more, but hung up the phone directly.
For a long time, he stood there holding his phone without moving. Finally, they came to this point...
the other side.
In the office, Xiang Muyang slumped down on the sofa, holding his cell phone for a long time without coming back to his senses.
divorce…
They had been married for more than two years, and this was the first time she had said these two words. He knew Shu Nian's personality very well. She must have thought it over carefully before saying this.
No!
Absolutely not!
Not allowed!
Xiang Muyang clenched her hands on the sofa. Now that another man appeared, she wanted to divorce without hesitation? Don't even think about it!
———
Shu Nian hung up the phone, calmed down a little, and then walked into his father's ward.
Shudafu has woken up now. Originally, he had recovered well, but after the relapse last night, he is now unable to speak normally and can only babble with a crooked lip corner.
Shu Nian felt very uncomfortable watching this.
Aunt Gui was also feeling very upset. When she saw Shu Nian coming in, she was still confessing, "It's all my fault for not keeping a close eye on him."
"Aunt Gui, I've thought it through. I will move out of my house tonight."
Aunt Gui stared, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
He looked at her, then glanced at Shudafu lying on the bed. He lowered his voice and said, "Your father can hear it."
"It's hard for you to take care of my dad alone. The salary I usually pay you is not high." Shu Nian curled his lips, "I will come back to help you after work, and you will feel much more relaxed."
Aunt Gui looked at her, "Have you discussed this with Mu Yang?"
"I'll go back and discuss it with him tonight."
Aunt Gui looked at her worriedly, but Shu Nian obviously didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. She just walked to the bedside silently, "Dad, do you want some water?"
Shudafu was conscious. When he heard her voice, he shook his head gently.
"You have to learn your lesson this time. Be a good boy next time. Don't eat secretly when Aunt Gui isn't paying attention. Do you understand?" Shu Nian wiped the saliva from the corner of his lips and spoke softly, as if coaxing a child.
Shudafu just blinked as a response.
Shu Nian smiled with relief.
"Oh, Niannian." Aunt Gui suddenly remembered something and picked up a note and a key from the table. "This is from your friend."
Shu Nian took the note and saw an address written on it. Then she looked at the key and immediately understood.
"He was here? When?"
"He came in the morning, sat in the ward for a while, and asked some questions before leaving." Aunt Gui said, "That child must be from a well-off family. I think his temperament is very different from that of ordinary people. He is also very enthusiastic. When your father was examined at noon, if it weren't for his help, I wouldn't have been able to handle it alone."
Shu Nian held the key and did not respond to Aunt Gui's words. Ye Yan came here but did not hand the key to her in person. It seemed that she had angered him again when she left last night.

night.
After get off work, Shu Nian went to his father's ward first before dragging his tired body back home.
When she returned, Xiang Muyang had not returned yet. Shu Nian went back to her bedroom to pack her things, but Xiang Muyang did not return until she had finished packing.
She called Xiang Muyang, who just said, "Shu Nian, you want to talk to me about divorce, it's impossible! I'm on a business trip now, tell me if there's anything later. The premise is that it's not a divorce!"
"I'll ask a lawyer to write a divorce agreement, and when you come back from your business trip, you can just sign it."
On the other side, Xiang Muyang's breathing became heavier. Shu Nian didn't say another word and hung up the phone. It was only a few dozen seconds of silence before Xiang Muyang called back. Shu Nian didn't answer it, but just pressed the mute button and put it back in his bag.
She carried her luggage and walked out of the room. Before leaving, she turned back, took off the ring on her ring finger, and gently placed it on the bedside.
This house, where she had never felt warm or had any sense of belonging, was no longer her home.

In the next few days, Shudafu's condition gradually improved, and he was discharged from the hospital and returned to Mousse Apartment.
At noon, Shu Nian would go to Ye Yan's house to do some simple cleaning. As Ye Yan said, he rarely came to this house. She had not seen him once during this week.
The house is more than 200 square meters. Although it is very clean, Shu Nian has to clean every corner every day. As a result, it is not easy to clean up.
the other side.
In the office.
Ye Yan sat back on the sofa, looking at the busy figure on the screen, and couldn't help muttering: "What a stupid woman!"
No one lives in the house, so it's very clean even if it's cleaned once a week. The cleaning ladies in the past knew how to be lazy, so why is she so diligent and meticulous
"What are you mumbling about?" Tang Jifeng glanced at him, put down his work, and sat next to him. "I noticed that you have been staring at this screen all week. What are you looking at?"
Ye Yan was about to put away his phone, but Tang Jifeng was quick to snatch it away.
"Fuck! You're so perverted!" On the screen, there was only a young and beautiful figure from behind. Moreover, that figure was kneeling on the ground with both hands supporting the ground, and the posture was particularly... well, seductive.
