In the bathroom, steam filled the air as Lu Jian Shen bathed.

Nánxī covered herself with the blanket and got out of bed. Thinking about what happened last night, her face flushed pink.

Although we are already married, I still feel very shy every time after a sweet moment.

The sound of water stopped, and Lu Jian walked out wrapped in a bath towel.

"Breakfast is ready, I'll wait for you downstairs."

"Hmm!"

Downstairs, Nanxi carefully took the cake out of the refrigerator and placed it in the center of the dining table.

Holding a pregnancy test in her hand, her heart beat rapidly with excitement.

Today is their second wedding anniversary, and Nanxi was both excited and nervous about telling him she was pregnant.

Lu Jian Shen had already changed into his attire. A custom-made black suit, it accentuated his elegance and charm, making him appear handsome and alluring.

After finishing breakfast, Nanxi grabbed the inspection report in her hand, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth: "Jian Shen, I have something to tell you."

"Just so, I also have something to tell you."

Then you speak first.

Lu Jian Shen stood up, took a file from the drawer, and slowly extended his slender fingers to hand it to Nan Xi.

"This is a divorce agreement, please take some time to look it over."

Nánxī was caught off guard and desperately struggled to keep herself from falling.

I drew in a sharp breath, the air feeling like knives slashing through me.

He said the divorce agreement?

"My mind was blank for a moment. It took Nanxi a while to find her voice, and she asked him in a dazed manner."

"Do you want to divorce me?"

"Hmm."

His voice was very soft and low.

Nánxī is filling out a pregnancy test sheet. She's about to ask him, isn't there any room for maneuver?

What if we had a baby?

Could you consider this some more?

The next moment, his voice came: "Qinglian is back. I want to end our marriage early. We originally agreed to a three-year limit, but circumstances have changed, so let's end it a year early."

"I know this is a bit rushed, it's just a draft agreement. Take a look first, and let me know if you have any requests. I'll try to accommodate them as long as they're reasonable."

Nánxī's brain went blank in response, "Okay, I'll take a look."

With her hand tucked behind her back, the prenatal test slip in her hand was becoming damp with a layer upon layer of perspiration.

I see. There's no need to bring it out anymore.

I have one more favor to ask you.

Lu Jian Shen said.

Nán Xī pinched her hands together and with effort lifted her head to look at him, smiling. "Okay, you say, just let me know if there's anything I can do to help."

"About the divorce, if you bring it up and I bring it up, he won't agree."

Okay, I understand.

He was an ordinary child from an ordinary family, with a mother who worked as a nurse and a father who was a gambler.

Such a family is, under no circumstances, a match for the Lu family.

All the opportunities stemmed from the fact that Lu Jianshen's grandfather and father were framed by business rivals in a car accident, which triggered their heart conditions.

The mother happened to be passing by and kindly saved the two elderly people.

Many years later, Mom was diagnosed with cancer and passed away. Dad became a gambler again, and Mom wasn't at ease with this, which is why she contacted the Lu family after so many years, asking them to help take care of her orphaned child.

While Grandpa Lu made the decision directly and betrothed her to Lu Jian Shen right after she graduated.

At that time, Lu Jianshen said: “I can marry you, but I have someone else in my heart. Our marriage will last for three years. After three years, you propose a divorce to grandpa, and we go our separate ways.”

Withholding intention, concealing all intent.

He replied with a light and breezy tone, "I know. I have someone in my heart too. When the betrothal day arrives, I will keep my promise and leave."

After marriage, he fulfilled all the responsibilities of a husband; he was truly doting and caring.

All of the friends around know that Lu Jian Shen is dear to his heart, a treasure he holds close. If you anger him, he can turn from heaven to hell in a minute. Everyone envies marrying such a good man, such a good husband.

But only Nanxi knew that their marriage wasn't based on love, it was just a contract.

This man gives everything he has to no one, only fulfilling a duty. If there is anything truly his, it's the infatuated love he possesses.

The original agreement was for three years, but now that the person he cherished is back, it's time to step aside.

At the bend of Nanxi Creek, she picked up the "Divorce Agreement" from the table.

I've lost my appetite and was about to head back to the room when Lu Jian Shen suddenly tugged at his collar with some annoyance, "Stay."

When you bring up divorce, grandpa will definitely ask why. You said at the wedding that there was someone you'd liked for many years. Now that I'm letting you go free, you can go find him and pursue your own happiness. Even if grandpa disagrees, he won't be able to refuse this answer.

Nánxī nodded. "Mm, I'll tell Grandpa that."

Having said that, I couldn't wait to go back. If I stayed any longer, I was afraid I would regret it and tell him: Lu Jian Shen, I don't want a divorce.

Lu Jian Shen suddenly reached out his hand, and Nan Xi feared that the thing in her hand would be discovered. She suddenly retreated.

Lu Jian Shen grew increasingly worried, his hand tightening in hers. "Why are you looking so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Nan Xi hurriedly broke free from his grasp.

"Two years of marriage, you think I can't see that you're lying?" Lu Jian Shen's eyes were deep.

"Nán Xī finally admitted defeat: "It's nothing serious, just my period came."

"I'll take a good rest in a while."

Having said that, Lu Jian Shen suddenly glanced at his right hand, and asked in a low voice, "What's in your hand? You're clutching it so tightly."

Nán Xī immediately threw the item away like it was a hot potato and gave a strained smile: "Nothing, it's just trash. I had it in my hand and forgot to throw it away."

He won't know, how much my heart hurts.

It was as if someone had taken an axe and cleaved a beating heart in two, the crimson blood flowing freely, blurring the edges.

Each petal still drips, holding that broken heart, pain unbearable.

"See Shen, Lu Jian Shen…" Nan Xi murmured in her heart, "How could a good husband and wife just break up like this?"

When I first married him, I did it almost with the courage of a last resort.

But now the departure, is too hasty and bleak.

"Nang Xi, silly girl, you've lost your bet in the end. He doesn't want you, not even a little bit."

Jianzi was a little weak, her steps unsteady. Lu Jian Shen didn't even think, he just scooped her up in his arms.

Nan Xi was stunned and hurriedly said, “Let me go, I’ll go back by myself.”

"It's already this bad, don't force it."

Li Jian saw the deep and mesmerizing beauty, a low voice echoing in his ear.

It was this sound that kept him captivated for two years straight. He had been enthralled by it, but now it was about to suddenly disappear.

Nán Xī blinked, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.

Lu Jian smiled and said, "You're not a little girl anymore. You shouldn't cry because of your period. Stop crying, I'll go find a doctor to take a look at you."

"I didn't cry," Nanxi said stubbornly.

He's such an idiot, a pig.

He didn't know what he was crying about.

"Alright, alright. If you don't want to cry, don't cry!" Lu Jian Shen conceded.

"Can you tell me who he is?" he suddenly asked out of the blue.

"He?" Nan Xi asked, baffled.

"Didn't you say there was a man you had known for many years? I'm curious, who is so lucky that you've been thinking about him for so long?" Lu Jian Shen said.
