No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.

Jiang Hua turned over and touched the edge of the bed, only to find it empty and cold.

Jiang Hua suddenly realized something, and her sleepiness vanished instantly, making her fully awake.

For a fleeting moment, his expression seemed dazed…

The morning light shone through the gaps in the heavy curtains. Jiang Hua glanced at the time; it was already 7:30.

Jiang Hua had forgotten what time she went to bed last night.

She sat up in bed, touched her forehead, which was burning hot. She closed her eyes and lay on the bed for a while to recover, not forgetting what she needed to do today.

Jiang Hua went to the restroom, put on some light makeup, and casually picked up a limited-edition designer bag worth over 800,000 yuan from the walk-in closet. When she walked out of the room and downstairs, she saw Pei Zhan sitting at the dining table, talking to her father about company matters.

She never expected him to come.

Jiang Hua slowed down her steps as she went downstairs, her gaze fixed on him. Then she glanced at the person beside him; her father was chatting happily with him.

He never wanted to come before, so what was his reason this time?

Jiang Hua smoothed her long, wavy hair. The perfume she was wearing was a high-end limited edition from a luxury perfume brand under the Jiang Group. Whenever a new version came out, it would be delivered to Jiang Hua's room as soon as possible.

Jiang Weiguo: "The company has performed well in recent years. Don't neglect Huahua because you're thinking about the company."

Pei Zhan: "No."

Jiang Hua couldn't understand how he could say "I don't know".

The divorce was brought up last night, and today Pei Zhan is able to calmly and composedly put on an act.

No one is better at acting than Pei Zhan.

Maid: "Young Miss."

"Hmm." Jiang Hua responded and walked to Pei Zhan's side, put down her bag and sat down. She smiled and said, "Pei Zhan doesn't care about the company. I don't believe you can stay calm and fish at home."

The maid brought in sterilized bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Jiang Hua.

Pei Zhan served her a bowl of sweet soup. "Thank you, husband."

Jiang Hua leaned forward and gave Pei Zhan a tender kiss on the cheek.

A complex expression flashed in the man's deep eyes, but Jiang Hua didn't notice the moment when Pei Zhan's body stiffened and his fingertips tightened.

Jiang Weiguo was not surprised to see such a scene.

Seeing Jiang Hua's elaborate outfit, he said, "Where are you planning to go gallivanting off to today? The school has already called to ask when you plan to go back. If you keep going like this, they'll have to expel you."

Jiang Hua: "Next week then."

Jiang Weiguo: "I've made up my mind. I'll call the school to give them a reply."

Jiang Hua: "Mm."

Seeing how affectionate the young couple was, Jiang Weiguo decided not to be a third wheel and stood up, saying, "I'm going out to digest my food. I'll eat slowly."

As soon as Jiang Weiguo left, Jiang Hua didn't touch the soup in her bowl, and the smile on her face faded.

"No need to come pick me up. Don't worry about me going back on my word last night. Eat quickly, I'll wait for you in the car." Jiang Hua saw that he had lost his appetite and got up to leave.

Jiang Hua sat in the passenger seat waiting for him. She remembered that they had chosen this car together at the dealership; it was their first car after they got married.

Surprisingly, he was still driving.

Pei Zhan went out and sat in the driver's seat. He noticed that the fragrance and decorations that Jiang Hua had placed on the passenger seat had all been taken away by her.

"Aren't you going to take her to class today?" Jiang Hua looked at him, her tone indifferent and devoid of any emotion.

As Jiang Hua saw him approaching, she leaned back to resist his advances, saying, "I can fasten my own seatbelt."

Pei Zhan did not stop, but continued doing what he was used to doing.

Their shoulders touched tightly, and Jiang Hua could smell the perfume she had left in the flower garden on him.

Do it all.

Pei Zhan remained silent, waiting for him to drive. After driving for a while and reaching the city center, Jiang Hua realized that this was not the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but the way back to Huayuan.

Jiang Hua looked at him questioningly, "Pei Zhan! I think I've made myself clear to you! We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce today!"

"Whenever something happens, can you please stop pretending to be dead? You're really annoying me! Do I need to spell it out for you?"

"Song Qingran, you cheated on me, and kept her as a mistress for five years... Do you want me to spell out the rest? I'm not blind, and I can't pretend nothing happened and continue spending the rest of my life with you."

"Pei Zhan, I'm letting you speak!"

Suddenly, a sharp stop.

Jiang Hua leaned forward sharply, and the car stopped on the side of the road.

This made Jiang Hua feel a little uncomfortable.

Pei Zhan asked in a deep voice, "When did you find out?"

Jiang Hua: "From the moment you forgot our first wedding anniversary, I could tell long ago whether you loved me or not. I've done so much, but I still can't warm your heart. You're just having another woman outside."

"...What, do you want me to continue?"

Pei Zhan: "Think it through! We're divorced. I won't play along with your act anymore."

Acting? So all these years of marriage, their interactions were just an act?

Jiang Hua's heart clenched painfully. Suppressing the pain in her eyes, she said to him sarcastically, "Yes! After so many years of marriage, it must have been hard for you to keep up this charade with me."

Jiang Hua shifted her gaze from him to the direction not far outside the car window. "Divorcing me would be perfect for you and Song Qingran..." she said stubbornly, "I'm tired of being with you. Even if you don't divorce me, I'll still go back to Song Qingran and tell everyone, let all the media reporters see what kind of person Song Qingran is, seducing a married man and willing to be a mistress."

"Isn't she supposed to be a role model for students?"

"Pei Zhan... has thought it through!"

Jiang Hua could clearly sense the suppressed, icy anger emanating from Pei Zhan from those threatening words.

He's angry!

How much he cares about Song Qingran!

Jiang Hua wasn't unaware!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have left her father's funeral on the day he died just because of Song Qingran's words.

In his heart and eyes, nothing could compare to her!

As soon as he finished speaking, the car quickly changed direction.

This time... I did indeed go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Hua got out of the car first.

The staff member held the couple's wedding photo and household registration booklet, then looked them over and asked, "You two just got married, how come you're getting a divorce already?"

Without even thinking, Jiang Hua said, "I had an affair and got pregnant, but the child isn't his."

The staff member immediately shifted their gaze from the handsome and noble-looking man to Jiang Hua, their eyes filled with an indescribable strangeness. "I'm telling you, how can a young girl like you be so unchaste? The most basic thing between husband and wife is loyalty."

Pei Zhan remained unfazed: "My problem has nothing to do with her."

The staff member said, "You don't need to speak up for her." She tossed the marriage certificate back to them and said, "There's a new policy. Couples who want to get a divorce need a three-month cooling-off period. If they still decide to get a divorce after three months, come over."

"I'll help you make an appointment and register first."

Jiang Hua: "Why? Can't you process our application first?"

Staff member: "Madam, if you're going to cause trouble, I'll call security."
