Sober and beautiful, my husband and son begged for my forgiveness on their knees.

The next day, Ning Yao went to the law firm she had arranged to meet with the lawyer.

She spent half a day drafting the divorce agreement. She relinquished custody of her children, and for just 30 million, she could leave cleanly.

Thirty million was just a drop in the ocean for Lu Jingmo, and Ning Yao wasn't asking for an exorbitant amount. After seven years of marriage, she deserved this amount.

Ning Yao returned home with the divorce papers. There were already people inside; the door wasn't closed tightly, and she could faintly hear laughter coming from inside.

"Auntie, Auntie, how did you do that? I want to learn too!"

Lu Mingjin lay on Ning Yan, her eyes shining, her face full of undisguised joy, "Auntie, you're so amazing, you can even do magic tricks! Unlike my mom, she can't do anything!"

Lu Jingmo's indifferent voice rang out: "Ning Yao is your mother, you can't talk to her like that, don't you have any manners at all?"

Ning Yao paused as she was about to push the door open. Lu Mingjin had said similar things many times before. When she first heard it, she was heartbroken and aggrieved. She had put so much effort into taking care of him, but in the end, it was not as good as Ning Yan taking him out for a while.

She couldn't understand it, so she found an opportunity to talk to Lu Jingmo about it. When Lu Jingmo found out, he just frowned and said that Jin was just a child, so why was she taking it so seriously?

Now… Ning Yao scoffed and pushed open the door to enter.

Ning Yan patted Lu Jingmo and said reproachfully, "Mingjin is so young, he speaks without thinking. Do you have to be so serious? You're scaring the child."

Her appearance and demeanor made it seem as if she were the lady of the house.

Lu Jingmo and Lu Jingmo are a perfect match, one a strict father and the other a loving mother.

As soon as Ning Yan finished speaking, she saw Ning Yao come in. Her expression changed imperceptibly, and then she stood up: "It's good that Yao Yao is back. I baked some cookies for Ming Jin. Ming Jin and Jing Mo both said they tasted good. You should try some too."

Lu Mingjin protested, "No way! My aunt baked it for me, I don't want to give it to Mom!"

"Mingjin," Lu Jingmo snapped.

His tone was slightly harsh, and Lu Mingjin immediately became aggrieved, crying out, "She's mine! I love my aunt, and I love the things my aunt gives me! I don't want this mother, I want my aunt to be my mother!"

Ning Yao didn't expect her to reply directly: "Okay."

Her tone was so calm that Lu Mingjin didn't even have time to react.

He stopped crying and stared at Ning Yao in disbelief.

Lu Jingmo frowned. "Mingjin misspoke. He's young and doesn't know any better. Why are you still fooling around with him?"

Ning Yao didn't want to waste words with him. She took out the divorce agreement from her bag and said, "I've already signed my name. Take a look. If there are no problems, sign it. If you have any objections, we can discuss it further."

Lu Mingjin looked down at the document handed to her and fell silent for several seconds without saying a word.

Seeing that he didn't take it, Ning Yao put it on the coffee table. Lu Mingjin couldn't wait to pick it up and look at it, asking as he looked, "You...you really want to divorce my father?"

Ning Yan, who was standing to the side, stood up in a flustered manner. "I'm sorry, is it because of me? There's nothing between Jingmo and me. Last night, Mingjin kept bothering me, so I had no choice but to let them sleep in the night. Please don't misunderstand."

Ning Yao smiled, but her gaze was cold. "So you know that doing this will cause misunderstandings."

Ning Yan choked up.

Ning Yao continued, "You're always going to other people's houses. People who don't know you might think you can't have children, which is why you're so nice to other people's kids."

"Yaoyao, I really didn't mean that..."

Ning Yan wanted to argue, but Lu Jingmo stopped her, saying, "Go back first."

The four words, "unquestionable," made Ning Yan feel a pang of sadness. She bit her lip, knowing that if she didn't leave, Lu Jingmo would only become more impatient with her.

She gathered her long, loose hair and smiled gently, "Then I'll be going now. Jingmo, you should have a good talk with Yaoyao. You've been together for seven years, after all. Even if not for each other, you should at least think about the child."

She was implying to Lu Jingmo that Lu Mingjin still preferred her a little more than Ning Yao.

But Lu Jingmo seemed not to hear him, and only said to Lu Mingjin, "You go upstairs too, I want to talk to your mother."

Ning Yao, the person involved, did not want to talk to him.

“If it’s nothing to do with the divorce, then there’s no need to say anything,” she said calmly. “It’s completely unnecessary.”

Lu Jingmo stared at her intently, a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "Ning Yan is gone. You don't need to put on this act anymore. There's nothing between her and me."

Ning Yao paused for a second before realizing what he meant, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Even at this point, Lu Jingmo still thinks she's jealous?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Jingmo's tone softened a bit, "Yesterday, I went to the amusement park with Ning Yan because Ming Jin hadn't seen her for a long time and was making a fuss about wanting to play with her. And then you said those things... I was angry for a moment, so I didn't tell you."

He patiently explained to her, which was unusual for him, but it sounded really harsh.

Ning Yao gave an "oh" and ignored him, only urging, "Hurry up and sign, there's still time, the Civil Affairs Bureau is still open."
