He Jidi, standing on the side, dared not even breathe. He watched as Pei Yu's overwhelming aura seemed to border on anger, influenced by the few pages of the divorce agreement. Pei Yu didn't even finish reading it because he had already seen the three characters "Wen Nan Shu" signed at the last page.
Who gave him the audacity to sign the divorce agreement?! How dare he?!
Wen NanShu was in the pet store, quickly taking medicine behind the counter during a lull in customer traffic. In the past two months, he had lost over twenty kilograms due to illness. Just recently, his liver tumor was removed, but the wound was healing poorly with torn edges, requiring a large quantity of medication to stabilize his heavily damaged body.
After swallowing the last few anti-inflammatory pills, the buzzing sound of the phone in the pocket grew more urgent than usual.
Wen Nan shu looked at the flickering words "Pei Yu" on the screen, feeling a sourness in his heart. But he knew that he had to face what was inevitable, so he put away the medicine and began to speak.
"Wen Nan, is this the divorce agreement you sent me? Do you think you can use this to threaten me?"
Pei Yu's voice was sharp and accusing as soon as he spoke. Wen Nan could almost imagine how furious Pei Yu must have been when he received the divorce agreement. Whether in the business world or in matters of the heart, Pei Yu always liked to be in control. He was such a proud and arrogant person, how could he willingly accept being informed by someone else?
Finally, it was going to come to an end...
"I didn't intend to threaten you," Wen Nanshu's teeth left faint white marks on her lip as she spoke. "I've already signed the papers, Pei Yu. Once you've signed them too, let's get a divorce. You're free to marry whomever you wish."
Pei Yu's calmness returned upon hearing the words "whoever can be married", he said, "If you're still angry about what happened over the phone that night, then it wasn't me who answered the call."
Wen Nan shook his head bitterly and said, "Does it really matter who answered that phone call? Those words were spoken by you, and no one could have forced you, right? I'm just tired of being a..."
Wen Nan couldn't bring himself to say those despicable words that he knew deep down.
"I," Pei Yu impatiently pushed away the documents on the desk, "that day I got drunk, but do you think it's possible for me to give my wife to someone else? Just because of this, you're suggesting a divorce? You're making a big deal out of nothing."
In Pei Yu's eyes, sending him to someone else's bed was nothing more than making a big fuss over a trivial matter.
Wen Nan took a deep breath and opened his warm and moist eyes wide, suppressing the bitter pain surging in his heart that filled his entire eye socket.
Twelve years have passed, and even though every word uttered by Pei Yu is as sharp as a knife, he can't help but feel his heart tremble at the sound of the person's voice on the other end of the phone. Despite Pei Yu's words, which disappoint him time and time again, there is a soft and vulnerable part of his heart that quivers.
"I just want a divorce," she said.
Wen Nan Shu didn't want to say anything else: "Once you sign the documents, we'll proceed with the procedures. I am ready to cooperate at any time."
In the office, Pei Yu hung up the phone, his face darkened as he gritted his teeth and said, "He's got some nerve mentioning divorce to me!"
He Ji had followed Pei Yu for five years, and it was evident how difficult the journey of Wen Nan Shu had been.
"Mr. Pei, was it because you were too busy recently and neglected your wife, making her angry? How about... comforting your wife, Mr. Pei?"
Yes, the big boss is busy negotiating a merger and acquisition case with GT in Europe, and also busy accompanying his mistress to argue and swipe credit cards in luxury shopping malls.
Pei Yu cast a cold glance at him, causing He Ji to shiver. He added, "After all, Madam loves President Pei so much, she should be easy to appease."
To be honest, He Ji has never seen anyone as easily fooled as Wen Nanshu when it comes to Pei Zong who can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on his mistress without any hesitation. However, when it comes to wooing Wen Nanshu, it seems like all it takes is a cheap bouquet of roses worth a hundred yuan from a street vendor. Moreover, his wife would attentively arrange the flowers into a beautiful bouquet of preserved flowers.
He Jibuyou couldn't help but compare his mischievous same-sex lover to his own self. Last time they had a fight, if he didn't spend his entire year's salary plus year-end bonus, he wouldn't get a good face.
Even though Pei Yu was extremely unwilling, he did not believe that Wen Nanshu would bring up divorce with him. Wen Nanshu was the kind of person who would exert herself to satisfy him even when she had a high fever, and back in high school, on rainy days, she would walk through the teaching building and the laboratory building, getting soaked herself, just to bring him an umbrella.
Wen Nan loves him so much that he was overjoyed to the point of tears when he agreed to marry him. He cried even more than a woman, for someone who loves him so much, how could they possibly mention divorce?
As soon as Pei Yu thought about this, he felt relieved in his heart. Wen Nan Shu probably just wanted to use the threat of divorce to shake him up and make him focus. It seems that staying at home for too long has made him think more and more like a woman. Pei Yu leaned back in his chair.
"Go and find out where Madame is now."
He remembered how effortless it used to be to coax Wen Nan into doing things, and the days without Wen Nan's presence had made him feel uneasy all over. It would be better to quickly get everything back on track.
He Ji's ability was indeed fast. In the afternoon, Pei Yu drove his flashy Maybach car and parked it in front of the pet hospital.
The road at the entrance was under construction for pipeline maintenance recently, with bricks and mud piled up on both sides of the dug-up path. In addition, there was sewage seeping from some unknown pipes, causing Pei Yu, who got off the car, to have a disgusted look on his face. He struggled to find a place to step down with his expensive handmade leather shoes.
Wen Nanshu received a phone call and only heard the other end say "come out" before hanging up, as if giving an order. Wen Nanshu felt very helpless. He handed over the "failed" that Han JiaNian brought to play with to Xiao Mi, grabbed the hat on the counter, and used it to cover the scar on his forehead that had not yet been removed.
Pei Yu's car was parked by the side of the street. As Wen Nan Shu stepped out, he could see Pei Yu from afar.
Under the winter sun, Pei Yu, wearing a silver-gray suit, leisurely stood with his hands in his pockets. This man, two years younger than him, casually stood there with a heroic and upright posture, his facial features deeply engraved, as if all the surrounding light gathered on him alone, shining excessively bright.
Wen Nan suddenly had the urge to reach out his hand. Pei Yu seemed like a illusory figure that he had been chasing after for over a decade. He couldn't help but inch closer every time, but these rays of light transformed into sharp daggers, piercing him inch by inch, until he ended up in such a state.
"I thought you had found a nice place to stay, surrounded by all these cats and dogs,"
"Let's go, I have all the documents with me."
"You...!" Pei Yu did not expect that he would actually "condescend" to come here and pick someone up, and Wen NanShu was the one who opened his mouth to say this to him.
Wen Nan was a bit surprised. "Weren't you here to accompany me to handle the formalities?"
"Wen Nan, that's enough...," Pei Yu thought to himself, wanting to say the words "stop it" to He Ji, but reluctantly suppressed his anger.
Pei Yu took out a velvet gift box from the car and opened it. Inside was an expensive-looking diamond ring.
"The thing I brought for you from Europe, it's just finished recently. The style of your old ring has long been outdated, and the diamond is too small. Just wear the new one instead. What I said that night was wrong, so let's not argue. Come back with me."
