Chapter 283: Chapter 282: Eat it in front of me
Civil Affairs Bureau Divorce Processing Office.
"Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?" The attendant looked at Wen Nuan and Leng Yan, eyes showing regret, trying to persuade them to give up the idea of divorce.
"No need." Wen Nuan shook her head firmly, picked up the pen and signed her name. Leng Yan hesitated for a moment but eventually picked up the pen.
"Divorced... finally free..."
As she left the Civil Affairs Bureau, the scorching sun blazed down on the earth, the air filled with hot temperatures. Yet her heart was cold to the bone, clutching the divorce certificate, leaning against a pillar, tears streaming uncontrollably. She watched Leng Yan get in the car, moving further and further away from her. She also saw Ji Wei emerge from somewhere, walking up to her with a mocking and triumphant smile in her beautiful eyes, "Wen Nuan, I told you long ago, Leng Yan is mine, you can’t take him away!"
"Nuannuan, what’s wrong?" Lin Xue pushed open the office door and came in, seeing her head resting on her arm, tears soaking the draft paper below, she urgently nudged her: "Nuannuan, wake up, were you dreaming?"
"Master?"
Wen Nuan suddenly raised her head, hurriedly dried her tears. Realizing she was in the office, the big stone in her heart suddenly fell to the ground.
Yes, she was dreaming. Dreaming that she divorced Leng Yan.
"Did you dream about your husband and Ji Wei?" Pulling over a chair to sit in front of her, Lin Xue looked at her seriously: "Did you?"
"How did you know about her and Ji Wei?" Wen Nuan widened her eyes: "Did Tan Qing tell you?"
She asked this, but her heart was uncertain.
Tan Qing wasn’t that kind of person, but so far, besides Ji Wei and Leng Yan, only she, Tan Qing, and Xixi knew about this matter.
Could Ji Wei have leaked the details herself to make it absolute?
Thinking of this, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"Young Master Tan wouldn’t say anything." Lin Xue shook her head, "I happened to run into your good friend Tong Xi when I went out for lunch. She asked me to persuade you to go to Italy and told me about the incident. Xixi, I think it’s also good for you to go."
Lin Xue lovingly stroked her hair: "Poor Nuannuan, what are you planning to do? Forgive him, or divorce?"
Wen Nuan gave a bitter smile: "Master, what do you think is better?"
Lin Xue thought for a while, "Leng Yan is a good man, excellent in all aspects. Tong Xi said he has been looking for you, he even went to your home yesterday to celebrate your birthday, begging you not to divorce."
Wen Nuan nodded, yes, Tong Xi called this morning to ask about the progress, she told her.
"I think he is very sincere." Lin Xue concluded.
"Master, if you were me, could you tolerate your husband betraying you? And the other person isn’t just any stranger, this isn’t just a simple one-night stand." Wen Nuan asked, sighing softly.
"Me?" Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile: "Yes, we often advise others. But if it happened to us, we couldn’t really accept it."
If her husband cheated, she would definitely tie him up while he was asleep, take a pair of scissors, and castrate him, then divorce!
"I want to divorce, but he keeps pleading with me. Master, I want to go to Italy. I want to clear my mind, cool off from this matter. I’m very confused right now, maybe after some time, I’ll calm down and handle this matter properly."
Last night, Leng Yan kept chasing after her, she drove away in anger, and he ran after her. Finally, her heart softened a little, and she stopped the car. Leng Yan begged her to give each other a few days, not to rush to divorce, to see if it really reached a point where divorce was the only option.
As he spoke, holding her, tears flowed from his eyes, dripping onto her slightly upturned face. At that moment, she couldn’t harden her heart.
In fact, she feared being apart from him, or else why would she have such a dream?
However, she didn’t want to return to the villa. Living at the Wen Family would raise suspicion, she spent the whole morning thinking about where to live, skipped lunch, and inadvertently fell asleep while thinking.

At night, a silver BMW was parked below Tong Xi’s building. The man inside the car slightly tilted his head, looking at Tong Xi’s window, his eyes filled with melancholy and sorrow.
He followed all the way, knowing that Wen Nuan was staying at Tong Xi’s today, but he didn’t have the courage to go up.
Watching as the lights inside went out, turning into pitch black, he lit a cigarette, slowly finished smoking, and then left.
The car stopped by a pharmacy, bought a box of medicine from the 24-hour window, and got back into the car, only stopping at Ji Wei’s downstairs.
"Yan?"
Ji Wei had just finished a beauty mask and was about to sleep when she was awakened by the phone on the bedside table. She frowned unhappily, but when she saw the number on the screen, her heart leaped with excitement, ready to jump out of her chest.
"I’m downstairs." Leng Yan’s voice was as calm as a glass of water, with just a few words, he hung up the call. Under the car light, he looked at the medicine in his hand, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
I’m sorry, Ji Wei, you said you took it, but I need to see it with my own eyes to be assured.
Not daring to keep Leng Yan waiting too long, but wanting him to see her at her best. Ji Wei quickly put on makeup, took out a newly bought dress and posed in front of the mirror, satisfied with her smile, then went downstairs.
Seeing a silver car parked outside, she ran happily over, intending to pull open the passenger door: "Yan, you’re looking for me?"
Slightly surprised, the car door was locked.
"Leng Yan?" she asked, puzzled.
"Ji Wei, I have something to discuss with you."
Leng Yan opened the driver’s door, looking at her, with an unusual glow in his eyes.
"Yan." Ji Wei thought of something, her heart filled with joy, she softly called, her eyes filled with shy charm: "This late, you came to see me..."
She just knew that after such an incident, a love-focused girl like Wen Nuan wouldn’t forgive him. She was very likely to choose divorce.
"Take the medicine." Leng Yan took out a bottle of water from inside, handing it to her, a box of medicine in his palm.
He thought it through, but still wasn’t reassured. Ji Wei loved him, he knew. So he feared Ji Wei might have just said she took it, without actually taking it.
"Yan!"
Ji Wei was shocked, the excitement just building in her heart replaced by shock and annoyance. She looked at him, her almond eyes widening in grievance: "This is..."
"It’s effective within three days, Ji Wei, I don’t want any trouble in the future."
"You don’t trust me?" Ji Wei took a step back, looking at his palm, shaking her head in pain: "How can you do this, do you think I would lie to you?"
"I..."
Leng Yan’s throat tightened, he closed his eyes, took a step forward: "Take it, in front of me."
He could no longer bring himself to say he trusted Ji Wei, after last night, Wen Nuan’s reluctant agreement to reconsider made him see hope again, he couldn’t afford the slightest mistake.
"Okay." Watching him pressing on step by step, Ji Wei frowned: "Do you have any rock candy?"
"No." Leng Yan shook his head, at this point, how could he bother giving her rock candy. He felt guilt towards Ji Wei, but he had no choice, he could only choose one.
That person was Wen Nuan.
