''Let a few years pass and I will marry whoever you tell me to. But not now, not immediately,'' Li Yuyan spoke aloud but in her mind she was thinking,

''For now, I have to get rid of Wang Lian. I must find a way to get a divorce''.

''Which city would you like to study in?'' Dr Ye Jing Lan dropped the idea of marriage.

''Anywhere—I have no preference,'' Li Yuyan replied.

When she had left her house, Li Yuyan had taken all her documents, plus as much of her jewellery as she could. When Dr Ye Jing Lan called her a few days later to inform her that he had decided to admit her to a college in Xi An she went to her room and fetched a small bag from her suitcase.

She returned to Dr Ye Jing Lan's study and opening the bag took out the envelope containing the necessary documents and handed it to Dr Ye Jing Lan. Then she took out another small container from the bag and put it on the table.
