Chapter 7 Desperately Wanting a Divorce

She thought it was Lu Zhenyu delivering lunch to her, so she didn't open her eyes.

"Put the food on the table, I'll eat it later."

She had insomnia last night, and performed surgery early this morning, so as soon as she relaxed, she began to feel a little worn out.

"Haven't you eaten yet?"

A deep and magnetic voice, very distinctive, reached her ears.

That wasn't Lu Zhenyu.

Because that guy's voice isn't that pleasant.

And this voice was strangely familiar...

...

She suddenly opened her eyes.

As soon as she did, a familiar face loomed above her.

A face she often saw in her dreams these past two nights.

The man stood above her head, looking down at her slightly.

He didn't miss the astonishment and surprise in her face and eyes.

Very vivid, and cute.

Her features were delicate and three-dimensional, very pretty, especially those almond eyes that always seemed to sparkle with stars, twinkling brightly.

In this lifetime, he guessed he would never forget those eyes.

Once Su He recognized his face, she immediately bolted upright from the couch.

"How... how did you get in?" she blurted out to Jiang Yan.

With a faint smile in his eyes, the man's thin lips curved slightly, and he pointed at the door with a finger, "I walked in."

Su He: "..."

His answer seemed unobjectionable.

What followed was a scene that was a perfect illustration of the saying 'silence is golden.'

Although she and Jiang Yan were husband and wife, they weren't close and naturally had nothing to talk about.

After getting married, except for the night of their wedding...

They went their separate ways the next day.

Over these four years, they barely saw each other a few times

One time he didn't even realize it was her, the other times were just the day before yesterday and yesterday.

And the encounters from the past two days were so unpleasant!

So, why was he coming to see her again today out of the blue?

He wouldn't be here to say something nonsensical again, would he?

She frowned and looked distressed.

If that was the case, she wasn't going to indulge him this time.

Jiang Yan noticed her frowning, not sure what she was thinking, when suddenly she asked, "Do you have time today?"

He didn't immediately understand what she wanted, thinking she might be inviting him to a meal as an apology, after all, she really did make him mad that day.

So he nodded, "I do."

Sure enough, the next second, he saw a smile light up on her face.

But—

The words that she blurted out next turned his face ice-cold in an instant.

She said, "Then that's great, let's take the time to get the divorce done."

He was about to speak when he saw her hop up from the couch happily, not caring whether he agreed or not.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll change clothes, and then we can go to the civil affairs office."

Jiang Yan's deep eyes flickered with gloom, his face gradually darkening to the depths of despair, but Su He did not notice.

Because at this moment, her mind was filled only with the word "divorce."

It was one of the things she needed to handle since returning to the country.

Now that he happened to have time, she definitely needed to seize the opportunity.

Just as she turned around, she heard him say, "Su He, I do have time, but I'm not here to get divorced."

His voice was cool and heavy, just like him at this moment.

If only Su He paid him a bit more attention, she would see the restraint and endurance in the depths of his eyes.

But sadly—

She didn't.

"Huh?" Su He halted her cheerful steps, turned around, and questioned with a frown:

"Why not? Didn't we agree on this four years ago?"

"You have time now, so why can't we get a divorce?"

Four years ago, when they married, she proposed—

That they would divorce after four years, and only after he agreed, did she consent to marry him.

And she had been a shield for him for four years; that was enough, right?

Jiang Yan was slightly stunned, inwardly sighing.

He knew this matter had to be confronted sooner or later, but...

He had simply agreed to her spontaneous request at that time.

His favored face showed no emotion now, as the man narrowed his almond eyes and spoke righteously, "The time hasn't come yet."

"Huh?"

Su He's small face twisted in confusion, as if to say "You better give me a reasonable explanation!"

The man was serious, "Still a month to go."

Su He understood, but was puzzled.

"...I mean, what's the difference between one month early or late? We're going to divorce sooner or later anyway, so why can't it be now?"

Jiang Yan remained unmoved. He strode over to the sofa and sat down.

Then, he turned his head to look at her and said earnestly, "I always adhere to principles when I do things, just like cooperating with a company, I wouldn't break the contract before it expires."

Su He blinked in confusion, facing him.

At that moment she was speechless!

What kind of nonsensical principle was this?

Isn't this just making arguments for the sake of arguing?

How could the matters between them be equated with a company's cooperation?

Jiang Yan looked at her expressionlessly.

He didn't expect her to be so eager to divorce.

She had just gone from a joyful expression to a gloomy one.

In less than a few seconds.

Jiang Yan then changed the subject, "I haven't eaten either, let's eat together."

Su He refused without a second thought, "No, someone has brought me food."

Her mood was extremely foul right now.

And she was supposed to eat with him? In his dreams.

The man wasn't in a hurry. He casually brushed some dust off his shoulder, saying slowly, "If the madam does not behave this month, then, I suppose this marriage might be difficult to dissolve."

Su He looked at him incredulously, "... Wait, are you threatening me?"

Anyone but a fool could hear it.

Because of the man's threatening words, Su He didn't notice the way he addressed her.

The man's lips curled in a quasi-smirk, looking at her intently, "If the madam prefers to understand it that way, she can."

"..."

In the end.

Su He still 'skived off work' and obediently went to have a meal with him.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi were slightly taken aback when they saw the two standing together.

This was the first time since their wedding four years ago that Master and the madam were seen standing together.

One had to marvel, they really matched well.

Whether it was height, looks, or aura, they were quite compatible.

Moreover, it was the first time they saw a woman standing next to their Master with such a strong presence.

"Master, madam."

The two greeted them respectfully.

The man responded coldly.

In contrast, Su He frowned and questioned them, "What did you just call me?"

Jiang Feng was puzzled, "Madam, we called you madam, do you have..."

Su He immediately made a pause gesture, "Stop there."

She paused briefly, her expression somewhat serious, "Don't call me madam!"

Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi were taken aback: "..."

Jiang Yan was also stunned for a moment, and he unconsciously furrowed his brows.

Jiang Feng asked with a tremble in his voice, "Mad—"

Su He shot them a chilling look and he immediately swallowed back the word.

"Why not?"
