C682 Bring the Pen
Lin Ruoxi quietly looked at the man before her as she wrote sentences to separate the two. It was as though they were building walls in front of each other.
He was clearly standing so close to her, and was someone she saw every day. Once this piece of paper took effect, they would no longer be the same …
After about ten minutes, Lin Ruoxi felt like a century had passed.
When Yang Chen picked up the written agreement and placed it in front of Lin Ruoxi, Lin Ruoxi hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face.
She didn't know when the tears had come, but before the day had even passed, they had already reached an uncountable number.
Yang Chen's expression didn't change, as if he didn't see anything, he said solemnly: "You can look at the clause above carefully, I think it shouldn't be a problem. I've already signed it, you just need to sign it and this document will take effect."
Lin Ruoxi looked at the densely packed clauses on the board and calmed herself down. She pulled herself together and started reading them carefully.
The agreement was very fair. There were no conflicts of interest, no loopholes, and it could be said to be the most peaceful way to break up.
When he saw the last signature, Yang Chen had already written his name. The empty line was for her.
Lin Ruoxi stared blankly into space for a moment before raising her head. With an indifferent expression, she said, "Give me a pen."
Yang Chen suddenly grinned and said: "Before I sign your pen, I need to explain some things clearly. Only then can I feel at ease with this divorce."
After a moment of silence, Lin Ruoxi replied, "Go ahead." At the same time, he placed the agreement back in the middle.
Yang Chen crossed his legs, took a sip of coffee and said, "There are two main reasons why we will come to this stage today. First, you are not the only woman around me, you even know quite a few of them, your good sisters … Second, I misunderstood you today, or rather … I doubt you. But the second reason, I think it is more of a fuse. After all, I'm not a robot, I'm not a computer, I have my own emotions, and there will be fever in my head, so … I don't think that's a big problem, but of course, I apologize for my stupidity and recklessness. "
Lin Ruoxi sneered. "No need. Since we're going to get a divorce, there's no need to apologize."
Yang Chen shrugged and smiled, "Alright then, I will get to the point. I believe that when I returned from the Yanjing this time, your greatest dissatisfaction with me came from Aunt Jiang Shan. It was because I found out that I was related to Ning and Yanyan. I don't know what she told you, but I don't think you'd think it was a nice thing to say anyway.
"You must think that I like you just because I see beauties, that's why I have a relationship with all of your good sisters. But what I want to tell you is, although I like beauties, I won't become a pig completely. I don't give a damn about your feelings when I see one love and one love …"
Lin Ruoxi coldly snorted and said, "Speak your mind. There is no need to beat around the bush. All I know is that a certain man had said that he would go to Yanjing to help a woman solve a problem, but not even two days had passed when he suddenly received news that he had gotten into a relationship with two other women, and that both his parents knew that nothing could be changed … I don't see any honesty, any sincerity, any so-called consideration.
Originally there was Qianni, I endured it, because the matter in Hong Kong, I set up a trap, let you be in danger, I feel guilty. You knew Miss Qiangwei before we met, and I have no right to let you erase her, not to mention that she saved our family.
But no matter if it's Mingyu or Anxin, I don't believe that you can't refuse … Even if they really had something to be pitiful about, okay... Because I didn't do my duty as a wife, I accepted the sprouting.
I think you should have other women with you, like meeting Catherine in Paris, but... It's your past, and I can't change it.
However, how do you expect me to understand? Yanyan, who grew up with me, also participated in this. Even more importantly, Big Sister Cai Ning, who was like my elder sister, was also within … The closer the person is to you, the more painful it will be. That's because, is it a fight, but a betrayal! "
As she finished speaking, Lin Ruoxi seemed to have expended a lot of energy as she panted and stared at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen took a deep breath and said seriously, "Fine, I will explain why Ning and Yanyan would 'betray' you."
Lin Ruoxi did not say a word as she looked coldly at Yang Chen.
"Do you still remember the first time you pulled me out of the West Region Police Department? It was from then on that I had some interaction with Yanyan. She thinks I'm some kind of bank robber, and I'm not a good person.
She went against me, causing me so much trouble that she even made me angry a few times, and she was totally disgusted with her.
Later, I met Zhen Xiu. Zhen Xiu told me that Yanyan, the police chief, had helped her, allowing her to embark on the right path and engage in small business.
It was then that I began to think better of her, for her heart was not bad, but I did not like her.
I don't know exactly why Yanyan fell for me. Maybe it was because I saved her once in a shooting case, or maybe it was something else … Anyway, I didn't take the initiative to provoke her.
Do you still remember that time when she came to our house. That white bag was on the sofa, did you forget to take it with you? She did it on purpose. It was a good excuse for her to invite me to meet her …
To be honest, her technique was very cliché, but it suited her personality and was a bit pure and adorable.
That was the time we had lunch together, and she suddenly told me that she liked me … And, she knows from you, we were contracted for a marriage...
"I was a little foolish at the time. Lin Ruoxi, why did you tell her that kind of thing? Heh, if she didn't know that, she probably wouldn't have confessed that time." Yang Chen shook his head with a bitter smile.
When Lin Ruoxi heard this, her expression turned slightly awkward. She had forgotten that she had told Cai Yan about the marriage contract. If that was the case, then she was indeed involved …
Yang Chen continued, "However, although Cai Yan's words made me ashamed and touched, I rejected her that day. I thought she was your sister. I couldn't ignore your feelings.
But I didn't expect Cai Yan's personality to be so unyielding. She actually foolishly thought that I thought she wasn't strong enough, which was why I looked down on her …
"Do you still remember that night when her elder sister Ning ran over home and said that I was cruel to Cai Yan and that if anything happened to Cai Yan, she would definitely not let me go …"
Lin Ruoxi nodded silently. She, too, had never understood what had happened that night.
Yang Chen said, "In order to become more powerful, Yanyan, with her identity as a policewoman, participated in a special forces selection. That was a special training that could lead to accidental death during training …"
This time, Lin Ruoxi could no longer remain calm. She opened her mouth and asked, "Really?"
Yang Chen smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, do you think that Yanyan would suddenly resign and disappear in those few months?"
Lin Ruoxi recalled those days and realized that she was unable to contact Cai Yan. As long as she thought about it, Cai Yan would break out in a cold sweat …
Yang Chen let out a long sigh, "Did you know, when I saw Cai Yan again, who survived the training, standing together with a group of men, sunburned her face, standing under the sun, trying hard to maintain a serious face and pretend not to know me, I couldn't lie to myself at all. How can I ignore all of her hard work!?
A woman who almost lost her life just to make me like her, even to the point of relying on her own imagination and not even being able to see any hope for herself … What have I done for her!? What have I done for her!? If I were to continue ignoring her existence, would I still be human?
"After all, I have interacted quite a bit with her in the past. She said that I didn't feel anything for her and that I was lying to myself. It's just that, through that incident, I admitted to it all."
Lin Ruoxi bit her lip and asked with a misty gaze, "Okay, I can understand it even if it's Yanyan's problem. But what about Sister Cai Ning …"
Yang Chen felt a burst of powerlessness as he said, "Actually, you were also involved in Ning's matter."
Lin Ruoxi frowned. "Why me again? Although I know Big Sister Cai Ning, I'm not familiar with her at all."
"Zeng Xinlin, wasn't Zeng Family something you planned all this time?" Yang Chen bitterly laughed, "If it wasn't for you destroying the Changlin media of Zeng Xinlin with your powerful killing move, there wouldn't have been the revenge of the alliance between Zeng Xinlin and Xu Zhihong. If they didn't go crazy and want to kill you hysterically, I didn't need to slaughter Zeng Xinlin. If it wasn't for Zeng Xinlin's death, the old man from Yanjing, Zeng Mao, wouldn't have come to Zhong Hai to take revenge for his grandson …
If it wasn't for Zeng Mao disregarding everything to eliminate Yulei International, to injure you, and to kill me, I wouldn't have to take the risk of killing Zeng Mao … "
Lin Ruoxi listened to the chain of events and said, puzzled, "Even if I am responsible for all of this, but I am only a businessman. I can't predict what will happen, what does this have to do with Sister Cai Ning?"
Wu Tie rolled his eyes at the woman, "Do you think that the patriarch of Zeng Family, Zeng Mao, is killed so easily? Do you know, I didn't kill the people in the end, but Ning did it so that I wouldn't have to take the risk and avoid the retaliation of the entire Zeng Family faction? So that Anxin and the people around her could live a good life, so Ning could kill Zeng Mao and bear all the responsibility … "
"What …" Lin Ruoxi's eyes widened. She obviously couldn't believe that this was actually the case.
Yang Chen sighed and said, "Actually, you should also find a chance to thank Ning. If she didn't risk going to court to try and protect me, maybe I would be fine, but you and Yu Lei won't be able to survive the outside world's interference, maybe... Whether or not we're still living in China is still a question. "
Lin Ruoxi closed her eyes tightly and covered her forehead to calm down. She then asked, "Then, Sister Cai Ning, has the matter been resolved?"
Yang Chen nodded, and said with deep emotion: "Fortunately, Yanjing's people have established a good relationship with Yanjing's people, so we can consider it settled this time. If I didn't make a trip this time, Cai Ning would actually listen to her mother and marry a scarecrow.
A woman who had nothing to do with me, yet was willing to be tried by a military court for my sake. Not only was she disgraced, she even almost married a man she didn't like … You said how stupid she must be to lose everything and lose everything for the rest of her life...
If, if I was foolish enough to not know her heart, if I really allowed her to marry a fool who wanted to seize the opportunity to seize her, then wouldn't I be worse than that fool? "
Lin Ruoxi did not say a word. She listened to the story in a daze, her hands holding onto her coffee cup. The feeling in her heart made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Even if he gave up everything, even if he was willing to give up his life, he didn't have the heart to ask for anything in return …
In comparison, what she did for Yang Chen seemed to be pitifully little …
Yang Chen laughed at himself and said, "Sometimes, I really feel like I can always pick up a piece of cake that has dropped from the sky. All sorts of good things happen to me. Of course, I didn't say Ruoxi is bad, I just wanted to say it out loud — I, wouldn't let go of the hand of anyone who loved me and the person I loved. Because, all of this is something that they deserve. "
Lin Ruoxi raised her head and met Yang Chen's gaze.
"Lin Ruoxi, I'm very grateful for your company this year. Although the end doesn't seem to be that great, these memories are really very warm …" Yang Chen said with a faint smile.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes were slightly red as her thoughts flew everywhere. Segments of her memories were like black and white scrolls as they continuously flowed and appeared in her mind …
"..."
"Miss Lin, you're not going to let me repay the debt of saving me, are you? I don't have any money, just a rotten life."
"Marry me."
"Miss Lin, speak clearly. Why do I feel like I'm hallucinating …"
"You're not hallucinating, I said. You're going to marry me! "Get married immediately!"
"..."
"Will marriages that aren't in love end up like them?"
"No, at least we won't. If little darling Ruoxi wants to go to the nightclub bar, just call me. I'm very open-minded. We can play together …"
"Scram!"
"..."
"You have three choices. To see a movie, go shopping, and go to the aquarium. Where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to the aquarium. I like those tropical fish. They're very beautiful."
"The aquarium will close soon, let's change it."
"Then we can go shopping as well."
"Shopping in the market, that'll tire me to death."
"Then where are we going?"
"To the movies."
"Then why did you let me choose!? Why don't you just say that you're going to the movies!? "
"Democracy, Democracy, Hehe …"
"..."
"Darling, how much time do we have left on the contract?"
"One and a half years."
"How about shortening it? In half a year, let's just let the two of us scorpions. In half a year, even if they are of the same species, there is still a gap in their levels. We will be tired of them."
"I accept."
"..."
"Are you mocking me? It doesn't matter who I give birth to, it doesn't matter who I raise. Is it possible to mock me as a child that no one wants? "
"You're wrong. It doesn't matter who you came from, nor whose daughter you used to be. The most important thing is where you are now. Right now, you are my wife."
"..."
Lin Ruoxi couldn't control her tears as she watched the scene unfold. After trying her best to remain calm, she wiped her cheeks.
Yang Chen saw this and smiled calmly.
"Give it to me …" Lin Ruoxi extended her hand.
Yang Chen was stunned, "What?"
"Pen …" Lin Ruoxi said quietly, "Didn't you want to sign the divorce agreement?"
Yang Chen was stunned for a moment and then asked in a low voice, "Ruoxi, didn't you cry just now? Why do you need an autograph?"
Lin Ruoxi said in a daze, "What do you mean …"
"Aren't you touched that I've said so much?" Yang Chen asked with an embarrassed smile.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes gradually became clear. "Does it matter? Didn't you say you were going to get a divorce?"
Yang Chen swallowed his saliva, coughed twice, and said with a serious face, "Actually, it wasn't easy for us. Look at how touched we were on the way here. It would be such a pity if we gave up …"
At this point, Lin Ruoxi finally figured out what was going on. The tears in her eyes were covered up, revealing a trace of understanding.
Laughing lightly, Lin Ruoxi said, "Really? I don't feel that it's a pity. Hand over the brush." The woman extended her hand once again.
Yang Chen hurriedly put the pen behind his back and shook his head, "Think about it carefully, this is not a joke!"
"Yang Chen, you're the one who asked for a divorce. You wrote the divorce agreement, are you going to go back on your words now!?" Lin Ruoxi said with her eyes wide open.
Yang Chen's face was as bitter as a bitter gourd. In the end, he had no choice but to take out his pen and give it to Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi grabbed the pen and shot a cold glance at Yang Chen. She found the signature bar and prepared to write on it …
But before Lin Ruoxi could write it, the agreement was quickly snatched away by Yang Chen!
"Oh my mother, Lin Ruoxi, you're such a stone-hearted woman, aren't you? You're really going to sign if I let you, aren't you going to divorce me!?"
Do you have any conscience? After hearing such a touching story, wouldn't you feel that your man was very responsible and that a woman was very pitiful?! You wouldn't say, 'Dear husband, I understand, I support you' or something!? How are you going to let Yanyan and Ning live! Aren't you still giving me a way out!? What divorce agreement are you signing!? " Yang Chen screamed as though he wanted to cry.
Lin Ruoxi laughed coldly. "I don't have that kind of thought. Since you want a divorce, I'll definitely cooperate with you. Since you're acting so rashly in front of so many people in the company, why should I hesitate? Come, give me the agreement."
Yang Chen rolled his eyes. Regardless of the consequences, he tore that piece of paper into pieces right in front of Lin Ruoxi, crushed it into a ball, and threw it to the side!
"You … Why did you tear it off!? " Lin Ruoxi asked angrily.
Yang Chen looked confused, and asked in a silly manner, "What's torn off, I didn't do anything, didn't we come here to drink coffee? Cough, cough …"
Lin Ruoxi exhaled and frowned, looking speechless. "I'm really going to die. Why would I meet such a thick-skinned man like you? Even after a year, why are you still so weak? You're just a scoundrel!"
Yang Chen was holding a cup of coffee, looking out the window at the fountain as he clicked his tongue. He put on an act and said, "Hur Hur, Madam, the fountain today is really pretty. It seems like there's more water than usual. Hur Hur Hur …"
Lin Ruoxi glared at Yang Chen, who was being shameless. She clenched her teeth, wanted to laugh but also wanted to curse loudly. In the end, she just stood up abruptly and shouted, "Waiter! "I want to pay!"
"Hey, what account are you settling? I haven't finished!" Yang Chen quickly turned around and shouted.
"Drink it! Drink it to death!"
Lin Ruoxi didn't even bother to wait for the waiter, directly taking out a few hundred red notes and leaving in a rage.
How could Yang Chen still sit there? He finished his coffee in big gulps and wanted to follow her. However, when he saw that Lin Ruoxi had not finished her cup of Blue Mountain coffee, he gulped it down before catching up to Lin Ruoxi.
After chasing Lili out of the coffee shop, Yang Chen stopped her and said with a smile, "Dear Ruoxi, don't be angry, I have no other choice. I've always been single-mindedly following you my entire life!"
Lin Ruoxi was actually more than half done with her anger. She no longer felt wronged about Cai Ning and was more dissatisfied with Yang Chen playing tricks. She raised her head and pouted, "Forget it, I don't believe you, a rascal who keeps his word."
"Don't, not to mention our current relationship, everyone in the company already knows about it. Don't tell me that we were immediately divorced right after being announced as husband and wife? How embarrassing... I don't lose too much face, but your CEO does lose too much face! " Yang Chen said righteously.
"You … You still have the face to say that!? " Lin Ruoxi was about to go crazy when she thought about how her relationship with Yang Chen was being spread around the company.
"Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! "Since that's the case …" Yang Chen showed a serious expression again. He suddenly grabbed Lin Ruoxi's hand and said, "Wifey, come with me to another place. I really won't play any tricks this time."
