Chapter 2: Divorce Agreement

Cen Wan curled up in the darkness, her soul seemed to be torn and devoured by evil spirits, her brows furrowed, her face pale, her expression filled with pain.

She muttered to herself, “Lu Beixun… I hurt so much, where are you…”

“Madam, wake up.”

“Madam.”

Seeing that she didn’t wake up, the voice became louder, “Madam, you had a nightmare, wake up.”

Yang Yi called out to her, the person curled up in bed was pale, tears had wet the broken hair on both sides of her temples.

Cen Wan, who was deep in darkness, heard the familiar voice, as if she had grasped a lifeline, she suddenly opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, her expression dazed.

Cen Wan looked at Yang Yi blankly, muttering, “Yang Yi…”

Her brows furrowed, “Yang Yi, are you dead too?”

Yang Yi: “…”

Yang Yi looked at her helplessly, gently patted her trembling shoulder, “What are you talking about, Madam, look where this is?”

Yang Yi didn’t think much of it, she just thought she had a nightmare while sleeping and didn’t react for a while.

Cen Wan looked around, her face full of disbelief.

It’s Lu’s house…

It’s her bedroom…

Could it be that the underworld also has Lu’s house? This is completely impossible, ruling out this idea, it means she is still dreaming.

She reached out and pinched her thigh hard, the pain made her gasp, it hurt so much…

It’s not a dream.

Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, picked up the phone on the bedside table and turned it on, she glanced at the time, it was early September, a month after she married Lu Beixun.

Cen Wan grabbed Yang Yi’s arm in a panic, “Yang Yi, how long have I been married to Lu Beixun?”

Her words left Yang Yi confused, she was stunned for a moment, and answered truthfully, “One month.”

Cen Wan let go of Yang Yi, took a step back, that’s right, she married Lu Beixun in August when she was twenty-two years old.

She was reborn!?

She had seen many novels and TV dramas of this type, but she never thought it would happen to her…

This is unbelievable!

Seeing her face full of disbelief, Yang Yi thought, did she sleep silly?

Yang Yi was completely dumbfounded, after a while, she remembered the important thing, “Madam, Mr. is waiting for you downstairs.”

Mr.? Lu Beixun?

In the blink of an eye, Yang Yi was left alone in the bedroom.

Cen Wan was in a hurry, afraid that she would miss him if she went down a second late, she even forgot to wear her slippers.

She was wearing a misty blue silk nightgown, her long hair was scattered behind her, hanging down to her shoulders, slightly messy; her features were delicate, her skin was fair and smooth, and there were still tear stains on her cheeks.

When she went downstairs, she looked at the man sitting on the sofa. He was leaning back on the sofa, his long legs crossed casually, he was wearing a black suit, exuding an air of abstinence.

Lu Beixun’s features were deep, his brow bones were high, his eyes were long and black, he was noble and elegant, gentle and aloof.

As if noticing her intense gaze, the man slightly turned his head to look over.

The moment their eyes met, Cen Wan’s expression froze, his eyes were cold and aloof, calm and unruffled, without any emotion, very unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that it was as if he was looking at a stranger.

Her heart couldn’t help but tremble, she didn’t care about anything else, as long as he was alive.

Lu Beixun’s gaze fell on her feet, but after two seconds, he shifted his gaze away without a sound. Go read the novel on the website.

Seeing her coming over, Lu Beixun stood up from the sofa, his figure was tall and slender, Cen Wan’s height barely reached his shoulder.

Cen Wan stared straight at his left chest, where she had stabbed him with a knife, the knife that had almost taken his life, her eyes were filled with regret.

Lu Beixun’s thin lips pursed slightly, he wanted to say something but was interrupted by her actions.

Cen Wan reached out to unbutton Lu Beixun’s shirt, her hands trembled uncontrollably, she hadn’t even unbuttoned a single button when Lu Beixun grabbed her wrist, he took a step back, creating a distance between them, and let go of her.

Looking up at him, Cen Wan’s eyes were already moist, Lu Beixun’s eyes were aloof, like a still pond.

Cen Wan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, the previous Lu Beixun would never look at her with this kind of gaze, and he would never back away when she wanted to get close to him.

“Lu Beixun…”

She stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his lean waist, hugged him tightly and wouldn’t let go, as if she had found a lost treasure, afraid that this was a dream, and when she woke up, he would be gone again, her cheek pressed tightly against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, only then did she feel a sense of reality.

Lu Beixun’s body stiffened for a moment, he could clearly feel the trembling body of the girl in his arms, the hand at his side lifted, paused in the air for a few seconds and then put it back down, his expression was obscure, no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

After ten seconds, the hand that Cen Wan had wrapped around his waist was ruthlessly pulled away, Lu Beixun moved away from her again, as if he was avoiding a plague.

Cen Wan’s heart was pierced with pain, but it didn’t matter, this little pain was nothing, even if Lu Beixun wanted her life now, she would give it to him without hesitation.

Lu Beixun picked up the folder on the coffee table, his expression cold as he handed it to her, “Sign it.”

“What?” Cen Wan’s gaze never left him, afraid that he would disappear and leave her behind.

She took the folder, opened it, and saw the words “Divorce Agreement” on it, she was stunned, she held her breath, she never thought it would be a divorce agreement.

Looking at the divorce agreement in her hand, she fell into memories.

She and Lu Beixun were a business marriage, it was more like Lu Beixun used some means to tie her to his side. There were problems within Cen’s company, funds were embezzled, company secrets were leaked, Lu’s company had a project that could save Cen’s company from the fire, he proposed a condition, the two families would marry.

Cen Wan’s parents loved her very much, they said that if she didn’t want to, it was okay, they would move to another city and live an ordinary life.

She couldn’t bear to see her father’s hard-earned company go bankrupt, so she agreed. She married Lu Beixun, who was twenty-six years old, when she was twenty-two.

It wasn’t difficult to fall in love with a man as noble and excellent as Lu Beixun, even if there was no love, they could still live in harmony, it didn’t matter who she married.

After marriage, she didn’t have a relationship with Lu Beixun, and Lu Beixun respected her very much, the two of them lived under the same roof but in different rooms.

A week after their marriage, Cen Yuan told her that the funds of Cen’s company were embezzled and the company secrets were leaked, it was done by Lu Beixun’s people, the purpose was just to tie her to his side.

She didn’t believe it, but compared to Lu Beixun, she was more inclined to believe her brother who she had been with for twenty years.

In order to find evidence, she went to his study while Lu Beixun was at work, and found a business leather notebook in the most hidden drawer of the desk. As soon as she opened it, a photo fell to the ground, it was a photo of her on her eighteenth birthday.

She had a bright smile in the photo.

On the page where the photo fell, there was a line of writing, the handwriting was clear and powerful.

[Eighteen-year-old Cen Wan has a bright and cheerful smile.]

She stared at the handwriting for a few seconds and flipped to the next page, the same handwriting, the same photo was clipped, it was her on her twentieth birthday.

[Twenty-year-old Cen Wan, holding the hand of another man, her smile is still bright, at that moment, I wanted to use any means to keep her by my side.]

She flipped to the next page, it was the year she married Lu Beixun, her twenty-second birthday, Lu Beixun was with her, the photo clipped on this page was her holding Lu Beixun’s wrist, the smile on her face was no longer as bright and cheerful as before, it had become more mature.

[Cen Wan was twenty-two years old this year, I used unfair means to keep her by my side.]

There were only three pages with writing in the notebook, because of this sentence, she was even more convinced of what Cen Xiu said. From then on, she completely fell out with Lu Beixun.

As long as she didn’t divorce, Lu Beixun would indulge her in everything, she moved out of Lu’s house, and they only met when they had to deal with their parents.

Lu Beixun’s parents were abroad, they didn’t see each other often, her parents liked him very much, in order not to worry her parents, she just put on a show with Lu Beixun, and he was happy to cooperate with her.

Because only at this time would she give Lu Beixun a good face.

Lu Beixun cooperated with her to act flawlessly in front of her parents, but she felt disgusted and hypocritical.

Now that she thought about it, the embezzlement of funds and the leakage of company secrets were undoubtedly done by Cen Xiu. There weren’t many people who could access these things, and Cen Xiu was one of them.

She was stupid before, Lu Beixun was a big shot, he was powerful in Kyoto, he wouldn’t stoop to such a despicable means, what he wrote in his notebook should have another meaning.
