Chapter 3: My Husband is a Chaste Type

After Gu Nanyan finished speaking, she noticed Qin Yuwei’s face alternating between pale and flushed.

Qin Yuwei looked at her in disbelief, seemingly unable to understand why Gu Nanyan had changed so suddenly.

Could it be that after jumping into the lake, her brain got waterlogged?

“Nanyan, you fainted for a day, you must not have rested well. You should go back to your room and take a proper rest,” Qin Yuwei said, but inside, she was calculating her next move.

It seemed that He Yunrui and Gu Nanyan had had an argument, and at this crucial moment, she needed He Yunrui to calm Gu Nanyan down.

It was rare for Shen Boyan to agree to a divorce, so today, no matter what, Gu Nanyan had to sign the divorce agreement.

Otherwise, things might drag on longer than expected.

“I’ve rested just fine. No need for your concern,” Gu Nanyan impatiently waved her hand, then walked over to Xiao Mumu’s drawing board, observing the peony the little one had just painted.

It was a vibrant, lifelike peony drawing.

While Gu Nanyan admired it quietly, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

To be able to paint so well at not even four years old, she couldn’t imagine the effort the little one must have put in.

And his efforts were all forced.

In the original story, after Gu Nan Yan left the Shen family, Qin Yuwei, in order to please Shen Boyan, forced Xiao Mumu to study even more, eventually driving him to a mental breakdown and causing him to be sent to a psychiatric hospital.

In the end, the little child couldn’t stand the torture in the mental hospital and committed suicide by jumping off the building.

Perhaps it was because this body was the child’s biological mother, but when Gu Nan Yan thought of that outcome, her heart twisted in pain. She immediately shot a fierce glare at Qin Yuwei and said, “Qin Yuwei, stop assigning so much homework to my son!”

“Nan Yan…” Qin Yuwei looked at Gu Nan Yan with increasing surprise. Didn’t she never recognize this son?

She had always believed that it was the existence of this son between her and Shen Boyan that led to her being trapped in the Shen family, so she never even glanced at Xiao Mumu.

Now, why…?

“Don’t forget, who was it that allowed you into the Shen family? I have the ability to let you in, and I also have the ability to drive you out. Xiao Mumu no longer needs to learn so much. At his age, he doesn’t need to bear such heavy pressure.” Gu Nan Yan continued to press Qin Yuwei, all for her son.

To her surprise, Qin Yuwei was not afraid at all. Instead, she responded arrogantly, “Nan Yan, Young Master Shen said that matters regarding the child are not to be interfered with by you. My stay or departure is also decided by Young Master Shen. You have no say.”

“You think I have no say now, but will I never have a say in the future? Qin Yuwei, after all, I am Xiao Mumu’s biological mother. Just based on that, you, an outsider, can never compare!”

Gu Nan Yan’s words were sharp, hitting Qin Yuwei where it hurt.

Her face turned pale as she glared at Gu Nan Yan, her hands clenching with unwillingness.

Despite having gained a lot of favor from Young Master Shen through Xiao Mumu over the years, her identity was still only that of a tutor.

Gu Nan Yan made a scene every day, but Young Master Shen, for the sake of her being Xiao Mumu’s mother, had allowed her to stay in the Shen family for four years.

Why…?

Why!!!

At that moment, Butler Lin walked over with a divorce agreement.

Qin Yuwei’s expression immediately brightened as she looked at the agreement.

Once Gu Nan Yan divorced Young Master Shen, she would no longer be Xiao Mumu’s biological mother!

Young Master Shen had said that once Gu Nan Yan left the Shen family, she would have no more ties to anyone in the Shen family.

She should calm down now and think of a way to get Gu Nan Yan to sign the divorce agreement.

“Madam, this is… something Young Master asked me to deliver to you,” Butler Lin said, carefully handing over the divorce agreement.

“You tell him I won’t sign it,” Gu Nan Yan said as she took the document. Out of respect for the elderly butler, she didn’t immediately tear it up in front of him.

“Yes.”

The butler respectfully withdrew.

Gu Nan Yan deliberately raised the agreement and smiled provocatively at Qin Yuwei. “You really want me to sign? Dream on.”

With that, she strode away.

Qin Yuwei gritted her teeth, staring at Gu Nan Yan’s retreating figure.

After she left, Qin Yuwei quickly returned to her room and called He Yunrui.

At this point, only He Yunrui could persuade Gu Nan Yan to sign the divorce agreement.

…

Gu Nan Yan returned to her room with the divorce agreement. The one she had previously torn up had already been cleaned up by the servants.

Looking at the new one in her hands, Gu Nan Yan still felt a bit uneasy.

Could it be that Shen Boyan had truly made up his mind to drive her out?

What should she do to quickly win back his heart?

In her previous life, she had been focused on research and had never been in a relationship, so Gu Nan Yan really didn’t know how to win back a man.

But Shen Boyan seemed to be the type who was hard to tempt, otherwise, why would Qin Yuwei still be a mere tutor even after years of being in the Shen family?

Gu Nan Yan sat on the sofa, propping her chin with one hand, thinking of ways. Suddenly, her phone rang.

She immediately looked around, finally finding the phone by the bedside.

Looking at the caller ID, her brows immediately furrowed.

Incoming call – Dear Yunrui.

The three words “Dear” made her scalp tingle.

She reluctantly answered the call, and He Yunrui’s voice immediately came through: “Nan Yan, I heard Shen Boyan has agreed to divorce, is it true? I’m so happy, I’ve waited for you all these years, and finally, this day has come. Sign the divorce agreement and then come find me, okay? I’m waiting for you at the usual place.”

What usual place?

Gu Nan Yan had no idea.

Before she could say anything, He Yunrui impatiently asked, “Nan Yan, I’ve waited for you all these years, you won’t let me down, right?”

“Get lost!” Gu Nan Yan spoke through clenched teeth, one word at a time.

“What did you… what?” He Yunrui clearly thought he heard wrong.

“I said you’re a beast! Get lost!”

Gu Nan Yan threw down the phone and hung up.

After hanging up, she quickly blocked the number.

He wanted to deceive her, but she was no longer the same Gu Nan Yan!

After blocking He Yunrui, Gu Nan Yan looked at the contacts on her phone.

To her surprise, it was empty.

She then clicked on the blacklist.

Only then did she realize that all of her family and friends had been added to the blacklist.

The original Gu Nan Yan, obsessed with a lying scoundrel, had alienated everyone.

Now, she had to repair all these relationships herself.

Gu Nan Yan felt overwhelmed and flopped onto the bed with her limbs spread out.

Just as she lay down, something suddenly crossed her mind.

Her maternal family, the Gu family, was a medical family.

That’s exactly aligned with her expertise!

This era wasn’t as advanced in medicine as her previous life, so all of her research achievements could be put to use here.

Wasn’t this like having an advantage?

Finally, she found a breakthrough to repair her relationship with the Gu family, and Gu Nan Yan happily rolled around on the bed, hugging her phone.

After a while, she suddenly sat up straight, opened the browser, and searched for the current status of the Gu family.

Four years had passed, and the Gu family hospital was now managed by her older brother.

Looking at the search results, which showed a photo of Gu Nan Cheng in a white coat, gentle and refined, Gu Nan Yan felt inexplicably heartbroken.

Once, Gu Nan Cheng had spoiled her the most.

But in the end, even he had been completely disappointed.

Now, Gu Nan Yan had no face to face any member of the Gu family.

Since she had no face to face them, Gu Nan Yan didn’t plan to meet with the Gu family anytime soon. She recorded her brother’s email and then dug out the long-forgotten computer from her room.
