“Hiss!” After Shen Qingqiu finished speaking, the villa suddenly fell silent. Everyone was too shocked to speak. Lin Ruoxi and Xia Anran, regaining their senses, immediately questioned her.
“Qingqiu, are you serious?”
“You really want to divorce Shen Yunshen? I thought you were just saying that…”
Xia Anran added anxiously, “Qingqiu, don’t divorce Brother Shen because of me. Even if it’s fake, don’t do it. He may not be the one who married you, but over the years, even if he hasn’t achieved much, he’s at least endured a lot. Doing this would hurt him too much…”
Even Cheng Zewen looked surprised, though he coughed twice with feigned concern.
Shen Qingqiu’s gaze turned cold. “Who told him to be so disobedient lately, even hitting Awen? When I first brought up the divorce cooling-off period, it was to make him understand his place. But him? Just because he donated blood to Awen, now he’s pushing boundaries! Since that’s how he wants to play, then fine, I’ll go all the way—I’ll have him sign the divorce registration application and see if he panics.”
Lin Ruoxi and Xia Anran immediately understood Shen Qingqiu’s intent. It was still a threat, just one taken to the extreme.
If Ye Yunshen signed that divorce registration application, it would have legal effect—just like receiving a death notice from the King of Hell!
Sister Ruoxi said with a grin, “Sister Qingqiu, you’re something else. Now Shen Yunshen won’t dare act so recklessly anymore.”
Xia Anran chimed in, “Exactly! He definitely won’t dare to sign it. He might even go change back into his old clothes and hairstyle and obediently come apologize!”
“But what if Brother Shen really signs it?” Cheng Zewen asked tentatively.
In his heart, he was almost certain Ye Yunshen truly wanted to leave the three heiresses. They were just unaware. He wanted to see how they’d react if Ye Yunshen actually signed it—it would determine his next move.
“Impossible! He wouldn’t dare!” Lin Ruoxi and Xia Anran laughed without hesitation.
But Shen Qingqiu suddenly said coldly, “No. He must sign it! This is the lesson I’m giving him! Once he signs and truly regrets it, I’ll revoke the divorce application.”
A smirk of satisfaction crept onto Cheng Zewen’s lips. Their attitude wouldn’t hinder his plans. He could proceed confidently.
“But shouldn’t you inform Uncle and Aunt about such a major thing as a divorce application?” Lin Ruoxi asked with concern.
“Yeah, you should tell them. And you need to go home to get the household registration booklet too,” Xia Anran reminded. “You need that for divorce registration.”
Soon after, Shen Qingqiu returned alone to the Shen family home. Her first words were asking Kong Fengyi for the household registration booklet.
“Huh? Why do you need that?” Kong Fengyi was startled.
Coughing violently, Shen Xuechang nearly choked on his tea.
There were only three people left in the household register now. Ye Yunshen’s name was already removed. If she saw it…
“Dad, Mom, what’s wrong with you two? I just asked for the booklet—why the big reaction?” Shen Qingqiu stared at them suspiciously. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Both Shen Xuechang and Kong Fengyi looked incredibly guilty. That booklet had basically become a forbidden item in the house. Especially for Shen Qingqiu—she must never see it. It held the “evidence” of Ye Yunshen being severed from the family.
“I don’t know where I put it…” Kong Fengyi tried to brush her off. “Why do you need it?”
“For the divorce!” Shen Qingqiu said without hesitation.
BOOM—
At the mention of “divorce,” it was as if thunder struck them. Shen Xuechang and Kong Fengyi were left stunned and charred, as if they’d seen a ghost.
“Shen Qingqiu, are you out of your mind? You really want to divorce Yunshen?” Shen Xuechang exploded with rage.
“I’m just scaring him, okay? Relax. Once he signs the divorce application, he’ll regret it and revoke it himself. We won’t actually get divorced,” Shen Qingqiu said confidently, as if she had Ye Yunshen in the palm of her hand.
Shen Xuechang nearly fainted. That boy had already cut ties with them—if she brought up divorce, he’d absolutely agree. There’d be no regrets. Once the form was signed, it would lead straight to divorce. Knowing him, he might even applaud when he finds out.
Ye Yunshen had already mentioned divorce before. Shen Xuechang had hoped things would improve… but now, Shen Qingqiu was being serious?
He and Kong Fengyi couldn’t accept it.
“Qingqiu, listen to Mom, let’s not get divorced. Talk to Yunshen again. A harmonious family is more important than anything…” Kong Fengyi pleaded.
But Shen Qingqiu was determined to teach Ye Yunshen a real lesson. “Alright, Mom, I promise you, the divorce won’t actually go through. Once he regrets it, we’ll revoke the application.”
“Promise? What kind of promise is that? How do you know he’ll regret it? That he’ll revoke it?” Shen Xuechang couldn’t take it anymore and barked, “No household registration booklet! And you’re not allowed to leave either. Stay put at home!”
“Dad! You don’t even know how rebellious Shen Yunshen has become! He’s even started following me!” Shen Qingqiu’s temper flared when he didn’t budge. “Fine! You won’t give it to me? I have other ways to file a divorce application!”
Furious, she stormed out.
Behind her, Shen Xuechang yelled in rage, “Shen Qingqiu, if you really go through with this divorce, you’ll regret it!!”
BOOM—
His only reply was the roar of the car engine.
Soon after, Shen Qingqiu called her assistant Xiao Hong. “Xiao Hong, listen. Take Shen Yunshen to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now and have him sign the divorce application! I’ve arranged everything!”
“Huh? Miss, you…” Xiao Hong was just as shocked as Lin Ruoxi and Xia Anran, but she didn’t show it and wisely kept quiet.
As the assistant, all she had to do was carry out Shen Qingqiu’s orders.
She then called Ye Yunshen.
At that moment, Ye Yunshen was preparing to visit the Old Dragon King with Xiao Yunrong. Last time, the old man had one foot in the grave—Ye Yunshen had saved his life. This time, he was going to treat his illness. This story is hosted at novelping dot com.
But just as he was about to leave, his phone rang.
“Hello?” Ye Yunshen answered.
Whatever the caller said left him surprised at first, then deep in thought. Finally, he exhaled in relief.
“Alright, I got it. Come pick me up at No. 1 Villa, Jiujian Hall.”
“Who was that?” Xiao Yunrong asked.
In just three seconds, Ye Yunshen’s expression had shifted through surprise, thoughtfulness, and calm acceptance—so many emotions in so little time. Xiao Yunrong was astonished.
Ye Yunshen put down his phone and smiled. “In about an hour, I might be officially divorced.”
“Officially divorced…” Her breath caught, and Xiao Yunrong’s eyes widened slightly.
Then, as if she realized something, a hint of joy lit up her beautiful face. “Then go ahead, Brother Yunshen, I’ll come pick you up in an hour!”
Ye Yunshen stared at her. “Were you just secretly happy?”
“Huh? Was I? I’m heartbroken…” Xiao Yunrong immediately put on a sorrowful face.
How could Ye Yunshen not understand that little-girl mindset?
If he divorced, she’d finally be free to pursue him openly…
He shook his head helplessly and waited by the gate of Jiujian Hall.
Before long, a business-class Bentley pulled up in front of him.
The door opened. Xiao Hong, dressed in professional attire, sat inside.
“Mr. Shen, long time no see. Please get in.”
Without a word, she adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and glanced at the luxurious Jiujian Hall behind them, then said nothing else.
Before coming, she’d already heard everything from Shen Qingqiu. Ye Yunshen had followed her all the way here.
Otherwise, a villa in a place like Jiujian Hall wasn’t somewhere someone like Ye Yunshen could freely enter.
The car drove steadily toward the Civil Affairs Bureau. Ye Yunshen sat upright with his eyes closed, resting. But Xiao Hong was clearly on edge.
Finally, she couldn’t hold it in anymore and asked, “Mr. Shen, why did you agree to it over the phone just now?”
