Xiao Hong still had some paperwork to handle, so she didn’t witness what had just happened. She assumed Ye Yunshen had only pretended to stay calm when signing the papers. After all, men cared a lot about pride, especially in a place like the Civil Affairs Bureau. Everyone wanted to look like they were being cool and collected, even if inside they were panicking and reluctant.
After finishing her business, Xiao Hong returned to report.
“CEO Shen, Mr. Shen signed the divorce registration.”
She handed the signed form to Shen Qingqiu.
All three socialites’ gazes sharpened when they saw the document.
“What was his reaction when he signed?” Lin Ruoxi asked.
In their expectations, Ye Yunshen shouldn’t have had the guts to sign it. He should have panicked on the spot. That’s why they were so curious about how he responded.
“He was calm. Completely indifferent,” Xiao Hong replied. “I even reminded him several times.”
Lin Ruoxi looked surprised. “He just signed it like that? No hesitation at all?”
Xiao Hong shook her head.
It was truly unexpected.
Lin Ruoxi frowned slightly. “He’s probably just being stubborn, trying to get our attention by acting tough.”
Shen Qingqiu sneered confidently and said, “Don’t worry. With time, he’ll regret it. This time it’s a legally binding divorce cooling-off period. We’ll wait for him to come back, apologize and admit fault. It won’t take long.”
She turned back toward the kitchen, planning to cook a meal personally for Cheng Zewen.
Xia Anran gave a thumbs up. “The difference between a great chef and an average one lies in how they handle ingredients. Too much heat ruins them, too little leaves them raw!” She was clearly comparing Shen Qingqiu to a chef and Ye Yunshen to the ingredients.
The villa was filled with laughter and joy—except for Cheng Zewen, who sat quietly with the divorce registration form in hand.
He had noticed something none of the three socialites had—Ye Yunshen’s signature.
It was signed as Ye Yunshen.
And a divorce registration required real-name identification…
That meant Ye Yunshen had already severed ties with the Shen family.
But Cheng Zewen kept that detail to himself. To him, the less the three socialites knew, the better.
Now that they had finished dealing with Ye Yunshen, they could focus fully on searching for the mysterious blood donor…
…
Inside the car.
Xiao Yunrong was still basking in the joy of Ye Yunshen’s successful divorce.
“My divorce made you this happy?” Ye Yunshen asked from the passenger seat, helpless. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
“Brother Yunshen, you don’t get it. I was just emotional.”
“Emotional?”
“Yeah!” Xiao Yunrong answered matter-of-factly. “Just a few days ago, I was someone who wasn’t expected to live through the year. I didn’t even dare to think about love. But now, I’m healed—and I’ve found my love. If this isn’t fate, then what is?”
“So yes, I believe in it wholeheartedly. And I won’t give up on chasing you. One day, I’ll win you over!” She was fully confident in this.
Ye Yunshen smiled cooperatively. “Alright, I’ll be waiting for you to chase me…”
“What? Aunt’s here?”
Just as they were nearing the hospital, Xiao Yunrong picked up a call, her face lighting up with surprise.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Yunshen asked.
“My aunt is here.”
After her brief explanation, Ye Yunshen gained some understanding of her aunt. Although she called her ‘aunt,’ the woman wasn’t much older than Xiao Yunrong. The two were more like sisters.
That was thanks to the Old Dragon King’s strong vitality. Even after Xiao Yunrong’s father had become an adult, he still fathered another daughter, resulting in Xiao Yunrong’s “bonus aunt.”
“You know my aunt too!” Xiao Yunrong said suddenly.
Ye Yunshen wasn’t interested in anyone’s family background—until she said that.
He knew her aunt?
Could she be some sort of public figure?
…
Inside the hospital.
In the room, aside from the sleeping Old Dragon King and Xiao Yunrong’s uncle Xiao Hechuan, there was a woman sitting beside the bed.
She looked to be in her early thirties, had a full figure, and an elegant presence. Sitting down, her fitted qipao accentuated every curve of her body—ample chest, slender waist, generous hips.
She was like a perfectly ripe apple—you didn’t even need to look; just the fragrance in the air was enough to make hearts stir.
At that moment, Xiao Hechuan leaned over and whispered something into the woman’s ear.
Her expression changed abruptly, brows sharply raised. “Is that true?”
“Yes, Jinglan. It was just dumb luck that he managed to save Father, and now Father insists on calling him the ‘lucky star of the Xiao family’ and wants to marry Yunrong to him!”
As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Xiao Hechuan’s eyes.
So this was it—Ye Yunshen reviving the Old Dragon King had disrupted many people’s plans. Xiao Hechuan was clearly one of them.
He was adamantly against the idea of marrying Xiao Yunrong off to Ye Yunshen.
“You sure you’re not being selfish, Second Brother?” the woman suddenly said coldly.
“Huh?”
Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Hechuan’s forehead as he quickly replied, “M-Me? How would I dare? I just don’t want to see Father and Yunrong being fooled!”
“Hmph. I know exactly what’s going on.”
The woman remained unmoved and snorted coldly. “If he really is as deceitful and useless as you say, then I won’t spare him. But if he actually has real ability, then the Xiao family won’t treat him unfairly either.”
“Maybe… he could even help us break the curse that has haunted the Xiao family for over ten years!”
Her words left Xiao Hechuan stunned. “What? That guy’s just a fraud! How could he solve it? Even real geomancers and mystics have been helpless. That formation has no solution!”
Soon after, Ye Yunshen and Xiao Yunrong arrived.
Ye Yunshen instantly noticed the woman in the room—not because of her aura, but because he genuinely recognized her.
Xiao Jinglan—the Financial Queen!
A legendary figure in the world of finance! Even the richest tycoons had been turned down when trying to invite her to dinner!
Right—she was also Shen Qingqiu’s ultimate idol!
The one Shen Qingqiu dreamed of becoming!
And this woman was actually Xiao Yunrong’s aunt?
The Xiao family really was full of talent…
“Jinglan, didn’t I tell you? That guy’s just a show-off. First thing he did when he entered was stare straight at your body…” Xiao Hechuan whispered again to Xiao Jinglan.
Xiao Jinglan didn’t respond, but when she saw Ye Yunshen walk in and stare directly at her, she instinctively frowned.
“Ah, Xiao Ye, you’re here?” Just then, the Old Dragon King woke up and cheerfully introduced, “Come, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Jinglan—also Yunrong’s aunt!”
Xiao Jinglan stood up with elegance and walked gracefully toward Ye Yunshen. She looked him over and said, “Ye Yunshen, right? You do have a handsome face—but that alone won’t cut it. Show us your real skills.”
That was clearly a warning: tricks and flattery wouldn’t work here.
You might get lucky once, but what about twice, three times, ten times?
But Ye Yunshen raised an eyebrow—not because of her attitude, but because, now that he was close, he noticed something shocking.
Xiao Jinglan’s forehead was dark—there was a sign of an impending blood disaster!
