In the bathroom, where the mist filled the air, Lu Jiandeep was taking a bath.

Nanxi, her face blushing red at the thought of their activities the night before, rose from the bed, clutching her quilt.

Even though they were already husband and wife, she would still feel embarrassed each time after their sweet moments.

The sound of running water stopped, and Lu Jiandeep, wrapped in a towel, stepped out.

She handed him his clothes: "Breakfast is ready. I'll wait for you downstairs."

"Hmm."

Down the stairs, Nanxi carefully took out a cake from the fridge, putting it in the center of the dining table.

She held an ultrasound report in her hand. Because of nervousness, her heart was pounding.

Today was their two-year wedding anniversary and Nanxi wanted to tell him about her pregnancy. The thought of it made her feel both anxious and excited.

Lu Jiandeep arrived downstairs, dressed in a custom-made black suit that accentuated his elegant charm and stunning good looks.

After breakfast, Nanxi held the medical report tightly, took a deep breath, and nervously said, "Jiandeep, I have something to tell you."

"Good. I also have something to tell you."

"Then you go first."

Lu Jiandeep rose, taking out a document from a drawer, and slowly handed it to Nanxi with his long fingers.

"This is a divorce agreement. Please take a look when you have time."

Nanxi was caught off guard, desperately controlling herself to prevent from falling.

She took a deep breath, the air that filled her mouth felt like a knife cutting painfully.

He mentioned a divorce agreement?

Her mind went blank for a while. After a while, Nanxi found her voice and asked him in confusion,

"Are you divorcing me?"

"Mmm."

His voice was very soft and shallow.

Nanxi was holding the pregnancy test report, was about to ask him, is there no room for compromise?

What if we have a baby?

Would you reconsider?

The next moment, his voice came: "Qinglian is back, I want to end our marriage ahead of schedule. Initially, we agreed to limit it to three years, but now the situation has changed, let's end it a year in advance."

"I know it's a bit of a rush, this is a drafted agreement, you can have a look, any requirements you might have, as long as they're not too excessive, I will accommodate you."

Nanxi, with her mind still drawing a blank, responded: "Okay, I'll look at it later."

She put her hand behind her, the pregnancy test report in her hand was tightly clenched, producing layers of delicate sweat.

She knew, there was no need to reveal it anymore.

"I have another favor to ask of you," said Lu Jienshen.

Nanxi pinched her hands tightly, made an effort to lift her head and smiled at him: "Sure, tell me, as long as I can help."

"About the divorce, you should bring it up with grandfather, he will not agree if I propose it."

"Okay, I understand."

She was originally an ordinary girl, and her family was extremely ordinary, with a mother who was a nurse and a father who was a gambler.

This kind of family, no matter how they tried, could never be worthy of the Lu family.

The turning point was that Lu Jienshen's grandfather and father were schemed against by business rivals and had a car accident that caused their heart disease.

Her mother happened to pass by and kindly saved the two old men.

Years later, her mother was diagnosed with cancer and passed away. Her father was still a gambler and, fearing for her well-being, her mother contacted the Lu family years later, asking them to take care of her daughter.

Lu's grandfather made the decision directly. As soon as she graduated, he arranged for her to marry Lu Jienshen.

Back then, Lu Jienshen said, "I can marry you, but my heart belongs to someone else. Our marriage will last for three years, and after three years, you should propose the divorce to grandpa, and we can each go our way."

She forced back her bitterness and suppressed all her affection.

With a calm and unperturbed response, she told him, "I know. I too have someone in my heart. When the marriage period ends, I will keep my promise and leave voluntarily."

After marriage, he fulfilled all the responsibilities of a husband;

He loved her, pampered her, protected her. He was truly good to her.

Everyone around knew, she was Lu Jianshen’s apple of his eye, his cherished treasure. If she was upset, heaven could turn to hell in an instant. Everyone envied her for marrying a good man, a good husband.

However, only Nanxi knew that their marriage was not based on love, it was a mere contract.

All the good things this man did for her had nothing to do with love. It was only the fulfillment of a duty. If there was any bit of love, it was only towards her body, almost an infatuated care.

It was originally meant to be for three years, but the woman he treasured in his heart has returned now, it was time for her to step aside.

Nanxi bent down and picked up the "Divorce Agreement" from the table.

She had no appetite left and was going to head back to her room when Lu Jianshen pulled at his tie in some distress and stopped her.

"When you propose a divorce, Grandpa will definitely ask for the reason, wasn't there someone you said you had liked for many years when we got married? Now I will let you go free, you can find him, and pursue your own happiness. Even if Grandpa disagrees, he can't refuse this reason."

Nanxi nodded, "Yes, I will tell Grandpa that."

Having said this, she couldn't wait to leave. If she stayed any longer, she feared she might regret it. She might tell him: Lu Jianshen, I don't want a divorce.

Lu Jianshen suddenly reached out, and fearing he would discover the document in her hands, Nanxi stepped back abruptly.

Lu Jianshen looked increasingly worried. He insisted on holding her hand, "You look pale. Are you feeling unwell?"

"I’m fine." Nanxi hurriedly shrugged his hand off.

"For a couple married for two years, do you think I can’t tell when you're lying?" Lu Jianshen had a deep gaze.

Finally, Nanxi admitted, "It's nothing serious, just that my period has come."

"Take good rest later."

After saying this, Lu Jienshen suddenly noticed her tightly clenched right hand, asking in a low voice, "What are you holding so tight in your hand?"

Nanxi immediately discarded it into the trash bin like a hot potato and forced a smile, "It's nothing, just some trash. I forgot to throw it away."

He wouldn't know how deep her heart is hurting.

As if someone had taken an axe and brutally split her heart into two, overwhelmingly bloodied, flesh and blood blending.

Each petal still bleeding, she held that shattered heart in her grip and was in unbearable pain.

"Jienshen, Lu Jienshen..." Nanxi murmured to herself: "Just like that, a good couple scattered."

When she first married him, it was almost with a sense of desperation.

And now, her departure was all too haphazard and desolate.

"Nanxi, poor girl, you lost in the end. He doesn't love you, not even a bit.

Seeing her body a bit weak, staggered steps, Lu Jienshen didn't hesitate and lifted her up.

Nanxi was utterly astounded, quickly saying, "Let me go, I can make it home myself."

"You're too weak right now, stop trying to be strong."

Lu Jienshen's gentle and enchanting, sensual and deep voice echoed in her ears.

Precisely this voice, she had listened for two whole years, was obsessed with for two years, yet now he abruptly decided to depart.

Nanxi blinked, and in the end, she could not resist the urge to cry.

Lu Jianshen teased her: "You're not a little girl anymore, and you're crying because of your period? Stop crying, I'll get a doctor to examine you later."

"I didn't cry," Nanxi stubbornly said.

What a fool, a stupid pig.

He had no idea what she was crying about.

"Alright, alright. If you say you didn't cry then you didn't," Lu Jianshen compromised.

"Can you tell me who he is?" He suddenly asked out of the blue.

"Who?" Nanxi was surprised.

"Didn't you mention there's a man you've loved for many years? I am curious to know who is so lucky to have occupied your thoughts all these years," Lu Jianshen said.
