"Divorce?" Anya looked at her incredulously, as if she was trying to confirm if the woman drinking at the bar was really Xu Xinyi, "So, did Yi Yang really cheat?"
Xu Xinyi drank a bottle of RIO cocktail, feeling dejected and choked up, "None of that matters now. What matters is, he says he wants a divorce."
Since she first learned about Xu Xinyi and Yi Yang's marriage, Anya had always felt that these two wouldn't last long and would eventually divorce.
Xinyou Xu clearly saw the grievances she suffered in this marriage.
Normally so arrogant and domineering, but in matters of love, he was confused and acted low-key, never stopping until he reaches the end of the road.
Hearing the news of the divorce, she really wanted to drag Xinyou Xu into a private room to order two MBs and celebrate with champagne.
"Don't be confused about this kind of thing. A man who is unfaithful once is not worth a hundred times. Infidelity is absolutely unforgivable, do you understand?"
"But..."
Anya was furious at the words, "Don't tell me you still love him! This dog of a man, Yiyang, is not worth your love. Listen to me, when you get divorced, I'll introduce you to the hundred fresh meat guys in my WeChat, much better-looking than Yiyang's icy face."
"A hundred?" Xinyou Xu was wide-eyed and speechless.
She knew Anya had a wide net of interests and changed boyfriends like clothes, but she had never thought there would be more than a hundred.
Xinyou Xu looked at her with envy.
"Xinyou, you know, for me, even though I am an agent, I only have you as a star, and I am not even one ten-thousandth as profitable or well-known as you. But look at me, I can easily attract so many men with just a gesture, let alone you. You can rest assured, when you get divorced, you will definitely regret it, regret why you didn't leave sooner."
"In a world full of temptations, you are sticking with a Yiyang, I feel sorry for those men."
"So, do you want to try or not?"
Who wouldn't want to? Xinyou Xu burst into tears.
------------
Half an hour later, the two discreetly left the bar. Anya took Xinyou Xu to the bottom of the Mingchen apartment building and raised her phone, "My little puppy has asked me out. Call me after the divorce, do not disturb us until then, thank you."
With that, she drove away.
Watching the stylish departure of Anya, Xinyou Xu let out an envious sigh.
Both are women, but she is really too miserable compared to Anya!
But fortunately, this miserable life will come to an end tonight.
With a joyful heart, Xinyou Xu went upstairs. Yiyang had not arrived, so she sat quietly in the living room, waiting.
"A hundred fresh meats, is Anya deceiving me? Does she really know a hundred fresh meat guys?"
Tick-tock went the clock. Xinyou Xu was immersed in the joy of divorce and completely unaware of the footsteps behind her.
"In fact, it's completely unnecessary. The fat water does not flow to outsiders. The male group just promoted by the company not long ago is quite good. Each one is nearly six feet tall, with that figure and face... it's really amazing. After the divorce, I have to find an opportunity to get to know them."
Thinking of this, Xinyou Xu couldn't help but show a smile of anticipation.
Who wouldn't like the clean and handsome, sunny and gentle, domineering and considerate boys?
Just thinking about it makes her feel...
"Xinyou Xu!"
The deafening voice rang in her ear, startling Xinyou Xu. She almost jumped off the sofa, and when she looked closely, she realized that Yiyang had returned at some point and was standing behind the sofa.
"You scared the hell out of me! Walking without making any sound, are you trying to frighten people?"
Yiyang walked around the sofa and sat opposite her, "I've been here for a while, and I didn't disturb you when I saw you lost in thought."
She glanced towards the door, where's the lawyer?
"Just you?"
Yiyang raised his eyebrows, "Who else?"
Well, it's true. The lawyer had already divided the property very clearly that day, so there was no need to have the lawyer make another trip for just Yi Yang's signature.
Yiyang sniffed the smell of alcohol in the air, "Have you been drinking?"
"A little bit," Xinyou Xu hung her head, composed her emotions, and cleared her throat, "Alright, just take it out, let's sign it and get it over with."
"Get it over with?"
"You can rest assured, I will keep it a secret from grandpa. In the eyes of those who know about our marriage, we are still a couple, not divorced. After grandpa gets well, we can slowly tell him about the divorce. How about that?"
Yiyang kept staring at her, not saying a word.
In fact, Yiyang's eyes were exceptionally good-looking, with dark, shining eyes that looked like peach blossoms. When he looked at you from afar, it seemed as if he was drunk, and you would always feel like he was gazing at you with deep affection.
But only Xinyou Xu knew that this man was inherently very cold. A single impatient word from him could make your mood plummet.
Xinyou Xu turned her head uneasily, avoiding eye contact with Yiyang, "After a day and a night, I've made up my mind. There's a saying that's right, once unfaithful, always unreliable. I can tolerate you not loving me, I can tolerate your indifference towards me, but I can't tolerate my husband having an affair outside. You can rest assured, I will keep your affair a secret, no third person will know about it."
She had a cold expression, a straight stare, a desolate look.
Yiyang looked at her for a while, then handed a file bag to Xinyou Xu.
"What's this?"
Is it a divorce agreement?
Under Yiyang's gaze, Xinyou Xu opened the file bag and took out what was inside.
"Rest assured, it's not a divorce agreement. I don't like to be scapegoated, nor do I like to be wrongly accused. It's not fair to judge me as having an affair based on a few photos. So I've gathered some evidence, take a look."
When Xinyou Xu heard that this was not a divorce agreement, she had no interest in looking at the contents of the file bag.
When she heard that it was evidence, she was even less eager to see it.
“There are a total of ten photos here, there were originally a few more, but I think these few are enough, you look carefully.”
Xu Xinyi, forced to do so, looked at the photos one by one.
One is a photo of Zuo Rong sitting next to Yi Yang.
One is a photo of Zuo Rong standing in the corridor, talking to Yi Yang.
One is a photo of Zuo Rong, after Yi Yang left, wearing the suit jacket draped over his arm.
There are seven more, of Zuo Rong negotiating with other men after Yi Yang left, and a series of three photos of the man draping the jacket over her.
Clearly, the evidence is conclusive.
"I looked up this Zuo Rong, it's interesting, a lot came out after this search. This Zuo Rong, acted with you on the same drama set, there's a report about you in an entertainment magazine, and there's also an interview with Zuo Rong, in the interview it feels like you two get along well, Xinyi, it's okay to make friends, but you have to be careful, not all friends are trustworthy."
... Xu Xinyi hesitated to speak.
"Host, you have no reason to divorce."
"I know!"
"In fact, Yi Yang looks better than those idol boys from boy bands."
"I have eyes, I can see, I know it!"
"How can you compare one Yi Yang to a hundred other boys?"
Is braised pork the only thing you want to eat every day? Can't you eat a hundred other dishes?
Xu Xinyi adjusts her mood, takes a deep breath, cautiously and with a hint of expectation, nervously asks, "So do you still want to divorce me?"
—"I am arrogant, selfish, possessive, suspicious, I doubted you like that just because of those photos last night, shouting at you like that, and you still don't want to divorce me?"
—"If you divorce me, you can find another gentle and virtuous woman, Qing Yan is great, such a wonderful girl, a postgraduate, a famous designer and print model, renowned! Only a girl like her is worthy of you!"
—"So hurry up and divorce me to pursue your own happiness!"
Yi Yang lowered his head, slowly turned the ring on his ring finger, and lightly laughed, "I didn't cheat, why should I divorce you?"
"You always wanted to divorce me, don't you like me?"
"That was before," Yi Yang looked at her, "I don't want to divorce you now."
Xu Xinyi felt her heart sink, "Why?"
"You used to not want to divorce me, right? Unhappy?"
"Happy... I'm very happy..." Xu Xinyi was so happy she almost cried, she sat next to Yi Yang, trembling, and hugged him, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have misunderstood you, I should have tried to trust you, I just knew, you must not have cheated!"
Xu Xinyi's heart shattered into pieces.
—"My boy group, my hundred idol boys, my kindergarten husband..."
Xu Xinyi remembered a line from the previous drama, very fitting.
—"I hold the world in my heart, alas, the empress is too strong, ladies, wait a little longer, I'll think of a way."
"..." Yi Yang was amused directly, thinking about another man before getting divorced, is he dead?
He deliberately whispered in Xu Xinyi's ear, "I didn't know before that people's hearts are treacherous, but now I understand, some things are not as simple as they seem, just like you, if it wasn't for that woman's deliberate scheming, I wouldn't have known how deeply you loved me."
Nauseating.
—"How can this bastard be so cheesy?"
Xu Xinyi's body was covered in goosebumps.
—"No, I can't just wait for death, I have to think of a solution..."
Xu Xinyi thought and couldn't come up with a good solution, she closed her eyes, pretended to cry, and held Yi Yang, "But I was arrogant before, I was tyrannical in the entertainment industry, I almost pushed a female star down the stairs, I... I also hate Qing Yan, I'm a woman too, I can see she's interested in you at a glance, I don't like to take a bath, don't like to wash my hair, don't like children... yes! Husband, I don't like children, I heard that giving birth is painful, I don't want to give birth, can we not have children in the future, okay?"
The Yi family has an imperial throne to inherit, even if Yi Yang agrees, his mother, father, and grandfather won't!
"We're still young, there's no rush for children," Yi Yang seemed to sigh, "Mom is right, feelings need time to develop, rest assured, in the future, I won't easily mention divorce."
Xu Xinyi was utterly despairing.
—"My empire, is gone."
