After her ex-husband became a Hong Kong entertainment circle tycoon, he put his arm around her waist

A melodious piano tune filled the restaurant, as refreshing as a gentle breeze.

However, Nan Shu was not in the mood to appreciate the music at all. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her fingers tapped the table absently.

About twenty minutes later, Chen Jingyan rushed over.

Standing at the door of the private room, looking at Nan Shu sitting not far away, Chen Jingyan's heart immediately started pounding.

Nan Shu saw Chen Jingyan standing at the door and immediately stood up to greet him.

"Brother Jingyan, come in and sit down."

Chen Jingyan nodded, then quickly walked into the private room.

His expression was somewhat tense, completely different from his usual calm and composed demeanor.

Nan Shu was also surprised to see Chen Jingyan like this.

However, Nan Shu didn't say anything more, but handed a menu to Chen Jingyan.

"I've already ordered a few dishes, all of which are your favorites. See if there's anything else you'd like to order."

Chen Jingyan took the menu and ordered a few more dishes, all of which were Nan Shu's favorites.

Nan Shu saw this and was deeply moved, but for a moment she didn't know how to speak.

Nan Shu looked at the red wine in front of her, poured a glass for Chen Jingyan, and then raised her glass to him.

"Brother Jingyan, I've always been grateful for your kindness to me and Um over the years. I've wanted to find an opportunity to thank you, but it always seems like I'm missing the right one."

"Today, I raise a glass to you; I will remember your help for the rest of my life."

After saying this, Nan Shu raised her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that Nan Shu had finished the wine in her glass, Chen Jingyan was startled and quickly snatched the glass from her hand.

"What's wrong with you today? Even if you want to drink, you can't drink like this; you'll get drunk easily."

Nan Shu smiled and shook her head, taking the wine glass back.

"Jingyan, will you have a drink with me?"

Seeing the expectation in Nan Shu's eyes, Chen Jingyan's heart stirred. He nodded, picked up the wine glass beside him, and drank it all in one gulp, just like Nan Shu had done earlier.

After downing a glass of wine, Nan Shu suddenly felt much bolder.

She looked at Chen Jingyan in front of her, considered for a moment, and spoke earnestly.

"Jingyan, there's something I've been wanting to tell you."

"What?"

Chen Jingyan looked up at Nan Shu, his eyes already showing a hint of drunkenness.

"Let's get a divorce, Jingyan."

Nan Shu's words struck Chen Jingyan like a thunderbolt, instantly bringing him to his senses, and his gaze fell upon Nan Shu.

"What did you say?"

I said, let's get a divorce.

Since Nan Shu has already made her decision, there is no way she can go back on it.

Chen Jingyan suddenly stood up, looking at Nan Shu in disbelief.

"Nan Shu, have you forgotten? I promised to take care of you and En En for the rest of my life. Are you asking me to break my promise now?"

Nan Shu was surprised by Chen Jingyan's words and quickly shook her head.

"Of course not, I just don't want to bother you anymore. You deserve someone who truly loves you, not someone like me who has a child and still has another man in her heart."

Chen Jingyan looked devastated, clutching his chest as he looked at Nan Shu, his voice tinged with pain.

"Nan Shu, you know I don't care about any of that."

"Back when you and Qi Yuye divorced, I was happy that I could help you, not only because you had helped me before, but also because I..."

Chen Jingyan paused, as if considering how to say it.

A moment later, Chen Jingyan raised his head firmly.

"Also because I like you, not the kind of liking a brother has for his sister, but the liking a man has for a woman, Nan Shu, I like you."

Nan Shu was stunned by Chen Jingyan's sudden confession. She looked at Chen Jingyan in disbelief.

She knew Chen Jingyan had feelings for her, but she never expected him to confess his love.

But she came here today with the intention of getting a divorce, and even if Chen Jingyan confessed his feelings, she knew she wouldn't accept it.

"Jingyan, I'm sorry."

Nan Shu lowered her eyes, avoiding Chen Jingyan's eager gaze.

Seeing Nan Shu's evasiveness, Chen Jingyan felt a pang of sadness.

"Nan Shu, I will not divorce you. This is the only right and proper way for me to stand by your side."

"Please forgive my selfishness. You know, that's what it's like to love someone. I can't live without you."

"Could you move back in when you have some free time? I can take good care of you and Um, and we can be like before. Um must miss me too."

Chen Jingyan flatly rejected Nan Shu's suggestion of divorce and then changed the subject.

Nan Shu knew Chen Jingyan very well; she knew that once Chen Jingyan made a decision, there was absolutely no room for change.

Thinking of this, Nan Shu could only continue along with Chen Jingyan's words, trying her best to avoid making Chen Jingyan angry.

Seeing that Nan Shu no longer mentioned divorce, Chen Jingyan gradually lowered his guard.

The food was served, but neither of them had much of an appetite.

Chen Jingyan drank one glass of wine after another. Apart from the first glass, which Nan Shu had persuaded him to drink, he drank the rest on his own initiative.

Lin Xi was very worried as she watched Chen Jingyan's face gradually turn red.

If Jingyan keeps drinking like this, he might develop some problems.

"Jingyan, please stop drinking."

Nan Shu tried to snatch the wine glass from Chen Jingyan's hand.

Chen Jingyan switched the wine glass to his other hand, his tone tinged with sadness.

"Don't stop me, I just want to have a drink today. Let's drink until we're drunk, okay?"

After saying that, he downed another large glass of wine in one gulp.

After finishing the glass of wine, Chen Jingyan wanted to drink more, but his vision was blurry and he felt dizzy, so he couldn't see the wine glass at all.

The next moment, Chen Jingyan collapsed onto the table, completely drunk.

Seeing this, Nan Shu felt a pang of anxiety and quickly went over to pat Chen Jingyan's arm.

"Jingyan, are you alright?"

Chen Jingyan did not respond at all.

Nan Shu sat back down with a troubled expression and took out a pre-printed divorce agreement from her bag.

She couldn't keep delaying Chen Jingyan like this. Before Chen Jingyan fell so deeply in love with her, she had to break up with him as soon as possible. It would be better for both of them.

Looking at the contents and then at the unconscious Chen Jingyan, Nan Shu suddenly had a thought.

She took out an inkpad from her bag, first pressed her fingerprint on the divorce agreement, and then pressed Chen Jingyan's fingerprint on top of it.

After looking at the divorce agreement with the fingerprints already on it, Nan Shu nodded, thinking that this method was feasible. She immediately took out a pen from her bag.

Nan Shu placed the pen in Chen Jingyan's hand, held his hand with both of hers, and carefully signed Chen Jingyan's name on the divorce agreement.

Just as the last stroke was about to be completed, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Nan Shu, don't leave me..."
