After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

Lu Peichuan snapped out of his reverie. "It's nothing, just telling me not to focus too much on work and neglect my family."

Lu Yunshan was also taken aback upon hearing this, clearly surprised, but then smiled with satisfaction, "It's rare for your older brother to care about you. You should get closer to him in the future, and ask him for advice if you have any questions about business."

Lu Peichuan nodded.

After resting for a while, Lu Yunshan took the printed divorce agreement and went downstairs.

Rong Zheng carefully reviewed the contents of the agreement from beginning to end against the electronic file that Luo Qinghe had given her, especially the section on daughter custody. She proofread it very carefully and found that there were no changes. Only then did she feel relieved.

After she finished proofreading, the lawyer arrived.

The lawyer reviewed the agreement, confirmed it was in order, and both parties signed it.

As Rong Zheng watched Lu Peichuan sign his name, the tension in her heart eased. Although she didn't know how Lu Yunshan had persuaded Lu Peichuan, the result was what she wanted, and that was enough.

We left the old house.

Lu Peichuan looked at Rong Zheng, "Let's go home together."

They just signed the divorce papers; they have no home anymore.

Just as Rong Zheng was about to refuse, Lu Peichuan seemed to see through her thoughts, "As long as we haven't gotten a divorce certificate, we are legally married."

Rong Zheng didn't want to argue with him about this, so she simply said, "I'll ride in Uncle Chen's car." Then she turned to leave.

Lu Peichuan pulled her back, "We used to always go back to the old house together every time we came. Now you and I are going back separately. What will Uncle Chen think? Don't forget what you promised Grandpa: before we get our marriage certificate, not a single word of our divorce can be leaked."

"Uncle Chen knows we've been arguing these past few days, so he won't overthink it." Rong Zheng finished speaking, pulled her hand away, and walked towards Uncle Chen's car.

Lu Peichuan watched Rong Zheng's indifferent back, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

Rong Zheng is currently very resistant to him. To change her mind, we cannot use forceful methods, but only a gentle approach to gradually dispel her wariness.

On the way, Rong Zheng sent a message to Xu Ma, telling her to put the things she had packed back in their place, pretend she didn't know anything about the divorce, and not to mention it again.

Separation would definitely cause outsiders to overthink things. Since she had agreed to cooperate with Lu Yunshan for a month, she would endure it for another month. After a month, once she got the divorce certificate, she would move out.

That evening, Rong Zheng moved all her toiletries into the children's room, planning to stay with her daughter for the entire month.

Lu Peichuan followed.

Rong Zheng immediately became alert. "What are you doing here?"

Lu Peichuan frowned as he saw the resistance in Rong Zheng's eyes. "You don't need to be so wary of me. Since I've already signed, I'll keep my word. I just came to see Tangtang."

After saying that, he walked to the crib, bent down, and prepared to hug Tangtang.

Rong Zheng immediately went over to stop her, "Tangtang just had surgery, and the doctor said to keep her lying down as much as possible."

Lu Peichuan sat down beside the bed and took out a small toy to tease his daughter.

Rong Zheng went to the restroom to organize her belongings. Just as she finished, she heard Lu Peichuan's excited shout, "Zhengzheng, come quick! Tangtang is smiling!"

Upon hearing this, Rong Zheng quickly left the bathroom and went to the children's bed. Sure enough, she saw her daughter grinning and giggling. Her innocent and cheerful voice seemed to instantly dispel the awkwardness between them.

"Tangtang's smile is like yours." Lu Peichuan looked at Rong Zheng with tender eyes.

Rong Zheng felt the man's gaze, her smile froze, and then vanished in the next instant.

Lu Peichuan sighed, "Zhengzheng, even if we really get divorced, the fact that I am Tangtang's father will never change. I have the right to visitation, and we will have time together as a family. Do you have to be so unhappy every time?"

Rong Zheng was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Lu Peichuan to think so far ahead. It seemed that he had accepted the divorce from the bottom of his heart.

In that sense, she was being narrow-minded, because visitation rights and time with one's children are indeed things she cannot take away.

"I understand, I'll try to be more careful in the future."

The next day, Rong Zheng deliberately got up early to have breakfast with Lu Peichuan, so that she wouldn't be unable to find him after he left.

At the dinner table, Rong Zheng asked Lu Peichuan, "When are you free today? Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together to file for divorce."

Lu Peichuan said while eating, "I have a meeting in the morning, an appointment with a client at nine o'clock, and a lunch party at noon. There is a half-hour break from ten to ten-thirty, during which I can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Lu Peichuan's cooperation surprised Rong Zheng slightly.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Peichuan asked, "What's wrong? Did you have something to do at that time?"

Rong Zheng shook her head, "Then I'll wait for you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at ten o'clock."

"it is good."

At ten o'clock, Rong Zheng waited for Lu Peichuan at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He arrived after about ten minutes.

The two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together to fill out a divorce application.

As Rong Zheng was leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lu Peichuan called out to her, "Could you do me a favor?"

"What kind of help?"

"The day after tomorrow is my eldest brother's grandmother's 80th birthday. The birthday gift I ordered for Madam Song has arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, but I'm too busy to pick it up. Could you help me make the trip?"

If he hadn't mentioned it, Rong Zheng would have almost forgotten about it. As Lu Peichuan's wife, she certainly couldn't be absent from such a grand birthday banquet hosted by Old Madam Song.

"it is good."

Lu Peichuan handed a slip to Rong Zheng, "The money has already been paid. You can take this slip to pick up your things."

"Um."

"I have something to do at the company, so I'll be leaving now."

"it is good."

Rong Zheng watched Lu Peichuan get into the car and leave, thinking that if they could continue to treat each other with such respect, this month-long cooling-off period for divorce wouldn't be so difficult to endure.

Rong Zheng came to the Treasure Pavilion to pick up the goods, which was a jade bracelet with a solid green color, worth eight million. The Lu family was willing to spend a lot of money.

After inspecting the goods, Rong Zheng asked the sales clerk, "Excuse me, which floor is your men's section on?"

"Third floor."

Rong Zheng thanked him and went up to the third floor. She wanted to buy a gift for Song Shiyan.

If he hadn't reminded her this time, her blood type test might have been wrong, Tangtang's background would definitely have been misunderstood, and her innocence would have been in jeopardy.

He also saved her and her daughter's lives during her previous severe hemorrhage, and he gave her such expensive gifts for their first meeting and full moon celebration.

She had wanted to thank him for a long time, but hadn't had the right opportunity. This time, when she went to Beijing to celebrate Madam Song's birthday, she wanted to take the opportunity to give him a small gift to express her gratitude.

Finally, she chose a dark black tie clip studded with small diamonds.

She noticed that Song Shiyan seemed to like wearing dark-colored clothes, so this color tie clip would look good with him. However, it was really expensive; such a small item cost as much as half a year's salary for her.

But compared to the help Song Shiyan had given her, it was nothing.

Rong Zheng gritted her teeth and bought it. She was getting a divorce and couldn't possibly spend Lu Peichuan's money; she used her own savings.
