Shen Zhiyi took out her ID card and prepared documents from her bag and handed them to Xu Zhesheng: "After you're done, I need to rush back to continue editing, so don't waste any time."

Xu Zhesheng stared at her with his dark eyes, as if trying to see into her heart.

But she stared intently at him, and neither her eyes nor her expression betrayed any sign of anything amiss.

Only by being proactive in signing contracts.

"We...aren't getting a divorce?" he asked tentatively.

These past few days, he has carefully considered what Ai Junyu said.

Yes, she loved him so much. She was the apple of her family's eye and didn't have to do anything at home. If she hadn't married him, she could have gone abroad to study editing. But for him, she was willing to give up such a great opportunity, live with him in a rented apartment, and even secretly get married. A girl who never lifted a finger learned to do housework like laundry and cooking for him. She even received offers from famous directors to act in movies, but she refused them all, content to be his behind-the-scenes partner.

If this isn't love, then Xu Zhesheng can't think of anything else that can be called love.

Over the years, her only mistake was not being able to have children, but now that problem has been resolved. He knows that she is capable of having Su Manman's child; it's just that he used the wrong method to make her angry.

Ai Junyu is right. Although the divorce agreement has been signed, they haven't officially gone through the formalities yet. She's giving him a chance.

This time, he had really thought it through.

He had secretly transferred his assets after listening to his mother's slander. But now that he thought about it, if Shen Zhiyi really wanted his money, why would she have married him when he was penniless?

She was obedient, sensible, and always considerate of him. Although Su Manman was also very good, he had noticed when they went out to eat together last time that she was more spoiled and harder to manage than Shen Zhiyi. If he were to marry a wife, he would prefer someone like Shen Zhiyi.

He didn't want to cause any more trouble in the future.

After much thought, Shen Zhiyi realized that all she cared about now was money. He had it, so what difference would it make if she received it?

Since they are married, what he gave her is marital property, and as long as they don't divorce, she won't lose a single penny.

He brought her here today hoping to rekindle the love in her heart through memories of the past and the promise of a bright future.

How could two people who have been together for so many years just break up like that?

Thinking of this, Xu Zhesheng's expression softened even more. "Zhizhi, I promise that from now on I will only be devoted to you and there will never be another incident like Su Manman's."

In the past, Shen Zhiyi would have been genuinely moved by his sweet words.

But now, having detached herself from those useless feelings of love and hate, she realized that from beginning to end, Xu Zhesheng had only been thinking about himself.

She forced a smile, but there was no trace of it in her eyes: "Of course... we'll get a divorce."

"I want this house too. As for the rest, once you've prepared the property details, we'll proceed with the divorce proceedings."

She subtly curled her lips and brought up the details of her assets again.

"Even after all this, you still won't give in?"

Looking at her ambiguous smile, Xu Zhesheng felt a little guilty. Could it be that she knew?

His gentle smile cracked, his eyes filled with malice, and he subtly changed the subject: "I don't mind that you've accomplished nothing all these years, not even being able to have a child. I'm willing to support you and give you the title of Mrs. Xu, yet you insist on making a scene? Do you really think I can't live without you?"

Again.

Shen Zhiyi knew that he had always been like this.

If you go along with him and give in to him as usual, only thinking of what's best for him, he will feel that he deserves it.

But if you don't go along with him, he'll think you're ungrateful.

It would be impossible for Shen Zhiyi to have no emotions at all when listening to Xu Zhesheng's words.

She felt wronged on behalf of her past self.

The person you cherished so wholeheartedly turned around and bit you.

Even someone who owns a dog would feel aggrieved.

She lowered her eyes, concealing the turmoil in her heart, before raising her head and saying firmly, "Then why don't you just leave?"

"You! Shen Zhiyi! Do you have to be so arrogant?!"

"Would you only feel at ease if Manman aborted the child?!"

Xu Zhesheng's expression changed for a moment after being choked by her words, and his voice involuntarily rose by half a notch.

The commotion attracted the attention of Xu Jing and Shen Ji on the other side.

The two people rushed over. "What's wrong? What happened? What are you arguing about?"

Shen Ji, still admiring the house, walked over and gave Shen Zhiyi a sidelong glance. He didn't say anything, but he had already said his piece.

Xu Jing, being more observant of people's expressions, noticed Xu Zhesheng's displeasure and stepped forward to soothe him, saying, "Zhesheng, did Zhizhi say something that upset you again?"

"Don't be afraid, Mom will back you up today. She was spoiled by us when she was young and has a bad temper. We'll settle things properly later."

Then she turned to Shen Zhiyi and said, "Zhiyi, today is a good day. Can't the two of you discuss things together?"

"Zhe has already been good enough to you, don't push your luck!"

As he spoke, he winked at her.

Shen Zhiyi knew what her mother meant; she just wanted her to appease Xu Zhesheng so that she could still be Mrs. Xu in the future.

But she really doesn't need it.

She wore a white dress today, and her alluring face looked less aggressive. The wind blew in, and the hem of her dress fluttered freely at her sides.

She stood there, her posture upright, a faint smile on her lips. "Mom and Dad, I've made my decision."

There is no room for negotiation.

Her parents should know her very well; she's as stubborn as an ox, and once she makes up her mind, no one can pull her back.

This was true when she married Hsu Che-sheng, and it's true now that they're divorced.

"He and I must get a divorce."

After she finished speaking firmly, she waved to the agent who had been waiting beside her, handed him the prepared documents, and said with a smile, "Could you please help us with the formalities?"

The agent happily accepted it. Although it was just a transfer procedure, the transfer fees for such a large house were quite high, and he could make a considerable profit.

He then looked at Xu Zhesheng and said, "Mr. Xu, could you please provide us with your information?"

Xu Zhesheng tightened his grip on his side. He didn't like to show his emotions in front of outsiders, but now, he couldn't control himself.

"Shen Zhiyi! You're being ridiculous!"

Before Xu Zhesheng could react, Shen Ji's expression changed. He quickly stepped forward and slapped Shen Zhiyi across the face.

With a deafening "bang," the sound was deafening.

A burning pain shot through her face. Shen Zhiyi looked at her father in disbelief. He had never hit her before.

Shen Ji was also anxious. Meeting his daughter's gaze, he felt a little guilty, but remembering her words, he retorted angrily, "What are you looking at! I've spoiled you since you were little, and now you're completely lawless!"

"Even Ah Zhe didn't complain about your inability to have children, so what right do you have to make a fuss?"

"Divorce?! Let me tell you, Shen Zhiyi, your mother and I absolutely disagree!"
