After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

After leaving Yushui Bay, Xu Daikui took a taxi directly to the law firm she had visited before.

I reprinted the drafted divorce agreement and also printed out a share transfer agreement.

Tomorrow is the Zhou Group's annual meeting.

If Zhou Yanci doesn't sign this divorce agreement soon, she will most likely resort to self-harm tomorrow.

She was exhausted by Zhou Yanci and this marriage, and now all she wanted was to get away from him as soon as possible.

This ten-year relationship ultimately turned her into a resentful woman filled with bitterness.

All she wants now is relief.

After picking Mengmeng up from school that evening, she briefly told her that she would be going to the annual meeting with Zhou Yan the next day.

After art class ends at noon, she will ask Xie Jia to pick her up.

Mengmeng knew that the annual meeting would be the time for her divorce, and she was very happy.

Zhou Yanci, that fickle man, doesn't deserve to appear in her and her mother's world anymore. Let him and Xu Jiaojiao be locked in a dead end for the rest of their lives.

After the divorce, she and her mother would have to leave him, preferably move away from the city, but she couldn't bear to part with Shen Jun...

If Mom misses out on Uncle Shen, who is so handsome and gentle, she doesn't know if she'll ever meet someone good again.

Xu Daikui saw her fluttering her eyelashes as she looked at her, and naturally she couldn't guess what was going on in her little head.

I simply masked my true feelings and smiled as I coaxed her to sleep.

After coaxing Xu Meng to sleep, all her sorrows surfaced.

That night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep at all, and stayed awake until dawn.

The next day, she got up very early.

Zhou Yanci said that he would only sign the papers if he attended the annual meeting with him that day.

But she completely enraged the man yesterday. I wonder if he will keep his promise today?

It's also possible that he'll bring Xu Jiaojiao to the company's annual meeting today?

That would be for the best, since she didn't want to play along with him anymore anyway.

Lost in thought, she finished washing up, opened WeChat, and was about to browse current events when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Who could it be at this time?

She walked over in surprise and, through the peephole, saw Zhou Yanci's cold face.

What is he doing here?

Didn't you tell her to get lost?

"Open the door."

Noticing a pair of eyes watching him from the doorway, Zhou Yanci knocked on the door again with his knuckles, his voice deep and magnetic, his emotions unreadable.

What are you doing here?

Xu Daikui did not open the door, but only frowned and asked.

"If you don't open it, I'll keep knocking."

Zhou Yanci threatened and knocked twice more.

Xu Daikui was afraid of disturbing the neighbors so early in the morning, so she opened the door anyway.

She was wearing white pajamas, her hair was casually tied in a bun, and she had no makeup on. Her fair and radiant skin made her look even younger and more beautiful.

Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and Zhou Yanci found it quite pleasing to the eye.

"Let me in to talk."

He looked down at her.

Xu Daikui guessed that he had probably come for the annual meeting, so she bent down and handed him the men's slippers, "Wear these."

"I don't wear shoes that other men have worn."

Zhou Yanci said arrogantly, taking off his shoes and going into the house barefoot.

Xu Daikui remained silent.

Only Fang Qing and Shen Jun wore these slippers, and even then, not many times.

After Zhou Yanci went inside, he looked around but did not find Shen Jun, which inexplicably improved his mood.

"Is there a dress code for the company's annual party? I don't have any formal attire at home."

Xu Daikui walked straight up to him and said calmly.

"Okay, I'll take you out to buy it."

Zhou Yanci came for this very reason.

"Okay. Wait for me, I'll go inside and change my clothes."

Xu Daikui didn't stand on ceremony with him anymore. Since she was just playing along with him, she had no reason to spend her own money on a dress.

After Xu Daikui entered the bedroom, Zhou Yanci saw Xu Meng come out wearing purple Kuromi pajamas.

Her face was fair and round, and she was looking at me with her brows furrowed.

She looked exactly like Xu Daikui.

If he hadn't left on their wedding night five years ago, he and Xu Daikui would probably have a child this big by now.

"Mengmeng, is Uncle taking you out to play today?"

Xu Meng didn't want to talk to him, pretending not to hear him. She simply walked to the farthest end of the sofa and sat down, then turned on the TV.

Zhou Yanci wouldn't hold a grudge against a child, but the more she acted like she disliked him, the more he wanted to get closer to her.

Because she and Xu Daikui look so alike, even their angry expressions are exactly the same.

If she could disown Shen Jun as her father, he would consider treating her well in the future.

He stood up, walked over and sat down next to her, forcing a smile. "Why haven't you been drawing lately?"

Kuiyao Star has not received any works from Xu Mengxin recently.

Zhou Yanci's magnified handsome face came into view, blocking her television screen, and Xu Meng simply couldn't ignore him.

Her big eyes darted around as she looked at him.

She then raised her hand and made a cross sign gesture to indicate that she refused to communicate with him.

Zhou Yanci chuckled, "Quite a temper."

Xu Meng looked at him smiling, and felt even angrier. She immediately took out her notebook and wrote down a sentence.

Uncle, could you please stop coming to see Mom? Mom and I don't welcome you.

Zhou Yanci used to get angry when he saw this sentence, but now he has accepted it.

"No, your mother is my wife, and I am your father."

Xu Meng paused for a moment when she heard "Dad".

Zhou Yanci probably doesn't know that she is his biological daughter, but he's not bothered by this at all. Does he still want to be her father?

Does he really love his mother?

That's probably impossible.

He's about to get engaged to another woman; they look so good together in the news. She and her mother are considered illegitimate in the Zhou family, and she's not going to be fooled by his words.

I only acknowledge Mr. Shen.

She finished speaking decisively and then got up and went into the bedroom.

Half an hour later, the mother and daughter came out after changing their clothes, and Zhou Yanci sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

"Let's go."

Xu Daikui glanced at him indifferently, then took Xu Meng's hand and left.

Zhou Yanci walked all the way to the car, still feeling a bit bewildered. Shen Jun didn't actually live here?

In the car.

Xu Daikui sat in the back row and watched the man give her a reminder.

"Just put Mengmeng in the Dream Seeking Art Studio."

Zhou Yanci said, "Let's go together."

Today's annual meeting is a grand event of the century, and it was organized by the Zhou family with an investment of several million. It's a good opportunity for Mengmeng to broaden her horizons.

Xu Daikui thought that she was bound to divorce Zhou Yanci today, and that the scene might end up being very embarrassing. It wouldn't be appropriate to bring Mengmeng along.

"No."

Before Zhou Yanci could say anything more, Xu Daikui interrupted, "She has a quiz in the art studio today and can't get leave."

Faced with such an irrefutable reason, Zhou Yanci had no choice but to give up.

After sending Mengmeng there, Zhou Yanci took Xu Daikui to a high-end private custom dress shop.

Pick one yourself.

Zhou Yanci led her to a place where hundreds of limited-edition dresses were displayed.

Xu Daikui was a little dazzled by the sights. She hadn't attended many large banquets, and she didn't know what the theme or atmosphere of this year's annual meeting would be, or what color dress would be suitable to match.

Moreover, they were about to get divorced, so she didn't really want to care about these details; she just wanted everything to be done according to his standards.

She looked at him and said, "You have experience, so you pick one out. Just something that matches your suit."

Zhou Yanci never expected that she, a stubborn little brat who always insisted on everything, would be so obedient and submissive at times.

He smiled and nodded, glanced around, and then asked the waiter to bring him a pale yellow off-the-shoulder dress.

He knew she liked sunflowers and the color yellow.

Moreover, wearing such a bright dress makes her look warm and charming, like a little sunflower.
