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

Fang Qing was cooking when he heard the question. His voice sounded apologetic. "I'm sorry, Dai Kui, I forgot to tell you. Last time, President Zhou asked Ji Yanmin to help President Fu with her divorce case. He also drafted the divorce agreement for President Fu. President Zhou, it seems he doesn't want to... divorce you..."

What?

Xu Daikui didn't believe it.

Zhou Yanci couldn't wait to divorce her and marry Xu Jiaojiao.

There must be other reasons why he's dragging his feet on leaving.

But it's absolutely impossible that he didn't want to.

"Okay, I got it. He'll be starting work at the company tomorrow, right?"

She wanted to talk to him in person and get the divorce certificate as soon as possible.

"Yes, he usually works overtime at the company on weekends too."

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, she composed herself before carrying the groceries into the house.

I saw that Xu Meng had already woken up and was sitting on the balcony painting.

The afterglow of the sunlight bathed her small figure, making her feel warm.

Looking at her, Xu Daikui's mood finally improved completely.

...

The next morning, after preparing breakfast for Xu Meng and watching her finish eating before going to paint, she applied a little makeup, put on a bright red sweater and a nude-colored skirt, and went to the Zhou Group.

She didn't originally like bright red, but Xu Jiaojiao did.

But five years ago, when she married Zhou Yanci, she was overjoyed. That day, she specially bought a bright red shirt, dressed up happily, and went to get their marriage certificate.

Now that the relationship that had haunted her for ten years was finally coming to an end, she wanted to dress in a festive way for this day.

Welcoming new students.

Zhou Yanci will never be a part of her life again; she wants to say goodbye with dignity.

Upon arriving at the Zhou Group building, my cell phone suddenly rang; it was a landline.

"Hello, is this Madam? Mr. Zhou wants you to come to the company to sign the agreement."

The sweet female voice, Xu Daikui remembered, belonged to Zhou Yanci's secretary in his office.

Sign the agreement?

It seems that Li Xuelan must have gone to see Zhou Yanci as well, since she contacted her yesterday.

Zhou Yanci wanted to get a decisive and clean divorce today.

That suited her perfectly.

Before the female secretary could say anything more, she heard the other end excitedly say, "I'll be there right away," and then the call ended.

Because Zhou Yanci's secretary had given prior notice, she arrived at the president's office without any problems this time.

Entering the clean and bright room, Zhou Yanci lowered his head and was writing something with a pen.

He has fair skin, well-defined features, and delicate facial features.

He looked focused and handsome while working, but she had no interest in admiring him anymore.

"Sit and wait a while."

Noticing her approach, Zhou Yanci didn't even look up and gave the order.

Xu Daikui had no choice but to sit on the stool opposite him.

Because she knew she would inevitably see the man whenever she looked up, she simply looked down at her phone.

About five minutes later, Zhou Yanci looked up.

Seeing the woman's serene face, warmed by her vibrant red dress, he smiled slightly.

That smile vanished in an instant.

"Here, sign this."

Upon hearing the man's calm and pleasant voice, Xu Daikui immediately looked up in surprise.

When she received the agreement and saw the words "Transfer Agreement" written on it, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

However, signing a prenuptial agreement seems to be part of the divorce process.

She glanced through it casually; the gist of it was that she had been transferred to be the owner of the property in Yushui Bay.

Without further hesitation, she picked up the pen and quickly signed her name.

Then he handed it to Zhou Yanci, saying, "It's done."

Zhou Yanci said calmly, "You can keep it. The house is already yours."

She no longer has to live in those dilapidated buildings that could collapse at any moment.

The reason he transferred the house directly to her name this time was because she didn't want her own money and wouldn't live in the Zhou family's house, so this was the only way he could do it.

Oh, that makes sense.

"What about the divorce agreement?"

Xu Daikui didn't notice any other papers in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

"What divorce agreement?"

"Just you and me..."

Zhou Yanci disliked hearing those words from her, so he coldly interrupted her, "The house is already yours. I'm busy, you can leave!"

Xu Daikui remained silent.

She stood up instinctively. "Zhou Yanci, you called me here today just to sign the property transfer agreement?"

"Otherwise what?"

Zhou Yanci's face was icy cold.

When he looked at her, his expression was chilling enough to freeze a person to death.

Xu Daikui choked for a long time before she finally reacted, "No, I came to talk to you..."

"Xu Daikui, can't you understand what I'm saying?"

"go out!"

Her words were interrupted again by the man's cold voice, and he shooed her away with disgust.

"I...."

"You're not leaving, are you?"

"I have another meeting. If you like staying here, that's fine with you."

Without giving Xu Daikui a chance to speak, the man picked up his phone, coldly rolled up his coat, and left the office.

By the time she realized what was happening, the secretary had already entered.

"Madam, would you like me to make you a cup of coffee?"

She used to think that Xu Jiaojiao was the perfect match for President Zhou, but this morning Fang Qing repeatedly emphasized this to her and even told her to call Xu Daikui. Only then did she realize that she had been blind and had mistaken a fish eye for a pearl.

This seemingly gentle and quiet young woman is actually Mr. Zhou's first wife.

She still knows who to please, her mistress or her official partner.

"Need not."

Xu Daikui's face turned deathly pale, and her mood sank to the bottom.

He picked up the transfer agreement from the table, turned around and walked out the door blankly, where he bumped into Fang Qing in the corridor.

Seeing that she was holding the property agreement, which she had obviously already signed, Fang Qing comforted her, "Yushui Bay is a good location, and the feng shui there is very auspicious. Anyway, it's yours now, and President Zhou won't just barge in. You can move in as soon as possible."

Xu Daikui wasn't in the mood to listen to anything else, and only asked, "Where's Zhou Yanci?"

What exactly does he mean?

"He just said he's going to Haishi on a business trip, and his return date is yet to be determined."

Xu Daikui was puzzled.

She looked at Fang Qing and said, "Zhou Yanci never intended to get a divorce, did he? What is he really planning? I brought up divorce with him, and he just left in a huff?"

Fang Qing was also a bit confused, but then he thought of something else and said, "Mr. Zhou's brother, Mr. Fu, his wife is going through a divorce with him. She's filed for divorce twice already, and the court is currently in the second instance. The situation was quite embarrassing, and it's all over the business circle. Last time, Mr. Zhou had someone hire a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement, all for his sake. Perhaps, men care about their reputation, especially with Mr. Fu's example as a precedent, Mr. Zhou is probably afraid that if you bring up divorce at this critical juncture, it will make him lose face too..."

So that's how it is?

A prodigy like him shouldn't be someone else's place to be ignored, right?

She got it.

After leaving the company, she went to the hospital and printed out a divorce agreement.
