Chapter 487: Don’t You Want To Acknowledge This Marriage?
Shen Yan subconsciously pulled down the hem of her shirt with a presentable smile on her face. “Do you have two minutes to spare?”
Huo Chengyu ignored her and continued walking forward. Shen Yan didn’t dare to hesitate any longer and quickly said, “Chengyu, let’s get divorced.”
Huo Chengyu finally stopped walking and looked at her straight in the eye. With a slight frown of displeasure, he said, “Shen Yan, don’t be nonsensical.”
‘Nonsensical?’
Shen Yan smiled bitterly and said, “I’m not being nonsensical. I know you don’t want to acknowledge our marriage and if we continue dragging this on, it’ll be exhausting for the both of us.”
She really used to have countless fantasies about the life she would lead after marrying him.
She now realized that they were nothing but fantasies.
She envied Jianyi for her carefree and spontaneous character.
Huo Chengyu had a gloomy gaze and a sullen expression on his face. “I’m very busy, I don’t have time to waste with you. Don’t say such things again in the future, Grandpa won’t be happy to hear them.”
After saying that, he continued to go upstairs.
Shen Yan bit her lower lip, thinking to herself that she probably wasn’t of much use to him. Seeing that Huo Chengyu was about to disappear from the stairwell, Shen Yan couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”
Huo Chengyu stopped and turned to look at her. “What do you mean why?”
“Your junior is back and…there’s nothing holding you and me together. Why won’t you agree to the divorce?”
Shen Yan had an ever-present elegant smile on her face and being born with a golden spoon in her mouth, she had always held herself with grace and composure.
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Chengyu said indifferently, “The Huo Family needs a Young Mistress like you.”
‘Is that the only reason?’
When Yan Jinyi and Huo Qingyuan arrived home, they saw Shen Yan sitting on the sofa in a daze.
She didn’t look well and seemed to have not noticed their presence.
Yan Jinyi glanced at Huo Qingyuan and ordered, “You, go upstairs and study.”
She then smiled immediately and stepped forward to sit down beside Shen Yan. “My dear sister-in-law, do you miss me after a few hours of being away from me?”
Shen Yan was slightly startled but she quickly smiled and looked at Yan Jinyi. “You’re home. Have you had dinner?”
“No, the shops on the street aren’t open. Even the noodle store is closed,” Yan Jinyi griped with a frown. “Is Huo Chengyu home yet?”
“Yes.” Shen Yan hesitated before saying, “Jinyi, I just told him that I want a divorce.”
Yan Jinyi grinned widely right away. “That’s great, I’ll have a chance once you become single again.”
Shen Yan chided, “Don’t talk nonsense. He opposed against it, claiming that the Huo Family needs a Young Mistress like me.”
Hah…
‘That’s what men are like, they insist on tying women down and keeping them by their side even if they don’t have feelings for them.’
‘Who spoiled Huo Chengyu to such an extent? If Doggy Huo learns from him and does the same thing, I’ll definitely castrate him!’
Yan Jinyi hadn’t realized that she had begun to subconsciously and habitually compare all men to Huo Xishen.
“It’s fine, you can appeal for a divorce after two years of separation. Shen Yan, just start living separately from Huo Chengyu from today onwards.”
Shen Yan shook her head and said, “Jinyi, you don’t understand, our two families are in a business alliance that’s held together by our marriage. Grandpa may not live with us but he has eyes everywhere. Unless Chengyu agrees to the divorce, I won’t be able to file for one myself.”
Yan Jinyi was baffled. “Huh?”
‘Doesn’t that mean that Huo Chengyu is my greatest obstruction?’
“It’s okay,” Yan Jinyi said, rolling up her sleeves. “I’ll beat him up until he agrees to it.”
“Jinyi…you’re Xishen’s wife and Second Young Mistress Huo after all. You’d better pay more attention to your image, don’t keep threatening to beat others up all the time. The wives of other wealthy men are going to gossip about you if they ever find out.”
