She rose to her feet and asked him indifferently, “Is there anything else? If not, I’ll head upstairs to rest.”
His eyes were dark and deep as he shook his head, “Nothing else.”
Jian Yufei turned and walked up the stairs. Upon returning to the bedroom, she took a bath. When she emerged from the bathroom, she saw him sitting on the bed, a pure white cigarette pinched between his fingers.
Ruan Tianling stubbed the cigarette out in the ashtray and retrieved a check from his suit pocket, presenting it to her, “This is twenty million. Tell your grandpa about our plans to divorce. After the divorce, I’ll give you another thirty million.”
Jian Yufei’s gaze fell on the check.
In her life, she had never seen so much money.
She didn’t reach out to take it, but instead sat down on the other side of the bed.
“Does grandpa have to agree to the divorce?” she asked him.
She could never understand why, as long as her grandfather opposed it, he dropped the idea of divorce. Was he not always arrogant, dismissing everyone else?
If he was determined to divorce, should he fear her grandfather’s objection?
Ruan Tianling narrowed his eyes but didn’t answer her, “Don’t ask what you’re not supposed to; all you need to do is cooperate with me and divorce me.”
Jian Yufei couldn’t help but recall the words he had told her the day before their engagement.
A sarcastic smile curved her lips, “If I had known we were going to end up here, I wouldn’t have agreed to be engaged or marry you.”
Ruan Tianling was slightly taken aback, clearly recalling the events that unfolded during that period as well.
In his memory, she was shy back then, speaking softly, blushing at an accidental glance from him.
But now, she was getting colder and colder, not showing an ounce of affection for him.
He understood, her change was because of him, he had made her what she was now.
“Keep the cheque. Once we are divorced, you will be free to do whatever you want.” He leaned over, pushing the cheque into her hand.
Jian Yufei threw it back to him. She tossed it, as if she disliked his offering.
“I don’t want your money. What I want you to understand is, the end of this marriage is not due to you not wanting me, but rather me not wanting you. I actively chose to not want you, so I will not take your money.”
Ruan Tianling was instantly annoyed, yet found it a bit amusing.
“Should I be the one giving you money then?” He retorted, immediately regretting his question.
Jian Yufei looked at him with her crystal-clear eyes, asking earnestly, “How much do you want in order to divorce me?”
This was simply asking for humiliation!
Ruan Tianling darkened his expression, picked up the cheque, and then headed for the bathroom.
Jian Yufei also found it a bit funny. She couldn’t help but curve her lips before trying hard to suppress the smile.
After lying in bed for a while, Ruan Tianling left the bathroom. He laid down beside her, turning his back to her, a safe distance maintained between them.
Jian Yufei also turned her back to him. She lay there with her eyes open, unable to fall asleep.
In her previous life and this one, they were always husband and wife. Maybe she owed him from some past life, and she was repaying him through two lifetimes of marriage.
However, it is not easy to become a married couple, but their marital relationship had truly reached its end.
It was already late, Jian Yufei was still wide awake. The man beside her had already fallen asleep, his soft breathing in the quiet darkness seemed particularly noticeable.
Even in sleep, his presence was potent.
