Huo Chengyu had indeed always resented this marriage, and he had said that she was the most suitable person for the position of Young Mistress Huo.
He pressed his lips together and removed his white coat to reveal his gray turtleneck sweater beneath. "Are you sure you want a divorce?"
He had always known Shen Yan to be a woman of virtue who knew her place and how to act appropriately. She also had a good temper and was gentle to everyone. She had never embarrassed the Huo Family in front of outsiders.
When she mentioned a divorce previously, he only thought that she was joking or throwing a tantrum.
"I said, I can give you anything you want except my true feelings. Shen Yan, don't be unreasonable."
Shen Yan was a little angered but she still had an elegant smile on her face. "I can get what I want on my own, I don't need you to give it to me."
'Since he can't give me his true feelings, why should we force it? Jinyi is right, it's time I start living for myself.'
With that thought, Shen Yan took the initiative to flip to the page of the signature segment of the divorce agreement and placed a pen in front of him.
She smiled a little with a warm and tender gaze. Even her voice was warm and gentle too. "Mr. Huo, we have a long life ahead of us each. Why don't we let each other off? When we got married you told me before that we can get a divorce whenever either of us wants to. Now that I want a divorce, I hope that you can grant my request."
Huo Chengyu's gaze was cold as he stared at Shen Yan's face in a bid to see some melancholy in them but there wasn't any.
He frowned but nevertheless grabbed the pen. This time, he signed the papers without the slightest hesitation.
However, when he put the pen down, he suddenly felt really empty.
Shen Yan finally heaved a sigh of relief and carefully placed the divorce agreement into the document case before standing up to bow to Huo Chengyu. "Congratulations, Mr. Huo, you've become single again. I've already packed my things. As for the other things that I didn't take with me, you may dispose of them if they're an eyesore. I hope that you can find a woman to marry soon and have a happy marriage. Let's never meet again."
"Sister-in-law..." Huo Qingyuan stood up in a moment of panic. "Sister-in-law, you..."
"Qingyuan, if you don't mind, just call me sister Shen Yan like you used to when you were a child. You and Jinyi are always welcome to visit me."
After saying that, Shen Yan went upstairs, and soon, she was seen carrying a red suitcase down.
The suitcase was extremely small and it could barely fit any clothes.
Shen Yan stood at the stairs, looking at the familiar surroundings and living room downstairs. She took a deep breath and smiled again. "I'll get going. If you need me to explain to Grandpa, just contact me."
When Shen Yan's figure completely disappeared from sight, Huo Qingyuan stomped her foot and glared at Huo Chengyu. "Big Brother, did you really just sign the papers?"
Huo Chengyu didn't seem to have been affected by the matter. He pressed his lips together and stood up. "There's indeed no point in prolonging a marriage that was built on the basis of business interests and not loves."
Yan Jinyi and Huo Xishen had just finished eating and were getting ready to return to their place of accommodation at the moment.
"What's the matter?" Yan Jinyi said in annoyance when she saw the incoming call.
Huo Qingyuan had called her five times in a day. 'Is she in love with me or what?'
"Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, bad news. Big Brother and Shen Yan are getting divorced!" Huo Qingyuan exclaimed.
Yan Jinyi glanced at Huo Xishen who was beside her and stifled a yawn as she stretched her arm. "Oh."
'Oh? Second Sister-in-law is so calm about this?'
'Isn't Shen Yan her favorite person in the family?'
"Second Sister-in-law, I said, Big Brother and Shen Yan have gotten divorced. They're really divorced, and she has moved out too!"
'We've lost a sister-in-law!'
