Lin Lanlan quickly learned about Ji Chu’s departure from the company chat group. Seeing the online news, she smiled and switched to her second account, using the hashtag #ShenShutongMistress# to continue exposing the truth: Shen Shutong used to like hooking up with people in college. The boys at school were completely captivated by her, but her boyfriend loved her so much that he foolishly forgave her every time. Now, her true colors are finally revealed! This time, she’s cheating! Her husband would be a fool not to divorce her!
Shutong went to the supermarket. When she returned home, she saw a man sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, like a plague god.
She silently put down the two bags in her hands. The eco-friendly bags left two deep red marks on the palms of her hands, making her palms numb and her arms sore.
She rubbed her hands together, leaning toward the sofa, and whispered, “Ji Chu, you’re back…”
“We haven’t divorced yet, so why can’t I go back?” Ji Chu asked coldly, but he didn’t look at her directly.
Shutong saw a few beads of sweat on his forehead. She guessed that he had just returned not long ago.
Perhaps he was irritated by the information Qu Yiming sent him, so he came back to quarrel with her?
Thinking of this, Shutong’s disgust toward Qu Yiming became even deeper. It was originally a mess between the two of them, but he insisted on involving Ji Chu!
“Of course, you can go back.”
Shutong turned on the air conditioner in the living room, but the cold wind blowing out from the blinds failed to dispel the anxiety in the air.
Shutong spread out her hands, “Ji Chu, my hands hurt so much.”
Ji Chu was about to raise his hand, but the next second, he restrained his impulse.
Normally, he would have pulled her into his arms, kissed her hand, and massaged her gently. But now…
No matter how much she acted coquettishly and showed weakness, Ji Chu would not be soft-hearted.
“You’ll get used to it in the future.”
He raised his eyelids, his dark eyes scanning her. His voice was flat.
Shutong: “…”
She put her hand down, sat down beside him, and asked him, “Then what are you doing back here?”
Ji Chu took out a piece of paper and put it on the coffee table. “This agreement, signed.”
[Host’s destiny modification progress: 4%!]
The system then reminded her: [Host, sign it, and the progress will continue to rise.]
Shutong lowered her eyes and glanced at the five words ‘Divorce Agreement’ on it. Her raven-feather eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she turned her head away.
“I won’t sign it. I don’t want to be kicked out of the house!”
In fact, she didn’t want to divorce at all. She’d been thinking of delaying it for a while, then trying to win him back…
Who knew that Ji Chu was so irritated by that trash Qu Yiming today that he actually took the initiative to approach her to agree on a divorce!
System: [Host, please be more clear-headed. Divorcing Ji Chu will, to some extent, separate him from the main plot and prevent him from repeating the same mistakes and becoming cannon fodder.]
“That’s because you don’t understand Ji Chu.”
Regardless of whether they divorced or not, Ji Chu would always be hostile to Qu Yiming because of her.
The most direct way to prevent Ji Chu from participating in the plot was for her to sever ties with the hero and heroine first.
“You knew I’d kicked you out without even seeing it. Have you done something wrong?” Ji Chu’s voice was low and suppressed, and every word seemed to hit Shutong’s heart heavily.
Shutong didn’t dare to meet his dark eyes, as it made her feel uncomfortable.
“Ji Chu, wait for me a little longer.”
After Shutong said this, she felt that she was too shameless.
Ji Chu’s face darkened even further, as if her answer had stung him.
“Wait for you? Wait for you to get involved in someone else’s relationship and win over Qu Yiming? Do you know that in their eyes, you’re just a joke?”
After saying the last sentence, Ji Chu’s gaze lingered on Shutong’s face, his gaze as sharp as a physical one, making people feel uneasy.
Shutong felt helpless and raised her hands to swear, “I’ve never liked Qu Yiming, and I won’t go after him. Truly.”
Of course, Ji Chu might not believe it because she had been too flattering to Qu Yiming before.
In reality, she couldn’t detect a single trace of emotion in Ji Chu’s cold, tense, and handsome face.
“It has nothing to do with me.”
Ji Chu pushed the agreement back in front of Shutong, his black eyes becoming even darker.
The agreement did indeed require her to leave the house empty-handed. With nothing, how could she possibly be licking that scumbag?
She should wake up.
His eyes were still fixed on Shutong, as if he hoped to see something from her face.
Ding dong—
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Shutong ran to open the door.
“Zheng Yin!”
The man standing at the door was tall and slender, with a wolf-tail hairstyle that made him look a bit wild, but his face was clean and handsome, and his expression was full of aloofness and pride.
Zheng Yin was Shutong’s classmate at university, but they rarely interacted.
“Shen Shutong, it’s really hard to find you.” Zheng Yin said expressionlessly and then glanced in Ji Chu’s direction.
Shutong was a little confused, “Why are you looking for me?”
She had always been popular, but she was used to staying in her own little circle, so after graduation, she rarely contacted anyone.
But she knew that most of her classmates had started their own original clothing studios and were thriving in the e-commerce industry. Zheng Yin was even more impressive, leveraging his family’s connections to thrive in the fashion industry and even reportedly planning to study abroad.
However, she, an outstanding graduate, became unemployed and was now being cyberbullied.
What she was wondering was why Zheng Yin came to see her.
But Zheng Yin didn’t answer her. Instead, he asked, “Are you getting a divorce?”
These words left the air silent for a few seconds.
Shutong heard familiar footsteps behind her. Ji Chu was already standing behind her, and his sinister voice almost sounded in her ears.
“So, it’s not Qu Yiming. It’s him.”
Zheng Yin sneered, “What are you doing? If you want a divorce, do it now.”
Shutong: “?”
Was her memory wrong?
What was going on with this sudden Shura scene?
