Lin Xiangwan finally found a rollerball pen from a box and unscrewed the pen cap with his uninjured hand.
I directly turned to the last page of the divorce agreement and looked at the blank space where I was supposed to sign, feeling slightly startled.
Life is like chess, you have no regrets when you make a move.
It's really ridiculous. When she watched Ye Nan participate in the Go competition last month, she said this to the parents who were watching their children playing chess. She didn't expect...
Just as I was about to put pen to paper, my phone rang.
Lin Xiangwan picked up the phone and looked at the name on it, her brows slowly coming together.
"Mom! We are in the square of St. Paul's Cathedral, did you hear the bells?" Ye Nan's excited voice came through the phone signal that was thousands of miles away. As his words fell, a sound came from the receiver.
Rich bell sound.
This church, which was established as early as 604 and has been baptized by the flames of World War I and World War II, uses bells to say farewell and memory.
Lin Xiangwan listened quietly. She could imagine that Ye Nan must have raised the arm holding the mobile phone high at this moment and stood on tiptoes, so that the bell could reach her ears more clearly.
"Thank you baby, I heard you."
"It's such a pity that you and dad can't come together. Is dad at home? Oh, he must be at work at this time. Mom, Chu Hao and I went to the London Eye yesterday..." Ye Nan was still reporting excitedly over there.
During the trip, Lin Xiangwan had to cover her mouth with her hands for fear that her sobs would leak out.
"Mom? Are you still there?" Ye Nan asked sensitively as if she was conscious.
Lin Xiangwan forced herself to smile, "Of course, it seems you are having a great time. How long do you plan to stay in the UK?"
During this period, Chu Di always left early and came back late. Lin Xiangwan was busy taking care of the children and had no chance to communicate with him. It happened that Shen Shijun had an international exchange conference in the Commonwealth, and Ye Nan and Chu Hao were on summer vacation.
Lin Xiangwan asked him to bring these two oil bottles, hoping that he and Chu Di would spend more time together, but unexpectedly...
Fortunately, Shen Shijun took away the two eldest children, otherwise Lin Xiangwan would not know how to explain to them.
That's it for Chu Hao... Ye Nan... If he knew what Chu Di had done, given his personality, he would never forgive him!
"Maybe stay for another two weeks. My godfather said that he will be busy for a while. It was Aunt Mo who took us to visit. Wow, mom, she knows a lot about history. She doesn't recognize every piece of art in the British Museum.
.You don’t know that when we visited the museum, the tourists who were with the tour group stopped listening to the tour guide and all gathered around to listen to her."
The Aunt Mo in Ye Nan's mouth was none other than Moro Luo.
The three sisters of the Mo family are known as little experts in stealing museums all over the world. The British Museum is just like their backyard, so of course they are very familiar with it.
"Ye Nan...there's something..." Lin Xiangwan spoke with difficulty. When the words came to her lips, she couldn't continue.
"What's up?"
"It's nothing... just have fun. It doesn't matter if you play for a while longer. Haven't you always wanted to go to South Korea to challenge their youth championship? There's still one month before school starts. Do you want me to help you make arrangements?"
Ye Nan usually only goes to school and learns chess, and has no opportunities for entertainment. Lin Xiangwan doesn't want to ruin his rare vacation.
After hearing her words, Ye Nan smiled and said, "Actually, you want to spend more time alone with dad."
Since having An An, Ye Nan's temperament has become much more cheerful, and she is no longer the little grown-up person she used to be, always frowning.
He would occasionally joke with Lin Xiangwan like this. Lin Xiangwan would mostly pretend to be angry and tell him to stay out of adults' affairs. But this time, Ye Nan waited for a long time, but only waited until Lin Xiangwan said, "
I still have something to tell Shen Shijun, so I won’t talk to you anymore. You guys, Chu Hao, just have fun."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Nan raised his head, his gaze far deeper than his age. Chu Hao came over curiously, "What did mom say? Why aren't you allowed to talk to her?"
"Chu Hao, something is wrong with her. I have an uncomfortable feeling in my heart. Let's go back as soon as possible. I'm very worried about her."
Before he called Lin Xiangwan, he also called Chu Di several times, but every time either no one answered, or the secretary said he was busy. Ye Nan believed it at first, but now it seems that things are far worse than him.
It was much more serious than imagined.
What happened to the two of them? Did they have a fight? Or was something more serious going on?
Ye Nan clenched her phone and frowned tightly. He matured earlier than his peers and thought more.
He knew Lin Xiangwan better than anyone else. She seemed invincible, and in fact she was indeed very strong, but like all brave and tenacious creatures, she had an extremely fragile weakness.
Chu Di is her weakness.
As long as it has something to do with Chu Di, no matter how small it is, it is a big deal to Lin Xiangwan.
Only Chu Di could influence her deeply. She thought she was hiding it well, but Ye Nan could already hear the anxiety and uncontrollable sadness in her words.
What happened?!
Lin Xiangwan put her phone on silent and picked up the pen again.
This time, without any hesitation or interference, she signed her name on the last page of the document.
The ink gradually dried up, but Lin Xiangwan never let go of the pen in his hand.
She thought she was numb from the pain and would not hurt anymore. But after writing these three words, she felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body and she could not move. The air around her seemed to have been sucked away and she could no longer breathe.
Like Ling Chi.
This man has been in her blood, but now she really wants to uproot him, strip him of his bones, and leave no trace of his flesh behind.
"Mommy..." her daughter's crying voice came from the next room. Lin Xiangwan's heart tightened, and she stood up unsteadily holding on to the box.
"Baby, mommy is here."
An'an was just one and a half years old and she didn't understand anything yet, but she was already sensitive to the changes in her family. Moving to a new room made her very uneasy. She would often wake up in her sleep and cry incessantly.
Lin Xiangwan held her daughter's small body, patted her back gently, and comforted her.
She said to herself, Lin Xiangwan, you can do it. No matter who you lose, you can live well. You have to live well, even if it is for the children, you have to hold on.
But...why is my heart constantly falling, unable to reach the bottom no matter what?
It's like falling into an endless black hole of despair.

Originally, she wanted Zhong Yue to hand over the divorce agreement to Chu Di, but Zhong Yue flew out of town temporarily for something. Lin Xiangwan thought about it again and again, and didn't want to delay it any longer, so she decided to send the agreement to Chu Di's company herself.
The girl at the front desk knew Lin Xiangwan and didn't know what was going on between her and Chu Di. She warmly took her to Chu Di's office without waiting for Lin Xiangwan to refuse.
Chu Di was in a meeting, and Lin Xiangwan stood stiffly in the empty office, looking pale.
Every inch of this room made her feel sick, and even breathing the air that belonged here made her chest hurt.
"Click." There was a soft sound from the door.
Lin Xiangwan turned around and found the woman who was entangled with Chu Di that night. She opened the door and walked in.
"Are you waiting for Mr. Chu?" The woman closed the door.
She passed by Lin Xiangwan and glanced directly at Lin Xiangwan twice. Then, with a contemptuous sneer on her lips, she walked to Chu Di's desk, put her hands on it, and sat on the desk.
She wore a light cyan suit that fit perfectly. The top of the suit had a large opening, revealing two piles of snow-white peaks. The skirt tightly wrapped around her hips. As she moved, the skirt jumped up.
, two white thighs, intertwined like snakes.
"Young Master Chu? What kind of young master is he? When I first met him, he didn't even know how to use Western tableware." Lin Xiangwan didn't care at all about the woman's dazzling smile, she said softly.
"So what if he was down and out? I only know that he is on the Forbes list now. Just like you." The woman pointed at Lin Xiangwan with her fingers covered with dandelion, "When you married him,
Have you ever thought that one day you will be replaced by me, Hu Shasha?"
Hu Shasha raised her chin high and her pride was palpable.
"Replacement?" Lin Xiangwan smiled softly, "When you can really become Chu Di's wife, use this word again. Just climb into his bed, the 100-dollar lady on the street, everyone
It can all be done.”
"you!"
Hearing Lin Xiangwan compare herself to the young lady standing on the street, Hu Shasha immediately turned red.
I originally wanted to pretend to be a lady, but I couldn't do it.
"Who are you calling Miss?!" She jumped down from the table and rushed towards Lin Xiangwan menacingly.
She was only focused on making Lin Xiangwan look good, and forgot that she was wearing nearly 14cm high heels. She didn't take a steady step and threw herself forward.
After all, Lin Xiangwan was a doctor. Even if he hated this woman, he would not save her. If she fell, she would not suffer a concussion, but a bruised nose and face would inevitably be inevitable.
Lin Xiangwan subconsciously reached out her hand to help her.
Unexpectedly, Hu Shasha grabbed her wrist and pulled hard, forcing Lin Xiangwan to fall to the ground.
There was a sharp pain in her elbow. Lin Xiangwan used it as a cushion. She pushed Hu Shasha aside with great effort. Before she could stand up, she heard a man's low-pressure voice coming from the door.
"What are you doing?"
"Young Master Chu, it was she who pushed me down. Look, her arm was broken." Hu Shasha quickly got up and delicately asked Chu Di to look at the red mark on the back of her hand.
Chu Di took a cursory glance and turned his attention back to Lin Xiangwan, "Lin Xiangwan, you really opened my eyes when you were chatting with people in the office!"
"I didn't touch her at all!" Lin Xiangwan gently stroked her elbow, but the pain did not subside at all. "She fell down by herself, and she even pulled me up!"
