Wen Niannan looked at Gu Yansheng’s panicked expression, and suddenly smiled, “Gu Yansheng, are you pitying me?”

Gu Yansheng opened his mouth without saying anything. His eyes flickered slightly, keeping the stare at the knife.

“I’m sick and tired. I’m tired of going through it, let me go, please…I beg you…let me leave the Gu Family, okay? I just want to divorce now, I just want to get out of this cage, I’m really going to be driven crazy by this cage called marriage…”

“I’m…really going crazy…”

The knife went closer to the neck, leaving a scratch with blood on the neck. Gu Yansheng stopped breathing, his eyes full of panic.

“Wen Niannan!”

“Enough! Put the knife down! I agree, I agree to your divorce!” Lu Yun shouted in shock.

Gu Yansheng glanced at the knife in Wen Niannan’s hand, trying to restrain the emotions in his eyes. When he looked at his still shaking hand, he clenched his fists behind him.

Lu Yun sighed, looked at Gu Yansheng, and said slowly, “Go and sign the papers.”

Gu Yansheng paused after hearing her. He raised his gaze, looking at Wen Niannan, then walked to the table with heavy steps He picked up the pen and looked at the place where he should sign for a long time; the pen didn’t touch the paper for a long time.

Why are you hesitating? Isn’t it your dream to divorce Wen Niannan? Why… hesitate…

From behind came the restless voice of Shen Luoan, “Yan…Yansheng…”

He paused and looked at Shen Luoan, who was looking at him with red eyes while standing on the edge of the table. He stared straight at the necklace in Shen Luoan’s hand.

Sign it, you can get rid of Wen Niannan after signing, isn’t that what you wanted?

When Zhou Yuanfeng saw that Gu Yansheng had actually signed it, his face was full of irony. He grabbed Gu Yansheng by the collar, shouting, “Do you know what Shen Luoan had done? You hurt the only one who truly loved you for that kind of person, did you know it was Wen who risked his life to save you back then…”

“Yuanfeng…stop talking”

“There’s no point, it’s too late…”

Wen Niannan stepped forward, picked up the divorce papers, looked at the white paper in his hand, and smiled with relief. Carefully holding it in his hand, he turned to look at the people behind him.

“From this day on, I, Wen Niannan, and the Gu Family no longer have any connections. I hope that Mr. Gu and Mrs. Lu, you two can make the respective announcement to the public. That way when Mr. Gu and Shen Luoan appear in public again, it wouldn’t cause unnecessary troubles, implicating me.”

Gu Yansheng was stunned hearing his words. A series of emotions flashed in his eyes; he squeezed the pen in his hand abruptly.

Wen Niannan turned his head, looked deeply at Gu Yansheng, and said firmly, “Gu Yansheng, remember, I mentioned the divorce, but this marriage was abandoned by you first. I hope that no matter what happens from now on, you won’t show up in front of me, no matter what it is, no matter if you are mad or whatever, don’t bother me, I don’t want to see you never again…”

Gu Yansheng’s eyes flashed with a doubtful expression, only feeling Wen Niannan’s words were strange. Why would I ever come looking for you?

“I’d be more than glad to never see you again, why would I come to bother you?”

With a slight gleam of eyes, Wen Niannan looked away from him, turning his attention to Shen Luoan behind him, saying faintly, “…well, Gu Yansheng, remember what you said today, I hope you don’t regret it.”

Wen Niannan turned around and walked out the door. Lu Yun quickly chased out with him, and Zhou Yuanfeng glanced at Gu Yansheng, giving a sigh before also leaving.

Lu Yun looked at Wen Niannan wobbly body, going after him, she shouted, “Nian Nian, Nian Nian!”

Wen Niannan stopped but didn’t turn around.

“Nian Nian…Do you really want to break up with all the relations with the Gu Family? Have you ever considered the consequences?”

“I’m willing to bear all the consequences.”

“Do you just give up like this? Don’t you love him? Are you just willing to see that Shen Luoan take credit for what you did and marry Yansheng?”

“Love? It has been faded by his reiterated injuries.”

A glint flashed in Lu Yun’s eyes,  “Even if you don’t love him anymore, but the Gu Family and Lu Family have helped your father’s company over the years, so are you just repaying us like that?”

Wen Niannan suddenly turned around as soon as he heard her, staring at Lu Yun with empty eyes, he said, “Repay? Mom…did you really let me marry Gu Yansheng for my own good? What kind of gratefulness and ungratefulness are you talking about? Is it not the strong self-esteem of those of your great families who refuse to bow their heads to admit their debt to me?”

Lu Yun’s expression suddenly changed. She wasn’t expecting Wen Niannan to know everything. Her eyes flashed as she lowered her head to avoid his sight, and Zhou Yuanfeng behind her also showed a surprised expression.

“I saved him, and by saving him, I suffered a severe illness. So tell me, who should I find to repay me? I saved his life, saving the life of the heir of the Gu Family. Shouldn’t it be you who owes me?”

“It’s because you felt like you owe me, that’s why you wanted me to be part of this family. Even if you knew that Gu Yansheng hated me, knowing the clear result would be after I married him, but you still pretended not to know, going with my father without my knowledge, proactively mentioning marriage and company cooperation, while threatening me with my father as soon as I wanted to give up. Wasn’t that all as you planned?”

Wen Niannan raised his eyes to Lu Yun, whose eyes were red, and said softly, “Mom…I don’t owe anything from you anymore…wasn’t one life enough? Must I die to finally be free?”

“I”

…

Lu Yun took a step back with a sway, her face turned pale as a white sheet as she froze in place.

Zhou Yuanfeng held on to Lu Yun and sighed lightly, “Niannan, I know you have lost all faith this time, and that’s why you decided to leave. But why are you still reluctant to tell him that you were the one who saved him?”

“The reason why A Sheng trusts and values Shen Luoan so much is that he mistakenly thought that Shen Luoan saved him, but as long as you say it, it won’t be the same result as now, A Sheng will definitely…”

“Why do you want to say that?”

Zhou Yuanfeng looked at the expressionless Wen Niannan, “Wh…what?”

“Would it be useful to tell him that I was the one who saved him? That I am the owner of the necklace, telling him that Shen Luoan was an impostor, the fact that Shen Luoan was greedy for money and left him because he wanted mom’s money? That all these years he has been nothing but a liar?”

Wen Niannan looked up at Zhou Yuanfeng, saying indifferently, “Then what? Let Gu Yansheng know that I have become weak because I saved him, and then win his sympathy just to save this marriage?”

Zhou Yuanfeng was startled, not daring to speak.

“I don’t need his guilt! I don’t need a marriage in exchange for compassion and guilt! What I want is a divorce, to get away from here, I don’t want to talk to Gu Yansheng or the Gu Family again! I don’t care about anything anymore, I don’t want to stay at this house anymore!”

Wen Niannan’s body was trembling violently and almost couldn’t stay standing. His eyes were full of madness, “I want to watch Gu Yansheng be kept in the dark, I will watch him being tricked around as a fool, I want him to see for himself what kind of person the so-called perfect lover in his heart is, I hate him! This is what he owes me!”

Lu Yun had never thought that Wen Niannan would hate Gu Yansheng so much. For a moment, she was shocked, then she moved her gaze to Wen Niannan’s bleeding feet.

“Nian Nian, where did you go the last few days? Why did it become like this…who did this to you?”

A touch of fear flashed into Wen Niannan’s eyes as he heard it, “It was Sun Qi…”

When Lu Yun heard Sun Qi’s name, her eyes trembled. She had already guessed what had happened. Her face became pale while covering her mouth as her voice trembled, “Him again…”

“Yeah, why is it him again? Perhaps it was also a good thing, it made me see through Gu Yansheng. It’s really sad you know, his marriage started with kidnapping and ended with kidnapping, it’s almost ridiculous…”

Wen Niannan turned his head to look at the flower bed on the side. He said bitterly, “It’s a pity…not to see the sunflowers blooming…”

Lu Yun, standing in place, watched Wen Niannan’s tufted figure drifting away. A drop of tears slid from her face, landing on the ground.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry for making you suffer.”

But she didn’t manage to say it in front of Wen Niannan.

Gu Yansheng looked at the back of Wen Niannan’s departure from the balcony. His eyes darkened as he looked down at the divorce documents in his hand.

Divorced…finally divorced…

But where is the happiness I’m supposed to be feeling?

He couldn’t believe that Wen Niannan actually agreed to the divorce so obediently. He thought it was one of those Wen Niannan’s tricks, but he didn’t expect that they will be actually signed…

Gu Yansheng looked at the paper in his hand, feeling as if something was missing in his heart. He felt as if he had overlooked something.

Shen Luoan walked downstairs with a bag, whispering, “Yansheng, I’m going back, can you accompany me?”

Gu Yansheng was particularly irritated and absent-minded. He folded the divorce agreement in his hand, put it back in the file bag, then turned around and rubbed his temples tiredly, saying, “You can ask Uncle Xu to bring you back, I…I’m a little tired… “

Shen Luoan squeezed his hands secretly. His eyes flashed with a glimmer of grudge and cruelty. He casually collected the expression in his eyes while nodding obediently.

“Well then, make sure to rest well. I’ll be leaving now, Yansheng good night.”

Shen Luoan turned around, saying in confusion, “What’s the matter?”

“…that necklace…return it to me,” said Gu Yansheng in a deep voice; his eyes flickering slightly.

“What?”

“The style is too old for you, I will go to buy you a better one tomorrow.”

“Okay…”

Shen Luoan handed the blue jewelry box to Gu Yansheng, chuckling lightly, he said good night, then he turned and left.

But Gu Yansheng stood there. He opened the box and took out the necklace. He stared at the music note hanging the necklace in a daze while holding the necklace tightly in his hand.

Zhou Yuanfeng helped Lu Yun walk in. Lu Yun looked tired, but she didn’t say anything or reprimand Gu Yansheng for going upstairs like that.

Zhou Yuanfeng sighed lightly, looking at the dumb-founded Gu Yansheng, “If you still have a little conscience, drive him to the hospital.”

Gu Yansheng was taken aback as soon as he heard he had to go to the hospital, “Go to the hospital? Can’t he take a taxi by himself…”

“How can there be a car in Yifeng District at this time? Even if there is a car, do you think there will be a taxi willing to drive him like that? Do you want him to go to the hospital by himself?”
