Chapter 2 Disrupted Seniority_1

If the Young Master is thinking about getting a divorce, this marriage is bound to not last long.

"Forget it, Nanxun is still young. She can't be stuck in the Zhou family forever. Like this, let that bastard come back for a bit these two days. I'll ask him what he intends to do. If he really wants to divorce, then so be it. I'll accept Nanxun as my god-daughter. She'll always have a part in the Zhou family's future."

"God-daughter?" The man who had always worn a composed face in the face of any problem now finally showed a crack, "Old man, isn't the relationship a bit off?"

'Hm'

A cold snort, his voice robust and firm, "Indeed, god-daughter. If that dirty boy made Nanxun suffer for these two years, I'll make him uncomfortable for the rest of his life."

Akun was entirely speechless.

Has the old man's childishness been activated?

How did the old man come up with the rotten idea of making the Young Master call his ex-wife auntie?

While it seemed inappropriate, he couldn't directly deny him, otherwise he would surely be upset, and when he was upset he would refuse to eat. Then everyone would be running around trying to please him. So, Akun could only carefully probe, "Old man, if this gets out, wouldn't it be bad for the Zhou family's reputation?"

"Bad? What could be bad about it? I don't know which day I'd drop dead, out of sight, out of mind."

He even brought death into the conversation, it seemed there was no room for maneuver. All Akun could do was to secretly warn the Young Master, to avoid him from truly having to call his ex-wife auntie, which would be a global tragedy.

Akun had always been attentive, but this time he had miscalculated. Or perhaps it could be said, he didn't expect the marriage of this couple to end so quickly.

After leaving the Zhou family, Ye Nanxun ran a few errands in the morning, had a splendid meal in a trendy restaurant at noon, and when the Civil Affairs Bureau was about to start their work in the afternoon, she contacted an assistant, speaking straightforwardly without giving him a chance to interrupt before hanging up abruptly. "Meet me at the Civil Affairs Bureau in half an hour. Please relay the message to your boss, bring his documentation, I won't wait if he is late."

Holding the abruptly hung-up phone, Lin Zhou was taken aback. For the past two years, he had been the intermediary between this married couple, though the function was rarely used. The last time was half a year ago and what it was about had become obscure in his memory. However, none of the past incidents were as explosive as this one.

When the assistant returned to the office, the man behind the desk raised his sharp eyes, "What's wrong?"

Always consistent with Young Master Zhou's style— straightforward, no nonsense.

Even though the man who returned had prepared a draft in his heart, he found it difficult to say when faced with the expressionless handsome face.

A minute had gone by, and he was still not getting the answer he needed. The man behind the desk was starting to lose patience, "Speak."

Lin Zhou took a deep breath and said all at once, "CEO, the Young Madam just called me. She wants to meet you at the Civil Affairs Bureau in half an hour, advising you to bring the necessary documents. If you're late, she will not wait."

Afterwards, the office fell into a long silence, the kind of silence where you could even clearly hear a pin drop.

It's... too... quiet.

Lin Zhou couldn't take it soon after and wanted to run away, however, the boss didn't dismiss him, so he couldn't.

He had no other option but to continue waiting.

He didn't dare to look at the boss's face dark as coal directly, so he kept his head down and continued counting the ants.

One ant, two ants, three ants...

"Assistant Lin, when did you send the divorce agreement?"

"I received a text message saying that the express delivery had been signed for this morning at eight."

Previously, didn't you ask me if it could be intercepted, have you forgotten?

Of course, this kind of question could only be kept to himself.

Very well, wonderful.
