Chapter 3 Behind-the-Scenes Gossip_1

She really was straight to the point and decisive. She received his divorce agreement in the morning and was waiting for him outside the Civil Affairs Bureau in the afternoon.

All his previous regrets seemed ridiculous now.

Had she been eagerly awaiting this day all along?

At work, he admired this type of woman, but now it concerned his own marriage, and all he felt was unease. Was she that eager to break free from him?

Had she been waiting for this divorce all this time?

On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lin Zhou was driving, not daring to take a deep breath. The man behind him looked appalling, showing what is known as a 'god of death' face.

He prayed for the young mistress. Being tormented by her ex-husband after a divorce is more pitiful than anything else.

As a special assistant, he sees things more clearly than others. He could tell that the boss was not really willing to divorce. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked him to intercept the divorce agreement halfway, even if it was in vain.

He wished he had slowed down earlier.

He wondered if the boss would blame him for his regret later.

In the Civil Affairs bureau, Ye Nanxun picked up a numbered ticket and quietly waited in her chair. Her cold demeanor and beautiful appearance quickly attracted many people's attention.

"Such a beautiful woman is getting divorced. What kind of man would be so blind?"

"Indeed, if she were my wife, I would definitely cherish her."

The 'blind' Zhou DaShao happened to appear behind the two men, his face full of storm clouds.

Lin Zhou stole a glance at him. His face was even darker, colder, and gloomier than before...

How scary.

Despite the man's unpleasant expression, his magnetism did not fail to attract attention.

Lin Zhou clearly remembered his first impression of him. He was overwhelmed by a sense of admiration and envy. Some people were born winners, even if he worked twice as hard, he wouldn't be able to catch up. More importantly, he worked harder than many others.

At twenty-two years old, he was a magnum cum laude graduate with double degree from a world-class university.

Coming from an enviable family background, coupled with his clever brain, what made people more envious was his handsome face that could put male stars to shame.

Charming, stern face, eyes like cold winter stars, often icy clear, exuding an irresistible aristocratic pride, standing at 186 cm tall, thanks to regular exercise, he didn't lose any bit to a supermodel.

Such a man would drive any woman mad.

Over the years, there were no shortage of women who wanted to rise through the ranks, even if they couldn't be the official wife, being the third or fourth was not a problem. However, none of them succeeded. There were no other women around him, except for his wife.

What a pity that he was getting a divorce now.

"Madam, you're here," Lin Zhou greeted Ye Nanxun as she approached.

The two men, who were just talking about him, felt really embarrassed as they were caught red-handed. What scared them the most was his aura, which obviously belonged to someone not ordinary.

The two men who were just gossiping instantly turned pale. Losing a stable job over loose talk was definitely not worth it considering they had families to take care of.

"Sorry, sorry." The two men hurriedly left, their previous sympathetic words were long gone.

Ye Nanxun was confused by this scene but didn't bother to find out what had happened. She just handed over the signed divorce agreement: "I've already signed it. Once you sign it, we can get our divorce certificate."

Her casual tone irritated a certain someone: "Are you really in such a hurry?"

"What?" She quickly figured out what he was implying, a hint of annoyance flashing across her face: "Wasn't it you who sent me the divorce agreement by courier? How on the earth did it become me being eager now?" This man was really perplexing.

If anyone was eager, it was him. His old flame hadn't even returned to the country yet, and he was already eager to be single again.

She willingly stepped aside, what more could he ask for?
