Torn Apart

From the night they met and fell in love on her eighteenth birthday, to now, at the age of twenty-five, feeling completely disheartened...

Seven years! The prime of her youth, and yet, in Yun Qingqing's eyes, her feelings had turned into hatred.

Lu Yanchen flung the divorce agreement onto the coffee table. He got up quickly with his gaze piercing.

"Yun Qingqing, are you out of your mind?"

Yun Qingqing met his gaze without fear. With Bai An'ning present, she knew that if Lu Yanchen dared to lay a hand on her, it would all be recorded.

With her hands placed in front of her, Yun Qingqing raised her voice.

"I'm perfectly sober now. You two are the crazy ones."

She pointed at Wen Wan, then continued speaking to Lu Yanchen.

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, meet me at the civil affairs bureau."

If it weren't nearly six o'clock now, Yun Qingqing would have gone to the civil affairs bureau immediately to start the divorce proceedings.

With reddened eyes, Wen Wan looked quite delicate.

"Sister Qingqing, you've misunderstood. I'm too weak to have an affair with Brother Yanchen."

Yun Qingqing's smile turned even colder. She intentionally mimicked Wen Wan's tone.

"Sister Wanwan, dare you say you don't have any feelings for Brother Yanchen?"

Glancing at Lu Yanchen, Wen Wan blushed and said coyly, "Sister Qingqing, it's perfectly normal to admire such an excellent man. But between us, everything has been above the redline. We've never cheated on you."

Bai An'ning, who was recording the video, couldn't help but make a light clicking sound with her tongue.

Yun Qingqing, still quite composed, raised an eyebrow at Wen Wan.

"You admire him, and he takes such good care of you. I'll step aside to make you both happy."

Lu Yanchen's brows were furrowing more and more. "Yun Qingqing, how long are you going to keep this up?"

With great effort, Yun Qingqing managed to control herself and refrained from picking up a fruit knife from the coffee table and throwing it at Lu Yanchen.

"Sister Qingqing, are you divorcing Brother Yanchen because of the kidney donating thing?"

She immediately shook her head and waved her hand.

"Whether we divorce or not, I won't donate a kidney to you."

"I'm divorcing him because my brain has cleared, and my eyesight has returned to normal."

Yun Qingqing walked to the door of the ward, held onto Bai An'ning's arm, and spoke to Lu Yanchen with a cold, indifferent tone.

"Mr. Lu, see you at the civil affairs bureau at nine o'clock tomorrow."

In the disdainful look Yun Qingqing gave him, Lu Yanchen sensed her disgust.

"Yun Qingqing, are you threatening me?"

Yun Qingqing nodded and spoke calmly.

"Yes, I am threatening you. If you dare to be late tomorrow, you'll see the consequences."

Lu Yanchen smirked and retorted, "Before you try to threaten me with divorce, take a look at yourself first. If it weren't for Wen Wan, I wouldn't have married you in the first place. Yun Qingqing, the kidney donation is settled whether you want or not. If you continue causing trouble, you'll bear the consequences."

Seeing Wen Wan's smug smile and Lu Yanchen's cold, heartless expression, Yun Qingqing couldn't control herself. She stomped on the man's foot.

"We'll see."

With that, Yun Qingqing quickly pulled Bai An'ning away.

Because she knew she and Bai An'ning wouldn't stand a chance against Lu Yanchen in a physical confrontation.

After reprinting the divorce agreement, Yun Qingqing asked Bai An'ning to send her the video and audio recordings.

Back at the villa she shared with Lu Yanchen, Yun Qingqing took out the still-steaming takeout. As she ate, she watched the video of Lu Yanchen.

The more she watched, the less appetite she had. She eventually flipped her phone upside down on the dining table.

With her phone placed upside down on the dining table, Yun Qingqing began to reminisce about how she had cared for Lu Yanchen, showering him with warmth and culinary prowess over the past two years of their marriage...

And then, she completely lost her appetite!

Nonetheless, at the thought of the 'battle' awaiting her tomorrow, she managed to finish her chicken soup.

During their marriage, Yun Qingqing and Lu Yanchen had always slept in separate rooms, and he had never visited her room. Thus, she had gotten careless and didn't lock the door.

As the door was pushed open, Yun Qingqing hurriedly sat up on the bed. Her feet hadn't even touched the floor when Lu Yanchen roughly pulled her up.

The look in Lu Yanchen's eyes was icy and bone-chilling.

"Yun Qingqing, the reason you threatening me with divorce and unwilling to donate your kidney to Wanwan is that you think I won't keep my promise, aren't you?"

Her entire body was picked up and held by Lu Yanchen. Yun Qingqing felt extremely insecure.

"..."

She slapped his face due to panic attack.

Lu Yanchen, who had just been slapped, was momentarily stunned.

Hastily wrapping herself in the bed sheets, Yun Qingqing rushed to the door. She was afraid of retaliation from Lu Yanchen; he could easily end her life, just like squashing an ant.

As Lu Yanchen regained his senses, his face, already slapped, turned even darker.

"Get lost."

Although this was Yun Qingqing's room, she understood when to retreat.

"Alright, I'm leaving. Mr. Lu, don't forget, nine o'clock tomorrow morning at the civil affairs bureau."

With that, Yun Qingqing, still wrapped in a sheet, hastily ran to the guest room downstairs.

This time, she was smarter. She not only locked the door but also used a chair to block it.

She couldn't sleep still for the entire night. The next morning, looking at herself in the mirror, now promoted to a panda who had dark eye circles she decided to put on some makeup before heading out.

After all, it was still early, and as she had expected, Lu Yanchen wasn't at home. He probably left last night.

It was not even 8:50 AM when Yun Qingqing arrived at the civil affairs bureau.

But now, it was almost 10 o'clock, and Lu Yanchen hadn't shown up, nor was he answering her calls.

She stomped her foot and gritted her teeth.

"Lu Yanchen, since you're ruthless. Don't blame me for being unrighteous."

She hailed a taxi and said to the driver, "Please go to the Lu Corporation, thank you."

Yun Qingqing was no stranger to the company's front desk since she frequently came to deliver lunchbox to Lu Yanchen. They didn't stop her.

When she arrived at the CEO's office, Yun Qingqing didn't bother to knock. She simply pushed the door open.

Seeing that only Lu Yanchen was inside, she marched over to his desk with a determined look.

"Are you intentionally avoiding the civil affairs bureau?"

Without a hint of guilt, Lu Yanchen nodded slightly.

"Yes, I'm busy. I don't have time for such a boring act with you."

Yun Qingqing's red lips curled up, her smile eerie.

She placed her phone in front of him and tapped the screen.

"If you don't want to divorce, then I'll have to give this video to the police, accusing you of forcing me to donate a kidney to Wen Wan."

Lu Yanchen quickly got up after watching the video. With a gaze full of murderous intent, he looked at Yun Qingqing.

His voice was icy as he spoke.

"Yun Qingqing, are you looking for death?"

After putting her phone back in her bag, Yun Qingqing stepped back to the door. She sneered.

"Lu Yanchen,since you're so against divorcing me, could it be that you've fallen in love with me?"

"I'd rather fall in love with a pig."
