Chapter 555

Perhaps from last night until this morning, she has cried enough and scolded enough; now, she is entirely calm.

Her attitude toward Huo Jingyan is even calmer than she had imagined.

Huo Jingyan's body stiffened, yet he still took the food out of the takeout bag.

Jiang Nannan said she wouldn't eat, and she truly didn't take a single bite.

Not until Jiang Nannan finished an entire bowl of noodles did Huo Jingyan also put down his chopsticks; the few bites he had eaten just now tasted like wax, difficult to swallow.

Jiang Nannan did not look at Huo Jingyan once; she went to the kitchen to wash the bowl clean, then walked back out.

Following that, Jiang Nannan walked toward the sofa.

Huo Jingyan had been watching Jiang Nannan's every move.

If Jiang Nannan were crying and making a scene with him, he would use every possible method to coax her.

But as it happens, she is very calm.

Jiang Nannan took two printed copies of a divorce agreement from the sofa and handed them to Huo Jingyan, "Take a look. I am leaving with nothing; I don't want anything, I only ask for the fastest divorce. Sign it."

At this moment, Jiang Nannan's tone was extremely calm, and her eyes appeared to hold no feelings for Huo Jingyan.

Perhaps it was because she hated Huo Jingyan's betrayal so much, and also hated herself for being so foolish.

Huo Jingyan did not reach out to take them; his gaze was cold and dark, as if what lay before him were not two divorce agreements, but two hot potatoes, "My situation with Ye Yaoguang can be explained. I have no relationship with her. Going to see her today was for business; when she resigned from the company, she accidentally took an important company contract. This morning, I wanted to use this contract to demand compensation, and I wanted to talk to her about it personally."

Listening to the high-sounding excuse Huo Jingyan had spent the whole morning thinking up, Jiang Nannan found it quite laughable.

How is it that even now, Huo Jingyan still thinks she is as easy to fool as a child?

Did he think this kind of rhetoric could deceive her?

Jiang Nannan mocked herself: "Huo Jingyan, I am indeed not that smart; from childhood to now, I have never wanted to think of human nature as so malicious. However, that is not a reason for you to lie to me."

"Nannan, seeing is not necessarily believing," Huo Jingyan said in a deep voice.

Jiang Nannan took a deep breath, using a great deal of effort to make herself calm down, "Huo Jingyan, you watched me grow up, you were my first love, and our parents have a very good relationship. I don't want us to end up making things too ugly. That would hurt the feelings of both our parents. Whether you cheated or not, I know, and you know even better. Whether Ye Yaoguang is your secretary or your mistress, you know even better."

"You and I must divorce. I have been waiting here for you to return just to give you the divorce agreement and to have a proper talk with you. I have packed my things and will move out shortly."

Hearing Jiang Nannan calmly speak of leaving, Huo Jingyan was surrounded by a dangerous and gloomy aura, "I will not divorce, and it is impossible to divorce."

On the way back, he had thought about many things, but he had never thought her attitude would be so resolute.

"Have you talked to your parents about your thoughts? They would absolutely not support you getting a divorce. Nannan, we are both adults; some things cannot be as impulsive as when we were children. As for what the facts actually are, I have already explained them clearly to you. When we got married, you said we should trust each other; do you not even believe what I say now?" Huo Jingyan helped Jiang Nannan analyze the situation with sufficient calmness.

That's right, if the two of them were to divorce, the first people to stand up and oppose it would definitely be her parents. Jiang Nannan couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, "Huo Jingyan, you really understand me, and you also really understand my parents."

"Nannan..." Huo Jingyan stepped forward, attempting to hold her.

Just like he used to do to coax her.

But this time, it was different from before.

Jiang Nannan stiffened and retreated a few steps.

Huo Jingyan's hand froze in mid-air; his eyes, dark as the night, immediately stared fixedly at Jiang Nannan.

"I said, I don't want things between you and me to end up in such an embarrassing state. Huo Jingyan, even now, you still won't admit you cheated? When you lied to me saying you were on a business trip, you were fooling around with Ye Yaoguang at the Hot Spring Villa, and fooling around with her at Ye Yaoguang's home. When you were sleeping with her, did you never think there would come a day when the truth would be exposed? Aren't you tired? After coming back from her, you still have to deal with me. Do you know how disgusted I am just thinking about you touching me with the hands that touched her!"
