Chapter 743

Even when signing the divorce agreement, with today's date clearly written on it, she could still forget.

Perhaps, she, Jiang Nannan, was by nature somewhat cold-hearted.

"You've always been scatterbrained; it's normal to forget." Huo Jingyan did not mind.

Jiang Nannan's eyes reddened slightly.

Huo Jingyan saw the few dishes set out on the table and seemed to sense something; his gaze turned intensely dark, but when he looked at Jiang Nannan again, he smoothed things over.

"You happened to cook? They must be cold; I'll go heat them up."

Still wearing his suit, Huo Jingyan rolled up his sleeves, acting just as he used to when doting on Jiang Nannan, without any of the high-and-mighty airs of a CEO, like an ordinary husband or boyfriend, as he carried the plates to the kitchen.

His movements in heating the food were very practiced.

Jiang Nannan looked at the birthday cake, her tears unable to stop falling.

She was very pathetic.

When Huo Jingyan finished heating the food and walked out, Jiang Nannan gripped her hands tightly, turned around, and stared at Huo Jingyan with red eyes, "Huo Jingyan, let's get a divorce."

After the words fell, she could no longer look Huo Jingyan in the eye.

She ran toward the upstairs.

A few minutes later, she came down from upstairs and handed over the divorce agreement she had signed.

In those few short minutes, she had lost the panic and helplessness she felt when facing Huo Jingyan just moments ago, "There is no possibility for us anymore; forcing ourselves to stay together will only hurt each other. Today... you only held my hand, and I couldn't accept it. I'm sorry, Huo Jingyan."

Huo Jingyan's thin lips were taut.

He still maintained the posture from a few minutes ago.

His eyes were pitch-black and bottomless.

The moment he saw the divorce agreement, the aura about him became somewhat terrifying.

"I said, the future is still long; I can wait slowly," Huo Jingyan said in a deep voice, his tone incomparably firm.

Jiang Nannan shook her head with red eyes, "Yes, the future is still very long, and you have other choices. It's just that you can remove me from your choices. Since I cannot face you now, I will certainly not be able to face you in the future. Huo Jingyan, stop lying to yourself, okay? We understand each other, and you understand me even better. During this time, we have become increasingly polite, more and more like strangers; I can't feel the way a real married couple interacts at all."

"It hasn't even been a month, Nannan," Huo Jingyan reminded her in a deep voice.

In just one short month, what could change?

He understood her.

So he knew it would take a long time to digest everything that had happened before.

Jiang Nannan took a deep breath, took out her phone, and played the video from the chat history between her and Ye Yaoguang.

She held it up for Huo Jingyan to see.

Once she had seen this scene, it had already taken root in her mind.

Playing it again now, her heart felt as if it had been sliced to pieces all over again.

From the very beginning, she had not wanted to take this step.

She did not want them to fall into this current state of facing such an unbearable scene.

The moment Huo Jingyan saw the video, his pupils shook violently, and he suddenly said sharply, "Nannan! Turn it off!"

The phone was snatched away directly by Huo Jingyan.

The veins on the hand Huo Jingyan used to hold the phone bulged.

Jiang Nannan wept silently, "Huo Jingyan, we have no way out now; can we please get a divorce?"

Huo Jingyan suddenly swung his large hand and threw the phone away.

Then he looked at Jiang Nannan, silent for a long time.

Laozhai.

Qiao Nainai checked the time; an hour had passed since Xia Xia called earlier.

"What kind of road could be jammed for this long? At this hour, logically speaking, the congested sections shouldn't have traffic anymore," Qiao Nainai asked Qiao Muting.

"I'll call and ask," Qiao Muting also sensed that too much time had passed.

However, when the call was dialed out, it remained in a state of no one answering.

After calling twice in a row, the next time he dialed, it was unreachable.

Seeing this, Qiao Nainai asked, "What's the situation? Did Xia Xia send you a message?"

She didn't know why, but she felt a panic in her chest; she had undergone a full-body checkup when she was discharged from the hospital, so she wouldn't be having problems again right after being discharged, would she?
