Chapter 800

~4 min read 693 words

After Shu Xia returned to her room, she dug out the marriage agreement the two of them had signed before getting their marriage certificate.

She hadn't looked at the clauses inside in detail before.

Qiao Muting had likely already considered all possible outcomes when the terms were being drafted.

Now, after reading through them carefully, she realized that Qiao Muting had left a possibility in his heart for the return of his "white moonlight."

He would terminate the contract in advance and would also provide her with compensation.

It was impossible to find any fault with it.

Shu Xia didn't intend to find fault either; she just felt that Qiao Muting would likely terminate the contract early, so she took the contract out to hand it to him together—the divorce... should be happening around this time.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, when Shu Xia had finished her shower and was about to go to sleep in bed, Qiao Muting suddenly returned.

There was the smell of alcohol on him.

The look in his eyes as he watched her was hazy and profound.

When he went in to shower, he said two words to Shu Xia: "Wait for me."

Shu Xia waited.

A day's time was enough for her to prepare herself.

Divorce between the two of them wasn't that complicated; they just needed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to collect their divorce certificates.

Qiao Muting showered quickly, and after a dozen minutes, he walked out.

The clothes he had been wearing when he returned were stripped away completely, and now he only had a bath towel wrapped around his waist.

When he looked at Shu Xia, his deep eyes flashed with undisguised desire.

But Shu Xia did not look at him.

She was holding her phone, not knowing what she was looking at, but she was very engrossed.

Until he got into bed and moved closer, bringing with him the lingering moisture from his shower: "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing much." Shu Xia put away her phone.

What she had just been looking at was an entertainment news story.

Someone had taken street photos that captured both Qiao Muting and Xu Zihan, and because both of them were so good-looking, the popularity was very high.

The onlookers, conquered by their looks, were all leaving comments in the section saying that if the two of them debuted together, there would be no room left for other celebrities!

In the few seconds of the video, the compatibility between Qiao Muting and Xu Zihan drew exclamations from everyone who saw it.

It was almost the same rhetoric as the driver.

At a glance, this was a well-matched, grand, and spectacular love!

A love that ordinary people could only look up to from afar.

Talent scouts had already started leaving comments for the street photographer, asking for the contact information of Qiao Muting and Xu Zihan.

It wasn't just strangers who were hit by this critical strike; she was too.

Qiao Muting wrapped his arm around Shu Xia's waist, and just as he was about to kiss her, Shu Xia dodged.

She looked at Qiao Muting with some confusion: "Didn't you have something to say?"

"Something to say?" Qiao Muting raised an eyebrow; how did he not know about that?

Shu Xia was silent for a moment.

Had he not made up his mind yet?

Watching Shu Xia's silence, Qiao Muting sensed a hint of something unusual: "Is something the matter?"

Shu Xia put away her thoughts, turned around to face away from Qiao Muting, and then said: "It's nothing, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep first."

Qiao Muting watched Shu Xia, who had her back to him, his eyes deepening.

——

The next day.

Qiao Muting arrived at the company.

Zhang Tezhu had been waiting early on, and upon seeing Qiao Muting, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Qiao, some street photos captured you and Miss Xu. The popularity is very high right now. Someone from the company told me this morning; do I need to find the person who took the street photos and have them delete the video?"

"Street photos?"
