“Why? We’re about to get a divorce, and you still want to fulfill your obligations as my wife?” Chen Chen suddenly leaned closer and asked condescendingly.

Bai Ran knew that she had crossed the line. She shut her mouth immediately and went upstairs silently.

Chen Chen looked at the water stains on the ground. The image of Bai Ran being drenched in white clothing when he first came in flashed in his mind. He was suddenly in a daze.

Bai Ran hurriedly changed her clothes and ran back to pack.

Unexpectedly, she bumped into Chen Chen, who was about to come out of the kitchen. Feeling his broad chest and firm muscles, she blushed. “Ah, I’m sorry…”

“You’re so clumsy.” Chen Chen smiled subconsciously. He was about to raise his hand to touch Bai Ran’s head when his cold expression instantly reappeared. “Hurry up and clean up.”

With that, he let go of her and turned to leave, leaving her behind.

Bai Ran patted her face and quickly straightened her clothes. God, she seemed to have been thinking too much just now…

When Bai Ran was almost done packing, a WeChat notification suddenly sounded.

She opened it and saw that it was a friend looking for her.

“Are you okay now?”

“I’m fine.”

“But he’s going to marry someone else.”

“It’s okay.” Bai Ran suddenly calmed down.

“Then are you still going back to study? If not, come stay with me,” her friend replied concernedly.

“It depends. I want to accompany my mother.” Bai Ran thought of her mother and could not help but sigh.

“If you need a job, come to my place. I’m short of manpower.”

“Okay.”

There was a pause. After a while, a reply came. “Ran Ran, are you really willing to get a divorce?”

Bai Ran looked at those words and felt her nose turn sour.

How could she be willing? She had loved him for more than ten years. Even if it was just a marriage in name only, she had been more than willing.

As she was hesitating on how to reply, she suddenly heard footsteps.

Bai Ran put away her phone and saw him walking over in his pajamas.

It was simple pajamas, but they looked somewhat expensive on him. Bai Ran looked at him in a daze, feeling even more uncomfortable.

The man she loved actually loved someone else with all his heart. Furthermore, the reason she could marry him was that his lover could not get married to him.

Hu Wan had congenital heart disease and was not suitable for pregnancy. She might even die without warning.

No one in the Chen family was willing to accept such a daughter-in-law. At the same time, Bai Ran, who was their granddaughter, became their first choice.

At that time, Bai Ran’s family fell from grace, and her mother was hospitalized.

She loved him and needed his help. However, he loved Hu Wan and needed a wife in name.

From then on, the deal was struck.

“You can’t cook anymore. Go cut some fruits,” Chen Chen suddenly said as he came in.

“Huh? Aren’t you going out to eat?” Bai Ran looked up at Chen Chen.

“Are you unwilling?” Chen Chen’s cold voice was heard. “I informed them when I was changing earlier. Someone will deliver food.”

“It’s not that I’m unwilling, but…” Bai Ran was a little conflicted as her voice became softer and softer.

The two of them were about to get a divorce. It was not appropriate for Bai Ran to continue living here. Oh, wait. Other than staying here for a day when they registered their marriage, they had never stayed in this house again.

Haha, it was a little ironic.

After everything that had happened earlier, it was almost dark. When Bai Ran was packing up, she was still thinking of going out to find a hotel before dark. Otherwise, it would not be safe if it was too late.

In the end, this young master still wanted to eat fruits.

“Why? Do you think we shouldn’t be living under the same roof?” Chen Chen saw through her thoughts.

“Don’t think about going out. You have to stay here today. Grandpa’s people are all outside. You can’t go anywhere.”

Chen Chen said calmly, “This show is almost over, but you have to act well before it ends.”

“Alright.” Bai Ran turned around silently and went to cut some fruits.

Looking at Bai Ran cutting fruits with her head lowered, her hair hanging below her ears, and her long eyelashes blinking against her bright eyes, Chen Chen suddenly felt that this scene was quite warm.

However, there was only warmth left.

After dinner, the two of them began the same day as on the first day of their marriage. They slept in separate rooms.

The next day, before noon, Chen Chen hurriedly brought Bai Ran to look for Hu Wan.

In the car, Bai Ran looked at the passing scenery outside the window and felt a little sad. Was there a need to be so anxious?

He wanted her to leave so badly? To think that she had seen the divorce agreement that was not signed yesterday and thought that…

Forget it, forget it. Wasn’t she just a tool to him? Since he had already helped her with her mother’s illness, what else could she ask for?

Soon, they arrived. Bai Ran saw Hu Wan at a glance. She was still as beautiful and magnanimous as before. Although her face was a little pale, it did not affect her appearance at all. Instead, it even added to her poignant beauty.

Chen Chen and Hu Wan were the same age, while Bai Ran was a few years younger than them. Hu Wan’s looks had a warm and intellectual beauty, so in Bai Ran’s eyes, Hu Wan would always be a gentle and mature big sister.

When Hu Wan saw Bai Ran, she personally pulled her over to sit down and greeted her enthusiastically, “Ran Ran, I haven’t seen you in two years!”

“Yes, Sister Wan,” Bai Ran replied politely.

Hu Wan held Bai Ran’s hand and asked with a smile, “How have you been? Did you have a hard time studying overseas? Did you meet anyone you liked?”

“No, I didn’t have a hard time at all. Besides, Sister Wan, your guess is really accurate. I do have a boyfriend.” Bai Ranran’s empty hand was clutching the corner of her shirt tightly as she smiled.

God, it was so difficult for her to say such things against her conscience.

“I knew it. Our Ran Ran is so beautiful, how could those boys outside bear to miss you?” Hu Wan smiled and asked with concern like an elder sister. “How is he? Is he handsome? Is he good to you?”

“Sister Wan, this boy is my classmate. When I first went to school, he gave me a lot of help. Then, as we became more familiar with each other, we got together. He has always doted on me,” Bai Ran replied patiently, almost believing her own words.

“Does he know about your situation? He won’t mind, right?” Hu Wan asked worriedly.

“Sister Wan, don’t worry. I can handle this. I trust him,” Bai Ran replied.

“I think so too. After all, when a couple gets together, everything goes without saying,” Hu Wan said naturally.

However, it was especially ear-piercing to Bai Ran.

Especially the word “together” that was especially emphasized.. It was obvious what it meant.
