Chapter 1217 - Chapter 1217 Chapter 1219 Divorce (5)

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1219: Divorce (5) Chapter 1217: Chapter 1219: Divorce (5) “Why bother? If it weren’t for Zhao Zihao, or Zhongtian Steel, or the greed within the Qin Family, Qin Zhiyou would never have been so proactive or so magnanimous as to let her go so easily.

But now, he had left very cleanly. He hadn’t given her a hundred percent guarantee of safety. He didn’t want to take that risk.

“Irreconcilable differences.”

Soon, they had finalized the procedures, each holding a document. However, what was originally a marriage certificate had now become a divorce certificate.

According to the marriage law in China, he no longer legally owned everything of hers, and they were no longer family.

Lu Weixi was the same, holding the divorce certificate in her hand, not expecting that the break-up of her marriage would be so swift and decisive–so decisive that she had regained her freedom and would no longer have any contact with Qin Zhiyou.

“Congratulations, you’re free now.” His heart still ached somewhat, but knowing she could be happier and safer in the future was comforting to him. Qin Zhiyou reached out his hand for a handshake.

“Thank you, you too.” Lu Weixi hesitated for a moment before extending her hand, and they clasped fingers.

“What are you planning to do after the divorce?” Qin Zhiyou didn’t want to let go of her hand, deliberately changing the subject.

“Work, get my mom out, study, take exams–I’ve got plans for several more years. According to the plans, I’ll indeed be very busy, too busy to think about the divorce,” she said. “What about you?”

“Work.” Qin Zhiyou answered very plainly.

“Have you thought about remarrying?” Maybe because they were now divorced, she found it easier to talk about these things. Yet within that ease was a tinge of pain.

“I might, if the right person comes along,” Qin Zhiyou said, also trying to sound casual.

“Oh.” Lu Weixi nodded, keeping her reluctance and sorrow inside.

Just then, it seemed like thunder began to roll in the sky. Qin Zhiyou suddenly said, “You didn’t drive today, right? Let me drive you back to the West Mountain villa.”

Lu Weixi was about to refuse when Qin Zhiyou added, “Consider it a favor among friends, now that we’re divorced.”

Since he put it so clearly, Lu Weixi couldn’t refuse and got into his car with him. Throughout the drive, she unconsciously touched the divorce certificate and gazed out the window, afraid that one more look at him would make it too hard to leave. Qin Zhiyou, noticing from the corner of his eye that she kept touching the divorce document, thought that she treasured it greatly, which slightly troubled him, but he quickly let it go.

They soon arrived home. Although it was only four in the afternoon, the sky was dark with rolling clouds, looking as if it were night. Qin Zhiyou dropped her off at the courtyard entrance just as a downpour began. Lu Weixi hurriedly got out of the car, “You should head back now. Be careful driving.”

Qin Zhiyou made a sound of acknowledgment and watched her run from the yard to the hall. Just that short distance, and she was already drenched.

He drove the car from the courtyard to the gate, and just as he reached the gate, the car stalled.

Qin Zhiyou tried to restart it, but it wouldn’t start.

Lu Weixi just got back to the house, soaked from head to toe, and was just about to change clothes when she suddenly realized she had left her divorce certificate in Qin Zhiyou’s car.

They were already divorced. She was no longer Mrs. Qin, even living here was a “benefit” given by Qin Zhiyou.

Even though the divorce was resolute and decisive, the thought of truly leaving him and this place where she had lived for five years tugged at her heart. She stared blankly for a long while, until her clothes were ice-cold, before she undressed, intending to take a shower.

But as soon as she had undressed, the door suddenly opened, and the person who came in was Qin Zhiyou.
