After paying her husband for five years, she turned around and married into a wealthy family with bi

In their third year of marriage, Yun An prepared a surprise for their wedding anniversary, but outside a private room at a Japanese restaurant, she heard her husband Gu Beiting's familiar voice.

"Do you like the engagement ring I made for you by hand?"

Yun'an stood rooted to the spot.

Through the crack in the partition window, she saw Gu Beiting kneeling on one knee, leaning forward, his gaze burning as he stared at the woman opposite him.

That was a focus she had never seen before.

The woman's makeup was exquisite, and she lazily toyed with a diamond ring on her fingertips.

In front of her was a mountain of orange Hermès gift boxes, jewelry velvet boxes, and luxury watch and jewelry boxes.

"I thought you were going to give me a super big diamond ring, at least much bigger than your wife's," the woman pouted, her voice coquettish. "I'm so disappointed."

"Niao Niao, stop fooling around." Gu Beiting hurriedly explained, his tone showing a nervousness and ingratiation that Yun An had never experienced before.

"Her ring was just a formality; the one on your finger is my true feeling!"

He paused, lowering his voice even further, yet it rang out clearly through the wooden door.

"If she hadn't paid out of her own pocket to help my tech company go public with that patent, how could I have married her? For the past three years, I've only ever loved you. I swear, I haven't even touched her."

Every word was like a needle chilled to ice, piercing Yun'an's eardrums and nailing into his heart.

Gu Beiting gazed at Xu Niaoniao, took her hand, and kissed her with utmost reverence.

"Marry me, Niao Niao. Once the company's stock price stabilizes, I'll immediately deal with those unnecessary troubles. Everything I have will eventually be yours."

Yun'an's vision suddenly blurred.

Five years ago, she came to Gu Beiting's startup company and used her patents to help him secure tens of millions of yuan in investment.

At their wedding three years ago, she longed to hear his vows as well.

However, Gu Beiting got completely drunk, and when his friends started making a fuss, he blurted out another name to her—"Niao Niao".

She was still foolish enough to make excuses for him, thinking it was the alcohol.

It's ridiculous.

Inside the private room, Xu Niaoniao gently withdrew her hand, her laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells.

A fleeting, almost scrutinizing calmness, which Yun An couldn't decipher, flashed quickly across his eyes.

"Aren't you afraid your wife will find out and it will affect your company?"

Gu Beiting smiled dismissively, his tone confident: "Don't worry, the unconditional patent transfer agreement is indefinitely in effect. As for her... I'll make sure she leaves with nothing!"

Indefinitely?

Yun An sneered. "Indefinite period, indeed," she thought, wiping away her tears.

Xu Niaoniao smiled with satisfaction, her fingertips tracing his tie, her tone becoming coquettish again: "Want to marry me? Well... that depends on your performance. If you're this sincere every day, and you beg me a hundred times, I'll consider saying yes."

"I'll definitely do this little thing." Gu Beiting's voice was filled with ecstasy.

Yun An burst into tears amidst his cheers.

She considered going in to confront them, but what would be the point? Gu Beiting loved her so much; he would definitely humiliate her to protect Xu Niaoniao.

After Yun An turned and left.

Gu Beiting held Xu Niaoniao's hand and said, "Ever since you saved my life when I was 10 years old, and I found you, I was destined to live this life for loving you!"

Xu Niaoniao paused for a moment after hearing this, but immediately smiled.

When Yun An walked out of the restaurant, it was pouring rain outside, but she seemed oblivious to it.

He let the heavy rain soak him.

……

All night long, Yun An was delirious with fever. Gu Beiting returned late at night, carrying the scent of that woman's perfume. He lay on the other side, oblivious to her high fever.

As soon as it was light, Gu Beiting ate the breakfast prepared by the nanny, ignored Yun An, and left.

It was the nanny who noticed something was wrong. When she saw that the lady hadn't eaten breakfast, she opened the door and found that she had fainted with a high fever. She immediately called an ambulance to take Yun'an to the hospital.

When Yun An regained consciousness, her best friend Lu Wanqing sat by her bedside, crying and asking her questions.

"An'an, how are you feeling? Do you want some water? You scared me to death! The doctor said you had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius. If Aunt Li hadn't brought you here in time, your brain would have been damaged."

Yun An looked at the empty, unfamiliar hospital room, where only Lu Wanqing was present.

Lu Wanqing brought up the thermos, knowing what she was looking for, and said angrily, "Stop looking, are you looking for Gu Beiting? He'll never come. I just called him, and guess what he said? It made me so angry! He actually said, 'It would be best if you were dead.'"

After hearing this, Yun An burst into tears.

She took care of Gu Beiting for three years. Every time he got drunk and lost consciousness, Yun An took meticulous and thoughtful care of him. And whenever he fell ill, Yun An served him with utmost care.

Three years of marriage, five years of devotion, all wasted!

Even if she longed for him to come and see her, Gu Beiting would never let her have his way.

After all, he still needed to prepare to propose to Xu Niaoniao the next day.

For the past three years, no matter what kind of neglect she suffered, she could deceive herself, but this time, she could no longer deceive herself!

When she opened her eyes again, the vulnerability and tears in Yun'an's eyes had been replaced by a cold, clear-headedness.

"Wanqing," she began, her voice hoarse yet unusually calm, "find me a lawyer."

"I want a divorce."
