Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

"No, you can't do this!"

Qin Yi roared, and at the same time, due to the excessive force, the stitches on his wound began to ache again.

Liu Ruyan remained unmoved in the face of Qin Yi's roar.

She simply said calmly, "You're a high-end talent who graduated from a prestigious university in Shanghai; you should know what a transaction is."

"Our relationship, from beginning to end, has always been nothing more than a transaction."

"The initiative in this deal has always been in my hands."

"And now, I want to end this deal, and I don't want you to make things look undignified."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind helping you save face."

Even though Qin Yi had grown up with Liu Ruyan since childhood, when it came to taking action, Liu Ruyan would not hesitate to act decisively.

From a young age, Liu Ruyan was very clear about one thing.

You have to go and fight for what you like.

If there are obstacles in this process of striving, just remove them.

Without a doubt, Qin Yi is now an obstacle in her pursuit of her senior.

If Qin Yi remains obstinate, Liu Ruyan will have no choice but to resort to force!

Qin Yi felt a sharp pain in his heart as he listened to Liu Ruyan's emotionless words.

He clutched his chest, his eyes reddening: "In what way am I inferior to Chen Zhou?"

Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Yi with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?" and said, "How can you compare to your senior?"

Qin Yi clenched his fist: "Could Chen Zhou really give up his male pride and his own ideals to become a stay-at-home husband and cook for you like I have?"

Liu Ruyan sighed: "I really don't know how you even got into Shanghai University."

"Does our Liu family lack a cook? Do we need you to cook?"

"You even gave up your dignity as a man for me? Did I beg you to do it?"

"As for giving up your ideals and ambitions, that only proves you're stupid."

"The only requirements I have for you in the agreement you signed are to pretend to be my husband and attend events with me when necessary. There are no other restrictions on you."

"In other words, you can do whatever you want when I don't need you."

"But you've devoted yourself entirely to being a nanny and a cook, instead of pursuing your ideals and ambitions. Is that my fault?"

"I think you should get your head checked!"

Liu Ruyan is increasingly convinced that Qin Yi has lost his mind.

The Liu family was a wealthy and powerful family, and he had basically seen and enjoyed everything.

Would someone like me lack a driver's son who can cook for me?

How could you possibly win someone's heart with skills that any nanny or cook in the Liu family possessed?

It's ridiculous!

This kind of thing can be bought with money easily.

Such behavior only makes Qin Yi seem like a resentful woman wallowing in self-pity without realizing it!

"I've given you the divorce agreement. I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau so we can get a divorce as soon as possible."

After saying that, Liu Ruyan left in her high heels.

As Liu Ruyan walked out of the hospital, she looked at the bright sky and felt her mood brighten up.

Once I get the divorce certificate tomorrow, I can finally hold my head high in front of my senior.

Yes, she's definitely much better than the gentle senior.

After all, there is a fundamental difference between myself and the gentle senior.

Liu Ruyan's marriage proposal to Qin Yi was purely a ploy to use him as a shield.

The reason for seeking out Qin Yi was because they had grown up together since childhood, and Qin Yi knew that he wouldn't dare to do anything reckless.

Even without Qin Yi, there would be Wang Yi, Zhang Yi, Li Yi, and so on.

Therefore, as long as she gets a divorce, Liu Ruyan feels that she is free of any stain on her reputation.

Wenrou is different; she keeps Tu Ming for reasons fundamentally different from her own.

It's easy to develop feelings for someone who acts as a stand-in.

It's just that the senior was too outstanding, so Tu Mingcai couldn't win Wenrou's heart.

A pink Lamborghini pulled up in front of the hospital.

Immediately afterwards, a ponytail-wearing girl dressed in e-sports attire got off the car, looked at her phone, and then glanced at the Shanghai Hospital again and again, as if confirming the location.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Liu Ruyan.

Their eyes met, and they both nodded in greeting.

The girl is Cao Qingqing, the daughter of the chairman of Shanghai Shanhai Games, who is said to be a very capable person.

However, Liu Ruyan and she were not familiar with each other, and their businesses did not overlap, so a nod was enough to be considered a greeting.

One goes out, one goes in.

Unbeknownst to Liu Ruyan as she left, Cao Qingqing's final destination was the ward where Qin Yi was staying.

……

On the desolate mountain, Chen Zhou and his puppet got off the car.

Here, they met a young woman wearing a windbreaker and carrying a trekking pole.

The young woman arrived a little earlier than Chen Zhou and his companions, and it seemed she intended to enter the desolate mountains.

Chen Zhou instinctively activated his Eye of Truth, and the golden light on his body could no longer be concealed.

Sure enough, it's another main character.

Chen Zhou looked at the young woman and asked, "You want to go up this mountain?"

Chen Zhou's sudden remark startled Cheng Yan, who was quietly gazing at the desolate mountain.

She recognized the voice; it was the voice of Chen Zhou, the man who had turned down her engagement in her previous life.

She looked at Chen Zhou, her voice tinged with confusion, "What are you doing here?"

That shouldn't be the case. Chen Zhou shouldn't have noticed the extraordinary nature of this desolate mountain at this time.

Chen Zhou pointed to the sign he had put up last time—Danger Inside, Do Not Enter (Leaves by the Lord of the Wilderness).

"I put up this sign."

"So, I bought this mountain."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yan's pupils immediately dilated.

How could that be? This mountain belongs to Chen Zhou?

So, that opportunity that could have made him a celestial being was also taken away by Chen Zhou?

In this life, will I only be able to be humiliated by Chen Zhou and watch him lead the Chen family to the top again?

The avatar whispered in Chen Zhou's ear: "Ask me! Ask me! I know who she is!"

Chen Zhou: "I don't want to ask. This guy seems harmless. I'll just tease him for a bit."

Chen Zhou found it rather amusing that someone without martial arts skills or extraordinary abilities possessed luck comparable to Zhang Ling's.

He planned to investigate this person himself; it wouldn't be fun if the strategy system revealed the truth directly.

The strategy character's eyes widened: 【? That's so despicable!】

Chen Xin looked at Cheng Yan with a scrutinizing gaze: "The sign already indicates that the barren mountain is owned, why do you still want to go up there?"

At the same time, she was always ready to shake the bell.

If Cheng Yan makes any unusual move, she will shake the bell and take her down immediately!

Cheng Yan looked at Chen Xin. In her previous life, because she almost became Chen Xin's sister-in-law, her relationship with Chen Xin was quite good.

Therefore, she knew something about the Chen family.

For example, the bell in Chen Xin's hand is a treasure powerful enough to drive a Grandmaster puppet.

At the same time, she also knew that if she showed any unusual behavior, she would be attacked.

It's a pity. If the Grandmaster puppet wasn't here, I could have tried to kill Chen Zhou and Chen Xin with a gun!

So she said, "I'm a mountain climbing enthusiast, and I love challenging those barren mountains. I just happened to choose this mountain today."
