Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

On the journey from the farm to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Sun Zhigang drove, with Xiao Re in the passenger seat. Xiao Congwen and He Yingying sat in the back, each pressed against the window, ignoring the other.

The wide Chu-Han border in the middle was like a buried grenade; no one could cross it even half an inch.

Who would have thought they were going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate? Anyone who didn't know better would think they were sworn enemies.

The two didn't exchange a single word all the way to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Sun Zhigang opened the car door and very sensibly avoided it.

"Sister-in-law, elder brother, Comrade He, we've arrived!"

"You guys go inside and get things done, I'm going to have a smoke over there!"

The sun shone brightly that day, casting golden sunlight onto the walls of the Civil Affairs Building, making it appear especially festive.

There were quite a few people queuing up to get their marriage certificates at the Civil Affairs Bureau. The hall was bustling with people, and everywhere were happy couples-to-be.

Xiao Re strode ahead, while Xiao Congwen and He Yingying followed awkwardly behind, keeping a considerable distance between them.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Xiao was getting married.

Stepping into the marriage registration hall, the white walls are adorned with bright red marriage slogans, and a plate of eye-catching candies sits on the table, creating a festive and solemn atmosphere.

A staff member dressed in navy blue overalls came over and asked in a warm and friendly manner.

"Comrades, you're here to register and receive your certificates, right? Please fill out this form first!"

Xiao Re pointed to the two people on his left and right, and said jokingly, "It's their wedding, it has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, she touched her lower abdomen, turned around, and prepared to go outside for some fresh air and stretch her legs.

My butt is sore from sitting in the car all the way.

The baby in her belly kicks her every now and then, probably because it's bored.

Holding the registration form, He Yingying walked in with her head down, dazed, until she bumped into the wall pillar in front of her and suddenly came to her senses.

"Ouch!"

She rubbed her aching head and looked up, and suddenly, her pupils dilated.

The tall, imposing figure in the queue ahead looks like—

"Brother Zheng?"

He Yingying blurted it out instinctively. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear. Turning around, she saw the familiar figure ahead—it really was Lu Yanzheng.

Wasn't he supposed to be on a mission out of town? How come he's in Qin'an County?

He was dressed in a dark gray Zhongshan suit, looking very proper and serious, like an official from the Discipline Inspection Commission coming down to check accounts.

After confirming it was Brother Zheng, she couldn't understand Lu Yanzheng's hints at all, and shouted even more excitedly.

"Brother Zheng, it really is you!"

He Yingying's shout startled Xiao Re at the entrance of the hall. She raised her beautiful eyes and looked in the direction of He Yingying's voice. The next moment, she froze completely, and her lips unconsciously uttered a soft sound.

"Lu Yanzheng!"

The man I hadn't seen for over twenty days suddenly appeared before me. Even in civilian clothes, he was still tall and handsome, exuding confidence and charm that was impossible to look away from.

She could no longer suppress the torment of longing that had plagued her day and night. Her heart was burning, and she rushed over, lifting the hem of her dress. She stumbled and fell into the man's strong and broad arms.

"Zhengzheng, you're back!"

"I miss you so much!"

Her soft body pressed tightly against his burning chest, pouring out all the tenderness and longing she had felt for him after so long apart.

No matter how I hugged him, I couldn't suppress the surging love in my heart.

Xiao Re tiptoed, tilted her head back, and without hesitation pressed her lips close to his red lips, gently landing them on his sharply defined jawline.

The sweet kiss was soft and tender, brimming with longing, yearning, and restless emotions.

Lu Yanzheng trembled all over, his defenses crumbling instantly. He couldn't help but embrace the woman in his arms, lower his head, and kiss her passionately.

They completely forgot that they had a mission to perform.

Until a sharp, piercing female voice suddenly rang out beside me—

"Ah Zheng! Who is she?! Why did she kiss you?!"

Lu Yanzheng then came to his senses and gently released the woman in his arms. His eyes darted around, unsure how to explain himself.

"I......"

Xiao Re steadied himself and composed himself slightly before noticing the young woman standing beside Lu Yanzheng, whose expression seemed a little off!

She was wearing a stylish floral shirt, her features delicate and her demeanor gentle, yet her face was contorted with anger, her eyes fixed on herself with resentment. Her brows were furrowed, and her angry voice trembled with a desperate sob.

"Ah Zheng, who is she? Tell me!"

Xiao Re was also eager to know the answer to this question. She suppressed the anger surging in her chest, curled her lips into a mocking smile, and glanced sideways at the man beside her with her watery eyes.

"Lu Yanzheng, are you mute? Speak up!"

"Tell her who I am!"

"Or, tell me, who is she!"

Lu Yanzheng looked down at the angry young girl in front of him, his thin lips slightly pursed, his Adam's apple bobbing incessantly. He wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he couldn't speak.

Just then, the staff at the window finished processing the registration for the couple in front of them and called out their number loudly.

"Next couple! Lu Yanzheng and Qin Shuyao! Please come forward for photos and registration!"

boom--!

One sentence struck Xiao Re like a thunderbolt!

Newbie?

Lu Yanzheng and Qin Shuyao?

It turned out that he hadn't gone out on a mission, but had instead gone out to enjoy himself with other women.

He even wants to marry this woman named Qin Shuyao and get a marriage certificate!

All the longing and love have now turned into a chilling irony! Like an icy blade piercing my heart.

All the tenderness and affection in Xiao Re's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by overwhelming anger and coldness.

She suddenly raised her hand—

"Slap!!"—A slap landed hard on Lu Yanzheng's face.

The crisp, loud slap sounded like a midnight firecracker, suddenly exploding.

It stunned everyone!

"Oh dear~" Lu Yanzheng covered his face, not having a chance to explain.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

On the other side of her face, she ate three large pancakes in a row!

The force was so strong, and the sound so clear and loud that even the onlookers felt their faces sting.

Several red handprints were visibly imprinted on Lu Yanzheng's cheeks.

Xiao's eyes were red with anger and pain, and tears welled up in her eyes but she held them back.

Her voice trembled, each word filled with overwhelming anger and resentment.

"Lu Yanzheng! You bastard!"

"You actually went behind my back and got a marriage certificate with another woman!"

"good!"

"I'll grant your wish!"

"Let's get a divorce now!"

His anger burned fiercely; those few slaps weren't enough to vent his rage.

Xiao Re clenched her fists and punched Lu Yanzheng hard in the chest again. But the bastard's chest was just too hard.

Her hands ached from pounding him, but he remained unharmed, standing there stiffly like a wall, unmoved.

Xiao Re was so angry that he buried his head and lunged forward, biting hard at the hardest part of his chest with his mouth.

"Hiss~"

Lu Yanzheng finally couldn't hold back and let out a painful gasp.
