"...That's not what I meant."

But to be honest, this unpredictable man really makes it impossible to guess what he's thinking.

Even though it wasn't the final step, Jane didn't dare to completely relax.

On the contrary, the closer she got to the end of the matter, the more anxious and fearful she became, holding her breath and not daring to relax at all.

"I'm leaving." Yu Yunting suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

Jane Ailing immediately stood up from her seat and quickly followed him out.

They were lucky today; there wasn't much traffic on the way, and they were able to arrive at the Civil Affairs Bureau on time.

There weren't many people in line, and it was their turn soon.

The process was simpler than Jian Ailing had imagined. After the two filled out the application form, Jian Ailing submitted the documents she had prepared in advance for the staff to review.

"Your divorce application has been accepted. Please keep the receipt safe. Starting today, you will enter a 30-day cooling-off period during which either party may withdraw the application. Within 30 days after the cooling-off period ends, both of you must return to complete the divorce registration process. If you fail to return within this timeframe, the application will become invalid," the staff member reminded you.

"Understood." Jane Ailing nodded repeatedly after receiving the receipt.

It seems that this is not a one-time solution; she must get through the next 30 days safely.

However, this is already a huge leap forward!

Jane looked down at the receipt, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

"I have some things to pack up, but don't worry, I'll move out tonight," Jane said as they walked to the front of the car.

"Suit yourself." Yu Yunting coldly opened the car door and got in without looking back.

Jane stood there, watching the car disappear into the distance.

Today, Yu Yunting was as cold as ice.

I guess I really offended him with what I said yesterday.

But whatever, she'll be her ex-husband's man soon, so whether he's angry or not is none of her business, as long as he's willing to cooperate and complete the formalities.

Jane Ailing took a taxi and returned to No. 16 Yunsong Bay.

"Madam, why are you back so soon?" Aunt Lü saw Jian Ailing and Yu Yunting leave together this morning and thought they were going somewhere together, but she didn't expect her to come back so soon.

"Oh, Aunt Lü..." Jian Ailing raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at Aunt Lü, "You don't need to call me Mrs. Yu anymore, I've divorced Yu Yunting."

"What?" Aunt Lü's eyes widened as she stared at the woman in front of her in shock.

But Jian Ailing's expression was calm, and there was even a faint sense of relief and reassurance on her face, so she didn't seem to be lying.

Aunt Lü knew that the couple's relationship hadn't been good lately, but she never expected that they would end up getting a divorce.

They didn't divorce when their relationship was even worse, so why did they suddenly...?

"Aunt Lü, don't look at me like that." Jian Ailing raised the corners of her mouth and gave Aunt Lü an apologetic smile. "I'm very grateful for your care over the past few years. I should have given your Old Yuan something, but I really don't have much money left..."

"Madam, please don't say that. It's just my duty." Aunt Lü looked at Jian Ailing with some sadness, but she quickly composed herself. "Then, do you need my help packing your luggage?"

"No need." Jane took out the keys and placed them next to the cabinet in the entryway. "I'll only take a few things. I'll need you to clean up the rest."

Aunt Lü nodded, "You can leave these to me."

Upon returning, Jane realized she had forgotten to take some things. Luckily, she had an extra suitcase in the room. She packed the few essentials she needed, and that was about it.

There were still many clothes and shoes in the room, but she didn't plan to take them. Anyway, her current job didn't have a strict dress code, and she could make do with a few formal suits and dresses.

Moreover, Zhu Yan's home was only a temporary place for her to stay, and Jian Ailing could not possibly regard it as her own home completely.

Thinking about it this way, she really is now homeless.

It's actually quite pitiful to think about.

Every choice inevitably comes with a corresponding price, something she had anticipated long ago, so Jane Ailing didn't suffer for too long.

Having helped Yu Yunting pack his suitcase a few times during business trips, Jian Ailing now found packing her own luggage quite easy. She was grateful for her previous experience, which allowed her to organize so many things neatly and put them into her small suitcase.

"Heh, in the end you were still kicked away by your brother." After Jian Ailing finished closing her suitcase, a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind her.

She turned around and saw Zeng Ying behind her.

Zeng Ying, wearing a dark brown coat, lowered her eyes, crossed her arms, and looked down at the woman in front of her who had just finished tidying up with an arrogant air.

"Weren't you showing off in front of me last time? Didn't expect it, did you? Getting kicked out of the Yu family is that easy." Zeng Ying sneered. "Don't think you can be so smug just because Grandma likes you. Unlike you, no matter how big a mistake I make, Mom and Dad will forgive me. I will always be a part of the Yu family."

Jane stood up, looking at the smug and disdainful woman in front of her with a calm expression.

She wanted to defend herself, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she thought better of it.

Yu Yunting has been quite angry with her these past few days. If she were to spread this kind of thing around, it would probably only make him angrier.

Let's save him some face. After all, it's him, not her, who will be facing the Yu family in the future. She just needs to leave him and the Yu family smoothly; there's no need to continue causing him trouble.

Moreover, even if she told Zeng Ying the truth, she probably wouldn't listen and would only feel that she was desperately trying to save face.

"You got the information pretty quickly. Did Xiao Lin tell you?" Jian Ailing recalled seeing Xiao Lin and Zeng Ying whispering in the parking lot earlier, guessing that he was Zeng Ying's source of information about Yu Yunting.

"You're right, you'll always be a part of the Yu family. So just continue to be a good daughter and a good sister. Even if I leave, the position of Mrs. Yu will never be yours."

Zeng Ying's eyes changed slightly, and she quickly revealed a cold smile. "That has nothing to do with you, you stray dog. Get out of here. This is not a place for you."

She walked into the room, looked around, and admired everything with satisfaction.

Even though it was the place that woman had lived, moving in would still bring bad luck. But if she really came here, she could get closer to her brother.

"Jane Ailing, when are you moving out?"
