Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

When Si Nian heard the words "fake divorce," she almost thought she had misheard.

Lin Tinghan seemed to have already made the decision for her.

"Yes, that's it... We'll get a fake divorce first to fool my family. As long as Hengheng goes back and is added to the Lin family genealogy, and gets what he deserves, we'll remarry. By then, even if the Lin family threatens me with Hengheng again, it will be too late."

"..."

"Niannian, I'm sorry to trouble you for now, but I'll definitely find a chance to make it up to you later."

Si Nian thought there was no need to make amends, because she would not remarry him, nor would she ever get back together with him.

After Lin Tinghan finished explaining her decision, she seemed to have finally found a way to satisfy both sides and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't notice the coldness in Si Nian's eyes, preoccupied with figuring out how to deceive the Lin family.

Prior to this, he had considered the possibility of temporarily divorcing Si Nian.

However, it would be difficult to keep this a secret from the Lin family.

Because of what Si Nian's mother encountered, as long as he intervened, the Lin family wouldn't be easily fooled.

Now, Si Nian is willing to abandon her mother for him.

I even approached him and told him not to put him in a difficult position.

Then the problems that had been troubling him these past few days were all resolved.

He doesn't need the Lin family to interfere in Feng He's matter; the Lin family will then agree to let Lin Ziheng return to the Lin family.

Si Nian couldn't leave him.

As long as he deals with the Lin family and Lin Ziheng's affairs first.

He has plenty of ways to make the outside world believe that Lin Ziheng is Si Nian and his child.

Si Nian even gave up her mother and Zhou Huai for him.

They would likely agree to take another step back and publicly claim that Lam Chi-hang is their son.

Regarding Lin Tinghan's plan for a fake divorce followed by reconciliation.

Si Nian found it funny, but she felt mostly disheartened.

Lin Tinghan's so-called plans and retreats were all based on sacrificing her.

They made the decision without even asking her opinion.

Divorce her and find an opportunity to get back together.

He seemed certain that she would cooperate with him.

But no matter what, Si Nian really wants to divorce Lin Tinghan now.

If Lin Tinghan can successfully get the marriage certificate with her, it will save a lot of trouble.

It also saves the long time spent in court.

Si Nian then clenched her fist and then relaxed it, her expression quickly returning to normal.

"When are we going to get our divorce certificate?" Si Nian asked.

Lin Tinghan paused for a moment.

For some reason, when he heard the words "divorce certificate" from Si Nian's mouth, he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He avoided eye contact for a moment and replied, "It's alright, no rush. Let me settle Hengheng down first."

"Hurry up," Si Nian said indifferently.

Lin Tinghan frowned slightly, his voice deep: "Niannian, sometimes you don't need to be so understanding. I know you don't want to drag me into this, but things haven't gotten to the point where I have to sever ties with you so quickly."

"But wouldn't it be beneficial to let Hengheng return to the Lin family sooner?"

"Yes, that's true."

"It's getting late, I'll head back now. Once you're done with your work these next few days, let's schedule a time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Lin Tinghan nodded.

After watching Si Nian turn and leave, he started his car.

When Si Nian got back into Xie Jingyao's car.

The other person withdrew their gaze from following her footsteps, as if waiting for her to speak first.

Si Nian said, "I've already told him that he doesn't need to get involved in my mother's affairs, and I've also confirmed that we'll get the divorce certificate."

"When should we go?"

Si Nian suddenly turned to the side, facing Xie Jingyao.

She didn't rush to answer, but instead rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head slightly, and asked, "I've already shown my sincerity in our deal, so shouldn't Ayao reciprocate with some sincerity?"

Xie Jingyao narrowed his long eyes slightly, listening to the address he hadn't heard from her in a long time.

His Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously.

What do you want?
