Jiang Yu sat in the driver's seat, panting heavily.

Fighting is indeed good for physical and mental health.

I was so angry I wanted to kill someone just now, but I feel much better now.

She glanced at the disheveled man in the passenger seat, his face ashen, and said irritably, "What are you standing there for? Get out of the car."

Shen Chengyan pulled down the mirror and frowned deeply as he looked at the scratches on his face and the teeth marks on his neck.

Jiang Yu wasn't guilty at all: "If you dare to mess with me again, I might scratch you to death next time."

Shen Chengyan slammed the mirror shut, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her close, his eyes as cold as ice: "What are you waiting for next time? Just kill me this time."

Jiang Yu was frightened by his fierce appearance. "What, do you want to learn from your spendthrift brother and beat your wife?!"

Shen Chengyan scoffed: "Weren't you supposed to be pretty arrogant? What's with the stuttering?"

Jiang Yu, enraged and embarrassed, shook off his hand: "Get away."

Shen Chengyan withdrew his arm, his fingers twitching his tie impatiently. "How long are you planning to keep this up?"

Jiang Yu found it funny.

That jerk still thinks she's just throwing a tantrum?

"Since you've chosen to side with your mother, why won't you get a divorce? If you do, you can marry Hu Youyue, and your Shen family will all be happy."

Shen Chengyan said calmly, "So you're making a fuss about divorce to compete for my affection? You feel like I'm neglecting you?"

Before Jiang Yu could speak, he continued calmly, "I receive a constant stream of gifts during holidays, I don't flirt with other women when I'm out socializing, I don't smoke or drink if you don't like it, and I have sex with you four times a week, satisfying you every time. After doing all this, what else do you want to complain about?"

Jiang Yu found it laughable: "You're getting all proud of yourself! Aren't these things a husband should do?"

Shen Chengyan nodded: "Yes, these are all things a husband should do. So why can't you do what a wife should do: be a good wife and mother, and take care of your in-laws?"

He always had this ability to ignite her anger with just a few words. Jiang Yu roared, "Go to hell! I've been a dog in your Shen family for so many years, doing what I should and shouldn't have done! And you? What's your attitude? You're always on your mother's side, have you ever been on my side?!"

Shen Chengyan's temples throbbed with veins. He slowly turned his head, looking even angrier than she was: "If I weren't on your side, why would I go to such lengths to marry you?"

Jiang Yu sneered: "Why go through all this trouble to not even have a wedding?"

Shen Chengyan paused.

Jiang Yu turned her head to look out the car window.

She and Shen Chengyan only registered their marriage; they didn't hold a wedding ceremony.

This is why she was always ridiculed by those rich wives and heiresses.

Not holding a wedding ceremony or announcing such a joyous occasion to the world is considered very unusual and shameful in their circle.

Some families even believe that the wedding ceremony is more important than the marriage certificate.

You can hold off on getting the marriage certificate, but the wedding must be a grand affair.

The eldest son and grandson of the Shen family did not hold a wedding, and outsiders spread rumors that it was because she, as the bride, was ashamed to be out in the light of day and therefore had no face to hold a wedding.

"Not only did we not have a wedding, but I even stole the household registration book when we got our marriage certificate." Shen Chengyan stared at her profile. "You know how much my mother disliked you back then. I told you on the day we got our marriage certificate that we couldn't have a wedding, and that's how you answered me."

Jiang Yu ignored him.

Shen Chengyan pulled her over and raised his voice, which was unusual for him: "Stop pretending to be a coward, I'm asking you a question."

Jiang Yu said angrily, "Yes, I did say before that I didn't want a wedding, I just wanted you. But I don't care, others do. When people pointed fingers at me, did you ever think about how I felt?"

"So you've made such a fuss over some rumors?"

Do you know what the last straw that broke the camel's back is?

How could she possibly want a divorce just because of one issue?

There are just too many problems between them.

There are so many that they can no longer be resolved calmly.

Divorce is actually the best way to solve the problem once and for all.

Shen Chengyan's lips were tightly pursed: "Have you thought about your son? After the divorce, he will be a child from a single-parent family."

Jiang Yu said calmly, "Compared to being a child from a single-parent family, I think being a loveless, unhappy couple of parents would be a bigger blow to him."

"No love?" Shen Chengyan's eyes turned cold. "So all those times you said you 'love me to death' were lies?"

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at him. "What right does a man who would rush to save his mother if his wife and mother both fell into the water have to tell me he loves me?"

Jiang Yu overheard these words by accident.

This happened a couple of years ago. That year, there was a lot of snow. On New Year's Eve, the older members of the Shen family had finished their dinner and were playing mahjong. The younger members, who were stuck at home and bored, suggested playing games.

Shen Chengyan was coaxed into playing Truth or Dare by the group of kids. That night, Jiang Yu heard Shen Chengyan, who had lost the game, say, "Do I even need to think about this? Of course, I'd save my own mother."

To be honest, she didn't really feel anything when she heard it.

Chinese people value filial piety, so it's understandable for a son to save his mother in a crisis.

But this incident was etched into Jiang Yu's heart.

She will always remember Shen Chengyan's indifferent expression and calm tone when he said those words.

Not even a moment's hesitation appeared on his face.

That incident made Jiang Yu realize that her husband would immediately abandon her in times of danger.

This is what makes her feel bad.

The only saving grace was that I wasn't there at the time, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing.

Now, when I think about it, I feel no embarrassment or discomfort, only annoyance. The more I look at this heartless and ungrateful man, the more annoyed I become.

Jiang Yu said irritably, "Get lost, I'm going back."

Shen Chengyan remained seated: "Let's go back together."

"Drive your own car."

"The car broke down, and the driver went to fix it."

"Haha, you actually came up with such a lame excuse?"

"..."

"Hurry up and get down."

"I told you the car broke down."

"Have your assistant come pick you up."

"He's off work."

"Then take a taxi."

"Why would I take a taxi when there are plenty of cars available?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Jiang Yu was truly at her wit's end: "You surnamed Shen, is there any point in begging and pleading like this?"

Shen Chengyan said defiantly, word by word, "Of course it's interesting, extremely interesting."

Seeing her so angry she was about to lose it, yet unable to do anything about it, Shen Chengyan's lips curled into a smile.

He slowly fastened his seatbelt and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Yu: "..."

A man who's like dog shit.

I'll shoot him sooner or later.

Jiang Yu drove furiously, like a race car driver.

Shen Chengyan, who doesn't get carsick, felt his stomach churning from being shaken so much that his brows were so furrowed they could practically trap a fly.

Finally arriving home safely, Shen Chengyan hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when Jiang Yu slammed the car door shut and strode into the house.

Shen Chengyan took a deep breath, opened the car door, and got out.

He didn't go inside immediately. He stood in the courtyard for a while and waited until his stomach felt better before stepping inside.

As soon as he entered the living room, Jiang Yu suddenly threw a contract at his face: "Sign it."
