Mr. Shen, your love-struck wife doesn't want you anymore!

Jiang Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Just say what you have to say. There are no outsiders here, only you are the outsider."

"Are you sure you want me to talk to you about us at home?"

Afraid that he would bring up the topic of divorce, Jiang Yu immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go."

Shen Chengyan followed her out the door.

They didn't go downstairs; they just talked in the hallway.

This is an old residential area, more than ten years old. The hallways are not well lit and have a damp, musty smell.

Jiang Yu opened all the windows in the hallway and stood by them: "What do you want to say?"

Shen Chengyan walked over: "What was it about that you suddenly called me the day before yesterday?"

Jiang Yu looked out the window and said casually, "Didn't your assistant tell you? I accidentally pressed the wrong button."

"Is it possible to accidentally press the wrong button twice?"

"I can press the wrong button as many times as I want, it's none of your business."

"That's none of your business." Shen Chengyan didn't argue with her. "Let's not talk about the phone call for now. Let's talk about why you spread rumors about me."

Jiang Yu then turned her gaze away. "What rumors did I spread about you?"

"You said I hit you, beat you so badly you couldn't get out of bed for three days, and didn't give you any money. My aunt looked at me like a bully in the kitchen. You've completely ruined my image in her eyes."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but chuckle. "Do you feel wronged? My aunt didn't kick you out; that's already giving you a lot of face."

"My aunt really knows how to care for me, but I've already explained to her that it was a misunderstanding. She probably wants to ask you for confirmation again."

She looked relaxed, and her delicate and beautiful face was full of smug satisfaction.

She was neither confrontational, nor aggressive, nor impatient.

She looked very comfortable.

He likes this kind of atmosphere.

This felt like a return to the peaceful coexistence they once shared.

He misses those days.

He used to think that Jiang Yu couldn't live without him.

In reality, he couldn't live without Jiang Yu.

On a summer afternoon, a dry breeze blew in through the window, making the dim and humid corridor seem cool and dry, and even the noisy cicadas outside sounded much more pleasant.

Shen Chengyan's emotions softened involuntarily. "Why did you suddenly come back?"

"Come back if you want."

"How many days are you planning to stay?"

"This is my home, you can stay here as long as you want."

"Then let me rephrase the question: When are you going back?"

"I don't plan to go back."

Shen Chengyan's emotions suddenly became sullen again. "You don't want your son anymore, and you don't want me either?"

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes. "I'm not a garbage dump that takes in all kinds of trash."

Shen Chengyan immediately found the cicada's chirping shrilly. "Don't you think it's noisy?"

Jiang Yu glanced at him and said seriously, "Shen Chengyan, I really want a divorce. I don't want custody of Shen Mo. Let's part amicably..."

"We can't break up. I don't agree to a divorce."

His words ignited Jiang Yu's anger. Not wanting to argue with her aunt, she suppressed her emotions and asked, "What will it take for you to agree to a divorce?"

Shen Chengyan turned his head to look at the trees outside the window, his brows furrowed, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Jiang Yu said angrily, "Speak up!"

Shen Chengyan's gaze returned to her face, and he slowly said, "I will only consider it if you bring back all the second-hand items you sold."

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and cursed, "Are you crazy? How could you come up with such a vicious excuse! The things that were sold have already been distributed all over the world and can't be found at all."

"If we can't find it, then we won't separate."

Jiang Yu sneered, "Then you can wait to receive the court summons. When the time comes, go and file for divorce. Let's see who loses face more."

Shen Chengyan laughed indifferently: "I don't care about saving face."

Jiang Yu was speechless. "Don't you think you're being incredibly shameless right now?"

Shen Chengyan suddenly sighed, took a step forward, and used his uninjured hand to pull her up, saying in a low voice, "From now on, we'll raise Shen Mo together. If you don't want to go back to the Shen family, then don't. I'll talk to my mother and tell her not to bother you."

"If you want to have a wedding, we'll have one. We'll have it abroad, and we'll bring Auntie and Guo Yaoyao along. We can also let them travel around Europe. Didn't you say before that you wanted to take them abroad for a trip?"

"I will never let Shen Mo and Hu Youyue see each other again. I will make Hu Youyue move out of the Shen family. Even if my mother tries to stop me, I will make her move out."

"Her studio has business dealings with the Shen Group. From now on, I will find someone else to handle the communication with her studio, and I will no longer meet with her."

"And as for Shen Zhaolin, if he speaks rudely or disrespectfully to you, just slap him across the face."

"If he gets angry, tell him to come to me. Although we have a past conflict and he doesn't like me, I am still his older brother, so I can keep him in check for now."

"As for that brat Shen Mo, he is indeed very annoying now, but that's because we haven't educated him properly. He's not targeting you, he's targeting me too. In his heart, we're the ones who don't want him, and he can't feel our love."

"Give him some time and teach him properly, and he will become sensible and obedient, turning into the kind of child you like."

Shen Chengyan said a lot, and his attitude was more sincere and serious than ever before: "Is this okay? Or is there anything else you need to add? Just tell me, as long as we don't get a divorce, I can do it."

The corridor was poorly lit, but his eyes were exceptionally dark and bright.

His dark pupils reflected her image. Jiang Yu looked at his deep eyes and thought that if Xiao Yang and the security guard hadn't said those things to her, her heart would have wavered.

She tilted her head slightly, looking into the man's eyes. "Is that all you wanted to tell me?"

Shen Chengyan frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"

"Shen Chengyan."

Jiang Yu called his name softly, her gentle voice carried to his ear by the breeze: "All these years, have you kept any secrets from me, or anything I don't know about?"

Almost the instant she finished speaking, Jiang Yu saw those black pupils contract slightly.

The human pupil can change and contract under several conditions.

But she clearly understood that at this moment, his pupils were reacting so subtly because he was nervous and fearful.

The hand he was holding seemed to be sweating.

Jiang Yu stared intently into his eyes and repeated, "Do you have any secrets, or things you're hiding from me that I don't know?"
