Mr. Lu, stop being such a jerk. Your wife is your nemesis's white moonlight.

Chapter 16 Book me a plane ticket to Bincheng right now!

Xu An'an had just returned to her room when Su Xiaohan called her via video.

"An'an, how are you? Are you adjusting well to life on set? Are you tired?"

Xu An'an smiled and said, "It's alright. These past few days have just been for script readings. Filming will start in a few days."

"Shouldn't you talk to the director about it? You just had surgery..."

"Don't worry, Miss Su, I'm completely fine now. Besides, this play is all dialogue, there aren't any dangerous scenes."

Hearing Xu An'an say this, Su Xiaohan felt relieved, but then hesitated and said, "An'an, Lu Yiming just came to my house and asked me where you were."

Xu An'an paused, her smile fading. "Oh, you didn't tell him, did you?"

"Of course! I'll do as you told me and say I don't know." Su Xiaohan was a little annoyed.

"An'an, why won't you let me talk to him! I really want to give him a good scolding!"

Xu An'an gently shook her head. "Xiaohan, this is between him and me. I don't want to involve you."

"Besides," Xu An'an sighed, "I already gave him a chance to explain himself face to face, but he didn't want it. Adults always have to bear some consequences for their actions."

Su Xiaohan recalled Lu Yiming's pale and cold expression just now, "Come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever seen Lu Yiming like that..."

In their circle, Lu Yiming has always been the most outstanding among his peers since childhood.

He was refined, gentlemanly, calm, and composed.

It seems that no matter what happens, he remains calm and confident of victory.

But it was only when she saw those bloodshot eyes outside the door that she realized for the first time that Lu Yiming could also lose control.

"He's just too angry right now; he'll think things through after a while." Xu An'an gave a self-deprecating smile.

"They already have a child, so for him, divorcing me is the best option. Maybe in a couple of days, he'll even thank me for taking the initiative to solve his huge problem!"

"An'an... don't say that," Su Xiaohan felt very bad.

"Hey! I'm fine," Xu An'an wiped her face and flashed a carefree smile at the screen. "Do you know how many handsome men and beautiful women are in the crew? I don't have time to think about these things!"

"As for the divorce, I have entrusted Attorney Ho to handle everything for me."

Xu An'an looked up at the clock on the wall.

By this time, Attorney He should have already contacted him.

...

"Mr. Lu, this divorce agreement is very favorable to you in terms of property division and other aspects. Ms. Xu does not want to take any of your property or shares."

Attorney He gently adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and steadily pushed a document to the center of the table:

"Please take a look first, and we can discuss any issues you may have."

"Where is she?" Lu Yiming pushed the documents aside, his eyes fixed on the calm-faced man in front of him.

He took the earliest flight back, had his assistant buy flowers and gifts, but when he got home, all he found was a cold divorce agreement on the table.

Lu Yiming had never been so angry before.

Just because he didn't come home last night, Xu An'an wants a divorce?!

What did she consider their marriage to be?!

"I'm sorry, Ms. Xu did not authorize me to inform you of her schedule." Attorney He said meticulously, his hands clasped together. "She asked me to convey to you that she will not meet with you until you sign the agreement."

"You won't see me?" Lu Yiming sprang from his seat, his hands slamming onto the table, his jaw trembling slightly with intense anger. "We're husband and wife! She thinks she can just refuse to see me?!"

He had been searching for Xu An'an for most of the day, going to every place he could think of, but he found nothing.

He was blocked on phone and WeChat, and now they're even sending a stranger, a lawyer, to threaten him.

Isn't Xu An'an being too willful?

"Mr. Lu," Attorney He raised his head slightly, his voice still very steady, "The Marriage Law only stipulates that both spouses have an obligation to be present when finally registering for divorce. So, yes. As a person with full legal capacity, Ms. Xu has the right to choose not to meet with you during this period."

"But our relationship is more than just husband and wife!"

Lu Yiming suddenly thought of something, he sat back down in his chair, and straightened his cuffs with a cold expression:

"I am now holding a shareholders' meeting, and as a shareholder of the group, she must attend."

Upon hearing this, Attorney He smiled politely and calmly pulled out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase. "Ms. Xu has entrusted all her shares to me for management. Furthermore, she has voluntarily resigned from her position as CEO, and the executive departure audit and other necessary procedures have been completed."

"Therefore, legally, Ms. Xu An'an has no obligation to be responsible to anyone at present."

Lu Yiming's pupils contracted as he looked at the document in front of him in disbelief.

After a while, he picked up the stack of papers and turned the pages one by one.

He flipped faster and faster, and his breathing became increasingly heavy.

How could this be...?

When did An'an do all this...?

Is she really going to leave him...?

His knuckles were white from excessive exertion, and a chilling coldness spread along his spine.

For the first time, Lu Yiming felt a chilling fear.

Attorney He slowly rose, her face remaining completely expressionless. "Mr. Lu, I fully understand your feelings right now. But in all my years of practice, I've never seen a divorce agreement this generous."

"Ms. Xu's behavior can be described as leaving with nothing; her only request is to get a quick divorce."

"So, Mr. Lu, if I may be so bold, you should sign it as soon as possible. Dragging it out will not benefit anyone."

"This is my business card. Please feel free to contact me when you've made up your mind."

After speaking, Attorney He nodded slightly and turned to leave.

In the spacious reception room, Lu Yiming sat frozen in place, like a sculpture whose soul had been taken away.

...

As dusk fell, the streetlights outside the window came on.

It was an unknown amount of time before Lu Yiming slowly regained his ability to think.

No, it won't happen...

An'an will not leave him...

This must be fake...

What did that lawyer just say?

Leaving with nothing?

How could An'an possibly leave with nothing...?

He had witnessed so many wealthy marriages where the couples fought tooth and nail over shares...

If they really get divorced, how could she possibly want nothing at all?!

--right!

Will not!

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he jumped up, grabbed his car keys, and sped back to Maple Garden Villa.

I ran up the stairs, taking two steps at a time, and almost tripped on the steps.

The door to the walk-in closet was flung open with a "bang."

--really!

Only then did Lu Yiming's blood begin to flow again.

An'an's clothes were still neatly arranged inside.

Jewelry and accessories are also there.

An'an was just scaring him!

He leaned against the cabinet door, his arms supporting his knees, and breathed heavily, finally regaining some of his composure.

During this period, the two did indeed spend very little time together.

An'an must be dissatisfied with this, which is why she did this to get his attention.

All she wanted was for me to comfort her.

Yes, that's it.

Having finally found a foothold for himself, Lu Yiming let out a long breath.

All we need to do is find her.

His phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket, and he answered it.

"Mr. Lu, all the surveillance footage you requested has been prepared. After Ms. Xu left home in the early hours of the morning, she got into a black Bentley with license plate number Bin A99999. According to road surveillance footage, the car's destination was the airport."

Bin A99999?

Can this license plate number be used in Bincheng?

—The Yan family?

Lu Yiming narrowed his eyes dangerously:

"Book me a plane ticket to Bincheng immediately."

"Get it done right away, the sooner the better!"
