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

Attorney He was indeed professional. After a brief discussion with him, Xu An'an received the drafted divorce agreement the next day.

When Lu Yiming called, Xu An'an was checking the terms and conditions one by one.

"An'an, you've finally answered the phone?" Lu Yiming was unusually displeased.

"I was busy before and didn't see it," Xu An'an replied casually.

"Calm down now? Not being difficult anymore?"

"Yes, I'm very calm now," Xu An'an said, taking out a pen and making a new note on one of the items. "I won't cause any more trouble in the future."

"Good girl," Lu Yiming said with satisfaction, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow, and I'll take you to 'Jun Ting' tonight."

"the day after tomorrow?"

So fast?

Xu An'an complained for the first time that Lu Yiming's business trip was a bit too short.

"No way," Xu An'an said, giving a reason she had already prepared: "Xiaohan is going to shoot some footage soon, and I need to go with her to the north."

Miss Su is a self-media blogger; this reason is truly flawless.

Lu Yiming was somewhat displeased, but remained noncommittal. "Going out for some fun is fine. When are you coming back?"

"It's not certain yet," Xu An'an said, not wanting to waste any more time with him. "I'm not going to talk about it anymore, the plane is about to take off. Bye."

He hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

...

at the same time.

Ningcheng, a thousand miles away.

Lu Yiming looked at the phone that had been hung up on again, feeling a strange sense of unease.

But Xu An'an felt something was different today.

He's probably still angry that he didn't celebrate his birthday with her.

Yes, Xu An'an loves him too much.

For the past five years, Xu An'an has made careful preparations for all his birthdays and anniversaries.

His sudden departure on her birthday must have really saddened her.

—But it's okay, I can just go back and coax her.

Xu An'an loves him so much, how could she bear to really hold a grudge against him over such a small matter?

An'an is the best girl.

Seeing Lu Yiming's uncertain expression while looking at his phone, Lin Wan'er affectionately shook his arm:

"Yiming, are you worried that An'an will find out?"

Leaning gently against Lu Yiming's chest, Lin Wan'er said softly, "I know you still resent me for what happened before, but I..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming frowned almost imperceptibly, interrupting Lin Wan'er with a slightly unnatural voice.

"What happened before is in the past, let's not bring it up again."

Seeing Lu Yiming's displeasure, Lin Wan'er's eyes darkened, and she didn't dare to continue. After a moment's thought, she changed the subject, "Brother Yiming, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you... This child is a gift from heaven. Right now, I just want to give birth to him. After I've settled things at home, I'll take the child abroad... I won't bother you..."

At this point, Lin Wan'er choked up.

Her watery eyes looked at Lu Yiming, appearing pitiful.

Lu Yiming couldn't bear it, so he raised his hand and patted Lin Wan'er's trembling back. "Alright, Wan'er, don't cry. It's not good for the baby."

"Just focus on your pregnancy now," Lu Yiming said, putting his hand down. "I will take full responsibility for both the child and the Lin family."

Although that night was a mistake, since Wan'er became pregnant, it must be fate.

It's just an illegitimate child; in their circle, it's nothing new.

With his current abilities, he can handle everything perfectly well.

As for An'an

Lu Yiming narrowed his eyes.

He wouldn't let her know.

......

Su Xiaohan was not joking when she said she would take care of Xu An'an.

The young lady felt extremely guilty because of her mistake, which had dragged Xu An'an, who had just been discharged from the hospital, into a whole mess.

So he took even better care of her, hiring three nannies and staying by her side every step of the way.

Xu An'an was used to being self-reliant and was not used to this kind of 360-degree care.

When Su Xiaohan asked her for the fifth time one morning if she was thirsty or hungry, Xu An'an finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"My dear Miss Su, please stop your magic tricks!" Xu An'an helplessly pulled Su Xiaohan, who was circling around her like a bee. "I'm really fine now. Didn't you hear about that guy when you were little? Painless abortion, you can go to work the next day! I've recovered for so many days, I'm already full of energy!"

Su Xiaohan was amused by her, but she was still a little worried. "But..."

"No buts," Xu An'an said, pulling Su Xiaohan to sit down beside her.

"Besides, with you staring at me like that, I can't concentrate on reading the script!"

Seeing that Su Xiaohan had finally relented, Xu An'an pressed her advantage.

"So relax and get back to what you're doing! You haven't updated in so many days, your fans are starting to nag me about it."

Su Xiaohan finally agreed to go out and attend to her work. After giving her repeated instructions, she left the house, turning back to look at herself every few steps.

After seeing Su Xiaohan off at the door, Xu An'an nestled back onto the sofa, picked up the milk tea Su Xiaohan had just made for her, and took a sip.

It was her favorite Ceylon, and the warm current soothed her heart. Xu An'an sighed contentedly.

Although Xiaohan was spoiled since childhood and seemed loud and boisterous, she was actually very thoughtful.

I am so fortunate to have a friend like Su Xiaohan.

Xu An'an picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message: "I've had my milk tea. Miss Su, keep up the good work and earn more money! Otherwise, you'll be dragged home to inherit the family business!"

Su Xiaohan replied very quickly with an adorable cat punching emoji.

Xu An'an smiled, put down her phone, picked up the half-open script beside her, and continued reading.

"Breaking the Cocoon" is indeed a good script.

It is a story about Chen Nian, a girl from a rural village, growing up with difficulties and finding herself.

As expected of a great screenwriter, Xu An'an quickly got into character.

Immerse yourself in the story as Chen Nian and experience her joys and sorrows.

When the phone rang, Xu An'an was watching a scene where Chen Nian was in despair and contemplating suicide.

Deeply immersed in grief, I didn't react for a moment.

After regaining her senses, Xu An'an hastily wiped away her tears, cleared her throat, and then answered the phone.

"Hey, Dongdong, what's up?"

Dongdong is Xu An'an's assistant. She used to follow Xu An'an on set when she was filming. After Xu An'an retired from the entertainment industry, she took Dongdong with her to handle her daily schedule.

"Sister An'an, the contract has been finalized. The production team would like to ask about the specific time when you can join the crew."

"Okay, let me think about it..." Xu An'an flipped through the calendar, calculated the time, "It'll be the 15th of next month..."

--Um?

Xu An'an was taken aback.

What a coincidence!

I had calculated the time for postpartum confinement according to the doctor's instructions, and that day was the 28th day after my miscarriage.

However, this day was also her wedding anniversary with Lu Yiming.

"Sister An'an? Are you joining the crew on the 15th of next month?"

"Oh," Xu An'an realized what was happening, thought for a moment, sighed, and shook her head.

"Fine, the 16th then."

It just so happens that she also wanted an opportunity to formally clarify things with Lu Yiming face to face.

Filed for divorce on their wedding anniversary

How can it not be considered a kind of beginning and end?

Xu An'an gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Dongdong, book me the earliest flight on the 16th."

After explaining everything, she left, thus preventing Lu Yiming from bothering her any further.

"Understood," Dongdong replied briskly, then hesitated slightly, "Sister An'an... there's something..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing serious. It's just that at the signing ceremony, Mr. Yan from Yanyu Media came, and he seemed quite angry when he saw you weren't there..."

"Huh?" Xu An'an was a little confused. "What's he doing here?"

Logically speaking, since both parties have already reached a cooperation agreement, the so-called signing is just a confirmation of some minor terms.

If Xu An'an weren't in her current situation, she would have gone to the scene. But why would Yan Heng, as the esteemed investor, attend such a trivial meeting?

Moreover, Yanyu Media is just a small branch of the Yan family's vast business system. Is Yan Heng really that free?

"What did you say to him?"

"I'll do exactly as you taught me," Dongdong repeated, not daring to be careless, "Ms. Xu has other arrangements today, and the specific details of the contract have been handed over to the studio to handle."

"That's right, and then what?"

"After I finished speaking, President Yan's face looked even worse!" Dongdong looked innocent, as if she was about to cry. "Sister An'an, you have no idea, the whole office froze... I didn't even dare to breathe loudly... President Yan is so scary..."

Xu An'an shuddered as she listened to Dongdong's description.

Indeed, she had experienced this feeling of not being able to breathe a few days ago.

But in front of Dongdong, Xu An'an didn't want to admit that she was also afraid of Yan Heng.

So, keeping her voice steady, she comforted him, "It's alright, Dongdong, we didn't do anything wrong!"

"As for Yan Heng..." Xu An'an gripped her phone, pursing her lips.

"He's been angry since he was a child!"
