Workers can sometimes be seen passing by the Haijiang River.

One male and one female.

The man was cold and handsome, the woman quiet and elegant. Standing there, moonlight fell on their shoulders, as if covered with a thin veil. Anyone passing by would want to hurry away. It was bitterly cold in winter, especially at night.

Although there aren't many people here, it's inevitable that I'll be recognized.

If anything unexpected happens, it would be troublesome. Besides, she still needs to sneak back. She agreed to Xu Yixue's invitation to stay here for two days in order to avoid being seen, and they are staying in adjacent rooms at the Hai Zhuang Hotel.

Seeing Chen Zean appear at the door, she instinctively reacted to close it, but he entered the room first. To prevent startling Xu Yixue, she pulled him to this riverside spot to talk.

It's nothing, I'll go back first.

Huang Minhan's answer was brief and vague, clearly unwilling to elaborate.

Chen Zean didn't force it, but just stared at her thoughtfully for a moment before speaking, "Leaving the imperial capital quietly, afraid of being found by me, and then quietly coming to Ningcheng..."

Huang Minhan's eyes flickered with surprise. She had taken several buses just to find his whereabouts.

"What are you avoiding? Avoiding me?" Chen Zeaan kept his hands in his pockets, his face devoid of much expression.

He must know that to say so.

Huang Minhan nodded, "Let's get a divorce. I was deceived into marriage by you. This is marital fraud."

Let's not talk about all that nonsense. Right now, we are divorced.

Chen Zean's lips unconsciously curled into a self-deprecating arc, his eyes narrowed deeply, "Heh... I should have known, now you probably wouldn't even want to meet me."

Huang Minhan wanted to shake her head in denial, but she thought of something and swallowed her words.

Let him misunderstand if he wants to.

Maybe this way, we can get a divorce sooner.

Seeing that she didn't deny it, Chen Zean's face turned even uglier. He pursed his thin lips and finally suppressed his temper.

I don't know what else to say to her.

After a moment of silence, Huang Minhan seemed troubled, as if she wanted to leave.

Such a realization left Chen Ze feeling as if someone had drilled a hole through his heart, blood gushing out.

"My marriage only has bereavement leave, no divorce..." He said to Huang Minhan, grabbing her hand seriously.

"You're a fraud, getting married to me under false pretenses. I didn't even know we were married! You are a liar." Huang Minhan spoke loudly, not bothering to notice the darkening of his face. She glared fiercely at Chen Zean: "You're a murderer."

Chen Ze'an raised an eyebrow with a smile, as beautiful as melting ice and snow.

"I'll grant you a divorce, only when I'm dead!"

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent as if one could feel the cold air moving.

From the first time she saw Chen Zhe'an in the night to now, 3 years later, she felt for the first time the emotion radiating from Chen Zhe'an—anger.

She let out a cold snort and left. He had originally come over to comfort her, but in the end, he could only swallow his anger and leave.
