Seeing that Chu Jiang was unmoved, Bai Yun pursed her lips and pulled her sleeve to wipe her tears. Knowing it was hopeless, she said, “Fine, I’ll sign it then.”

Bai Yun took the well-prepared divorce agreement and flipped through it. Chu Jiang was really generous—he even left her a house and 10 million yuan. “How generous, Chu Jiang.”

“A little compensation. After all, I’m also responsible for the failure of this marriage. As for the house, you’ve been living there anyway. It’d be too much work to clean up.”

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Bai Yun shook her head and signed her name. Even though Chu Jiang was so rich, generous and had great upbringing, the female lead actually took a fancy to the male lead who was rude and domineering. She really had poor taste.

After signing the papers, the ward began to fall silent. Chu Jiang was reading the script on the sofa while Bai Yun held her stomach, which was still aching, and looked at the ceiling. In a while, Chu Jiang’s assistant would come to pick up the divorce papers and settle the discharge procedures for her.

If in silence one did not perish, one would explode. Bai Yun was not someone who could tolerate silence. She was about to speak when Chu Jiang’s assistant knocked on the door and entered. Bai Yun snorted softly and turned over to pretend to sleep.

Not minding Bai Yun’s presence when they spoke, the assistant briefly reported the aftermath of last night’s club incident, informing Chu Jiang that Director Yuan was still lying in the ward. His flesh injury was not serious, but he still needed to recuperate.

Bai Yun originally thought that there would be some scenes involving the female lead, but there was no mention of the female lead in their conversation. It seemed that her shoulder throw had completely changed the meeting and love line between the female lead and Chu Jiang.

It was a good sign.

Bai Yun opened her eyes and looked at Chu Jiang, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes lowered and reading a script. Even if he was just sitting, he still maintained his composure.

She couldn’t imagine such a proud person getting disfigured, then into a car accident, and finally suffer the pain of being burned alive because of the male and female leads. Meanwhile, the male and female leads would have a happy ending.

Brainless author.

How was Chu Jiang inferior to the male lead?

In terms of family background, the male lead, Yuan Cong, was not bad. He was also the president of a film and television company that he had started from scratch. However, Chu Jiang was the son of a high-ranking official, and his parents were powerful characters in the political and business circles respectively.

In terms of conduct, the series of crimes committed by the male lead to stand up for the female lead in the later stages were too many to be counted. As for Chu Jiang, he was polite and distant to everyone in the original novel, displaying the good upbringing of a gentleman. In terms of looks, please, he was a Best Actor with more than ten million fans!

Perhaps because her gaze had lingered for too long, Chu Jiang sensed it and looked up. After taking off his glasses, he pinched his glabella and said, “It’s about time. Pack up and get discharged.”

“Are you sending me home?” Bai Yun asked him curiously. “But we’re divorced, Mr. Chu.”

“A man should not let a lady go home alone at night.” He asked his assistant to pack up the script for him and straightened the creases in his shirt from sitting too long. He enunciated the two words slowly, his tone amused. “Miss Bai.”

Bai Yun’s heart itched from hearing him call her ‘Miss Bai’ in his deep voice. She jumped off the bed and put on her shoes. “Sorry to trouble you.”

Because Chu Jiang’s identity was too conspicuous, he went down to the garage first while she and the assistant settled the discharge procedures before slowly descending the elevator.

Bai Yun habitually wanted to pull open the back door, but after some thought, she went around to the front passenger seat. Chu Jiang didn’t seem to like the original Bai Yun, so it was better not to squeeze into the back row with him. She was about to get into the car when Chu Jiang interrupted her. “Come to the back.”

Even though there was no immediate sense of command in those four words, she didn’t quite dare disobey.

After all, she had just accepted a house and 10 million yuan from him.

She climbed into the back row dejectedly, and saw that there was an exquisite food box in the middle of the back row. Bai Yun was a person who was good at ignoring the atmosphere. Even though she had just gotten a divorce and had just been driven to the back seat, she was not embarrassed at all. “Is this for me?”

Clearly tired after the events of last night, Chu Jiang was resting with his eyes closed. Still, he answered her, “Mom specially asked me to bring it for you.”

Bai Yun opened the food box to reveal small and exquisite desserts decorated with a few white flowers. How exquisite.

She took out a small cake and took a bite. It tasted good too and was perfect for comforting her ravaged stomach.

“Would you like one? Your mother’s a good baker!”

Chu Jiang finally opened his eyes at this moment. His mother had cooked for Bai Yun before, but for some reason, Bai Yun never touched those food boxes. Every time his mother asked about Bai Yun’s preferences, he could only answer that she thought it was good. However, most of the food had actually gone into his mouth.

As he watched Bai Yun eat heartily, he suddenly realized that all through three years of their marriage, he had never seemed to understand her, including that shoulder throw in the club’s private room.
