Outside the window, dark clouds covered the sky, but there was no sign of rain.
Ning Bo stood in front of the french window, feeling even more depressed in his heart. Annoyed, he loosened his tie in an attempt to suppress this moment of panic.
A few light knocks on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Enter."
"Here's your delivery." The secretary placed a courier on his desk and stood quietly by the side, waiting for instructions.
Ning Bo's gaze fell on the courier in front of him and casually waved his hand. Only when the door closed did he pick up the courier. A hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.
There was no sender's information on the courier, so it did not seem like a normal business deal.
A few pieces of paper fell out. The words' divorce agreement 'were written in large letters and stood there, filling his eyes.
He didn't have the time to think about it and quickly turned to the last page. Her beautiful handwriting was the same as her personality, which made him feel even more incredulous.
Ning Bo had never thought that Xu Pailan would divorce him. It was like a bolt out of the blue.
"Could it be that she knows about it?" He lowered his eyes as he was shocked. There was a trace of panic in his eyes.
"..."
"Have you decided?" A cold voice sounded out, breaking the silence of the room.
Xu Peilan was dazed for a moment before she nodded her head resolutely. If it wasn't painful, it was a lie. All these years of love, it wasn't that it didn't exist, but she really couldn't accept that Ning Bo had betrayed her.
Ning Anlan's expression relaxed, no longer as tense as before. His hand did not slow down in the slightest. He could not afford to stay in this house any longer.
"It's been hard on you all these years." Xu Peilan's eyes were moist, but she held back her emotions. He touched Ning Anlan's slightly cold hands, his heart feeling even more bitter.
Ning Anlan shook his head. He had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but fortunately, he had the chance to repeat it. What happened in his previous life would never happen again in this life.
It was unknown when it started to rain, but there was a growing trend. A familiar car stopped outside the window. Ning Anlan could clearly feel her movements pause, but she didn't say anything.
"Peran!" Ning Bo was carrying droplets of water on his body, and he looked more like he came back in a hurry. Perhaps he had his own thoughts as well.
Xu Pailan put down the clothes in her hands and looked at him. There was no warmth in her eyes.
The rain had dampened his hair and made him look miserable. A trace of ridicule flashed past Ning Anlan's eyes. Heh, he was quite willing to give it up. However, she didn't say it out loud. There were some things that needed her mother to think through herself.
"What's the matter?" Xu Peilan's indifferent voice rang out. Unlike her usual soft and gentle voice, she seemed to have become much sharper.
"Where are you going?" Ning Bo took a step forward. His eyes inadvertently turned to Ning Anlan, and he slightly clenched his fists.
Ning Anlan leaned against the wall, amused. His body revealed an absent-minded look, making him seem even lazier.
"You've already received the divorce agreement, so what does it have to do with you where I go?" Xu Peilan looked at him indifferently, as if she understood a lot in an instant.
Ning Bo's actions were quite a bit of acting. It seemed like he was just trying to use his soft heart to pinch Mo Wuji and achieve his goals.
"I wouldn't agree." Ning Bo tore the contract in front of them and casually threw it on the ground.
"Heh, is that all? I don't want all of us to look bad. Xu Peilan's expression was cold. Looking at his exasperated expression, she felt even more despondent in her heart.
"An Lan, you go out first." Ning Bo suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Ning Anlan with unfriendly eyes.
Xu Peilan frowned slightly. She subconsciously hid Ning Anlan behind her, "Anlan will stay here."
Ning Anlan slightly raised his brows. He never thought that his mother would be so stubborn. However, this was very much to her liking.
"Why did you drag her into our business?" Ning Bo's tone became more and more impatient. He kept feeling that he was losing more and more face.
"She is my daughter. What else can I not tell her?" Xu Pailan was getting more and more disappointed. She had really misjudged him at that time.
Ning Bo frowned. His mind was getting more and more muddled, but he definitely couldn't leave this marriage.
Ning Anlan looked at it all indifferently. It was over just like that? Where did it come from so simple? The good show had just begun.
"Mom, have a good chat." She suddenly opened her mouth and gently patted Xu Peran's trembling hands to comfort her. Her attitude today was already shocking enough, this was even easier.
Xu Peilan gently nodded her head. It was best not to let her daughter know about such dirty things.
When Ning Anlan passed by Ning Bo, the corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking smile.
"Alright, An Lan has already left. What do you want to say?" Xu Peilan watched as the door slowly closed. Only then did she set her gaze on Ning Bo with her deep and serene eyes.
"We can't divorce." He couldn't just let her go like this. As long as he didn't sign her name, she would still be his wife.
"Heh, don't you think it's too late to say all this now? Do you really think that no one knows what you did with Fu Yajing? " Xu Peilan was so angry that she laughed instead. What right did he have to order her now?
Ningbo was about to step forward and pull Xu Peilan back, but he was gently turned around and dodged the attack. Ye Zichen's finger paused in the air, while his expression froze.
"I know I was wrong. You will forgive me this time." He pulled his face down and apologized to Xu Perlan. For the first time in years, he bowed his head.
Xu Pailan's hand that was holding the zipper paused for a moment, but she quickly picked up her luggage and walked out. Her attitude was even more resolute.
Ning Anlan carelessly threw a grape into his mouth. A ghostly light flashed in his eyes. He smiled as he looked at the phone in his hand.
"Come here." Her white fingers casually pointed at a servant. She had a good impression of this person.
"Miss, do you need anything?"
"Want to call, right? "Don't play tricks on me. After all, I have a bad temper." Ning Anlan fiddled with his fingers casually, his eyes filled with iciness.
This person had always followed Fu Yiyi's lead in his past life, and was also one of their spies here. If he didn't make good use of it, wouldn't he be wasting this pawn for nothing?
Trembling, she picked up the phone and, under the immense pressure, dialed a number.
"Hello, what's the matter?" The person in front of him was obviously impatient, calling him at this moment was truly irritating.
"Master and Madam are arguing."
"What are you doing?" Ning Anlan's voice rang out just in time, cutting off what he was about to say.
Before Fu Yiyi could react, she had already hung up.
