Chapter 121 - Divorce

Don't go, don't leave over and over again, be careful.

Yu Cen Ran was such a tyrannical man. Everything he said had always been in a commanding tone. Why would she ask for advice in such a lowly manner?

Yu Cen Ran tightly hugged South Bridge. "South Bridge, can you come home with me?"

His lowliness was like a sharp dagger that stabbed into his heart, and it was suffused with indescribable pain. That heart-wrenching pain reminded Nanqiao of a deathly pale hospital, a lifeless funeral home, pure white lilies, and delicate ashes

Without waiting for a response, he slammed the door shut and slowly slid down from the front. He sat on the ground with his chest heaving uncontrollably, unable to calm down.

Tears blurred her eyes as her hazy gaze fell onto the bowl of egg soup that she had yet to finish. Perhaps this would be the last time she would cook for him, the last time that she would never be able to eat again.

She was determined enough, but she didn't expect her heart to still hurt so much. It hurt so much that she couldn't even breathe easily.

South Bridge squatted in the corner with his hands on his knees and sat quietly on the ground for a long, long time, until his tears had dried. After a while, South Bridge stood up and went to the kitchen to make a glass of milk and add some sleeping pills.

She hadn't slept well last night, and now her head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to explode. She dragged her fur slippers to her room, lifted up the quilt, and got into bed. Just as South Bridge was about to close her eyes, there was a sudden clap of thunder outside the window.

It turned out that the clear sky was completely dark, as if it were about to snow. The South Bridge sighed, walked over to the potted plant beside the bed and put it down. Unconsciously, he saw that familiar figure.

From her angle, he could see Yu Cen Ran standing downstairs. Just as he raised his head and locked eyes with her, the South Bridge immediately moved its gaze away and shut the window tightly. It was as if Yu Cen Ran was a thief.

His brows slightly moved, Nanqiao adjusted his own thoughts and laid back on the bed. He forced himself to ignore the existence of Yu Cen Ran and silently counted the number of the little sheep. One, two, three …

Even when he counted to one hundred and ninety-nine, the south bridge was still unable to sleep. It was snowing heavily outside, and it was unknown whether Yu Cen Ran had left or not.

"South Bridge, don't worry about it, don't look at it!" South Bridge continued to strengthen its resolve as it walked out of the living room while wearing a coat.

To distract himself, Nanqiao switched on the TV and stood next to the machine, randomly changing channels. He was too distracted to listen.

At this moment, the television switched to a weather channel. The host's sweet voice came out in a neither fast nor slow voice. The signal was not good, and he stuttered, "Today, we have a citizen's reaction to the lowest temperature in our city. Please be prepared to withstand the cold!"

The lowest temperature? The South Bridge swept a glance outside. With such a blizzard, it would be strange if it wasn't cold! Ha-ha. South Bridge thought of Yu Cen Ran who was standing downstairs.

In the end, he was not at ease. South Bridge slowly walked to the window to take a look, then suddenly frowned. Sure enough, he was still standing there.

Almost an hour had passed, but what was Yu Cen Ran doing now?

Without waiting any longer, South Bridge picked up an umbrella from the corner, opened it up and walked over. Step by step, she saw Yu Cen Ran's tall body covered in snow, like a real snowman.

"Yu Cen Ran, what do you want!" South Bridge stood right in front of him. Only when she got close enough did she notice that Yu Cen Ran's eyelashes had been frozen by the snow. Each eyelash was exceptionally prominent.

Angry and flustered, Nanqiao placed the umbrella over Yu Cen Ran's head. He was very tall and wanted to stand on his tiptoes. At the same time, he scolded, "Are you crazy? You don't even know if you have a car to hide in!"

Yu Cen Ran's face reddened abnormally after staying in the cold for such a long time. She reached out her hand to feel the temperature, and sure enough, she was sick again.

She didn't even know that a man with energy like an ox would find it hard to keep up with the rhythm. She sighed inwardly, but remained calm and emotionless on the surface, "Yu Cen Ran, you should go back to the Yu Family villa."

Yu Cen Ran's jaw was taut and her thin lips were pressed into a straight line. She remained silent as she quietly looked at her. Her eyes were cold and deep like a black hole, unable to be seen through.

Nanqiao spoke again, "Yu Cen Ran, you …"

Yu Cen Ran's gaze never left her face. Finally, she opened her mouth and said with a cold expression, "Whether I go back or not is my business."

The meaning behind his words was that he wasn't willing to leave.

It was freezing cold, and he wanted to stand here alone, cold and hungry, hoping that this would move her?

She had already made it very clear, South Bridge thought. She could not hesitate to take the first step. She had the courage to do so, so she should not relinquish and let all her efforts go to waste.

He opened his eyes and loosened his fingers, causing the umbrella to fall to the ground. He said expressionlessly, "Okay, then I'll go through the cold with you. Since I'm so tired of living anyway, why don't I just die."

Yu Cen Ran's eyebrows raised as he clenched his fists. Pain surged in his voice as he asked, "South Bridge, can you forget? Let's not worry about anything else …"

Hearing this, South Bridge raised his eyes and stared at Yu Cen Ran.

His face was always grave and stern, with an aloof aura that no stranger was allowed to enter. He hadn't eaten well or slept well these few days and had even lost a lot of weight, making the contours of his face seem even more deep and solid.

Yu Cen Ran's eyes were bloodshot. His eyes were black and there was a green stubble on his chin. He looked exhausted.

He held onto South Bridge's hand, his brows tightly knitted, almost begging, "South Bridge, we forgot. Let's leave this place, okay?"

His heart was thumped. The South Bridge was very shocking. Yu Cen Ran actually said that he would leave the city. If that was the case, then he would grow up here, and his foundation would be here.

To leave meant to give up everything. He didn't want anything, as long as she was by his side.

But how could she be so selfish, South Bridge thought.

The reality before him, the difficulties, the setbacks, and the family grudges that could not be resolved, seemed to have just awoken from a dream. His heart was suffused with a sharp pain, and it was extremely painful, as if someone was pulling on it.

Restraining her emotions, she lowered her head and raised it again. A bitter smile formed on her lips and determination filled her eyes, "Yu Cen Ran, I remember everything, how can I forget about it? We, you, and I can't go back. "

If something broke and could be reattached, then it would be heartbroken. That meant that there was really no way to turn back.

Moreover, his mother was the only warmth in his childhood at the South Bridge. She was an existence that was like a beacon, so how could he do it just because he forgot her?

She did not want to forget. She would not forget. She could not.

"Yu Cen Ran, I've already made up my mind to get a divorce. Please, let me go." The South Bridge did not show any fluctuations in expression. He did his best to suppress the waves in his heart.

There was no anger or willfulness in these words. Yu Cen Ran could tell that this was real. Between the two of them, they were truly finished.

But if the South Bridge allowed him to let her go, then who would let him go?

Yu Cen Ran's gaze never left the South Bridge. He pressed the call button and picked up. It was the assistant.

He didn't know what Yu Cen Ran was talking about as he replied indifferently. He then looked coldly at the South Bridge, his voice growing colder and colder. "Contact a lawyer to prepare a divorce agreement for me."

"Alright."

Yu Cen Ran hung up the phone. With a cold smile on her face, she said to Nanqiao, "Tomorrow, the divorce agreement will be delivered to you. If you sign it, we will have nothing more to do with each other."

Nanqiao, "…"

Yu Cen Ran's eyes became cold. She shifted her gaze away and did not look at the south bridge anymore. Her long legs moved, she turned around and left. She opened the door and got in the car.

The snowy roof slid down, and the black car no longer hesitated as a puff of smoke sped away.

His back was cold and indifferent, without any warmth, just like when they had first met each other on the South Bridge. Clenching his fist, Nanqiao bit his lower lip, and the tears he had suppressed for a long time finally flowed down with a 'shua' sound.

He had clearly decided to move forward confidently without turning back, but South Bridge actually hated him, hated him for not working hard enough. It was obvious that he could leave with big steps, yet his feet felt like lead, and he couldn't move even half a step.

This was the last time they saw each other. In the future, the two of them would only act as strangers. Then, how about they properly say goodbye for a while, smile at Nan Qiao, and mock at her childishness from the bottom of their hearts?

Closing his eyes and wiping away his tears, South Bridge turned around and entered the apartment building and closed the door.

Inside the car.

Yu Cen Ran was holding onto the steering wheel with her broad and sturdy back against the car seat. Her brows were tightly knitted and her expression was dark. It seemed like a storm was about to break out.

Zhou Yu Chen was sitting leisurely on the office sofa: "Young Master Yu, work hours are late, where did you go to have fun?" As he spoke, his eyes widened as he asked with a beaming smile.

However, when his eyes met Yu Cen Ran's, Zhou Yu Chen noticed something was wrong. He quickly adjusted himself and asked in a low voice, "Is something wrong with sister-in-law?"

He rubbed the center of his forehead with his long fingers and felt the weight on it. Yu Cen Ran was frustrated and ignored Zhou Yu Chen. Her long legs moved to the side of the sofa and her body sank into it.

Yu Cen Ran hadn't slept well for a few days. He didn't have the habit of sleeping, even though his sleep was shallow.

The first time had been on the day the South Bridge suddenly disappeared. He searched everywhere like crazy with no results. His body that had been tiring for an entire day was extremely tense.

It was not that he did not want to sleep. He could not sleep at all, and it was even worse than before.

He hadn't rested for the entire night. Zhou Yu Chen was still blabbering away, making so much noise that his head felt like it was about to explode! Yu Cen Ran's cold eyes swept over them. She raised her hand and bit her lips. She snappily replied, "My medicine."

Zhou Yu Chen threw over a bag of things and caught it. He picked up a cup of warm water and took a sip, "I say, Young Master Yu, can you please be a little more polite when you ask someone for help?"

"I'm getting a divorce."

Zhou Yucheng spat out saliva, almost choking to death. His eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "What did you just say?!"
