Galaxy Lodge.

Xiong Mingqian knew that Lu Shen had arrived in Ping City, so he asked him to meet him here. He knew that Lu Feifei was always uncomfortable when facing her elder brother Lu Shen, so he did not invite her.

Xiong Mingqian was very curious about Lu Shen’s sudden schedule in Ping City. As far as he knew, Lu Shen had no meetings in Ping City recently. Could it be that he was here for a vacation?

“May I ask the reason?” Xiong Mingqian looked at Lu Shen with a slightly probing gaze. This did not look like something Lu Shen would usually do.

Lu Shen said flatly, “Just a little private matter.”

“Got it.” Xiong Mingqian smiled and did not pursue the matter.

Lu Shen received a notification on his phone. Xiong Mingqian watched as Lu Shen’s frown gradually deepened.

Xiong Mingqian asked, “Is there something wrong?”

Lu Shen put down his phone and nodded at him. “I have to take care of some private matters. Goodbye.”

Xiong Mingqian did not stop him. “Goodbye.”

Xiong MIngqian could sense Lu Shen’s anxiety as he stood and left the venue. He suddenly felt that Lu Feifei probably did not know much about this brother of hers.

When Lu Shen returned to the hotel, Xu Yi had just ordered dinner and was eating slowly.

He looked at Xu Yi, who was eating her dinner as if nothing had happened, and frowned. He wondered if the message just now was real. Could it have been sent by mistake again?

When Xu Yi saw that Lu Shen had arrived, she put down her cutlery and stood up. “You’re here. Let’s go then.”

Lu Shen frowned. “Where are we going?”

Xu Yi said, “To get a divorce. Where else can we go?”

The moment the word ‘divorce’ came out, Xu Yi could feel Lu Shen’s intimidating aura gradually intensifying. He looked at the calm Xu Yi and said in a deep voice, “Why?”

Xu Yi said, “What do you mean, why?”

Lu Shen closed his eyes, as if he was adjusting his emotions. “Without an irreparable conflict, I don’t think that it is appropriate for a divorce.”

These words made Xu Yi feel amused. “What do you mean?”

Lu Shen said, “What I mean is that if one of the spouses is not punished by the law or one of them dies, there should not be a divorce.”

Xu Yi was shocked. Could it be that what he meant was that as long as neither of them had died or gone to jail, the marriage would continue?

Lu Shen looked at Xu Yi calmly. “Did I make myself clear?”

Xu Yi was so angry that her head hurt. Back then, they had gotten a marriage certificate overseas, not a contract to sell their bodies. How did this relationship become like a sticky chewing gum that could not be shaken off?

Xu Yi was furious. “I said I want a divorce! I don’t agree with your reasons!”

Lu Shen calmed himself down again and said, “Then give me a reason to get a divorce.”

Xu Yi was so angry that she was about to throw a tantrum. She jumped onto the sofa. “You’re having dinner with that disgusting person, yet you’re shamelessly asking for a reason for divorce? Don’t you like her? Then get a divorce. I don’t want to be a sucker every day, alright? What other reason do you need!”

Lu Shen looked puzzled. “What are you saying?”

…

Half an hour later, Lu Shen looked at the photo that Su Mu had sent him on his phone. His expression was very bad.

Xu Yi finally saw the legendary photo of Lu Shen and Ling Youyou having a date and dinner.

Just as Lu Shen had explained earlier, there were indeed not just the two of them in the photo. There were also bodyguards, assistants, and Ling Youyou’s financier.

Xu Yi was like a detective holding a magnifying glass, looking into his phone for every detail. Lu Shen looked at her and said, “Is it clear now?”

Xu Yi was finally done with the photo, and her gaze drifted away from him. “Yes.”

The truth seemed to be clear now. She knew that there was no need for him to lie to her. Most importantly, she had already seen the so-called date photo.

The atmosphere became very awkward. She had been standing on the sofa in a hysterical confrontation with Lu Shen just now. Her mind had been thinking about the peace agreement and the big lawsuit. She had not expected that this matter would turn out to be a misunderstanding.

This was too embarrassing… Xu Yi decided to continue pestering him. “Yes, it’s clear, but I can’t just let this go just like that. We’re a registered married couple after all. She’s now my enemy, and you’re eating at the same table as her. Do you care about my reputation?”

Lu Shen asked, “Your enemy?”

Xu Yi said, “She’s taking advantage of my popularity and trying to step on me to get to the top. She constantly disgusts me. She’s clearly my enemy!!”

Lu Shen patiently explained, “We just exchanged a few words that night. I did not eat with her, and I did not even drink water together with her.”

“Fine, let’s drop this.” Xu Yi pretended to be reluctant. She said, “No more next time.”

From the moment he received Xu Yi’s divorce text message until now, Lu Shen finally relaxed. He looked at the time. “Didn’t you say you were going to treat me to a meal? Are you free now?”

“Huh?” Xu Yi pointed at the plate in front of him awkwardly. “I’m almost done eating.”

Lu Shen thought for a moment and asked, “I’m going to go see a child.. Are you interested to come?”
