The sky was dark and the moon was hanging high, casting shadows of the trees in the distance, serene and quiet.

For the first time, Han Xiao and Jiang Nian sat quietly drinking together, and on the small balcony outside their wedding room, at that. He never imagined there would be today; he thought he would always be afraid to approach her.

But he didn’t expect that he would like a woman completely different from his previous taste.

He looked at Jiang Nian sitting in front of him. She was gentle and peaceful, and her beautiful face had a warm smile.

Han Xiao poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of her then poured himself a glass, leaned halfway on the chair, and stretched his legs in lazy elegance. He smiled helplessly. He didn’t expect his first time drinking with Jiang Nian would be the day they signed the divorce agreement.

Jiang Nian looked at him and suddenly asked, “Brother Han Xiao, you just got back from a night out- why are you drinking again after coming home? Is anything going on?”

Han Xiao had a few drinks outside, wanting a quiet environment to think. Unexpectedly, the people he was with had no long eyes and kept parading in front of him, almost stunning him with the overwhelming scent of perfume and makeup, which made his bad mood even worse. He was so annoyed that his normal past time suddenly felt exceedingly empty. It might very well be happier to watch Jiang Nian and Grandpa turn around in their wheelchairs every day.

After that, he simply left. He sat on the beach for a long time being blown by the wind and completely understood. He really liked Jiang Nian, and did not want to divorce at all. But, unfortunately, he woke up too late……

If he’d realized just a little earlier. A bit earlier!

He’d glanced at the assistant again, and the assistant narrowed his shoulders as if to reduce his sense of existence.

As for why inviting her to drink now? He didn’t want to admit it that he just wanted to find a chance to talk to Jiang Nian.

Han Xiao: “Nothing, I just want to drink.”

Jiang Nian laughed and grabbed her glass of wine to take a sip.

She sat still for a while holding her knees, and Han Xiao looked at her involuntarily. Before, he thought she was very tender and looked like a little girl. Now, she was still a little girl, but a little girl who could make his heart beat faster.

“Jiang Nian, I apologize for all the heavy words I have said to you before. I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to target you with those words; I just wanted to make you want to divorce.”

Jiang Nian hesitated then shook her head.

“It doesn’t matter, I understand.”

Han Xiao took another sip of wine and continued, “I have deliberately avoided you this year without considering your feelings. If I hurt you or made you feel sad…I’m sorry, Jiang Nian. It’s okay if you don’t accept my apology; after all, I did too much before.”

” I accept,” Jiang Nian said.

“I understand. Being forced to marry a person you don’t like as a wife would make anyone unhappy and angry. I understand.”

Han Xiao was silent for a moment, and whispered, “Before it was, but now it’s not…”

Jiang Nian didn’t hear him clearly and asked confusedly, “Hmm? Han Xiaoge, what did you say?”

Han Xiao froze, shook his head and said, “Nothing.”

Jiang Nian snorted, holding the goblet and drank the last sip before saying, “Let’s go. The drink is gone, it’s time to sleep. I will get up early tomorrow and move. What about Han Xiaoge?”

“Tomorrow…moving? So urgent?”

“Yes, the divorce agreement has been signed and we will go through the divorce procedure as soon as you have time. Since the marriage is over, there is no reason for me to continue living in the Han family. I will move to my own small house tomorrow.”

“That house hasn’t been cleaned up yet, so you can’t move in yet!”

” It’s okay, I just need some small items. I’ll just go to the supermarket to buy it. After all, I’m so rich now!”

“…… ”

Han Xiao looked at Jiang Nian and put down the cup. It was even more uncomfortable to hear that she was about to leave. He didn’t want to end things like this. Some things were better said aloud.

“Jiang Nian, I want to say something to you.”

“What’s the matter?”

She stood up, ready to find an angle to fall into Han Xiao’s arms, and play the role of a drunk beauty.

But she hadn’t stepped out yet when Han Xiao got up and strode forward to hug her, grabbing her shoulder.

“Your foot injury is not good, don’t walk around.”

……So it seems person with a foot injury can’t even send herself into his arms. She is very sad; the foot injury has limited her performance.

“I’m fine, I can take a few steps slowly!”

Han Xiao snorted, “Before your feet are good, you can’t go anywhere.”

Jiang Nian smiled, but Han Xiao felt his excuse was perfect. He smiled and rubbed her head.

“Understand?”

“Don’t understand.”

Her head was knocked.

Han Xiao bent over and hugged her. Jiang Nian wrapped her arms around his neck obediently and leaned on his shoulder, making Han Xiao feel that his heart was itchy and numb. He coughed, trying to convince himself his wild thoughts were purely because he drank too much wine.

He didn’t hold back his eyes and finally looked at Jiang Nian in his arms, but didn’t expect she was also looking at him, the black and white eyes clearly reflecting his shadow.

Han Xiao felt like he was being held in place by her eyes. He couldn’t bear to remove his sight, and his voice became hoarse, like the wind blowing in the middle of the night.

“Niannian, let’s not divorce…

…?

…Niannian?”

Jiang Nian: Right now, divorcing or not wasn’t the point; it was important to hook up with the sad little beauty in front of her!

Han Xiao felt that the hand holding his neck getting tighter and tighter, and he was pleased. Did this mean that Jiang Nian couldn’t bear to leave him? Did she still like him?

He tentatively moved a little closer and touched his lips lightly to her forehead.

She squinted her eyes without rejecting him.

Han Xiao is also a veteran in love. Of course, he can feel Jiang Nian’s connivance and acquiescence.

From forehead to cheek.

He breathed slightly, and finally kissed her soft lips.

Sweeter than he thought.

Like candy.

…..

…..

A messy bed, a quilt that was kicked under the bed.

Han Xiao didn’t expect things to develop so fast. He originally wanted to confirm Jiang Nian’s affection for him. As long as she still liked him, the divorce didn’t have to be filed. He also wanted to accompany her to fall in love. He felt, before she could completely forgive him, it was okay to stick with holding a small hand.

He didn’t expect that now…naturally he liked the way things were going now too.

Jiang Nian decided she wouldn’t let him go. He started the fire, so he should put it out.

Although she couldn’t stand it in the end, she could pamper the little cutie until then.

The bedside lamp remained lit for half a night.

****

Early the next morning, Jiang Nian was awakened by the glare of the morning sun.

She rolled over and rolled into Han Xiao’s arms. Although it was time for her to run, she fought quite hard last night. Now she just wanted to sleep lazily, forget her worries, and wait until she regained her strength to run.

Han Xiao was half awake and hugged her in his arms, glancing at the time to see it was still before seven o’clock.

He had a beautiful night last night and was already having wonderful morning. He closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

When Han Xiao finally got up, it was already 10 o’clock in the morning. When he went downstairs, he specially asked his aunt to make some black chicken soup to supplement Jiang Nian. Aunt took a look at Han Xiao’s appearance and looked at the door upstairs, and seemed to find something extraordinary.

Han Xiao was very calm. Wasn’t a couple supposed to sleep together? Was it so surprising?

He grabbed his blazer and went to work.

Han Wushao, who had a dark face yesterday, was like a spring breeze today. He was born with a handsome and extraordinary appearance. Now he had a smile on his lips and a bright look in his rigorous high-definition suit.

The little assistant still remembered Han Xiao’s tragic look at the sea last night windblown under the autumn moon. It was only one night later and he was back in full spring mode? Did he make up with Jiang Nian?

Han Xiao ’s mood was really good. He wasn’t even angry at the assistant. He was starting to think it might have been a blessing now. After all, it was only after he was stimulated by divorce that he and Jiang Nian both realized that they still loved each other deeply, leading to the harmonious night last night!

He decided to reward the young assistant with a raise…in fact, a raise for everyone in the company to celebrate his joy. After all, maybe he’d be getting remarried soon?

Not only the little assistant knew that Han Xiao encountered something good, everyone in the company knew that Han Xiao encountered something good! As for what? According to people familiar with the matter, Han Xiao was so happy because he finally divorced Jiang Nian!

“Divorced? Really fake?”

“Really, President Han also celebrated with Li Shao yesterday. He must be so happy today because they’re divorced!”

“I knew that President Han didn’t like Jiang Nian, but I didn’t expect him to dislike her so much?”

“So that’s why President Han is so happy now!”

“It makes sense, but isn’t Jiang Nian very pitiful? I heard that there is no one left in her family. What should she do in the future? Ah?”

“I heard that President Han gave her half of his net worth. Her pitiful would probably be the left-hand Hermes right-hand Prada driving a Maserati to keep a small fresh meat1” kind of pity.”

…… Sorry to interrupt. 

… For the first time, Han Xiao felt that time was passing too slowly. Even when he was on official business, he was a little absent-minded, thinking about Jiang Nian.

He wants to go home now. Wonder what Niannian is doing? Is she fishing with grandpa? Or thinking about him?

Before five o’clock, Han Xiao let himself off work in advance, and directly rejected several calls from Liu Zhengyang and Li Fei. They were the devils who disturbed his love, and he didn’t want to pay attention to them at all.

When he finally got home, Han Xiao went directly to the old man. He knew Jiang Nian’s habits. At this time, she’d be with those old people, either fishing, or playing chess or cards together. Those few boring games- only she could play with a few old people and enjoy it.

This time would be no exception.

However, this time he was wrong. He didn’t find Jiang Nian by the river and Jiang Nian could not be found in the study. The entire Han family didn’t seem to have Jiang Nian, not even the old man was around Where did they go?

Aunt Wang packed up a few big bags and saw Han Xiao standing stupefied in the open. She said, “Wushao, are you looking for the old man? He’s not living at home today, he left with Niannian earlier. He’s afraid she’ll be scared to live in the new house alone so he’s staying with her for two days.”

Han Xiao was shocked and puzzled.

“…New house? Which new house?”

Aunt Wang gave him a strange look.

“Isn’t it the small house you chose for her? I’m now on my way over to cook. The old man also let the family doctor big brother, the driver, and the janitor uncle go over as well!”

…… Why not just move the house?

It was a bolt from the blue!

He suddenly thought at this moment, was it because he celebrated too much? Should he take the salary increases back?

All employees: “…?”

Jiang Nian did not wake up until nearly eleven o’clock, took a final look at the powerful six-pack abs, and went to find an old man for lunch after breakfast. After a two hour nap after lunch, the body and spirit reached the optimal state before running.

This was probably the consciousness of being a rich person. You must have a good body to fight on the front lines of spending money.
