Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 521: Chapter 521 They Really Got Divorced_1
 

“So, she and I are still married, correct? Grandfather, can I see the marriage certificate?”

He had never glanced at the marriage certificate when they got married, and now he was eager to see it.

He had no idea what a wedding certificate looked like, but he decided he would keep it safe and never take it out again.

Ruan Anguo did not move. He sighed and said, “Unofficially, you two didn’t divorce then. But I still had Lawyer Huangfu finalize the process.”

The smile on Ruan Tianling’s face froze immediately, and the joy in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

He was stunned for two seconds before asking uncertainly, “So, you’re saying, Jian Yufei and I are officially divorced?”

“Correct.” Ruan Anguo opened the drawer and handed him two real divorce certificates. “Tianling, I gave you the opportunity to pursue Yufei. But then you insisted on getting engaged to Yan Yue. I figured, forcing you two together might end up hurting you both. So, I went ahead and got you the divorce papers.”

Ruan Tianling took the two divorce certificates with a sense of loss and discomfort he couldn’t put into words.

He had thought that he and Jian Yufei were still married, and he wouldn’t have to find a way to marry her and keep her by his side for the rest of his life.

However, they were truly divorced, and his sense of hope faded.

“Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”

“What difference would it have made if I had? Even if I had told you then, you still would have gone on to divorce her.”

Ruan Tianling pursed his lips, looking very unpleasant. He held onto the divorce certificates tightly, feeling their heaviness, as if they were his death sentence…

Jian Yufei leaned against the head of her bed, her legs curled up.

She hesitated for a moment with her phone in her hand before eventually dialling Ruan Tianling’s mobile number.

The man was driving down the road when he saw that she was calling. He didn’t answer, choosing instead to remain silent.

They were not married anymore, they were truly divorced. She would probably be relieved to know, but he felt anything but relief.

His phone kept ringing since he didn’t answer.

Ruan Tianling pulled the car over to the side of the road. “Hello?”

“Ruan Tianling, how did it go? Are we divorced or not?” Jian Yufei asked impatiently.

Ruan Tianling tightened his grip on the steering wheel, unable to suppress his irritation. “Do you really hope we are divorced?”

“You’ve always known how I feel.”

Indeed, her attitude had always been clear—to escape from him, to keep away from him. She seemed like a devout believer, steadfastly holding on to a belief that no one could break.

Ruan Tianling rolled down the car window, allowing the cool breeze to billow in.

The neon lights of A City flickered in the evening; many who lived here felt a sense of rootlessness. At that moment, he too felt a lack of belonging.

“Are you still there? What’s the outcome?” Jian Yufei asked impatiently when she didn’t hear his voice after awhile.

Ruan Tianling squinted his tired eyes and replied stone-cold, “Rest assured, we are no longer married.”

Jian Yufei let out a long silent sigh, yet was inexplicably silent.

Perhaps she was influenced by Ruan Tianling’s mood, so she didn’t know what to say.

After a moment of silence between them, it was Ruan Tianling who hung up first. This was the first time he hung up on her after their divorce.

Jian Yufei put her phone away and took out a small bag of medicine.

It was what Xiao Lang had secretly given her when he had pulled her aside earlier.

She opened the phone that Xiao Lang had given her, and sure enough, a text message had come through.
