Chapter 1152 They Are Divored
Qie w.a.n.g and Yan Shanyue got divorced very quickly. The procedures were conducted very smoothly.
Qie w.a.n.g finally realized that the marriage was over when he held the signed divorce papers in his hands.
Yan Shanyue felt very relieved after the divorce. “Qie w.a.n.g, take care of yourself in the future. I’m leaving.”
Qie w.a.n.g asked, “Shall we have one last meal together?”
“No, I have an appointment tonight.” Yan Shanyue rejected his offer.
“With who?” Qie w.a.n.g asked anxiously when he heard that Yan Shanyue had a date.
“A few of my painter friends. They were discussing whether to hold a charity exhibition after the new year. Some of my paintings have been chosen for the event.”
“Then I’ll give you a lift to the restaurant.” Qie w.a.n.g offered. Yan Shanyue looked at Qie w.a.n.g intently. “Qie w.a.n.g, I have never done anything wrong to you during our marriage. I am not that sort of person. I am also not interested in what went on between you and Li Zhiwei. I just think that our marriage was a mistake. You don’t have to be suspicious of anything or anyone else. Take care.”
Qie w.a.n.g stood at the stairs, watching Yan Shanyue as she walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. His heart ached so much that he could not breathe.
She was no longer his wife, and they no longer had any legal obligations toward each other now. She was now his ex-wife and the mother of their kids.
Qie w.a.n.g’s suddenly phone rang. He looked at the caller and said, “Zhiwei.”
Li Zhiwei’s voice sounded very anxious. “Qie w.a.n.g, I heard that you have divorced Shanyue. Is it true?”
“Yes, I’m at the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Qie w.a.n.g knew that he had to bear all the responsibility for the failure of his marriage. He could not blame Li Zhiwei. She had nothing to do with it.
“Qie w.a.n.g, I’m sorry. I always feel this is all my fault. I’ve caused you so much trouble all these years. I’m so sorry.” Li Zhiwei had become Qie w.a.n.g’s habit after so many years. He could not drop her all at once. He was used to having her in his life and doing everything to protect her.
“Zhiwei, it’s not your fault. I’m just not in the mood to talk to you now. We’ll talk another day.”
“All right then. Please let me know if you need anything.”
Qie w.a.n.g went home to an empty house. The house was normally warm and cozy. It was a perfect home, but it now looked lifeless. Qie w.a.n.g felt really depressed and lost hope in everything.
Ye Tianxin received a call from Yan Shanyue that evening. She wanted to ask if Ye Tianxin could be her model.
Soon after, Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang went to meet her and her painter friends at the restaurant.
“Tianxin, I’m here.” Yan Shanyue waved to Ye Tianxin as she saw her approaching.
Li Qingcang turned to Ye Tianxin. “I’ll pick you up later. Take care and be safe.”
“All right, Qingcang. I know.”
The restaurant was a well-known eatery in the capital. It was frequented by many artists. Yan Shanyue introduced Ye Tianxin to her friends. “Do you know who she is? She’s the best new artist of the year, Ye Tianxin. She has many fans. I was thinking that if I paint a portrait of her, it would fetch a very high
price.”
Ye Tianxin greeted Yan Shanyue’s friends politely.
“h.e.l.lo everyone, nice to meet you.”
“That should not be a problem. The purpose of the exhibition during the new year is to raise funds for charity. With Ms. Ye supporting our cause, I’m sure we will have more donors.”
“All right. It’s confirmed then. Tianxin, I will discuss the details of the portrait with you later.”
