"From the start, I think we should get a divorce!"

When Sheng Tingye's voice came from behind her, Chu Xin was searing a steak.

The hot oil sizzling splashed onto my cheeks, but I didn't even feel the pain.

"Between us, there's only the name of husband and wife, but not the feeling. Now that four years have passed, it's time to end it."

His voice was cold and aloof.

Chu's heart bit her lip.

The day has finally arrived...

Four years ago, the Chu family went bankrupt. Unable to bear the burden, Chu's parents jumped from a building, leaving behind a mess for Chu Xin to deal with alone.

The grandfathers of Chu Xin and Sheng Tingye were comrades-in-arms who had gone through war together. Grandfather Chu had once saved Grandfather Sheng's life on the battlefield.

At the brink of death, Old Master Chu was most worried about his granddaughter. So he entrusted Chu Xin to Old Master Sheng.

Thus, there came to be this marriage that was a misnomer.

But, at some point unknown, she had crossed a boundary in this marriage. She had given her heart completely and utterly away.

She thought, time was on her side. As long as she played the role of a good 'wife', one day, he would come to love her truly.

As a result, what awaited them was a divorce!

"I'll give you four hundred million dollars plus a penthouse in Long Beach as compensation. This is the divorce agreement. If there are no objections, just sign here."

Sheng Tingye passed a stack of files to Chu Xin with an impassive expression, his brow furrowed as if discussing a business deal.

At first, she received the agreement and looked at the string of numbers.

Four years, four hundred million.

The Sheng family is still as wealthy and generous as ever.

"Can't you bear to part?"

At the start of their agreement, her gaze fell upon the man before her.

This man, whom she had loved for four years, had a face that was strikingly handsome, a tall and imposing figure, and he was always so serious and reserved.

Out of reach, like a flower on a high mountain.

"Indispensable."

Sheng Tingye's indifferent tone held no hesitation whatsoever.

My heart, a little stung.

But her nature has always been one of independence, not a typical housewife.

Since one is banging their head against a wall, getting bruised and bloodied, it's time to turn back.

It's over, four years of marriage for 400 million. Worth it either way!

"Okay, I agree."

She held the pen and quickly wrote her name on the agreement.

Sheng Tingye was a little surprised.

In my memory, this woman has always been gentle and weak, indecisive like a little white rabbit with no ability to survive.

At this moment, it's quite carefree.

It's strange, not quite right.

"I'll let you know the registration time. If possible, you better move out tonight."

Sheng Tingye ignored the displeasure in his heart and said coldly, then turned and left the villa.

It was obvious that he wasn't here to discuss the divorce with her, just to inform her.

That night, the maid who usually didn't have a good face for Chu Xinzhi, knowing that Chu Xinzhi was forced to divorce, became even more arrogant.

He just threw her luggage out of the villa.

"You woman, you sucked the Sheng family dry for four years and finally got kicked out. You deserve it!"

On a bitterly cold night, Chu Xin knelt on the ground, picking up his scattered clothes in utter disarray.

At that moment, the sound of a car stopping came from behind. A tall woman got out of the car.

"Ms. Lin, you're here! It must have been a tiring journey."

The housemaid, who had been loudly expressing her excitement and awe moments ago, now eagerly stepped forward to help the woman with her luggage.

Lin Yirou raised her chin, not looking at anyone: "Be careful, my things are very expensive, you can't afford to pay if they break."

On the side, Chu Xin's body stiffened and she instantly understood.
