He wiggled his fingers and scrolled down. Finding there were only two pages, he skimmed through the content, feeling even more sorrowful. He had so many assets. If Wen Sining divorced him, she would be entitled to half of them. But she proposed to leave the marriage with nothing.
Lu Luochen let go of the papers and slumped back in his chair dejectedly. He closed his eyes, and his mind was filled with all the little things that had happened between him and Wen Sining in the past.
He opened his eyes again. Sure enough, people were always like this. They didn't know how to cherish until they had lost. He used to only see Wen Sining's flaws. He didn't realize that she would take off his clothes and cook hangover soup for him when he came back from socializing. She would also prepare breakfast for him, though not very often. She would accompany his grandfather and speak well of him in front of the old man...
She had been trying hard to be a good wife, but now it was too late.
He was such a mess. He had misunderstood her from time to time. He hadn't even given her a proper wedding, not to mention taking wedding photos. Didn't all girls have a wedding - dress dream? He hadn't fulfilled any of these for her. She must have been extremely disappointed.
As he was thinking, a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye. No, he would never divorce her.
Like a man reborn, Lu Luochen picked up the phone on the table, opened his contacts, and called Wen Sining directly.
"Beep, beep, beep..." Just as he was about to hang up, the call was answered.
"Hello." He didn't even realize his voice had become so hoarse.
"Did you see the email I sent you?" Wen Sining asked. She wondered why he hadn't replied for so long.
"I saw it. Is there really no way to turn things around?" Lu Luochen asked.
Wen Sining didn't say a word.
The two of them just quietly listened to each other's breathing over the phone.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Luochen spoke again. "Grandpa will be back today. If we divorce, how can we explain it to him?"
Lu Luochen brought up his grandfather as a last resort. Yes, if they divorced, no one would be more heart - broken than Grandpa Lu. After all, it was he who had been so eager to match them up, but no one had expected things to end up like this.
His words reminded Wen Sining. She had been so focused on divorcing him, but this was easy to handle.
"Not many people know that we're husband and wife. Even if we divorce, I'll still go back to visit Grandpa from time to time. I'll find a proper opportunity to explain things to him."
Hearing her say this, Lu Luochen felt even more uncertain. She had already thought about how to deal with Grandpa. It seemed that she was really determined.
"What should I do for you to forgive me?" He couldn't help but ask.
He heard Wen Sining sigh softly on the other end of the phone. "Lu Luochen, this isn't about forgiveness anymore. Can you stop acting like a child?"
Wen Sining really didn't understand what Lu Luochen was thinking. She had already made things clear enough.
Lu Luochen didn't say a word.
"Take a look at the divorce agreement. Is there anything you want to add? Or if you have any questions, you can bring them up." Wen Sining added.
Lu Luochen's Adam's apple bobbed up and down twice. "There is."
Wen Sining didn't say anything and quietly waited for him to continue.
"Regarding the division of property in the divorce, I'll give you half of all the assets in my name." Lu Luochen said softly. His knuckles had turned white from holding the phone too tightly.
Wen Sining didn't expect him to say this. "Okay." She agreed readily because she didn't want to get entangled with Lu Luochen any more.
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up." Wen Sining added.
After she said this, Lu Luochen didn't respond. So she pressed the hang - up button and threw the phone on the table, having no mood to deal with work.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Lu Luochen was overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness. He really didn't know what to do to win Wen Sining back. Even bringing up Grandpa didn't work.
Right, he could go to Yun Chuchu. She was the only one who could help him now. If he could persuade her to explain things to Wen Sining, there might still be hope.
Thinking like this, Lu Luochen immediately called Yun Chuchu. In fact, he had been trying to recall what had happened that night, but because he had drunk too much, he could only remember a few scattered things. He increasingly felt that he and Yun Chuchu hadn't had a relationship.
The call was quickly answered. To be honest, Yun Chuchu was really surprised to see Lu Luochen's call. She had planned to go to him tomorrow, but now it seemed unnecessary.
"Mr. Lu." She said timidly.
"Miss Yun, do you have time now? I'd like to have a chat with you." Lu Luochen wouldn't have taken the initiative to meet her if it weren't for Wen Sining's matter.
After hearing this, Yun Chuchu naturally agreed.
"Then come directly to my company now." Lu Luochen couldn't think of any other more suitable place.
Yun Chuchu readily agreed. She took out the things from a file bag, took photos of them, and then drove to Lu Luochen's company.
An hour later, the car stopped at the Lu Group. Maybe because Lu Luochen had informed them in advance, no one stopped her when she entered. She smoothly arrived at the president's office.
Jin Yihao had been waiting for her at the elevator entrance as Lu Luochen had ordered. When he saw her coming, he immediately led her to Lu Luochen's office.
When Yun Chuchu entered, Lu Luochen was standing with his back to her. Hearing the noise, Lu Luochen turned around.
"Have a seat." He walked over.
As soon as she sat down, Lu Luochen's voice sounded above her. "Miss Yun, what happened that night was just a misunderstanding. I hope you can go and explain it to my wife, Wen Sining."
Yun Chuchu didn't expect Lu Luochen to be so direct. She immediately put on the act of a victim.
"Mr. Lu, but... but we really had a relationship that night. I don't know how to explain it to your wife. If you don't believe me, I'm already pregnant with your child." Saying this, she took out the hospital diagnosis certificate from the file bag and spread it out in front of him.
"What!" Lu Luochen jumped to his feet. He clearly hadn't expected such a thing to happen. Now, he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Yun Chuchu stroked her belly.
Lu Luochen looked at the document on the table. The diagnosis result was indeed as stated. It was clearly written in black and white.
"To be honest, I've already sent the diagnosis certificate to Wen Sining." Yun Chuchu said. With the threat of the child, she didn't believe that Lu Luochen would do anything to her.
