“I’m fine!” Chen Chen replied coldly.

“Sigh, I’m really sorry to Ran Ran. It’s all my fault. I even caused you two to get a divorce…” Hu Wan said with a pitiful expression.

“Isn’t this what you want?” Chen Chen’s eyes suddenly turned cold as he glanced at Hu Wan.

Hu Wan was frightened by that look and shuddered. Chen Chen rarely ever spoke to her like this.

She lowered her head and sounded even more aggrieved. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I don’t know how much time I have left, but I really love you…”

“It’s okay. Don’t let your thoughts run wild. I never had any feelings for her. Our marriage was a deal from the beginning.” When Chen Chen saw Hu Wan’s timidness, his expression softened and he explained patiently.

“Then you’ll get a divorce immediately, right?” Hu Wan’s eyes shone.

“Yes,” Chen Chen replied casually. Looking at Hu Wan’s behavior before and after, Chen Chen suddenly did not want to stay here any longer.

However, when he saw Hu Wan’s hospital gown, he sighed in his heart. He continued to coax her patiently until she fell asleep before leaving.

After leaving the hospital, Chen Chen drove to Bai Ran’s house.

Downstairs, the lights in her house had actually been switched off. Chen Chen was a little angry and patted the steering wheel.

She was really happy! How could she be sleeping well?!

Chen Chen took out a pack of cigarettes in frustration and lit one up. He puffed out smoke rings and finally felt a little better.

He rarely smoked. Unless he was really upset, he was unwilling to use smoke to relieve his emotions.

Early the next morning, Bai Ran put on her clothes and planned to go for a morning run. Now that she was at the advertising company, being a model took a lot of stamina. She had to train her body more, or she would not be able to keep up.

When she reached downstairs, she saw Chen Chen’s car.

Bai Ran was a little confused. She saw that Chen Chen was really inside.

“What are you looking at?” Chen Chen said coldly with two large dark circles under his eyes.

“You didn’t sleep last night? Why are you here?” Bai Ran asked.

“I couldn’t sleep. I was just taking a breather. You sure slept well!” Chen Chen glanced at Bai Ran.

“Of course. I’m very happy that we can finally get a divorce.” Bai Ran smiled proudly, not noticing that the person opposite her had an extremely ugly expression.

“Yes, since you’re so happy, then go now!” Chen Chen opened the car door. “Get in!”

“It’s still early in the morning! Which Civil Affairs Bureau opens so early?” Bai Ran pouted. Was he waiting here just to get a divorce with her as soon as possible?

“Are you in such a hurry? Why don’t you sleep in the car first and wait for me to finish my morning run?” Bai Ran said.

“Who’s the one in a hurry?!” Chen Chen scratched his head in frustration. “Besides, I’m not sleeping in the car. I’m going upstairs to sleep.”

“Upstairs? You’re going to my house?” Bai Ran was a little hesitant.

“It’s not like I haven’t been there before!” Chen Chen was speechless. “Besides, I still have to remind you that we haven’t completed the procedures yet. Your home is my home! Why can’t I go and lie down for a while?”

As Chen Chen spoke, he opened the car door and prepared to get in. Bai Ran followed behind.

“Aren’t you going for a morning run?” Chen Chen turned around and asked curiously.

“You’re going to my house. How can I still be in the mood to run?” Bai Ran replied unhappily.

“You make it sound like I’m a thief if I go to your house,” Chen Chen complained. “I don’t care about your belongings!”

Bai Ran did not speak and continued to follow him.

“You’re really guarding against me like I’m a thief!” Chen Chen replied speechlessly. “Give me your key! I’ll go up myself!”

“No! I want to go up with you!” Bai Ran followed behind silently. She thought to herself that he didn’t care about her belongings, but she would be embarrassed if he saw her stuff.

Although Bai Ran was really happy holding the household register last night, she was also really sad.

She was happy that she finally did not have to face Chen Chen anymore. She was also sad that she would never be able to face Chen Chen again.

She took out a box that had been placed since she was young. It was filled with things related to Chen Chen. There was a receipt from when Chen Chen bought her food, a small gift from Chen Chen… and countless heartfelt letters that she had written for him.

Bai Ran flipped through them one by one, recalling them over and over again. In the end, she finally decided to let go of Chen Chen. She planned to bury these things after settling the follow-up with Chen Chen. She would bury all her love for him all these years and live her life well from then on.

Therefore, this box was openly placed in her living room!

As long as Chen Chen went in, he would see it immediately!

Although Chen Chen had always known that she loved him, letting him see these things was simply a social death!

Therefore, Bai Ran had to follow!
