Chapter 44 - Divorce Storm (2)

Lan Jinyao didn’t have many scenes in A Thousand Years Of Tears, so, other than her part at the beginning of shooting, she now had some free time. After a day of rest, Lan Jinyao dragged Li Qi to the Bureau of Civil Affairs. Along the way, Li Qi had a complicated expression on his face.

As they were headed to the Bureau of Civil Affairs, Li Qi asked, “Isn’t this the way to the Bureau of Civil Affairs?”

Then, when they’d arrived at the office building, Li Qi spoke again, “I already have someone I like! You can’t take me away by force; I won’t marry you.”

Lan Jinyao shot him an indifferent glance and said, “You overthinking things, I’m already married. I’m here today to handle the divorce procedures.”

At that moment, Lan Jinyao’s expression was slightly melancholy. The last time that she’d come here was to register her marriage certificate with Fu Bainian not too long ago. She would’ve never thought that she’d be returning so soon. She still remembered the girl from before who’d seemed to be smitten with Fu Bainian, and the words she’d said to them before they left: you’re welcome back any time! Who would’ve thought that young girl would so correctly guess their fate. Perhaps, when people saw them, they could tell that they weren’t right as a couple!

Li Qi’s eyes widened upon hearing her say that she was here to get a divorce. He turned his head to look her straight in the eyes as he asked her, “Divorce? Who are you divorcing? Could it be Fu Bainian? Damn, you two actually got a marriage certificate? I thought that the wedding ceremony was held because you’d forced him. Hence, Fu Bainian stood you up!”

He asked again, “How come there was no gossip about it?”

Lan Jinyao glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, and said, “When we registered our marriage certificate, it was all very low-key, and only a few people knew about it. So, how could you have known? It wasn’t until the wedding ceremony that the whole world knew.”

When she said the latter part of her sentence, her tone was obviously different.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Li Qi comforted her. “It doesn’t matter! If the old doesn’t leave, the new will be unable to arrive. Come on, cheer up. Maybe there’s someone better waiting for you on the road ahead.”

The two of them waited in the car for a good long while, but Fu Bainian still didn’t appear. Then, Li Qi suddenly asked, “Did you inform Fu Bainian about this in advance? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”

“I called him this morning, and he said that I have to wait a little longer. He has something important to deal with first. So, let’s wait!”

“Alright, I’ll accompany you and wait, but I hope that President Fu won’t stand you up again.”

Lan Jinyao: “...”

Blue Hall Entertainment headquarters, President’s office.

Fu Bainian was staring fixedly at his cell phone. His cold and stern face was currently full of anxiousness. A minute hadn’t yet passed, but he picked up his phone again, pressed a button to redial, and asked the person on the other end, “How long will it be before you get here?”

The person on the phone was also anxious, and responded, “President Fu, it’s currently rush hour, and it seems like there’s a traffic accident ahead, so the road is blocked. I can’t say how long it’ll be until I get there. Please wait a little longer.”

Fu Bainian hung up in irritation. Then, putting the phone down on the table, he continued waiting anxiously.

The results would come out soon, and the thoughts in his mind were continuously increasing. He was born with an instinct that made him unbeatable in the business world, and he believed in his instincts.

All he had to do was wait a little longer, and he would know the truth.
