Lan Ning looked at Shen Xi, her gaze unwavering. “Shen Xi, let’s get divorced. I can’t go on living like this.”
Without a word, Shen Xi stepped forward, snatched the luggage from her hands, tossed it into the car, then dragged Lan Ning inside.
Lan Ning struggled in the car and shouted, “Shen Xi, let go of me!”
Shen Xi clutched her hand tightly and forced her back to the Shen family mansion.
Once they were back at the mansion, Lan Ning grew agitated and insisted on divorcing him.
Her voice broke with sobs. “Shen Xi, I’ve had enough of this life. I don’t want to be dragged into your family’s troubles anymore.”
Shen Xi stood to one side, his face dark as he said firmly, “No. We can’t get divorced.”
Tears spilled from Lan Ning’s eyes. Weeping, she said, “I have no say in any of this. Why should I suffer because of your family’s problems?”
Seeing how miserable Lan Ning was, Shen Xi felt his resolve soften.
He suddenly realized that Lan Ning was also a victim of their marriage of convenience. She was innocent.
