Becoming a bride brought in to bring good fortune was only a temporary expedient for her.
Once her grandmother recovered,
it would be time for Anxin to leave the Leng family.
But before Anxin could ask for a divorce,
Leng Hongjian tossed the divorce papers in front of her.
It was exactly what she wanted.
Anxin picked them up without hesitation,
ready to sign her name.
Her easygoing manner cut Leng Hongjian to the quick.
“Anxin, are you really that eager to leave me?”
“Mr. Leng, there's no love between us. Divorce is the best choice.
Besides, someone's waiting for you. You mustn't let her down.”
Anxin hid her pregnancy and resolutely left the Leng family.
Later,
Leng Hongjian pinned Anxin against the wall,
and asked in barely restrained fury,
“Anxin, is the baby mine?”
