Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Pan opened a small suitcase, packing her clothes and documents with simplicity. Just as she had moved in, now she was leaving, and things were as they had been.
She didn’t take a single thing they had bought after getting married, because nothing belonged to her.
Stepping out of the bedroom, she barely had time to close the door before the doorbell rang.
Shu Pan opened the door to find Lavvyer Chen standing there, wearing glasses and holding a briefcase.
“Please come in, Lawyer Chen. You’ve gone through the trouble,” Shu Pan stepped aside, allowing Lawyer Chen to enter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mrs. Gu, you’re too polite,” Lawyer Chen was slightly uncomfortable. After all, he was here to bring the divorce agreement for her to sign, and it was quite a demanding agreement.
“Lawyer Chen, you can just call me Shu Pan. I won’t be Mrs. Gu much longer, ” Shu Pan smiled bitterly.
Lawyer Chen took a seat on the sofa, opened the briefcase, and took out a few sheets of paper. “Ms. Shu, take a look at this agreement. Is there anything that needs to be modified?”
Shu Pan scanned the agreement briefly. There were dozens of clauses in all, and without hesitation, she picked up a pen and carefully signed her name.
“Ms. Shu, aren’t you going to look through it carefully? If there’s anything unreasonable, you can raise it, and we can discuss it,” Lawyer Chen, who had been a lawyer for a long time, had never tried to persuade someone like this before. It was as if he was worried she might be taken advantage of.
He wasn’t worried about his client being taken advantage of because the agreement was quite harsh on the female party. He had also been working with Gu Shaoting for a long time, and he knew Gu wasn’t usually this stingy. However, now he was drafting such a strict agreement for his former wife, which was truly beyond belief.
He found it hard to bear.
“No need, it’s fine,” Shu Pan exerted all her strength to sign each letter of her name, as if she wanted to poke a hole in the paper.
Her fingers tightened slowly, and her long eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly. “Lawyer Chen, thank you for your kindness. I have no objections to the agreement. I’ve signed it. Please take a look.”
Lawyer Chen took the agreement, feeling like it weighed a thousand pounds. He felt like he was doing something wicked.
Suddenly, the sound of a ringing phone shattered the silence.
“Hello, Mr. Gu, how are you… Oh, I see. She signed it already… No,” Gu Shaoting, worried that Shu Pan wouldn’t sign, had called her specially.
Shu Pan acted as if she hadn’t heard. It was all over.
Numbness came from prolonged pain. The three-year marriage finally came to an end.
After Lawyer Chen left, Shu Pan also left.
Back in the office, she was already late.

Shu Pan ignored her, opened her computer, and began to draft her resignation letter.
She had lost her enthusiasm for this job, and after stumbling upon those two’s affair, she couldn’t pretend it didn’t matter.
Looking at MO Qing’s perfectly made-up face, with wavy hair that had been styled, Shu Pan couldn’t help but wonder why, in the same position, doing the same job, MO Qing had so much time to primp herself.
“So, how was it? The other day, I saw you getting into Mr. Su’s car. Where did you go? I heard Mr. Su got married. And his wife is a stunning beauty, right?” MO Qing looked at her with a strange smile.
“Just ordinary friends. Our relationship isn’t as deep as yours with the director,” Shu Pan hinted.
MO Qing’s face suddenly turned red and then white. She glared at Shu Pan, then turned on her heels and walked away.
After finishing the resignation letter, Shu Pan walked into the boss’s office.
The boss initially thought she was resigning because of the failed design competition, but upon learning about her situation, approved her resignation. However, he made it clear that the company’s doors would always be open for her. These words moved Shu Pan deeply..
