CHAPTER 323: CHAPTER 315: THE DIVORCE CERTIFICATE IS FAKE, THE MARRIAGE IS INVALID_2

"Tan Qing." Wen Nuan slightly lowered her head, placing the notebook on Tan Qing’s desk: "I’m returning Joe’s notes to you. My resignation period is over."

Tan Qing stood up from his seat, walked over to her side, and looked down at her with a worried gaze: "I said my phone would be on 24/7, so why didn’t you tell me about such a big issue?"

"I..." Wen Nuan was at a loss for words. When she returned from Milan, before she got on the plane, Tan Qing told her that if Leng Yan wasn’t being good to her, she should tell him immediately.

She agreed, yet she still didn’t do so. She didn’t want to treat Tan Qing as a harbor in the storm because of her issues with Leng Yan. She didn’t love Tan Qing, and that wouldn’t be fair to him.

"How did you find out?" Wen Nuan couldn’t answer his question, "Did my older brother tell you?"

"Yes, I just talked to him. He asked if I arranged for you to temporarily leave your job in N City." Tan Qing took a deep breath: "Nuannuan, the day after tomorrow Lin Xue will have a task to go to the fashion branch in E City for design guidance. Her job will be very busy, and I hope you can assist her for a while. If you still want to resign after returning, I won’t stop you."

"Okay, I’ll go." Wen Nuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Leaving N City is currently the best choice. If possible, she’d like to directly complete the divorce procedures, then stay in E City and find another job, or perhaps return to France to study.

Today, Tong Xi called, saying she was going to confront Leng Yan, which Wen Nuan had stopped her from doing. Tong Xi will soon return to France and asked if she wanted to go together. Leaving N City, the city filled with his presence, was the only way to heal the emotional wounds. Wen Nuan said she’d think about it and would get back to Tong Xi.

In the evening, when Wen Nuan came out of MT, the outside was dazzling with neon lights. She declined Lin Xue’s offer to drive her and watched Lin Xue’s car drive away. Just as she was about to flag down a taxi, her wrist was suddenly gripped tightly, and a familiar male scent wafted towards her, causing her to frown deeply: "Let me go!"

"Please come home, Nuannuan, I’m begging you to come home with me." Leng Yan’s pleading voice trembled slightly as he held her hand even tighter: "Let’s not divorce. I’ll find a way to handle things with Ji Wei."

Wen Nuan’s heart trembled: "Didn’t she leave yet?"

"I can’t find Ji Wei. She’s left this place." Leng Yan painfully hugged her: "I’ve sent many people to look for her, and there should be news soon. Nuannuan, can you give me some time?"

"I’m sorry!"

Wen Nuan forcefully pushed him away, holding back tears in her eyes: "Tomorrow at nine in the morning, I’ll be waiting for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau!"

She had long known that Li Qiu would protect Ji Wei and not let her abort the baby. Indeed!

Giving him time to find Ji Wei? If someone wanted to hide and not be found, it was all too easy. By the time they found her, the baby would probably be born.

The last time her indecisiveness had already hurt her, and though she felt sorry for Leng Yan, she had to harden her heart this time. Instead of waiting until the child was born and conflicts kept escalating between them, ruining each other, it was better to leave some beautiful memories. At least when looking back, she and he could remember that they were in love...

Watching Wen Nuan quickly leave, Leng Yan ran after her, enduring the stomach pain from not having eaten all day, but ultimately, he was too weak to continue. He looked at her silhouette, frowning bitterly: "Tomorrow, I won’t go."

"I won’t soften my heart again." Not daring to look back, hearing his sorrowful voice, she feared that one more glance would make her too tender-hearted to go through with the divorce. Wen Nuan almost bit through her lip with the final words. She ran again, not daring to stop until she reached Leng Ye’s apartment building.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

When Wen Nuan entered, she saw Leng Ye was also there, and she was taken aback.

Leng Ye placed a cup of warm water in front of her: "Nuannuan, are you sure you want to divorce?"

"Yes." Tear brushed her cheeks as Wen Nuan responded.

It seemed like she could hear Leng Yan’s sorrowful voice again...

"Tomorrow, I said to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. But, he said he wouldn’t go..." Sitting on the sofa, her shoulders trembled from sobbing, as did her long legs, unable to stop shaking.

Leng Ye extinguished his lit cigarette in the ashtray, his gaze locking onto her eyes:

"If you and Leng Yan are going to separate, I can help you, but Nuannuan, I don’t want this to be known as something I mentioned. After all, I’m part of the Leng Family, and the reason I’m helping you is because I don’t want to see you continue to suffer like this."

Leng Ye’s demeanor today was very different from his usual amiable self, and the ambiguous words he said left Wen Nuan more astonished: "What exactly is it? Big brother, you never spoke like this before."

Leng Ye looked at her, his expression appearing rather troubled: "Actually, there’s no need for you and Yan to divorce."

Clatter!

The cup in Wen Nuan’s hand slipped from her palm. Although it didn’t break, it splashed water all over her. Without bothering to wipe it off, her eyes shone with shock and disbelief: "Are you saying... there’s no need for a divorce?"

Her voice seemed not her own, and her body felt a sense of exhaustion.

"Last night you said the wedding photo on the certificate was a composite, and then you gave it to Lawyer Yan to contact someone familiar at the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle it. Lawyer Yan has been the company’s legal advisor since I was three years old; he watched me grow up. Tonight at dinner, he drank too much and inadvertently mentioned your marriage."

Wen Nuan’s lips turned colorless, and she couldn’t say anything, only listening while Leng Ye continued: "Your marriage certificate was faked by Dad. It has no legal effect. Because when Yan was going to France, Dad was afraid he’d escape marriage, so he pulled this trick. He made him think he was really married to you in the legal sense, forcing him to return. The reason he didn’t want you two to officially get a certificate is that he feared your relationship wasn’t solid enough and that once you learned the truth, it would be easy to break up. He planned to reveal this after you had a child."

Guoguo kept mentioning that the marriage certificate was composed photos, not written without basis, haha.

There’s more tonight, around six or seven o’clock.
