Volume One, Chapter Two: A Divorce Agreement
Page 1/3
Shen Yuwei’s eyes darted anxiously. “Ye Tian, I know you’re angry, but don’t just spout nonsense. You were the one who hit someone and killed them—don’t try to pin it on me.”
“All right, all right!”
Hearing Shen Yuwei’s feeble excuses, Ye Tian almost laughed in disbelief.
Three years.
He had spent three years in prison for her.
With such a sacrifice, he had hoped to earn Shen Yuwei’s genuine affection.
But in the end, he was mistaken.
All his sincerity had been wasted.
Now he realized some people have no heart.
They take others’ kindness for granted, never considering anyone else’s feelings.
Shen Yuwei, his wife, was wearing casual home clothes with another man, sharing their marital bed.
At that moment, Ye Tian’s heart was filled with an unbearable sorrow.
“Brother Botao, you have to believe me.”
Shen Yuwei turned to the handsome man beside her, urgently explaining, “It wasn’t me who caused the accident. It was him. Ye Tian is slandering me.”
“I believe you, Yuwei.”
Su Botao wrapped his arm tightly around Shen Yuwei’s waist, his smile warm.
Their eyes met, filled with sweetness.
Shen Yuwei felt a warmth inside.
How wonderful.
Brother Botao believes me.
He’s so handsome, and such a gentle, caring man!
I adore Brother Botao!
But Ye Tian’s heart chilled.
He remembered who this man was.
Su Botao—top graduate of Yan University, Shen Yuwei’s senior schoolmate, and her first love.
But later, Su Botao went abroad on a government scholarship, and they lost touch.
Ye Tian knew Shen Yuwei had never forgotten him and still treasured his letters.
He hadn’t minded at the time; after all, everyone has a first love—someone you can’t have—but no need to dwell on it.
What he never expected was that during his three years in prison, the two would rekindle their past.
It was utterly outrageous.
Su Botao, with a teasing smile, held Shen Yuwei close and said to Ye Tian, “So, you’re Yuwei’s husband?”
“You probably don’t even know who I am.”
“Let me introduce myself. I’m Su Botao, graduated from Yan University with a bachelor’s degree and from MIT with a master’s.”
“We met when Yuwei was a freshman, so technically I came first. But then I went abroad, which gave you the opportunity.”

“To put it bluntly, you’re just a replacement.”
“Now that I’m back, I’m taking back everything that belongs to me.”
“Oh, and by the way, during your three years in prison, I was the one taking care of Yuwei.”
“You don’t even know how capable Yuwei is, do you?”
“I’ll tell you—through her own efforts, she’s built the company step by step until its market value surpassed a billion.”
“What have you contributed to Yuwei? You weren’t even around.”
“Now you’re out, expecting to reap the rewards and inherit billions? Life isn’t that easy.”
Su Botao looked down at Ye Tian with disdain, speaking condescendingly, “Face reality. You’re a convict; you’re not worthy of Yuwei.”
“Yuwei is beautiful and kind-hearted—you aren’t even worthy to lick her toes.”
Hearing Su Botao’s arrogant proclamation, Shen Yuwei’s eyes sparkled.
She loved Su Botao’s dominance and confidence, as if everything was under his control.
This was true masculinity!
Ye Tian was just a stay-at-home husband who would always hide behind others.
So weak, utterly unworthy of her.
Su Botao kissed Shen Yuwei on the cheek and said arrogantly, “You saw what’s going on between me and Yuwei.”
“To be honest, she no longer belongs to you.”
“If you sign the divorce papers, you’ll get five hundred thousand. Quite a good deal, isn’t it?”
Shen Yuwei hesitated.
It was too cruel to Ye Tian.
Just released from prison and immediately divorced.
She worried Ye Tian wouldn’t accept it so easily.
Su Botao looked at Shen Yuwei with affectionate eyes and a gentle smile. “Yuwei, don’t you want to be with me openly and proudly?”
Hearing that, Shen Yuwei’s defenses crumbled.
Indeed, Brother Botao should be the man by my side!
My true love will always be Brother Botao!
She smiled sweetly, “Brother Botao, I’ll follow whatever you say.”
After speaking, she ran to the bedroom, took out the divorce papers, and placed them in front of Ye Tian.
“You’re still my husband in name, so I won’t be too cruel. If you sign, you’ll receive a million and a Mercedes.”
“This money will be enough to secure your future.”
Heh.
The divorce papers were ready.
Ye Tian was utterly resigned.
“All right, I’ll let you have your way.”

He gritted his teeth and said slowly, word by word, “As for the money, I don’t want a single cent.”
Shen Yuwei looked shocked. “Are you crazy? You have no savings and have been in prison—how will you live?”
“Still clinging to some so-called pride, hoping Yuwei will think highly of you?”
Su Botao raised an eyebrow, sneering, “Pride will only make you suffer.”
“As for how I live from now on, you two needn’t worry.”
Ye Tian swiftly signed the papers, threw the divorce agreement onto the floor, and turned to leave.
Shen Yuwei picked up the papers and glanced at them, somewhat surprised.
“I didn’t expect him to sign so readily. None of the plans we prepared were needed.”
Su Botao waved dismissively, wearing an indifferent expression.
“Maybe he finally realized the huge gap between you two and saw no point in dragging it out.”
“Perhaps.”
Shen Yuwei said so, but inside she felt empty.
As if she had lost something precious.
Something she could never get back.
No matter what was lost, as long as Brother Botao was by her side,
everything was worth it.
“No more talking about him.”
A sweet smile appeared on Shen Yuwei’s face. “The divorce papers are signed—you can finally appear openly in front of everyone.”
“Tonight, the Li Group is hosting a banquet attended by Jiangcheng’s wealthy elites and celebrities. I’ve received an invitation too.”
“At this event, I’ll publicly declare that you are my man.”
Hearing this, Su Botao’s face showed a touched expression. “Wife, you’re so wonderful.”
Shen Yuwei blushed deeply. “I’m not your wife yet, don’t call me that.”
“Soon enough.”
Su Botao smiled proudly. “Come on, wife, let’s go get our marriage certificate.”
Shen Yuwei’s cheeks flushed crimson as she reluctantly nodded.
Back in the bedroom, Shen Yuwei changed clothes. From the window, she saw several luxury cars parked below in the residential area.
Curious, she wondered how much those cars were worth altogether—a few tens of millions, at least.
Who could afford such a grand display?
A tall, imposing man descended from the building and sat directly in the middle Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The man’s back gave her a strange feeling of familiarity.
A bold guess sprang up in her mind: “That man… looks like Ye Tian.”
