Chapter 197: The Divorce Agreement

In May, Jing City was met with its rainy season.

The recent weather has been erratic, just like a person’s irritable mood, unpredictable with its mix of sun and clouds. Just a few hours ago the sky was clear, but in the blink of an eye, it started pouring, and pedestrians outside the coffee shop who had forgotten their umbrellas hastened their steps to head home.

The fine rain was swaying with the wind outside the window, lost in the grayish sky, like beads slipped from a string, continuously pounding onto the moist ground, splashing considerable water droplets.

Jiang An was sitting in front of the window, staring at the now empty streets outside, slowly stirring a cup of white coffee that had already gone cold. She glanced at the time displayed on her phone screen.

It was already four in the afternoon; she didn’t realize that she had been sitting here, unknowingly waiting, for nearly two hours.

Turning back, she looked at the empty seat opposite her, sighed, and then walked out of the coffee shop.

The rain fell steadily, and the temperature dropped. Jiang An opened her lake blue umbrella and stood by the roadside for a few minutes before hailing a taxi.

She folded the umbrella, stepped into the car, took out her phone, and looked at the conversation box that still had no new messages, a sudden bitterness washing over her heart.

Another uncertain cancellation, another familiar scene, without even a reason.

She didn’t know what she was still expecting.

-------------------------------

At seven o’clock in the evening, several patients’ families were sitting anxiously outside the operating room, awaiting news.

Before long, the "In Surgery" sign dimmed, and the door of the operating room slowly opened from inside.

Dr. Gao Chuan, dressed in white, stepped out first, and the worried families crowded around him to inquire about the situation.

The man, who had been standing for more than five hours, couldn’t hide the fatigue on his face, cleared his throat, and announced to them that the surgery was very successful.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Gao!" exclaimed the relatives of the patient joyfully, and they thanked him profusely.

Dr. Gao Chuan gave a few more instructions and then turned to walk towards the washroom. After washing his hands, he returned to his office and realized it was already very late by the darkening sky outside.

He had arranged to meet Jiang An at a coffee shop at three in the afternoon to discuss something, but he didn’t expect that an emergency would arise at the hospital. He thought he could handle it before meeting up, but the situation turned so urgent that surgery was necessary.

He quickly took out his phone and attempted to call Jiang An back at first chance, but her phone was unreachable.

The man swiftly removed his white coat and hurried down the stairs.

He drove straight to the coffee shop where they had agreed to meet, only to find it had already closed for the night.

Gao Chuan silently stopped in front of the coffee shop, a faint darkness in his eyes, suddenly feeling ridiculous, actually hoping that Jiang An could wait for him for more than five hours. After sitting in the car and pondering for a while, he eventually turned around and drove in another direction.

Since Jiang An proposed divorce these past few days, it wasn’t like he hadn’t thought about looking for her. He naturally guessed that she must have returned to the old house, but because he was too busy with hospital affairs, he didn’t have time to get away. Moreover, he still didn’t know how to face Jiang An.

He never thought that one day Jiang An would say such things to him; she said staying by his side made her feel tired, she said he made her feel pain.

Ever since she married him, she busied herself with the affairs of the Gao Family, diligently took care of his daily life, and never once complained.

He just took it for granted that she would always be by his side, not knowing that Jiang An had been under enormous pressure all this time staying with him.

The sky was getting dark, and the rain began to ease, the man drove through the rain for a long time before finally reaching the old house where Jiang An used to live.

The place was very secluded, and the house was also very old. He still remembered the first time he brought Jiang An back here; it was the day after Fang Qing had passed away. That day, he broke his usual principles and decided to help Jiang An with Fang Qing’s affairs.

He always thought that he did it because he saw Jiang An all alone and felt pity for her, but looking back, he realized that during his years in medicine, there were many patients under his care in difficult circumstances, yet he specifically went out of his way to help Jiang An from the beginning to the end.

What kind of emotions they were, he couldn’t make clear at the time, but thinking about it now, his heart ached silently.

Gao Chuan parked his car on the street of the residential area. The sky was completely dark, and the car was engulfed in darkness, with only two distant streetlights casting a faint fluorescent glow.

The man sat in silence in the car, his deep gaze fixed on a man and woman who suddenly appeared not far away, his emotions obscured in his eyes.

The view was somewhat blurred, but he clearly recognized Jiang An, and the other person he knew without a doubt was Wei Yan.

He saw the man get out first, holding an umbrella to welcome the girl from the passenger seat, and both of them stood under the streetlight and spoke for a few moments. Jiang An took off her coat and handed it to the man, then ran up the stairs, while the man who remained holding the umbrella stood still until her figure disappeared before he got back into his car and drove away.

Their exchange was brief, but the man who watched everything unfold couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly.

After a long while, the man silently shifted his gaze and fumbled for a long time before finally finding a cigarette, took out a lighter, and lit it slowly; in a short while, the cigarette burned slowly between his fingers, and in the swirls of smoke, his slightly melancholic face seemed to fade in and out of view.

Upon seeing this scene, he wasn’t childish enough to suspect any connection between Jiang An’s divorce and Wei Yan; it was just an unexplainable fear rising in his heart.

He, of course, hadn’t forgotten that there was such a guardian by Jiang An’s side, and if he truly divorced her, taking advantage would be inevitable.

Men understand men best.

He simply couldn’t bear the thought of Jiang An being with another man; no matter what, he wouldn’t let go, even if she had grown cold towards him.

Gao Chuan lingered in his car downstairs for a long time before departing. When he returned home, it was nearly eleven o’clock. Upon reaching the gate of his community, he was stopped by security, who said that someone had left something for him at the guard’s booth in the afternoon.

He took the file bag handed to him, and when he got home and opened it, he found it to be a divorce agreement.

He didn’t flip through a single page but laid it aside. Tiredness washed over him as he leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes only to see Jiang An’s image emerge in front of him.

Perhaps, he realized just now that when he got married to Jiang An, although it was under his grandmother’s insistence, deep down in his subconscious he never considered divorce.

He truly didn’t understand what had happened during his absence, what caused Jiang An’s attitude to take such a drastic turnaround, and to bring them to this pass.
