My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day
Chapter 118: Getting the Divorce Certificate

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Getting the Divorce Certificate

She answered the phone, pressing it to her ear: "Hello."

"What are you doing?"

Shen Dang’s voice was still the usual low and casual, tinged with a laissez-faire demeanor.

It made one feel like he was the wind, that elusive gust.

He had never stayed for anyone.

A ripple stirred in Qiao Xi’s heart as she lowered her gaze and replied indifferently, "Reading a script."

"At home?"

"Mhm."

"Do you have time now?"

"...Of course."

The two exchanged questions and answers.

It seemed awkward, yet not awkward.

Perhaps only Qiao Xi felt the atmosphere was bizarre at the moment.

Qiao Xi furrowed her brows. Boss Shen wouldn’t call her just to say a few nutritionless words, would he?

So, Qiao Xi took the initiative to ask, "Is there something you need?"

Silence for a few seconds.

Boss Shen spoke unhurriedly, "Bring your household registration book and divorce certificate to the Civil Affairs Bureau. I’ll wait for you."

Qiao Xi’s heart skipped a beat, an uncontrollable emotion instantly invaded her mind.

She was somewhat dazed, unable to clarify what kind of emotion this was.

Someone she hadn’t seen in days brought her such surprising news; maybe she was too happy to react.

Silence fell between them.

Qiao Xi heard her own voice: "Okay, I’m coming over now."

Shen Dang’s voice was somewhat hoarse: "The marriage certificate is in the bottom drawer of the bedside table in the master bedroom."

"Alright, I know."

"See you in a bit."

Shen Dang’s voice carried a hint of indifference.

This should be the Boss Shen who always maintained a certain aloofness from others, whose occasional closeness was but an act for the occasion.

Shen Dang hung up.

Qiao Xi grabbed her household registration book and divorce certificate, and as she was about to leave, she changed into another outfit.

The marriage of convenience that had lasted over two years could finally officially end today.

She should be happy about that.

It was cold outside.

Qiao Xi wore a red dress inside, covered by a black coat, with a pair of short boots underneath.

A simple and normal outfit, but the red gave a sense of festivity.

Her lips were painted with vintage red lipstick, on her delicate and ethereal face, suitable for both light and heavy makeup.

Once she put on her mask, that celestial face was hidden within.

Her eyes were clear and cold, reminiscent of the current weather.

Qiao Xi arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau by car at three in the afternoon.

The staff had just started their shift not long ago.

She got off the car and headed for the Civil Affairs Bureau, calling Shen Dang on the way.

"I’m here."

Shen Dang’s voice blended with the wind: "I’m behind you."

Qiao Xi paused her steps.

She turned around to look.

Their eyes met.

Shen Dang was walking leisurely in the wind.

He wore a black alpaca overcoat, tall and graceful with an elegant demeanor.

His long legs underneath were eye-catching, adding to his distant aura.

His chiseled face was fully exposed to the chilly wind, exuding a cool nobility.

His eyes were deep and attractive, the look in them cold but not quite cold, creating a strong sense of distance.

Yet full of a different charm.

With every move he made, even his walking stride carried a unique, elegant nobleness specific to Boss Shen.

As she observed him, Shen Dang had already walked up to her.

He looked down, his voice steady, "Did you bring everything you need?"

Qiao Xi patted her bag, "It’s all here."

How could she possibly forget?

She had been looking forward to this day.

Shen Dang nodded, "Alright, let’s go in."

The two walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Their steps in sync, their height and demeanor appeared to be a perfect match, not at all seeming like they were there for a divorce.

But there was no communication between them, nothing like a couple there to get married either.

Many people in the lobby looked their way, but then indifferently shifted their gaze.

Great, another resentful couple.

There was no queue on the divorce side.

Shen Dang and Qiao Xi went straight to the counter.

The atmosphere between them was cool and distant, always with something between them, and the staff could see they indeed fit the bill of a couple looking to divorce.

On the marriage certificate side, there was cheerfulness, contrasting starkly with the somberness on this side.

Before the paperwork, the staff member still dutifully asked, "Are both of you willingly getting a divorce?"

"Yes," replied Qiao Xi, her voice clear and cold.

"Yes," Shen Dang said with a careless smile.

Qiao Xi couldn’t be sure, but she always felt there was a trace of coldness in Shen Dang’s voice.

The staff truly felt the couple in front of her was perfectly matched: "Won’t you reconsider?"

What couldn’t be sorted out by a proper talk that had to lead to divorce?

Dealing with divorces day in and day out, she was becoming numb.

She hoped all love would have a beautiful ending and that there would never be people getting divorced!

Qiao Xi didn’t hear the staff member’s wish; she just smiled, "This is the result after deep deliberation."

It was the best outcome for her and Shen Dang.

To resume their original places.

"Let’s proceed with the paperwork," said Shen Dang, his expression cold.

They had agreed to marry by arrangement, and now the divorce was by mutual agreement as well, so there were no property issues involved.

The divorce procedure was completed quickly.

From marriage to divorce, the span of over two years was perfectly concluded today.

When receiving the marriage certificate, Qiao Xi hadn’t glanced at it once, but now, receiving the freshly issued divorce certificate, Qiao Xi seemed interested, looking at it several times.

—So this is what a divorce certificate looks like.

It clearly cut the relationship between the two people.

From then on, they became strangers.

"Let’s go, what are you dazing at? Is the divorce certificate that good-looking?"

Shen Dang patted her head lightly with the divorce certificate before lowering his gaze to look at her.

Qiao Xi had just raised her eyes.

She stared at Shen Dang.

Seeing her staring with wide eyes, Shen Dang couldn’t help but let out a laugh, "You didn’t even look at the marriage certificate when you got it before."

Shen Dang remembered that when he had tried to give her one of the marriage certificates before, Qiao Xi had rejected him with her clear, indifferent voice.

"I don’t need the marriage certificate, do with it what you will."

Shen Dang didn’t care about the certificate himself, just thought one for each person, with no other meaning.

But she had been colder than him.

So both red booklets had stayed with Shen Dang.

"Of course, the divorce certificate looks better," Qiao Xi shot back, "It proves I’m liberated."

Qiao Xi stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, looking up at the overcast sky, suddenly feeling a sense of relief.

It was over.

Everything was over!

Shen Dang casually stuffed the divorce certificate back into his pocket, shooting a glance at her, "Let’s go, I’ll take you back."

Qiao Xi smiled, still in a good mood, "I promised you a meal after the divorce, Boss Shen, so you can choose a place."

Thinking of Shen Dang’s extravagant ways, Qiao Xi didn’t wait for him to speak but added, "Just not too expensive."

After all, she was treating; she had to save money.

Shen Dang chuckled, his gaze frosty, "Teacher Qiao, why are you such a cheapskate, hmm?"

His voice lifted at the end, full of a natural laziness, extremely enticing.

A light lift of his eyelids, his peach-blossom eyes appeared very alluring.

If just now his look at her had been somewhat cold.

Now it was a bit...
