A Beloved Wife in Marriage

61 Director Jiang Was Actually Very Lonely

After the wedding, Lin Qingqian hadn’t seen Jiang Yanshen again.

Only Jiang Yanshen’s lawyer contacted her about the divorce and sent her the electronic file of the divorce agreement. After confirming that there was no problem, he arranged for the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign it.

On the day that Lin Qingqian went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign the papers, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. It was the same as the day she registered her marriage.

Jiang Yanshen had originally given her some assets on the divorce agreement, but Lin Qingqian had gotten the lawyer to remove them. Other than the divorce certificate, she didn’t need anything else from Jiang Yanshen.

!!

At first, the lawyer was in a dilemma. After making a call, he followed Lin Qingqian’s wishes and changed it. Then, he handed over the edited divorce agreement.

Lin Qingqian didn’t know how they did it either. Jiang Yanshen wasn’t present, but the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau still approved the divorce certificate. One copy was for her, and the other was for the lawyer to bring back.

When they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the lawyer said kindly, “Miss Lin, I’ll send you off.”

Lin Qingqian declined politely. “No need, thank you.”

The lawyer did not insist further. “If there are any problems in the future, Miss Lin can contact me at any time.”

Lin Qingqian nodded and couldn’t help but ask, “Has your Director Jiang been very busy recently?”

The lawyer was stunned. He didn’t expect her to suddenly mention Director Jiang but he maintained a polite smile on his face. “Director Jiang has always been busy.”

When Lin Qingqian heard this, her red lips curled up slightly. She looked at the blue sky in the distance and said meaningfully, “Yes, he’s always very busy.”

He was so busy that he could only get his lawyer to step in for the divorce.

The lawyer did not understand what she meant and did not say anything else. After saying goodbye, he left in a hurry.

Lin Qingqian stood outside the Civil Affairs Bureau for quite a while, looking at the people coming and going. Some sweet lovers went in to get married, and some serious-looking couples walked out as if they had been relieved of burden.

She lowered her head and looked at the certificate in her hand. Her joy and admiration from the past seven years had only ended with a divorce certificate.

Her fair fingers tore the divorce certificate in half and threw it into the recyclable trash can. She took a deep breath and let out a long breath. She looked in the direction of the morning sun and smiled. “Goodbye, Jiang Yanshen. Goodbye…”

The Lin Qingqian of seven years ago.

…

The lawyer rushed to the VIP lounge at the airport where Jiang Yanshen sat alone. The coffee in front of him had already cooled down.

“Director Jiang, this is the divorce certificate.” The lawyer placed the documents and the divorce certificate in front of him. “Miss Lin doesn’t want any assets.”

A woman who had been married to Director Jiang for three years didn’t take anything from the marriage. To be honest, even as a lawyer, he admired her.

Jiang Yanshen’s lowered eyelashes fluttered, and his dark gaze landed on the divorce certificate. He pursed his lips and remained silent.

The lawyer waited for a moment. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he said tactfully, “Director Jiang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to the company.”

Jiang Yanshen still sat there without moving or looking at him.

The lawyer turned around to leave the waiting room when Song Qin walked past him with a few documents in her hand.

“Director Jiang, these documents urgently need your signature.” Song Qin put down the documents and placed them in front of him. From the corner of her eye, she saw a small notebook with the words “Divorce Certificate” printed on it on the table. She was instantly stunned.

“… Sob.”

Why didn’t the lawyer tell her that Director Jiang had just gotten a divorce?!

‘Is it too late to take the files away now?’

Jiang Yanshen didn’t fly into a rage like Song Qin expected. Instead, he took out a fountain pen from his chest pocket and skillfully signed the documents.

“I won’t be in Lan City for the whole of next month. You have full authority to deal with the company or you can contact Lu Yuan.”

Song Qin replied, “Understood.”

Then, the airport broadcast sounded, reminding the flight passengers to start checking in. Jiang Yanshen put away his fountain pen, picked up the divorce certificate on the table, and walked to the boarding gate.

Light shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the airport. From Song Qin’s angle, she looked at his back. It was hazy, tall, and lonely…

She suddenly felt that Director Jiang was actually very lonely and pitiful.

…

Lin Qingqian took a taxi back to the apartment and saw Lin Chaoyan packing her luggage in the living room.
