Have You Ever Had a Cat?

“Shh!” Lin Qingqian was slightly speechless at her loud voice. Was she afraid that others could not hear her?

Yan Sui covered her mouth belatedly and looked around the cafe. It was still early and there were no customers.

“Qianqian, you intend to run away from the marriage?!” She stretched her neck closer to Lin Qingqian and lowered her voice like a spy exchanging information.

Lin Qingqian nodded. “Jiang Yanshen is unwilling to sign the divorce papers, and no one in Lan City dares to take on my divorce case. After thinking about it, I can only live separately for two years first. At that time, I can apply for a divorce. Jiang Yanshen can’t possibly bribe the judge too.”

Jiang Yanshen did not know her well, but she knew him very well.

Since he did not agree to the divorce, he would definitely stop her from escaping the marriage at all costs. Therefore, it was impossible for her to successfully get a divorce if she stayed in Lan City.

The only way was to leave Lan City and go to a place where Jiang Yanshen could not find her.

“Then where do you plan to go? Back to Yushan?” Yan Sui asked, her round face filled with worry. “If you go back to Yushan, Jiang Yanshen will definitely chase after you.”

“I can’t return to Yushan. When Jiang Yanshen finds out that I’ve run away, he’ll send someone to Yushan immediately.” Lin Qingqian lowered her head to look at the iced coffee in her hand. The smooth liquid reflected the calm and firm light in her eyes. “I can’t implicate Little Aunt. It’s best if even you don’t know where I’m going, so you must help me buy a domestic plane ticket. The further the better.”

It was too troublesome to go overseas. She did not have a passport.

Yan Sui could not help but tilt her head. “Why don’t I understand?”

Once I run away, Jiang Yanshen will definitely investigate you. You won’t be able to hide the fact that you helped me find someone to make a fake identity card. He will ask Lu Yuan to track down the plane ticket that was bought with the fake identity card. Then, I will take this opportunity to leave Lan City.”

Lin Qingqian patiently explained to her that the so-called fake identity card was just a cover to divert Jiang Yanshen’s attention and buy herself time.

Yan Sui finally understood and couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up. “Brilliant! Qianqian, why didn’t I realize that you had the potential to be a criminal investigator in the past!”

Lin Qingqian calculated the feasibility of this matter in her heart and was not in the mood to argue with her. “After I leave, Jiang Yanshen might find trouble with you.”

“If he wants to find me, so be it!” Yan Sui said indifferently. “Unless he kills me, I can still go home to retire. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Lin Qingqian’s heart surged with warmth. Even if she could not find success in love, she still had a good friend like Suisui and her little aunt…

Yan Sui looked at her vibrating phone and finished her coffee in one gulp. “I’m in a hurry to go to work. Wait for my news.”

“Alright.” She had just nodded when Yan Sui ran towards the door of the cafe impatiently.

Lin Qingqian’s gaze followed her back. The golden sunlight shone on her body, like a sunflower blooming into the sun, full of vitality.

If she hadn’t fallen in love with Jiang Yanshen, let alone married him, would she be living an ordinary life too now?

Every day, she only needed to think about designing and work. She would go out to eat and sing with her friends after work and not be… living like a cripple.

Fortunately, she was still young. It was not too late to start now…

…

Lin Qingqian did not return to the hotel. Instead, she returned to her apartment. Jiang Yanshen found out about this but did not say anything.

Lu Yuan chose a few wedding venues, all of which were resort hotels under Tianyue Corporation. Jiang Yanshen asked him to send the details to the apartment for Lin Qingqian to choose.

Lin Qingqian did not even look at it and said indifferently, “I won’t hold a wedding with him. Let him save it for the next Mrs. Jiang.”

How would Lu Yuan dare to relay these words back? He only tactfully expressed that Mrs Jiang had not chosen a venue yet.

Even if he didn’t say anything, Jiang Yanshen knew that Lin Qingqian definitely didn’t say anything good. She either called him a dog of a man or told him to die. What else didn’t she dare to say?

Jiang Yanshen picked up a good-looking pen from the pen holder and made a tick on the “Lakeside Yin Resort Hotel”. After putting down the pen, he suddenly looked up and asked Lu Yuan, “Have you ever had a cat?”
