Fang Xianxing’s deliberately softened voice carried a friendly tone, briefly soothing Xie Zhi’s nervousness. He composed himself and said, “Yesterday’s agreements didn’t stipulate any terms regarding divorce.”
“It did.” Fang Xianxing blinked, not expecting Xie Zhi to bring this up. “After the divorce, the distribution of assets, except for what you’ve given up, will be handled according to legal regulations.”
“That’s not it.” Xie Zhi shook his head and took out three copies of a divorce agreement from the document bag he had been holding. “The agreements you provided lack a divorce agreement. To prevent me from pestering you in the future using our marital relationship, it’s better to sign an additional divorce agreement. The divorce date three years from now should also be specified.”
Looking at Xie Zhi’s gaze directed at her, Fang Xianxing couldn’t help but laugh.
Was Xie Zhi trying to persuade her to sign the divorce agreement by belittling himself?
What a peculiar negotiation tactic.
“We’re not even married yet. How can we sign a divorce agreement?” Fang Xianxing didn’t take the divorce agreement from his hand.
Xie Zhi didn’t expect Fang Xianxing to refuse. In his view, Fang Xianxing had already been frank with him, saying that their marriage was a sham. So adding a divorce agreement shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Seeing him stunned, Fang Xianxing took the divorce agreement from his hand and placed it on her thigh, arranging it neatly. “I’m a businesswoman. I value credibility. After we register our marriage, we can arrange for divorce matters once three years have passed. There’s no need to sign a divorce agreement.”
She had guessed the possibility of Xie Zhi liking her and had also considered how to revise the prenuptial agreement for a marriage that develops into love. But if they truly turned out to be incompatible, what they agreed upon yesterday would remain unchanged.
“Why not sign it?” A hint of anger flashed in Xie Zhi’s eyes. His voice sounded like it had suddenly been poured into a glass of ice water, dropping several degrees. “If credibility alone is enough, then why did Ms. Fang have me sign those prenuptial agreements yesterday? Or does Ms. Fang conduct business without signing contracts, relying solely on verbal agreements?”
The atmosphere in the car instantly became tense. The faint smile on Fang Xianxing’s face quickly disappeared. She concealed the confusion in her eyes and looked at Xie Zhi.
Separated by a large bouquet of red roses, Xie Zhi’s fair face was tinged with a hint of red, but it didn’t add any warmth to his demeanor.
Cold and piercing.
Fang Xianxing was puzzled. She began to believe that men were indeed incomprehensible creatures.
Just because she wouldn’t sign the divorce agreement, he withdrew his special gentleness towards her and showed this cold attitude.
He must really like the divorce agreement.
Fine, it was better if he didn’t like her. It wouldn’t disrupt her rhythm.
Fang Xianxing frowned and flicked the divorce agreement with her hand. Her voice became businesslike. “I have already sent the additional divorce compensation to your virtual account. It will be automatically transferred to your card three years later. I showed you the electronic receipt during the notarization yesterday. When I say a three-year sham marriage, it means exactly three years, not a day less or more. I have no reason to deceive a little man like you. If you’re not at ease, you can sue for divorce three years later. As for the divorce agreement, I won’t sign it.”
“A sham marriage is not something to be proud of. If word gets out, it will harm you, me, our families, and my company. I can’t possibly sign such an agreement, leaving traceable evidence.”
“We can skip the notarization for now,” Xie Zhi said with a frown, reaching to take back the divorce agreement from Fang Xianxing’s hand.
If he could sue for divorce, why would he go through so much trouble with her?
His mother and father would never allow him to sue for divorce. Legal provisions and moral customs generally advocated reconciliation over separation. By then, the initiative for divorce would be in Fang Xianxing’s hands.
If Fang Xianxing changed her mind, he would probably have no way to defend himself. Others would only see him as a troublemaker who didn’t know his place.
Fang Xianxing avoided his hand and grabbed his wrist, pushing him away. “We’ve only known each other for three days. Whether the divorce agreement with my signature is left at the notary office or in your hands, I’m not at ease.”
“You can say I’m suspecting you with a petty mind, but I need to be one hundred percent sure that the scandal of a sham divorce won’t suddenly appear in the press one day.”
“You only care about your one hundred percent assurance, and then you expect me to trust your verbal promise. Ms. Fang, you’re quite the schemer.”
Swindler!
Xie Zhi cursed inwardly, his words full of sarcasm.

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Synopsis:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
He even had his eyes on another woman.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
Su Mu expressed her disdain.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
She also wanted to embrace Xie Yi, who had silently stayed by her side in her previous life and committed suicide by taking poison after her death.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
—–
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
