Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030: Prepared

Chen Haobo glanced at the lawyer beside him, “The lawyer your friend helped you find? Is she also the one handling the household register for you? Qiuqiu, you’ve really grown capable.”

Ye Qiuqiu returned his gaze fearlessly, “I’ve always been capable, it’s just for the sake of the family, I’ve given up many opportunities.”

“Do we really have to go this far?” Chen Haobo wiped his face, “I don’t want to divorce.”

Ye Qiuqiu said, “Let’s part on good terms then.”

A long silence ensued.

Ye Qiuqiu didn’t know what Chen Haobo was thinking as she watched him sit stiffly, his eyebrows and eyes drooping, and after a while, his back slumped in resignation.

“Give it to me,” he said hoarsely.

Chen Haobo took the divorce agreement back, lifting the pen as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

Once he finished signing, the lawyer immediately reminded him, “Miss Ye, the divorce agreement will not take effect immediately after both parties have signed. It must go through a certain legal process. Specifically, you need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain a divorce certificate, and the divorce registration must be completed before it has legal effect.”

The lawyer’s professionalism made Chen Haobo want to punch him, he thought about buying some time, “Can it be done from a different location? That’s not possible, right?”

Some more time, maybe she would reconsider?

The lawyer gave a professional smile, “According to the current regulations in C City, that’s not possible.”

Chen Haobo was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

“However.” Chen Haobo hadn’t finished his breath when he heard the lawyer continue with a smile, “Miss Ye is already a resident of C City, so it’s not considered a different location.”

When Chen Haobo retrieved his household register, seeing the “moved out” stamp on the pages of the mother and daughter, he was disheartened and remained silent for a long time.

So, Ye Qiuqiu had not merely imagined it, she had actually prepared everything meticulously over these days.

She had made her moves in advance, well-prepared.

He couldn’t win back her resolve to leave.

Chen Haobo returned to H City.

Mrs. Chen saw her son, exhausted and disheveled, and her heart ached, “What happened? Didn’t you eat? You’ve lost weight in just a few days.”

She complained, “Qiuqiu really, she’s so headstrong, making you chase after her everywhere. And you too, if she doesn’t come back then she doesn’t, with Qianqian she can’t go anywhere, she won’t stay outside her whole life.”

Chen Haobo threw the divorce certificate on the table, “Yes, she’s not coming back, are you satisfied now?”

Mrs. Chen picked up the red booklet, losing her voice, “Divorced? Why divorce when everything was fine?”

She then saw her son’s household register and immediately picked it up, and unsurprisingly, she saw that her granddaughter had been moved out.

“What did you need the household register for! She couldn’t have moved out if you hadn’t taken it out. Who is Qianqian with?” Mrs. Chen immediately asked anxiously.

Chen Haobo’s already low spirits grew increasingly irritable with Mrs. Chen’s clamoring.

“Qianqian is with her.”

Mrs. Chen slapped her thigh, “You can’t give her Qianqian! Qianqian is the Chen family’s granddaughter!”

“Right, the birth certificate! Hurry up and give it to me to hide.” She suddenly remembered, raising her voice sharply, “Without it she can’t do anything, she’ll for sure come back to find you! Then we’ll make her leave Qianqian behind, keep these safe and don’t let her take them away!”

“Qianqian doesn’t stay with her but with you? She is Qianqian’s mother!” Chen Haobo snatched the book back from her hand and turned to leave, “No one loves Qianqian more than she does, stop talking nonsense!”

“Where are you going?” Mrs. Chen asked in haste.

Chen Haobo didn’t answer.

The rain that day came suddenly.

The rain was not heavy, drizzling softly, not so much like rain, but more like a fog falling down.

The world seemed veiled behind a thin layer of gauze.

Ye Qiuqiu walked along the road, her body wet from the constant rain.

She stood by the roadside, watching the boys and girls in school uniforms across the street.

The boys took off their jackets to shield the girls from the rain, their sweet and naive affection overflowing on their faces.

They laughed, they ran.

Watching them, Ye Qiuqiu smiled; smiling, she also cried.
