Chapter 1 (part 1) - large women don't want to have love

When Xu Xinyi learnt that Yi Yang was coming back home, she deliberately asked the production team for leave to go home early and prepare.

Yi Yang was usually busy with his company's work and so was often away from home. Most of the time he was either out working or on a business trip abroad, just like Xu Xinyi who wasn't home all year round because she was busy filming.

They have been married for two years but have rarely spent time together.

She heard that this time Yi Yang planned to stay for a longer time.

Xu Xinyi grabbed this opportunity and instructed her assistant to buy a lot of ingredients for dishes that Yi Yang liked to eat, to prepare for dinner.

High quality food ingredients usually needed to be cooked in the simplest of ways. Xu Xinyi was busy for 2 hours and finally opened a take away app and ordered a table full of seafood dishes.

At 8 o'clock, Xu Xinyi was sitting at the dining table, absentmindedly looking at the food on the table getting cold.

There wasn't any movement at the door and no messages on the phone.

She knew that Yi Yang had just came back to the country. He had many social gatherings to attend. Most likely he was stopped by someone somewhere and couldn't get away.

These kinds of things happen all the time, it's way too common to worry about them.

It seems that in this marriage, the woman's job was to wait for her busy husband. She played the role of a weak and vulnerable woman, sitting at the dining table, hoping for her husband to come home. There was no other option but to wait quietly.

Xu Xinyi waited patiently till 9 o'clock, then called Yi Yang.

Nobody answered the call.

Looking at the food that had now gone cold, Xu Xinyi patiently put them in the microwave to reheat them.

Then continued waiting.

Finally, at 11 o'clock there was some movement at the door but the food on the dining table was completely cold.

Yi Yang came back after a long day at work. He had taken off his suit jacket which now hung on his arm, the white shirt underneath it showed wide and lean shoulders. His deep-set eyes hid in them a cold, indifferent stare.

There was a faint smell of alcohol in the air.

"You're back?"

A hesitant, delicate and charming sound came from the direction of the kitchen.

Yi Yang looked up and under the dim orange light in the kitchen, he saw his wife of two years looking at him, pleasantly surprised.

In a split second, Yi Yang returned back to his cold and indifferent expression, like a layer of ice. He leisurely glanced at Xu Xinyi and a pushed out one word from his throat: "En."

"Have you eaten yet? I'll serve (the food) you...."

"No need. Come here, I have something to discuss with you."

Yi Yang sat on the sofa with his long legs resting comfortably on the ground, elbows propped on his thighs, his body a little bent and his head lowered. He rubbed his tired eyes and threw a document on the table when Xu Xinyi came to his side.

Although his words said he wanted to discuss but his tone meant there wasn't going to be any discussion.

"Take a look and sign them if you have no objection."

Xu Xinyi saw the big bold words 'Divorce Agreement' written on the documents.

"Divorce Agreement? You want us to divorce?" Xu Xinyi's voice trembled, her eyebrows pinched, as if she had suffered the greatest setback. She stared at Yi Yang in confusion, her eyes red from unshed tears, "Yi Yang, don't tease me, I prepared your favorite seafood, and......you must be tired from work, right? Why don't you bathe first...?"

"I am not joking with you, Xu Xinyi, you should know why we got married two years ago and these past two years we haven't been a real married couple, no outsider knows about this marriage, and after we divorce you won't suffer any loss to your reputation or assets. Furthermore, if you don't understand the division of assets, I'll ask the lawyers to explain it to you tomorrow."

"I don't understand! I don't understand any of this! Why don't we eat first? Let's eat and then rest properly, I have something to do so I won't be able to keep you company."

"Xu Xinyi, I am here to talk about something important with you, don't make unnecessary trouble."

Xu Xinyi stared for a moment, her hands tightened into fists, her eyes filled with tears.

She was both confused and despaired, she felt sad and wronged and she did not try to conceal it, "But why? Clearly these 2 years were good, so why do you want to divorce me? On what grounds? Am I not good enough? Or did I do something wrong, you have to give me a reason."

"Reason?" Yi Yang looked at her for a long time, then sneered. That cold and cynical sneer made Xu Xinyi feel sour.

"The things you have done behind my back, you don't need me to explain them one by one, do you? I don't want to say those unpleasant things and expose everything. A peaceful divorce will let us both have some face."

"But......I don't agree to divorce! I won't agree! I won't leave!" Xu Xinyi took the divorce agreement and tore it, "We are husband and wife, we've got along well these past 2 years, why are you asking for a divorce?"

Yi Yang gave her an indifferent look and did not stop her, "Tomorrow I will bring the lawyer, have a good rest, I will leave first."

He wasn't even willing to sleep here.

Yi Yang put on his coat and left.

Just before stepping out the front door he turned around and saw Xu Xinyi crouching by the side of the coffee table with her back towards him, holding the divorce agreement, her body shaking as she cried without a sound.

Yi Yang's eyes sunk a little. He knew that Xu Xinyi was madly in love with him but he did not like her, not even a little bit. If not for her recent excessive behavior, where he would have almost killed someone to vent out his anger, he wouldn't have proposed a divorce.

This marriage is meaningless, to go on with it is to inflict harm upon oneself, nothing more.

After a moment's pause, Yi Yang raised his foot and left.

Such a huge living room was now empty and felt cold and gloomy.

'Shouldn't laugh, almost let the cat out of the bag.'

Xu Xinyi was laughing so hard that her whole body shook, she grumbled: "Annoying, such a big thing too won't make me feel happy."

She sat on the sofa, looking excited. In front of Yi Yang, she had been all sorrowful, heartbroken and miserable. She might have over-acted with tearing the divorce agreement but now she couldn't hold back her grin.

"I knew that the divorce papers were coming, but I didn't expect them to come so soon, Xiao a, if Yi Yang and I sign these divorce papers, everything will then end here, right?"

'Yes.'

Xu Xinyi smiled in satisfaction.
