Introduction
"I want a divorce," she mumbled, her head lowered. With force, he pushed her down, seized her chin, their unparalleled faces inches from each other, "You think you're entitled to discuss divorce, huh?" He never agreed to divorce, yet he brought back a pregnant Qu Yan'er, the three of them living under one roof... Falling in love with you, it was my mistake...

Chapter

Before anything was exposed, An Xiaonuan carried on diligently with her routine of going to work and leaving work.

She greatly enjoyed her current job. In a large public library in Haishi City, she was the only internationally renowned expert in ancient languages and also the young owner of the library.

Everyone respectfully and enviously referred to her as Director An.

These were her credentials to the outside world.

Yet, in the library, nobody was aware of An Xiaonuan's inner pain and conflict.

At the moment, she was seated alone in her private office within the library.

On the desk was a tablet, playing a video news clip. However, An Xiaonuan’s gaze was not focused on the tablet, but out the window at the overcast weather.

The sound from the video resonated loudly throughout the office.

"As one of the rich bachelors with both beauty and leisure in Haishi city, Lan Moshen, has already found his match. This surely breaks the hearts of many single men and women..." The announcer's voice was crisp and excited, broadcasting in a rhythm that could hook the listeners’ emotions.

"And, who could this extraordinary woman be who has captivated this bachelor who has always been immune to rumors of affairs? It is none other than the top-level internet sensation and dream girl of countless men, Qu Yaner..." The host's voice paused at the right moment, further piquing the audiences' interest.

"As a matter of fact, this Qu Yaner, aside from being a top-tier internet sensation, was also Lan Moshen's first love! Isn't it shocking to hear that Lan Moshen has remained single for three years, just waiting for his first love?"

The sound of the video gradually faded away from An Xiaonuan, only a few unclear words drifted into her ears.

"...truly a match made in heaven, I wish them an early marriage…"

"Ah, it makes me envious to hear such a thing, marrying into a wealthy family..."

An Xiaonuan’s thoughts gradually drifted away with the lead-colored sky outside.

Why was she watching this video? Not even she knew that herself. It was only because she saw her colleagues in the large office discussing it. The moment she returned to her office, as if led by some unseen force, she opened and watched the video.

However, once she saw two faces side by side, she didn't have the courage to continue watching.

These were faces she was familiar with, who had been very close with her. Or more precisely, one of them shared a very intimate relationship with her. How intimate, one may ask?

Lan Mo Shen was her legal husband, An Xiao Nuan!

However, only their families and the VIPs invited to their wedding knew about this. Once this news broke out, those who knew about Lan Mo Shen's marriage would probably see her as a joke.

She let out a bitter smile. In reality, she was already a joke.

She and Lan Mo Shen had been in a secret marriage for three years.

Yet in these three years, their time together could be counted on one's fingers.

Moreover, she hardly knew of his whereabouts, until a few days ago. Qu Yan Er, who hadn't shown herself for three years, suddenly gave her a video call.

"An Xiao Nuan! Oh, you have a face full of a wronged woman's aura. Tsk tsk, serves you right! Who told you to snatch away what was rightfully mine? How does it feel to guard an empty room all by yourself?" Qu Yan Er cheerfully taunted in the video.

An Xiao Nuan didn't know what had happened, "Did you come back from abroad just to mock me? Then I'll hang up now!"

An Xiao Nuan was very busy, with no time to play games with internet celebrities like this.

"Hmph, I'm already together with Mo Shen, and I'm even carrying his child..."
