For the past six months, Yang Lingyun had remained in Milan, searching relentlessly for Xia Lihua and it felt like he was living in hell.
Not long after Xia Lihua disappeared, Song Yazhi delivered a set of divorce papers to Yang Lingyun. They were already signed—by Xia Lihua.
At first, he thought it was some kind of mistake. He stared at the documents before looking up, his voice tight. "What is this supposed to mean?"
Song Yazhi remained composed, his tone measured but firm. "The agreement behind this marriage has run its course. It's only proper for her to proceed with the divorce now."
Yang Lingyun's expression hardened almost immediately. "I'm not signing anything," he said coldly. "Not in this lifetime. And for the record—nothing happened between me and Lin Yueshi."
When persuasion failed, he took a more drastic step. Yang Lingyun went public, announcing that Xia Lihua was his wife whom he had married in secret and that she was now missing.
