"Love After Marriage: Wife, Divorce is Invalid! Love After Marriage: Wife, Divorce is Invalid! Volume 1: This Thing Called Love Has Nothing to Do with Human Ethics 6000+"

  In the morning, Jiang Shen told herself the situation and she didn't make any more phone calls.

  Today, Yan Ruhua opened his mouth and said he wanted to see Tang Xiao. Guan Yan Hong then made the first call of the day, but the result was still the same, it was turned off.

  That uneasy feeling has taken over Guan Yanxi's heart time and time again.

  Jiang Shen hasn't come back yet, Guan Yanrou didn't even have a person to talk to, she went downstairs and sat in front of the fountain eating ice cream.

  Guan Yan's face turned red as she lowered her head and smiled, thinking to herself... She had once heard a friend say that the loneliest thing in the world wasn't being the only person left on earth, but rather longing for someone.

  Longing...

  It turns out I'm missing him so much, thinking of Tang Xiao... it hurts so much just thinking about it.

  Guan Yan scooped a large spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, feeling a bit dizzy... Was she running a fever? Before she could even lift her hand...

  "Eating this at night is easy to get fat and bad for the stomach, don't you know as a doctor?"

  Jiang Shen's low and magnetic voice came from behind Guan Yanruo, she turned around.

  All he saw was Jiang Shen walking towards her with a suit hanging from his arm and a smile on the corner of his lips, then sitting down beside Guan Yanruo and casually taking away her ice cream.

  "Because I couldn't fill the emptiness in my heart, I could only fill the emptiness in my stomach." Guan Yan's voice was a little hoarse from eating ice cream.

  "Lonely?" Jiang Shen's tired eyes held a hint of inquiry.

  "I forgot who told me, the loneliest thing in the world is not when you're the only one left, but when you miss someone." Guan Yanxi smiled slightly and turned to look at Jiang Shen. In the clear wind, her hair tangled ambiguously with the sadness in her eyes, she whispered again, "It's missing someone..."

  Jiang Chen's eyebrows furrowed and he looked down at the ice cream... Red wine ice cream?!

  His eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and this wine-soaked woman was actually eating red wine ice cream! No wonder there was a hint of intoxication in her eyes...

  It's also... If Guan Yan Qing were awake, she probably wouldn't be saying these things to herself either.

  "You're drunk, I'll help you back to rest..." said Jiang Shen.

  "I didn't drink." Guan Yan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  "Guān Yán Xiāo... you're eating red wine ice cream!" Jiāng Shèn held the ice cream up in front of Guān Yán Xiāo so she could see the words, "This really does contain red wine, with an alcohol content."

  "Really?" Guan Yanhong hurriedly raised her hand to cover her scorching cheeks, "I didn't notice at all..."

  Her face was slightly flushed with a hint of intoxication, and her eyes were watery, exuding a few parts of charm. Her clumsy movement of hurriedly covering her cheeks with her hand was awkward yet adorable, causing Jiang Chen's heart to skip a beat.

  Jiang Shen's gaze fell on Guan Yan's tender, cherry-red lips, and a surge of electricity rushed to his brain. In that moment... he actually wanted to kiss her.

  "No wonder I felt like my face was burning all along." Guan Yan's eyes turned red as she lowered her head.

  No wonder... I feel more and more nostalgic for Tang Xiao, it turns out that alcohol has magnified the thoughts in my heart.

  Jiang Shen gazed at Guan Yanrou, under the resplendent lights of the Jiang family estate... He could even see the faint glint of light on Guan Yanrou's eyelashes.

  "Yan Hong..." Jiang Shen's voice softened. In fact, he didn't need to ask, Jiang Shen already knew... Guan Yan Hong missed Tang Xiao.

  According to Jiang Shen's estimation, Guan Dai Shuo is also hiding from Guan Yan Die now, so... Guan Yan Die must have been unable to contact Tang Xiao, which is why she was sad.

  "Guān Yán Hóng, want or not borrow you a shoulder to lean on?" Jiāng Shèn asked in a low voice.

  "No... I'm tired, going back to sleep."

  After finishing speaking, Guan Yan's face turned red as he stood up, his whole body surrounded by a thick and unrelenting sorrow.

  Jiang Shen grabbed Guan Yanrou's wrist, and Guan Yanrou stumbled forward, falling into Jiang Shen's arms, half-kneeling on the ground.

  The sweet scent of Tiantu filled Guan Yanrou's entire nasal cavity, she hurriedly raised her hand to push against Jiang Shen's chest and tried to get up, but Jiang Shen forcefully pressed Guan Yanrou back into his arms.

  Guan Yan's small hand tightly grasped Jiang Shen's shirt, her voice was like a kitten: "Jiang Shen..."

  "Guān Yán Qiāng, you don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me." Jiāng Shèn said softly, "Just... treat me as your friend, and vent your grievances if you need to."

  Her face turned even redder, she clenched her fist on Jiang Shen's clothes and whispered: "I couldn't find Tang Xiao..."

  Jiang Shen clenched his teeth tightly, his jaw muscles clearly defined.

  Can't find it, of course can't find it... because Tang Xiao this person doesn't exist at all.

  "You said you'd call his company... but it was the secretary who answered, so where did he go? Why didn't anyone tell me a thing... It wasn't until today that I realized, I actually... had no way of contacting Tang Xiao except for this phone number. I actually... still dared to say I loved him, I understood him but not his life. I also said... I love him."

  Yes, these... Jiang Shen naturally all knew that the name Tang Xiao was like a pass... completely blocking Guan Yanrou out of his life, while he could freely come and go in Guan Yanrou's life.

  "Yan Qi, actually... Tang Xiao..."

  It's not suitable for you... Jiang Shen had these five words on the tip of his tongue but didn't say them out loud, he was afraid that these five words would bring about an even bigger reaction from Guan Yanrou, if this pain was destined to be borne by Guan Yanrou, then... at least don't let it come so quickly, let her have one more peaceful day.

  "Tang Xiao probably didn't intentionally avoid contacting you." Jiang Shen could only say this one sentence in the end.

  Guan Yanmo didn't make a sound, and Jiang Shen continued to hold her in that position... until Guan Yanmo's thoughts calmed down, she slowly got up and thanked Jiang Shen before returning to her room.

  A thousand dividing lines

  "Your internship is almost over, have you thought about which hospital you want to go to?"

  At breakfast time, Jiang Shen asked Guan Yanxi while flipping through the newspaper.

  "Not yet decided... it's possible that I'll just stay at Jinjiang Hospital, after all, Jinjiang Hospital is also a well-known hospital in the country." Guan Yanrou bit her lip and said.

  "Hmm..." Jiang Shen put down the newspaper, "Every year, some graduates sharpen their heads and drill into Jinjiang Hospital. Do you need my help?"

  "That's not necessary." Guan Yanxi smiled slightly.

  "Guān yán jiàng......" Jiāng Shèn drank a mouthful of fruit juice and pointed to the corner of his mouth, "You have jam on the corner of your mouth."

  "Jam?!" Guan Yanrou raised her hand to wipe it just as Jiang Shen had already pulled out a tissue and handed it in front of Guan Yanrou.

  "Thank you..." Guan Yanxi said with gratitude.

  "Dad... you're really stupid, Dad should have helped Mom wipe her mouth just now." The servant pushed Jiang Xirui in, and a few clever sparks flashed in his gemstone-like black pupils. "On TV, the male lead always walks the jam for the female lead... Dad is so stupid!"

  A faint blush rose on Guan Yan's delicate face: "How did Little Xi wake up so early?"

  "Xiaoxi won't be able to see Mom if she doesn't get up early!"

  The servant pushed Jiang Xirui to Guan Yanru's side, and Jiang Xirui immediately hugged Guan Yanru's arm, pouting and coquettishly saying: "Mom is so busy, doesn't even have time to accompany little Xi..."

  "Then... Mom will come back early this afternoon to have dinner with Xiaoxi, okay?" Guan Yan comforted.

  "Did Mom promise Xiao Xi?" Jiang Xirui raised her head and blinked her big eyes to ask.

  "Yes, Mom promised Xiaoxi."

  "Let's make a deal!" Jiang Xirui stretched out her little thumb.

  Guan Yanhong could only go to the hospital after having breakfast with Jiang Xirui and signing the contract.

  Gang Shen put down the newspaper only after Guan Yan walked away, last night... when Gang Shen was hesitating about how to deal with this matter, Pei Dingkun happened to call him.

  Bae Jeong-kun said that Kang Jun has returned because he couldn't find Shen Wenyin in Canada and now is drunk at his place.

  Pei Dingkun inadvertently saw a photo of Tang Xiao, Shen Wenyin and their family. At a glance, he recognized that Tang Xiao was the man who took Guan Yanrou away after she had been drugged that day. He asked Jiang Shen what was going on? Wasn't it said that Guan Yanrou liked Tang Xiao? How could Tang Xiao be married without Guan Yanrou knowing?

  Actually, there has been no secret between Kang Sun and Bae Jeong-geun all along. With Bae Jeong-geun asking like this...Kang Sun poured out everything, also expressing his own hesitation and worries.

  Bae Jeong-kun thought deeply and then told Kang Sun, "Sun, some things can be hidden, but some things cannot be hidden. This matter... must be revealed to Gwak Yoon-je before she finds out herself, so as to minimize the harm done to her. But this Gwak Jun-pyo is too cruel... what is he trying to do to his own sister? If I were in his shoes... if my beloved woman suddenly became my sister or younger sibling, I would go crazy."

  However, Jiang Shen was worried about the same things... As Pei Dingkun said, if Guan Yanhong knew that the one she loved was her own brother... would she go crazy?

  "There's another way, be careful... anyway, since you said that Guan Yanxi doesn't plan to have any contact with the Guan family in the future, then... just don't let her know that Tang Xiao is actually Guan Zhanxiao, directly let her know that Tang Xiao has a wife already. It's perfect that you like Guan Yanxi, so accompany her well... this way can minimize the harm and also keep this woman by your side and Xiao Xi's side, what do you think?"

  Jiang Shencheng's heart skipped a beat.

  Bae Jeong-kun's last words moved Kang Sun-jin, keeping Guan Yan-xi by his and Xiao Xi's side?

  Although what Bae Jeong-kun said was unrefined and rough, it wasn't entirely unreasonable...

  If Guan Yanxi only knew that Tang Xiao had a wife and children, with her kind and gentle nature... she would not have wanted to destroy someone else's family, right? That way... he could openly keep her by his side.

  Really... is this okay? Will it also minimize the damage?

  Gang Sun and Bae Jeong-kun hung up the phone and thought for a whole night.

  He called Tang Xiao's office and asked Tang Xiao's secretary to inform Tang Xiao... hoping that when Tang Xiao had time, he would call him back. He wanted to talk to Tang Xiao about Guan Mai Shuo.

  So... now Jiang Shen is waiting for Tang Xiao's phone call.

  Those words about Tang Xiao having a wife can't be said by Jiang Shen... they have to be said by Tang Xiao himself.

  Only in this way can Guan Yu die of a broken heart.

  Only in this way can the harm be minimized.

  Pei Dingkun is right... Hiding it isn't a solution, some things can't be hidden. If one day Guan Yanyu finds out by herself... the pain will come back even more fiercely.

  If Guan Zhanxiao remains silent and disappears like this, Guan Yanrou may wait indefinitely in an uncertain state.

  "Dad... what are you thinking about?" Jiang Xirui tilted her little head to look at Jiang Shen, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

  "Uh... I'll go now." Jiang Shen stood up and put his phone in his suit pocket, kissed Jiang Xirui's little head, and left.

  Jiang Shencang mentioned the name Guan Dianshuo... Tang Xiao should call him back as soon as he receives the secretary's notification.

  As expected, this phone call did not make Jiang Shenjiu wait in vain.

  Jiang Shen's car had just stopped in the underground parking garage, and he hadn't even had time to unfasten his seatbelt when Tang Xiao's call came.

  Jiang Shen gazed at the phone screen with narrowed eyes, and if Tang Xiao were standing in front of him right now, Jiang Shen really wanted to give Tang Xiao a solid punch.

  Jiang Shencai took a deep breath and answered the phone, his lips curled up in a clear smile: "Are you saying... I should call you President Tang or President Guan?"

  On the other end of the phone, Guan Mai was gritting his teeth, his eyes scarlet: "Yan Hong... also knows?"

  "She still doesn't know...... How, do you want her to know?"

  His face turned red with rage, his voice was harsh: "What conditions do you need to shut up?"

  Jiang Shenyi flared up as soon as he heard Guan Daxiao's words: "Guan Daxiao... do you think I made this call to threaten you?"

  "Such a result... You should be delighted, you've fallen in love with Yan Hong, haven't you? I will thoroughly disappear from Yan Hong's life... You have an opportunity now!"

  Jiang Shencang's eyes narrowed: "How come I sense a tone of discontent in your words?"

  "Give me a condition!" Guan Mai Xiao had no patience to argue with Jiang Shen anymore.

  Jiang Shen originally wanted to solve the problem, but it seems that Guan Zhanxu has a deep opinion about Jiang Shen. The two of them probably won't be able to calmly and peacefully resolve their issues in this lifetime.

  "Tell Guan Yanxi... you have a wife and children, let her thoroughly give up on you, this... is my condition."

  "Are you crazy, Jiang Shen?!" Guan Mai Xiao growled in a low voice. "You're happy seeing Guan Yan Qi suffer, aren't you?! I've already chosen to completely disappear from Guan Yan Qi's life, and you've had your chance...I'll never return to China again, so...are you still not satisfied?!"

  "Guān Zhuō! Do you think some things can be hidden? You think that by completely disappearing, Guān Yán Hóng will shift her love to someone else?" Jiāng Shèn's eyes sank extremely low. "Is it that you, Táng Xiāo, don't understand Guān Yán Hóng, or are you too confident in your own naive thoughts? Have you ever thought... that disappearing without warning might make Guān Yán Hóng wait for you her whole life?! Her whole life, do you understand?!"

  The person on the other end of the phone, Guan Mai Shuo, was stunned, and the whole world seemed to have come to a standstill. He... had never thought that Jiang Shen would say something like this.

  "Guān Zhuó... I really don't understand whether you knew from the beginning that Guān Yán Hóng was your sister, or if you found out later. But since you're already married and have children, why did you come to bother Guān Yán Hóng?!" Jiāng Shèn didn't get angry at all, and his tone was surprisingly calm when he said this.

  "I knew your identity from the day I went to Guan's house, but I never told Guan Yanruo... because I didn't know how to handle it without making her sad and painful. I thought my brain was good enough, but I couldn't think of a way! Jiang Shen could hear the rough breathing with a slight tremble on the other end, and he said, "Since things have already happened... you also said you would never return to your country, and Guan Yanruo will never return to the Guan family either. So... you can hide the fact that you are Guan Yanruo's brother, but... you cannot hide the fact that you have a wife and children, even if it's for Guan Yanruo's happiness. I hope... you call Guan Yanruo and tell her clearly. This way... Guan Yanruo may be in pain, but with me by her side, she won't be so heartbroken."

  Every word and every sentence that Jiang Shen said was heard by Guan Zhan's heart.

  He could leave with peace of mind... because Guan Yanrou still had Jiang Shen by her side, if... he didn't dare think about it, the thought that he made Guan Yanrou wait for a lifetime.

  "Guān Zhuó... even if you knew Guān Yán Hóng was your sister, you still fell in love with her, didn't you?" Jiāng Shèn clenched his teeth. "Facing one's emotions isn't shameful, love has nothing to do with human relationships. Even if you two are siblings by blood, love is not wrong, and I acknowledge that you two love each other. It's precisely because you two love each other that you must... let Yán Hóng give up."

  Tears flooded her eyes, her throat was aching...

  They truly loved each other... Yes, he and Guan Yanxi were genuinely in love!

  But between them lay too many things, including blood ties...including hatred, and...Guan Musheng's family.

  Guan Dianshuo can abandon Shen Wenheng, can also abandon the revenge of Luolun, and even can abandon his mother's hatred to leave with Guan Yanyi, but... Guan Dianshuo cannot abandon his own two children.

  He is the father of these two children! Even if he loves Guan Yanhong... With two children and those trivial entanglements, Guan Zhanxu did not have the courage to leave.

  During this time, whether he was indulging in luxury or reveling in the excitement of the world... even if the whole world was bustling with joy, Guan Shanke was still lonely.

  He repeatedly depicted in his heart the delicate face of Guan Yanxi, depicting the warm smile at the corner of her lips when she and he drove side by side that night, depicting... until his own heart was broken.

  He missed that soft and gentle voice calling him "Tang Xiao... Tang Xiao..."

  Guan Yanruo... That is Guan Zhaoshi's lifelong tribulation.

  If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have gone to find Yan Ruhua and her mother. If I had known...I wouldn't have stolen Grandfather's gun and prepared to kill Guan Yanzhu at any time.

  If it weren't for all of this... he wouldn't have experienced the beauty of Guan Yanxi, wouldn't have fallen in love with Guan Yanxi, and even more so... wouldn't be suffering to the point of not wanting to live like now.

  He painfully lowered his eyes and said: "I understand, I will do it..."

  "It's a bit cruel..." Jiang Shen furrowed his brow, "but it has to be done."

  "I understand." Guan Zhenxu took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing and asked, "Jiang Shen... can you take good care of Yan Hong? Forever... protect her?"

  "I can, and I will." Jiang Shen replied firmly.

  He nodded and hung up the phone without saying a word.

  Jiang Shen heard the noise from over there, grabbed his coat and got out of the car, walking towards the elevator.

  He put on his coat and walked into the elevator, he will... He must!

  Jiang Shenhui had been secretly in love with Guan Yanyu, because he knew that Guan Yanyu already had someone she loved.

  Now... Since he has disappeared at the end of that road for Guan Yanxi, he will turn around... and pave the road in his own direction, letting Guan Yanxi walk to his side.

  A thousand dividing lines
