Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 162 - 156: She Is Not Ungrateful

Since she had decided on divorce, Bai Yiran had no reason to stay in Leng Yichen’s house any longer. She informed Lou Jing to come and help pack her things, deciding to move out today.

In fact, she hadn’t lived there for very long, and there weren’t many things that truly belonged to her. She could easily pack and take everything on her own, but she didn’t want to leave this place all alone. That would make her feel quite pitiful. At least with Lou Jing’s company, she’d feel a bit better.

Lou Jing arrived quickly. It was her first time here, but she wasn’t in the mood to appreciate how luxurious the house was. She just wanted to take Bai Yiran away from here as soon as possible.

The two quickly packed up Bai Yiran’s belongings, each carrying a suitcase downstairs, when they happened to run into Sister Liu returning home.

Seeing Bai Yiran with a suitcase shocked Sister Liu, "Yiran, what are you doing?"

"Sister Liu, thank you for taking care of me during this time. I’m leaving here," Bai Yiran said softly, but she sincerely thanked Sister Liu. After all, when Leng Yichen wasn’t around, it was Sister Liu who kept her company.

"What happened?" Sister Liu became anxious, holding Bai Yiran’s hand, "Why are you leaving?"

"Leng Yichen and I are getting a divorce..."

"Divorce!" Sister Liu was shocked, "Mr. Leng is usually very busy, Yiran you should be more understanding. I thought you two were so in love; how can you just divorce like this?"

"Understanding of what!" Lou Jing coldly pulled Sister Liu’s hand off Bai Yiran, "Leng Yichen cheated. Should Yiran just put up with it?"

Sister Liu was stunned; she couldn’t believe it. In her eyes, Leng Yichen would never cheat while married, "Yiran, could this be a misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding! He admitted it himself!" Lou Jing was a bit impatient, pulling Bai Yiran toward the door, "Why waste words here, let’s go!"

Bai Yiran looked apologetically at Sister Liu, knowing Sister Liu was innocent. Lou Jing didn’t need to treat her that way. However, from Lou Jing’s perspective, she was just standing up for her friend. Since they couldn’t confront Leng Yichen, venting a little anger on his housekeeper wasn’t too bad.

So, once again, Bai Yiran stayed at Lou Jing’s home. When she got married, she had kept it from her grandmother and family; now she had to hide the divorce from them too.

Bai Yiran felt like a sinner, burdening her family and friends with her problems.

Not long ago, she had confidently assured her grandmother she would be happy. But where was happiness now?

After learning about Leng Yichen’s infidelity, Lou Jing quit the studio Leng Yichen had set up for her. She stayed home every day watching over Bai Yiran, afraid that her friend might do something foolish in a moment of despair.

But Bai Yiran felt Lou Jing was just overthinking. She wouldn’t give up her life over emotional setbacks. After all, living was more important than anything.

"What’s your plan next?" Lou Jing asked lightly.

Bai Yiran sat on the bed, looking out the window, "After formally completing the divorce procedures with Leng Yichen, I want to leave here."

"Where to?"

Bai Yiran smiled, "I don’t know, maybe to a simple place. After all this, my deepest understanding is that the worst is often human nature. I want to go where there aren’t so many bad people."

Lou Jing chuckled, "Silly girl, there are bad people everywhere! Well, go wherever you want, I’ll go with you!"

Bai Yiran turned to look at Lou Jing, her heart full of gratitude. Heaven hadn’t been too harsh on her; at least she had a good friend by her side in her most vulnerable times.

Her phone rang just then. Seeing Leng Yichen’s name on the caller ID, Bai Yiran’s hand paused mid-air before resolutely answering, "What is it?"

"Do you have time this afternoon?"

"Yes."

"Alright, I’ll send a car to pick you up."

"For what?"

"To sign the divorce papers."

Bai Yiran’s hand holding the phone trembled, "Okay."
