Hades, the Urban Legend

Chapter 673: Chapter 676: Just as You Said

"Lin Zong got married?" "Her husband is Director Yang?" "Never heard of it!" "Who knows? I really didn't expect it to be like this." "No wonder she trusts Director Yang so much."

The executives following behind whispered among themselves, clearly very excited about this revelation. This was much bigger news than Chris, the new HR director!

Wu Yue also showed a look of sudden realization. She finally understood why Yang Chen always inexplicably went straight to find Lin Ruoxi and why Lin Ruoxi would inexplicably agree to see him. Wu Yue secretly glanced at her boss with some frustration. She couldn't understand why she, as the closest assistant, didn't know Lin Ruoxi was already married. She had been pointlessly guarding against Yang Chen, while they were actually a family! She felt like a clown in this whole situation!

Yang Chen exchanged glances with Mo Qianni and Liu Mingyu before walking expressionlessly to the front of the group, standing directly opposite Lin Ruoxi. He said calmly, "Come with me."

Lin Ruoxi coldly stared at the man for a moment without responding. She silently brushed past Yang Chen and continued walking towards the corridor.

Yang Chen turned around and said, "I'll count to three. If you don't come with me willingly, you'll regret it."

Lin Ruoxi paused in her steps but then continued walking outside without paying him any attention.

"One."

Lin Ruoxi kept walking.

"Two..."

Everyone watched the two with a mix of concern and curiosity, not understanding what was happening with this previously hidden couple.

Yang Chen didn't count to "three." Instead, he turned around and quickly caught up to Lin Ruoxi. To everyone's shock, he bent down and lifted her into his arms!

Lin Ruoxi felt her legs suddenly leave the ground, her body supported by the man's strong arms! If not for her strong self-control, she would have screamed out loud!

Being lifted up in front of everyone at the company by this guy?!

Lin Ruoxi didn't know what she felt. She wished this was all a dream, but there was no time to think. Yang Chen was already striding towards the elevator outside the corridor.

Mo Qianni and Liu Mingyu exchanged a glance, reading worry and confusion in each other's eyes, but they knew this was not something they should intervene in.

It wasn't until they entered the elevator that Lin Ruoxi snapped out of her shock. She started to struggle, trying to break free from Yang Chen's arms, staring at him with grief and anger. But no matter how much she twisted and turned, Yang Chen's grip was too strong. Her legs were tightly locked, and her arms firmly held, making it impossible for her to get down.

The elevator descended floor by floor, stopping two or three times on the way. When people outside saw the scene inside, they all had incredibly shocked expressions.

The eternally icy, unapproachable beauty CEO was being princess-carried by Director Yang from the branch office in the elevator?!

This scene made all the employees outside too scared to enter the elevator.

Lin Ruoxi felt so humiliated she wanted to die. She wished she could bite off a piece of flesh from Yang Chen's chest. She even wondered if he had gone mad!

Yang Chen lowered his head, a slight mischievous smile on his lips. "Lin Ruoxi, you'd better stop struggling. If you make me angry, simply carrying you will be the least of your worries. When we reach the first-floor lobby, there will be more people, and I might not be able to resist kissing you in front of everyone."

Lin Ruoxi felt as if she had been electrocuted, instantly becoming still. However, her heart was filled with grievance, and tears welled up in her eyes as she gritted her teeth, saying, "You devil..."

"Oh!" Yang Chen's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily. "You finally spoke to me, dear. How did you know one of my nicknames is 'devil'? Hearing you talk to me feels so good."

Lin Ruoxi closed her eyes in resignation. She knew she couldn't escape Yang Chen's clutches.

However, Yang Chen wasn't too cruel. He didn't stop in the lobby but continued to the parking lot. Once there, he put Lin Ruoxi into his car and then drove away from the building.

Lin Ruoxi had stopped crying, her lips pale, staring out the window, unwilling to look at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen couldn't be bothered to say much, driving quickly to their destination, a spot near Central Square in the west district.

After parking, Yang Chen got out and opened the door for Lin Ruoxi. "Get out."

Lin Ruoxi sat still, seemingly determined to ignore Yang Chen.

Yang Chen narrowed his eyes. "If you don't cooperate, do you want me to carry you there?"

Lin Ruoxi glared at him angrily but reluctantly got out of the car. She tidied her slightly messy appearance and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Just follow me," Yang Chen said with a mysterious smile, turning to lead the way.

Lin Ruoxi had no choice but to follow him step by step.

The scene on the square was quite eye-catching: an ordinary-looking, lazy man yawning as he walked in front, while a stunningly beautiful woman in a gray dress and blue blouse reluctantly followed behind. It looked like a troubled couple from a movie, making passersby curious about their story.

A few minutes later, they arrived at a café by a fountain.

Lin Ruoxi looked puzzled. She naturally recognized this place; it was where she had brought Yang Chen for the first time.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten," Yang Chen said, turning back with a smile. "This is where we signed our marriage agreement."

Lin Ruoxi's expression became somewhat dazed as she seemed to recall something, nodding numbly.

Yang Chen chuckled and led the way inside.

Though it had been a year since they last came, many decorations and staff had changed. After a new young waiter led them upstairs, Yang Chen requested to sit in the same private booth they had used before.

The same location, the same people, but different circumstances.

"Sir, what would you like to drink?" the waiter asked politely. fr𝑜m freewebnøvel.com.

Yang Chen said, "This lady needs Blue Mountain coffee, with milk but no sugar. I'll have Naples, American style."

The waiter acknowledged and was about to leave when Yang Chen called him back. "Bring me some A4 paper and a pen. You have those here, right?" he asked.

The waiter was a bit surprised but quickly nodded. "Yes, we do. Please wait a moment."

Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Chen with a complicated expression. She remembered that during their first meeting here, she had ordered Blue Mountain coffee, and Yang Chen still remembered that she liked it with milk but no sugar.

When the waiter brought the coffee, A4 paper, and pen, Yang Chen dismissed him, leaving the booth in silence.

Without a word, Yang Chen picked up the pen, took a sheet of paper, and started writing on it.

"What did you bring me here for?" Lin Ruoxi disliked situations that were out of her control. She was increasingly puzzled by Yang Chen's intentions.

Yang Chen quickly wrote a few large characters on the paper, then held it up in front of Lin Ruoxi.

Her confused and impatient gaze instantly turned into shock and bewilderment, with a trace of panic.

It felt like a block of ice had dropped into her heart, filling her with an uncomfortable chill. On the paper, in bold letters, it read: "Divorce Agreement."

He wanted a divorce?!

Lin Ruoxi had never imagined that Yang Chen's sudden actions would lead to such a decision!

Yang Chen chuckled and said, "Ruoxi dear, you seem very slow to react. Do you think I suddenly exposed our relationship in public for no reason? Do you think I carried you without caring about others' opinions, even though you looked at me as if you wanted to kill me? That's right, I've already decided to divorce you. Since I'm planning to divorce, I don't care about leaving any fallback plans in front of you."

Lin Ruoxi's hands, placed on her lap, tightly clenched her skirt, her knuckles turning white. She bit her lip, finding it hard to breathe, as if she were suffocating.

"Things have reached this point. I no longer want to bother with right or wrong. Maybe everything is destined. Writing the divorce agreement in the place where we signed our marriage contract makes for a nice ending, doesn't it?" Yang Chen said with a faint smile.

Lin Ruoxi's moist eyes stared intently into Yang Chen's, trying to see if he was serious.

In the end, Lin Ruoxi saw no hint of a joke in Yang Chen's eyes. He truly wanted to divorce her!

After a brief look of deep sorrow on her face, Lin Ruoxi seemed relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. She smiled lightly and said, "It seems you have made a perfect decision."

Yang Chen's smile faded, and he said solemnly, "On my way to the company, I called to check on the divorce procedures. We need our household registration book, ID cards, and marriage certificate, but those are minor issues. The main thing is a reasonable divorce agreement. For most couples, there might be issues with property and child custody, but we don't have children, and as for property, it doesn't matter. You don't lack money, and neither do I, so we'll just write it based on our current situation. You have no objections, right?"

"No objections," Lin Ruoxi said coldly, lowering her head to pick up her coffee.

Her hand trembled slightly as she held the cup, but Lin Ruoxi quickly steadied her wrist, preventing the coffee from spilling.

After taking a sip, Lin Ruoxi gently exhaled. "Go ahead and write it. As you said, there's nothing we need to dispute."
