Chapter 207: Divorce
Fang Liu looked at the man’s gentle expression as her heart grew bitter and sad. It was difficult for Fang Liu to hold her tears back. “I-I need you to sign this.”
Fang Liu placed the document on Mo Yu’s desk. The man was stunned, then he looked up at Fang Liu, feeling conflicted. “Are those divorce papers?”
Fang Liu felt guilty under Mo Yu’s gaze. She averted her eyes and dared not look at Mo Yu. Then the man noticed that Fang Liu’s eyes were red and swollen. He guessed that Fang Liu had cried before coming into his office to see him.
Mo Yu’s heart softened as he walked toward Fang Liu and hugged her. “Why would you want to divorce me when you’ve agreed to stay with me in front of your mother? Have I been neglecting you lately?”
Fang Liu shook her head vigorously. “You’ve been very good to me. It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault!” Fang Liu didn’t say anything else and insisted on getting divorced.
Yesterday, Xiao Chen sent Fang Liu a message. Xiao Chen said he would tell Mo Yu the truth if Fang Liu didn’t file for divorce. Fang Liu’s vision instantly blurred when she read the message.
Fang Liu couldn’t let Mo Yu find out that the child belonged to Xiao Chen. She knew that Mo Yu would lose his mind if he discovered the truth. Fang Liu wanted Mo Yu to keep his good impression of her.
Fang Liu said with utter sadness, “Mo Yu, I’ve already thought it through. I’ve also found a house and will be moving within the next two days.”
Mo Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger and bitterness in his heart. Then he looked at Fang Liu sternly and said, “Let’s put the divorce aside for now. Are you determined to move out? If so, I suggest bringing Ah Yu with you, or I won’t be at ease.”
“A-All right,” Fang Liu replied.
This was all the Yu-Liu duo could do for the time being. After all, a divorce could not be resolved in just a day or two. Fang Liu knew that it was unrealistic for Mo Yu to agree to the divorce so suddenly. After all, she had built such a profound and loving relationship with the man.
‘Perhaps Mo Yu’s feelings for me will fade after being separated for a while, and I won’t be so sad.’
The following day, Fang Liu packed her things and moved to a small apartment in the eastern district.
Before Ah Yu left with Fang Liu, Mo Yu looked for her and said in a deep voice, “Please look after Fang Liu for me. I want you to call me the moment you have any problems.”
Mo Yu collapsed onto his chair after Ah Yu left.

…
Three days had passed, and Mo Yu hadn’t slept a wink. His eyes were bloodshot and dark circles appeared around his eyes.
Mo Yu held his forehead and thought of how his beautiful wife had left him. He could not help but feel a piercing pain in his heart. Fang Liu had only left for a short while, yet Mo Yu missed her crazily.
‘There’s no way I’m going to agree to the divorce. Not in this lifetime.’ Mo Yu was determined.
Mo Yu only agreed to let Fang Liu move out because he had to deal with some major family issues. With Fang Liu gone, Mo Yu would be able to protect her from the Mo family’s matters.

Mo Yu couldn’t bear to see Fang Liu get hurt since something had already happened to his grandfather. But Mo Yu wondered why Fang Liu was so determined to divorce him.
Mo Yu did not suspect that Fang Liu had fallen in love with another man. He had absolute confidence in himself and believed in their relationship. Mo Yu felt that he needed to investigate this matter further.
After making some arrangements, Mo Yu finally lay on the bed, exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep. When Mo Yu fell asleep, he unconsciously lowered his head and smelled the faint fragrance of Fang Liu’s perfume on the pillow.
Mo Yu saw Fang Liu in his slumber. Fang Liu held a child’s hand and waved to Mo Yu from across the road. Mo Yu thought his wife was calling him over when she turned around and walked away with the child.
There was heavy traffic blocking Mo Yu from crossing the road. He could only watch as Fang Liu, and the child disappeared from his sight.
“Fang Liu!” Mo Yu cried out in pain and woke up from his nightmare. He was utterly flustered and realized that he had slept for more than three hours.
Mo Yu hurriedly contacted his bodyguard and asked, “Where’s Fang Liu?”
On the other side, a bodyguard heard Mo Yu’s urgent question as he stood outside the residential area where Fang Liu lived. He thought something terrible had happened to Fang Liu and hurriedly replied, “Young Madam Fang hasn’t come out of the area for a long while. Do you need me to go over and take a look?”
Mo Yu pondered and shook his head as if the bodyguard could see him. “T-There’s no need. You can just stand guard. Just let me know if you see anything unusual.”
After hanging up the phone, Mo Yu rubbed his eyebrows and sat up.
When Fang Liu moved into the small apartment, she dragged her heavy and exhausted body across the living room to open the curtains. There were two floors to Fang Liu’s apartment, but it was inconvenient for her to sleep on the second floor, so she allowed Ah Yu to stay there.
