Chapter 14 You want me to get a divorce? Dream on.

"You bastard, you jerk! I'm calling the police to arrest you for molesting me!!!"

Liu Ruyan said, tightly clenching her small fists.

"Fine by me. Go ahead. We're a legally married couple with a certificate. Even if the Men in Blue show up, what do you think they'll do? They'll probably just give you a lecture about not making false reports!!!"

These were the exact words Liu Ruyan had used to refute Chen Yan when he threatened to call the police earlier.

"Arghhhhh..."

Using her own logic against her, Liu Ruyan was left speechless by Chen Yan's rogue-like response and began to grow frustrated.

At this moment, she realized that her old tricks for manipulating him no longer worked on this man who had even changed his name to Chen Yan.

Could it be that this bastard was telling the truth? Was he really not her simping Live-in Son-in-law?

After going in circles, Liu Ruyan finally calmed down enough to think about Chen Yan's words.

However, at that critical moment, Chen Yan just had to open his mouth.

After all, he wasn't a mind reader; how could he possibly know what was going on in Liu Ruyan's head at every moment?

" 'I' what? If you're annoyed by me, just say it. Even though I'm not your Live-in Son-in-law, Chen Yan, I don't mind signing the divorce papers on his behalf. I'll leave with nothing, not a single penny."

As soon as he said this, the progress bar in Liu Ruyan's head that was confirming he wasn't her husband instantly paused. Her brain started working overtime, and she immediately reached a conclusion.

The Chen Yan before her was definitely the Live-in Son-in-law husband she knew, Chen Yan. He had deliberately said those things just to provoke her, hoping she'd get a divorce in the heat of the moment.

Upon realizing this, Liu Ruyan felt as refreshed as if she'd downed a bottle of Sprite on a hot summer day—cool to the core and heart soaring. She felt great, as if she had seen through everything.

"You want me to get a divorce? In your dreams!!!"

"I've already seen through your little scheme."

Then, Liu Ruyan looked at Chen Yan and spoke with a face full of disdain.

At the same time, she crossed her arms and tilted her chin up high. Her Tsundere expression seemed to say: 'I've seen through you, so stop acting.'

Hearing this, Chen Yan was speechless, nearly coughing up a mouthful of vintage 1982 blood in frustration.

How did this woman's brain suddenly start working now? He was counting on her to explode in anger, throw some money at him, and let him leave in style.

"Fine, fine, fine. You're the boss. Whatever you say, okay?"

His plan having failed, Chen Yan didn't get angry. He simply leaned back into the soft first-class seat and closed his eyes, too lazy to argue with her any further. He had to admit, this alphard was a nice car; the seats were so comfortable that he soon began to drift off.

And just like that, the car fell silent.

Hearing no sound, Liu Ruyan stole a glance at him. Seeing that this dog of a man was actually closing his eyes to sleep, she felt a surge of anger.

"Hey! Chen Yan!"

"What now?"

Chen Yan opened his eyes, looking helpless.

"You... why did you do that just now?"

Liu Ruyan bit her lip, the flush on her face not yet fully faded. As she spoke, there was even a hint of shyness in her eyes.

"Do what?"

Chen Yan played dumb.

"Just... just..."

Liu Ruyan stammered, unable to say it out loud, and could only give him a fierce glare.

"Oh, you mean me kissing you?"

Chen Yan realized with a start, then looked innocent. "Wait... didn't you say you'd seen through everything? Why do you need me to explain anything now?"

"You!!!"

Liu Ruyan's chest heaved with anger at his rogue-like behavior, but she couldn't find any words to refute him.

Right, she had indeed said that. If she pressed him on this now, wouldn't she be slapping her own face?

But...

Liu Ruyan subconsciously pursed her lips. The sensation of that kiss still lingered, leaving her flustered.

If she didn't get a clear answer, she felt like she'd never be at peace.

"Fine, you win."

Liu Ruyan squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, then turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

Silence fell over the car once again.

Chen Yan was happy for the peace and quiet and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

He had to admit, the alphard's seats were incredibly comfortable—just the right amount of softness, and they even had a massage function. Chen Yan felt his lower back being massaged into relaxation, and in his daze, he actually fell asleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed before the car gave a slight jolt and came to a stop.

"Miss, we've arrived."

The driver's voice came from the front.

Liu Ruyan opened her eyes and glanced out the window; it was indeed the garage of her own villa.

She turned to look at Chen Yan beside her and found that the guy was sound asleep, even snoring softly.

In his sleep, his brow was slightly relaxed, lacking the reckless, rogue-like air he had when awake. His features actually looked quite handsome.

Suddenly, Liu Ruyan froze, startled by her own thought.

Please, the man before her was the simping Live-in Son-in-law husband she used to despise the most. How could she think he was handsome?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

But despite her denial, she unconsciously licked her rosy, cherry-like lips, as if reminiscing about that kiss from earlier...
