Unable to Divorce After Signing the Marriage Contract

Deep, Magnetic Voice Causing Tingling Sensations on The Ears (5)

Lin Yu He nodded.

He knew that Shen Hui Xi’s family was in Yan City, and he also knew that his family was very well-off. Once, during Shen Hui Xi’s birthday, the few of them even went to his family’s villa to attend his birthday party.

Shen Hui Xi looked at him, “I received an invitation, for tomorrow.”

Lin Yu He sensed that something was off and had a vague sense of foreboding.

“…… what invitation?”

Sure enough, Shen Hui Xi said, “Invitation to an engagement party, between Mr. Lu Nan and …… you.”

The space suddenly went silent, the type of silence that one can only hear the faint whistling wind outside.

Lin Yu He opened his mouth several times, wanting to speak, but it was a little difficult to get started.

He hadn’t told his classmates about the marriage.

Finally, it was Shen Hui Xi who broke the silence. “The day after Wednesday’s exam, he was the one who came to school to look for you, right?”

Lin Yu He nodded. “Yes.”

“You and him …… you two ……”

Although he had been used to seeing couples together as a form of agreement, Shen Hui Xi was still somewhat speechless when this happened to his young roommate.

About this marriage, he already knew too much, so he was even more afraid to speak about it in front of Lin Yu He.

Shen Hui Xi wiped his face and finally said, “I don’t mean anything else, just, do you know Mr Lu’s age?”

Lin Yu He pursed his lips: “Thirty-one.”

Shen Hui Xi said, “Yeah, he is ten years older than us.”

Ten years was not really a big difference. However, Zhen Ling was right. People at their age, in their early twenties, there were very few of them who’d consider marriage. But thirty was different. Thirty means that you are already well versed and in control of your life.

This was a match-up that was destined to be unfair.

Shen Hui Xi sighed silently and did not ask any more questions.

He changed his expression to a lighter one and asked, “Tomorrow, right? What time are you going out?”

Lin Yu He muttered slowly, “Seven o’clock in the morning.”

Shen Hui Xi nodded. “Okay.”

Having been classmates for four years, he knew about Lin Yu He’s family background, understood the Wu family’s situation, and he also knew that the male had never been exposed to that circle.

The most distinctive feature of those so-called upper-class, elite circles was not anything extravagant, classy, elegant, or flashy.

Rather, it was the rules.

The rules that must be obeyed on the surface, rules that were secretly agreed upon in the background, bind one so tightly and made one felt superior. The innumerable rules.

Someone like Lin Yu He, who came into contact with these for the first time, was bound to have a hard time.

Shen Hui Xi said, “I will go home first tomorrow morning, then I’ll head over earlier to the hotel to keep you company.”

He did not know how many exceptions the legendary cold-faced and cold-hearted CEO Lu would make for the engagement partner of the marriage agreement, but Shen Hui Xi knew the guest list, and at tomorrow’s engagement party, Mr. Lu will be very busy from just socializing.

It’s best if Lin Yu He had someone to look after him, but if there’s no one, he could be of some help.

Lin Yu He was in a daze and only then did he realize that Shen Hui Xi probably made a trip back to school tonight in order to talk to himself about this matter.

Otherwise, he could have just slept at home.

“Thank-”

The word ‘thank’ barely escaped past his lips, and Lin Yu He was already lightly punched by Shen Hui Xi on his shoulder.

“Come on, what’s there to be courteous about between buddies?”

Shen Hui Xi ended and looked at Lin Yu He’s shoulder. “We already came inside for so long, why is your body still so cold? Just how long have you been standing outside?”

Lin Yu He said, “Not that long.”

Shen Hui Xi was a bit helpless. “Hurry return to the dormitory to warm up.”

They went downstairs together and when they were waiting for the elevator, Shen Hui Xi suddenly called out to Lin Yu He.

“He He.”

Lin Yu He looked back at him. “Hm?”

Shen Hui Xi wanted to say something but stopped, then eventually still spoke under Lin Yu He’s puzzled gaze. “I’ll look for you tomorrow when I get to the hotel. Remember to keep an eye on your phone.”

Lin Yu He nodded: “Okay.”

Shen Hui Xi looked at him and didn’t say anything else.

He accidentally learned the truth about the marriage and also saw that Lin Yu He was not quite in the mood. He did not want to add more to the other party’s burden, so ultimately, he still held back from saying something.

Thirty years old. It meant talks about marriage were nothing new.

Especially among the elite class members with deep connections and rich assets like Mr. Lu.

There are some things Lin Yu He had never gotten exposed to, but Shen Hui Xi was very clear with them.

Tomorrow’s engagement party, in addition to those family and friends with their own motives, there will be a variety of investors, collaborators, business partners ……

And the former engagement partner of Mr. Lu.
