Chapter 170: For Her, It’s Just a Bit of Habit_1

Translator: 549690339

Most of the time, she had already lain down and fallen asleep.

However, each time he entered, she would be awakened. Her groggy eyes would flutter open to catch a glimpse of him, then she would pull the blanket tighter around herself, curling her body up and continuing with her slumber.

She slept quietly, able to maintain the same position all through the night, unlike him who changed positions countless times.

It was because of this stark difference in their sleeping positions that he felt comfortable when sharing a bed with her. It was as if she didn’t exist, and he was sleeping alone.

Pondering on these thoughts, Ruan Tianling realized why out of all his women, he didn’t mind Jian Yufei sleeping by his side.

It wasn’t just because she was his wife, the more significant reason was that she was quiet. When she slept, she didn’t disturb him in any way, keeping him entirely comfortable.

They had been husband and wife for over a year. Although he didn’t love her, he had in some way grown accustomed to her presence.

Perhaps he would find it tough to sleep at night once they divorced.

However, he felt that it was just a minor habituation towards her.

Habits can be changed.

That night, everyone fell asleep with a heavy heart.

Jian Yufei woke up early in the morning and set out to look for a house.

Renting a house was easy nowadays, with everything already furnished inside. All she needed to do was to pack her clothes and move in.

She chose a one-bedroom apartment in a nice neighborhood, not minding the cost, and quickly signed the contract with the landlord, paying three months’ rent along with a one-month deposit upfront.

She then returned to the hotel to collect her luggage and moved into her newly rented house.

In reality, she could have gone back to her mother’s place. Her room was still empty there. But she didn’t want to go back. That home, without her, was a complete one on its own.

With her presence, it felt as if two families were forcibly squashed together.

Anyway, she was superfluous to that home. Going back would only make her uncomfortable. She’d rather live on her own.

After spending half a day cleaning the house, Jian Yufei sat down at her desk, opened her laptop, and began writing her divorce application.

She didn’t want to wait any longer. Hence, she could only take the quickest and most assertive approach to end their marital relationship.

Jian Yufei spent the entire night writing her divorce application.

By the time she finished editing it, the sky was beginning to lighten. She yawned from exhaustion, saved the application onto a USB flash drive, shut down her laptop, and crawled into bed to sleep.

Since she had switched off her phone the day before, it had remained off.

With nobody disturbing her, she slept until two in the afternoon. On waking, she changed her clothes, grabbed her USB, and went out to grab a bite before printing the application.

Nobody knew of Jian Yufei’s initiation of the divorce proceedings.

However, the day after she submitted the application to the court, Ruan Tianling received the news. Getting the call, the man rushed to the court.

Bai Shaoming handed him the application, his face unreadable as he said, “This is the application that was received yesterday, have a look.”

Ruan Tianling took it, and on seeing the words ‘divorce application’, he narrowed his eyes instantly.

The content was simple; the first clause stated that she and he had never shared any emotions and it was painful for her to live with him.

The second clause mentioned that he had a woman he loved, and since that woman wasn’t her, she had to end this marriage.

The third clause clarified that she didn’t love him at all and wanted to divorce no matter what. If she didn’t divorce, her entire life would be held back.
