I hope heaven can hear her prayers and let Chu Jinpeng return in time.

  …………

  Shen Youxia has been gone for ten days now, with no news or any sign of her returning.

  Zhu Yunyan felt extremely uncomfortable and annoyed. He thought that the reason for this inexplicable anger was that Shen Youxia had always been by his side, appearing in front of him every day, but suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't adapt to it.

  That's right, Shen Youxia used to love him so much, no matter what he did, it was all centered around himself, every word and action was afraid of doing something wrong, making himself unhappy.

  So now Shen Youxia's indifferent attitude towards himself makes him uncomfortable, and his completely disregarding himself makes him angry.

  It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable and angry at this sudden change.

  He absolutely wouldn't think that Shen Youxia is important to him just because of this little thing, what a joke, the person he dislikes the most in this world is Shen Youxia.

  It must be a long time since I last enjoyed days without Shen Yue and Xia Zhiguang appearing.

  Anyway, he didn't want to marry Shen Youxia either, and now she wants a divorce, so let's just get divorced.

  Zhu Yunyan had made up his mind that when the Empress Dowager's one-year deadline arrived, he would take the initiative to propose a divorce. He was renowned for generations and could not let Shen Youxia dominate him in this matter of marriage. The decision to divorce was also his to make, and it was he who would have the final say.

  Zhu Yunyan didn't tell anyone about her plan, but Shen Youxia guessed it anyway. She was also taking advantage of this year to study and prepare for the single life after divorce.

  Having gone through the things of her past life, Shen Youxia understood very well that if a person wanted to stand firm and get what they wanted, they had to have enough ability to match up. Otherwise, the higher you stood, the more painful the fall would be. No one would accompany you at the bottom forever.

  Although Shen Yuxia was in the end city, she would take out two or three hours every day to study, and even called over the nanny who taught her etiquette and management when she was a child.

  At the same time, those who are working hard to learn and improve themselves are not only Shen Youxia, but also Li Yue.

  She grew up with Zhu Yunyan since childhood, and the idea of distinction between master and servant was heard more than others. She is also more concerned about this point. Especially recently, Zhu Yunyan's attitude towards her has become much colder, making her feel an unprecedented crisis.

  She used to think that being able to become Zhu Yunyan's concubine was already a great blessing, but after seeing Shen Youxia, such an incompetent and useless person, becoming the Crown Princess, her heart grew bigger.

  According to Zhu Yunyan's idea of becoming the person he wants to be, Li Yue firmly believes that this will narrow the gap between them. She must now prove herself, prove that she has listened to Zhu Yunyan's words, prove that he did not misjudge her, and more importantly, prove that she has enough ability to stand by his side and become his woman.

  Thinking of herself standing by his side as another woman in the future, Li Yue couldn't help but reveal a smile, hoping to always be there, no matter how bitter or tired she would endure.

  It's all worth it because of him.

  When Li Yue was lost in her own future happiness with a faint smile, Shen Youxia felt like she had two heads.

  She never thought that being a housekeeper and doing business would require learning so many things.

  Auntie said that her foundation was too poor, so she started learning theoretical knowledge. She brought over a stack of books, each one meter high, and read them one after another. Shen Yuxia felt that two or three hours a day were not enough for her to use, and if she wanted to finish reading quickly, she would have to sacrifice her sleep time.
