Chapter 56 Plucking That Aloof Flower

Beside them, Ruan Yaoyao was flipping through Wei Puyu’s “profile.”

【Plucking That Aloof Flower… that “aloof flower” can’t be her husband, Jiang Chongming, right?】

【Probably. It’s a sweet-wife romance after all—from school days to wedding dress. It doesn’t get more romantic than that.】

【So jealous! So, so jealous!】

Wei Puyu’s eyes widened in shock.

Wei Kaihao stepped in front of her and reminded her in a low voice, “Sis, don’t forget what you promised me!”

When did I promise you anything? Wei Puyu wanted to retort, but when she saw him gesture toward Ruan Yaoyao, she suddenly understood. Reluctantly, she said, “All you ever do is set me up. Having a brother like you is really my blessing!”

“Sorry, Sis… my fault…” Wei Kaihao apologized again.

Anyway, ever since he was little, he had never not apologized in front of his sister.

Ruan Yaoyao didn’t notice any of this at all—her attention was completely on Wei Puyu’s profile.

From Wei Puyu’s perspective, Jiang Chongming shone brilliantly in her eyes—like a prince on stage: tall, handsome, calm, and self-possessed.

She had seen him wake up before dawn to study, seen his tightly packed study schedules, seen the sweat on his forehead when he played basketball with classmates, and seen him stay up late poring over medical materials, trying to find the best treatment plan for patients…

He was always moving forward.

With clear goals and unwavering steps.

Trailing behind him, Wei Puyu was like a little tail—but she was willing.

Like a bird chasing the sun, like a blazing flame, flying higher and faster.

He chased his own sun, and she chased him. Together, they composed a melody of love.

It made people sigh—so this is how sweet mutual love can be!

【If it weren’t for Li Tingting…】

【Ahhh! Damn Li Tingting! If it weren’t for her, I would’ve gotten my happy ending!】

【Give me back my love story! Give me back my fairytale!】

The feeling was like watching a youth idol drama—just when the leads had finally reached a blissful married life and your heart was full of sweetness—only for the scriptwriter to suddenly go crazy, turning it into a “supernatural invasion” story and even replacing the female lead.

Ruan Yaoyao almost wanted to throw up from frustration.

Yu Xiangqiao and Yun Jinxian felt the same. From school uniforms to wedding dress—a spoiled rich young lady and her cold genius male lead—what a perfect couple! Why did they suddenly get torn apart?

They practically wanted to jump into the story, vent Wei Puyu’s anger for her, wipe out that scumbag woman, and write the ending themselves—

Be together! You must be together!

Wei Puyu shot another furious glare at Wei Kaihao: See that? See that? We were so good together—this is all your fault!

This was also the first time Wei Kaihao realized that everything his sister had said was true. Sure, she might have fawned over her brother-in-law a bit, but their love was mutual—they truly loved each other.

That only made him feel even more guilty.

What madness possessed him to bring someone like Li Tingting—whom he already knew was problematic—before his brother-in-law?

“Aren’t you the one who said you invited your brother-in-law? It’s been ages—why isn’t he here yet?”

Wei Kaihao checked the time. Nearly two hours had passed since the agreed time, and Jiang Chongming still hadn’t shown up.

“I’ll call him!”

Just as he dialed, Jiang Chongming called first.

“Is your sister with you?” Jiang Chongming asked.

“Yes. We’ve been waiting for you for almost two hours. We agreed to have dinner together—where are you now?”

“Tingting isn’t feeling well. I just made her a bowl of brown sugar water.”

“Are you serious? If her stomach hurts, she should see a doctor! What are you doing? We had plans!”

“I am a doctor.”

“You… you’re not a gynecologist!”

“I’m a general practitioner.”

Wei Kaihao grew angry. “So are you coming or not?”

“I am. Perfect timing—I’ve already printed the divorce agreement. We can sign it later.”

Wei Kaihao froze in shock. “What did you say? Divorce agreement? Hey—hey! Say something! Hello—!”

No matter how many times he called out, Jiang Chongming had already hung up.

Sitting beside him, Wei Puyu’s eyes instantly turned red.

She had just “relived” their love story with Ruan Yaoyao’s help—and the very next moment, she heard that Jiang Chongming had printed a divorce agreement. It felt like a bolt from the blue.

“Waaah… how could he do this to me?”

“Sis, sis, don’t cry… it’s not that far yet.”

“How is it not?! He’s already printed the divorce agreement!” Wei Puyu snapped, lifting her head like an enraged lioness. “What do you know? Jiang Chongming never fights an unprepared battle. Whatever he does, he prepares thoroughly. Once he makes a decision, he never regrets it. I’ve known him for so many years—I’ve never seen him regret anything…”

If the divorce papers were printed, then what else could it be but divorce?

Sure, she had shouted about divorcing him before and made a fuss—but that was just talk. She never actually took action.

Jiang Chongming was different—he had already gone as far as printing the agreement.

And once she said it out loud, she cried even harder.

Seeing her like this, Wei Kaihao felt terrible. He slapped himself twice. “I’m sorry, Sis. This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have brought Li Tingting to him. If I hadn’t, he wouldn’t have gone crazy…”

“That’s right—it’s all Wei Kaihao’s fault. Sis, if you’re upset, go ahead and punch him a few times!” Xu Chengyan said, more than happy to see someone else take the blame. “He brought this on himself—he deserves it.”

Yu Xiangqiao and Yun Jinxian, however, tried to comfort her.

“Don’t panic. He’s only printed the agreement—he hasn’t actually divorced you yet! Whether you divorce or not depends on whether you sign it.”

“Besides, we’re all here. We came today to solve this problem.”

“Didn’t your brother tell you about Chengyan’s situation? At first, I didn’t believe it either… If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe something so bizarre could exist. Maybe your husband is the same.”

“Yeah, my mom is here too. We were all there before. If the second brother could break free from that woman’s control, maybe we can do it again this time. Though your husband might suffer a bit.”

“Right. Once he sees us, maybe he’ll wake up.”

…

【That aloof flower?】

【Could the title of this novel really be based on the label above his head?】

【One is ‘that aloof flower,’ the other is Plucking That Aloof Flower… it really might be!】

【He is pretty handsome. No wonder Wei Kaihao’s sister has been so obsessed with him—chasing him for so many years.】

Ruan Yaoyao’s voice was like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly tearing through Jiang Chongming’s sky, making him freeze for a moment.

In the next second, he remembered why he had come—and was completely stunned.

—How is that possible?!
—How could I divorce Xiaoyu?!
—I love her more than anything—how could I divorce her?!
