Thirtieth day: To divorce or not to divorce? (1)

Of course, Liang Yan had forgotten it. Completely.

Lu Lincheng stared  at the confused Liang Yan with a look on her face that expected him to explain it. He swallowed, his Adam's apple moving.

Lu Lincheng took a deep breath, and in his eyes, what happened appeared all over again. Since he was a child, countless girls had chased him, and after his debut, he hooked the hearts of thousands and thousands of women. But the first one he had met with was the fresh and unconventional Liang Yan. After sleeping with her, he was forced to take responsibility.

Of course, he had never slept with another woman before.

“Just forget it,” Lu Lincheng didn’t say anything after all, then he looked away.

Liang Yan looked forward to it, but it turned out to be a wasted expectation. Glancing at the wall clock, she finally realized that it had been almost three hours since Lu Lincheng took her away.

Liang Yan stood up from the sofa, took out her phone, and realized that she touched  the mute button at the side of her phone again.  There were several missed calls.

“Damn it.” There were several calls from the director.

“Holy shit!” Liang Yan fumbled to call back the director.

Lu Lincheng gazed at Liang Yan with a death-like expression and said  lightly, “There’s no need to explain.”

“Huh?”Liang Yan didn’t get him, and before she could, the call was connected.

Liang Yan: “I’m so sorry… so sorry, director… this is Liang Yan… this afternoon…”

Instead of the director losing his temper as Liang Yan expected, he was quite calm. “Liang Yan, it’s not a problem. Zhou Yang has explained to us, just remember to come back tomorrow, and you’re busy with personal matters.”

Liang Yan was forgiven easily, she was shocked, so she asked again, “What about Luo Luo…”

Director: “Xie Yuan will help you take care of Luo Luo just for tonight.”

Liang Yan: "...... oh."

Director: “Have a good chat with Lu Lincheng.”

After the program team found out they were missing, Lu Lincheng’s agent, Zhou Yang, called to inform them that Lu Lincheng and Liang Yan had to attend to an urgent matter.

He apologized for Lu Lincheng's sudden departure and asked for a night off from the show for Liang Yan.

“Whose Baby?” became a hit. With its small budget and webcast, everyone was surprised to see Lu Lincheng participate. Today’s amusement park episode had  ended, and Lu Lincheng had already left. Zhou Yang earnestly said that they could work again in the future.

The director wasn’t a rigid person. In the past, some celebrities came late, especially those big names, and he had also seen unreasonable and arrogant agents. Today, Lu Lincheng followed the director’s instructions to shoot with his ex-wife and a few small-time actors.

Today's episode garnered a lot of heat, way more than he could wish for. When he saw Zhou Yang calling him, he answered immediately and agreed as fast.

Liang Yan hung up the call, and then, she saw Jiang Mu’s text message.

A screenshot of the Weibo search list was: “Lu Lincheng and Liang Yan eloped.”

Liang Yan vaguely guessed that they would be on hot search, but she didn’t expect that it would be this one. She had goosebumps because of the fright. She had never expected that the word elope, which basically meant love that went through fire and water to be together, would be used on them someday.

That night, Lu Lincheng’s studio, Liang Yan’s Weibo account, and the official Weibo of “Whose Baby?” issued an official statement directly: Mr. Lu Lincheng and Ms. Liang Yan asked for a leave to resolve personal issues after their divorce. As the two seldom meet and communicate, they took the time to record the episode, then solved the problem together. When the two of them left, the show had finished recording for the day, and there was no “elopement” that happened. The show also expressed their understanding.

Fans were relieved when they read “the two seldom meet and communicate.”

The next morning, Liang Yan returned to the villa to continue recording “Whose Baby?”

Luo Luo was upset that they left her alone yesterday, so she kept pouting and ignoring Liang Yan after the latter came back. This ended only when Liang Yan showed Luo Luo the little video Lu Lincheng recorded for Luo Luo, and only then did the child reluctantly forgive them.

The amusement park episode was the highlight of the show. Liang Yan spent two more days at the villa with the children before the show's scheduled end but only the live broadcast. The weekly version would continue to air. The recent episode was when the trainee parents took the kids to the zoo and they bathed the elephants.

For the past 20 days, “Whose Baby?” had risen up from the ranks of an obscure variety show into a trending one, especially when Lu Lincheng joined them. The guests and cute kids garnered more fans beyond their expectations.

When it was time to leave as the show had ended, the children were inseparable from their trainee parents, especially Luo Luo who refused to let go of Liang Yan.

Liang Yan also couldn’t bear to let go of Luo Luo. They promised that if she did well in the kindergarten, and earned a little red flower, Liang Yan would take her out to play.

Liang Yan dragged her suitcase out of the villa with disappointment, then she returned to her apartment.

Jiang Mu handed her a document bag which stored all the documents she needed to get their divorce certificate.

She made the appointment with Lu Lincheng. After the show, they would go and finalize their divorce.

Then, Liang Yan went to find Lu Lincheng with her document bag, including her birth certificate.

----

Lu Lincheng tossed and turned on the bed, he wasn’t able to sleep properly last night.

Liang Yan’s medical certificate with the amnesia diagnosis, the signed divorce agreement, and her appearance when she asked when they would get their divorce certificate played repeatedly in his mind like a movie.

Lu Lincheng rolled out of bed, and took out the divorce agreement from the locked drawer.

He checked the time on his watch, it was 5 am, four hours before their 9 am appointment with Liang Yan.

His heart began to panic.

He thought that if he took out the divorce agreement, Liang Yan would reflect with herself after having a CP with two male actors and disregarding his, the legal husband’s, feelings.

As a result, she immediately signed it, and even took the initiative of posting it on Weibo after signing it.
