The Whole World Wants Me To Get Divorced chapter 3

Moving

Although Wen Yan actively expressed his intention to move in tomorrow, the result of Qiao Shan and the butler’s discussion was that it would be more appropriate to move in three days later. They needed time to tidy up and organize.

Then Qiao Shan and Wen Luojiang politely bid farewell.

After sincerely thanking Mr. Rong for his assistance once again, they dragged their troublesome son away.

Wen Yan didn’t resist either. Once the cooked duck was about to fly, and since he was moving in, why worry about not having time to get along with Rong Xiao?

He followed his parents back to the car. Across the courtyard lawn, when he turned his head, he noticed Rong Xiao looking at him from behind the window. The setting sun’s residual light made Rong Xiao’s face somewhat indistinct, but it was still breathtakingly beautiful.

He immediately made a heart shape towards Rong Xiao and playfully teased.

However, just a second after making the gesture, he was kicked into the car by his own father.

Rong Xiao, behind the window, frowned in confusion. Holding his index finger and thumb together, he asked the butler, “What does this mean?”

The butler, dutifully, clarified for his master, “He’s saying ‘I love you.'”

Rong Xiao: “………………”

People these days are really carefree.

When the car finally left the entrance of the residential area, Qiao Shan and Wen Luojiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Their nerves had been tense all afternoon, not only out of concern for their son but also because the entire area was permeated with the aura of supernatural beings, which was too much for two ordinary people to bear.

Wen Yan, on the other hand, was unaffected and cheerfully tapping away.

Qiao Shan glanced at her son through the rearview mirror, finding Wen Yan still foolishly happy, and his smile hadn’t faded.

Suddenly feeling distressed.

Just a moment ago, when Wen Yan cried and refused, she was worried. Now that Wen Yan was willing, she was even more worried.

Who, after seeing someone for the first time, immediately proposes?

Qiao Shan tapped on the window to get her son’s attention and brought up an old matter, “Wen Xiao Yan, don’t you need to explain who was just loudly proclaiming that arranged marriage is not fulfilling? And who, after meeting someone for the first time, proposed on the spot?”

Wen Luojiang also chuckled.

Their son’s life was spared, allowing him to relax again and join in the mockery.

Wen Yan felt that his parents were really unfriendly. Just a while ago, they treated him like a treasure, willing to sacrifice everything for him. How come they suddenly turned against him and started mocking him together?

“I couldn’t have known Cupid’s arrows were flying everywhere, and today it just happened to land on me,” Wen Yan put down his phone and reasoned with his parents, “You’ve seen Rong Xiao’s appearance. Touch your conscience and say, which infatuated young man wouldn’t have weak legs when they see him? If I had known you were introducing me to someone with such high looks, you wouldn’t need to tie me up; I would have run over myself.”

Qiao Shan was rendered speechless by the question.

She glanced at Wen Yan again, sighing softly in her heart.

She couldn’t help but glare at Wen Luojiang.

Wen Luojiang gently patted her hand. As a parent, he understood Qiao Shan’s worries.

But they were powerless. This was Wen Yan’s destiny.

The three of them returned home together, sitting down for dinner like any ordinary evening. For dessert, there was plum jelly, served in white porcelain bowls, transparent and beautiful.

Wen Yan hadn’t done anything during his time at home these days. His official start at university was next Monday, and he had nothing to do at home these days, so he decided to catch up on some basic knowledge about the supernatural world.

Nowadays, the supernatural beings were not like before. They not only perfectly integrated into human society but also established secretive websites and forums exclusive to supernatural beings.

While enjoying his ice cream, Wen Yan read posts on the supernatural beings’ emotional forum, finding them amusing.

There were tales of a thousand-year-old turtle spirit in a fancy suit scamming the lotus spirit into marriage, or a weasel spirit deceiving the rooster spirit into buying retirement insurance. Then there was a post protesting the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs working overtime without overtime pay, with an official response below—your reward is the elixir you consume.

Wen Yan found great joy in reading the gossip forum. After finishing the popular posts, he casually checked the official website. On the side of the webpage, there were only two words—Rong Xiao. It hung there with no need for explanation, capturing everyone’s attention.

Subconsciously, he clicked on that entry, and immediately saw an introduction that seemed to have no end.

Densely packed, with no photos, just text.

Wen Yan quickly scanned through this information, confirming that Rong Xiao was indeed the prospective spouse he had met before. From this long and illustrious resume, he extracted two core points.

• Rong Xiao was the first founder of the Demon Management Bureau, who, five hundred years ago, established order in turbulent times, maintaining communication with the human realm.
• Three thousand years ago, he had joined hands with a human cultivator and a ghost king to quell the chaos of the world, saving the endangered world at that time.

So, although he had now taken a back seat, he was still the most reliable backing in the hearts of the demon world residents, voted the most popular male demon every year.

…No wonder the Demon Management Bureau was so anxious to heal him.

Holding the ice cream spoon in his mouth, Wen Yan thought for a moment, then jumped back to the demon forum he had just visited and entered Rong Xiao’s name into the search bar.

Sure enough, a bunch of posts popped up.

“Seeking advice, how can I marry Mr. Rong Xiao? Willing to pay a high price!”

“Mr. Rong Xiao’s same-style windbreaker is on sale, limited to two hundred pieces! First come, first served!”

“I dreamt of Mr. Rong Xiao yesterday, and he proposed to me. Does this mean we have a destined entanglement…”

…

“This isn’t a reliable backing; it’s clearly the demon world’s top influencer.” Wen Yan curled his lips, closed the computer, and said, “They all seem to have quite imaginative thoughts.”

Three days passed quickly.

On the afternoon of September 4th, Wen Yan moved into Green Mountain Community with his seven suitcases. Now, he realized that this community, entirely occupied by demons, couldn’t be found on the map. Ordinary people would get lost as soon as they entered the alley.

But unlike last time, when he entered by car this time, he felt not the silent stillness but heard many different voices in the rustling of the leaves—whispers.

“Is he the designated human ‘bride’ from the Demon Management Bureau?”

“He looks so young. His face is pretty good, but it’s a pity he belongs to the master, or I would have made a move.”

“Dead fox spirit, always wanting to make a move when you see someone good-looking. Aren’t you afraid of capsizing?”

“Humph, none of your business.”

“The scent of this human seems to be quite appetizing. I’m getting a bit hungry.”

…

Wen Yan couldn’t help poking his parents’ shoulders and asked, “Did you hear anything?”

Qiao Shan and Wen Luojiang hadn’t heard anything.

He didn’t ask again and probably had an idea in his mind. It seemed that the demon residents of this community, although he couldn’t see them, were secretly watching him.

After another five minutes, they arrived at Rong Xiao’s residence, and the butler was waiting for them in the same place as last time, still wearing a neat black suit even in the scorching summer.

Seeing Wen Yan’s seven suitcases, the butler’s expression remained unchanged. He respectfully bowed and said to Wen Yan, “Welcome, Young Master, to your new residence.”

After saying this, a narrow bridge rose from the lake, bringing up splashes of water, connecting the courtyard on the island with the shore.

At the end of the bridge stood a figure in white, Rong Xiao.

Wen Yan took a deep breath, feeling a subtle nervousness for some reason.

His suitcases were floating in the air with the help of the butler’s magic, so now he had his hands free.

He rushed over to hug his parents. “I’m leaving. I should be back on weekends. Remember to ask Sister Zhou to make me delicious food.”

Qiao Shan was originally touched, but she was amused by this statement. She patted her son’s shoulder. “Remember to come home often when you’re in college.”

Wen Yan made a gesture indicating no problem, then followed the butler across the bridge.

Behind them, the boards of the bridge they had walked over evaporated like mist.

And a moment later, Qiao Shan and Wen Luojiang found that the entire neighborhood around them had disappeared like a mirage, and they were standing on the roadside again, behind them was the car they had driven, and various noisy and crowded sounds suddenly overwhelmed them.

They were back in the human world.

While Wen Yan had already stepped into the demon world.

In between, there was just a bridge’s distance.
