GHML – Chapter 32.2: He Jiang, Do You Have A Bottom Line? (2)
Yang Yue: “What are your plans from here on? Quit the variety show, work out the accounts and go your separate ways?”
He Jiang did not say anything.
“I can’t fathom why he would want a divorce.”
After spending all this time together, didn’t he develop even a tiny little bit of feelings for me? The idea of getting a divorce should have existed since he lost his memories and had stubbornly stayed put till today, never revealed and never swayed.
In comparison, he had been facing several mindset shifts in this period. As compared to Shang Jing, he was nothing in the determination category. After all, the ones with feelings were always the disadvantaged one.
Yang Yue: “What’s there to think about? What is the basis of a divorce? It’s to be married.”
“Both of you aren’t even married so you can’t get a divorce. So what’s there to worry about?”
He Jiang: “…” Was that a consolation? It’s not doing anything.
Cen Feinuo poured the three of them a cup of alcohol each and slowly analyzed the matter, “In the eyes of Shang Jing who has lost his memories, the marriage between the both of you is loveless so I’m not surprised he wants a divorce. Plus, your relationship is already at its highest peak. The moment the idea of divorce appears in any of your heads, without any intervention, your relationship will naturally go down that path.”
“But if you could approach him as a friend and start your relationship on a blank slate, with just a spark, you could go from nothing to something. The feelings he has then could also be the crux to make him reconsider the matter and reciprocate your feelings.”
“You’ve taken up the position of his husband. There naturally has to be some cons to it, how can you benefit endlessly?”
The variety show had hired a professional to provide each guest with some comments on their performance in the show and most of them were praised. Since everyone was busy with their own work schedules, none of them had taken the time out to listen to the comments, only paying attention to the comments of fans online.
Cen Feinuo was the only one who listened to the professional’s comments, and it has come in handy now.
He Jiang was stunned. “Are you saying I should divorce Shang Jing then chase after him again? How am I supposed to do that? Get someone to pretend to be the Civil Affairs Bureau?”
Cen Feinuo: “Lighten up on your drinking.”
Such a simple matter. With a slightly clearer mind, he would not need him to teach him what to do.
And it was true He Jiang had a little too much to drink. His mind was jumbled up into a dead knot, constantly replaying the thought of Shang Jing wanting to get a divorce with him like a broken record. He asked, “Is there another way?”
Cen Feinuo: “It’s simple. Provide him with the divorce papers then find an opportunity to tell him a divorce during the variety show during the after sales period was against the contract terms and that the both of you will have to compensate the production team for their loss in endorsement fees. This will help to drag the period of divorce back. But having both signed on the papers, wouldn’t Shang Jing believe the divorce was already in action?”

Yang Yue looked at Cen Feinuo and felt like he had underestimated this friend of his. He was still worried that he could not handle Zhuang Qin. But after hearing his solution to He Jiang, Zhuang Qin has obviously boarded a pirate ship.
Yang Yue asked out of curiosity, “Did you trap Zhuang Qin like this too?”
Cen Feinuo answered helplessly, “No.”
He merely told Zhuang Qin he was working hard to ‘lose his memories’, and if he still felt bad about it, he would create a side account to publicize his interest in his daily life then expose himself on the internet a month later.
“Would you feel better this way?” Cen Feinuo showed Zhuang Qin his phone screen. He was obviously logged into a side account on Weibo and the very first Weibo post read: I’m in love with my new colleague, Xiao Zhuang.
And how could Zhuang Qin withstand such tactics of Cen Feinuo. With a reddened face, he stammered, “I-I’ve forgotten about the matter too. Hurry and delete that side account. It’s not safe. What if you misplace your phone?”
And came the scene whether he diligently watched and made sure he deleted the account.
It was then did Cen Feinuo know the matter was already half-settled.
…
He Jiang frowned. Like what Yang Yue said, this was equivalent to lying to Shang Jing another time.
He did not want to lie to Shang Jing nor ‘divorce’ him. Even though the marriage was fake, he had cherished it like his own life.
He Jiang knew he was not capable of sending Shang Jing a divorce proposal with such seriousness, especially since everything that was happening was real in Shang Jing’s eyes. If they really were to get a ‘divorce’, it would mean the end of their relationship and separation forever.
What if Shang Jing disappears or finds someone new after the ‘divorce’? It would be too late for regrets then.
I’ll never get a divorce unless Shang Jing really mentions it to me.

“In that case, are you going to treat it as though nothing happened?” Yang Yue gave He Jiang a thumbs up. “You have such a high tolerance level. It’s such a pity you don’t dabble in stocks, the fluctuations would surely not cause any stirrings in your heart.”
He Jiang: “…”
Yang Yue was not capable of providing relationship advice like Cen Feinuo but analyzing the situation from the viewpoint of investment was still within his limits. “You thought you’ve bought a stock with high potential for growth but it starts to fall right from the next day onwards. Think about the limits of Shang Jing being difficult. The more difficult he is, the more adoration you have towards him. That’s the point where you increase your investment sum. When he finally bottoms out, congratulations, you’ve trapped yourself.”
He Jiang countered, “Stop analyzing it. Chasing the highs and cutting out the falls, you are basically a money tree to them.”
Yang Yue: “Don’t try to pin it on me. Just look at how shabby your birthday celebration was, 88 yuan and you’re satisfied.”
