Chapter 1673: Had Once Been so Beautiful

The game of catching him in the act with other women grew more and more intense. In the end, Li Xinze was the one to withdraw from the game. After all, he was the main character, so it wasnt very pleasant.

Li Xinze went home less and less, and their marriage existed only in name. In front of the media, Chen Jianan still had to find excuses on Li Xinzes behalf and make the outside world believe that their relations.h.i.+p was very good.

Chen Jianan swallowed all her bitterness and cried night after night, like a resentful woman.

Chen Jianan looked at herself in the mirror. She had once been so beautiful, but now there was only despondency and resentment on her face.

The corners of her mouth were too heavy to lift up.

Was she going to continue wasting her life like this? In a marriage of mutual resentment? Fighting with an endless number of women?

It was too tiring!

After struggling over it for several nights, Chen Jianan collected herself and pushed the divorce papers in front of Li Xinze with a faint smile.

Li Xinze signed after a glance. Seeing that the other party had signed just like that, Chen Jianans heart pulsed with pain.

Li Xinze asked Chen Jianan, What do you want? I can compensate you.

Chen Jianan shook her head and said no need.

Chen Jianan left with her suitcase and bought a plane ticket out of the country that very day.

Abroad, Chen Jianan lived in a tiny room. She woke up at dawn every day and after eating a sandwich, headed out to find roles on Hollywood sets.

Whenever a film needed a Chinese face, no matter how big or small the role was, Chen Jianan took it.

The wires on set left Chen Jianan with marks all over her body, but it was only through working hard that she could stop herself from feeling sorry for herself over this failed marriage.

Gradually, Chen Jianan received more and more roles. The various hards.h.i.+ps she had gone through only made her s.h.i.+ne brighter.

As she flicked her hair in front of the camera, she was indescribably beautiful. Even when her face was dusty and she was fighting with a gun, she was still so beautiful.

It was a beauty that shook viewers to the core, it was beyond the beauty of her face.

Once time actually pa.s.sed, that hurt was really nothing. People grew enough to forget the hurt of the past and live for themselves.

There was no longer any need to guess where her husband went today. She was no longer affected by rumors of the gossip magazines.

Chen Jianan wore a gown that outlined her fabulous figure to the Oscars and encountered Li Xinze on the red carpet with an actress holding onto his arm.

Their gazes met, but Chen Jianan didnt flinch or dodge.

How are you?

Im fine.

Chen Jianan was calm. Her life had become even more brilliant without Li Xinze.

On the awards stage, Chen Jianan accepted the trophy and smiled brightly.

Li Xinze looked at Chen Jianan. The current Chen Jianan was beautiful to the point that it caused his heart to tremble. She was captivatingly beautiful.

Li Xinze settled down abroad and moved in next door to Chen Jianan. He did everything possible to strike up a conversation with Chen Jianan, including jogging in front of Chen Jianans house at dawn in hopes of b.u.mping into her.

Chen Jianan just watched indifferently as Li Xinze fawned upon her.

To obtain a mans heart, the most inferior way was to be docile and obedient.

The alright approach was to be vague and ambiguous.

The best way was to be out of reach.

Men were simply this lowly. As of now, if Li Xinze was made to drink Chen Jianans foot was.h.i.+ng water, Li Xinze would probably drink it gladly.

In this life, Chen Jianan would never marry Li Xinze again. People who didnt know to respect and fear losing what they have, would never cherish what they have.
