The King’s Enchanting

Chapter 1750 - 1764: Marriage (3)

As soon as Yu Zexiao and the others stepped outside, they saw a crowd gathered—no, not the usual onlookers, but—journalists!

Indeed, it was a horde of journalists, carrying microphones and cameras, swarming in. As security had come to this small room to look at him, the lobby was left unmanaged, allowing journalists to quickly take their positions.

Yu Zexiao frowned. Since he planned to boldly register for a marriage certificate with Jian Anning, without going to places like Las Vegas to get married, he wasn’t worried about news of their marriage spreading. The problem was, not being worried didn’t mean he was ready to face the media so soon!

However, maybe because the small room here was too crowded, the journalists didn’t notice him at all but instead—all aimed their cameras at the entrance.

Before he could react, a pair of people appeared at the entrance.

The man was large and rotund, dressed in finely tailored clothing, looking about fifty or sixty, like a successful man. As for the woman, although she looked haggard, she was dressed lavishly—ah, an acquaintance, wasn’t this Jiang Xuanqi?

He still remembered that Jiang Xuanqi had a lavish wedding a few years ago, marrying a wealthy older man and withdrawing from the entertainment industry. What, it’s only been a few years?

She was already married, so it couldn’t be for marriage again; she must be here for a divorce. It’s been said that Jiang Xuanqi’s in-laws weren’t very satisfied with her, and they’d been quarreling constantly. Not long ago, there were even rumors she wanted to return to the entertainment industry. Who knew, she really is getting divorced!

Sure enough, the journalists were all rushing towards her. She and her husband didn’t say much, and surrounded by a group of journalists, they reached the counter and presented the paperwork. Originally, their divorce could have been settled privately, but Jiang Xuanqi had long planned to use this for publicity to return to the entertainment circle. Today’s divorce interview was specially arranged by her.

Her husband was clearly not happy, especially when the reporters stuck microphones in his face. But being a wealthy person, he wasn’t going to be so easily bullied. He had bodyguards, who quickly cleared the journalists away.

Unable to interview him, the journalists turned their cameras on Jiang Xuanqi. Amidst the clamorous crowd, Jiang Xuanqi showed no anger; instead, with the cameras on her, she slightly lowered her head, a tear sliding down her cheek, appearing full of emotion, yet helpless.

In any case, it evoked many sighs from the scene’s onlookers.

Being pretty, what’s the use? Being famous, so what? Even marrying into wealth, one could still find themselves kicked right out. Not everyone has the good fortune like Jian Anning.

Standing off to the side observing coolly, Yu Zexiao remarked quietly, "Who said she has no acting skills? Isn’t this impressive?"

His voice wasn’t loud, and surrounded by people, the outside journalists didn’t hear it. Only Jian Anning heard, who gave a slight smile and tightened her grip on his hand.

Over there, Jiang Xuanqi’s husband—no, he should be called the ex-husband now—really didn’t like the situation. He had his assistant clear the way, went to the counter, signed the papers without saying a word, and directly turned and left. Jiang Xuanqi couldn’t say anything harsh and simply muttered softly, "We were destined to meet but not fated to be together."

After that, she didn’t want to say more, and with the help of friends and family, left the lobby.

The journalists had no idea Yu Zexiao was also there and completely surrounded Jiang Xuanqi as she left.
