Chapter 3086: It Was Him Who Delivered the Package

"You don't usually care about these things, so there's no need for that look."

"I'm just really annoyed. I want a divorce, but I can't get one. I really want to sever ties with him as soon as possible."

"Is it because of the house?"

"Yeah." Xu Wen said, "He wants half of the house, but it was bought by my parents for me, so I definitely can't give it to him, not even a piece of the wall."

"But it's considered marital property, so it might be difficult to handle."

Under normal circumstances, if it went to court, most of the property would be given to Xu Wen, but it would be impossible to give it all to her.

After all, they've been married for so many years, so dividing the assets would definitely be a hassle.

"What are your specific demands?"

"Just maintain the status quo. What's mine is mine, what's his is his, and then we can go through the divorce procedures so I don't have to be bothered by this every time I think about it."

"There's no need to be bothered. I'll help you figure something out."

"Can you really help with this kind of thing?"

"Even if you were building a house, I could get you an excavator. Divorce is a small matter compared to that."

"If you can really get this done, I'll have to reward you properly."

"But I already know all your styles and colors."

"Go away, I didn't mean that kind of reward." Xu Wen said, "But I don't really care anymore. I don't plan on getting married in the future, so I'll just keep dragging this out and see who can last longer."

"As long as you're not bothered, it's not a big deal."

Xu Wen nodded, "It's so late, you must be hungry. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

"There's a noodle shop behind us. Let's just have a quick meal there."

"Sure."

Xu Wen's mood came and went quickly. By the time the noodles were served, she was already in much better spirits.

It was clear that person no longer affected her; all that remained was disgust.

After the meal, the two of them drove home separately.

When Lin Yi got home, he saw Ji Qingyan putting the child to sleep, lying quietly in her arms, her chubby little face like a peeled egg, smooth and delicate.

Gently, he placed the child in the small bed, looking at her with loving eyes.

"When she was born, she wasn't even as long as my arm, and now I can hardly carry her."

"That's all thanks to your hard work."

Lin Yi, standing behind her, massaged Ji Qingyan's shoulders.

"Mom, you've worked hard. Once she starts kindergarten, things will be much easier."

"I used to think that too, feeling like she was driving me crazy, even wanting to put her back. But when I think about it, her carefree years might only last a few more years. Once she starts school and has friends, she won't be so clingy anymore."

Looking at the child in the bed, Ji Qingyan suddenly felt a bit melancholic.

"When she grows up, she'll have a boyfriend, then get married and have children. The time I can have with her will be even less."

"So you want time to slow down, to keep her carefree and completely yours for a while longer."

"Exactly. So now, I don't find her annoying anymore. She's so smart, she can recite two poems, though only half of each. I think that's pretty good, smarter than other kids."

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. This was a typical mother's bias.

"Alright, let's not talk about the child anymore. You've been on the road for a few days, go take a shower."

"After the shower, what then?"

"I don't know anything, don't ask me."

Ji Qingyan giggled and got into bed.

As for what would happen after the shower, it was self-explanatory.

The next morning, when Lin Yi woke up, Ji Qingyan was still sound asleep.

Clearly, she had expended a lot of energy the night before.

After getting up and washing up, Lin Jiang drove to the delivery station.

But when he arrived, he found only Sun Qiang, and Li Xin was nowhere to be seen.

"Brother Qiang, why are you here alone?"

Lin Yi asked while changing into his work uniform.

"He went to Heping Road. It'll just be the two of us for a few days."

"I see."

Lin Yi wasn't surprised; it was probably Xu Wen's deliberate arrangement.

After all, Li Xin always had it in for him, and moving him might be to prevent Lin Yi from dealing with him.

She was quite considerate.

With one person less, Lin Yi didn't chat with Sun Qiang and started sorting the packages. Then the two of them set out.

As usual, when Lin Yi appeared in the neighborhood, he still attracted a lot of women's attention.

For such a long time, every day someone tried to get Lin Yi's contact information.

But everyone failed, and still, people kept trying.

While delivering the packages, Lin Yi thought to himself.

By the time, it would be a week tomorrow, and the previous task could be completed.

So the completion rate of this job would reach 60%.

There might be two more tasks before he could leave this job.

"Hmm?"

While Lin Yi was thinking about these things, he suddenly muttered.

Because the door to apartment 1201 was slightly ajar.

This wasn't unexpected; the owner might have forgotten to close it properly, which had happened several times before.

However, this time, the door was more open than before, when it was just slightly ajar.

Knock, knock, knock—

"Delivery!"

Lin Yi knocked on the door and deliberately spoke louder to try to get the attention of anyone inside.

But after calling out once, he found no one responded.

"Delivery!"

Lin Yi called out again, and when no one responded, he didn't bother anymore, threw the package inside, and left.

After leaving, Lin Yi continued delivering his packages, everything went smoothly, and by a little after noon, he had finished all the deliveries.

Back at the station, Lin Yi ordered two takeout meals, one for Sun Qiang as well.

"Not bad, you're back before me."

Seeing Lin Yi in the store, Sun Qiang laughed.

"You're getting old, you can't keep up with us young ones, ha ha..." Lin Yi laughed in response, "Hurry up and eat, it'll get cold."

"You don't have to buy me food. You work hard for your money, and you don't even want payment."

"Don't be so formal, it's not much."

"Wait, I'll go get two drinks."

Soon, Sun Qiang returned with two two-liter bottles, quite a good deal.

While the two of them were eating, two people appeared at the door.

One was a police officer in uniform, and the other was a man in his forties, dressed casually, whose identity was unclear.

Lin Yi and Sun Qiang exchanged glances, not knowing why these people were there.

"Officer, it's him! He delivered our package!"
