Divorce is a small matter

“I think the main problem is the insurmountable gap in education level.” Qi Xiaoyan looked at the staff member handling the divorce in front of her, her tone as serious as if she were discussing an academic issue: “She teaches elementary school, and I teach university.”

Yang Wei's eyes twitched, and she chuckled at him, "We're all teachers who educate and nurture people. Does being a university student mean you have to be aloof and arrogant? Don't you university students ever attend primary school?"

Qi Xiaoyan said without changing his expression, "To add one more point, I am a professor, the highest level among teachers."

"Yes, you, a math professor, are actually a fan of Song Jin!"

"Then what was your mindset in putting Mo Zhen's poster next to your wedding photos?"

"At least he doesn't talk to me about Goldbach every day!" Yang Wei suddenly turned to look at the staff member, her eyes burning with rage. "Can you believe it? The topic he talks to me about most every day is Goldbach! Do you even know who Goldbach is?!"

"Uh..." The staff member pursed his dry lips and tried to force a smile. "I guess he's a mathematician."

"No! It's the plague!" Yang Wei's tone of deep hatred made the staff worry for a moment about this new plague that they had never heard of before.

Qi Xiaoyan said with a regretful expression, "As you can see, she doesn't understand the charm of mathematics at all."

Yang Wei gritted her teeth: "As you can see, he doesn't understand my charm at all!"

Staff: "..."

He just wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Qi Xiaoyan suddenly stared intently at him, mimicking Yang Wei's tone, and asked, "Can you believe it? She actually watches Japanese dramas! Doesn't she know how many historical issues exist between China and Japan?!"

"Then when you were masturbating to Aoi Sora, did you not consider the feelings of those with historical issues?" Yang Wei retorted fiercely.

Qi Xiaoyan regained her composure and said calmly, "Believe me, there are many things you can learn from Ms. Cang."

Yang Wei's eyebrows shot up: "Are you saying my technique is bad?"

Qi Xiaoyan chuckled: "Technique? Don't flatter yourself, okay? Every time I use even a little force, all you do is scream."

Staff: "..."

As the topic veered further into unspeakable territory, the staff member used their own body to prevent the situation from escalating: "Teachers, I am not yet 18 years old."

Yang Wei: "..."

Qi Xiaoyan: "..."

Twenty minutes later, after the young couple who had been arguing non-stop since they came in left, the office area finally returned to quiet.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity." A female colleague sighed regretfully, "A perfect couple, a golden pair, and now they're saying goodbye."

An older colleague flicked water droplets from his finger onto the cactus, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom: "I bet a spicy snack that these two aren't done yet."

The staff member in charge of processing their paperwork silently sat back down, opened a webpage, and typed "Goldbach" into the search bar.

The webpage redirects.

Goldbach, a German mathematician, proposed the famous Goldbach Conjecture...

His anxiety finally subsided.

Yang Wei and Qi Xiaoyan walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, each holding a purple-red divorce certificate. As Yang Wei stuffed the divorce certificate into her bag, Qi Xiaoyan said beside her, "I'll be staying at the school for now. I'll move my things out while you're not home."

Yang Wei wrinkled her nose but didn't say anything. Before she turned around, she heard Qi Xiaoyan call her from behind.

"Is there anything else?"

Qi smiled and said, "Actually, I prefer Euler to Goldbach."

"...Goodbye!" Yang Wei walked away without looking back.

Qi Xiaoyan watched her figure disappear completely around the corner before walking towards the parking lot.

It was early spring, and pale pink peach blossoms were blooming on the roadside trees. Yang Wei looked up at the golden sunlight filtering through the branches and squinted slightly.

A black Audi sped past her, the cool air seeming to instantly penetrate her clothes. Yang Wei wrapped her beige trench coat tighter and made a face at the car's rear.

Qi Xiaoyan saw Yang Wei sticking out her tongue in the rearview mirror and subtly curled her lips into a smile.

Yang Wei walked to the intersection, took out her phone to check the time: 3:35. She hailed a taxi and went directly to Star Plaza.

Soft music played in the coffee shop. Yang Wei followed a waiter wearing a checkered apron to a round table by the window.

"Attorney Sheng, have you finished handling the overseas cases?" Yang Wei ordered a coffee and sat down opposite Sheng Lei.

Sheng Lei, Yang Wei's junior high school classmate and best friend, is a lawyer at Tianfang Law Firm specializing in divorce litigation.

She glanced at Yang Wei, tossed her short, black hair, and said, "I heard you were getting a divorce, so I rushed back to be your defense lawyer."

Yang Wei pursed her lips but didn't reply. Sheng Lei scrutinized her for a moment, then blinked and said, "I'm sure I just saw that navy blue wool dress you're wearing in last month's TOMATO magazine. Are elementary school teachers' salaries this high now?"

Yang Wei pouted again: "Qi Xiaoyan bought it."

Sheng Lei smiled and nodded: "To be honest, someone like your Qi Xiaoyan, who is high in intelligence, high in income, and high in looks, would make a lot of women ecstatic if you divorced him." She paused, then changed the subject, "But you're not bad either. Since you came in, that college student-looking guy at the door has peeked at you nine times, that man in a suit upstairs has peeked at you eleven times, and that waiter who led you in has passed by our table seven times."

Yang Wei: "..."

"But they don't know you're remarried."

Yang Wei: "..."

"Are you really going to divorce Qi Xiaoyan?" Sheng Lei looked at Yang Wei with a regretful expression. "You've been with him for a year, and you've gone from a kid who hasn't even given up her first love to a divorced person."

Yang Wei: "..."

She should have broken off all ties with Sheng Lei the day she passed the bar exam.

She silently took the divorce certifi
