The Devil Who Devoured Snow White Chapter 8

"Not right now. I will submit that a year after our marriage."
A year...?
"But I want you to sign this right now," he continued. "If you're worried about what you will receive, you don't have to. Two million. You'll receive two million alimony as long as you promise not to show yourself in front of me after our divorce."
How could he? Why can't she have this man? Why was he so against it? They looked so perfect with each other and she was sure that things would work out just fine for them if they tried to work things out. She was willing to discuss terms with him but… By signing the document, it only meant that he was never going to give their relationship a chance. He was never going to try to love her. He was never going to try anything.
She looked at the file once again and ended up staring at his signature. Even his signature was beautiful, each stroke was neatly written.
'Sign it.'
She didn't want to…
Once again, her subconsciousness opposed her heart. A part of her was willing to sign the papers. A part of her was glad that he offered something like this.
She sat on the side of the bed and took the pen that was on top of the drawer. "Do you have someone else you love?" She asked, wanting to get straight to the point.
That was only the reason she could think of. There was no other plausible excuse. Yes, this should only be the reason why he was so against their marriage in the first place.
"I do," he answered straightforwardly. He stood up and walked away from her. He clearly didn't want to stand close to her or even give her another glance.

There was no hesitation in his voice... There really must be someone and he really must love her. He was treating her like she was a disgusting person and it only made her feel awful. She didn't want to be with a guy who would treat her badly like this.
"What is her name?" She asked as she uncapped the pen.
This time, she was able to make him look at her again. He raised a brow. "Why should I tell you?"
"I, at least, deserves to know the name of the woman who has your heart, don't you think so?" She raised her head. The look in her eyes changed just like how it did when she retorted at his brother. The woman who looked like an anxious rabbit earlier was now looking at him with strange calmness in her eyes.
For some reason, Bai Jingye couldn't help but feel that something dangerous was sleeping inside her. The way she talked to his brother was a hint. This woman... just who was she? What was her real temperament?
"Tian Ruyi. Her name is Tian Ruyi."
It was just a mention of the other woman's name but Mengmeng could see how his eyes softened upon saying the woman's name.
Ah, how unfair. So he can manage to even give that kind of look, huh?
She felt a small pang in her chest when she realized that she never stood a chance. Maybe it was better to end their relationship early while her feelings weren't strong enough for him. Maybe it was better to start putting distance. There was no use in trying to get something she can't have. It would only put her in an early demise.
"Three months. You can submit this after 3 months instead," she said crisply, if gloomily. She tore her gaze at him. Her hand trembled a bit as she hesitated on signing the papers.

"Very well. The earlier, the better," the man replied, somehow relieved that she offered a shorter term.
She bit her lower lip as she tried her best not to cry about something like this but she couldn't help but feel lost at that moment. Even after two weeks had already passed, her memories were not coming back. Didn't the doctor say that it was just temporary? So why was it taking so long?
After signing, Mengmeng stood up and placed the papers on the coffee table.
"Bai Jingye… I was never your childhood friend am I?" She suddenly asked, her head hanging low. "Grandpa never adopted me, right?"
Bai Keran probably lied to her since she saved his life. It was easy to piece things together especially after how she saw how everyone treated her as a stranger.
"I guess you're not stupid after all," he replied coldly but with a hint of amusement in his voice.
