Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Even though he didn’t know the purpose of the Huang Family’s visit, Xu Wendong followed Lin Feng out of the council hall and up to the gate of the Lin Mansion.

In an instant.

A graceful silhouette captured Xu Wendong’s sight.

Her posture was elegant, akin to a willow branch swaying lightly in the spring breeze, exuding a sense of agility and grace.

Her long, glossy black hair cascaded like a waterfall down her back, while a few wisps playfully fell beside her snow-white cheeks, enhancing the fairness of her skin.

Her eyes were like a clear autumn pool, bright and pure, yet harboring unfathomable depths.

She wore a moon-white gauze dress with skirt hems embroidered with delicate pale blue begonia patterns, which appeared and disappeared with her every movement, resembling begonias dancing in the wind.

A silk ribbon of matching color lightly encircled her waist, perfectly outlining her slender figure, with a warm Sheep Jade Pendant hanging at its end, adding a touch of elegance.

This familiar face instantly stirred the host’s memories and caused a faint pain to rise in Xu Wendong’s heart.

This person was none other than Huang Ying, the Huang Family’s young lady with whom he had a marriage contract.

However, at this moment, the affection and fondness once present in Huang Ying’s eyes were absent.

Replacing them was a cold indifference that was unapproachable.

That gaze was like a layer of icy frost, completely severing the former ties between the two.

As Xu Wendong emerged, a burly middle-aged man beside Huang Ying stepped forward.

He wore a dark brocade robe, with intricate gold thread patterns embroidered on the hem, gleaming coldly under the sunlight.

He raised his chin slightly, his eyes filled with arrogance, as if evaluating something insignificant. He looked Xu Wendong up and down, his lips curling into a mocking smirk, as if the disdain was overflowing: ”Young Master Lin, I am the Huang Family’s Housekeeper.”

”Today, I come with my lady with only one purpose, to annul the marriage contract once set with the Xu Family!”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a giant stone thrown into a tranquil lake, instantly creating waves upon waves.

The Lin Family members who stood by, each with different expressions, heard this and their faces instantly froze, filled with shock and disbelief.

Even the onlookers in the street erupted into a frenzy, whispering among themselves more and more loudly.

Everyone looked at each other, faces full of surprise, clearly unprepared for the Huang Family’s grand entrance to be for a matter like annulment.

Within Netherworld City, though divorce was not unheard of, it was always the man who proposed annulment based on family status or personal ability.

A woman initiating a divorce was unprecedented; how could it not be shocking?

Xu Wendong stood in place, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

He gazed at Huang Ying’s familiar yet unfamiliar face, the tenderness and closeness of the past seemingly still present yesterday, now replaced by a cold sense of distance.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found his throat blocked, unable to make a sound.

Huang Ying’s gaze never met his, as if he were merely air.

Her expression was indifferent, as if the man she had an engagement with had become a stranger.

The Huang Family’s Housekeeper saw Xu Wendong’s silence, sneered, and continued, ”Young Master Lin, surely you understand, with your talents, you are far from worthy of my lady.”

”She is my Huang Family’s cherished Bright Pearl, a renowned favored daughter in Netherworld City, her future is limitless.”

”Looking at you again, you are merely a useless Young Master in the Lin Family, with no accomplishments whatsoever!” His voice was sharp and biting as if aimed straight at Xu Wendong’s heart.

These words, once spoken, caused an uproar on the street, with laughter rising one after another.

The onlookers laughed, their faces showing undisguised sarcasm.

These laughs, like tumultuous tides, completely submerged Xu Wendong.

Just as Manager Huang mentioned, Xu Wendong’s status within the Lin Family plummeted, becoming an undeniable useless Young Master in the clan’s eyes, the least welcomed.

Before his parents went missing, he was young and arrogant, flamboyant and haughty, condescending and oblivious.

Frequently relying on his identity, he ruthlessly bullied other young clanmates, aggressively seizing the cultivation resources others painstakingly accumulated.

Over time, he had thoroughly offended all the young members of the Lin Family, becoming the target of their ire.

Yet fate’s trajectory is always elusive; after his parents mysteriously disappeared, his life underwent a drastic change.

The glory of the past was no more, leaving behind only endless loneliness and ridicule.

Even the servants no longer regarded him.

As everyone’s attention was focused on the man in black and the Huang Family’s Housekeeper, Xu Wendong’s low and steady voice gradually rang out on the bustling street: ”I refuse!”

His tone was calm, as tranquil as a windless lake, devoid of the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if Manager Huang’s sharp insults were merely passing breezes.

The jeering laughter from the surrounding crowd was also mere noise, not disturbing his inner peace.

A simple phrase, yet like a heavy hammer, it struck into everyone’s hearts.

In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene became heavy, the air seemingly solidified by these three words.

Everyone’s eyes widened, faces full of disbelief. No one anticipated that, facing the Huang Family’s assertive annulment, Xu Wendong would dare to refuse.

”Lin Mo, do you still hold any unrealistic fantasies about me?” Huang Ying’s cool voice sounded like an ice pearl falling, crisp yet intensely chilling.

A sharp coldness flashed through her beautiful eyes, like a blade in the cold night, piercing directly at Xu Wendong: ”If that’s the case, I advise you to dismiss the notion. I, Huang Ying, will never bind my life with a useless person like you!”

Xu Wendong slightly raised his head, his lips curling into a profound smile, hiding indiscernible emotions within.

”Throughout history, matters of marriage typically involve the man initiating annulment. When have you heard of a woman annulling marriage to the man?” His voice was steady yet undeniably assertive.

Upon saying this, he took a deep breath, his chest slightly heaving, releasing a loud voice, like a strong current breaking the oppressive atmosphere on scene: ”I, Lin Mo, in front of everyone today, propose annulment to you, Huang Ying!”

”From now on, the roads diverge, and we walk separate paths, with no entanglement!”
