?24: Chapter 024: Unable to Divorce 24: Chapter 024: Unable to Divorce What does it mean to gild the lily?

    Does this bastard actually want to divorce her?

    Doesn’t he regret it at all?

    Lin Shiyan felt for the first time that her self-esteem was deeply frustrated.

    With you being so short, unattractive, and poor, occupying two-thirds of a pure loser, on what basis do you take the initiative not to want her, a top-notch beauty and CEO!

    She couldn’t figure it out, nor could she understand it.

    Just in Jiangdu City alone, there are no fewer than ten thousand men who would want to marry Lin Shiyan.

    Not to mention the young talents from other cities and even foreign countries, why wouldn’t he want her?

    However, no matter how frantic Lin Shiyan was, Wang Dadong was no longer visible to her, for he had already entered the Civil Affairs Bureau.

    The marriage registration office and the divorce registration office are separate, but to reach the divorce registration office, you must first pass through the marriage registration office.

    At this time, there were already a few couples undergoing marriage registration in the marriage registration office.

    “Honey, I heard that you need a marriage certificate for divorce registration.

    Shall we burn the marriage certificate after we get married so that we can never get divorced?” A woman undergoing marriage registration said to the man beside her.

    “Sure, wife.” Faced with the woman’s romantic request, the man readily agreed.

    At that moment, a staff member processing marriage registrations said expressionlessly, “Without a marriage certificate, you can’t register your child’s residence.”

    “...”

    “Honey, will you still treat me as well as you do now after we get married?”

    “I will treat you well for a lifetime.”

    “...”

    Perhaps it is deliberate that the Civil Affairs Bureau arranges the marriage registration office at the front.

    In this way, those considering divorce might listen to these vows, that perhaps they once said, and give up the idea of divorcing.

    Of course, it has limited effect.

    Coming to the divorce registration office, however, presents a different scene.

    “We must divorce.”

    “If you want a divorce, then divorce.

    I’ve been fed up with you for a long time, you damn fatso!”

    “You dare call me a fatso?

    How are you any better?

    Poor, ugly, and with smelly feet, do you think I wanted to stick with you?”

    If the marriage registration office could be described with the affections of lovers, then the divorce registration office should be likened to a world war.

    Even those couples who weren’t cursing each other were looking at one another with cold eyes.

    At this moment, how many of them can remember the vows they also once said, to stay together for life, never to part?

    Divorce nowadays isn’t like before, when there were more people getting married and fewer getting divorced.

    So during a divorce, staff would generally try to persuade the couple, asking them not to separate.

    Now, there are fewer marriages and more divorces.

    Therefore, the staff just symbolically inquire about the reasons for the divorce and if it’s voluntary, and then they process the paperwork.

    So the progress is quite fast, and after about twenty minutes, it was Wang Dadong and Lin Shiyan’s turn.

    “Why are you divorcing?” the staff asked Lin Shiyan expressionlessly.

    Why was she divorcing?

    Of course, because she was fed up with this guy.

    Lin Shiyan said coldly, “I don’t like him.”

    “And you?” The staff member then asked Wang Dadong.

    “Our feelings have broken down, and we can’t get along anymore,” Wang Dadong said indifferently.

    Feelings?

    Had they really ever had feelings for each other?

    “Fill out the forms.” The staff member threw two forms in front of them and then paid them no more attention.

    Both of them filled out the forms at the same time and handed them over together with their marriage certificate, ID cards, and other documents.

    Once the divorce certificate was issued, the two would be officially separated.

    This absurd marriage should never have begun.

    The staff member checked their files and immediately frowned, asking, “Excuse me, do either of you have citizenship of another country?”

    “Another citizenship?

    No,” Lin Shiyan replied, shaking her head in confusion.

    Although she had studied in America, she had not applied for American citizenship, and Huaxia Country did not recognize dual nationality.

    “I might have another citizenship,” Wang Dadong suddenly said, scratching his head.

    Lin Shiyan looked at Wang Dadong with surprise in her eyes.

    This guy actually had another citizenship!

    “May I ask which country?”

    “It should be the Kingdom of Kansas,” Wang Dadong said, not entirely sure himself.

    The Kingdom of Kansas was a small African nation with a population of just a few hundred thousand, extremely poor and underdeveloped.

    Wang Dadong had stayed there on a mission three years ago, and upon his return, he had donated all his money to that small country.

    When he left, the King of Kansas had promised that once the country developed, he would be given an official position and the princess would be married to him.

    Wang Dadong had not taken it seriously at the time.

    Of course, he did not dare to marry the princess of the Kingdom of Kansas because she was only thirteen years old at the time, still a little girl!

    So, if Wang Dadong had another citizenship, it was very likely to be that of the Kingdom of Kansas.

    Of course, this citizenship was not recognized by Huaxia Country.

    At most, it could only be considered a green card from the Kingdom of Kansas.

    But the Kingdom of Kansas allowed dual citizenship, so Wang Dadong ended up with two nationalities.

    “That explains it,” the staff member nodded, then said helplessly, “I’m sorry, but I cannot process your divorce.”

    “What?

    Can’t get divorced?” Lin Shiyan almost jumped from her seat upon hearing this.

    She hadn’t slept all night and had rushed to the company early in the morning, postponing several important meetings just to get a divorce from Wang Dadong, only to be told by the staff that a divorce was not possible!

    “Although the marriage certificate is in the script of Huaxia Country, it was issued by the Kingdom of Kansas, and our country does not recognize dual nationality.

    Therefore, this marriage certificate has no legal standing in Huaxia,” the staff member explained.

    Wang Dadong took the marriage certificate and looked at it, immediately stupefied.

    Indeed, the Kingdom of Kansas was printed on the marriage certificate.

    Neither of them had looked closely at the marriage certificate after receiving it, so they had not noticed that it was not issued by Huaxia Country.

    “However, you don’t have to worry.

    Theoretically, you have no marital relationship and don’t need to get divorced,” the staff member added.

    No marital relationship!

    Lin Shiyan was even more exasperated, thinking that she had let that jerk move into her home, and last night he almost...

    Thankfully, he didn’t succeed, otherwise...

    Lin Shiyan didn’t dare think any further.

    “Of course, you only lack a marital relationship within Huaxia Country, because Huaxia will not recognize Mr.

    Wang’s status as a citizen of Kansas.

    However, once you leave Huaxia, Mr.

    Wang’s status as a national of the Kingdom of Kansas will be recognized, meaning that outside of Huaxia, you are legally married,” the staff member further clarified.

    Another addition from the staff member.

    “So...” Wang Dadong had also not anticipated that a casual deed from the past would cause him such great trouble.

    Clearly, the person handling their paperwork had done this on purpose, to add difficulties to their divorce.

    “Are you saying that I can get divorced if I go to the Kingdom of Kansas?”

    Lin Shiyan asked coldly, having regained her composure from the initial rage.
