Even if we're constantly being misled, as long as we have a tacit understanding, we just do it. — Gu Zhiqian The roses outside the window do not disappoint the spring. They grow wildly and beautifully. The handsome man looked down from above, with one hand unbuttoning his shirt to reveal his collarbone. The mole at the corner of his eye was as crimson as ever. "What did you just say?" On the pure cashmere blanket, Song Qin moved back little by little, her voice a bit broken, "We... let's divorce." Upon hearing this, the man laughed, a laugh that was extremely wicked. His glittering dan eyes glistened with moisture, and his sharp jawline tightened. Song Qin's heart pounded like a drum, her jade feet on the carpet rising slightly with each step. "We haven't had children for two years, and grandpa would agree to it." As soon as the words left her mouth, the man's eyes were red with unshed tears, like a wild beast awakened. He lunged at her with ferocious intensity... …… "Grandpa is back!" The butler's booming voice came from the garden, startling Song Qin who was lost in thought in the study. Hearing Gu Zhiqian's footsteps approaching, Song Qin hurriedly put away a half-finished sheet of paper. Raising his eyes once more, the cold and noble man was right before him. "I'm back!" His low voice resonated, his eyes fixed deeply, "Song Qin, I agree to the divorce." Song Qin clenched her fists, her heart aching. Actually, I had expected his answer. It was just that his out-of-control behavior last night made me hopeful, thinking that after two years of marriage he would at least leave some room for himself. Who knew it was all just a fantasy. Song Qin lowered her eyes, the corner of her mouth curving into a charming arc. "Okay! I'll move out today." Gu Zhiqian stared at the subtle changes in her face, a scrutiny hidden beneath his placid gaze. He wasn't mistaken, she was smiling. The person in front of me was resolute, their attitude suggesting a decision made after careful consideration of the pros and cons. He felt anything but the relief he'd expected, instead growing even more irritated. He said coldly, "Do you really think any man would want you after you leave me?" Song Qin listened to his slightly sarcastic words and let out a wry smile. I only saved Grandpa because I was saving his family. That year, during my freshman year, I visited the music department and was immediately captivated by this elegant and artistic man. At that time, I only knew he was an amazing piano prodigy, and had no idea about his illustrious family background. After that, I never expected to have this opportunity. To be able to take care of a panda, to become the savior of my adoptive family, and to be forced by Mr. Gu's powerful command to become the wife of this man. Unfortunately, in his eyes, she was nothing but a woman with ulterior motives, who craved to climb into a wealthy family and fantasized about overnight success and becoming someone important. "Here comes Lawyer He, Mr. Gu." Gu Zhiqian's assistant, Qi Yue, walked in and reminded his boss at the right time. And Song Qinshu's thoughts were pulled back to reality, "I'm going to change my clothes." The divorce agreement process took less than five minutes to complete. Song Qin immediately returned to her room to pack a few essentials. She didn't take anything that Gu Zhiqian had given her. He even folded his bathrobe neatly on the bedhead and only took a small suitcase downstairs. Qi Yue looked at his boss's face, as if his ancestral grave had been dug up. His low, heavy voice was suffocating. At last, Gu Zhiqian still gentlemanly opened his mouth, "I'll send you back." "No." Song Qin didn't turn her head back, her voice was cold. Gu Zhiqian gave Qi Yue a look, signaling him to drive while he chased after them, standing shoulder-to-shoulder. As a sidelong glance caught sight of the bewildered expression, he couldn't help but speak again, "I will have Qi Yue divide up the assets fairly. At that time, you just need to sign and they will be transferred directly into your name." "Don't need it... That belongs to the Gu family, not mine." Even though he misunderstood and thought poorly of him, he cherished his own reputation and would never stoop to a vulgar level. "You... have a better option?" He finally asked the question that had kept him up all night. "Yes! I have a better option. Thanks for your generosity over the past two years." Even when leaving, I'll take care of everything and won't owe anyone anything. Song Qin's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, her captivating fox-like eyes brimming with glistening tears, appearing exceptionally vulnerable and pitiful. But he knew that the previous Song Qin wouldn't be like this, lively and honest, not at all hypocritical. The past two years have been marked by a quiet and respectful demeanor, barely exchanging words. I've meticulously maintained the facade of a dutiful wife. "Back then, you were just this pitiful and you bought my grandfather's heart, weren't you?" He sneered. "What?" Song Qin looked back at him, feeling that all the warmth in spring had become unbearably piercing! "Are you going to give up all your possessions? Even me, am I to be handed over?" Gu Zhiqian continued to press. "Yes, all for your son!" he smiled at him, but the pain in his heart slowly spread. Miss Jìn of the prominent Jìn family and Gu Zhiqian are childhood sweethearts. Everyone thought they would have a happy ending, but unfortunately, an unexpected event happened, a stumbling block appeared in their path, and Old Master Gu separated them! Song Qin couldn't understand, what had she done wrong? To be so miserable! Seeing the car stop at his side, he suddenly reddened his eyes and shouted, "Gu Zhiqian!" With a slight raise of his handsome eyebrows, Gu Zhiqian chuckled inwardly. Well, well, looks like you're regretting it now, aren't you? The next second, Gu Zhiqian froze. The little one rushed into his arms, a sweet fragrance wafting from her nose. Whispered softly in her heart, "Goodbye, my prince." At this very moment, the phone rang. Song Qin caught sight of the incoming call on his phone—"Jin". |
