When I came downstairs, Gu Nianci and Xu Yan were sitting in front of my parents. The four of them looked very happy together, just like a real family.

However, my parents didn't look at me. Instead, when Gu Nianci saw me, she stood up immediately with some surprise and walked towards me, saying, "Xu Ruo, want to talk?"

Her voice was as cold as ever, but I didn't care. She'd always been this cold towards me, even after we got married. Even after she casually mentioned, "I want to eat at home every day, I want someone waiting for me at home," I spent all my time outside of work cooking and cleaning for her, even firing the housekeeper to become a stay-at-home dad, and I still couldn't get a single smile from her.

When Xu Yan saw her come to me, his gaze was noticeably cold. However, perhaps for some reason, he held back and didn't come with Gu Nianci. I smiled slightly at him and then looked at Gu Nianci instead, saying, "We're getting a divorce tomorrow. Is there anything else to say?"

Aren't you afraid Xu Yan will be unhappy?

Gu Nianci had a different expression on her face for the first time when she faced me.

She frowned slightly, then said, "Let's talk outside."

I thought about it for a moment, then followed them.

Song Qingrong was still waiting outside. When she saw me come out, she quickly walked towards me. However, when she saw Gu Nianci, she stopped. After I gave her a reassuring smile, she shrugged and went back to where she had been waiting for me.

Gu Nianci also saw her and said with a hint of teasing, "You've already found a new partner so quickly?"

"Qingrong and I are just friends." I instinctively wanted to explain, but then I thought better of it and didn't continue.

Gu Nianci didn't ask any further questions. She led me to the garden before looking at me and saying, "Are you really going to get a divorce?"

That surprised me.

I looked at her in surprise and said, "Isn't this what you wanted?"

"We've been married for so many years, and you've already said that we're married in name only... Isn't divorce what you wanted?"

Gu Nianci was silent for a while, but her eyes held a complex look that I couldn't understand. She looked at me and after a moment, she continued, "That's what I thought before."

"But now..."

"I think you should reconsider."

"What do you mean?" I chuckled. "What do you want me to consider? Consider not getting a divorce?"

"Stop messing around, Gu Nianci. I don't know what you're thinking, but do you really think there's any chance for us?"

"Besides, you love Xu Yan. If we get a divorce, you and Xu Yan can live happily ever after. Isn't that the best outcome?"

"Yes!" Gu Nianci did not deny it. "I just feel that this is unfair to you."

I was taken aback. "Should I thank you for thinking of me?"

"Or are you trying to take this opportunity to humiliate me?"

"Is this your way of getting revenge for breaking you and Xu Yan up?"

At this moment, I couldn't understand Gu Nianci. If she didn't love him, why did she act like this? Was she trying to make me feel that I was the one who was wrong and that losing her was my problem?

How ridiculous!

If it were before, I might have had this thought.

Unfortunately, after figuring it out, I realized that I didn't belong to this world, and leaving and disappearing was the right thing for me.

“I didn’t mean to humiliate you.” Gu Nianci frowned at me. “I just think you deserve more.”

“I heard from your uncle and aunt that you don’t want anything when you leave the Xu family, which means you will have nothing at all.”

"Even if there is some money earned through the Xu family over the years, it is nothing."

"so……"

"I want to work with you."

"Cooperation?" I was a little confused.

“We’re not getting a divorce for now.” Gu Nianci looked at me seriously. “You know, the Gu family is facing some problems right now. Although we have the Xu family’s help, it won’t be easy to get through this.”

“If we divorce now, it will only make things more difficult for Gujia.”

I frowned and said, "After we get divorced, you and Xu Yan can get married. The Gu family will still help you. It won't make any difference to you."
