I couldn't be bothered to respond to any of that. In the silence, something suddenly popped into my head: "My divorce appointment is next Tuesday, and the court hearing is next Thursday. Your lawyer should have told you that even if you refuse to appear in court, the court can issue a default judgment, and the result will be unfavorable to you—so you can only choose one of the two, or both at the same time."

Gu Yanqing looked at me with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that he didn't understand, I had to explain in more detail: "Even if we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau on Tuesday and submit the documents, there is still a one-month cooling-off period for divorce. In order to prevent you from suddenly changing your mind and making it impossible for me to get a divorce, the court will still hold a hearing on Thursday as usual. I consulted a lawyer, and it is possible to file for divorce during the cooling-off period."

To prevent Gu Yanqing from repeatedly delaying the process, I had no choice but to take a two-pronged approach.

After listening, he smiled coldly and said, "You really went to great lengths to divorce me."

"Yes, so don't make a futile struggle. Let's part ways amicably."

Before I could finish speaking, I prepared to go inside.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yanqing suddenly grabbed my shoulder, forcibly turned me around, and pressed me against the wall.

The incident happened so suddenly that I couldn't react in time. I let out a muffled groan and glared at him, still in shock. "What do you want to do? Don't make me call the police!"

Gu Yanqing was much taller than me. He looked down at me, his eyes bloodshot, and he reeked of alcohol, clearly somewhat incoherent.

"Jiang Wan, we've been together for over six years, we even got our marriage certificate, but I haven't even tasted what it's like to be with you. What a pity. You want a divorce? Fine... at least let me sleep with you once." He slowly uttered these words, his eyes filled with gloom and resentment, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
