Chapter 97: Do you think a broken mirror can be mended?
The man's tone was calm, and Lu Zhenzhu's heart suddenly sank, and she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand out.
Gu Huai increased his strength, not allowing her to break free.
He looked at her wedding ring and said, "I know you still want to divorce me. I have said my attitude many times. Sese and I will only be brother and sister in the future. Don't think about divorce anymore, okay?"
His words sounded like they were being negotiated, but his tone was unyielding.
"Do you think we can go back to the way things were?"
As soon as Lu Zhenzhu finished speaking, she felt the man's palm squeeze so hard that it hurt.
"Of course." Gu Huai said firmly, his eyes tender and his voice gentle, "We will be better than before."
Looking at his dark eyes, Lu Zhenzhu had a complicated expression and didn't speak for a long time.
"I'm sorry." Gu Huai whispered, his attitude could be considered humble, "Azhu, I did something that hurt you before, can you give me a chance and forgive me?"
He suddenly buried his face between her knees and forced his fingers to interlock with hers. His low, deep voice slowly rang out in the silent bedroom.
"Don't leave me, I really love you."
"I know you saw what I kept, Ah Zhu. You are not a substitute, you never have been."
Lu Zhenzhu shuddered all over, feeling a mixture of emotions.
"What you've done these past two days is making it up to me?"
"I want you to forgive me."
He looked up at her, his eyes filled with regret.
"Azhu, can you please just wait and see how I perform and not get a divorce?" He grabbed her hand and rubbed it on his head, like a poor puppy running to beg for love, with expectation in his eyes.
Lu Zhenzhu pursed her lips and said, "You behaved badly. If I ask for a divorce, would you agree?"
"I won't behave badly." Gu Huai didn't answer her directly, but vowed.
"Really?" Lu Zhenzhu's heart trembled slightly.
"Really." Gu Huai smiled and kissed the back of her hand as if it were a precious and fragile treasure.
…
The next day, dinner.
Lu Zhenzhu was wearing a red evening gown, with her slightly curly hair naturally draped behind her. She held Gu Huai's hand and walked step by step towards the center of the banquet hall in full view of everyone.
Jiang Sesu looked at the two red figures, and the smile on her face solidified and turned into jealousy.
Ah Huai rarely wears a red suit.
It’s not that he can’t handle it, but he thinks red is too bright and prefers black.
Now, in order to match the red skirt with pearls, she is willing to wear a red suit?
Her back teeth were about to break as she looked down at her white evening gown and then at her flamboyant red Lu Zhenzhu, and suddenly she felt overshadowed.
The two of them became the center of attention as soon as they came together. Jiang Sesu walked to Fu Ya's side and said, "Ms. Fu, are you and Mrs. Gu good sisters? Your evening gowns are very similar."
"No flower can rival the red peony; its red color is truly dazzling and brilliant."
Fu Ya wore a red silk backless slit long skirt and a pair of high heels of the same color, giving her the aura of a queen.
The skirt worn by Lu Zhenzhu has no special design. The surface of the skirt is exquisitely hand-embroidered, which is simple, generous and bright.
Fu Ya's smile remained unchanged. She turned her head and smiled, "Miss Jiang, if you like red, you can also wear a red evening gown to attend our dinner party."
"Although I've just returned to China, I've heard a little bit about you and Mr. Gu. Miss Jiang, what I hate most is people using me as a tool. It's just a skirt, how can I really compete with her? I don't have a big heart, but I'm not so petty that I can't tolerate anything."
"That's fine this time, but if you try to use me as a swordsman again, I won't be polite."
Fu Ya stopped looking at her and turned to look for Wei Zhao.
Jiang Sesu looked grim, and was glad that there was no one else around, otherwise she would be embarrassed.
She looked at Fu Ya's receding back coldly.
What are you pretending for?
If someone steals the limelight at a dinner party, it would be strange if you didn't feel resentful.
Unable to let Fu Ya deal with Lu Zhenzhu, Jiang Sesu sat down with champagne, staring at the two people intently.
She caught a glimpse of Fu Ya smiling broadly when she saw Wei Zhao.
That kind of smile...is what a woman would have when she sees her beloved.
Fu Ya likes Wei Zhao?
Jiang Sesu thought of Wei Zhao's previous help to Lu Zhenzhu, and her eyes were filled with calculation.
"A Zhao, why did you come just now?" Fu Ya's tone was a bit complaining, but more of it was acting like a spoiled child.
She reached out to take the man's arm.
Wei Zhao avoided her outstretched hand and glanced at Lu Zhenzhu. "Something happened at the company and delayed me."
Her hand was hanging in the air. Seeing this, Lin Qing put his arm over and said, "Fu Ya, come here. Let me let you rub against the popularity of a big star like me."
Fu Ya didn't appreciate his help, "I don't want to be your rumored girlfriend."
She let go of his hand and reminded Wei Zhao, "My birthday is next week. Don't forget to buy me a birthday present, both of you. You can't be late on my birthday night."
Lin Qing was pushed away by her, and she stood beside Wei Zhao, but this time she did not reach out to hold his arm.
"See if there is anything going on that day." Wei Zhao said in a light voice.
The implication is that if you have something to do, then don't attend her birthday party.
She was a little unhappy. "A Zhao, you should know that our two families are discussing our marriage. I will soon become your fiancée. Can't you be more intimate with me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing walked over with a glass of wine and kept a certain distance from the two of them.
"You won't be my fiancée." Wei Zhao said sternly, "We are just friends now. Fu Ya, don't waste your time on me."
This wasn't the first time he had rejected her.
Fu Ya's answer was the same as always, "Murphy's Law. If you don't want me to be your fiancée, then I will definitely be your fiancée. Ah Zhao, just wait."
Wei Zhao didn't say anything else. He chose a seat and sat down where he could see everything Lu Zhenzhu and Gu Huai were doing.
Fu Ya asked Lin Qing, "Does Ah Zhao have someone he likes?"
Lin Qing's expression didn't change. He smiled and said, "He's always been very secretive. How would I know if he has someone he likes? If you want to know the answer, just ask him."
Fu Ya glared at him.
If she dared to ask, she would have done so long ago.
She just didn't dare.
She was afraid that Wei Zhao would tell her that he had a woman he liked.
Fu Ya was called away, and Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down next to Wei Zhao, followed his gaze, and teased him.
"Love that is not yet obtained is the most cherished thing. You are acting like a peeping tom now. It's not like you don't know each other. Why don't you go and say hello openly?"
Wei Zhao remained silent, just staring at the new wedding ring on her hand, observing how the two of them got along.
She doesn't seem to be as resistant to Gu Huai as before. Has their relationship improved during this period?
Seeing Gu Huai holding her hand, handing her something, and wiping her mouth with his hand, Wei Zhao had a blank expression on her face, but her bony hands were under the table, with white knuckles.
It was not until he saw Gu Huai lowering his head and talking to Lu Zhenzhu, and then kissing the woman on the cheek, that Wei Zhao suddenly raised his hand to loosen his tie, his eyes extremely sharp and cold.
