Su Jin found it hard to believe that he had treated her that way for the past three years because of this?
Is he out of his mind?
Gu Xingze himself was a little embarrassed, after all, eavesdropping really damaged his aloof image.
He cautiously raised his eyes, staring intently at Su Jin's stunned expression. His face softened, and he opened his arms.
"Jinjin, I haven't seen you in so long, for two whole days. I miss you so much... Can I have a hug?"
Su Jin raised an eyebrow. "You talk as if you go home all the time, but you never do."
Gu Xingze shook his head frantically, "How could I not go home? I go home every day. I work too late, and by the time I get back, you're already asleep..."
As he spoke, his voice unconsciously lowered. He could only take advantage of Su Jin's deep sleep to carefully kiss her soft face, which was one of the few tender moments he could share.
Thinking of his wife's adorable sleeping face, Gu Xingze's expression softened. "But I'll come home early for our anniversary and your birthday, since I want to celebrate with you."
He counted on his fingers, "I've prepared birthday cakes, birthday presents, and anniversary gifts. I'll put all the gifts on your bedside table."
Su Jin opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
She loathed her birthday and would spend it partying with Lin Shi, selectively forgetting about it, and never noticed that Gu Xingze would come home early that day.
As for the gift? Su Jin thought it was something he prepared for her out of guilt after each time he cheated on her.
So he sold those pieces of jewelry long ago to get money; he couldn't tell him that.
She quickly changed the subject, "So, you married me because you love me? Not because you have a 'white moonlight' or something?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Xingze blinked innocently and asked her, "I was just about to ask, what is a white moonlight?"
Su Jin was stumped by the question, "It's...it's someone I've liked for a long time."
Gu Xingze suddenly realized, "I do."
He stared straight at Su Jin.
"you."
This was the first time Su Jin had ever received such a direct confession, and the usually straightforward Su Jin didn't know how to react.
Gu Xingze stepped forward, and his handsome face came into Su Jin's view.
"Jinjin, it's true, I'm not lying. I don't have anyone else I like, and I haven't cheated on anyone. I'm not rotten; I'm clean, I'm still a virgin..."
His tall frame shrank into a ball in front of her, pitifully begging Su Jin to believe in his innocence.
From Su Jin's angle, you can see his bulging chest muscles peeking out from his collar; they're white and look delicious.
She blurted out, almost as if possessed, "Can I touch it again?"
"ah?"
...
Su Jin did not return to Xie Yunhuai's place, but went to Lin Shi's house instead.
Beauty can be a trap, beauty can be a trap.
She lay in Lin Shi's house, shaking her head as she spoke, "I will never be emperor again. The country is doomed in my hands."
Lin Shi leaned closer and asked, "What? You're still not divorced?"
Su Jin recounted what had just happened in detail.
Lin Shi smiled wickedly, "Big-breasted husband, you're so happy, sister."
"Is that the main point?!"
Lin Shi looked incredulous. "Just tell me if it's soft or not."
Su Jin smacked her lips and nodded. "Soft."
She let out a wail and collapsed, "That's not the point! How can I divorce him?"
Under current laws, if one party doesn't agree, a divorce could drag on for eight to ten years.
She had no confidence that she could beat the Gu family's top lawyer, nor did she have confidence that she would live to see that day.
"Why do you insist on divorcing him?" Lin Shi asked, puzzled.
Lin Shi put her arm around her shoulder. "But let's make this clear first: if we become rich and powerful, we'll never forget each other. From now on, you'll steal your husband's money to support me."
"...Can your acting roles be as few as your money?"
This statement truly reflects the saying "killing eight hundred enemies while losing eight thousand of your own."
Su Jin closed her eyes. "I need to find a job first. I saw on WeChat Moments that so-and-so who graduated in the same year as us is now posting pictures of grilled skewers on his Moments every day."
"And that junior girl, I saw her doing the noodle-pulling dance at Haidilao the other day. Our major really has a wide range of job opportunities, haha."
Su Jin had a vague feeling that her life was over.
"I can hang myself if I want to go up, and I can jump off a building if I want to go down. This is my flexible and adaptable life. I pray to Pangu to shut down the heavens and the earth."
Lin Shi patted her back and comforted her, "It's okay, baby. You're not completely useless. At least you're still a laughing stock for others."
"Hmph, the only things that can change my life now are a windfall of two billion (legally and legally after tax) and death."
Su Jin would never dare to do anything out of line; she is truly a law-abiding citizen.
Lin Shi's phone rang, and she glanced at it before giving Su Jin a meaningful look.
When the call connected, it was a woman's barely suppressed anger: "Is that brat Su Jin with you? Let her answer the phone!"
She is Su Jin's mother.
The call was directed to Lin Shi because her entire family had been blocked by Su Jin several years ago.
Lin Shi swallowed hard. "She's not with me."
Before the person on the other end of the phone could react, Su Jin snatched the phone away, saying, "I'm right here, spit it out."
She didn't want to implicate Lin Shi.
Su's mother's shrill voice pierced the telephone receiver, "You wretched girl! You still dare to get a divorce? Who gave you the audacity? You go to the Gu family right now and apologize, say you've lost your mind to even mention divorce, do you hear me!"
No matter how angry her mother was on the other end, Su Jin was like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water. She simply turned off the sound and let her say whatever she wanted, since she couldn't hear it anyway.
