Since Gu Xingze returned, he has become a different person, and he no longer clings to Su Jin with kisses and hugs like he did this morning.
However, since he didn't bother her, Su Jin was happy to have some peace and quiet.
I put a rope on the bread and took it for a walk.
"Let's go, let's go out and have some fun."
Gu Xingze said, "Be careful, watch the car."
Su Jin replied, "I know, I'm not stupid."
As the door closed, Gu Xingze shed his calm facade; he truly admired Su Jin.
Why can he act so nonchalantly?
Why can you tolerate having intimate acts with someone you don't love?
Why don't you love him...
But there's no reason why, she's just that heartless.
What should I do if I discover that my wife doesn't love me at all?
Deep down, Gu Xingze was still having shameful thoughts.
She does love herself to some extent, she loves herself 10 out of 10, isn't that enough?
Just as he was lost in thought, Su Jin returned from walking the dog.
"I'm exhausted, I'm going to sleep now."
Okay, good night.
Su Jin was halfway upstairs when Gu Xingze suddenly called out to her, "Wife."
"What's up?"
Gu Xingze gripped the handrail, looked up at her, and said, "Wife, can I sleep with you tonight? We won't do anything."
Su Jin frowned. "You're not a child."
Gu Xingze's tone was tinged with pleading, "Just tonight."
Su Jin relented, "Okay."
Gu Xingze followed her upstairs step by step.
As night deepened, Su Jin fell into a deep sleep, but Gu Xingze was wide awake.
Tracing her silhouette with his gaze in the darkness, he murmured softly, "Su Jin... what are you thinking?"
0827 poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "Of course she's thinking about how to divorce you. Think about it yourself, how many times has she tested you?"
Gu Xingze gave it a cold look, saying, "Get out of my head."
0827 said helplessly, "Don't worry, I'll automatically detach myself first thing tomorrow morning. Instead of thinking about me, you should think about your wife."
"What's wrong? Why aren't you asleep?"
Su Jin opened her eyes in the darkness at some point and stared blankly at him.
Gu Xingze slowly rubbed against her side, hooked his fingers around hers, and inserted them into her palm, so that their fingers were intertwined.
"Honey, will we always be together?"
Su Jin sighed silently, "You're staying up all night thinking about this?"
His hand, which was intertwined with hers, moved restlessly, caressing her skin and giving Su Jin a slight ticklish sensation.
"Answer me, okay?"
Gu Xingze was backlit by the moonlight, so his expression was obscured, but judging from his tone, he wasn't joking.
Su Jin was silent for a moment before replying, "If you don't want to break up, you probably won't. But maybe one day in the future we'll get tired of each other and break up peacefully, who knows?"
She was telling the truth; she didn't have the energy to get into a lawsuit with Gu Xingze, so she figured it out last night.
It's not necessarily a bad thing to just live like this, in a muddle and without much thought.
Five years from now, he should be past the age where he would be devastated if they were separated.
If Su Jin wants to do business, it's best not to make enemies and to part ways peacefully; it's better for both of them.
Of course, it's always better to treat yourself better.
Gu Xingze's lips trembled a few times upon hearing this answer.
"Okay, go to sleep."
...
The next morning.
Gu Xingze prepared a nutritious breakfast for Su Jin as usual and served it on the table.
After she finished eating, he asked without warning, "Su Jin, do you love me?"
Su Jin wiped her mouth. "What's wrong with you now?"
Gu Xingze looked at her with an almost sorrowful expression, "Can you answer me?"
Su Jin answered irrelevantly, "Does it really matter whether someone loves another or not?"
Gu Xingze nodded. "It's important, very important to me. I want to hear it from you in person."
Su Jin avoided looking into his eyes. "Of course I love you, just a little bit."
Gu Xingze forced a smile, nodded, and muttered to himself, "I understand."
Su Jin thought she had gotten away with it and breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, his next words were, "Let's get a divorce."
Su Jin thought she had misheard. "What did you say?"
Gu Xingze deliberately chose this time so that he could make her one last breakfast and wait until she finished eating before bringing it up, so as not to affect her appetite.
He pulled out a chair and sat down, afraid that he might lose his balance and give her away.
"Let's get a divorce."
His nose stung, and he hurriedly covered his eyes with the back of his hand.
It's too difficult to be the one to let go first.
However, he was unwilling to put Su Jin's life in danger because of his selfishness.
It's okay if we're separated, as long as I know she's still alive and well in this world.
Su Jin thought for a long time and concluded that he was just throwing a tantrum.
"Is it because I said I loved you a little bit? Is that all that's causing the divorce?"
She walked towards Gu Xingze, "Please, stop messing around, okay?"
Are you kidding me? He brought up divorce when she had decided to just live like this?
Shouldn't he be the one to file for divorce?
Gu Xingze suppressed the bitterness in his heart, raised his head, and looked at Su Jin with despair in his eyes. "Su Jin, I don't want to spend my whole life with someone who doesn't love me."
Su Jin withdrew her coaxing expression and slowly became indifferent.
"Are you serious?"
Gu Xingze nodded with difficulty, "Seriously."
She turned on her toes and went upstairs.
He came down again shortly afterward, holding his household registration book and ID card.
"I can't find my marriage certificate. Should I go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now?"
She really is decisive and efficient.
Gu Xingze couldn't do what she did; he even stumbled when he stood up and almost fell.
Su Jin instinctively reached out to help him, but he stubbornly turned his head away, saying, "I don't need your help."
Su Jin shrugged. "Okay, I was just worried you'd fall and not be able to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Gu Xingze entered his study, opened the safe, and two red books were very conspicuous inside.
Su Jin, who was following behind him, was taken aback. "No wonder I couldn't find it. Are you on guard against thieves? Who would steal this?"
Gu Xingze remained silent and carefully put away his identification documents.
Su Jin waved to him, "Let's go."
"etc."
Gu Xingze awkwardly replied, "We can't go now; the divorce papers aren't ready yet."
Let's stay a little longer, even just a little while.
Su Jin suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I have that. Didn't I have a copy a few months ago? I still have it."
Gu Xingze clenched his hands hanging by his sides, still trying to make a last-ditch effort, "Let me see what's inside."
Su Jin pulled it out of the file bag. "It says here that I will not take your shares, only your property. Will you let me see the car and house under your name?"
She was so well prepared that Gu Xingze couldn't find a single fault with her, nor could he find a reason to stay with her any longer.
