She turned around and gave Fu Chengyi a sweet smile, saying, "Let's go."
No matter how well or how much she smiled, in Fu Cheng's eyes it was nothing more than a tool she was best at using to disguise her emotions.

Fu Cheng took her back to the hotel. After returning home, Fu Hange took a shower and went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, there seemed to be a knocking sound at the door. Fu Hange was startled awake from her dream. She clutched the bedsheet and asked, "Who is it?"
Her voice was filled with panic. Why would anyone come looking for her so late? And the only person who knew where she lived was Fu Chengyi. Who was standing outside the door?
The knocking did not stop with her silence; instead, it grew stronger, even resounding through the valley.
She frowned. Who could be looking for her so late at night? It made no sense. This was a hotel; why would someone come to harass her?
Startled, she asked, "Who?"
A low voice sounded from outside the door: "It's me."
Cold yet melodious, who else could it be but Gu Yuan?
Fu Hange knew she couldn't see him right now; if she opened the door for him, he would definitely yell at her.
She replied perfunctorily, "It's so late, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'm here to discuss our divorce," the voice outside the door said again.
Undeniably, this was tempting for Fu Hange; she couldn't refuse to give it to him even if she wanted to.
She got up, put a shawl over herself, and then went outside to open the door for him.
As soon as the door opened, Gu Yuan rushed in and pinned her against the wall. His rough kisses fell like a torrential rain, lingering on her lips as if he wanted to kill her.
"Let me go..." Fu Hange mumbled.
Gu Yuan deepened the kiss, making it more forceful and intense.
Fu Hange was breathless from his ministrations. She reached out and pushed him, but Gu Yuan saw this as a ploy to get her.
He abruptly released her, panting, and asked, "What? I just agreed to the divorce, and now you won't even let me touch you?"
Fu Hange lowered her head and remained silent.
Gu Yuan was very dissatisfied with her reaction and picked at her chin: "What? Did I say something wrong? You went to great lengths to divorce me so you could get engaged to Fu Chengyi, is that it?"
From the moment he found her in the countryside, she was reluctant to come back with him. After much difficulty, he finally managed to bring her back, but all she wanted was to divorce him and go find another man.
Fu Hange met his eyes, her gaze chillingly calm: "Do you know why I divorced you?"
This was the calmest conversation she had with him since she returned. Gu Yuan was clearly taken aback, completely unexpected that she would ask such a question.
Fu Hange said slowly, "Because you only care about your own feelings, you never try to see things from my perspective, and you always take your anger out on me. I really don't like you like that."
Her eyelids were deep-set, and she looked exhausted.
Gu Yuan stood there, stunned. He didn't understand her feelings? He felt sorry for her because she couldn't cook, so he hired a housekeeper for her. Because he missed her, he endured a fever and went to the countryside to bring her back. He had tried his best to accommodate her, but she always rejected him. Why did she think that way?
"Do you really think of me as such a despicable person?" Gu Yuan asked, his voice choked with emotion.
Fu Hange remained silent. In truth, these were not her true feelings. Her outburst of anger was genuine, but the rest of her words implied a desire to distance herself from him.
“I was doing just fine in the countryside back then, it was you who forced me to come back,” she suddenly said.
