A month passed in a flash. Qin Chen traveled to Chongqing, Chengdu, and then to Zigong, a city known for its delicious cuisine. He learned a lot about opening a restaurant, but the more he learned, the harder it became to run a business. Finally, he found a chef whose hot pot base was so delicious it spread from miles away.
So I have been busy with the three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage recently, so my return to Jiangbei is bound to be delayed.
Lin Sui was not happy. She hadn't seen Qin Chen for so long that she missed him so much. Apart from the short video calls every night, what was the difference between her and not having a boyfriend during the day?
Every day, apart from going to work and coming home, at night, they had to endure the baptism of noise from the young couple downstairs. Yes, no matter what Lin Sui said to them, Feng Tian's attitude was always respectful, Wan Qing's attitude was always nonchalant, and their actions never changed.
Lin Sui told herself that when Qin Chen came back, she would move out immediately and not suffer this humiliation here!
Maybe it's winter, but Lin Sui has been incredibly sleepy lately. She's completely lethargic all day. Getting up early and driving over an hour to the office used to be a breeze for her, but now it feels like a lifesaver. She's already weaned herself off sleeping pills, but now she falls asleep as soon as she lays on the pillow, as if she's been knocked unconscious.
Her appetite also increased greatly. She wanted to eat everything she saw. Her weight had increased by three kilograms compared to when Qin Chen left. Fortunately, she wore thick clothes in winter, so it was not noticeable.
Facing the mirror, she actually felt that her skin had improved recently, becoming rosy and full of vitality. This was great, great. This way, when she and Zhou Dang went to get their divorce certificate tomorrow, she could tactfully tell him that she was doing well!
Yes, tomorrow is the day when Lin Sui and Zhou Dang will get their divorce certificate. Originally, Lin Sui wanted Qin Chen to go with her, but now it is obviously impossible, so she can only go alone.
For the past month, apart from the one phone call she made to Zhou Dang when she suspected he had kidnapped Qin Chen, there had been no contact between them. Lin Sui's emotions were mixed. On the one hand, she was happy that she could finally escape Zhou Dang's clutches and move on to a new life. On the other hand, she had to admit, she felt a little lost.
Zhou Dang, who had claimed to love her with all his heart and refused to divorce her, dumped her just because she cheated on him? Wasn't this kind of love too cheap? She even suspected that Zhou Dang's love was just a trick to deceive her, and she was the only one who was stupid enough to take it seriously.
Before going to sleep, she sent a message to Zhou Dang, asking him to meet her at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at ten o'clock tomorrow, and not to forget to bring his ID. Zhou Dang did not reply, but she knew that he would go.
The next day, she woke up early and, for the first time ever, put on full makeup. She put on a short, goose-yellow down jacket and a white scarf, jeans, and down boots. She had originally wanted to wear something more sophisticated, like a coat with high heels, but coats were too expensive. She didn't have the money. This month, she gave Zhou Dang all her salary, except for living expenses, a total of 13,000 yuan. She kept a little over 4,000 yuan for herself, which she used for rent and gas, and saved 300 yuan from her own pocket to buy the down jacket.
She arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau ten minutes early and stood at the door, waiting for Zhou Dang. This feeling was very strange, and she was actually a little nervous.
Zhou Dang was very punctual. At ten o'clock, the Rolls-Royce appeared in front of Lin Sui.
Lin Sui narrowed his eyes and watched Zhou Dang walk down from the driver's seat with his long legs. The long black coat made him look more stylish. His hair had grown a little longer, with some strands covering his forehead, making him look younger. He originally looked like he was in his early thirties, but now if he said he was just thirty, some people would believe it.
Lin Sui curled the corners of his mouth and waved at Zhou Dang.
"Hi."
Zhou Dang glanced at her, nodded, and walked straight into the Civil Affairs Bureau. As he walked, he said, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
Lin Sui followed behind with a pout. She was not a staff member, so how could she be fast?
The whole process was indeed very quick. The two people were holding two small red books, which looked no different from marriage certificates if you didn't look carefully.
Zhou Dang didn't even look at Lin Sui the whole time. After they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lin Sui said goodbye to him and prepared to leave.
"Stop." Zhou Dang's voice was deep.
Lin Sui stopped and looked back at Zhou Dang, not understanding what else he wanted to say.
"There's something I need to tell you. I'll be here at half past ten to get the marriage certificate."
This short sentence was like a bomb that exploded in Lin Sui's heart.
"What?" She thought maybe she had heard it wrong.
"You heard it." Zhou Dang smiled, the sunlight hitting his face, looking extremely evil.
"With whom?" Lin Sui asked subconsciously.
"You don't know him." Zhou Dang lit a cigarette and blew smoke rings at Lin Sui.
"Oh." Lin Sui didn't know what to say, but she didn't leave.
"What? Do you want to see what my fiancée looks like?" Zhou Dang asked Lin Sui who was standing still.
"I do." Lin Sui answered concisely.
"Then let's wait together."
Lin Sui stood at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, side by side with Zhou Dang.
Her heart ached, and she couldn't figure out why. She clearly didn't love Zhou Dang, but why did her heart ached when she heard the news that he was getting married?
She murmured, "Do you love her?"
Zhou Dang smoked a cigarette and replied after a long while: "I told you, I love you."
This sentence was very ironic and Lin Sui found it ridiculous.
"Then why did you want to get married?"
"What if you and Qin Chen get married and have kids? I'll be alone until I'm old, right? Lin Sui, aren't you being a little too selfish?"
Lin Sui was stunned. "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that even if you get married, you should find someone you love..."
"What's the difference? I love you, but we're still divorced, aren't we?"
Lin Sui stopped talking again.
She kept looking at the time on her phone, hoping that Zhou Dang's fiancée would come soon. She wanted to see what kind of woman was she who could marry a man she didn't know within a month?
"Where's Qin Chen? Didn't he come with you?"
"He's on a business trip."
"A business trip..." Zhou Dang laughed. What business trip could he have? He had already made arrangements with all the businesses in Jiangbei. It was impossible for Qin Chen to make a comeback here.
A white Mini BMW drove up, and Lin Sui narrowed her eyes. She had a hunch that the person in the car was Zhou Dang's fiancée.
The car stopped and a very young girl got out. She was wearing a white coat and a woolen skirt. She had black hair draped over her shoulders. When she saw Zhou Dang, she waved and ran towards him happily.
"Zhou Dang, don't tell me she is younger than me." Lin Sui said gritting his teeth.
