Chapter 236 Heart Knot
Looking at Su Xiangwan's appearance, Gu's father assumed that she had forgotten about Xu Yirou.
He even specifically explained to her that Xu Yirou was a member of the educated youth settlement.
Hearing this, Su Xiangwan smiled and nodded, saying, "Dad, of course I know Xu Yirou, the educated youth! I just didn't expect her to suddenly come to Beijing."
Xu Yirou, this name has been forgotten by her for a long time.
I originally thought that my connection with Xu Yirou had ended when I left Bakushu Village.
From then on, she was just a passerby in his life.
Even though, in the original storyline, this passerby was Gu Yanxiao's wife.
only……
Who would have thought that, after all the twists and turns, Xu Yirou, though not with Gu Yanxiao, would end up with Wu Yong'an?
Wu Yong'an returned to the capital and will continue to serve as Gu Yanxiao's subordinate.
Does this mean that we will still have to interact with each other in the future?
Thinking about all this, Su Xiangwan was momentarily at a loss as to how she should face Xu Yirou's arrival.
"Honey, what's wrong? You seem upset. Did something happen?"
When Gu Yanxiao returned home that evening, he immediately noticed something was wrong with his wife.
However, after seeing that Su Xiangwan was trying her best to hide her emotions and not let them affect her family, he refrained from asking.
After finishing dinner, washing up in his room, and getting into bed, he finally asked the question.
Su Xiangwan glanced at Gu Yanxiao. Although they were already parents, people in this era tend to get married and have children at a relatively young age.
Therefore, Gu Yanxiao is only twenty-four years old now.
In her original world, she would have only just graduated from university.
At this time, Gu Yanxiao was the most dazzling rising star in the military region, holding the high position of deputy division commander.
She was riding high in the spring breeze, radiating unparalleled charm.
Not to mention, he already has a very attractive face.
No wonder, even when he was in such a sorry state, half-mad and half-foolish after going to Bakushu Village, he was still able to attract Xu Yirou's affections.
Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes, looking at Gu Yanxiao with a dangerous glint in her eyes, and asked, "Gu Yanxiao, do you remember what you said to me before we went to the countryside?"
When Gu Yanxiao met his wife's icy gaze, a level-ten alarm immediately went off in his mind. He quickly straightened his posture and asked, "What did you say?"
"You said you'd divorce me after you left the hospital." Su Xiangwan looked at Gu Yanxiao with a half-smile, her fingers "gently" caressing the soft flesh of Gu Yanxiao's waist as she spoke.
"young married woman……"
Gu Yanxiao's heart skipped a beat, and he finally understood what it meant to settle scores later.
He then tried to appease Su Xiangwan with a cautious expression: "Wife, I was injured back then and my mind wasn't clear, so please don't hold it against me."
Su Xiangwan glanced at him, naturally not wanting to hold a grudge against him over this matter.
After all, it was the original owner who insisted on leaving, so it's no wonder Gu Yanxiao was blamed.
She wanted to ask something else.
"I just want to know, when you agreed to divorce me, were you already prepared to marry another woman?"
Hearing this, Gu Yanxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wife, what are you thinking? I agreed to the divorce because what you said made sense. If a divorce could protect you and the child, then going through the divorce procedures is not out of the question."
"Because, in my heart, whether or not we have a marriage certificate, it will never change the place you and our child hold in my heart."
Gu Yanxiao was speaking from the heart.
In the past, although he and his wife were only married because of the arrangement of their elders, there was no affection between them.
But as a soldier, he still maintained absolute loyalty and a strong sense of responsibility towards his wife.
Even at that time, his wife was making a scene about divorce, and there was no room for negotiation.
He had no choice but to agree to his wife's request for a divorce.
He remained determined that even after obtaining a divorce certificate, he would not change his attitude towards his wife and children.
We must protect them well and work hard to ensure they have enough to eat and wear, so that they don't miss out on life with their wives and children just because they lack a marriage certificate.
However, at that time, he naturally dared not say these words to "Su Xiangwan".
Otherwise, given Su Xiangwan's personality at that time, she would definitely have caused chaos in the family again.
But now, he and Su Xiangwan are in love, have faced so much together, and have even had such an adorable son, Niannian.
They had already reached a deep understanding and pledged their lives to each other, so when Su Xiangwan asked him about it again, he naturally told her the truth.
“Then…if I die…” Su Xiangwan asked hesitantly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Yanxiao frowned and interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
"I was just saying if! Don't interrupt me." Su Xiangwan simply reached out and covered Gu Yanxiao's mouth, asking, "If I died, would you marry another woman, have children again, and start a new family?"
At this point, Su Xiangwan suddenly paused.
It seems they've grasped a certain point.
To have another child.
Yes, having children.
If she remembered correctly, in the original storyline, Gu Yanxiao and Xu Yirou never had children after they got married.
This is indeed a bit strange.
"Wife..." Gu Yanxiao noticed that even after she finished speaking, she didn't put her hand down to cover herself.
Fortunately, she didn't use force; otherwise, he would have really suspected that Su Xiangwan was planning to murder her husband after his answer didn't satisfy her.
"Hmm?" Su Xiangwan's mind was in a mess. She felt like she had grasped some key point, but that possibility was too far-fetched.
"Wife, there are no 'what ifs.' But if you insist on an answer, then I can only tell you that I will not marry anyone else," Gu Yanxiao said earnestly.
Su Xiangwan lowered her eyes and said, "What if... what if there is a woman who is very pitiful, and if you don't marry her, she might not be able to survive?"
Although Gu Yanxiao didn't understand why Su Xiangwan was so insistent on this impossible thing, he was smart enough to see that Su Xiangwan's mood was off tonight, obviously because of this issue.
He thought about it carefully and replied, "If there really is a woman whose life is in danger and she needs me to marry her in order to survive, I will give her the status of my wife, but only that status."
