Inside the house, Gu Shaoxuan was filing for divorce. Since Xia Enruo had refused the job he had found for her, there was nothing holding them back anymore. If she wanted a divorce, he should just make it quick, which would suit her wishes perfectly. He could also explain things to his parents.
He handed the completed divorce application to Xia Enruo.
"Is it finished writing? Can I just sign it at the bottom?"
Xia Enruo took it, and had to admit that Gu Shaoxuan's handwriting was truly beautiful; each stroke was strong and vigorous, a real pleasure to behold. It was the first time she had ever seen his handwriting.
She picked up the pen and quickly signed her name at the bottom.
"Aren't you going to take a closer look?"
Seeing how decisively she signed, Gu Shaoxuan asked.
"No need, it's just a divorce agreement, there's nothing to see. Don't worry, I'll move out as soon as possible after tomorrow and won't bother you anymore."
Xia Enruo had decided that after cooking breakfast the next morning, she would go to pay the rent for the apartment she had found in the afternoon, and then she could move in after a simple tidying up. When she went there the other day, she saw that the landlord had a few simple pieces of furniture in the apartment, which was more than enough for her to live in. It would be unreasonable to stay after a divorce, and she had already decided that even if she left, she would leave a good impression.
"as you like."
Gu Shaoxuan picked up the divorce report, went into the house, and closed the door.
That night, Gu Shaoxuan tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The image of Xia Enruo in her blue dress from yesterday kept flashing through his mind, and he also thought about Xia Enruo's unusual behavior over the past two days.
She has really changed, to the point that she doesn't even recognize herself anymore. Seeing her sign the divorce papers, it's as if divorce is nothing to her. In the past, she would have made a huge fuss.
Xia Enru slept very soundly that night, probably because there was another person in the house, and she wasn't afraid even in the dark.
The next morning, Gu Shaoxuan's biological clock woke him up early. Perhaps because he was used to being in the army, he couldn't go a day without running. He opened the door and saw that Xia Enruo's room was still closed. He guessed that she wouldn't get up until late in the morning. He had to wake her up after his workout, otherwise the divorce would be ruined again today.
When Xia Enruo woke up, she found that Gu Shaoxuan was not in the room.
This guy is really something, always coming and going mysteriously, I can never figure out where he is.
She opened the window to let in some fresh air and saw Ge Qiuqin drying her quilts in the yard.
"Xia, the weather is so nice today. The sky is as blue as a painting. Why don't you come out and air out the blankets? It's such a beautiful day."
Xia Enruo thought to herself that she was getting a divorce today, so why bother airing out the quilts? But the weather was really nice, and the sunshine made her feel good.
"No, Sister Qiuqin, I have something to do today. Let's do it another day."
“If you’re too busy and worried that no one will be able to collect them, I’ll collect them for you at noon, and you can come to my house to pick them up when you come back in the evening.”
"Sister-in-law, thank you. I really can't do it today."
After returning to her room and washing up, Xia Enruo took out 20 yuan and placed it under Gu Shaoxuan's pillow. Since it was a loan, she had to return it; she couldn't go back on her word. However, the original owner's jade pendant keychain was still with Gu Shaoxuan. Oh well, she could ask him for it back later; there was no rush.
She opened her wardrobe, took out a handkerchief, folded her clothes one by one, packed them up, and placed them on the bed. The original owner had only taken a few clothes when she arrived at this house, nothing else, so packing was quick and easy.
She had just finished tidying up when Gu Shaoxuan pushed open the door and walked in. His tall, muscular figure, carrying breakfast, made her squint.
Where did you go?
Gu Shaoxuan did not answer, but only said coldly.
"Hurry up and eat breakfast, then we'll go to the military region."
"Oh, okay. I was just about to tell you that we need to leave early today, I have things to do this morning."
Xia Enruo took the breakfast, went into the kitchen, and started putting it on a plate.
Gu Shaoxuan felt that she was even more anxious than he was, as if she was very happy about the divorce.
After the two finished their meal, Xia Enruo got dressed and followed Gu Shaoxuan out the door. The sight of the two walking one after the other was something they had never seen before in the military family compound.
Tian Xiuli greeted the two as they returned after emptying the sewage bucket.
"Xia, are you and your husband going out?"
"Yes, Sister Xiuli, we're going to the street to take care of some business."
Xia Enruo replied with a smile, after all, this divorce was related to Gu Shaoxuan's influence, and she didn't want it to become public knowledge.
Qiao Huizhen heard Tian Xiuli's voice, opened the door, and peeked out.
She saw Gu Shaoxuan and Xia Enruo chatting and laughing with Tian Xiuli, walking side by side. Her heart was in turmoil. Last night, Ding Haotian came back and scolded her for not knowing her place in the auditorium and for joining in the commotion. The two of them had argued all night because of it, and she was still so angry that her stomach was bloated.
Gu Shaoxuan is really something. He was clearly told to keep a close eye on Xia Enruo, but today the two of them are acting like newlyweds. He deserves to be cheated on by his wife. When his reputation is ruined, let's see how long he can be so smug in the army.
"Pah, shameless bastard. Just because you can sing a song doesn't make you any better than Jiang Pei. You're not even as good as Jiang Pei's heels."
After saying that, he closed the door and went inside.
Xia Enruo followed Gu Shaoxuan out of the compound, greeting many people along the way. Perhaps it was the first time the neighbors had seen the two of them together, and they found it novel. Everyone chatted with her a lot. Xia Enruo's image in everyone's mind had been completely reversed in the past few days, and naturally, more people were willing to strike up a conversation with her.
Shall we take the bus?
Xia Enruo glanced at Gu Shaoxuan.
"Okay, let's go."
Gu Shaoxuan led her toward the bus stop.
Yuan Qiang drove over in a hurry. He saw Gu Shaoxuan and the other person walking on the curb in the distance and hurriedly honked his horn.
