Gu Xiuyuan drove slowly, trying to drive slower and slower, but the facts told him that no matter what he did it would be in vain.
The car stopped in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Ji Shuyu unbuckled his seat belt and got out.
"Xiao Yu." Gu Xiuyuan grabbed her.
Getting out of the car and walking through this door meant the end of their relationship, and he wanted to... wait a little longer.
"Come in!" She calmly broke free from his hand.
Gu Xiuyuan quickly got out of the car and walked around, then took off his coat and wrapped it around her body.
He really wanted to hug her, but she had just had surgery and he couldn't let her be exposed to the wind outside.
Then he took her hand and held it tightly.
The two of them headed towards the police station, and with every step he took, his heartache grew deeper.
If possible, he really wanted time to stop at this moment, or someone to come and stop it all.
He was willing to exchange everything he had for her, but she... really didn't have the slightest hesitation or lingering feelings.
She was the one who prepared and filled out all the written certificates.
The moment she spit out the marriage certificate, Gu Xiuyuan grabbed her hand and said, "Xiaoyu."
He said to her in a trembling voice, "Can I hug you again?"
Looking at Gu Xiuyuan with red eyes, Ji Shuyu's heart, which was already numb from pain, twitched slightly.
She made a sound, and Gu Xiuyuan stretched out his arms and hugged her.
Once the marriage certificate is handed over and the documents are changed, she will no longer belong to him!
Gu Xiuyuan's eyes were so sore and swollen that he could only suppress the soreness in his eyes by clasping his palms tightly.
His arms tightened around me, and then he moved his lips silently: Wife, I love you.
He had never called her like that before after more than two decades of marriage, and there would be no chance again...
This belated love has no meaning to her anymore.
Ji Shuyu let him hold her in his arms, neither happy nor angry, without any reaction.
The working group members saw this and wanted to urge her on but didn't dare to speak. They wanted to give her some advice... but they felt that the girl looked really hopeless.
Young people nowadays!
Alas! This is probably another case of not cherishing someone when you are together, and regretting it when you lose them.
Gu Xiuyuan held her like this for a long time, and finally let go reluctantly when he realized that her patience was running out.
She pulled away from his arms and handed over the marriage certificate without hesitation.
Watching the seal fall, Gu Xiuyuan closed his eyes, not daring to look, and also using this to cover up the sour and wet feeling in his eyes.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of the seal falling shattered my heart.
He couldn't remember what it felt like when he got his marriage certificate, but at this moment... he felt the pain and suffocation deeply.
It turns out that losing is so heartbreaking...
The moment she got the divorce certificate, he clearly heard her breathe a sigh of relief, as if she could finally breathe freely.
Xiaoyu, she could always inadvertently give him the deepest and most painful torture.
…
When I left the Civil Affairs Bureau, the sky was still gloomy.
It seemed that ever since that day of heavy rain, the weather had never been good, just as if there would never be sunshine again in his life.
Watching her slowly fade away was like watching the light of my destiny fade away bit by bit...
“Xiao Yu!!”
Gu Xiuyuan took a few steps to catch up with her, but from this moment on, he was no longer qualified to hold her back.
Ji Shuyu turned around.
She suddenly realized that he seemed haggard and much thinner.
These days were long and difficult, and she was living in a daze. Only then did she think that he seemed to be injured.
However, things had come to this point and it had nothing to do with her anymore.
"Let me take you to eat something!" he asked tentatively.
Ji Shuyu shook her head and refused: "That's it!"
For so many days, she never took the initiative to speak, and even if she did, it would only push him further away.
"Then I'll take you home." he said again.
He just wanted to be with her for a little longer, even for a second.
"No need." Ji Shuyu shook her head, "I'll find a place to move out as soon as possible."
"Where are you going?!"
When he heard that she was moving, Gu Xiuyuan panicked instantly. He was afraid that if she left, he would never be able to find her again.
He thought that she would live in Yuyuan with someone to take care of her, so that he could rest assured about everything. When he wanted to see her, he could still see her from afar.
She listened and smiled faintly, "These are not things you should care about."
She smiled gently and calmly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"How can that be..."
"I'm not a little girl anymore."
At this moment, she suddenly didn't know what to say to him.
"From this moment on, my affairs have nothing to do with you." She said lightly.
"But I watched you grow up." Gu Xiuyuan said anxiously, and then added: "I can't just ignore you."
"Even if... we're no longer husband and wife, we're still... family."
He didn't know how he had managed to bring himself to mention his relatives, but now this was the only connection he could have with her.
"When I decided to divorce, I also thought... that if we met again after a few days, I could still call you Brother Xiuyuan." She lowered her eyes. "Back then, we agreed to part ways amicably. I was just afraid that even the friendship we had when we were young would be erased."
"But we finally took the step that I feared the most." She raised her head and said, "From now on, let's not see each other again."
After saying that, she turned around.
"Xiao Yu..."
Gu Xiuyuan was looking anxiously when he suddenly saw a car rushing towards him.
squeak--
The car nearly hit Ji Shuyu, and Gu Xiuyuan suddenly pulled her back and held her in his arms.
The violent movement hurt the wound, and his face turned pale with pain. He turned around and glared at him angrily.
The car belongs to the Gu family.
Both of them were stunned, and then they saw Gu Bin, wearing a mask, getting out of the car.
Seeing the divorce certificate in his son's hand, Gu Bin's eyes widened in shock.
Ji Shuyu stepped out of his arms and nodded lightly at Gu Bin.
His arms felt empty, and Gu Xiuyuan wanted to pull her, but in the end he couldn't make a sound.
Ji Shuyu turned around.
Snap——
Unexpectedly, his father suddenly attacked him. Gu Xiuyuan staggered and fell to the ground.
Hearing the voice, Ji Shuyu's hands curled up unconsciously, and then she quickened her pace.
Gu Xiuyuan sat on the ground, feeling bitter as he watched Ji Shuyu leave without even looking back.
She could really do it without even looking at him.
"You guys..." Gu Bin was so angry that his voice was unstable, but he couldn't say anything.
Gu Xiuyuan wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, looked at the bloodstains on it, smiled and supported himself to stand up.
He was nowhere to be seen when he was hospitalized after the car accident, and he was a step too late this time. If he had shown up earlier, a slap in the face wouldn't have mattered!
But...isn't his reaction a little wrong?
Didn't he always dislike Xiaoyu and even secretly encourage her to divorce?
Why are you so angry now?
Gu Bin's eyes were filled with anger. Looking at Ji Shuyu who was leaving, his expression was indescribably complicated.
"How can you make such a big decision on your own?!"
"But I've already made up my mind." Gu Xiuyuan looked at his parents coldly, "This is my business. None of you can influence my life."
Gu Bin stared at him, speechless for a long time, and finally turned around angrily and went back to the car.
Bang——
Gu Xiuyuan ignored his mother and looked at the figure that was slowly moving away, his eyes filled with sadness.
A gray car was parked for a long time on the other side of the street.
The people in the car saw everything that just happened.
He rubbed his index finger gently, looking at the distraught Gu Xiuyuan, and a light laugh of pleasure escaped from his lips...
