Chapter 003: Ambiguity and ex-lovers are the worst!
Hearing the clatter of Gu Mingxia's high heels on the marble floor, Bai Zixuan's face turned pale and then flushed, his grip on the camera tightening. The Gu Mingxia of the past, while not entirely submissive, had never uttered a word of dissent in his presence. But today, she was so assertive, and so… shameless!
This was something he hadn't expected. In an instant, Bai Zixuan regretted setting up such a scheme. He hadn't managed to get Gu Mingxia to sign the divorce agreement willingly, but instead had put himself in an embarrassing situation!
Seeing the amused and teasing looks on the eyes of the two teenagers and the private detective beside him, Bai Zixuan felt a surge of irritation. He slammed the camera to the ground, his eyes blazing with anger.
"Get out of here, all of you!"
Once outside the hotel, Gu Mingxia quickly spotted her Porsche convertible in the parking lot. She practically ran to the car, grabbed the door, and desperately vomited until she expelled large amounts of bile.
The Peninsula Hotel! Those four large characters hung firmly on the wall, seemingly mocking her blindness. Her hands gripped the car door tightly; this was the most humiliating day of her life! And the one who had brought her such shame was the husband she had loved wholeheartedly for seven years, a love she had abandoned everything for!
Bai Zixuan, if I don't avenge this, I'm not Gu Mingxia! Biting her lip, Gu Mingxia's eyes were red, flashing with hatred and ruthlessness. She glared at the Peninsula Hotel, wiped her mouth, quickly opened the car door, started the car, and sped away.
She moved very quickly, and although her expression couldn't be seen through her sunglasses, there wasn't a trace of gentleness on her tense face.
The car quickly arrived at the east side of the city. Gu Mingxia bit her lip, thinking that today was the opening day of Liuyan Bar, and she should go to one of them no matter what!
Gu Mingxia turned the car around and drove towards the bar street in the city, but her mind was still on everything that had happened at the Peninsula Hotel.
It's unbelievable that seven years of marriage would end up with such a tragic result. Bai Zixuan is really ruthless!
Gu Mingxia felt that even if she was stupid, she could figure this out. He wanted a divorce but didn't want to give up half of his assets or pay a large alimony fee, so he set up a honey trap to seduce her!
Shaking her head, she gave a bitter smile. Just as she was lost in thought, something hit the front of the car, and Gu Mingxia jolted and slammed on the brakes.
She hit someone! Grabbing the steering wheel, that was the first thing that flashed through her mind! Immediately unbuckled her seatbelt, Gu Mingxia practically scrambled out of the car.
A man wearing a white linen shirt and black trousers was lying face down on the ground about a meter from the front of the car. What should I do? I hope she didn't run him over and kill him!
The bar street is almost deserted during the day. Occasionally, one or two people with hangovers will pass by, but they are ignored and at most glanced at.
Gu Mingxia reached out and touched her long, wind-blown hair, which now looked incredibly disheveled. For the past seven years, she had practically cut herself off from all social interaction and had almost forgotten what kind of person the Gu Mingxia of the past truly was!
For Gu Mingxia, seven years of marriage was more like breaking an eagle that was soaring in the sky and turning it into a canary locked in a cage.
"Miss, are you planning to just watch me lie on the ground forever?"
A cold and indifferent voice reached Gu Mingxia's ears, and she hurriedly reached out to help the man on the ground up.
"Sir, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..."
But when she saw the man's face clearly, she was stunned as if struck by lightning. It was a face she never dreamed she would see again.
Instinctively, Gu Mingxia hurriedly turned around and ran towards the car. The man on the ground seemed to freeze. When he saw her turn around and walk forward, he suddenly stood up and caught up with Gu Mingxia in a few steps, grabbing her wrist with one hand.
“Xiaxia…”
Gu Mingxia bit her lip tightly. When she heard the name "Xiaxia," her long eyelashes trembled and her face turned pale.
However, she quickly regained her composure and turned to give him a pale smile.
"Xiao Yan, it's been a long time!"
"To be precise, Xiaxia, you probably never want to see me again, right?"
The cold words seemed to come from hell, and Gu Mingxia's pale smile slowly disappeared.
Indeed, she never imagined she would see Xiao Yan again in this lifetime. He had died seven years ago! How could he appear before her again?
Xiao Yan's face was almost exactly the same as it had been seven years ago, with sharp features, a high nose, and a tall, slender body. Only his once gentle eyes had turned cold.
Gu Mingxia felt that she was like prey in his eyes.
Gu Mingxia smiled awkwardly, pulled her arm out of Xiao Yan's grasp, and rubbed her wrist hard, which had been gripped so tightly by him.
"I have something to do, let's talk another day!"
Gu Mingxia got into the car, started it, and sped away at breakneck speed, as if fleeing a battlefield. Xiao Yan rubbed his aching leg, a cold and wicked smile playing on his lips.
"Xiaxia...this time, I will never let you escape again!"
