Hearing this, I was surprised.
This time it wasn't a threat.
Instead, he was willing to get a divorce certificate with me first and then give me time to think about it.
This is a bit unlike Fu Qichuan's style.
Opportunities are hard to come by, so I happily agreed and looked at the time. "Okay, tomorrow. Is he free tomorrow afternoon?"
Qin Ze hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes."
"Then tell him to meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 2 pm tomorrow."
I didn't feel any ups and downs in my heart.
There was no relief.
No other emotions.
It was as casual as if I had made an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow.
I even wondered why I was so deeply trapped in it, experiencing pain and disappointment again and again.
…
After hanging up the phone, Qin Zeqian went into the president's office.
He secretly glanced at Fu Qichuan's expression and didn't dare to speak.
Fu Qichuan sat in his office chair, looking up from his papers. His eyes, as silent as a cold pond, swept over the man. His voice was cold and deep, "When is she going to get the divorce certificate?"
"...Tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock."
Qin Ze's heart trembled. Although he had been with Fu Qichuan for many years, in the past two years, he had become increasingly unsure of his boss's temper.
Fu Qichuan's eyes dimmed slightly, with a hint of self-mockery in them, "Okay, I get it."
Qin Zeyu went out tactfully and closed the door tightly.
Fu Qichuan stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He was enveloped in the afterglow of the setting sun, and was almost swallowed up by the surging emotions in his chest.
He didn't want to let her go so easily.
That night in the hotel, his instinct would not allow her to break free from his hand.
But in the past two years, he has often thought about what she said over and over again.
Perhaps, he just didn't respect her enough.
I have never communicated with her properly and cared about her thoughts.
She allowed many misunderstandings and estrangements to arise between them, leaving her hurt all over.
He will change.
He is changing it.
…
The next day, to my surprise, I arrived ten minutes early and Fu Qichuan was already waiting at the door.
The man had superior facial features and was wearing a suit I had tailored for him three years ago. The style was still timeless and made his posture look even more upright.
Even though I no longer have those past feelings for him, looking at his face again, I still can't say anything bad about him.
His dark eyes stared at me, watching me approach step by step, "Come on."
"Um."
This time, the divorce certificate was issued in the lobby.
I saw with my own eyes the steel stamp pressed onto the little red booklet.
The five-year marriage ended at this moment.
I took it from the staff member and handed the one that belonged to Fu Qichuan to him. "Thank you."
He looked at me and said calmly, "What are you thanking me for?"
"I originally thought that this divorce certificate would be difficult to obtain."
He was quite frank and said, "If it was in the past, it would have happened."
I looked at him with some surprise, "You... have grown quite big."
His eyes were gentle, "Isn't it less annoying now?"
"Indeed."
I smiled and shook the divorce certificate, "Fu Qichuan, happy divorce."
He smiled faintly, but his eyes were filled with sadness. After just a moment, he regained his composure and said in a cold voice, "Where have you been these past two years?"
"Country F."
I'm not hiding anything.
He didn't ask any more questions and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with me.
The summer heat hits instantly.
I tilted my head to look at him. "It might take a while before I have time to make your suit. Besides, my fees are quite high right now."
He doesn't mind the money, but I'd better make it clear.
The corners of his eyes curved, "It's all right, I have money."
“…”
I was speechless. After all, he was right, so I could only nod and say, "Okay, then I'll... cut it off first. I'll have it delivered to the old house when it's done."
…
When I returned to Nancy, there was already someone sitting in the office.
Lu Shiyan looked at me with a helpless look on his face. "Why did you run back to China without saying a word? If I hadn't spoken to Dave, I wouldn't have known you were back."
"Isn't this because your circle of friends is on a business trip abroad?"
I smiled and said, "I thought I'd tell you when you return home."
Just as I finished speaking, Jiang Lai came in briskly in her high heels and raised an eyebrow at me, "Did you get it successfully this time?"
I nodded, "I got it."
"Is it real or fake?"
Jiang Lai didn't believe it, "Let me see it quickly."
I told her last night that I would go get a divorce certificate from Fu Qichuan tomorrow.
She didn't believe it either.
It's likely that something strange will happen.
I handed her the divorce certificate and said, "Look, it's genuine."
Last time, I had no experience, so I was deceived by Fu Qichuan's fake certificate.
Jiang Lai's eyebrows were filled with joy. "Finally, we got a divorce."
Lu Shiyan was a little surprised, "Are you and Qi Chuan divorced completely?"
"Well, it's just left."
"Then, I'll treat you guys to a meal tomorrow."
Lu Shiyan chuckled, "First, to welcome you back home, and second, to celebrate your divorce."
"atmosphere!"
Jiang Lai gave him a thumbs up and said, "Can I give you a big meal?"
"Kill them at will."
“…”
I was at a loss for words and just let them do whatever they wanted.
After Lin Nian’s last experience as a lesson, I will no longer leave important design drafts in the office.
Before leaving get off work, I put away my drawing board and left the company with the two of them.
Dinner was at Jiang Lai's table.
This is a well-known private restaurant in Jiangcheng, specializing in authentic local cuisine.
The environment is elegant.
While Lu Shiyan was pouring juice for us, he casually asked, "Nanzhi, how long do you plan to stay in China this time?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be fine."
Country F is good, but I always feel like I am adrift and have no sense of security.
Lu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "When will you decide?"
"I've always had this thought. Originally, I never thought about settling in Country F..."
As we were talking, the waiter pushed the door open and brought the dishes. I subconsciously looked towards the door and saw a bodyguard in black pushing a wheelchair passing by.
This time, there were no other bodyguards to block his view.
One can recognize at a glance that the person sitting in the wheelchair is Zhou Fang.
I stood up and ran out, looking around in the direction he passed, but there was no one there.
I stood in the middle of the corridor, stunned for a long time, looking at the waiters passing by, as if the glance just now was just an illusion of mine.
Suddenly, the door of a box behind me opened.
Standing inside was the woman who opened the door for me at Jiangcheng No. 1 that day. The door was half-open, and she leaned against the other half. "Are you looking for Zhou Fang?"
The possibility that Jiang Lai mentioned that day came to my mind.
For a moment, I didn't know how to respond.
But I also want to know Zhou Fang's current situation.
I squeezed my palms, afraid of causing misunderstandings between them, and spoke as calmly as possible: "Yes, I'm just an ordinary friend of his. Is he in there?"
"Zhou Fang,"
Unexpectedly, the woman pushed the door open, turned around coquettishly, looked at the man sitting in the main seat, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Your ordinary friend is looking for you."
