Chapter 21 You Don’t Really Want a Divorce



On second thought, I found it ridiculous.

It was me who was left alone on our wedding night, it was me whose husband was absent on several wedding anniversaries, it was me whose longed-for gift was given to someone else, it was me whose husband even went to accompany someone else on my prenatal checkup day...

Now that we've reached the point of divorce, he can't accept a friend throwing me a house-warming party.

I curled my lips and looked down at him, "If you don't leave, I'll call Fu Jinan."

When Fu Jinan came to make trouble with him, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Fu Qichuan suddenly hugged my waist tightly, resting his forehead on my chest, his voice hoarse, "Nanzhi, I never thought it would become like this, really."

When he does this, I really can't help but feel soft-hearted.

Just as he was about to speak, the cell phone he had placed on the dining table rang.

The caller ID clearly showed 'Fu Jinan'.

It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over my head, giving me a start. I woke up instantly and reached out to push him away. "You called."

Coincidentally, Lu Shiyan came out of the kitchen.

"Nanzhi, everything is almost packed. I'll send He Tingqi off first."

"I'll take you down."

I glanced at the tall figure answering the phone on the balcony and suppressed the inexplicable irritation.

After getting Jiang Lai into the bedroom, I helped Lu Shiyan support the unconscious He Ting downstairs.

However, Lu Shiyan did not let me bear the force.

His brows were soft, and his handsome face was tinged with a gentle warmth. "Nanzhi, are you still young?"

"Um?"

I was stunned for a moment, then he came over and saw that I was in a bad mood, and shook his head, "Still young."

In the elevator, I remembered that he had also drunk some wine.

"Senior, have you called a designated driver? If not, I'll call one for you."

"Don't worry, I called."

He smiled, and after a moment's silence, before the elevator door opened, he asked, "Are you and Qi Chuan getting a divorce?"

I lowered my eyelashes and nodded, "Yes, we are leaving."

"Think it over carefully and don't let yourself regret it in the future." He advised gently.

“No regrets.”

I answered seriously.

In the days since I filed for divorce, I've repeatedly asked myself whether I regret it.

The answer is no.

Lu Shiyan nodded thoughtfully, "Then."

"Senior,"

The elevator door opened, and as I walked toward the parking lot, I pondered, "How do you know what kind of food I like?"

Although he and I were not familiar with each other before, I don't remember that we had ever had a private meal together.

"I treated you to dinner several times in college, have you forgotten?" He chuckled.

"ah?"

I was stunned for a moment, then I remembered, "Was it that time when I fainted from hypoglycemia that Qi Chuan asked you to buy me food?"

If this matter had been brought up during my school days, I might have been a little sensitive and inferior.

But now, time has passed and I have gained some ability to talk about that past with openness and gratitude.

"Qichuan?"

He asked subconsciously, then smiled generously, "Yeah, that was the time I discovered you had a particular taste for meat."

"You are careful."

I smiled.

When I think about it now, it is indeed delicious. Whenever it was Lu Shiyan's turn to bring me food, it was always a dish that went well with rice.

There are probably very few men who are so attentive.

I looked at Lu Shiyan gratefully, "Senior, thank you so much."

At that time, I didn't have any choice. Even if I had money, I could only order the cheapest dishes. I didn't care whether they suited my taste or not.

But because of Lu Shiyan's upbringing and attentiveness, I was able to eat a meal that suited my taste even when I was most embarrassed.

"You really want to thank me?"

Walking to the car, Lu Shiyan pushed He Ting into the back seat, leaned against the car body, lowered his eyes and looked at me with a smile.

I nodded, "Of course."

"Then promise me that you won't keep saying 'thank you' to me."

I sensed something unusual in these words, but before I could think about it, he smiled and added, "That seems too awkward."

I chuckled, "I understand."

Just as his designated driver arrived, he handed the car keys to him and said warmly, "I'm leaving now. You can get in now."

When I went upstairs, the living room was empty.

Fu Qichuan is not...

My heart felt empty for a moment.

But only for a moment.

Leaving without saying a word has always been his style.

I guess something urgent happened to Fu Jinan again.

I walked into the bedroom and patted Jiang Lai gently, "Lai Lai, wake up. I'll change your pajamas so you can sleep more comfortably."

"Hmm."

Jiang Lai narrowed her eyes slightly, and when she saw it was me, she raised her hands and hugged me coquettishly, letting me take off her shirt, muttering, "My love Ruan Ruan, my love Ruan Ruan, no one is allowed to bully you..."

"Isn't that stupid?"

I couldn't help laughing.

The next day, when I woke up, Jiang Lai was no longer in bed.

There was a faint rustling sound coming from the living room.

I walked to the door of the room sleepily and took a look. It was Jiang Lai practicing yoga.

Glancing at me getting up, she kept her posture unchanged, slightly raised her chin, and said cockily, "Am I beautiful?"

"Beautiful, you are the most beautiful."

I couldn't help laughing.

She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. You will be amazed at the first sight and exclaim how beautiful she is.

Wearing yoga clothes, she has a perfect figure with a curvy figure.

Jiang Lai nodded with satisfaction, "My Ruan Ruan has good taste."

I smiled and went into the bathroom to wash up.

While I was putting on makeup, Jiang Lai finished her yoga session and ran in, staring at my empty ears. "Where are those earrings from last night?"

"In the drawer."

I was drawing my eyebrows and just pointed out the location to her.

She took it out and put it on my ear, saying confidently, "This ruby really suits your temperament."

"What's my temperament?" I asked casually with a smile.

"Hmm... calm and confident, gentle and generous."

I stared at her slightly upturned fox eyes and clicked my tongue twice, "When you praise me like this, I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you."

"If it can help you escape from Fu Qichuan's trap, I'm not averse to being a T for love." She said with a smile.

"That's not the case yet."

I couldn't help but laugh out loud. When I raised my hand to take off the earrings, she stopped me with a look of delight on her face. "Don't take them off. They're so beautiful when you wear them!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Anyway, when I let my hair down, it was blocked.

No other options, it's too expensive and I'm afraid someone will snatch it away.

After arriving at the company, Jiang Lai and I left the elevator and went straight to the design department to work.

Unexpectedly, before the computer could be turned on, an uninvited guest pushed the door open and walked in.

In the entire design department, no, in the entire company, the only one with such low quality is Fu Jinan.

"Did Ah Chuan stay with you last night?"

"?"

I leaned back in my chair and looked at her in confusion. "You know better than me where he went last night."

Wasn't she the one who called him away?

"Stop pretending, Ruan Nanzhi, you don't really want a divorce."

Fu Jinan closed the door, his expression still gentle, his eyes filled with poison. "Don't you know why Ah Chuan married you? Do you think he really listens to Grandpa?"
