My heart sank.
The whole person was instantly swept by an indescribable discomfort.
This ring is our wedding ring.
When we got married, although he was not yet a grandfather, he always gave me, his grandson's wife, the best of everything.
A million-dollar betrothal gift, a sky-high priced wedding house, and custom-made wedding rings from a top jewelry designer.
Later, the betrothal gift was given to my aunt in gratitude for raising me.
There is no place for me to stay in the wedding house.
This ring is the only thing that can accompany me every day.
When I first got married, I wore it on my ring finger with great joy. When Fu Qichuan learned that I also worked for Fu Group, he immediately reminded me to be more low-key.
I took it off that day and put a thin necklace on it to wear around my neck.
I wear it for three whole years.
What once brought me joy suddenly became a silent mockery. Like this ring, I was something that Fu Qichuan couldn't bear to see in the light.
I laughed at myself and said, "I forgot to pick it up."
I indeed forgot.
To be more precise, I'm used to it. I'm used to touching this ring when I'm alone or feeling uneasy.
——Fu Qichuan is my husband.
Once upon a time, just the fact that I liked him seemed to give me a lot of strength.
He didn't believe it, "Just forgot?"
"If you want it, it can be returned to its original owner now."
I raised my hand and put it around my neck, trying to take it off.
Little by little, clearing away all traces of him from me.
The faster you clear it, the faster you should be able to let it go.
Fu Qichuan's face turned cold, and he clamped my wrist, interrupting my movements, and said forcefully: "Don't pick it, you are its owner."
"This is a wedding ring, Fu Qichuan."
I curled my lips and earnestly reminded him, and myself at the same time, "Even if I don't pick them today, I will pick them in a month."
Fu Qichuan rubbed the ring on his ring finger with his thumb, with a rare paranoia in his eyes, "What if I never take it off?"
I took a deep breath, "That's your business."
After all, I don't want to think that our marriage has hope again just because of a few words from him.
After saying that, I broke away from him and turned to walk out. "I'll go get Fu Jin'an to apply medicine for you."
"Will you really start a new life?"
Behind him, a man's cold, low, and lonely voice suddenly sounded.
I froze, a thousand thoughts swirling in my mind, but I didn't look back. "Maybe."
I can't give an accurate answer to this question.
Over the years, all my beautiful imaginations of love have been placed on Fu Qichuan, and it is difficult for me to fall in love with anyone else.
Besides, having already suffered a severe fall once, he doesn't seem to have the courage to start a new relationship.
I just want to get away from him, stay away from Fu Qichuan, and live a happy life with my children.
However, life is too long, and no one knows what changes will happen in the future.
More importantly, why is he still involved with Fu Jinan before he gets divorced? I have promised here that I will remain a widow for my ex-husband.
I knew what kind of answer he wanted, but I didn't want to give him what he wanted.
As expected, he sneered, "Someone's chosen? Lu Shiyan?"
I couldn't help but turn around and look at him in anger, subconsciously wanting to retort, but I suppressed it. "Why, you want to be a matchmaker for me? Not impossible. My requirements are very low. Looks, family background, work, height, they don't matter."
Perhaps my eagerness to remarry irritated him, and he lashed out, "Are you so unpicky?"
"But there is one request."
"What?"
"Not a scumbag, not fickle, not cheating on your spouse, not on call for another woman 24 hours a day."
I smiled slightly, "As long as it's not like you, it's fine."
A trace of hurt flashed across his face. "Am I really that bad in your eyes?"
"Not bad. Those who commit domestic violence, take drugs, and gamble are much worse than you."
"...Ruan Nanzhi,"
His face darkened and he was about to speak when someone knocked on the door.
Accompanied by Fu Jinan's clear and beautiful voice, "Achuan, I'm coming in."
Before anyone could respond, the door opened with a click and she walked in.
"Achuan, let me wipe it for you..."
The moment he saw me, his voice stopped abruptly and the smile on his face froze.
I said calmly, "I'll go out first."
"Nanzhi."
Fu Jinan spoke in a seemingly friendly tone, "Even if we're divorced, we should act like we're divorced. Don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid that if someone gets wind of it, it might affect your reputation."
"The government hasn't even issued us a divorce certificate yet, and you're the one announcing our divorce?"
I couldn't help myself and continued nonchalantly, "No matter how bad my reputation is, it's not nearly as bad as yours."
After saying this, I strode away.
Before leaving the room, she heard her speak to Fu Qichuan in a wronged tone, "Achuan, listen to what she said!"
"Who allowed you in?"
But unexpectedly, instead of getting Fu Qichuan's protection, he only received a cold questioning.
Fu Jinan disagreed, "Can't I come into your room? We slept together when we were little!"
…
I lowered my eyes, secretly glad that I had already filed for divorce.
I ignored their flirting and headed towards the study, where Uncle Qi happened to come towards me.
"Young Madam, you're not in a hurry, are you? The old man wants to see you."
"Tuo."
Even if Uncle Qi doesn't come, I will still go to see Grandpa.
Grandpa’s face wasn’t as ugly as I imagined.
Seeing me come in, grandpa waved to me and said affectionately, "Girl, come and sit."
In my memory, my father treated me like this.
My eyes warmed up and I sat over. "Grandpa, are you feeling okay?"
Fu Qichuan was beaten like that, which showed that Grandpa was very angry.
Grandpa poured me a cup of tea himself, his mustache twitching. "No, very bad. I just wanted to teach him a lesson for you, and to make that Fu Jinan realize his mistake."
"I'm sorry to have made you worry about me again."
I took the tea and smiled, "I thought you would be angry with me."
Grandpa laughed, "What did you do wrong?"
"I kept it from you..."
"Qi Chuan may not understand you, but doesn't grandpa understand you? You are really soft-hearted. Even rabbits will bite when they are cornered, let alone a living person?" Grandpa said earnestly.
I suddenly wanted to cry.
I've been staying at home these past few days, distracting myself, and my emotions seem to be under control. But now, as soon as my grandfather comforts me, the string in my heart breaks instantly.
Grandpa patted the back of my hand and said, "Silly girl, do you blame me?"
"How could I blame you!"
I shook my head vigorously, then suddenly thought of something. "Oh, right, there's something I can't figure out, and I want to ask you."
"you say."
Grandpa picked up the teacup and took a sip.
I hesitated and asked what I had wanted to ask for a long time, "Since you don't want Qi Chuan and Fu Jin'an to be together, why..."
"Why don't you tell Qi Chuan what Wen Fang did?"
Grandpa understood what I was saying, "You mean, if he had known about this earlier, I wouldn't have had such a headache, right?"
