I was stunned for a moment and took a look into the bag. There were two exquisite velvet boxes.
Inside is the jade pendant that grandpa prepared for the child.
A sharp pain shot through my heart, and I said coldly, "This was given to the child by grandpa. Now that the child is gone, I should return it to you."
He glared at me and said, "Grandpa gave it to you. If you want to return it, go and return it to Grandpa."
“…”
I found that he was unreasonable and it was really hard to explain him to anyone.
I pursed my lips and said, "Fu Qichuan, I can accept other things, but this is too expensive."
He blurted out, “It’s for you, not for outsiders.”
I couldn't help but clench my palms, suppressing the strange feeling in my heart, and trying to stay rational. "All we need between us is a divorce certificate. It's better to make some clear distinctions."
"Separate?"
The corners of Fu Qichuan's cold eyes were slightly raised, and he looked at me leisurely.
I panicked for a moment for no apparent reason, "Yes."
"How can we tell the difference?"
He leaned against the sofa, his tall figure slender, and spoke nonchalantly, "You've been married to me for three years, and you've seen me from head to toe. You've taken advantage of me so much. Who knows if you've ever secretly taken photos of me? I haven't even come to terms with you, and you still want to make peace with me?"
…
This guy is real.
I glared at him in embarrassment and gritted my teeth, "What's the point of settling scores? Did you suffer a loss?"
"You look at me more often." He complained.
“…”
I was speechless. "Where's the evidence?"
"Now I'll let you see it again."
As he spoke casually, his slender fingers landed on the second obsidian button on the top of his shirt. His movements were very slow and methodical, which was pleasing to the eye.
I blushed at first, but then I saw through his tactics and sneered, "Take it off! If you have something to do, take it off all day long."
As soon as I finished speaking, I pulled the curtains open completely and said, "Take it off, let everyone see your eight-pack abs and mermaid line."
"oh."
I thought he was going to explode, but he curled his lips playfully and said in a gentle voice, "Listen to my wife."
The fingertips didn't stop moving at all.
One, two, three...
He took off his shirt directly.
Broad shoulders and narrow waist form a standard inverted triangle, revealing a large area of smooth and firm chest muscles, and further down you can vaguely see the distinct mermaid line!
"Do you want to take it off again?"
He looked at me and spoke casually, his fingers gripping the belt buckle, as if he wouldn't mind taking it off completely as long as I nodded.
I looked at him in despair, pulled the curtains shut, and gritted my teeth, "Fu Qichuan! Are you sick? An exhibitionist?"
"Didn't you ask me to take it off?"
He asked the question even though he knew the answer, seeming somewhat innocent.
I rolled my eyes, picked up the black shirt and threw it at him, "Why do you do whatever I tell you to do?"
"right."
Hearing this incredibly accurate answer, my heart skipped a beat. "Really?"
He stared at me with dark eyes, "Yeah."
"That's what you said."
I thought about it and looked at him. "I have never mentioned to you my grandfather's last wish before he died. He said that Fu Jinan should not be allowed to enter the Fu family. Can you do it?"
"You want me to agree to this?"
"Can't you do it?"
My heart sank a little bit.
His feelings for Fu Jinan were truly deep. Even if it was his grandfather's last wish, he was willing to go against it for Fu Jinan.
He frowned slightly, and seemed to laugh out of anger, "I've told you many times that I no longer have the feelings for her that you think. Didn't you listen at all? How could I possibly marry her? Ruan Nanzhi, are you a pig? The person I like now is not her!"
"If it's not her, could it be me?"
I met his gaze without flinching and asked word by word.
It would be a lie to say there were no expectations.
I can hide it from anyone, but I can't deceive my own heart. I just haven't let it go.
Although I know clearly that there is no possibility for him and I to continue, I still hope that he has liked me for a while over the years, even if it was just a very brief moment.
Eight years, how many eight years are there in a lifetime?
His dark eyes were like a whirlpool, as if to suck people in, and his voice was full of bewitching power, "If I say yes, we won't get divorced, okay?"
I was stunned for a long time, trying my best to look at him clearly and shake my head.
"Fu Qichuan, if you've ever liked me, that only proves that my love for you over the years wasn't completely one-sided, and I was actually somewhat willing to accept it. But this... isn't a reason for us to continue."
"So many years?"
"Yes, all these years."
I suddenly felt like laying this relationship bare, no longer hiding it, and said with a smile, "Eight years, Fu Qichuan. I've liked you since college, for eight years."
If you tell it all, you may not have any regrets anymore.
Tell him openly that I liked him, there is no shame in that.
“How could it be…”
Fu Qichuan's eyes showed astonishment, surprise, joy, and suspicion: "Didn't you like Lu Shiyan in college?"
I took a deep breath to suppress the bitterness in my heart. "Who told you that? Or do you think that love exists between boys and girls who get along well with each other?"
"That……"
"Forgot? Didn't you wish me a happy eighth anniversary a while ago?"
I forced a smile, not a particularly pretty one, and muttered to myself, "That day, the moment I woke up and saw you in the school hospital, I fell in love with you. Thank you for getting me to the hospital on time, and thank you for going out of your way to treat me to so many meals."
"you……"
Fu Qichuan avoided my gaze, his body swayed, his throat tight, "You like me just because of this...?"
For some reason, I seemed to see panic in him.
I squeezed my palms and pretended to be relaxed. "Maybe, this was just a piece of cake for you, and you've long forgotten it. But to me at that time, it was all light... Fu Qichuan, no matter what, I was very grateful to you."
I'll tell you everything. In a few days, I'll start a new life.
The past is all wiped out.
I also... don't owe him anything anymore!
He suddenly took out a cigarette box, put a cigarette in his mouth, lowered his head and lit it. This action was performed by him with extraordinary dignity and elegance.
After a few puffs of smoke, his expression became increasingly gloomy.
He inhaled more and more urgently, and was choked. For the first time in his life, he looked at me with a somewhat embarrassed look, "Ruwu, Ruwu, it wasn't me who took you to the school hospital that day..."
He coughed a few times, his eyes were red, and his voice seemed to be polished by sandpaper. "Will you still like me?"
