After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhi Qiu sat there blankly, motionless like a statue.
"Zhi Qiu." Zhou Xiaoran gently pushed her with some concern, "Why don't I go back with you?"
"No need." Shen Zhi Qiu forced a smile, but it looked worse than crying. "Xiao Ran, why don't you stay here for the night? It'll be too tiring to go home. I'll be fine, don't worry."
Zhou Xiaoran wanted to say something, but Shen Zhi Qiu stopped her, "Xiaoran, I have to face this broken marriage on my own. Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself."
Zhou Xiaoran nodded, watching Shen Zhi Qiu hurriedly leave with her bag.
As soon as she arrived downstairs at the hotel, Shen Zhi Qiu saw the familiar Maybach, with Butler Chen standing beside it, looking towards the hotel entrance.
Uncle Chen waved to Shen Zhi Qiu.
Not wanting to keep Uncle Chen waiting too long, she quickly walked over.
Knowing what Shen Zhi Qiu was going to ask, Uncle Chen smiled and spoke first: "Young Master asked me to pick you up."
Shen Zhi Qiu's face darkened. She didn't bother asking how he knew where she was; Gu Qing Yan could easily find out if he wanted to. Calculating the time it took to get there from the Gu family, Shen Zhi Qiu realized that Gu Qing Yan had already sent Uncle Chen before making the call. Therefore, his call was determined to succeed.
Ha, what a scoundrel! He'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
The car quickly stopped in front of the Gu family villa.
Shen Zhi Qiu didn't say a word, opened the car door and strode upstairs.
She pushed open the door to the room, where Gu Qingyan was leaning against the headboard, leisurely holding a book. Upon seeing Shen Zhi Qiu, he immediately spoke with a sarcastic remark: "Mrs. Gu has finally returned."
"Gu Qingyan, how come I never realized you were so cunning? Using something like this to threaten me, you're really something else." Shen Zhi Qiu suppressed her anger and turned her head away in disgust. "Are you so eager to call me back because you're afraid I'll change my mind and not want a divorce?"
Gu Qingyan's smug smile vanished instantly, and she scolded him with a stern face, "Shen Zhi Qiu, don't you have anything else to say to me? All you ever talk about is divorce? Didn't anyone teach you not to bring up divorce all the time?"
"You agreed to the divorce during breakfast time, have you forgotten?" Shen Zhi Qiu put down her bag, crossed her arms, and looked at him coldly.
"That was just said in anger. You didn't give me any face in front of outsiders, so I said that." Gu Qingyan glared at her resentfully, but unusually, she didn't lose her temper and even softened her tone to explain.
Shen Zhi Qiu was somewhat surprised, but thinking of Xiao Wan Qing's belly, her face instantly turned cold. "But I'm serious."
"You really want a divorce?" Gu Qingyan felt a surge of anger when he saw that she still insisted on divorce. He slammed the book on the bedside table, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
"Gu Qingyan, didn't you also want a divorce? It's just that I brought it up, which hurt your pride, so you reacted this way." Shen Zhi Qiu thought for a second and blurted out, "How about this, just pretend I never said anything about divorce, and you bring it up, and tell everyone that you don't want me anymore, is that alright?"
With a cold snort, Gu Qingyan stood up, picked up a bag from the corner table of the room, and threw it directly at Shen Zhi Qiu's feet. "If you want to divorce me, what is this?"
Shen Zhi Qiu frowned, bent down to pick up the bag, and opened the outer packaging. Inside were several doses of traditional Chinese medicine. The outer packaging prominently displayed a label that read, "Fertility-Boosting Formula, for Women, Helps in conceiving a Male Fetus." Shen Zhi Qiu's face flushed red instantly, her fingers clenched into fists, her anger simmering in her chest. She had clearly told Shen Yan Shan not to reveal what it was, yet he had gone and labeled it so openly, as if afraid no one would know.
Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu's expression, Gu Qing Yan was certain that she knew something. He sneered, "Your dad had it delivered today. You weren't home, so I accepted it. I was curious, since it's rare for your dad to send you things. When I opened it, I saw, Shen Zhi Qiu, you're really good at pretending. You want a divorce, but you also want to have a child with me! You still say you're not just being silly? Isn't it just because I haven't spent much time with you lately that you're throwing a tantrum?"
Seeing that she didn't refute, Gu Qingyan's tone softened a bit, "It's normal for girls to throw tantrums. What do you want lately? Jewelry, clothes, bags, you can pick whatever you want. The black card is in your hands, you can buy whatever you want without any worries."
Shen Zhi Qiu clutched the medicine tightly in her hand, feeling powerless to explain herself. At this moment, anything she said would seem like an attempt to cover up the truth or a coy refusal.
Moreover, she was indeed afraid of upsetting Gu Qingyan, who would then threaten her by calling Shen Yanshan to forbid her from getting a divorce.
She sighed and said with a hint of helplessness, "Gu Qingyan, what exactly do you want from me?"
"Don't bring up divorce again. I'll say it once more: I will absolutely not get a divorce," Gu Qingyan said resolutely, her face ashen.
“Okay, but I have a condition,” Shen Zhi Qiu said calmly after thinking for a moment.
"Tell me about it." Gu Qingyan's expression softened, and he raised an eyebrow.
“Then you should make Xiao Wanqing move out. I find her annoying.” Shen Zhi Qiu said while observing Gu Qing Yan’s attitude. She was certain that he would not agree.
“That’s impossible. Wanqing is just staying at our house temporarily; it won’t affect you. Why are you being so petty? Wanqing always praises you to me, saying you’re well-mannered, gentle, and elegant. She’s only staying for a month; it’s not like she’s staying permanently.” Gu Qingyan directly refused, “Find someone else.”
"Then I have nothing to talk to you about." Shen Zhi Qiu's face darkened, and she didn't want to say another word. She took her pajamas from the closet and walked towards the bathroom.
After showering, only the bedside lamp cast a soft glow in the room. Gu Qingyan was no longer in bed.
