That morning, Shen Zhi Qiu got up early. Perhaps it was because the weight in her heart was finally lifted, she felt an unprecedented sense of relief, and she even dressed up carefully.
When she opened the door, she found that Lu Jia had been waiting at the bottom of the stairs for a long time.
Hearing the sound of the door lock turning, Lu Jia looked up at Shen Zhi Qiu and couldn't help but light up.
Shen Zhi Qiu curled the ends of her black hair into a wave, applied a light blush to her already fair skin, and put on a touch of shimmering lip gloss. After admiring herself in the mirror for a while, she changed into the light blue dress that Lu Jia had bought for her. The light blue dress was simply adorned with some small white flowers, making it elegant and understated.
Shen Zhi Qiu smiled with satisfaction.
"Let's go!" Shen Zhi Qiu walked to the top of the stairs, naturally took Lu Jia's arm, and said with a smile.
Lu Jia smiled, reached out and gently tucked the stray hairs from Shen Zhi Qiu's cheek behind her ear, then helped her down the steps.
The two were chatting and laughing as they were about to walk towards the door when they turned around and saw Rong Mo sitting in the living room drinking coffee.
Seeing them come down, Rong Mo stood up.
Glancing at the two of them both dressed in blue, Rong Mo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and smile with some surprise, "So high-profile? Wearing matching outfits?"
Shen Zhi Qiu lowered her head and smiled, pursing her lips. "Brother, it just so happens that we were both wearing blue. It wasn't a couple's outfit we wore on purpose."
"Oh?" Rong Mo curled the corner of his lips. "So that's what you call tacit understanding?"
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Let's go." Rong Mo said, then walked forward.
"Are you coming with us?" Shen Zhi Qiu asked, somewhat surprised. "Brother, don't you have to go to the company today?"
“Today is a day of great celebration for everyone, and I have to be there to witness it.” Rong Mo turned to Shen Zhi Qiu and smiled. “Let’s go, Lu Jia, don’t drive. Take my car. After we finish our business, we’ll go out for a meal to celebrate.”
Stepping outside, it was drizzling, the sky overcast.
Lu Jia took an umbrella from the entrance hall. Listening to the pattering rain falling on the umbrella, Shen Zhi Qiu couldn't help but feel that the raindrops were dancing.
That's great, from today onwards, everything is a new beginning.
Half an hour later, the car came to a smooth stop in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Through the car window, Rong Mo glanced at the door and, to his surprise, did not see Gu Qingyan. He couldn't help but frown.
"Where is he?" Rong Mo took out his phone and called Wei Qiao.
"President Rong, Gu Qingyan really doesn't want to come. I..." Wei Qiao stammered.
"Are Gu's parents present?" Rong Mo asked coldly, his face darkening.
Shen Zhi Qiu roughly guessed what had happened, turned to look at him, and began to feel a little worried.
Lu Jia gently took her hand, signaling her not to rush.
"No. It's still early, they haven't arrived yet," Wei Qiao replied quickly, wiping his sweat.
"Then tie him up and bring him here." Rong Mo suppressed his anger and ordered Wei Qiao, "I don't need to teach you the specifics of how to do it, do I?"
"Okay, Mr. Rong, I'm so sorry. We'll be there in half an hour."
Rong Mo hung up the phone with a cold face, but the moment he turned around, he put on a gentle smile. He looked at Shen Zhi Qiu and said, "Don't worry, whether he wants a divorce or not, he has to get one today. He has no choice but to agree."
Hearing Rong Mo say this, Shen Zhi Qiu felt relieved, nodded, and then gently rested her head on Lu Jia's shoulder, closing her eyes to rest.
Feeling Lu Jia's even breathing and smelling the faint scent of gardenias on him, Shen Zhi Qiu felt somewhat dazed.
Lu Jia doesn't like using perfume, but she occasionally burns some sandalwood incense in the house, feeling that it can cultivate her mind and make her feel particularly comfortable.
But since that meeting, Shen Zhi Qiu has almost never seen him burn sandalwood incense. Once, Shen Zhi Qiu even asked him about it, and Lu Jia said that he was worried that the smell of sandalwood would upset Shen Zhi Qiu, so he stopped using it.
From then on, Lu Jia not only prepared fresh gardenias in Shen Zhi Qiu's room, but also occasionally prepared some in his own room. Over time, his clothes also began to smell of the fragrance that Shen Zhi Qiu liked.
Smelling the fragrance of her favorite flowers, Shen Zhi Qiu drifted off to sleep.
"Knowing autumn? Knowing autumn? Wake up..."
She didn't know how long she had slept, but when Shen Zhi Qiu woke up again it was already 11:00 a.m.
After Lu Jia saw that she had woken up, he kindly rubbed her shoulders and said gently, "You can go in and complete the formalities now."
"Huh? Gu Qingyan is here?" Shen Zhi Qiu asked, somewhat confused.
"Mm," Lu Jia replied softly. "He's already at the door."
