When Shen Zhi Qiu woke up, she found that Rong Mo was no longer in the car. She rubbed her eyes and asked in confusion, "Where's my brother? I don't see him."
“He just received a call from the company saying there was a very urgent situation that required him to go back in person, so he left first. But before he left, he asked me to tell you that he will go directly to the restaurant to meet us in a little while.”
Lu Jia smiled as he tidied up Shen Zhi Qiu's slightly messy hair. His fingers just touched Shen Zhi Qiu's warm face, and a jolt of electricity ran through his heart.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Jia first opened the car door and got out, then carefully helped Shen Zhi Qiu out.
As Shen Zhi Qiu got out of the car, she looked up and saw Gu Qing Yan standing at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau with a stern face, flanked by two bodyguards on each side.
Wei Qiao was also there. When he saw Shen Zhi Qiu appear at the gate, he quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Hello, Miss Shen. President Rong ordered me to come and help you complete the divorce procedures. Please feel free to ask me to do anything you need."
Shen Zhi Qiu smiled and nodded, then turned to Lu Jia and said, "Then you can wait for me outside. It might not be convenient to go in. Wei Qiao will come with me to complete the formalities and then we'll come out. Don't worry."
Lu Jia glanced at Gu Qingyan from afar, and just then, Gu Qingyan glared at him with an unfriendly look.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside. Give me a call if anything happens, and I'll be right there."
Lu Jia nodded, stood aside, and smiled gently, inviting her to go in first.
As she passed Gu Qingyan, Shen Zhi Qiu looked up at him and calmly said, "Let's go."
His tone was so flat that it sounded like he was talking about something completely ordinary, without any inflection.
Gu Qingyan frowned, but didn't move.
Sensing Gu Qingyan's resistance, Shen Zhi Qiu turned around and coldly mocked, "What? Is President Gu going to be a lapdog?"
"Shen Zhi Qiu!" Gu Qing Yan glared at her through gritted teeth. "Where did you learn all this nonsense?! I'm your husband! How dare you talk to me like that?!"
"Oh." Shen Zhi Qiu glanced at him. "You need to remember your identity: ex-husband."
"As long as we haven't gone through the formalities, I'm still your husband!" Gu Qingyan lowered her voice, feeling somewhat ashamed.
"I don't want to argue with you here, Gu Qingyan." Shen Zhi Qiu was a little irritated, and her voice unconsciously rose, her face full of disgust. "We came here today to get a divorce, so stop dawdling around. We're going to get a divorce sooner or later! What's the point?!"
"Would it be easier for you to be with Lu Jia if you got divorced?" Gu Qingyan glanced at Lu Jia not far away, his anger burning uncontrollably.
"You're insane!" Shen Zhi Qiu was so angry that she felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't help but cover her chest with her hand. "You're still spouting this nonsense to me! Have you even realized your mistake?"
Seeing that Gu Qingyan remained silent, Shen Zhi Qiu continued:
"What? So, Mr. Gu, who's always been so high and mighty, only said he knew he was wrong, but he never really realized his mistakes. Someone like you can't truly reflect on yourself!"
Shen Zhi Qiu sneered. Seeing that Gu Qing Yan was about to retort, she simply put on a completely cold face. "Shut up! I'm here today to get a divorce. I don't want you to apologize, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to see you again!"
Seeing that Shen Zhi Qiu was quite angry, Wei Qiao frowned and gave a wink to the bodyguard next to her. The bodyguard immediately stepped forward and said to Gu Qing Yan, "President Gu, please. Don't keep pestering us. It's not good to make a fool of yourself in front of everyone. Let's finish the formalities as soon as possible so we can leave and avoid upsetting President Gu."
Gu Qingyan's face darkened further. He looked at Shen Zhi Qiu, sighed, and softened his tone, "Zhi Qiu, I'm not here to argue with you."
"Hmm, good to know, you're here to get a divorce!" Wei Qiao glared at Gu Qingyan, adding insult to injury.
Gu Qingyan's face darkened.
His face was tense, and he wished he could go back to Nancheng immediately. He was really fed up with being suppressed by the Rong family in the capital.
"Gu Qingyan, I'm begging you, please let me go." Shen Zhi Qiu sighed deeply, and couldn't help but press her temples, her head aching.
"Let you go?" Gu Qingyan murmured in disbelief, "Zhi Qiu, do you remember? When we got married..."
“I don’t remember.” Shen Zhi Qiu gave a bleak smile. “And I don’t want to remember. Being with you is too tiring, and I’ve had enough. I promised Mom and Dad that I wouldn’t take away your right to see the children, and that’s the biggest concession I can make.”
Gu Qingyan's lips twitched. He looked into Shen Zhi Qiu's eyes, and his own eyes welled up with tears. He clenched his sleeves tightly, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and gave a bitter smile. "Since you insist, I agree."
After saying that, he gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his mouth, and even his usually cold voice was a little hoarse at this moment.
Shen Zhi Qiu was somewhat surprised, but she seized the opportunity and quickly walked inside. If she weren't pregnant, she probably would have run.
Wei Qiao's expression changed, fearing that Shen Zhi Qiu might bump into something, and he quickly followed.
A short while later.
Shen Zhi Qiu appeared at the door, her face beaming with a bright smile, even her eyes sparkling. She eagerly stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and headed towards her car, where Lu Jia was waiting for her with a smile.
Gu Qingyan followed behind him dejectedly, watching Shen Zhi Qiu get further and further away from him, and the pain in his heart spread little by little.
With a single glance from Wei Qiao, the bodyguards immediately followed Shen Zhi Qiu. No one paid any more attention to Gu Qing Yan; after all, the divorce was over, so there was no need to care about him anymore.
Lu Jia was immersed in blissful joy, completely unaware of the commotion behind her. In the blink of an eye, a black car ran a red light, crossed the zebra crossing, and accelerated toward Lu Jia.
