Chapter 570: Things Are Different
The previous few times when divorce was mentioned, Fu Shanzhan would immediately lose his temper and then refuse to let go. Qiao Yunxue thought she would waste some time arguing with him today, but unexpectedly he agreed immediately. Perhaps it was because the two had been separated for a while, and he had calmed down.
This is good. Distance not only creates beauty, but also gives people space for independent thinking.
"Okay, I'll prepare it in the next few days and contact you when I'm ready." Qiao Yunxue said.
"Let's have dinner together." Fu Shanzhan glanced at his phone.
"No, I don't have much of an appetite." Qiao Yunxue refused without even thinking, "I'll go back to the confinement center first."
Fu Shanzhan: "Then I'll take you there."
Qiao Yunxue originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that he hadn't seen his child for a while, so he agreed.
She followed Fu Shanzhan and got into the car with him. She sat in the passenger seat as usual. After fastening her seat belt, she realized - forget it, it would be too deliberate to get out of the car and sit in the back seat at this time. They haven't divorced yet, and they haven't torn their relationship apart, so there's no need for that.
Fu Shanzhan glanced sideways and confirmed that Qiao Yunxue had fastened her seat belt before starting the car.
There were many people in the university town, so he was not driving very fast. Qiao Yunxue sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window. There were many young couples on the road nearby. When she saw them, she would think of the time when she was in love with Fu Shanzhan two years ago.
"Is the child's name okay?" Fu Shanzhan suddenly asked, bringing Qiao Yunxue's thoughts back to reality.
Qiao Yunxue turned her head and looked at him. Her heart tightened when she thought of the child's name.
She took a breath and tried to remain calm: "Okay, once the formalities are completed, you can go and register her household registration."
Fu Shanzhan understood the implicit meaning of her words.
The light at the intersection ahead was red. Fu Shanzhan stepped on the brakes and turned to look at the passenger seat. "Have you thought clearly about the child's matter?"
Qiao Yunxue nodded and said, "I can't take her with me."
Fu Shanzhan: "Will you be reluctant to let go?"
Qiao Yunxue: "She's better off at the Fu family."
Although she was reluctant, she really did not have the ability to balance her studies and take good care of the child at the same time. She also did not want her parents to bring the child back to Jiangcheng to raise him. Although they said they could move to Beicheng, that meant they would have to completely give up their original life and social circle in order to take care of her and the child.
After much thought, it is best for the child to stay in the Fu family.
After these two sentences were said, the red light turned green.
Fu Shanzhan started the car, drove past the intersection, and asked again: "Will you come to see her?"
"Yes." Qiao Yunxue wanted to tell him that it was her child and she was reluctant to let it go, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
Fu Shanzhan fell silent after hearing this answer. Qiao Yunxue's phone rang at that moment. She lowered her head and saw that it was a call from Lu Ye. She knew without thinking that he was asking about her interview.
Qiao Yunxue glanced at Fu Shanzhan out of the corner of her eye, hung up the phone, and sent a WeChat message to Lu Ye.
Fu Shanzhan has always been bothered by Lu Ye's presence, and answering Lu Ye's call in front of him at this time would inevitably cause complications.
Qiao Yunxue had just replied to the WeChat message and hadn't put down her phone yet when she suddenly heard Fu Shanzhan's voice again.
"Why don't you answer it? You're about to get divorced, and you're still afraid that I'll hear it?" His voice sounded like a joke at first, but the smile on his face was uglier than crying.
Qiao Yunxue's fingers froze.
So, Fu Shanzhan just saw the caller ID.
"There's nothing going on between Lu Ye and me, believe it or not." Qiao Yunxue explained calmly.
She had said this countless times before and she was tired of it, but Fu Shanzhan just didn't believe her. Even when they were about to divorce, he still felt that there was something wrong between her and Lu Ye.
"I didn't say I didn't believe it." Fu Shanzhan pulled the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, "You may not be interested in him, but he may not be interested in you."
Qiao Yunxue didn't know how to respond.
Fu Shanzhan: "Will you be with him after the divorce?"
When asking this question, he was still pretending to be relaxed, but his hands were already gripping the steering wheel, and his palms were sweaty.
If she answered yes—
"Right now, I just want to finish my graduate studies and develop my career while I'm still young," Qiao Yunxue said. "I'm not considering anything else."
Fu Shanzhan carefully pondered Qiao Yunxue's words, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, reluctantly returned to his stomach.
She said she didn't consider anything else, which meant that what Fu Qingyun had analyzed for him before was reliable.
…
The car drove for more than an hour. Qiao Yunxue and Fu Shanzhan didn't say much on the way. Basically, Fu Shanzhan asked a question and Qiao Yunxue answered it. After a few rounds, the topic ended.
Although there was no quarrel between the two people, they felt much more distant from each other. This feeling was unfamiliar to both of them.
Qiao Yunxue's mood was very complicated. She didn't feel tired because they didn't quarrel, but she also felt powerless because things and people had changed.
Another way to say calm is stagnant water.
She didn't know if this was the final outcome of all relationships, but as she walked step by step to where she is today, she no longer knew the meaning of love.
Maybe it was meaningless in itself, but she took it for granted and gave it too much special meaning, and by the way, she also tied all her joys, sorrows, anger and happiness to it, and in the end she only trapped herself.
The car stopped in the parking lot of the confinement center. Qiao Yunxue unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door and got out, followed closely by Fu Shanzhan.
The two of them entered the elevator one after the other and returned to the suite.
When they entered the room, the child was awake and had just finished feeding. Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan were teasing her with toys in front of the crib.
Seeing them coming back together, the two elders were slightly stunned.
Fu Shanzhan saw their reactions and took the initiative to explain: "I came to see Qiao Qiao."
Xu Yan waved at him, and when Fu Shanzhan came over, she handed him the chewing gum toy in her hand, "Use this to tease her. She's really liked this little deer these days."
Fu Shanzhan took it and came to the crib. When he lowered his head, he met his daughter's watery eyes.
The baby changes every day during the confinement period. She is completely different from the last time we met. Her eyes are much bigger, she can smile, and she is becoming more and more lively.
Fu Shanzhan looked at her with a much softer gaze.
He raised his other hand and gently touched her face. The baby's face was so tender and smooth that he was reluctant to let go.
Seeing the new face, the little thing kept staring at him, and even her favorite deer couldn't take her attention away.
After seeing this scene, Xu Yan smiled and said, "Our Qiao Qiao loves dad so much that his eyes are wide open."
Fu Shanzhan also started laughing.
He put down the chewing gum in his hand and asked Xu Yan, "Mom, can I hold her?"
"Of course, I'll show you how. Just be careful." Xu Yan walked to the other side of the crib and picked up the child. "Hold the child's head with one hand, but don't use too much force."
Fu Shanzhan had watched a lot of teaching videos before, but when Xu Yan demonstrated, he still watched them carefully.
After writing it down, Fu Shanzhan took the child from Xu Yan and hugged her in a very standard posture.
