Chapter 573 Peace
Since all the documents were brought with them, the divorce procedure was completed quickly. The marriage certificate was cut in half and replaced with a divorce certificate, which was handed to each of them. The household registration booklet was also split accordingly.
The two of them went from being a family tied together to being two independent people.
When Qiao Yunxue walked out of the divorce window, she happened to meet a couple who came to get their marriage certificate. The two looked about the same age as her, with smiles all over their faces and a good relationship.
She heard the woman say with a smile, "It seems we are the first couple to get the marriage certificate today!"
The man smiled and took her hand, and they walked into the registration area.
Qiao Yunxue lowered her head, sniffed, and walked out, clutching the divorce certificate in her hand.
Fu Shanzhan quickened his pace to catch up with Qiao Yunxue. After they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Fu Shanzhan finally mustered up the courage to ask her, "Can we have dinner together?"
Qiao Yunxue was silent for almost two minutes and finally nodded.
Fu Shanzhan was surprised and panicked. His body acted before his brain and he habitually grabbed her hand. But after he did, he realized something was wrong and immediately let go.
He touched the tip of his nose, a little embarrassed: "I'm used to it. I'm sorry, don't be angry."
"It's okay, let's go." Qiao Yunxue shook her head.
Fu Shanzhan was very surprised to see that she was not angry, and then he immediately laughed: "Then you wait here for me, I'll drive the car over."
Qiao Yunxue: "Yeah."
Within two minutes, Fu Shanzhan had parked the car in front of Qiao Yunxue. Qiao Yunxue habitually opened the passenger door. After getting in, she realized that she was sitting in the wrong seat, but after looking out the window, she decided not to get out.
Fu Shanzhan saw Qiao Yunxue fastened her seat belt and started the car. "Let's go to the place we used to go to for brunch."
Qiao Yunxue: "I remember you didn't like that store."
Fu Shanzhan: "As long as you like it."
Qiao Yunxue clutched her bag and looked out the window: "I want to eat steamed buns today. Let's go have breakfast."
Fu Shanzhan: "Alright, let's go to Wanzhou."
Qiao Yunxue said "hmm" and kept looking out the window.
Fu Shanzhan doesn't like Western food very much. Their eating habits are very different and their tastes are completely different. In the past few years that they have been together, whenever they go out to eat, he always chooses according to her taste. Although Fu Shanzhan has his own taste preferences, he is not picky and can eat a few bites of anything. Qiao Yunxue is more pretentious than him, so Fu Shanzhan unconditionally accommodates her.
And she has been enjoying this treatment. This is how love should be - perhaps because she has withdrawn from the relationship, she can suddenly look at the past objectively.
Fu Shanzhan was really good to her, better than most men in love. In fact, he treated her almost the same after marriage as before marriage. It was her own fault for not adjusting her mentality that caused the problems later. It was good for them to separate. If she continued to be so willful and make trouble, it would be a torture for Fu Shanzhan.
After driving for more than ten minutes, Qiao Yunxue's phone started buzzing. She came to her senses and took out her phone from her bag. Lu Ye's name was on the screen.
Qiao Yunxue subconsciously looked at Fu Shanzhan, and then laughed at her own reaction.
She curled her lips and pressed the answer button.
The car was very quiet. As soon as the call was connected, Fu Shanzhan, who was driving, heard Lu Ye's voice.
He was asking, "Have you come out of the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
Qiao Yunxue replied: "I'm out. I'm going to have dinner with him now."
Lu Ye: "Okay, then you guys eat first. I don't have anything to do, just asking a question."
Qiao Yunxue: "Yeah, hanging up."
There was nothing ambiguous about the conversation between the two of them, it just sounded too familiar, and there was a tacit understanding between the lines.
Fu Shanzhan gripped the steering wheel tightly. Even at this time, he couldn't completely not care about Lu Ye, but he knew very well that he was no longer qualified to care. They were divorced, and even if Qiao Yunxue was really with Lu Ye, he couldn't do anything about it.
Fu Shanzhan was silent for a long time before finally uttering, "What does Lu Ye want to talk to you about?"
Qiao Yunxue: "No, he just asked if I had completed the formalities."
Fu Shanzhan: "If there is anything urgent, you can go to him first."
Qiao Yunxue: "No need."
Fu Shanzhan: "Oh."
Then the conversation ended and he continued driving.
The car drove for another ten minutes and stopped in front of Wanzhou Tea Restaurant.
There were few customers in the restaurant on a weekday morning, so Qiao Yunxue and Fu Shanzhan did not go to the private room. Instead, they chose a booth by the window on the first floor and sat down.
It was Fu Shanzhan who ordered the food. This was their habit when they were together. Fu Shanzhan clearly remembered the food Qiao Yunxue liked to eat. After ordering a few of her favorites, he casually ordered two for himself.
The first thing that came up was double skin milk. Fu Shanzhan didn’t like it, so he only had Qiao Yunxue’s portion.
Qiao Yunxue picked up the spoon and took a bite, her mouth filled with the rich sweet taste of milk.
She pursed her lips and said to Fu Shanzhan, "I will go to see Qiao Qiao when I have time."
Fu Shanzhan: "Well, you can come whenever you want to see her. She is in the old house."
Qiao Yunxue: "Thank you, the aunt who is taking care of her..."
"You don't have to worry about these problems." Fu Shanzhan had already guessed what she was going to say next, and said to her directly: "I have resigned from the company, and my father also agreed. Starting today, I will be at home taking care of the children."
Qiao Yunxue was stunned for a moment.
She was not surprised that Fu Shanzhan would resign, but why would Fu Qingyun agree?
Seeing her surprised expression, Fu Shanzhan guessed what she was thinking, "My eldest and second brothers are more capable than me, and Dad knows that I don't have that ability. It's okay for me to focus on taking care of the children and avoid causing trouble for him."
Qiao Yunxue felt like there was something stuck in her throat and didn't know what to say.
Although Fu Shanzhan is not ambitious, having a job is completely different from quitting her job to go home and take care of the children. She has seen many posts from mothers who take care of their children full-time before and thinks that kind of life is terrible. She has also warned herself not to become like that.
Human nature is selfish. She was very disgusted with the idea of completely losing oneself for the sake of her children. She thought Fu Shanzhan was the same - he had been very rebellious since he was a child, otherwise he would not have been born in such a family and chosen to go to military school.
In his words, people come to this world to choose different things, so they must be themselves.
"Actually, you don't have to be like this." Qiao Yunxue was silent for a long time. "The child is taken care of by her aunt and others. You can do what you want. As long as you can find time to accompany her, that's enough."
"What I want to do now is to accompany her every day, not miss any details of her growth, and be a father who can make her feel happy." Fu Shanzhan smiled at her, "Just go and do what you want to do, I will teach her well."
Qiao Yunxue's eyes felt sore and tears came to her eyes on the spot.
Fu Shanzhan immediately took a tissue to wipe her tears, "Daughter-in-law...Xiaoxue, don't cry."
"I'm sorry." Qiao Yunxue's voice was trembling and suppressed. "I'm not worthy of being her mother."
"No, you haven't wronged anyone. You were the one who suffered during pregnancy and childbirth. How can you not be worthy of being her mother? What I'm doing now is nothing compared to the pain you've endured." Fu Shanzhan patted her shoulder, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Just study hard."
Qiao Yunxue looked at Fu Shanzhan's serious expression, but was still speechless.
How magical.
When they were husband and wife, they seemed unable to communicate as calmly as they do now, because they had too high expectations of each other, and would be disappointed and angry if the answers did not meet their expectations.
Love that is too hot is a shackle and a chain that can suffocate people.
