Chapter 23 Do You Know What You Are Talking About?

The view from inside the carriage was dim and hazy.

It was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeat.

Lu Lanxu didn't say anything, while Zhu Suisui was thinking about how to start.

I originally thought that filing for divorce was a very simple matter.

But when she really faced the man she had loved for so many years, Zhu Suisui found that doing this required psychological preparation.

There was silence for a moment.

When Zhu Suisui finally prepared himself mentally.

"Lan Xu..."

"Sui Sui."

They both spoke at the same time.

Zhu Suisui was startled for a moment, then slowly glanced at the man in front of him, pursed his lips and said, "You say."

I guess after a while, I won’t be in the mood to talk anymore.

Lu Lanxu could only see Zhu Suisui's face through the rearview mirror.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but she made me feel a little strange today. It seems that an invisible barrier has been erected between the two of us.

Lu Lanxu looked away and stared at the road ahead. "I'm sorry, I broke my promise today. I..."

"No need to explain, I understand." Zhu Suisui interrupted Lu Lanxu.

She was not an ignorant wife. She was well aware of Lu Lanxu's responsibilities and understood that when one stood at his level, freedom was the least thing worth mentioning.

Without people like Lu Lanxu, this country would not have struggled out of its suffering.

Zhu Suisui never blamed Lu Lanxu for this.

I didn’t do that before, and I certainly won’t do that after this rebirth.

It's just that she is a person who puts love first.

When you have expectations, any pain is not worth mentioning.

She won't care or pursue it.

But when they decided to retreat, all the little things they had experienced during their marriage became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Not to blame.

I'm tired.

On winter nights, there are piles of white snow on both sides of the road, which are quietly melting.

Just like her heart, her passion had long been covered by ice and snow, turning completely cold.

Lu Lanxu fell silent again.

After a while he said, "Even if you don't blame me, this is still my fault."

In fact, Lu Lanxu was really a very good husband. He fulfilled all the responsibilities that a husband should have. In this marriage, except for not having time to accompany her, he really did well enough.

Zhu Suisui even felt that even after they divorced, she would never be able to find someone better than Lu Lanxu.

This is good.

It's not his own excellence, but his tolerance and accommodation.

Zhu Suisui believed that this man spent all his time and energy outside of work on himself.

That's why.

Zhu Suicai weaved a beautiful dream for himself.

I think Lu Lanxu, maybe, does love himself a little bit.

But I found out later.

A man like Lu Lanxu, once he gets married, will be equally good to his wife no matter who she is.

Because he is a good enough person.

For him, whether she loves him or not, it doesn't affect how well he treats the woman who occupies his wife's position.

In the final analysis.

It’s Zhu Suisui’s own problem.

She loves him.

So she longs to be loved.

Once she knew it was hopeless, she was unwilling to go on.

Zhu Suisui looked out the window, at the withered branches, bare.

Because there is no warmth and nutrients, the tree withers and loses its branches and leaves. It will not grow new leaves until the next spring.

She chuckled: "Lan Xu, has anyone ever told you that you are really a very good person?"

Lu Lanxu frowned slightly.

Without waiting for him to speak, Zhu Suisui continued, "It's just that I can't afford this kind of goodness. I feel that I am very selfish. I chose you to marry from so many Lu family members based on the marriage contract from my elders."

Lu Lanxu tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his eyes darkened, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and his tone was free of any emotion.

"Do you regret it?"

Zhu Suisui shook his head, "No, I don't regret any of my decisions, because that was the decision I wanted to make most at the moment. I won't be too harsh on my 17-year-old self, but now, I want to live a different life."

As smart as Lu Lanxu.

How could I not understand what Zhu Suisui meant?

Slam on the brakes.

Zhu Suisui leaned forward subconsciously, and when he stabilized, he heard the man's calm voice.

"So, what kind of life do you want to live now?"

Zhu Suisui curled up his fingers and smiled bitterly.

He obviously guessed it.

But I want her to say it herself.

But having come to this point, Zhu Suisui knew that he would only continue to move downward.

She looked ahead and felt her body, which seemed to be dead.

She tried to forcibly strip herself of her soul, and after stripping herself of the love that penetrated her bones, she was left with only a walking corpse.

numbness.

Cold.

Hollow.

Zhu Suisui only felt a sharp pain in his heart, which was the struggle of leaving his lover.

But she still heard her own voice, which was so strange that it didn't sound like her own.

she said.

"Lan Xu, let's get a divorce."

divorce.

Give her a real new life.

Don't cling to a love that has never been reciprocated.

Otherwise, even if I were reborn, I would end up continuing to tolerate because of this marriage.

to the end.

She still follows the old path.

Be yourself again, cut off the rotten flesh, even if it hurts, it must be done.

No answer came.

Next second.

There was a "click" sound, which was the sound of the seat belt being unfastened.

Zhu Suisui looked up and saw that the car door had been opened and there was no one in the driver's seat.

Then.

The back door was opened.

The cold wind blew away, dispersing the warmth in the car.

In the dim light, the man standing next to the car has a handsome and delicate face, but at this moment he is completely emotionless.

He leaned in, bringing with him a unique refreshing fragrance. His eyes, which were originally affectionate and gentle, now had a hint of sharpness and hidden anger.

Lu Lanxu grabbed her hand and forced her to look at him with cold eyes.

"Sui Sui, do you know what you are saying?"

The two were very close at this moment.

Zhu Suisui could even feel Lu Lanxu's hand falling on her skin, hot and scalding.

Those black eyes were capturing me so tightly.

This was a look that he, a restrained and introverted man, had never had before.

She was a little puzzled, but didn't want to delve into it.

Zhu Suisui nodded earnestly at the other party and chuckled: "In the eyes of outsiders, I must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. I actually want to divorce you, Lu Lanxu. After all, to everyone, my ability to marry you is a great honor to my ancestors."

Lu Lanxu looked at her smile.

There was self-mockery and relief, but the only thing missing was the affectionate look that she had felt when she had looked at him.

He knew she was serious.

She really doesn't want to be with herself anymore.

Lu Lanxu's atrium was suddenly pierced by a numbing needle, and the pain made his breathing slow down.
