"Where are you going before you finish your sentence?" Gan Lie looked at them coldly.
"Yeah, you'd better explain it clearly to your ex-husband and ask him to stop pestering you." Shen Min's words almost angered Gan Lie to death.
Even Yu Rou could feel that Gan Lie was about to explode with anger.
She wanted Shen Min to stop talking, as it would be difficult to end the conversation. Yu Rou did not forget that she still had a mission to accomplish.
But in this situation, if she tried to persuade him, it would only backfire.
Unexpectedly, Gan Lie did not get angry as she expected, but was frighteningly calm instead.
This reminded Yu Rou of the silence before the storm.
Gan Lie looked at Yu Rou and said expressionlessly, "Do you think I'm pestering you?"
Yu Rou couldn't help but feel frightened. She had never seen Gan Lie like this before.
Yu Rou turned around and said to Shen Min, "I'm sorry, you should go first."
Shen Min frowned: "Are you sure it's okay?"
Yu Rou glanced at Gan Lie, then smiled at Chen Min and said, "It's okay, I can go back by myself."
Seeing Yu Rou smiling at Chen Min, Gan Lie's eyes were as gloomy as water. His anger gradually accumulated and turned into a heavy boulder, pressing him so hard that he could hardly breathe.
But in front of Shen Min, he couldn't show any of it. Instead, the calmness on his face revealed a hint of danger.
Chen Min was also a man, so he could naturally sense Gan Lie's anger. He hesitated, but Yu Rou's tone was not to discuss with him, but to tell him directly to leave.
Indeed, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and what he said just now was indeed over the line. Yu Rou's reaction was within his expectations.
Shen Min nodded, "Yeah."
"Then you go first." Yu Rou said.
Shen Min glanced at Gan Lie and said, "Goodbye."
…
After Chen Min left, only Yu Rou and Gan Lie were left.
"Why are you here?" Yu Rou lowered her voice.
Gan Lie didn't say anything, but stared at her intently.
Yu Rou's heartbeat quickened and she swallowed nervously.
"Are you scared?" Gan Lie's voice was very soft, but it sounded like the ringing of a temple bell, making Yu Rou's eardrums buzz and her body tremble.
"I didn't." Yu Rou shook her head.
"What is your relationship with him now?" Gan Lie asked in an extremely cold tone.
"What exactly do you want to ask? What is my relationship with him? Why do you care so much?" Yu Rou glared at him willfully, with a hint of emotion in her eyes.
Gan Lie met her eyes and his heart skipped a beat. His anger and gloomy emotions were about to collapse.
"Or are you jealous?" Yu Rou raised her voice. "Are you jealous, Gan Lie?"
Gan Lie's expression changed subtly. Yu Rou's blunt rebuttal left him at a loss for words.
Yu Rou pressed on, "We're already divorced, but you don't let me have any contact with anyone else. Do you still love me?"
Gan Lie's expression suddenly tightened, his heart pounding. He was about to speak when Yu Rou turned her back to him and said, "Forget it. I don't want to know anymore. Let's go."
…
After returning home, Yu Rou went to take a shower first. Gan Lie sat on the sofa with the TV turned on, but his eyes were unfocused and no one knew what he was thinking.
Yu Rou's words seemed to still echo in his ears.
"Are you still in love with me?"
He fell into deep thought, and many scenes from the past emerged in his mind. When he was five years old, he held Yu Rou's hand and went to kindergarten, but was pushed away by Yu Rou. Yu Rou pouted and scolded him for stealing her parents' love.
When they were ten years old, they were going to school together. After getting off the bus, she ran away and refused to go to school with him.
But his eyes followed her all the time and never left.
At the age of fifteen, he knew that he liked Yu Rou. When he first fell in love, his heart would be moved when he saw her smile.
Later on, he always stayed with Yu Rou. Even though he knew that there might never be any result, he never gave up the idea of staying with her for the rest of his life.
When he heard Yu Rou take the initiative to say that she wanted to be with him, he still remembered that his heart seemed to jump out of his throat. Because she agreed to marry him, he felt that he would never have any regrets in his life.
But the happier we were then, the more painful we were later.
If he had never been given any expectations, he might not have felt so much pain, but he was given the opportunity to dream, which dragged him from a sweet dream into a nightmare and kicked him from heaven to hell.
In Yu Rou's eyes, his dedication and love were just tools for her revenge.
When he heard Yu Rou say that she married him just to get revenge on him and Xia Wenlan, he felt like a complete fool, but even so, he still wanted to be good to her for the rest of his life. However, repeated quarrels and endless hatred turned his love into hatred and helplessness.
Ever since they got married, Yu Rou seemed to be talking about divorce all the time. Gan Lie was hurt at first and argued with her, but later he became numb.
When he agreed to divorce that time, he had forgotten what he was thinking at that time. It seemed that it was to give both of them a relief. Since the marriage was to take revenge on him, then Yu Rou did it. Now that she wanted a divorce, he would just grant her wish.
Why be together and make two people suffer?
Since she hated her so much and was so disgusted by his love for her, he might as well stop loving her.
Gan Lie even felt sometimes that he hated Yu Rou, hated her for giving him hope and hated her for shattering his dreams.
On the day of Yu's father's wedding, Xia Wenlan told him to go. He didn't want to go at first, but he knew Yu Rou's temper best. If anything went wrong, Yu Rou would be the one to suffer.
Who knew that after he rushed over, Yu Rou gave him a strange yet familiar feeling. To be honest, she was even more dazzling at this time, and even his dead heart showed signs of reviving.
Fortunately, even after he put out the fire, he told himself thousands of times in his heart that he couldn't do it.
But until the day when the divorce papers were signed, he still felt regretful for a moment. Fortunately, he had good self-control and remained indifferent. He also told himself not to give himself unnecessary expectations and to give up the idea, which was better than torturing each other.
Who knew that just after the divorce, he found out that Yu Rou was pregnant.
Gan Lie subconsciously felt that this was another revenge from Yu Rou, as she deliberately let her know that she was pregnant only after the divorce.
But even if he knew, he had no way to do anything. This made Gan Lie feel that he was being played around by Yu Rou, so he did not go home that day.
…
Gan Lie was lost in his own thoughts when he suddenly heard a scream coming from the bathroom.
Gan Lie's heart skipped a beat and he immediately stood up.
