Chapter 22: The CEO and his ex-wife



"Beep...beep...Hello, the user you dialed is currently on the phone..."

Xia Wenlan's smile froze, and she said hesitantly, "He hung up. Are you busy?"

Xia Wenlan bit her lip and turned back to her room. She had moved to a new room. Although she didn't come back to live there, Xia Wanru still kept it clean and tidy for her.

Xia Wenlan's mind kept echoing with what she heard Gan Lie and Yu Rou say at the hospital gate today. She thought about it for a long time and decided to make another call.

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

Xia Wenlan was not stupid. She could guess what this hint meant, but she just couldn't believe it.

Without thinking, she called again, and got the same message.

She was blocked?

Xia Wenlan held the cell phone, and after this thought flashed through her mind, her hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

Why?

She opened WeChat, tremblingly edited a message and sent it, but it turned out that she was no longer the other person's friend.

When Gan Lie returned home, Yu Rou was drinking the soup that Ye's mother had made for her.

She turned around and saw Gan Lie, and asked, "My mom is back? Did she say anything to you?"

Gan Lie shook his head, "No."

"Do you want to drink some too? Mom stewed a lot and I can't finish it by myself. The bone soup is very fragrant and there are chestnuts in it." Yu Rou was already full, but there was still half of it in the pot.

Yu Rou's voice was flat and emotionless, but Gan Lie felt that her attitude was different. Even though she didn't look up at him, Gan Lie still felt a little warm in his heart.

Gan Lie looked at her, his expression softening considerably, and he said softly, "Okay."

He went to wash his hands first, and when he came out of the kitchen, Yu Rou was no longer in the restaurant.

On the table was the bowl she had just used.

Gan Lie was a little disappointed. He had originally planned to have a good talk with Yu Rou, but as soon as he came back, she went into the bedroom again and closed the door. Looking at the closed door, Gan Lie felt helpless.

Gan Lie felt that the food was tasteless when he was eating alone. He put down his bowl and chopsticks after taking a few bites. After hesitating for a while, he went to knock on the door of the master bedroom.

I can't keep running away like this.

Yu Rou had just emerged from the bathroom when she heard a knock on the door. She wasn't surprised, but instead showed an expression that suggested she had guessed it. The sudden increase of forty points in the whitewashing index today indicated a significant shift in Gan Lie's attitude, and he would definitely make some sort of statement.

I guess he came to talk to her about remarriage.

Yu Rou: "Wait."

Gan Lie heard her voice, put down his hand, and stood at the door waiting.

Two minutes later, Yu Rou opened the door.

Yu Rou has changed into pajamas. The loose white cotton pajamas actually make her look slimmer. The lines of her figure can be vaguely seen. She has a small waist and her belly doesn't seem to be visible yet.

She had just washed her face, which was white and clean, with smooth and delicate skin. Her watery eyes looked straight at him, and her lips were slightly raised. Her cherry-red lips were tender and juicy, capturing Gan Lie's full attention.

Gan Lie's pupils dilated slightly, and for a moment he forgot how to speak.

"Is there anything wrong? I'm getting ready to go to bed." Yu Rou said softly.

Gan Lie: "Can we chat?"

Yu Rou: "What are you talking about?"

Gan Lie: "Come out, let's sit down and talk."

Yu Rou looked at him, crossed her arms, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally agreed, "Well, let's talk."

She walked into the living room, sat down on the sofa, and picked up the sofa blanket to cover her legs.

Gan Lie sat across from her and asked, "Are you going for the checkup tomorrow?"

"Go ahead. I need to have my blood drawn on an empty stomach tomorrow. I have to get up early and go to the hospital." Yu Rou felt a little headache when she thought about this. She was not only sleepy but also easily hungry now, so it was a bit uncomfortable to get up early and go for the check-up without eating breakfast.

Gan Lie: "I'll go with you."

"You know, I have an appointment with someone else and it's already been agreed upon." Yu Rou didn't react much when she heard his words.

Gan Lie was silent for a few seconds, and the scene of Shen Min and Yu Rou standing together appeared in his mind. His eyes turned cold, but he still controlled his emotions and said, "Yu Rou."

"Hmm?" Hearing him calling her name somewhat solemnly, Yu Rou raised her eyelids and looked at him seriously.

Gan Lie: "Is there still hope for us to remarry?"

"You want to remarry? Why?" Yu Rou made a surprised expression. "Could it be that my mother persuaded you?"

"I do want to remarry, but it's not because of what mom said. It's my own idea."

Yu Rou smiled, with an indescribable irony in her eyes. "We're already divorced. I should have made my attitude clear to you before. If you're doing this for the child, you'd better give up the idea. The child can only be with me."

Gan Lie frowned, "I want to remarry, not just because of the child. There are many misunderstandings between us, and I feel I need to explain it to you clearly."

"What misunderstanding?" Yu Rou looked at him straight.

"I agreed to divorce because this marriage is not a union of love, but the seeds of revenge. But since you said it, I believed it. Now I want to ask you, do you still hate me?" Gan Lie stared into her eyes, as if thinking of those heavy and repressed memories. His eyes were burning and painful. He seemed not to want to recall the past, but was forcing himself to face reality.

Seeing him like this, Yu Rou recalled what the original owner had said to Gan Lie.

"How ridiculous! How could I fall in love with you? You are the person I hate the most since I was a child.

I hate you! I married you just for revenge, to let you know that falling in love with me was the biggest mistake of your life.
