Chapter 632
Miss Shimizu is very cute
He walked out of my room.
I sat on the bed in a daze, picked up my mobile phone, and sent him a WeChat message:
“Do you like me?”
I quickly received a reply:
“Don’t be too self-confident.”
I was so angry that I wanted to smash my phone.
However, I quickly adjusted my mindset and decided to prove with my strength that I was not being self-confident.
I used my mobile phone to send him a text message:
“Don’t be too self-confident, I like you!”
I quickly received a reply:
“If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll eat you!”
I instantly felt suffocated.
I like him, but he dislikes me so much!
I threw my phone aside and got up to wash up in the bathroom.
After washing up, I saw an unread message on my phone.
It was sent by “him,” ten minutes ago.
“Didn’t you say you were going to confess to me? Why is there no news yet?”
The corners of my lips curved upward slightly.
So this was the real him.
I quickly replied to him:
“I was taking a bath just now and didn’t see your message.”
He quickly replied:
“Then hurry up and say it, I’m waiting!”
I held my phone and organized my thoughts in my mind, then sent him one:
“I like you, will you be my boyfriend?”
I saw that he was typing, and my heart started to feel tense.
One minute passed, and he still hadn’t replied.
I couldn’t wait any longer, so I sent him another message:
“If you don’t agree, I’ll go confess to someone else.”
This time he replied very quickly:
“Who do you want to confess to?”
“To you!” I replied quickly.
“Get lost! I don’t want you!”
Seeing this message, I was completely desperate.
He really didn’t like me, all my fantasies were shattered.
I threw my phone on the ground and cried aggrievedly.
Just as I was crying, the doorbell rang.
I quickly wiped away my tears, ran to open the door, and was stunned to see him standing outside.
“Why are you here?”
He strode in with his long legs and held me in his arms.
“Someone confessed to me, so of course I had to come and see if she was okay.”
He held me very tightly, and I could smell the faint scent of tobacco on him.
Smelling the familiar scent, I felt very safe.
“Didn’t you say you didn’t like me?”
“I don’t like you.”
“Then why are you hugging me?”
“Because you cried.” His voice was low and magnetic.
“I’m not crying,” I broke free from his embrace and said, pretending to be calm.
He reached out and gently caressed my cheek, his fingertips gentle.
“You say you’re not crying, but your eyes are all swollen.”
I lowered my head, too embarrassed to look at him anymore.
“I just couldn’t help it.”
“Silly girl.” He pulled me to sit on the sofa and held me in his arms again, gently kissing my forehead.
“Didn’t you say you were going to reject me?”
“When did I ever say I rejected you?”
“You said so on WeChat just now.”
“I was joking with you.”
“Really?” I looked up, meeting his eyes.
“Mhm.” He nodded heavily. “I really like you.”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but cry again.
“Silly girl, no more crying.” He raised his hand to wipe away my tears, his expression so gentle it could melt.
“Then, will you be my boyfriend?”
“No.”
My heart instantly sank to the bottom.
“Why?”
“Because I want to be your husband.”
I burst into laughter through my tears.
“Okay.”
“So, when should we get our marriage certificate?”
“When do you want?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow won’t work, I have work tomorrow.”
“Then I’ll go with you.”
“You don’t have to, I can go by myself.”
“No, I want to accompany you.”
“Alright then.”
He held me, holding me even tighter.
“I’ve liked you for a long time.”
“Really?”
“Mhm, I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you.”
“I liked you before you liked me,” I said proudly, raising my head.
“Is that so?” He raised an eyebrow.
“Of course.”
“Then we’re even.”
“No way!” I didn’t want to be even with him! I liked him just a little bit more!
“Okay, okay, you like me a little bit more,” he said with a smile, the doting in his eyes thick enough to drown in.
“That’s more like it.” I nestled contentedly in his arms.
“Did I scare you just now?”
“Scare me with what?”
“You know, when I confessed to you, and you rejected me.”
“No, I knew you were joking with me.”
Actually, I was quite scared at the time.
“So what do you think now?”
“Now I want to be your girlfriend.”
“Silly girl, it’s too late now.”
“Why?” I looked up at him, confused.
“Because I want you to be my wife.”
I burst into laughter through my tears again.
“Okay, I agree.”
“Good girl.” He smiled and kissed me on the cheek.
His kiss, with its faint tobacco scent, was very charming.
Neither of us spoke, we just quietly snuggled together, enjoying the quiet and beautiful moment.
It wasn’t until I felt a little hungry that I broke the silence.
“What are we having for dinner?”
“What do you want to eat?”
“I want to eat what you cook.”
“Okay, I’ll make it.”
He got up and walked into the kitchen.
I sat on the sofa, took out my phone, and sent my best friend a WeChat message:
“I’m in love!”
My best friend quickly replied:
“Congratulations, someone finally took you, you monster!”
I couldn’t help but curl my lips.
“I’m not a monster!”
“Yes, yes, you’re not a monster, you’re a fairy, alright?”
“That’s more like it.” I replied, and sent my best friend another message:
“My boyfriend is so handsome, much more handsome than yours!”
My best friend replied: “Hmph, wait and see, I’ll show you how handsome my Young Master Ou is!”
I smiled and put my phone aside.
He was busy in the kitchen, and my heart felt warm.
I walked to the kitchen entrance, leaned on the door frame, and looked at his tall and straight back.
He was wearing casual clothes, but they couldn’t hide his noble aura.
He’s truly outstanding, handsome, rich, and treats me so well.
I’m completely smitten.
“What are you looking at?” He turned his head and looked at me gently.
“Looking at you.”
“Good-looking?”
“Good-looking,” I replied with a smile.
He picked me up and placed me on the countertop.
“Don’t mess around, go wait outside.”
“I won’t.” I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek.
“Good girl.” He patted my behind.
I smiled and ran out.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, I turned on the TV and started watching a melodramatic idol drama.
Not long after, he came out with dishes.
“Dinner’s ready.”
I excitedly ran over to help him carry dishes.
The two of us sat at the dining table, enjoying a candlelit dinner.
“Your cooking is delicious!” I praised sincerely.
“If you like it, I’ll cook it for you every day from now on.”
“Okay.”
After dinner, he voluntarily took on the task of washing the dishes.
I sat in the living room watching TV, feeling truly happy.
After washing the dishes, he came and sat beside me, pulling me into his arms.
“Shall we go watch a movie?”
“Okay.”
We went to the cinema to watch a movie and then to KTV to sing.
It wasn’t until eleven o’clock at night that we got home.
As soon as we entered the house, he impatiently kissed me.
His kiss was gentle yet possessive, filled with deep love.
I felt my body melting.
He swept me up in his arms, walked to the bedroom, and gently laid me on the bed.
“I like you.”
“I like you too.”
After their passionate embrace, he held me and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, when I woke up, he was no longer by my side.
I reached out and touched the spot beside me, it was cold.
I felt a little disappointed, but I quickly composed myself.
I put on my clothes, opened the door, and saw him busy in the kitchen.
“You’re awake?” He smiled when he saw me.
“Mhm, when did you wake up?”
“I woke up at six.”
“Then why didn’t you wake me up?”
“I saw you sleeping soundly and couldn’t bear to wake you.”
My heart filled with sweetness.
“What are you doing?”
“Making breakfast for you.”
“Wow, you’re so good to me!” I walked over and hugged his waist.
“Good girl, go wash your face and brush your teeth.”
“Okay.” I walked into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, we sat at the dining table and ate a delicious breakfast.
“After breakfast, we’re going to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
“Ah?” I was a little confused. “What are we going to the Civil Affairs Bureau for?”
“To get our marriage certificate.”
“So soon?”
“Of course it’s soon, I can’t wait to marry you and take you home.”
My heart felt incredibly sweet.
“Well, are you ready?”
“I’m ready.”
“Then let’s go.”
He took my hand, and we walked out the door together.
When we arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, we queued for a number.
While waiting, I felt a bit nervous.
“Don’t be nervous, I’m here,” he said, squeezing my hand and giving me a reassuring look.
Soon, it was our turn.
We walked into the office, took our wedding photos, and signed the papers.
When the red marriage certificates were handed to us, I felt like everything was a dream.
“We’re married!” I exclaimed, hugging him excitedly.
“Yes, we’re married. You’re my wife from now on.”
He gently kissed my forehead.
“Husband, you’re so good!”
“From now on, I’ll be good to you for a lifetime.”
“Mmm.”
We walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and he scooped me up, spinning me around a few times.
“Put me down quickly, so many people are watching,” I said shyly.
He smiled and put me down, then took my hand again.
“Let’s go, wife, we’re going on our honeymoon.”
“Where are we going for our honeymoon?”
“Wherever you want to go, we’ll go.”
“I want to go to the Maldives.”
“Okay, whatever you say.”
The days that followed were very sweet.
He was so good to me, he doted on me to no end.
I felt like the happiest person in the world.
Later, I found out that he was actually the young master of a wealthy family.
But I didn’t care about his status at all.
Because I loved him, and he loved me, and that was enough.
Every day, he would prepare a loving breakfast for me.
Every day after work, he would come to pick me up.
Every night, we would fall asleep in each other’s arms.
Our life together was peaceful and warm.
Until one day, I received a strange phone call.
“Hello, may I speak to Miss Qin?”
“Yes, this is she. May I ask who is calling?”
“I am Young Master Gu’s special assistant. Young Master Gu asked me to inform you that he has to work overtime tonight, so please eat first and don’t wait for him.”
“Okay, I understand.”
After hanging up, I felt a little disappointed.
But I adjusted my mood quickly.
He was busy with work, and there was nothing that could be done about it.
I ate dinner by myself, watched TV for a while, and then fell asleep.
When I woke up the next morning, the spot beside me was still empty.
I felt some worry in my heart.
He was always very punctual and had never stayed out all night before.
I quickly took out my mobile phone and sent him a WeChat message:
“Husband, why didn’t you come home last night? Did something happen?”
I waited for a while, but received no reply.
I started to get anxious and called him again.
The phone rang several times before being answered.
“Hello?” A lazy female voice came from the phone.
My heart instantly sank to the bottom.
“Excuse me, who are you?” I tried my best to remain calm.
“I’m Young Master Gu’s woman. Who are you?”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” I felt my voice tremble.
“Am I talking nonsense? Young Master Gu is right beside me. Do you believe me? I can let you hear his voice?”
“I don’t want to hear it!” I shouted and hung up the phone.
My tears, I could no longer hold back, streamed down my face.
He had another woman behind my back!
I picked up the glass on the table and smashed it fiercely on the ground.
“Gu Xicheng, you bastard!”
Crying, I smashed everything in the room into pieces.
After venting, I felt all my strength drained away.
I lay on the bed, tears flowing uncontrollably.
My phone rang. It was my best friend.
I quickly wiped my tears and answered the phone.
“Hello, dear, do you have time to go shopping with me?”
“What’s wrong? You don’t sound right,” my best friend asked with concern.
“No, I just missed you,” I said with a forced smile.
“Really? Then wait for me at home, I’ll be there soon.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, I got out of bed and started tidying up the room.
I couldn’t let my best friend see anything unusual.
Half an hour later, my best friend arrived.
She was startled when she saw the mess in the room.
“Oh my god, what happened to your room?”
“It’s nothing, I accidentally dropped a cup, and then I accidentally made the room like this.” I tried to make my tone sound casual.
My best friend clearly didn’t believe me, but didn’t press the issue.
“Let’s go, let’s go shopping.”
“Okay.”
We went to the mall, and I noticed my best friend kept staring at me.
“Why are you always staring at me?” I asked.
“Why are your eyes so red? Did you cry?”
“No, I didn’t sleep well last night,” I denied.
“Really? Why do I feel like you have something on your mind?”
“Don’t guess, what could I possibly have on my mind?”
To divert my best friend’s attention, I pulled her into a store.
“Look, this dress is so beautiful!”
“It is very beautiful.”
My best friend helped me pick out a dress, and I went into the fitting room to change.
When I came out after changing, my best friend’s eyes widened.
“Oh my god, this dress suits you so well, go buy it!”
“Okay.”
I bought the dress and then accompanied my best friend for a while before going home.
As soon as we got home, my best friend pulled me aside and said she wanted to talk.
“Dear, what exactly happened? Did you have a fight with your husband?”
I couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears, hugging my best friend.
“He has another woman!”
My best friend froze for a moment, then said angrily, “What? That bastard, how dare he find a mistress behind your back! Tell me, who is that woman? I’ll go teach her a lesson for you!”
“Forget it, I just want a divorce now.”
“Divorce? Can you bear to?”
“What can I do if I can’t bear it? Should I continue to drag it out with him?”
“Then what do you plan to do? If you divorce him, what will you do alone?”
“I don’t know, my mind is very confused right now.”
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” my best friend said, comforting me.
“Thank you, dear.”
“Don’t be polite with me, we are best friends.”
My best friend stayed with me all night and left the next morning.
Looking at the empty room, my heart ached even more.
I picked up my phone and sent Gu Xicheng a WeChat message:
“Let’s get a divorce.”
I quickly received a reply:
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
“I’m not talking nonsense, let’s get a divorce.”
“I won’t divorce!”
“Gu Xicheng, don’t force me!”
“Even if you force me, I won’t divorce!”
I trembled with anger.
He refused to divorce!
I called Gu Xicheng.
The phone rang for a long time before being answered.
“Hello.” His voice was very tired.
“Let’s get a divorce,” I said directly.
“Impossible!”
“Gu Xicheng, you have already betrayed me, what right do you have to say impossible!”
“I didn’t betray you!” His voice suddenly became loud.
“You still dare to quibble! What about that woman last night!”
“What woman? What are you talking about?”
“You’re still playing dumb! That woman on your phone, she told me, she’s your woman!”
“Who is she?” Gu Xicheng’s tone became very serious.
“Stop playing dumb! Gu Xicheng, let’s get a divorce, I don’t want to waste any more time with you!”
“I don’t agree!”
“If you don’t agree, I’ll sue you in court!”
“You dare!”
“See if I dare!” I roared.
Hanging up the phone, my chest heaved with anger.
This bastard, he refused to divorce!
I decided I would sue him in court tomorrow.
The next morning, as soon as I walked out of my room, I saw Gu Xicheng standing at the door.
He was wearing a full black suit, his face was very pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.
It was obvious he hadn’t rested well last night.
“What are you doing here!” Seeing him, I became angry.
“Wife, let me explain.”
“I don’t want to listen!” I walked around him and went outside.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his embrace.
“Wife, don’t go, please let me explain, okay?”
“Let go of me!” I struggled.
“I won’t let go!” He held me tightly.
“Gu Xicheng, let go of me, or I’ll call the police!”
“Call the police then, I won’t let go.”
Crying, I beat him with all my might.
“Gu Xicheng, you bastard, you’re bullying me!”
“Wife, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” He kept apologizing.
“I don’t want to hear your apologies!”
“Wife, believe me, I really didn’t betray you.”
“Impossible!”
“Last night, I was having a business dinner with several clients and drank too much. My phone was taken by my special assistant, and that woman is my special assistant’s girlfriend!”
“Really?” I looked up at his eyes.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked very tired.
“I swear, if I’m lying, let me be hit by a car and die!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” I quickly covered his mouth.
“I’m not talking nonsense, wife, believe me.”
“I… I don’t know.”
“Wife, don’t be angry, it’s my fault this time. I shouldn’t have ignored your calls and messages. Wife, will you forgive me?”
“Are… are you telling the truth?”
“Of course, I am! How could I lie to you!”
“Then, why did your special assistant’s female companion pretend to be your woman?”
“How would I know! When I get back, I’ll definitely teach her a lesson!”
“Forget it, you don’t have to teach her a lesson.”
“No, she made you this angry. I must teach her a lesson!”
“Gu Xicheng, don’t be impulsive.”
“Wife, are you not angry anymore?”
“I… I’m still a little angry.”
“Wife, I apologize. I won’t dare to do it again.”
“Mhm.”
“Wife, don’t lose your temper again, okay?”
“I know.”
“So obedient.” He smiled and kissed me on the face.
“So, are we still going to divorce?”
“No!” I shook my head quickly. I didn’t want to divorce him at all!
“I knew it, you can’t bear to leave me.”
“No way! I just don’t want to benefit other women!”
“Yes, yes, yes, my dear wife is right.” He smiled and carried me into the room.
We were back to our old selves, and our sweet life began again.
But, in my heart, there was always a knot.
Why did that woman pretend to be Gu Xicheng’s woman?
I always felt that this matter was not that simple.
However, I didn’t ask further.
I didn’t want to argue with him about this matter again.
I chose to believe him.
Days passed, and our relationship grew stronger.
Until one day, I received an email.
The email contained a photo.
In the photo, Gu Xicheng was holding a woman and smiling happily.
That woman was not me.
When I saw the photo, I felt my heart being torn apart instantly.
I put down my phone, my hands shaking violently.
I didn’t know what to do.
I walked to the window and looked outside.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but my world was enshrouded in darkness.
I picked up my phone and sent Gu Xicheng a WeChat message:
“Let’s talk.”
I quickly received a reply:
“Talk about what?”
“Talk about matters between us.”
“What’s there to talk about?”
“Gu Xicheng, don’t force me!”
“I’m not forcing you; I just don’t want to argue with you.”
“You don’t want to argue? Do you dare to say you haven’t done anything to wrong me?”
“I haven’t!”
“Do you dare to swear!”
“I swear!”
“Gu Xicheng, you’re a total bastard!” I shouted.
“Wife, what’s wrong with you?”
“See for yourself!” I sent him the photo.
After a long time, he replied:
“This is Photoshopped.”
“Do you think I’ll believe that!”
“Wife, believe me, this photo is indeed Photoshopped. Someone is framing me intentionally.”
“Who would frame you!”
“I don’t know, wife. Believe me, I really haven’t betrayed you.”
“I don’t want to hear your explanation!”
“Wife, don’t be like this, listen to me.”
“I won’t listen!”
I threw my phone on the bed and ran to the bathroom, crying.
I cried sadly and despairingly.
He had actually been with another woman behind my back!
I was so blind to have believed him!
After I finished crying, I returned to the room and found Gu Xicheng standing in my room.
He was holding my phone in his hand.
“Wife, listen to me, this photo is really fake.”
“Get away!” I pushed him away.
“Wife, how can you not believe me!” He looked hurt.
“Why should I believe you! You liar!”
“I’m not a liar!”
“You are!”
“Wife, listen to me, this photo was intentionally used to frame me. Can you trust me just this once?”
“I don’t believe you!”
“Wife!”
“Gu Xicheng, let’s get divorced. I don’t want to drag this out anymore!”
“I don’t agree!”
“If you don’t agree, I’ll sue you in court!”
“You dare!”
“See if I dare!”
I picked up my bag and ran out of the house without looking back.
I ran to my best friend’s house. My best friend was startled when she saw my disheveled state.
“Good heavens, what happened to you?”
I hugged my best friend and burst into tears again.
“He’s with another woman! He lied to me again!”
Upon hearing this, my best friend was furious.
“This bastard, I won’t let him get away with it!”
“Forget it, I just want a divorce now.”
“Divorce? Are you really decided?”
“Mhm, I’ve had enough!”
“Alright then, I support you!”
My best friend wiped my tears and poured me a glass of water.
“So, what do you plan to do?”
“I plan to sue him in court tomorrow!”
“Okay, I’ll go with you!”
“Thank you, dear.”
“Why are you being polite with me? We’re best friends.”
The next morning, my best friend and I arrived at the court.
We saw Gu Xicheng at the entrance of the court.
When he saw me, he quickly ran over.
“Wife, let me explain!”
“I don’t want to listen!” I walked past him and into the court.
He grabbed my hand, preventing me from entering.
“Wife, believe me, that photo is fake!”
“Gu Xicheng, let go of me!”
“I won’t!”
“Gu Xicheng, don’t force me!”
“I’m not forcing you, I just don’t want to divorce you!”
“Gu Xicheng, let go!” I forcefully shook off his hand.
He held me in his arms, hugging me tightly.
“Wife, don’t go, please listen to my explanation.”
“I won’t listen!”
“Listen to me, I really haven’t wronged you.”
“Let go of me!”
“I won’t!”
I cried and beat him with all my might.
“Gu Xicheng, you bastard, you’re bullying me!”
“Wife, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have doubted you.”
“Let me go!”
“I won’t!”
Just as we were in a stalemate, a woman walked over.
When I saw that woman, I was stunned.
That woman was the woman in the photo!
“Gu Xicheng, let her go!” the woman shouted.
Gu Xicheng let go of me, turned his head, and looked at the woman coldly.
“Why are you here?”
“Of course I have to be here. I’m here to tell this lady what kind of man you are!”
The woman walked up to me and said arrogantly:
“Miss Qin, you probably don’t know yet, Gu Xicheng doesn’t love you at all. He’s only with me to get revenge on you!”
My heart sank heavily.
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Gu Xicheng roared.
“Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you know it in your heart!”
“Gu Xicheng, is what she’s saying true?” I looked at Gu Xicheng, my voice trembling.
Gu Xicheng didn’t speak, his eyes were complicated.
“Of course it’s true! The person Gu Xicheng has always loved is me! When he married you, it was just to make me give up!”
“Shut up!” Gu Xicheng roared.
“Gu Xicheng, do you dare to say you haven’t loved me!”
Gu Xicheng remained silent.
“See, Miss Qin, Gu Xicheng doesn’t love you at all!”
I felt my body sway precariously.
“No, it’s impossible!” I shook my head desperately.
“What’s impossible about it! Gu Xicheng, do you dare to tell her how long you’ve been with me!”
“Get lost!” Gu Xicheng roared.
“Gu Xicheng, do you dare to do it but not admit it!”
“Shut up!”
“Miss Qin, Gu Xicheng has been with me for three years, and you’ve only been married to him for one year!”
Darkness enveloped my vision.
“Miss Qin, Gu Xicheng married you just to have a child with you. He doesn’t love you at all!”
“You’re talking nonsense!”
“Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you know it in your heart!” the woman sneered.
I looked at Gu Xicheng, my eyes filled with despair.
“Gu Xicheng, tell me, is what she’s saying true!”
Gu Xicheng remained silent.
“Speak!” I shouted.
“I’m sorry.” He managed to utter those three words.
Hearing those three words, I felt my world completely collapse.
“Gu Xicheng, you bastard! Why did you lie to me!” I burst into tears.
“Miss Qin, you know the truth now, don’t you? Gu Xicheng doesn’t love you at all, he’s just using you!” the woman said triumphantly.
“Get out!” Gu Xicheng roared.
“Gu Xicheng, don’t yell at me, I’m Miss Qin’s savior now!”
“Shut up!”
“Gu Xicheng, just you wait, I won’t let you off!”
After saying that, the woman turned and left.
I looked at Gu Xicheng, my eyes filled with despair.
“Gu Xicheng, tell me, why did you lie to me!”
“Wife, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied to you.”
“What did you do wrong!”
“Why are you treating me like this!”
“Wife, let me explain.”
“I don’t want to hear it!”
I turned and ran into the courthouse.
My best friend quickly followed.
“Darling, are you okay?”
“I’m telling you, I’m definitely divorcing him!”
“Okay, I support you!”
We walked into the courthouse and submitted the divorce application.
Gu Xicheng chased in and saw that we had submitted the divorce application.
His expression instantly turned pale.
“Wife, don’t be like this, can we not divorce?”
“Gu Xicheng, we’ve come this far, do you think there’s still room to turn back!”
“Yes! Wife, believe me, I will definitely treat you well from now on!”
“I don’t want to hear your explanation!”
“Wife, don’t be impulsive, calm down.”
“I don’t want to calm down! Gu Xicheng, we’re divorcing!”
“No divorce!”
“Gu Xicheng, let go!” I shook off his hand.
He looked at me, his eyes filled with despair.
“Wife, are you really going to be so heartless?”
“You were the first to be heartless to me!”
With that, I turned and left the courthouse without looking back.
My best friend chased after me.
“Darling, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, let’s go.”
We walked out of the courthouse, and Gu Xicheng chased after us.
“Wife, let me explain!”
“I don’t want to hear it!”
I got into my best friend’s car, and she started the engine and drove away from the courthouse.
In the car, I couldn’t help but burst into tears again.
“Darling, don’t cry, it’s not worth it for that kind of man!”
“I just can’t help it!”
“There, there, don’t cry.” My best friend hugged me, offering comfort.
“What should I do now?”
“You can stay at my place for a while and calm down.”
“Okay.”
I stayed at my best friend’s house, crying myself to sleep every day.
Gu Xicheng called and texted me every day, but I never replied.
I had completely given up hope.
A week later, I received a summons from the court.
Gu Xicheng was suing me, saying I didn’t have children for him and wanted a divorce.
Seeing the summons, I couldn’t help but laugh with anger.
He was actually playing the victim!
I picked up my phone and called Gu Xicheng.
“Gu Xicheng, you bastard, you actually sued me!”
“Wife, don’t be angry, I just want to see you.”
“I don’t want to see you!”
“Wife, can’t you give me a chance to explain?”
“I don’t want to hear your explanation!”
“Wife, listen to me, I really didn’t betray you, that photo is fake!”
“Do you think I’ll believe that!”
“Wife, believe me!”
“Gu Xicheng, I’ll see you in court!”
I hung up the phone, trembling with anger.
This bastard, how shameless can he be!
I decided, I will definitely divorce him!
I told my best friend about this, and she was furious upon hearing it.
“This bastard, how dare he play the victim!”
“I just want to divorce him now!”
“Okay, I support you!”
The next day, my best friend and I went to court.
In court, Gu Xicheng insisted that he did not betray me,
and that the photo was fake and that someone had framed him deliberately.
The lawyer he hired also said many things that were unfavorable to me.
My heart sank completely.
I never expected him to treat me like this!
Finally, the court ruled that we were to divorce, and Gu Xicheng was to give me a sum of alimony.
I didn’t take his money, I just wanted to divorce him.
Walking out of the courthouse, I felt like I had been reborn.
I was free!
My best friend and I went shopping for new clothes and got our hair done.
I decided, I will start my new life anew!
When I got home, I saw Gu Xicheng standing at my doorstep.
He looked haggard, his eyes bloodshot.
“Wife, don’t go, let me explain!”
“Gu Xicheng, we’re already divorced, please don’t call me wife anymore!”
“Wife, believe me, that photo is really fake!”
“I don’t want to hear your explanation!”
“Wife, listen to me, I really didn’t betray you.”
“Gu Xicheng, we’re already divorced, please don’t come looking for me anymore!”
I walked past him and into my house, slamming the door shut.
Gu Xicheng knocked incessantly on the door outside, calling my name.
I ignored him.
I walked to the window and looked outside.
Gu Xicheng was still standing at my doorstep, knocking and calling my name.
Tears streaming down my face, I sent him a WeChat message:
“Gu Xicheng, we’re already divorced, please don’t bother me anymore!”
I quickly received a reply:
“Wife, wait for me, I will definitely find out the truth!”
I didn’t reply.
I turned off my phone, went to bed, and lay down.
My heart was filled with grievance and unwillingness.
I loved him, but he treated me like this!
I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning when I woke up, I called my best friend.
“Darling, where are we going to play today?”
“I want to go to the amusement park.”
“Okay, whatever you say!”
We went to the amusement park and played many rides.
My mood improved a lot.
While riding the carousel, I saw Gu Xicheng standing not far away,
staring at me blankly.
I pretended not to see him and continued playing.
After the carousel, my best friend and I went to get ice cream.
Gu Xicheng followed us again.
“Wife, don’t go, let me explain!”
“Gu Xicheng, we’re already divorced, please don’t bother me anymore!”
“Wife, believe me!”
“I don’t believe you!”
“Wife, I love you!”
“If you loved me, you wouldn’t have betrayed me!”
“I didn’t betray you!”
“Gu Xicheng, please don’t bother me anymore!”
I pulled my best friend away and left the amusement park.
Gu Xicheng kept calling my name from behind, but I didn’t look back.
When I returned home, I opened my phone and saw that Gu Xicheng had sent me many messages.
I didn’t read a single one and deleted them all.
I turned off my phone, went to bed, and lay down.
That night, I had a dream where Gu Xicheng was holding another woman and
smiling happily.
I woke up from the dream, drenched in sweat.
I went to the bathroom, washed my face, and looked at myself in the mirror.
My face was pale, and my eyes were bloodshot.
I decided, I have to leave this place.
I don’t want to see Gu Xicheng anymore.
The next morning, I called my best friend and told her I was leaving.
My best friend was surprised.
“Where are you going?”
“I don’t know, I just want to leave here.”
“Then you can stay at my place for a while.”
“No need, I’ve already booked my flight.”
“When are you leaving?”
“This afternoon.”
“So soon!”
“Mm.”
“Then be careful on your way, call me when you arrive.”
“Okay.”
I packed my bags and left home.
I didn’t tell Gu Xicheng.
I didn’t want to see him anymore.
I went to the airport, got on the plane, and left this heartbroken place.
On the plane, I looked out the window, tears uncontrollably flowing.
Gu Xicheng, goodbye.
I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, the plane had landed.
I walked out of the airport and arrived in a new city.
I found a hotel and checked in, starting my new life alone.
Every day, I would schedule many activities for myself, so that I wouldn’t have time to think about Gu Xicheng.
However, whenever it was late at night and the house was quiet, I would still think of him.
When I thought of our past sweetness, my heart would ache.
I forced myself not to think of him anymore.
Days passed, and my heart gradually calmed down.
I began to get used to living alone.
Until one day, I saw Gu Xicheng on television.
He was being interviewed by a television station.
He looked haggard and had lost a lot of weight.
The reporter asked him if he knew where his wife was.
Gu Xicheng said he didn’t know, and that he regretted deceiving me.
He said he loved me.
Seeing Gu Xicheng on television, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.
I picked up the remote and turned off the TV.
I don’t want to see him anymore.
I don’t want to hear his voice anymore.
I picked up my phone and called my best friend.
“Darling, do you know what Gu Xicheng is doing now?”
“He? He’s been looking for you every day. He regrets it very much.
He told me he loves you very much.”
“Don’t believe him, he’s just a liar!”
“Darling, calm down, Gu Xicheng is serious this time.
He really knows he made a mistake.”
“I don’t believe you!”
“Darling, listen to me, Gu Xicheng he…”
I hung up before my best friend could finish.
I didn’t want to hear anything about him anymore.
I decided, I will forget him completely!
I turned off my phone, went to bed, and lay down.
I slept until the next morning. When I woke up, I felt much better.
I decided to live my life well.
I found a job at a coffee shop.
I dressed up nicely every day and worked happily.
I made many new friends, and my life was filled with sunshine again.
Until one day, I received a phone call.
“Miss Qin, do you have time right now?”
“I do, may I ask who this is?”
“I am Young Master Gu’s special assistant. Young Master Gu asked me to inform you that he has found you and wants to see you.”
My heart suddenly sank.
He actually found me!
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to see him.”
“Miss Qin, Young Master Gu said he sincerely wants to reconcile with you this time. He loves you very much.”
“I don’t want to hear it!”
I hung up the phone, trembling with anger.
He actually wants to reconcile with me!
Did he think I would still believe him!
I walked to the window and looked outside.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but my world was plunged into darkness.
I picked up my phone and called my best friend.
“Dear, Gu Xicheng found me!”
My best friend was very surprised.
“How did he find you?”
“I don’t know. He had his special assistant call me, saying he wanted to see me and reconcile!”
“Do you want to see him?”
“I don’t!”
“Dear, calm down. Gu Xicheng is serious this time. He truly knows he was wrong.”
“I don’t believe it!”
“Dear, listen to me, Gu Xicheng…”
I hung up before my best friend could finish.
I didn’t want to hear anything about him anymore.
I decided I would completely forget him!
I turned off my phone, went to bed, and lay down.
The next morning, I woke up and made myself a hearty breakfast.
After breakfast, I went to work at the coffee shop.
My life returned to peace.
But in my heart, there was always a knot.
Did Gu Xicheng really find me?
Did he really want to reconcile with me?
I didn’t know.
I didn’t want to know either.
I just wanted to live my life peacefully.
Until one day, I received a package.
Inside the package was a necklace.
The pendant was heart-shaped.
Engraved on the pendant were two letters: X C.
I recognized them as the initials of Gu Xicheng’s English name.
I picked up the necklace, and tears streamed down my face.
I walked to the window and looked outside.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but my world was plunged into darkness.
I picked up my phone and sent Gu Xicheng a WeChat message:
“Leave, I don’t want to see you again.”
I quickly received a reply:
“Wife, don’t be angry. I’ll leave immediately.”
I didn’t reply.
I turned off my phone, went to bed, and lay down.
That night, I had a dream. Gu Xicheng was holding me and gently kissing my forehead.
I woke up from the dream, drenched in sweat.
I went to the bathroom, washed my face, and looked at myself in the mirror.
My face was pale, and my eyes were bloodshot.
I decided I would completely forget him!
I threw the necklace into the trash can, went to bed, and lay down.
The next morning, I woke up and made myself a hearty breakfast.
After breakfast, I went to work at the coffee shop.
My life returned to peace.
Until one day, I received a phone call.
“Miss Qin, Young Master Gu is ill and wants to see you.”
My heart suddenly sank.
He’s ill!
“What’s wrong with him?”
“Young Master Gu has stomach cancer. It’s in the late stage.”
My vision went black.
Stomach cancer!
“Are, are you telling the truth?”
“It’s true, Miss Qin, Young Master Gu…”
I hung up before the special assistant could finish.
I rushed out of the coffee shop, hailed a taxi, and headed to Gu Xicheng’s house.
When I arrived at Gu Xicheng’s house, I saw his special assistant standing at the entrance.
The special assistant was stunned when he saw me.
“Miss Qin, you’re here!”
“Where, where is he?”
“Young Master Gu is in his room.”
I rushed into the room and saw Gu Xicheng lying in bed, his face pale and much thinner.
Seeing me, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“Wife, you’re here!”
I walked to the bedside, looked at him, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
“You, how did you become like this?”
“Wife, I’m sorry. I lied to you.”
“Why did you lie to me!”
“Wife, believe me, I…”
I didn’t let him finish before hugging him tightly.
“Gu Xicheng, you bastard, why did you do this to me!”
“Wife, I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
“What were you wrong about!”
“I shouldn’t have doubted you. I shouldn’t have lied to you.”
“Did, did you ever love that woman!”
“Wife, no, the only one I’ve ever loved is you!”
“Really?”
“Really, wife, believe me!”
“Then why did you tell me you were with her for three years!”
“Wife, that was just my special assistant’s female companion. I was drunk, and my special assistant took my phone…”
“Then, then what about that photo!”
“Wife, that photo was a picture of me with a female client. Someone deliberately framed me!”
“Who would frame you!”
“I don’t know, wife, please believe me, okay?”
I looked at him, my eyes filled with complexity.
“Wife, I know you hate me, but I’m really dying now. Can you forgive me?”
I couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears.
“Gu Xicheng, you bastard, how could you do this to me!”
“Wife, I’m sorry.”
“Gu Xicheng, why did you do this to me!”
“Wife, I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong.”
“You, why did you get stomach cancer!”
“Wife, don’t cry, I’m fine.”
“You’re lying! You’re dying!”
“Wife, don’t say foolish things, I won’t die.”
“You’re lying!”
“Wife, believe me, I will get better.”
“Gu Xicheng, you bastard, why did you do this to me!”
“Wife, I’m sorry.”
I hugged him, crying heartbrokenly and desperately.
Gu Xicheng held me tightly, apologizing repeatedly.
“Wife, don’t cry, I’m fine.”
“Gu Xicheng, you bastard, why did you do this to me!”
“Wife, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have lied to you.”
