Chapter 75: Not answering the phone, aren't you afraid of making others anxious?

  Xiao Qian felt like he had been punched in the gut, extremely uncomfortable.

  Go in, get certified, handle everything smoothly.

  Once the divorce is formalized, this property division will take effect.

  Gu Yu signed her name on top and looked to the side, Xiao Qian had already finished signing with a flourish, a hint of bitterness rose in her heart.

  They are about to break up.

  Time is advancing bit by bit, as if it's slowly stripping away all the intimacy between them.

  Gu Yadan was often melancholic and sentimental, Xiao Qian remained silent behind her until they were about to leave, then said, "Give me a ride for a bit."

  Gu Yan turned around and looked at him, he walked a few steps closer, Gu Yan said, "You have a car yourself."

  Xiao Qian raised his wrist to show Gu Yu the time on his watch, "It's already this late, we've all arrived together, so why not have dinner together?"

  Gu Yu took a deep breath and watched as Xiao Qian directly opened her car door and got in.

  Gu Yu rolled her eyes and eventually got on the car.

  Xiao Qian looked at the restaurant in front of him and said, "Let's go, let's go over there."

  Gu Yu said, "I don't like eating Western food."

  Xiao Qian paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at Gu Yu, she had never mentioned any opinions before, nor had she ever said what she liked to eat or didn't like to eat.

  Xiao Qian heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head, but their parting was actually more sincere than before.

  "What's for dinner?"

  "If you want to eat with me, then eat what I like. Otherwise, you can leave first and I'll go eat by myself too. It's the last few days anyway, I won't force you." Gu Yu said sideways.

  Xiao Qian looked at Gu Yu's expressionless face and nodded, "Alright, alright, it's just a meal anyway. You say what to eat and we'll eat that."

  Xiao Qian wrapped her arms around her chest, leaning against the door, watching as Gu Yu stopped the car in front of a hot pot restaurant.

  Xiao Qian followed her out of the car, and she walked into the store with familiarity. The service staff at the door saw from a distance that the two people had arrived in a Porsche, so they were extremely warm and enthusiastic towards them, speaking softly and gently, and led the two to the upstairs. Although there were only two people, they still arranged for them to have a private room.

  The rest of them were making a racket downstairs, but the two of us were extremely quiet.

  Gu Yeman sat down carelessly, on a hot summer day eating hot pot, the air conditioner must be turned up high, blowing strongly against her. She bit her lower lip as she ordered, Xiao Qian looked at her from across the table, seeing Gu Yeman's face full of excitement and eagerness, he also felt a few degrees of anticipation.

  Before the dishes were served, he fiddled with things on the table and looked at Gu Yu, "Gu Yu, what have I done to offend you these past two days?"

  She rolled her eyes and looked at him, those eyebrows that should have been charming now had a few hints of annoyance, as if they were opened with effort, the lazy look made her even more enchanting.

  "No, have I ever said you've offended me?" Gu Yu looked at him strangely.

  "What attitude is this towards me now?" Xiao Qian stared at her, as if there was no answer, and would not give up.

  Gu Yu said, "I'm quite normal towards you, Xiao Qian. I think it's not that there's anything wrong with me, but rather you're being a bit too sensitive."

  Xiao Qian hesitated for a moment.

  Is he too sensitive?

  She narrowed her eyes and stared at Gu Yu, but Gu Yu simply picked up the cup with a calm and collected expression, looking so natural that it was impossible to find any fault.

  Xiao Qian looked on one side, his thoughts slowly calmed down, no longer thinking about those unnecessary things, and also felt that he might have gone too far.

  Is it because we're about to break up that I've become overly concerned with her, so now I'm extremely sensitive to her every move?

  He leaned back in his chair, calming himself down, and looked at Gu Yu across the table. "I guess I've been a bit off these past few days," he said. "There's been a lot on my mind, and I wanted to be able to part ways with you amicably, so I'm more sensitive than usual."

  She pursed her lips, "I know, it's okay, I understand."

  Xiao Qian looked her up and down, thought for a moment, then asked, "Have you informed your family?"

  Gu Yan knew he was referring to the divorce.

  Shaking her head, she said, "It's the same whether we talk about it later or not. Don't you want the divorce to be settled quickly and smoothly, rather than making things more complicated? My family still doesn't know, if they find out, they'll definitely ask questions again, who knows what will happen then? You forgot that I listened to you and told Grandpa, didn't something happen after that?"

  Xiao Qian raised an eyebrow and said, "Grandfather, don't worry about it, this person is stubborn and old-fashioned."

  No matter how many times I told him, it's useless. Let's just go through the formalities, and once the rice is cooked, he won't be able to take it back."

  Gu Yu heard him say that and almost laughed. He also knew that his grandfather was stubborn and old-fashioned, but he was not much different from his grandfather.

  Xiao Qian said, "At first, I didn't say let me get married like this, otherwise, how could there be today's situation?"

  "Are you not firm enough in your stance?"

  Xiao Qian looked at Gu Yei, "I agreed initially because I remembered that when we first met, you seemed like a nice girl. At least you were well-behaved and understood things, being a scholarship winner and an excellent student who only knew how to study every day. I thought you should be a quiet person."

  Gu Yu looked at Xiao Qian with a face of indifference, "That's your own misunderstanding."

  "But at the beginning, we only met a few times, and you didn't show anything unusual back then." Xiao Qian thought about it many times later, wondering why he had misjudged her. The Gu Yao after marriage, and even now, was completely different from the girl he had imagined, leaving him shocked.

  Perhaps it was because of this that he hated Gu Yu even more, feeling that she had exceeded his expectations and given him a surprisingly unexpected married life.

  "Is that your own blindness? You shouldn't blame me for it."

  Xiao Qian looked at Gu Yan, and for a moment, he was speechless.

  That's right, he was blind, but he couldn't hate himself, so he could only transfer this anger to her.

  Gu Yan said, "Fortunately, it's not too late now, you're about to be liberated soon."

  Gu Yu said, looking at the dishes that had quickly been served, the steaming hot pot was a charcoal fire pot. B city liked this kind of pot, with charcoal in the middle and things arranged around it in a circle, like a nine-grid pot, which was what southerners ate. She liked pots like this, especially when paired with sesame sauce for dipping.

  Gu Yu was eating vegetables, looking very enjoyable, stuffing them into her mouth in big bites, with a circle of sesame sauce on her lips.

  She was no longer at home, nor did she need to follow the rules. She casually rolled up her sleeves and spread her legs wide apart, looking like a female hooligan.

  Xiao Qian ate slowly and neatly, looking at her and shaking his head.

  Gu Yu flipped through the things inside and glared at Xiao Qian, "Hey, where did all my golden needle mushrooms go? Did you eat them all?"

  Xiao Qian furrowed his brow and said, "Who eats that stuff? Don't you know what it's called? Seeyoutoorro. How can you swallow it today and then pull it out tomorrow?"

  "Gu Yan's eyes widened as she stared at Xiao Qian, 'Are you doing this on purpose? Are you going to let people eat in peace or not?'"

  Xiao Qian smiled and said, "What I said wasn't true."

  "Get out, you're deliberately coming to annoy me!" Gu Yu glared at Xiao Qian with a pale face, holding chopsticks and waving them at him.

  Xiao Qian simply narrowed his eyes, looking at Gu Yu, the smoke rising from the hot pot slowly enveloped Gu Yu in a thin layer of gauze, making her appear hazy and indistinct. Her smile was also hazy. There were only two people in the room, she didn't care about anything else, as she waved her arms, her collar trembled slightly.

  Xiao Qian recalled the first time he saw Gu Yu, she stood in front of him with a honest and simple demeanor, wearing her school uniform, looking like a real lady.

  He really didn't know how a woman like her could be first in every subject during university and have such terrifying good grades.

  In the blink of an eye, it's been almost ten years since we met and got married.

  Gu Yu swept past Xiao Qian, he seemed to be thinking about something, looking ahead, lost in thought.

  How many years has it been since they had a good meal outside?

  If they had been like this in the past, being more considerate of each other, so that they could live in peace, eat well, chat happily, tease and joke with each other, wouldn't their marriage have turned out differently today?

  Unfortunately, they can't turn back and walk through it again, they are about to get divorced soon.

  Why, in the end, are you willing to give each other a little more patience?

  She closed her eyes, thinking to herself that she wasn't the one in his heart after all. They were wrong from the start and could only go further down the wrong path. The current outcome was just a result of piling mistake upon mistake.

  Gu Yan looked at Xiao Qian, just about to speak when Xiao Qian's phone rang.

  Xiao Qian's gaze flickered towards the phone on the table, and the name flashing on it made him pause for a moment.

  It's Lu Qinghuan.

  unwillingly

  She glanced at Gu Yu beside her, who was also narrowing her eyes to look, the distance was just right, she could see the name clearly.

  It seemed like Xiao Qian hadn't moved for a long time. She bit her lip and smiled, "If you don't hurry up and accept it, she might get angry."

  The most beautiful words are those left unspoken.

  The promise lies in our forgetting
