There was no emotion in the man's voice, but there was unquestionable determination.
Gu Nian's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened, and she didn't react for a moment.
But she clearly felt that the throbbing in her heart, which was originally like a tidal wave, receded completely in an instant, and that weakly lit lighthouse...
Collapsed suddenly.
So, did Lu Shiqian still choose Si Xue after having a relationship with her?
So what does everything that happened last night count?
Drinking and having sex?
Or should she regard that as the final gift given to her by this marriage?
Gu Nian laughed to herself. Only at this moment did she realize that she had always had expectations for this marriage. Even a second before the phone call, she was still hoping that Lu Shiqian would say something to her.
And now...it's all over.
She swallowed the sourness, tried her best to sound sensible and calm, and said restrainedly: "Isn't the household registration with dad? You said before..."
"No." Lu Shiqian interrupted her coldly, "The household registration booklet has always been with me."
When Gu Nian heard this answer, she felt that her heartbeat was blank for two seconds. She bit her lip and said something with difficulty -
"Okay, I'll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau later."
After the words fell, she hung up the phone, not wanting to hear any more of his voice.
Gu Nian sat on the bed in a daze, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
It's really ridiculous and sad. It turns out that the household registration book has always been with Lu Shiqian.
Then why did he lie to her again when they were talking about divorce?
Is it because the relationship with Si Xue was still unstable at that time?
Oh, then she, Gu Nian, is really a complete fool!
Lu Shiqian's tone just now was so firm on divorce, leaving no room for maneuver.
In this case, why should she hesitate?
Gu Nian rolled over and got out of bed, feeling the discomfort after last night's torment.
It's nothing, just treat it as...
Got bitten by a dog!
She carefully picked out a dress and quickly put on decent makeup.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Gu Nian showed a self-deprecating smile and turned around to go out.
At noon, hospital.
Lu Shiqian was about to get out of the parking lot after changing his clothes. As soon as he left the hospital corridor, he bumped into Si Xue who came to see him.
"Shi Qian."
At this moment, Si Xue's face was radiant. From the moment she saw him, there was a bit of shyness on her face, "Are you going out?"
"Yeah." Lu Shiqian looked at her, his emotions not ups and downs, "I have business matters to deal with."
One honest sentence is enough to explain everything.
Si Xue did not expose it, but said very considerately: "Then will you come back and have dinner with me in the afternoon? I know a store that makes good health soups."
Lu Shiqian wanted to refuse, but after thinking about what happened last night, he seemed to have no reason to refuse Si Xue. Even in the future... he should stay with her.
"Well, I'll call you when I finish my work."
The sweetness on Si Xue's face was not concealed at all, "Okay."
Looking at the man's leaving figure, the smile on Si Xue's face showed a hint of determination.
Is Lu Shiqian going to divorce Gu Nian?
Just because of that temperament, if you are so strong, you will definitely not take the initiative to talk about what happened last night.
They...will definitely get divorced!
…
When Gu Nian arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lu Shiqian had not arrived yet.
She stood waiting by the flower bed at the door, and then laughed to herself.
Why is this scene so familiar? Wasn't it like this last time?
She waited for him, but he didn't come.
But this time, my mood was completely different.
She clearly realized that this marriage that she fell in love with alone was nothing more than a dream and it should end.
When Lu Shiqian drove over, he saw Gu Nian standing on the steps from a distance.
The breeze blew gently, lifting the hair on her shoulders and the hem of her white skirt, creating a different kind of purity that was unique to her.
Just like when we first met.
Lu Shiqian felt his heart was hit unexpectedly, and then fell silent quickly.
He parked the car, then got off his legs and walked towards Gu Nian...
"You've been waiting for a long time?"
Gu Nian looked at the man approaching in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He was so calm, and his tone of voice was like chatting with an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
But it was clear that she and he were still so intimate last night...
She suppressed the pain in her heart, followed his example, and replied calmly: "No, I just arrived a while ago."
Lu Shiqian's lacquer-like eyes became more intense in the sunlight. He lowered his voice and asked, "Have you brought your marriage certificate?"
"……Um."
Gu Nian didn't want to stand here and talk to him. She always felt that she was always at a disadvantage, so she took the lead and walked inside, saying: "Let's go in quickly, the staff will get off work soon."
Lu Shiqian looked at her turned back, his thin lips pursed slightly, and there was a hint of deepness between his brows.
In the end, without saying anything, he walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
I don’t know whether it’s because the divorce rate has dropped recently or because today’s weather is bad, but in short there are very few people coming to get divorced.
There was only one couple lined up in front of them, both of whom looked to be about forty years old.
Gu Nian sat on the chair and her eyes fell on the two people who were going through the formalities.
That couple...
There was no communication between them, and they seemed to understand each other tacitly. The staff also answered questions in their own way.
Gu Nian felt that this state was very similar to her usual state with Lu Shiqian, who seemed to be inseparable.
Thinking about it this way, she felt calmer.
Lu Shiqian sat next to her, with a seat in between.
He also noticed that the person in front of him who was going through the formalities had his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed and his eyes were deep, not knowing what he was thinking.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the corners of Gu Nian's mouth that seemed to have a faint arc. Was she smiling?
Is she finally free?
"I'll give you the house you live in now and the card I gave you before."
Lu Shiqian suddenly spoke, and Gu Nian was in a trance for a moment.
She turned her head and glanced at him, and then realized what he meant. She shook her head, "No, I don't want your things."
"I promised Dean Gu that I would take care of you." Lu Shiqian's eyes were unclear, "He will only feel relieved if you live well."
"I said no."
Hearing him talk about his father, Gu Nian felt that this marriage was even more ridiculous. He couldn't help but emphasize his tone, "I'm not a useless person. I can't live without you."
Lu Shiqian stared at her and did not look away for a long time.
Too.
Now that the man is back, how will she live a bad life?
I really wanted to leave him early so that I could move in with Huo Huaijin, right?
Neither of them spoke anymore, and soon it was their turn.
The process went surprisingly smoothly.
Take a single photo and fill in two pieces of information.
Then there's the divorce agreement.
Gu Nian read every item and every word carefully.
It was as if she was looking at her marriage over the past few years and her relationship with Lu Shiqian.
At this moment, everything turned into ashes in these cold fonts.
The pain in her heart could not be suppressed, but she could only endure it.
She held the pen tightly and signed her name without hesitation for a long time.
Lu Shiqian sat aside, frowning slightly and never letting go.
He watched Gu Nian sign and couldn't tell what he was feeling at this moment...
