Chapter 38: Finally, they got divorced!
Gu Zhiyao's body stiffened slightly, so she turned around and looked at him calmly, saying, "As I said before, seeing how perfect and aloof you are, it seems that no woman can catch your eye. I thought if I could have you and see if you were just as aloof and celibate when you were doing 'that', I would want to experience it. But after experiencing it, I found that it was a completely different experience from what I imagined. You are nothing special."
"Gu Zhiyao!" He Yi roared instinctively.
"Don't be angry. Maybe my standards are a bit high. I haven't tried other men, so I don't know exactly what to do. But all of that is in the past. I'm sorry for making you have such a past. Forget about it, and I'll forget about it too. Let's pretend we never met." Gu Zhiyao continued to say nonchalantly, but only she knew that her heart was bleeding.
He Yi was also in a very bad mood.
These past few days, whenever he had a moment of free time, his mind would uncontrollably flash back to that night when she resolutely protected the child, as if she would fight to the death with anyone who tried to take the child away!
"Mr. He, when do you have time, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. This marriage was never your choice in the first place. Now that I've agreed to end it early, you should be happy and eager, right?"
"Gu Zhiyao, do you really think I'll let you give birth to this child?" He Yi interrupted her.
Gu Zhiyao's heart skipped a beat again. She lowered her eyes and hesitated for a moment, then calmly said, "Yes, with your abilities, you can indeed take my child, and you can even make me disappear from this world without anyone noticing. But Mr. He, I'm not someone to be trifled with. Even if I die, I'll have a backup plan. Because of my marriage to you, Miss Zheng's relationship with you has already cracked. If she finds out I was pregnant with your child, what do you think she'll do? Will you two still be able to pretend nothing happened for the rest of your lives?"
Based on Ms. Zheng's personality, she definitely wouldn't. So why bother? Why let your happy life with Ms. Zheng turn into a lifetime of pain because of someone I'm not even related to? Ms. Zheng barely escaped death, and there's always a chance she might relapse in the future. If that happens, I can help you again. All I want is for my child to come into this world safely and have the right to enjoy his life like other children.”
"That's my child too!" He Yi roared.
Gu Zhiyao's pretty face froze slightly, then she smiled. "You admit he's your child? No, he was just an extra sperm that you accidentally left behind when you were punishing me in your own way. You never even considered his existence, so you have nothing to do with him. He's my child alone."
He Yi pursed his lips and stared intently at the woman in front of him.
"Mr. He, I'm leaving."
The moment Gu Zhiyao stepped out of the door, her feigned strength and composure vanished. She quickly leaned against the wall to steady her swaying body, took a deep breath, and continued walking into the elevator.
As the elevator numbers kept jumping, Gu Zhiyao's tears streamed down her face.
On Thursday, Gu Zhiyao was at work when she suddenly received a call from Quan Xinyu, asking if she had brought her household registration booklet. He Yi was preparing to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the divorce procedures.
In fact, since filing for divorce, Gu Zhiyao has been carrying her household registration book in her bag with her at all times, but hearing what Quan Xinyu said still broke her heart.
"Gu Zhiyao?" Quan Xinyu called out when he received no response.
"I brought it with me. When are we going?" Gu Zhiyao asked.
"Go now, wait for us in the underground parking garage."
"Ah."
Gu Zhiyao hung up the phone and pondered for a while. Zhong Jiahui happened to walk over and asked, "Sister Zhiyao, what's wrong?"
"I need to go get my passport sorted out, so I'll be going now. Please tell Sister An that she can call me if anything comes up here," Gu Zhiyao said, and began packing her things.
Zhong Jia Hui didn't suspect anything and replied, "Okay, I understand. Zhi Yao, please be careful on your way."
"Okay." Gu Zhiyao packed her things, left the office, and took the elevator directly to the underground parking garage.
Quan Xinyu was already waiting for her at the elevator entrance. He led her to a black Cayenne and opened the back door.
Gu Zhiyao bent down to get into the car, and then saw He Yi, and subconsciously stopped for a moment.
He Yi frowned and looked at her, as if to say, "Aren't you coming up?" Gu Zhiyao composed herself and straddled him.
Quan Xinyu was in charge of driving, and the car drove out of the garage.
The entire carriage was very quiet. The seats weren't narrow, but He Yi was tall, so when he sat down, Gu Zhiyao wasn't much closer to him. Gu Zhiyao subconsciously leaned towards the door, her face turned towards the outside.
Quan Xinyu secretly kept an eye on the situation in the back seat, his heart pounding slightly.
About twenty minutes later, we arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Looking at the prominent characters on the plaque of the office building, Gu Zhiyao naturally recalled the scene when she got her marriage certificate a month ago. At that time, she was very happy and excited, as if she had the whole world.
But in just one month...
Even the staff handling the paperwork were surprised to see that they were getting a divorce after only a little over a month of marriage. They instinctively asked, "Are you sure you want to get a divorce? Why don't you go back and think about it some more? That's how it is when couples are together. It's inevitable that there will be differences in ideas and behaviors. Sometimes it can feel pointless, but as long as you don't cross the line, you can give each other a chance."
He Yi frowned slightly. Gu Zhiyao understood that the staff member meant well and didn't want her to anger He Yi, so she said, "No need to consider it anymore. Thank you. We are not suitable. This marriage cannot continue. Please process the paperwork for us."
The staff still felt sorry, but seeing He Yi's cold and deep expression, they dared not say anything more, wondering if the woman had cheated on him.
But this girl doesn't seem like that kind of person.
So, is it a lack of harmony in your sex life?
Having worked in this field for many years, I have handled countless divorce cases, many of which were due to disharmony in our sex lives.
What a pity! This man is so good-looking and has such a great physique, yet he's all looks and no substance.
With a sigh, the staff completed the formalities and handed them the booklets, saying, "If you still want to remarry, come back to me anytime."
Gu Zhiyao pursed her lips, said thank you, and then stood up.
Quan Xinyu quickly went to He Yi's side.
He Yi held the divorce certificate in his hand and looked at Gu Zhiyao's belly.
Gu Zhiyao shuddered and instinctively sped up her run towards the main gate.
She stopped outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, staring blankly at her divorce certificate. Then she remembered her marriage certificate, the two documents alternating in her mind. Suddenly, her eyes stung and tears welled up.
Just then, a sharp pain shot through her stomach, and she couldn't help but squat down.
"What’s wrong with you."
A familiar voice called from above.
Gu Zhiyao looked up and saw Quan Xinyu, with He Yi standing next to him.
Yes, she was afraid He Yi would change his mind and keep the child, so she was in a hurry to leave him, while they were still behind her.
"Are you having an upset stomach? Should I call you a car?" Quan Xinyu continued to ask with concern.
Gu Zhiyao glanced at Quan Xinyu, then turned her gaze to He Yi. She reached out, wanting to touch him, but her hand seemed to be frozen in mid-air, unable to move at all.
Tears streamed down my face.
Quan Xinyu was even more puzzled.
Just then, He Yi called out, "Help her into the car."
Quan Xinyu immediately did as instructed, helping Gu Zhiyao to the back seat, and He Yi also got in, just like when they arrived.
