After seeing how An Shaosi had treated Yang Xi, Gu Ruochu knew that Huo Nanchen could be just as brutal.
Gu Ruochu had often heard the saying that birds of a feather flocked together. For Huo Nanchen to be close friends with An Shaosi, it was reasonable to assume that they shared the same traits.
Huo Nanchen laughed when he heard Gu Ruochu's bold statement. He looked at her and sneered.
"Ruochu, I'm disappointed that you think of me that way. I'm not that ruthless. If I wanted to kill Xu Yichen, I would have already done it."
Huo Nanchen's expression remained indifferent as he uttered the cold words.
Gu Ruochu was disappointed by Huo Nanchen's attitude.
She lowered her head, and a trace of coldness appeared in her eyes. The progress they had made in their relationship seemed to have disappeared overnight.
Gu Ruochu could not afford to gamble on her safety anymore.
She was no longer the Bai Qi, the music god who could protect her family and friends. She was just Gu Ruochu. A defenseless and weak woman with a complicated background.
However, even in her weak body, Gu Ruochu still had her own means of protection.
"Then what do you want? I've already made the call. What do you want now?" Gu Ruochu met Huo Nanchen's gaze once again. At that moment, they both froze, and their eyes lingered as they stared at each other.
Huo Nanchen's tone was a little tense as he called her gently, "Ruochu."
All of a sudden, his phone rang.
"Who is it?"
"Who do you think it is?" Huo Nanchen looked at Gu Ruochu timidly. It was as if he was trying to hide the identity of the caller.
Gu Ruochu got up and slowly walked towards him. When he turned around, she suddenly grabbed his phone and looked at his call history. It was indeed Ning Tangxi who had called him.
"Ruochu, hand over my phone!" Huo Nanchen frowned as he looked at her.
"I won't!"
Gu Ruochu stood still and held his phone tightly.
"Ruochu, you've lost your cool. Do you want to shed all pretense of cordiality with me just because of Xu Yichen?" Huo Nanchen put one hand in his pocket and said calmly, "Be a good girl and hand over my phone."
"Huo Nanchen, since you think that I've shed all pretense of cordiality with you, I think we should break up." Gu Ruochu spoke in a light tone. She even had a smile on her face.
"Gu Ruochu!" Huo Nanchen's forehead twitched, and his eyes bulged out. "I have told you that I won't get a divorce. Ruochu, are you sure that you can get rid of me?"
Huo Nanchen took a few steps forward and approached Gu Ruochu in an imposing manner.
"That's right. You only rely on my weakness and lack of ability!" Gu Ruochu took a few steps back, and a faint smile appeared on her face. "Huo Nanchen, you think that I'm just a kind and obedient woman. We've been married for so long, but you still don't know me very well. If I were to be ruthless, you wouldn't like it!"
Gu Ruochu wanted to keep Huo Nanchen in the room for as long as possible. She was trying her best to stall him so that Xu Yichen would leave Nan Cheng.
With Rong Xiao's help, Xu Yichen would definitely escape from Huo Nanchen's grasp.
"Is that so?" Huo Nanchen looked at Gu Ruochu intensely. Even though most women were obedient, he knew that Gu Ruochu had a fierce and strong personality.
"Ruochu, come back to the country with me."
"Back to the country for a divorce?" Gu Ruochu replied casually.
