Gu Ruochu used her acting skills to disguise her emotions. Huo Nanchen had always been good at reading her emotions. However, he could not tell that her aura had changed.
She felt used. He had tricked her into loving him.
This man was really too terrifying.
Huo Nanchen hugged her and thought that she was being clingy and did not want to let go. He laughed softly and said, "Do you want to stay with me a little longer?"
Her heart was racing, and she averted her gaze by looking out the window.
"If I don't go to the office, Rong Xiao will probably kill me. It's almost eight o'clock." Gu Ruochu retracted her gaze and smiled. "Hubby, let me go."
"All right."
He let go of her but did not notice the dejected look in her eyes when she turned around. At that moment, Gu Ruochu's heart was aching.
"Mmm."
When Gu Ruochu listened to Huo Zirui and An Duo's conversation at the dining table, she initially thought that they were fools and wanted to use some nonsense to sow discord between Huo Nanchen and her.
Now, she realized that she was the biggest fool of all.
Nevertheless, Gu Ruochu silently vowed to reclaim her dignity. She wouldn't be so foolish in the future. She wouldn't be fooled again.
She pushed open the car door and rushed to her office. Huo Nanchen's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. He now felt that something was off, but he could not put his finger on it.
Gu Ruochu never thought that her subordinates would have to draw up another divorce agreement. Huo Nanchen had torn up the first divorce agreement that she had presented to him and thrown it in the trash.
This time, she closed her office door and typed each word before personally printing out the divorce paper.
She was sentimental as she looked at the divorce agreement she had prepared.
Gu Ruochu read it again, and a heart-wrenching pain struck her heart. If he gave her forty days to move out, she would leave without bothering anyone.
She had once thought that she would be with Huo Nanchen for the rest of her life. However, she had long passed the age of being willful and frivolous. She could no longer afford to be tormented.
She was tired of being used.
Gu Ruochu picked up the pen on the table and signed her name on the divorce papers one stroke at a time.
The last stroke was followed by a teardrop. After she signed it, she hid the divorce agreement in her desk's drawer and locked it.
Her heart was shattered into pieces, and she started to cry.
Huo Nanchen had not lived up to her expectations, but even now, she was still crying for him.
"Since you're already crying, why did you sign the papers?" Xu Yichen's voice rang out quietly. Gu Ruochu hurriedly reached out to wipe the tears in her eyes.
She turned around and saw him standing calmly with his hands in his trouser pockets.
"Yichen, you have no idea how lucky I am, I now see everything clearly." Gu Ruochu's voice was hoarse, but it was filled with determination. "It was just a dream."
Xu Yichen did not say a word and only sighed softly.
"..."
Downstairs in the Royal Road's parking lot, Yang Xi proudly stepped out of her Lamborghini in a pair of red, sky-high heels. Everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
Yang Xi had always wanted to visit Gu Ruochu at her new company.
"Yo, Master An, I can't believe you're here."
An Shaosi looked at her beautiful, arrogant, and willful face. There was no hint of gloom in it.
