Chapter 25

Zhu Suisui didn’t know why.

They were discussing divorce.

How did they end up talking about this?

It was clear that Lu Lanxu took the matter of his performance very seriously.

Zhu Suisui suddenly realized.

Men were all the same.

Even someone as perfect as Lu Lanxu couldn’t accept his wife saying he wasn’t good enough.

Zhu Suisui said irritably, “If you keep talking like this, we can’t talk.”

“Then we won’t talk. It’s getting late, if we’re delayed on the road, father and mother might worry.” Lu Lanxu directly agreed with her.

Zhu Suisui frowned.

She stared at him, pursed her lips and said, “What about the divorce? I’m serious, I’m not joking with you.”

“Yeah, I know.”

Lu Lanxu saw her beautiful brows furrowed like that, he couldn’t help but reach out and smooth them out.

His fingertips were warm.

There was a faint smell of tobacco, not unpleasant.

Zhu Suisui was stunned.

Lu Lanxu explained, “You’re beautiful today, so don’t frown, it’ll give you wrinkles. After all, you’re still so young, right? Wrinkles are not good.”

Zhu Suisui: “…”

He was treating her like a child and coaxing her!

She was annoyed, “What about you? You’re still smoking, you’re already older, if you keep smoking, your performance might be even worse.”

Zhu Suisui, in the past, was always cautious, shy, and self-conscious.

It was rare to see her so sharp-tongued like today, she could make someone speechless with a single sentence.

But.

Lu Lanxu thought it was great.

It was better than before, she was lively like this.

So Lu Lanxu wasn’t unhappy at all.

He even nodded in agreement, “I’ll try to quit from now on, I’ll try to improve our marital quality.”

Zhu Suisui: “…”

She turned her head away, not wanting to talk to this man.

Seeing that she was really angry, Lu Lanxu stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her, and said in a low voice, “I can change all the things you said, you can’t just give me no chance and sentence me to death.

Suisui, we’re husband and wife, the closest people in the world. If you want anything else, I can try my best to do it for you. But you suddenly said you wanted a divorce, I really can’t agree to that.”

Zhu Suisui enjoyed this moment of warmth.

But she remembered her previous life, it was still vivid in her mind.

She didn’t want to go down the same path.

She didn’t want to be reborn and still be so spineless, still be love-brained.

Could she not live without a man?

Zhu Suisui felt that if she really continued like this, she would deserve whatever happened to her.

She pushed Lu Lanxu away, staring into his eyes, “What if you can’t change? What if you can’t change, will you agree to divorce me?”

Lu Lanxu really didn’t want to hear those two words, especially coming from Zhu Suisui’s mouth.

But this time, he understood that Zhu Suisui was determined.

She didn’t want to live with him anymore.

She didn’t want him anymore.

If he didn’t agree to her now, Lu Lanxu felt that Zhu Suisui wouldn’t give up on this idea.

She might even be more disappointed in him.

He could only stall for time now.

Thinking about this.

Lu Lanxu nodded, “I will definitely change.”

Zhu Suisui sneered, “Maybe not.”

Seeing her say this, Lu Lanxu didn’t argue with her, he pursed his lips and said, “But I really can’t do anything about my work, but if you’re willing, you can come with me.”

This meant joining the army.

Lu Lanxu would never have brought this up before, because the camp where he was stationed was basically on the border, life there was hard, the supplies and medical care were far inferior to the capital, if she went there, Zhu Suisui probably wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Plus, even if she joined the army, he wouldn’t have time to spend with Zhu Suisui every day.

She would have to take care of her own food, clothing, and daily necessities.

Here, at least someone would take care of Zhu Suisui, there were so many people in the Lu family, whether for his sake or for the old man’s sake, they wouldn’t make Zhu Suisui suffer in terms of living conditions.

If it had been her previous life, Zhu Suisui would have been overjoyed to hear this.

No matter where they went.

As long as she could follow Lu Lanxu, she would be a hundred percent willing.

But now.

Zhu Suisui wasn’t willing anymore.

She had just been reborn, she had foresight into the future, and she had gained a special ability, she was just thinking about how she could make a name for herself.

If she just followed Lu Lanxu to join the army, wouldn’t she become the same Zhu Suisui without a self?

After being reborn.

She understood more things.

There were many things in this world that she wanted to do.

Why did so many people think she wasn’t worthy of Lu Lanxu? It was because she didn’t have any shining points.

She didn’t even have a self.

She only wanted to be a good Mrs. Lu.

Depending on a man, what good outcome could there be?

She was lucky, even though Lu Lanxu didn’t love her, he was still responsible for her.

But that didn’t mean that her desire to be Mrs. Lu was right, a woman without a career, only a man, was useless.

Zhu Suisui didn’t want to be a love-brained waste anymore.

She said lightly, “I don’t need you to change anything about your work, you’re protecting the country, I understand, so don’t worry, I won’t want to join the army with you.”

Lu Lanxu frowned slightly, he found these words jarring.

But he didn’t want to argue with her over these details, so he said, “Then in other areas, if you think I haven’t done well, I’ll do better.”

Zhu Suisui glanced at him, “Whatever.”

Divorce required the consent of both parties, Zhu Suisui couldn’t persuade Lu Lanxu, and so she could only leave things as they were.

Moreover, she felt that Lu Lanxu couldn’t change.

Even if he could for a short time, he wouldn’t be able to sustain it in the long run.

Zhu Suisui thought.

Later, when Lu Lanxu found her demands more and more excessive, maybe she would be the one to bring up divorce.

Lu Lanxu didn’t say anything else, but he raised his wrist and looked at the time.

“It’s getting late, let’s go home.”

Zhu Suisui responded nonchalantly.

Lu Lanxu got out of the backseat and went back to the driver’s seat.

The car started driving again.

When they reached the Lu family’s residence, Zhu Suisui got out of the car and went inside.

The walk from the car to the house was particularly cold.

Zhu Suisui wrapped her coat tighter, it was almost eleven o’clock now, and there was only one light left on in the yard.

Jiao Shanyun and the others had already gone home.

They were all asleep now.

Zhu Suisui went inside, the warmth of the heated floor greeted her, she quickly took off her clothes, leaving only a tight woolen skirt.

As soon as she finished.

Lu Lanxu, who had parked the car, came in.

He saw this scene.

This woolen skirt was one he had chosen for Zhu Suisui before their marriage, she hadn’t worn it in a long time.

Seeing her wearing it now.

It felt completely different from last year.

If Zhu Suisui last year had still had a bit of childishness, like an unripe persimmon.

Then she had quietly transformed into a mature woman with a curvy figure and graceful movements, every move was charming and seductive.

Yet she still had a natural innocence, somewhere between a girl and a young woman, blending these two feelings perfectly, naturally.

Like a juicy and sweet peach, fragrant and rich.

Then he remembered.

Zhu Suisui had said that he was old and not very good.

Lu Lanxu’s eyes suddenly darkened.
