Chapter 22: Do You Mean Divorce?

Sensing Gu Yan Zhi’s tense body, Ruan Yu gently patted his back, softly saying, “Yan Zhi Ge Ge, promise me, if you ever encounter something related to A-Yu again, calm down and think first, be rational like you are at work, okay?”

Ruan Yu knew that people only get flustered and lost when dealing with someone important to them. But if this continued, it would affect their relationship.

There were still many uncertainties between them, and she couldn’t say what would happen. At least now, there were two nasty women who were eyeing her, hoping she wouldn’t be happy.

When she saw the photos on Gu Yan Zhi’s phone, she knew who was behind it, but she needed to comfort him first. She didn’t have time to deal with the mastermind behind this, but there would be plenty of opportunities later.

“I promise you.” Gu Yan Zhi’s eyes darkened slightly. He also clearly understood that he had lost his mind this time, unjustly accusing his little girl without any evidence. “If it happens again, Yan Zhi Ge Ge will let you go.”

He had never wronged Ruan Yu before, it was only after she changed that he became flustered. Although he was happy about her change, he also started to feel uneasy.

He was afraid that in the blink of an eye, when he woke up, she would become the one who disliked him again, or that she had achieved some scheme and would break up with him, or that she would run away with someone else.

“Do you mean divorce?” Ruan Yu looked up from his arms, her misty eyes filled with a hint of anger.

She knew Gu Yan Zhi felt guilty, but she never expected him to say such a thing.

Gu Yan Zhi didn’t say anything, which was tantamount to admitting it. Seeing him remain silent, Ruan Yu’s eyes reddened with anger, “Gu Yan Zhi, whether you believe it or not, I will never leave you in this lifetime.”

After saying that, she left him standing there alone, turned around and went back to her room, her own bedroom.

She closed the door and couldn’t help but sob, her heart ached. She thought that Gu Yan Zhi would never let her leave in this lifetime, but now, because of this little thing, he wanted her to leave.

The fear and grievance in the basement, plus the pain in her heart now, turned into tears. Ruan Yu threw herself onto the bed, burying herself under the covers, sobbing.

This man was so bad, before, when she desperately wanted to escape, he wouldn’t let her go, now, she had finally recognized her true feelings, but this man actually said that he would let her go if it happened again.

Gu Yan Zhi stood at the door, staring at Ruan Yu’s disappearing figure, his hand clenched at his side, then released, then clenched again, then released, repeating this cycle.

He didn’t know how long he stood there before he finally took heavy steps into the Gu residence.

As he went up the stairs, Gu Yan Zhi saw Ruan Yu with red eyes, carrying a pile of clothes and a big brown bear, walking towards his bedroom.

Ruan Yu stopped and glanced at Gu Yan Zhi, she snorted coldly, arrogantly raising her chin, “Don’t try to get rid of me.”

Then she ignored Gu Yan Zhi and went straight to his bedroom, putting the clothes in the closet.

She came out of Gu Yan Zhi’s bedroom, ready to go back to her own bedroom to continue moving things, when she found Gu Yan Zhi still standing at the foot of the stairs, she snorted coldly again when she walked to him, ignoring him.

Gu Yan Zhi’s hoarse voice came from behind, “Do you need help?”

“No.” Ruan Yu stopped, turned around and looked at him, “What are you doing, Mr. Gu? Didn’t you just want to clear things up with me?”

Ruan Yu raised her eyebrows at him, still a little angry.

Gu Yan Zhi cautiously stepped forward, tentatively reaching out, seeing that she didn’t resist, he gently hugged the girl in his arms and comforted her.

It was more like he needed her warmth to comfort his own flustered heart, “A-Yu, hug me.”

Hearing his hoarse voice, Ruan Yu couldn’t bear it, she hugged him back, “Gu Yan Zhi, can you try to trust me a little more in the future, just a little.”

Gu Yan Zhi hummed, “I trust A-Yu.”

Gu Yan Zhi helped Ruan Yu move her things from her bedroom to his bedroom.

“Have you found out who sent those photos?” Ruan Yu lay in Gu Yan Zhi’s arms, she didn’t need to guess to know who was behind it, knowing Gu Yan Zhi, he wouldn’t let the person who sent the photos go.

“I’ve already asked Yang Feng to handle it.” Gu Yan Zhi’s voice was very faint, with a hint of anger that was almost imperceptible.

Ruan Yu hummed, she would leave it to Gu Yan Zhi to handle, she would just be a little woman in his arms.

Ruan Yu was a little tired, she nestled in Gu Yan Zhi’s arms and fell fast asleep. That night, Gu Yan Zhi didn’t bother her anymore.

Gu Yan Zhi held the little thing in his arms, his eyes filled with deep affection as he looked at her, he didn’t sleep all night, he didn’t know what he was thinking.

In the morning, Ruan Yu was woken up by a noise downstairs. When she woke up, the spot beside her was cold.

She opened her sleepy eyes, and there was a knock on the door, Tang Ma’s voice came from outside, “Miss, Madam wants to see you.”

The Madam Tang Ma was referring to was Gu Yan Zhi’s mother. Gu Yan Zhi lost his father when he was very young, his mother ran the company, taking care of the young Gu Yan Zhi while facing ambitious shareholders.

After Gu Yan Zhi inherited the company, his mother stopped taking care of the company’s business. After t.z Group was handed over to Gu Yan Zhi, it developed better and better, and now it has an unshakable position.

Madam Gu was not someone to be trifled with, she wouldn’t visit without a reason. This time she came, Ruan Yu had a bad feeling.

She quickly washed up, put on her clothes, and saw Madam Gu sitting on the sofa, elegant and with a regal air, her face was full of collagen, showing no signs of age.

All the servants in the Gu residence were called to the hall, all of them lowered their heads and said nothing.

The woman on the sofa gracefully and calmly took a sip of coffee, but she couldn’t hide the pressure she exuded. Ruan Yu was stunned for a moment, she walked over and stood in front of her, smiling politely, “Auntie.”

Jiang Shiqing glanced at Ruan Yu lightly, she didn’t beat around the bush, she pushed the documents and photos on the table towards her, “Take a look.”

Her voice was very faint, so faint that she couldn’t hear any emotion in her words.

Ruan Yu looked at the documents on the table, she had a bad feeling.

She picked up the documents on the table and started to look through them. When she saw the contents, she was stunned for a moment. The documents listed all the things she had done to hurt Gu Yan Zhi before she was reborn, accurate to the time, including the three times she ran away with other men and failed.

Next to it were photos of her holding hands with other men.

“Tell me, what’s going on? You better give me a reasonable explanation.” Jiang Shiqing put down the coffee in her hand, her indifferent gaze fell on Ruan Yu’s face.
