ngs have been a bit off lately. No matter what I say, just keep it to yourself and don't make me angry, okay""I know."His tone was still as flat as ever, and his expression remained unchanged.He inexp...This rain came as a complete surprise.

Ji Xia leaned against the window, her gaze, somewhat dim due to the rain-streaked glass, fixed on the doorway.

Gu Jin had been married for two years, this was the second time he stepped into this room. The first time was on their wedding day, he hadn't even shown up at the ceremony, leaving Ji Xiaodai, who was the bride, alone facing a crowd of guests.

A light flashed across the window, and a black SUV slowly drove into the villa.

Ji Xiao tidied her appearance in front of the mirror, then quickly ran downstairs and sat politely on the sofa waiting.

As the footsteps outside grew closer, his heart pounded in his chest. With the sound of the doorknob turning, Ji Xiaozhang clutched the corner of something tightly.

Over the past two years, they had only met a handful of times. And each time, in his arms was another person.

That person he would rather run away from his wedding to protect.

"You know why I'm here, right"

Gu Jin merely glanced at Ji Xia who was sitting listlessly on the sofa, her voice cold and lacking emotion.

Ji Xiaohummed in response, her gaze falling on the man's upper body, only to quickly shift away after a moment.

He had the scent of the outside air on him, along with a pleasant tobacco aroma.

Two years ago, in a car accident, Gu Jin's father died heroically while saving Qi Xiaozun's father. Qi Xiaozun obeyed her father's wish and married Gu Jin.

At that time, everyone knew Gu Jinyin had someone she loved. Yet, she stubbornly agreed to this marriage, not just for her father's wish, but also for her own selfish reasons.

But this marriage that came about, has it truly reached its end.

"Paying your mother's medical bills is something I should do, but..." Gu Jin paused, leaning back on the sofa. His deep, wild black eyes seemed to be able to see right through someone's soul: "You know what I want."

Ji Xiao's gaze fell on Gu Jin's hand, a faint smile blooming on her lips.

On the slender fingers was a ring, one that had been purchased by Master Gu at an auction two months prior from a magazine he’d seen. The set of wedding bands were bought for a hefty price at a gala event.

No wonder he was so eager to call back, all he wanted was to give his loved one a title as soon as possible.

"I agree to the divorce."

Ji Xiao flipped open the document taken from her bag, its edges crumpled from being folded, and moved it from the tea table to Gu Jin's face. "I've already signed the divorce agreement," she said, "take a look."

Gu Jin's deep gaze finally landed on Ji Xia, lingering for a long time before slowly shifting to the divorce agreement in front of him. He stared at the elegant and flowing script, his brow furrowed.

"Tomorrow I will inform the lawyer to discuss the details with you. Feel free to raise any requirements you have, what belongs to you, I won't take a penny." He looked at Ji Xiao, who was still a bit reserved, and spoke.

Ji Xiaowu nodded slightly, "Thank you, you've already cleared my mother's medical expenses, that's enough. I don't have anything else I want."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Gu Jinhe put the divorce agreement in his hand heavily on the tea table.

A Qing has always wanted to see you. Tomorrow, come with me to meet her." He said, raising his eyes to look at Ji Xiao's face, "When you're pregnant, be careful what you say."

"Alright." Qi Xiaoshun replied obediently.

"Things have been a bit off lately. No matter what I say, just keep it to yourself and don't make me angry, okay"

"I know."

His tone was still as flat as ever, and his expression remained unchanged.

He inexplicably became very irritable.

"

Slap—

"

It was the sound of him kicking over the tea table with his foot.

Ji Xiao was a little surprised, but she still hurriedly stood up and picked up the bag by her side. "Then I'll go back first. When will we meet Miss Shen tomorrow Please let me know."

A chill went through me, but I still plastered on a smile and hurried to the door. As I opened it, a man's voice came from behind.

"Stay over tonight."

Ji Xiao suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking back at the man with a hint of surprise. The light was dim, and his expression was unclear.

"It's raining heavily outside, and it's impossible to drive. If something happens out there, won't they pester me again"

The voice sounded like it was frozen over with ice.

"I... I won't..."

Ignoring the buzzing of mosquitoes like Xi Xia, the man walked straight upstairs.

As Gu Jin's footsteps faded into the depths of the stairs, Ji Xiao slowly walked towards the guest room upstairs.

This villa was prepared by the Gu family for Gu Jin's wedding, but after the marriage, Gu Jin had hardly ever stepped foot in it. This was their first time staying under the same roof together.

That's probably it, also the last time.

Anyway, after tonight, this marriage is over. Xiao, what are you still hoping for

"You help me—"

The door was suddenly pushed open. Ji Xiaofu was taken aback, her face full of surprise as she looked at the man standing in the doorway. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, silence descended upon the area. The two people looked at each other.

Ji Xia's current work is quite strange, halfway through, awkwardly hanging on her shoulder, and the one with the bow just hangs there in the air.

And all of this was seen by Gu Jin. At this moment, Ji Xiao simply wanted to crash her head here.

Gu Jin has always disliked this kind of thing. After this incident, he's definitely going to think it was intentional, trying to seduce him on purpose. He must have cursed me thousands of times in his heart already.

"Sorry... I forgot to close the door." She quickly picked up a coat nearby and put it on, her head bowed so she wouldn't meet the man's disgusted gaze. "Yes Is there something"

"The room hasn't been cleaned in a long time, could you help me tidy it up"

Gu Jin finished speaking and shut the door, without any extra expression.

Listening to the hurried rustle of clothes being put on behind the door, my mind unconsciously recalled her face, which had just flushed a shy red, and I frowned.

Gu Jin was taking a shower in the bathroom, while Ji Xia tidied up his bed outside. She hung his coat on the rack and took slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them by his feet.

A series of things, Xi Xiao's actions flowing smoothly like water, this was something he had practiced countless times in his mind, the life after marriage with Gu Jin.

From the moment Gu Jin agreed to marry, she had been daydreaming about how to be his wife. Even though everyone said that Gu Jin had someone he loved, a girl he had known for many years...

It's not that I don't know, it's just that I'm hoping, even if it's just once, to stand side-by-side with Gu Jin. That would be enough.

Suddenly, he came to his senses and met Gu Jin's dark eyes. Ji Xiao was startled.

He had just stepped out of the shower, his waist wrapped only in a towel, radiating heat. Drops of water trickled down from under his chin and landed on his chest.

"Bathrobe."

Ji Xiao stared blankly at Gu Jin.

"Ji Xiao." Gu Jin lowered his eyes to look at Ji Xiao, his voice laced with impatience.

“Ah…ah” Ji Xia, a little embarrassed, picked up the robe by the bed and offered it to Gu Jin.

Gu Jin held a bathrobe, her eyes falling on Ji Xia who was still standing in place. "Should I change for you to see"

A low voice suddenly exploded in Ji Nuan's mind, "I'm sorry!"

After he finished speaking, he ran out without waiting for Gu Jin to reply. help me tidy it up"Gu Jin finished speaking and shut the door, without any extra expression.Listening to the hurried rustle of clothes being put on behind the door, my mind unconsciously recalled her...
