The rain came out of expectation.
Leaning against the window which was wetted by the rain, Ji Xiao stared at the door with gloomy eyes.
During the two years since she had been married to Gu Jin, this was the second time she had stepped into this room. The first time was on the day of her wedding. He had not even appeared at the wedding venue. Ji Xiao, as the bride, left her alone to face many guests.
The light flashed across the window, and a black SUV slowly drove into the villa.
Ji Xiao tidied up her appearance in front of the mirror, then quickly ran down the stairs and sat obediently on the sofa to wait.
Listening to the approaching footsteps outside the door, she felt that her heart was about to jump to her throat. With the sound of the doorknob twisting, Ji Xiao nervously clenched the corner of her clothes.
In the past two years, they had only seen each other a few times, each time with another woman in his arms.
The woman who made him prefer to escape marriage to protect.
"Do you know what I came to you for?"
Gu Jin glanced at Ji Xiao, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze. His tone was cold and emotionless.
Ji Xiao hummed in agreement and her gaze fell on the man, only to hastily move away in an instant.
There was moisture on his body, as well as the fragrance of tobacco.
Two years ago, in a car accident, her father passed away accidentally to save Gu Jin. Ji Xiao married Gu Jin as her father had wished.
At that time, everyone knew that Gu Jin had someone else in her heart, but she still stubbornly agreed to the marriage. It was not only for her father's dying wish, but also for her own selfish motives.
However, this stolen marriage had come to an end.
"It's my duty to help your mother pay for the medical expenses, but Ji Xiao." Gu Jin paused and leaned back on the sofa. His deep and wild black eyes seemed to be able to see through her soul. "You know what I want."
Ji Xiao's gaze fell on Gu Jin's hand and faintly smiled.
There is a ring on his well-defined finger, which was two months ago in a magazine when Mr. Gu bought the wedding ring at a high price at a certain party.
No wonder he was so impatient to call her back. He just wanted to give his beloved woman a wife's status as soon as possible.
"I agree to the divorce."
Ji Xiao opened the document in her bag, smoothed out the wrinkles at the corner, and moved it to Gu Jin from the coffee table. "I've signed the divorce agreement. Take a look."
Gu Jin's deep gaze finally fell on Ji Xiao. After a long while, he slowly moved her eyes to the divorce agreement in front of him. Looking at the tall and elegant handwriting, he frowned.
"I'll inform the lawyer to discuss the details with you tomorrow. If you have any requirements, please feel free to mention them. It should be yours, and I won't lose a penny, " he said, looking at Ji Xiao, who was still a little reserved.
Biting her lip, Ji Xiao nodded. "Thank you. You've already paid for my mother's medical expenses. That's all. I don't want anything."
She was so well-behaved that it annoyed him.
Gu Jin closed the divorce agreement in his hand and threw it heavily on the coffee table.
"Youqing has always wanted to see you. Come with me to see her tomorrow." As he spoke, he looked up at Ji Xiao. "She's pregnant, so be careful when you talk."
"Fine." Ji Xiao replied obediently.
"She hasn't been in a good mood recently. No matter what she says, you have to hold it. Don't make her angry, understand?"
"I know."
Her tone was still calm, and there seemed to be no emotion on her face.
It made him inexplicably annoyed.
"Bang"
It was the sound of him kicking away the tea table.
Ji Xiao was a little surprised, but she still stood up in a hurry and picked up the bag beside her. "Then I'll go back first. Let someone notify me that when will we see Miss Shen tomorrow."
She felt a chill in her heart, but she still forced herself to smile. She walked quickly to the door. When she opened the door, she heard a man's voice behind her.
"Stay here tonight."
Ji Xiao halted her steps and looked at the man behind her in surprise. The light was dim, so she couldn't see his expression clearly.
"It's raining heavily outside and you can't get a taxi. If something happens outside, won't you pester me again?"
His voice was as cold as ice.
"I... I won't..."
Ignoring the small sound of Ji Xiao, he went straight upstairs.
Listening to Gu Jin's footsteps disappear deep down the stairs, Ji Xiao slowly walked upstairs to the guest room.
The Gu family had prepared this villa for Gu Jin to get married. However, Gu Jin had not stepped foot into it since they got married. This was the first time they had stayed overnight under the same roof.
It was probably the last time.
Anyway, after tonight, this marriage would come to an end. Ji Xiao, what are you still hoping for?
"Help me..."
When the door was suddenly pushed open, Ji Xiao stopped taking off her clothes and looked at the man standing at the door in surprise. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
All of a sudden, the surroundings quieted down, and their eyes met.
Ji Xiao's current movements are very funny. She took off his sweater halfway and awkwardly hung it on her shoulder, exposing her pink bra with a bowknot in the air.
Gu Jin witnessed all of this. At this moment, Ji Xiao wanted to ram her head against the wall and die.
Gu Jin had always hated her. After this incident, he would probably think that she was trying to seduce him with her clothes in disarray. He might curse her in his heart thousands of times.
"I'm sorry... I forgot to close the door." She quickly picked up her coat and covered her body. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at the man's disgusted expression. "What, what's the matter?"
"The room hasn't been cleaned for a long time. Help me clean it up."
After saying that, Gu Jin closed the door expressionlessly.
Listening to the sound of her dressing in a hurry inside the door, he unconsciously thought of her blushing and shy face just now and frowned.
Gu Jin took a shower in the bathroom while Ji Xiao tidied up the bed for him outside. She hung his coat on the hanger, took out slippers from the shoe cabinet, and put them beside his feet.
Ji Xiao did a series of things smoothly. She had rehearsed countless times in her mind about her married life with Gu Jin.
From the moment Gu Jin agreed to get married, she had been looking forward to being his wife, even if everyone told her that Gu Jin had someone else in his heart and that person was the girl he had loved for many years...
It wasn't that she didn't know. She just hoped that she would only be able to stand side by side with Gu Jin once.
Suddenly, she came to her senses and met Gu Jin's dark gaze. Ji Xiao was startled.
He had just taken a shower, and there was only a bath towel wrapped around his waist. His body was steaming and drops of water fell from his chin to his chest.
"Bathrobe."
Ji Xiao stared blankly at Gu Jin.
"Ji Xiao." Gu Jin looked down at Ji Xiao, sounding a little impatient.
"Ah... ah?" Ji Xiao awkwardly took the bathrobe beside the bed and handed it to Gu Jin.
Gu Jin held the bathrobe and looked at Ji Xiao, who was still standing in the same place. "Do you want me to wear this in front of you?"
His deep voice exploded in Ji Xiao's mind. "I'm sorry!"
After that, she ran out without waiting for Gu Jin to speak.
