Gu Jin looked even gloomier.

It had been two years. Whenever he came back, his mother would always mention this thing to him.

Looking at the girl sitting next to his mother, who seemed to be in a dilemma, he felt even more upset.

"You're always like this when I tell you this thing. Have you ever treated me as your mother?" Mrs. Gu saw the expression on Gu Jin and became even angrier. "You don't know how good the daughter-in-law I've chosen for you is. A noble lady is well-behaved and decent, but you insist on loving the woman outside. Fine, if you want to bring your mistress and that illegitimate child into the Gu family, don't recognize me as your mother in the future! I'll pretend that I never had a son like you!"

Mrs. Gu seemed to be so angry that she coughed as she spoke. The servants standing next to her quickly served her some warm water. Ji Xiao took it and gently patted her on the back to make her drink it.

"Mom."

Seeing this, Gu Jin hurried over to comfort her, but Mrs. Gu pushed him away.

"Why do you care about me? Just let me die, that will fulfill your wish!"

The atmosphere fell to freezing point in an instant. Gu Jin's hand stopped in mid-air, and there seemed to be visibly moved and some struggles in his dark eyes.

Ji Xiao seemed to have understood the man's predicament. He must have been very tired after struggling with his beloved and loved ones for two years.

"Mom, don't be angry." Ji Xiao caressed the back of Mrs. Gu and helped her to calm down. She said gently, "Gu Jin... did not mention divorce to me. We get along very well. Don't worry, we know what we're doing."

The warm, sweet, and glutinous voice hit Gu Jin's heart word by word, causing him some confusion, but he did not deny it.

For a moment, he even felt that Ji Xiao in front of him was different from the arrogant young lady he had known before. She was more mature and gentler now.

After comforting Mrs. Gu, Ji Xiao realized that Gu Jin, who was standing on the side, had already left.

She didn't see him until dinner time.

"I was too harsh." Mrs. Gu sighed. "This boy has been very stubborn since he was a child. As long as he makes up his mind, no one can change it."

"Back then, I insisted that you two get married because I thought that only a girl like Xiaoxiao was worthy of being my daughter-in-law. But..."

Mrs. Gu looked a little sad as she spoke.

"But I believe that as time passes, he will find that you are good. You are the only daughter-in-law of Gu family."

Ji Xiao nodded with a smile.

Love had never been a time problem. He did not love her, and he would not love her in the future.

After dinner, Ji Xiao decided to bring him some food.

The servant said that he went into the study alone in the afternoon and stayed in it alone.

She knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. Ji Xiao gritted her teeth, twisted the handle, and pushed the door open.

As soon as the door was opened, she saw smoke swirling inside, and the pungent smell of tobacco hit her face, making her cough non-stop.

The tall man stood in front of the window with sparks between his fingertips. As if he had seen Ji Xiao, he skillfully extinguished his cigarette and opened the window.

The smell of smoke dissipated a lot.

Ji Xiao placed the food on the table and said, "Mrs. Gu asked me to bring you some food, eat some."

Gu Jin looked up at her.

"Those words just now, I saw that your mother was too angry, and the situation was not good, so I..."

After hesitating for a long time, Ji Xiao slowly opened her mouth.

"I know," Gu Jin said in a hoarse voice.

"Then I'll go out." Ji Xiao stopped when she walked to the door and looked at the man leaning against the window behind her. "You can contact me at any time for the divorce. It'll be convenient for me."

She deliberately ignored the dry urge to cry, trying not to make her voice sound so trembling.

"Are you in a hurry?" Gu Jin asked unexpectedly.

Feeling that the man was staring at her with burning eyes, Ji Xiao lowered her eyes and bit her lip. She shook her head and said, "No... no."

However, as long as the matter was not over, she would not be able to walk out of it.

The word "divorce" revolved around her every day, and the past that once captivated her lingers in her mind, even the scenes of Gu Jin and Su Youqing playing harmoniously.

Her heart was already numb from the pain.

It was just last night, with such a disgusted expression and eager desire to get rid of relationship with her, why was he ambiguous now.

If it had been a little longer, she would not have been able to cut off this relationship.

Gu Jin looked at Ji Xiao. Her head was lowered, and her furry head was tilted slightly. She looked a little depressed and no one knew what she was thinking.

So annoyed.

"I'll let you know when the time comes."

After coming out of the study, she went downstairs and watched TV series with Mrs. Gu in the living room. At eight o'clock every night, they would watch those classic Thai idol dramas and vulgar plots, but both of them could enjoy the dramas and plots every time.

In the two years after the marriage, Gu Jin had been abroad all year round. Ji Xiao would often come over to chat with Mrs. Gu about family matters. There was a bedroom in the old house that was prepared for Gu Jin, so Mrs. Gu decided to let Ji Xiao stay in Gu Jin's bedroom.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when she helped Mrs. Gu to sleep. Ji Xiao rubbed her sore neck, went back to the bedroom, took a bath towel, and went into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Ji Xiao wrapped herself in a bath towel, wiped her half dry hair as she walked out of the bathroom. She raised her head and met Gu Jin eyes.

？

The two of them were in a deadlock. Ji Xiao held her breath, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

"What... what are you doing here?"

It took Ji Xiao a long time to find her voice.

Gu Jin was very relaxed. He poured himself a glass of water and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking elegant and noble.

"If I remember correctly, this is my room."

Couldn't he avoid seeing her taking a shower!

Ji Xiao subconsciously tightened her grip on her collar, and her cheeks flushed uneasily. She had indeed forgotten that this room originally belonged to Gu Jin.

"Then I'll sleep in the guest room."

The room seemed to be a little hot and dry. Was the air conditioner turned off?

"Sleep here." Gu Jin suddenly said from behind, "If you go out now, my mother will think that I'm the one who kicked you out. Besides..."

He seemed to be lying down, and his voice sounded a little lazy.

"There are so many servants at home. If you go out dressed like this, they will think that I'm useless."

Useless? Why not?

When Ji Xiao realized what was going on, her face flushed red.

Why did he suddenly start talking dirty words!

While Gu Jin went into the bathroom to take a shower, Ji Xiao took out one of her most conservative pajamas from the wardrobe and put it on. Then, she quickly got into bed.

Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening, she deliberately snored slightly, pretending to be asleep.

There were some sunken areas on the side of Ji Xiao's body, and a familiar smell penetrated into her nose. Ji Xiao only felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster.

The man seemed to be a little closer to her. His arm slipped through her arm and rested on her waist.

！！！

Ji Xiao suddenly stiffened.

Behind her came the man's dull but seemingly smiling voice.

"Oh, I thought you were asleep."
