Chapter 5 Love and Not Love

These magnetic words made her feel upset.

Ji Xiao sat up and stared straight at Gu Jin.

"Mr. Gu, we're going to divorce soon."

Gu Jin frowned. "At least we're still husband and wife, Ji Xiao."

Husband and wife?

"Is that so?" Ji Xiao sounded a little sad. "You and I both know very well that this marriage exists in name only. Are we really husband and wife? Is the beautiful pregnant woman outside and your past love

, all fake?"

At some point, tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't see the man's face clearly.

"I'm an adult, not a little girl who used to follow you around. I have my own judgment. Since I've decided to divorce, I'll do it thoroughly. Don't do anything that will make me misunderstand. It's not only bad for us, but also unfair to Youqing."

Gu Jin stared at her lips. His throat was terribly dry. When he thought of the scene when she had just taken a shower and walked out of the bathroom, her body was covered with dense water vapor. Her petite body seemed to have exquisite curves, and even her lively eyes were filled with water vapor.

She had grown up.

"It's our own business. Don't get someone else involved."

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Gu Jin spoke in annoyance.

"Someone else? To you, I'm the one." Ji Xiao suddenly wanted to laugh. "I'm a woman, and I understand how Youqing feels. That day, she proved to me again and again how much you two loved each other. I don't believe you can't tell. I'll be generous and grant your wishes, but please you, don't..."

Her throat suddenly felt a little bitter.

Did he really not know how much she loved him?

She loved him so much that even breathing in the same air made her feel extremely happy.

His intimate touch today almost broke the psychological defense line that she had worked so hard to build in the past few days.

Gu Jin did not say anything else, he seemed to be thinking carefully about what she had said.

Suddenly, a rough finger touched her cheek. She shocked, She looked up and met his dark eyes. Warm liquid uncontrollably dripped from the corners of her eyes.

She was like an abandoned kitten, with disappointment and grievance in her eyes.

Gu Jin had a heartbeat. He slid a finger across the corner of her eye to wipe away the tears.

For some reason, an unprecedented impulse rose from the bottom of his heart. His gaze unconsciously landed on her red lips which were small and cute. Gu Jin thought that her lips must be incredibly soft.

As the man's breathing got closer and closer, Ji Xiao nervously clenched the hem of her clothes. Seeing that his sexy thin lips were getting closer and closer, she simply closed her eyes.

No matter what would happen in the future, as long as it was now, even only for now.

...

The melodious ringtone broke the ambiguous atmosphere.

Both of them woke up. Ji Xiao looked at the name flashing on the screen of Gu Jin, and the throbbing in her heart instantly disappeared without a trace.

Gu Jin looked down at his phone with a dark expression, but he did not answer the call.

"Call so late at night. There must be something urgent," Ji Xiao said softly as she picked up the phone at the head of the bed and handed it to Gu Jin.

Gu Jin picked up the call. Ji Xiao walked to the balcony and did not want to disturb them.

The wind was blowing at night, and Ji Xiao tightened her thin pajamas. It was so cold.

" Gu Jin, I feel a little uncomfortable of my belly, can you come and accompany me?"

Unfortunately, the balcony was not soundproof, so Ji Xiao could hear Su Youqing on the phone clearly.

"I've arranged a doctor for you. Call the landline on the first floor, and the doctor will come when he hears it."

"No, I don't want a doctor. I just want you. Gu Jin, I want you to accompany me."

As she spoke, she began to sob.

As a woman herself, Ji Xiao was very familiar with this coquettish voice. It was not uncomfortable at all. She just wanted Gu Jin to go there and accompany her.

But that was just what Ji Xiao was thinking.

Gu Jin hung up the phone after comforting her. Then there was a rustling sound of getting dressed behind Ji Xiao. Soon, the bedroom door was closed, and silence returned.

Still standing on the balcony, Ji Xiao watched the black SUV drive away from the old house until it was out of sight.

Look, it was obvious whether he loved her or not.

As long as the person he loved made a phone call, he would rush to any place without hesitation.

The wind tonight was so cold that it made her heart ache.

...

The next day, Ji Xiao returned home early.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw her mother busy in the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm back."

Her mother stuck her head out of the kitchen and wiped her wet hands on the apron. Soon, she came out with a pot of porridge.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? It's freshly cooked. Eat some while it's still hot," she said as she scooped up a bowl of porridge and handed it to Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao's mother sat in front of Ji Xiao and looked up at her daughter from time to time. "Were you with Gu Jin last night?"

"No, I went to accompany Mrs. Grace last night. She has been in poor health recently, so I went to chat with her for a while. It's very late, so I didn't come back."

Ji Xiao sounded unperturbed and emotionless.

"You..."

"Mom."

Knowing that her mother was going to bring up the divorce again, Ji Xiao took the initiative to say, "The divorce is a foregone conclusion. No one can change it. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine. My goal in the future is to work hard and take care of you and my uncle."

From the day her father died in the car accident, she knew that she was no longer the rich young girl in the past, and she had no rights to be sad like in idol dramas. She had to think about her future and make a living.

Looking at her daughter pretending to be strong, Ji Xiao's mother nodded with a smile. "Yes, it's good to divorce. Xiaoxiao is so excellent that she will definitely meet someone better!"

As she spoke, she added some porridge to Ji Xiao's bowl.

Ji Xiao smiled.

No matter how difficult the days were, it would not be so difficult to live with the company of her family.

After dinner, Ji Xiao packed up a few sets of clothes from the wardrobe. She had promised Jiang Yi that she would go to the new company tomorrow.

She tied up her disheveled hair and put on delicate makeup. She turned on the camera, rested her chin on the back of her hand, took two photos, posted them on her Moments, and added some words.

"Please remember that there are stars all over the sky after missing the sunset."

Ji Xiao rarely posted on Moments, especially selfies. From beginning to end, there were only a few boring and encouraging posts. When these two photos were posted, there were a lot of people praising her beauty.

She was originally born beautiful, with a layer of beauty added to her photos, even without retouching, she was already very beautiful.

There was a call. Ji Xiao glanced at the screen and saw that it was...

" Gu Jin."
