Rarely, after knowing him for so long, Gu Jin had only called her a handful of times.

In fact, on the day of their marriage, Ji Xiao wore a wedding dress and had secretly changed the name of Gu Jin into "husband". At that time, she had been very shy and fantasized about the happy life after marrying her beloved man and how respectful the couple had been to each other.

However, on the day of the wedding, he didn't even show up.

After hesitating for a while, Ji Xiao picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

The man on the other end of the line replied lazily, "I heard that you submitted your resignation application to the company?"

"Yes," Ji Xiao said. "I've already passed an interview with another company. I'll go to work tomorrow."

"Who allowed you to resign?"

The man seemed to be angry, and his voice lowered a little.

"I have the right to make my own decisions," Ji Xiao said, tightening her grip on her phone. "And I don't think you have the right to interfere with my decisions, Mr. Gu."

"I'm your husband!"

"We'll get a divorce soon."

"Ji Xiao, we haven't divorced yet." Gu Jin thought for a moment and said, "Legally, I'm still your husband."

His voice was low and sexy, and his words were so heart-rending that Ji Xiao began to sink uncontrollably again.

She hung up the phone.

In her eyes, Gu Jin had a fatal attraction for her in every aspect.

What did he mean by saying that!

On the other side, the man leaned back in his chair with his shiny leather shoes on the desk. He put one hand on one side of the chair casually and slid his other hand on his mobile phone. On the screen was a photo of the woman. She was smiling like a flower, and her eyes were bright and charming in the photo.

He had watched her grow up, and now, he was going to watch her walk away.

He knew very well that he did not love her!

What was difficult to ignore was the feeling of emptiness in his heart. Why?

Was it because she agreed to the divorce so readily? Or was it because there would be another man by her side who cared about her in the future, and she would become his dust-covered past?

Once again, he clicked on her Moments. There were only two photos, which had been posted half an hour ago. He had almost gone through them.

Damn it, who allowed her to laugh like this?

It was so dazzling.

...

After getting familiar with the workflow of the company for a whole day, there was nothing important. She was just an assistant, printing documents, and running errands. But her back and waist were sore after a day.

However, at least she had a sense of satisfaction of being alive.

When she finally got off work and was about to go home to take a shower, Ji Xiao was blocked by a car at the entrance of the company.

The familiar license plate number.

"Mr. Gu."

Ji Xiao frowned and called out in a low voice.

"Get in the car."

This is the tone of his command.

Ji Xiao was fed up with her soft personality in front of Gu Jin. Although she complained in her heart that she was unwilling, she still opened the back door and got in.

After a long while, the car still didn't start.

Gu Jin took off his sunglasses and looked at Ji Xiao's nervous expression from the mirror.

"Do I have any toxins on me, Ji Xiao?"

"Ah... Ah?"

Ji Xiao was stunned and confused.

Gu Jin did not look away from Ji Xiao. He patted the passenger seat beside him with his wide palm, hinting at something obvious.

She didn't mind sitting in the passenger seat. Having taken over his wife's status for two years and now she even had to take up the passenger seat. She felt a little guilty.

However, Gu Jin did not understand what she was thinking. He did not understand the tricks either.

Not wanting to explain too much, Ji Xiao got out of the car from the back seat and sat in the passenger seat.

Gu Jin glanced sideways at her. He unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to her.

Ji Xiao's tense face, feet, and fingers tightened.

The man's handsome face was so close to her. His heavy breath hit her neck, and a hand clasped her shoulder, getting closer and closer.

"Should I push him away?"

"Click-"

It was the sound of the seat belt being fastened.

When she came back to her senses, Gu Jin had already turned the steering wheel and started the car.

Ji Xiao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It was just a seat belt.

But just now, there was clearly a burning passion in his eyes. Was it an illusion?

At the rush hour, there was a long line in front of the red light. It seemed that it would be blocked for a while.

Gu Jin simply turned around and went to the nearest hot pot restaurant.

"My mother cooked for me. I can go home and eat."

"Eat with me."

Gu Jin did not even raise his eyes. He picked up the menu and handed it to Ji Xiao.

She didn't stand on ceremony and ordered a spicy hotpot. Most of the dishes were what Gu Jin often ate. Needless to say, she knew Gu Jin's preferences very well.

After the dishes were served, Gu Jin did not eat much, but she ate more than half of them.

"You didn't eat spicy food when you were a child. It seems that you're quite an eater today." Gu Jin scooped up a piece of meat from the pot and placed it in the bowl of Ji Xiao.

Watching the woman smack her lips with spiciness, he handed over a glass of ice juice.

"I've grown up, and it's normal for my preferences to be different from when I was young."

Ji Xiao gulped down a large glass of juice, and her churning stomach felt much better.

Gu Jin replied with a "hmm" and could not help looking elsewhere. Then, he nodded seriously.

"It's quite big."

“...”

? ? ?

What was he thinking?

The private room was not big, and the hot pot was boiling hot. Ji Xiao felt very hot, so she went out to find a remote control for the air conditioner. Just then, Gu Jin received a call.

"I'm going out for a while. You eat first. I'll be back soon."

Gu Jin left in a hurry without waiting for Ji Xiao to reply.

Who else could make the young master of the Gu family so anxious except for that beautiful lady?

They really couldn't be separated for even a moment.

Su Youqing wants to maintain her beautiful image of tantalizing beauty and not be too aggressive, but she has some grudges towards Ji Xiao, and she really doesn't want to give them any chance to be alone.

The food in the pot was still boiling. Ji Xiao mechanically scooped it up, dipped it in sauce, and put it into her mouth.

It was dull and tasteless.

The more she wanted to numb herself, the more she couldn't help thinking about it.

After a long time, the door of the private room was pushed open again.

Ji Xiao looked up and saw that it was Gu Jin. He was back, but there was another woman in his arms.

It was Su Youqing.

She curled up in Gu Jin's arms. Her white dress looked thin, and her eyes were a little red, as if she had just cried.

Until they sat down, their fingers were clasped tightly together.

Didn't know who she was provoking.

Ji Xiao lowered her head and sneered.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao. The two of you were eating and I asked Gu Jin to bring me here... You don't mind, do you?"

"Of course not. It'll be livelier if we eat together," Ji Xiao said. "Pregnant woman should eat light food. I'll order a soup pot for you?"

Su Youqing covered her mouth and smiled. "I'm okay with it. Don't bother ordering a soup pot."

"You should eat something light."

Gu Jin spoke on Su Youqing's side. Not long after, he had already handed the menu to the waiter.

Su Youqing took Gu Jin by the hand and said with a smile, "Gu Jin, I want to eat the puff from the dessert shop next door. Can you buy some for me?"

Gu Jin agreed and left the private room.

The private room was quiet again.

"Xiaoxiao," Su Youqing said, staring at Ji Xiao with her clear eyes. "How's your divorce procedure going with Gu Jin?"
