We agreed to divorce at the expiration date, why do you regret it, Mr. Fu?

Wen Zhixia couldn't tell whether his current flattery was an act of trying to win back the relationship, or whether he really couldn't give up on herself.

She didn't like this feeling of uneasiness, but at this point, she didn't want to continue asking questions in such hesitation, as it seemed like self-torture.

"The cooling-off period will end the week after next. You should arrange your time in advance." Thinking of this, Wen Zhixia said, "Don't wait until the last minute and..."

Fu Ruoshi suddenly slammed on the brakes, interrupting Wen Zhixia's next words.

In front of the car, two puppies were leisurely crossing the road.

"Can you please stop provoking me while I'm driving?" Fu Ruoshi's face turned cold. "You'll be responsible if the car flips over."

……

Twenty minutes later.

The car arrived at the teachers' dormitory building.

"Wait for me in the car," Wen Zhixia said, "I'll go upstairs and clean the house and come back."

Fu Ruoshi turned off the engine and looked at her. "You're just going to leave me here? You want to freeze me to death?"

Oh, it's a convertible.

Afraid that he would catch a cold and make excuses not to divorce, Wen Zhixia nodded.

"casual."

She got out of the car and Fu Ruoshi followed her, keeping a distance of about three steps.

If he was too far away, he was afraid that she would get lost; if he was too close, he was afraid that she would push him away.

After Wen Litao passed away, the house was left to Wen Zhixia. She changed the lock of the house to ensure that Wen Xu, Meng Jia and others would not come in.

When I entered the house, everything was as usual. The sofa, table and chairs were all covered with sheets, and the air was filled with a faint sadness.

Wen Zhixia was a little touched. She went to the kitchen to get a broom and cleaned the cobwebs in the house.

Fu Ruoshi lit a cigarette and placed it on the windowsill instead of lighting incense for worship.

He had only met Wen Litao three times, but he remembered it clearly. The old man's every move and gesture were somewhat similar to Bai Lan's. Both were proud and upright intellectuals of the older generation, almost extinct in today's world.

When Fu Ruoshi was preparing to marry Wen Zhixia, he wanted to come to Wen Litao specifically to propose marriage.

But Wen Zhixia did not agree. She felt like she was facing a great enemy, so much so that on the wedding day, none of her relatives or friends showed up.

She only knew Fu Ruoshi in the whole audience. Although she pretended to be calm, when they entered the auditorium, Fu Ruoshi walked a little fast, and she subconsciously pulled Fu Ruoshi's arm.

She didn't want anyone to see that she was scared, but she couldn't pretend perfectly.

Thinking of the past, Fu Ruoshi felt complicated. He walked into the bedroom and asked Wen Zhixia, who was tidying the bed sheets, "What impression does your grandfather have of me?"

Although Wen Litao spoke very highly of him, Wen Zhixia didn't want to say it. They were about to get divorced, and saying these things would seem dragging things out.

She said it casually, "You are a handsome man, better than Gu Chun."

Despite this, when Fu Ruoshi mentioned Gu Chun, a strong gloom flashed in his eyes.

He has always had an unresolved hatred for Gu Chun.

He even wondered if it weren't for Gu Chun, whether he and Wen Zhixia would have had a smoother journey and less barriers between them.

But now, it’s no use worrying about these things.

"Actually, three years ago, when you caught Gu Chun cheating on you, I was the one who asked someone to call you."

After these words were spoken, Wen Zhixia's hands trembled as she packed her things.

Fragments of memories came flooding back.

That night, she had just returned home from her internship when she received an anonymous phone call saying that Gu Chun was in a room in the hotel and asked her to come over immediately.

When she rushed over, she found a room card on the ground at the door. She didn't think much about it and opened the door to go in. Then she saw Gu Chun and another woman entangled with each other.

Is this his arrangement?

Wen Zhixia looked at Fu Ruoshi in disbelief, "What do you mean? Why did you do this?"

No wonder, he knew everything about Gu Chun and even took photos of himself and him encountering each other.

"I want you to see him clearly," Fu Ruoshi said, "You've been with him for so many years, don't you know he's been cheating on you? Are you deceiving yourself, or is he really pretending to be too good?"

"Stop talking!" Wen Zhixia's voice trembled. "Fu Ruoshi, what does this have to do with you? What do you want to do by telling me this now?"

Fu Ruoshi didn't know what he was doing. The thought of her divorcing him made his mind a mess.

He wanted to pour out everything that was hidden in his heart and show it to her.

"I want you to look at me."

Fu Ruoshi's voice was low and hoarse. "Wen Zhixia, I know I've wronged you a lot in the past three years. It's my fault. I thought you still couldn't let go of Gu Chun. I shouldn't have made such assumptions. I'm willing to make up for my mistakes. If you're dissatisfied with anything, can you tell me?"

Wen Zhixia's eyelashes trembled slightly. She took a long time to calm down and took a deep breath. "Actually, that night at the bar, I always knew it was you."

"I recognized you the first time I saw you."

Fu Ruoshi's pupils trembled, his face turned pale, and he couldn't utter a word.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The knot in his heart that he had been unable to untie for three years was actually spoken out by her lightly at such an embarrassing moment.

If only I had known this sooner.

In other words, it would be great if I could let go of these knots and self-esteem sooner.

Does that mean I can be with her till the end?

Three years ago, after Fu Ruoshi founded Zhuorui in the United States, he planned to return to China to set up a branch.

He had another important purpose in returning to China.

Find Wen Zhixia and marry her.

Although he was young and immature when he was a student, anyone who can start a company independently must have been ambitious and dared to think and act since his youth.

Children who grew up in political and business families are more rational than emotional. When Fu Ruoshi first fell in love with Wen Zhixia, he didn't think about falling in love with her immediately, but thought one step further and marry her.

In order to achieve this goal, the first thing is to have money.

You have to abandon your family background and make your own money.

Born into a wealthy family, he had no control over everything since birth. At first, he had no say in the family. He clearly realized that if he gave his entire life to the family, while enjoying their protection, he would also be bound by them.

Unless he leaves the family, becomes self-reliant, and then negotiates with the family with strong bargaining chips, he can seize the right to speak in the family that belongs to him.

Such courage and boldness are rare, but Fu Ruoshi dares to think and act. He cannot leave his fate to others, nor can he marry a woman he does not love at all like his father did, and he cannot live his life under the control of his parents.

Later, he became stronger and stronger, and his ambitions became more and more exaggerated. He thrived in the American free market, got a green card, started a company, and quickly gained a foothold.

After six or seven years of twists and turns, he finally got together with her.

However, after getting it, he became worried and suspicious, and eventually met his lover who was completely disappointed in him.

"I'm sorry, Wen Zhixia," Fu Ruoshi wanted to hug her, but she dodged him again. His hand froze in mid-air awkwardly, unable to move forward or backward. "I really love you, I only love you."

Wen Zhixia smiled sadly, "But I really can't tell whether you are unwilling to give up, or afraid of losing, or you just enjoy the fun of testing each other in the love field, but no matter what, I will never trust you again."
