Gu Tingzhou changed his clothes and went out. He was dressed in a custom-made black suit, looking handsome and outstanding. His perfect head-to-body ratio, coupled with his innate aloofness and nobility, made him the object of countless dreams of socialites and heiresses at night.

At night, the Nightclub is a money pit in Beijing, a place where rich kids and second-generation heirs spend lavishly.

The music was loud and energetic, glasses were clinking, and a chaotic scene of people dancing wildly.

In the dimly lit, luxurious booth, Gu Tingzhou sat in the main seat of the sofa, his black shirt sleeves rolled up twice, revealing his muscular forearms and an expensive watch on his wrist. His handsome and aristocratic appearance was like a magnet, attracting the women in the bar to glance back frequently.

Sitting next to Gu Tingzhou was his good brother Huo Beichen, who was also the heir of the Huo family.

Huo Beichen clinked his wine glass against Gu Tingzhou's, somewhat disbelieving Gu Tingzhou's earlier words, but a playful smile played on his lips: "What did you say? Song Wanwan wants a divorce?"

He felt like he was hallucinating again, and said to Fu Yuzhe, who was sitting in the armchair, "Did you hear Mr. Gu say that Mrs. Gu wants a divorce?"

Fu Yuzhe, the third young master of the Fu family, wearing frameless glasses, nodded with a hint of surprise.

Huo Beichen laughed heartily, as if he had heard a hilarious joke. "Third brother, let's make a bet and see if Song Wanwan really divorces the eldest brother this time. Everyone in this circle knows how Song Wanwan chased after the eldest brother for so many years. How could she possibly be willing to divorce him?"

Fu Yuzhe pushed up his glasses and tentatively said, "It's hard to say. Didn't Lina go back to China? I guess Song Wanwan felt she had no chance, so she backed down?"

Huo Beichen gave Gu Tingzhou a sly look. "Boss, what are you thinking?"

Gu Tingzhou lit a cigarette with a lighter. His gloomy face flickered in the yellow light, and his deep, magnetic voice rang out, "As long as she doesn't regret it."

Huo Beicheng and Fu Yuzhe exchanged a glance and tacitly remained silent.

The next morning, Song Wanwan got up early, specially wearing a bright red dress and putting on a bright makeup.

Today is the day of my divorce, and also the day I begin a new life.

In his past life, Gu Tingzhou preferred light colors, so he never wore the red dress he bought.

Now that they're getting a divorce, who cares about him anymore?

Song Wanwan drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau. It was not yet nine o'clock, and the Civil Affairs Bureau had not yet opened for business. Gu Tingzhou had not arrived either.

Several couples were waiting outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, presumably to register their marriage, their faces beaming with happiness.

Song Wanwan recalled the day she and Gu Tingzhou got their marriage certificate. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night and came to queue up early in the morning.

Gu Tingzhou arrived late, just before the staff were about to leave work.

Although Gu Tingzhou acted indifferent and very cold and distant.

But Song Wanwan was happy; she had almost thought Gu Tingzhou wouldn't come.

She thought that after years of unrequited love, she could finally step into a happy married life.

Little did she know, that was the beginning of her tragic life...

But now it has ended in such a dismal way.

Gu Tingzhou sat in the car, his dark eyes calmly fixed on Song Wanwan's position.

Wearing a long red dress and with striking features, she stood at the doorway, her flamboyance bordering on excessive.

He couldn't help but frown.

He never believed that Song Wanwan would divorce him.

After all, he had witnessed Song Wanwan's endless tricks.

To avoid being tricked, he deliberately arrived a little early to see what tricks Song Wanwan would play.

But after observing for a long time, he found nothing unusual about the surroundings.

Seeing the self-deprecating and slightly bitter expression on Song Wanwan's face, Gu Tingzhou felt a pang of unease.

But it was fleeting.

The thing he hated most in his life was someone trying to control him and threaten him, and Song Wanwan embodied both of those traits.

It's her own fault that things escalated to the point of divorce!

Song Wanwan saw that the staff from the Civil Affairs Bureau had arrived and opened the door.

She sent a message to Gu Tingzhou with her head down, then walked over.

Gu Tingzhou's phone beeped, and he picked it up to take a look.

I'm here, come over quickly.

Gu Tingzhou took the divorce agreement that Qiao Sen had printed out and strode out of the car.

As soon as Song Wanwan sat down, she saw Gu Tingzhou walk in from the door.

So fast?

It's surprising that someone who gets married right on time, is so quick to get divorced.

I wonder if he has a sense of time, or if he was also waiting for this day.

Gu Tingzhou wore a dark purple shirt with subtle patterns today. He was tall and handsome, with exquisite features and an outstanding temperament.

Bathed in the bright lights overhead, he appeared aloof and detached, like a noble Buddhist disciple untouched by worldly affairs.

Song Wanwan said calmly, "You brought the agreement, right? Bring it here so I can sign it."

Gu Tingzhou frowned and tossed the agreement to her.

Song Wanwan picked up the agreement and glanced at it casually. Gu Tingzhou had given her the villa on the hillside and also given her ten million yuan in alimony.

For Gu Tingzhou, these were just a drop in the ocean, but it was still quite generous of him to give her these.

After all, he was forced into marriage, and he hated her so much.

Gu Tingzhou raised an eyebrow and warned coldly, "After the divorce, watch your mouth. If you use this as an excuse, I will not show you any mercy."

Song Wanwan sneered. When has he ever shown any mercy?

Gu Tingzhou was afraid that she would ruin his reputation by talking about the divorce, which was really unnecessary.

After all, getting divorced in less than a year of marriage is nothing to brag about, and she's not stupid enough to go around telling everyone.

He said calmly, "If you don't trust me, then add it to the agreement. I'm even less willing to bring this up than you are to."

Gu Tingzhou found the mocking smile on Song Wanwan's lips extremely offensive. "Stop stalling, sign it!"

It's as if someone is deliberately stalling for time.

Song Wanwan was too lazy to argue with Gu Tingzhou, and without the slightest hesitation, she picked up the pen and signed the agreement.

After signing, the agreement was pushed in front of Gu Tingzhou.

"Your turn, sign."

If you're in such a hurry, why can't you sign it in advance? It's a waste of time.

Gu Tingzhou clearly felt Song Wanwan roll her eyes, but he held back from reacting. Anyway, it would be over soon, so he would just have to endure her for the last few minutes.

He took the pen and signed the agreement.

The two took the signed agreement, household registration book, marriage certificate, and ID card to the counter where they were processing their divorce certificate.

The divorce officer took the couple's documents and asked in a businesslike manner, "Would you two like mediation?"

Without even thinking, Song Wanwan said, "No need, I've already thought it through."

Gu Tingzhou casually replied, "No need, just do it."

The staff looked at the couple's documents and then filled out a divorce application form for them.

After all that was done, a receipt was given to each of the two people.

"Keep this receipt safe. After the 30-day cooling-off period, choose a working day to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a number and formally file for divorce. Both parties must be present at the same time. If one party fails to appear or fails to appear within the time limit, it will be considered as abandoning the divorce."

Holding the receipt, Song Wanwan looked at the staff member with a blank expression and asked, "Can't we just process the divorce directly?"

The staff member replied expressionlessly, "No. This is a new regulation in the Marriage Law. A divorce certificate can only be issued after the cooling-off period."

Song Wanwan sighed helplessly and stuffed the receipt into her bag.

Gu Tingzhou felt inexplicably irritated as he watched her actions.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Song Wanwan strode forward as if she had shed a burden.

Gu Tingzhou, as if possessed, shouted, "Song Wanwan, we are still husband and wife for the next 30 days. Watch your words and actions."

Song Wanwan turned around and sneered: "Don't worry, President Gu, I won't do anything to damage your reputation."
