Having been reborn, why would he be afraid of Mr. Gu, who still has a white moonlight?

When Gu Tingzhou saw the words clearly, his fingertips trembled involuntarily, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and the faint sarcasm in his eyes suddenly became sharp.

He curled his thin lips slightly, letting out a low chuckle from his throat; his unease throughout the night was finally confirmed at this moment.

[Gu Tingzhou, the divorce certificate is the last birthday gift I'll give you. I hope you won't be absent tomorrow morning at nine!]

Gu Tingzhou's eyes turned cold as he crumpled the note into a ball and held it tightly in his palm along with the small gift box, his fingers digging so hard that his knuckles turned white and the veins stood out.

Song Wanwan, you really can't wait. Even at a time like this, you still remember to give me a reminder.

Gu Tingzhou instantly lost all interest in celebrating his birthday.

Song Wanwan's phone beeped with a notification that the package had been signed for; only half an hour had passed, which was quite fast.

A faint smile played on her lips. She felt a surge of satisfaction at having annoyed him at his birthday party.

The phone rang suddenly, and Song Wanwan glanced at it, her smile freezing for a moment.

Song Wanwan answered the phone and held it to her ear.

"Where are you?"

Gu Tingzhou's angry voice came from the other end of the phone.

Song Wanwan did not answer Gu Tingzhou's question, but smiled faintly and said, "Did you receive your birthday present? Are you satisfied?"

Gu Tingzhou scoffed, "I'll give you one hour to appear before me immediately."

Song Wanwan couldn't stand Gu Tingzhou's condescending tone.

She sneered, "No need, it won't make much difference to you whether I show up or not. The gift has been delivered, see you tomorrow morning."

Sensing the determination in Song Wanwan's words, Gu Tingzhou also lost his patience. "Fine, Song Wanwan, you've got it! Go get a divorce tomorrow morning. I won't give you another chance if you regret it later."

After saying that, Gu Tingzhou was about to hang up the phone when Song Wanwan stopped him, "Wait a minute!"

Gu Tingzhou's anger subsided slightly, but his tone remained cold and hard: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Song Wanwan said calmly, "Say what you just said again, and I'll record it so you don't forget it tomorrow after drinking too much tonight..."

Before Song Wanwan could finish speaking, Gu Tingzhou had already hung up the phone and slammed it heavily on the table.

Huo Beichen glanced at the phone, whose screen was shattered; it was probably beyond repair.

Song Wanwan is really getting more and more impressive. She managed to make Gu Tingzhou, who is usually unfazed even when facing immense pressure, so angry. She's quite something.

Gu Tingzhou's expression was extremely grim, but he still forced himself to ask, "Does Song Wanwan really want to divorce you?"

Gu Tingzhou turned his head and glared at him, letting out a soft "hmm" through his nose.

Huo Beichen knew that they had caused a scene once before, but Grandpa Gu intervened and calmed things down. However, Song Wanwan pulled this stunt at Gu Tingzhou's birthday banquet.

What was supposed to be a happy occasion took a sharp turn for the worse, leaving absolutely no way out.

It seems that Song Wanwan is determined to get a divorce.

Su Lina, who was standing next to him, had just picked up the gift that Gu Tingzhou had thrown into the trash can. She saw the words on the note and a quick glint of pleasure and cunning flashed in her eyes.

She said cautiously, "Tingzhou, don't get angry. Wanwan is definitely unhappy that I'm the one who threw your birthday party. I'll call her and explain."

Gu Tingzhou's cold face showed no emotion as he said indifferently, "No need, it has nothing to do with you."

Su Lina said softly, "Tingzhou, she has liked you for so many years, she won't just get a divorce like that. It's all my fault, I'm always causing you trouble."

Her eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice, but there was an undisguised smugness in her eyes.

Gu Tingzhou raised an eyebrow. "If she wants to leave, then let her leave. If it can't be amicable, then it should be amicable."

Upon hearing Gu Tingzhou's words, Su Lina felt that her earlier probing words had not been in vain, and a smug smile rose in her heart.

Song Wanwan really brought this on herself.

She knew that although Gu Tingzhou was aloof by nature, he would never break his promise once he made it.

She has recently sensed the change in Gu Tingzhou's attitude towards Song Wanwan, from initial disgust to gradual acceptance.

The incident at Rose Manor is the best proof. Song Wanwan almost strangled her in front of so many people, but Gu Tingzhou didn't say anything and even carried her away. Later, he personally checked the surveillance footage and asked about the reason for the incident.

Because they were worried that something might happen to her if she went back alone, they didn't go out to sea, fearing there would be no signal at sea.

For a man accustomed to others bowing down to him and obeying him in everything, being able to do this is already considered a compromise.

If she persists a little longer, maybe Gu Tingzhou will start to care about her.

She was even starting to plan how to deal with Song Wanwan because of Gu Tingzhou's change.

Unexpectedly, Song Wanwan withdrew after winning so easily.

And since they were getting a divorce tomorrow, Su Lina felt like she had been hit with a huge surprise.

Gu Tingzhou was in a bad mood and drank some wine. Huo Beicheng originally wanted to take him back to the Gu family's old house.

Despite his drunken state, Gu Tingzhou refused, saying, "Take me to the company."

Gu Tingzhou has a rest room in his company office where he rests when he works overtime.

Huo Beichen took Gu Tingzhou to the company. Looking at Gu Tingzhou's furrowed brows as he slept uncomfortably in bed, he sighed helplessly.

Huo Beicheng still understood Gu Tingzhou to some extent; right now, he definitely didn't want to go back and face Song Wanwan.

People in this social class may appear glamorous and surrounded by admirers, but in reality, they each have their own hardships.

Gu Tingzhou was the most hardworking among them, and also the one under the most pressure.

He was burdened with high expectations from a young age. The hopes of his elders and the rise and fall of his family weighed heavily on him, and he often felt suffocated.

Being a good decision-maker requires cultivating the ability to suppress one's emotions and not to make personal decisions about one's preferences, which is truly frustrating.

He also understood that through constant training, Gu Tingzhou had long since lost the ability to express his liking normally or his feelings correctly.

That's why Song Wanwan felt that Gu Tingzhou was cold and didn't like her no matter what he did.

Gu Tingzhou is really suffering. Sometimes he wishes Gu Tingzhou could lose his temper and cry and make a scene, but he always lives a very repressed life.

Especially after his father passed away, he had never seen Gu Tingzhou cry. Even when expressing his dissatisfaction like today, he was restrained.

Before Su Lina went abroad, Gu Tingzhou's gentle side was still visible, but after marrying Song Wanwan, he became utterly cold and ruthless.

The divorce is for the best; now that Su Lina is back, at least Gu Tingzhou isn't as heartbroken.

He called Qiao Sen and told him that Gu Tingzhou was in the rest room, and asked him to bring Gu Tingzhou a change of clothes when he came the next morning.

Just as Huo Beichen was about to close the door and leave, he suddenly heard Gu Tingzhou talking to himself.

He leaned close to his mouth and heard what he was saying.

"Song Wanwan..."

Huo Beichen raised an eyebrow slightly, said nothing or asked anything, and left after closing the door.
