Just one night, it couldn’t be that coincidental! She took a deep breath and smiled at Du Moli’s puzzled face, “I don’t have a boyfriend, how could I be pregnant? It’s probably just a stomach illness!”
“Oh,” Du Moli sighed with relief, “I thought you might be pregnant. I’ll accompany you to buy stomach medicine later!”
After the meal, Du Moli insisted on accompanying her to buy medicine. Chu Ai couldn’t refuse and went along. Just as they reached the pharmacy entrance, she looked back and saw Gu Yunzhi. He was standing quietly across the street, waiting for the traffic light. Chu Ai spotted him instantly.
Gu Yunzhi saw her too. He hesitated, crossed the street, and stopped in front of her, “How have you been lately?”
“Fine!” she answered mechanically.
“When did you return to Beijing?”
“Not long ago!”
He wanted to ask why she hadn’t called him but swallowed the words.
He just sighed lightly, “You’ve lost so much weight!”
Her nose felt sour.
“Take good care of yourself!” he said, giving her a deep look before walking past her. At that moment, a slight bitterness crossed her heart.
Chu’e looked at her phone, “Oh, no battery left.” She was about to ask why he didn’t wait in the car, but looking around, she didn’t see his car and stopped herself.
Luo Xuan seemed to sense her thoughts, “The road is too slippery, I came by subway!”
Seeing him shivering and stamping his feet to keep warm, she couldn’t bear to turn him away, “Come up and warm yourself inside!” She said, turning to walk upstairs.
Inside the house, Chu’e turned on the air conditioning, “Did you want something?”
Luo Xuan lazily leaned against the radiator, “I want you to celebrate something with me!”
“Celebrate?” She looked at him, puzzled, “Celebrate what?”
“Celebrate my return to being single!”
With a “clang”, the teacup in Chu’e’s hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. Her body stiffened, and after a long moment, she said with difficulty, “You… got divorced?”
Luo Xuan looked at her intently, “Lin Lan just signed the divorce agreement…” His words barely concealing his ease and satisfaction.
