Chapter 10 You Were So Fierce Just Now Too

Since Gu Xi could help her family and the love of her life, Gu Xue’er decided to focus on this point, which made it hard for Gu Xi to reject her. At that time, Gu Xue’er had vowed that if they succeeded, they would do everything in their power to help Gu Xi with the divorce. Thus, Gu Xi foolishly agreed. Therefore, news that was originally only known by a few people on the inside had been disclosed. The Gu family even took the opportunity to publicize it further by selling the news to other companies. In the process of earning a lot of money through selling the news, they also sold their decency. As for Gu Xue’er, the person behind everything, she was naturally praised endlessly by her father. She joined the Gu Family Group’s Board of Directors before she graduated university, and was even brought along to most meetings by her father, making her famous. What was ridiculous about the entire thing was that Gu Xi was even happy for Gu Xue’er. At that time, Gu Xi truly did see them as her family. However, she was nothing more than a pawn to them. A pawn that did everything for them before she was brutally abandoned. In this life, divorce would never be possible unless Xing Beiyan did not love her and wanted her to leave. Otherwise, she would never suggest divorce. Gu Xi gritted her teeth, her expression shifting for a moment. In Xing Beiyan’s eyes, this meant another thing altogether. He thought his smoking had made her angry. After a brief moment of hesitation, he said, “I won’t smoke anymore.” ‘So, we won’t need to divorce right?’ Xing Beiyan thought to himself. “You won’t?” Gu Xi looked up at him and questioned. She was stunned once she noticed his awkward expression. Did this fellow think that she was angry because she caught him smoking? My gosh! “You’ll stop smoking?” Gu Xi almost laughed at the thought of this. “Yes,” Xing Beiyan said with a solemn nod of his head. Not being able to resist it anymore, she burst out laughing. “You’ve promised me now, so no backing out.” “Of course, when have I ever gone back on my word? Hmm?” Xing Beiyan stared at Gu Xi with a serious glint in his eyes. “Never, never. Let’s sit down and talk.” She pulled him to the couch before setting the bowl down. “What exactly do you want to do?” Xing Beiyan finally realized that something was off. If Gu Xi wanted to suggest a divorce, she would have made a huge fuss about it already. She would never act like how she was acting now. The obvious flattery was going to throw him off entirely now. “I want to go back to university,” Gu Xi said as she joined her hands together. She glanced at Xing Beiyan once before she dipped her head again, her hands coming together once more. “That’s it?” Xing Beiyan looked at her in surprise. “If not? What did you think I wanted to do?” Gu Xi jutted her lower lip out. She remembered how angry he looked previously and felt extremely wronged. “You were so fierce just now too.” Xing Beiyan immediately felt himself relax. As he looked at Gu Xi’s upset appearance, his face immediately softened. “We’re not getting a divorce?” “No, who’s getting a divorce? I’m not letting you divorce me.” Gu Xi was shocked and immediately explained. ‘I wonder who was acting like it was life or death before…’ Xing Beiyan grumbled inwardly. “Darling, I was wrong.” Gu Xi knew she had brought Xing Beiyan a lot of trouble and felt remorseful about it. She carefully tugged the corner of his shirt, her apology incredibly sincere. Xing Beiyan did not actually want to scold her. Gu Xi was the angel he protected all these years. When he was ten, he had been punished so severely he had to lie in bed. Just then, a lost little girl ran into his room crying and asking for her mother. Xing Beiyan’s heart had completely melted at her crying. With his aching body full of wounds, he quickly consoled her. Although the little girl had reacted quickly, she did not run away out of fear the first time. Instead, she lightly blew upon his wounds, which were hurting him like fire.
