Ex-husband CEO Don’t be Rampant - C40
When Li Zhan Chen came out of the bathroom, Gu Zhi Qiu was already gone. He looked at the empty bed and kept silent for a while, but felt that it would be better if she wasn’t there. Otherwise, he didn’t know what kind of expression he should have or what he should say to her this morning.
Li Shao Han took the honey water downstairs and went back to his room.
He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he was doing. Since he wasn’t going to do it, his brother was going to do it anyway. He was just doing it on his behalf.
But thinking about the last time Gu Zhi Qiu’s body was in pain, Li Shao Han didn’t dare to use too many medicines, so she dissolved half of them and took them.
When Gu Zhi Qiu sat on the dining table, Li Zhan Chen still hadn’t come down. Li Shao Han smiled gently as he pushed the honey water in front of Gu Zhi Qiu.
Gu Zhi Qiu looked at him with a questioning look, then smiled: “Last night, it rained and the cold air was great. In the morning, I drank a cup of honey water, but I didn’t say anything.
Gu Zhi Qiu looked at the honey water and smiled faintly.
The two brothers were really the same. They both gave her a cup of honey water in the morning.
Gu Zhi Qiu stared at her, and continued to smile: “Sister-in-law, drink all of it in one go, drink it all.”
Gu Zhi Qiu blinked her eyes, nodded her head, and drank all the remaining of the honey water.
Just then, Li Zhan Chen walked downstairs. Gu Zhi Qiu saw his eyes lit up, and quickly wrote two words on the scribble board for him to see.
These two simple words had the words, ‘Good morning’. However, it was a clear indication that she was not interested in the past anymore.
“Good morning.” Li Zhan Chen looked at her and the things that happened in the dream once again appeared in his mind. Li Zhan Chen pursed his lips and pretended that nothing had happened as he walked down the stairs, while he smiled at him.
The haze that had accumulated in Li Zhan Chen’s heart for the past few days, had actually begun to dissipate quietly.
After sitting down, Li Zhan Chen’s lower lip slightly curled. The three of them had breakfast together, but there was only Li Shao Han here, and he was not happy from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at Li Zhan Chen, Li Shao Han said deliberately: “Today is the weekend, do you want to stay at home or go out?”
Li Zhan Chen looked at Li Shao Han, and pursed his lips. In the past, he would not be at home for the weekends, after all, he did not like being with Gu Zhi Qiu for an entire day.
Today, there wouldn’t be an exception, but …
He rare opened his mouth and said, “This morning, I made an appointment with Chu Yinan to play golf.”
When Gu Zhi Qiu heard the name ‘Chu Yi Nan’, she felt slightly more at ease. Chu Yi Nan was Li Zhan Chen’s friend, so she knew him. Li Zhan Chen did not lie, and there was no need for him to. Since he said it, she must be going to meet Chu Yi Nan.
The corner of Gu Zhi Qiu’s mouth raised slightly. He had purposely said it out to give her an explanation, right?
He had a nagging feeling that the relationship between the two of them had eased a little. Perhaps his efforts over the past year had not been in vain. Gradually, he would give himself more patience and tolerance.
Li Shao Han laughed dryly, “Oh really, I also happen to want to go out. Let’s go together.”
Li Shao Han saw that his interference was of no use, and did not say a word.
His brother being like this always gave Gu Zhi Qiu hope as to when they would be able to get a divorce.
After eating breakfast, Li Shao Han deliberately went out together with Li Zhan Chen. In front of the door, Li Shao Han waved his hand at Gu Zhi Qiu: “Sister-in-law, let’s go.”
Gu Zhi Qiu liked this kind of morning when her husband sent her out. Although her husband did not look back to say goodbye, although her uncle was talking to her, she was still happy, probably because she slept better last night, so her mood also improved.
After watching the two of them leave the room, Gu Zhi Qiu went back upstairs.
Outside the door, Li Zhan Chen glanced at Li Shao Han and said: “You don’t need to specifically say anything to her, right?”
“That’s good manners.” Li Shao Han raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying: “Brother, please send me off, I don’t want to drive.”
“How are you going to come back if you don’t drive?”
The car gradually drove out of Li Family’s villa. On the way, Li Shao Han looked at him and said: “I saw Gu Zhi Qiu coming out of your room this morning, and I thought that it was Friday the night before, after thinking carefully, it was Saturday. Brother, aren’t you going to go back to your Friday routine, and changed it to Saturday already?”
Li Zhan Chen frowned, and looked at him: “You wanted to ask about this, so you intentionally took my carriage?”
Li Shao Han raised his eyebrows. “More or less, with Gu Zhi Qiu at home, it’s still inconvenient to speak.”
Li Zhan Chen pursed his lips. He was a little unhappy with Li Shao Han’s question.
“Isn’t it normal for her to come out of my room? After all, they are husband and wife. ” Li Zhan Chen answered as if it was natural.
On the other hand, it was only he who found it abnormal to keep an eye on the relationship between him and Gu Zhi Qiu. Li Zhan Chen also wanted to convince himself that the reason he persuaded his little brother was to help him, but somewhere along the way, he felt that something was off.
“Big brother, I’m just worried. Year after year.” Li Shao Han smiled as he shook his head: “You aren’t fierce enough towards her, and always keep a little bit of gentleness within you. It will only make her feel that there’s hope, that she has even more extravagant hopes, and that she doesn’t want to get a divorce.”
Li Zhan Chen drove and pursed his lips. Through the mirror, he saw’s smiling face, which was always smiling. Although it was different from his smiling face, he had also used another method to hide his true feelings.
“Shao Han, do you really wish for her to be swept out of the Li Family, or leave the Li Family, or just for me to divorce her?”
Li Shao Han looked at him, his phoenix eyes raised, and the corner of his lips lifted in an extremely moving curve. He replied leisurely: “I hope that she will be completely driven out of the Li Family, and will never again step foot into the Li Family. Even to the extent of leaving this city, walking far away, and never coming back.”
Li Zhan Chen frowned, sighed, and said softly: “There’s no need for that.”
His words and his thoughts were even more ruthless than his own.
Li Zhan Chen had never thought about Gu Zhi Qiu’s future, he was hoping for a divorce, and didn’t think too much about it. After a divorce, Gu Zhi Qiu would be free, she could continue living in the city, and he wouldn’t force her.
It was just that she shouldn’t do something that would ruin another’s happiness and force them to marry her.
