31 Contract Marriage (29)
It was quiet for a few seconds. Even the air was still.
Jiang Yuan could clearly feel that Gu Xichaoâs hand had tightened to the point where it was painful.
She frowned and looked up at the beautiful gentleman.
Why was he not happy?!
Wasnât he the one who gave her the divorce settlement agreement?
Jiang Yuan couldnât help but grumble in her mind.
âSomeone had shredded the last copy, so I have printed a new one.
âPlease sign it again.â
With that, Jiang Yuan then pushed the divorce settlement agreement in Gu Xichaoâs direction.
Her smile was brighter than usual, her brows bent. It made her seem like she didnât care.
The manâs beautiful face darkened a little, as his cherry-blossom red lips were pursed.
His face seemed to say, âI am not happyâ.
At first, he didnât say a word.
Then, he let go of Jiang Yuanâs hands and picked up the divorce settlement agreement on the table.
He looked down at it without paying much attention. When he saw the words âJiang Yuanâ on it, his blue eyes grew darker.
The corner of the manâs cherry-red lips lifted, forming a pretty, cold arc.
In a flash.
His long, pale fingers shredded the papers in his hand into pieces of papers.
Jiang Yuan was surprised.
She looked at him with her large, beautiful eyes. Her tone slightly raised as she asked, âGu Xichao, what are you doing?â
Why did he suddenly tear up the divorce settlement agreement?
Why did he suddenly go mad?
(????)
The manâs brows didnât even move as he slowly took a piece of tissue paper to clean his long fingers.
âI shredded the last one.â
Jiang Yuan choked at his words as her eyelids twitched. âWhy?â
Didnât he want to divorce?
That was Jiang Yuanâs first thought. However, she couldnât think of any other reason why Gu Xichao would change his mind.
Wait.
She then looked back at this manâs weird actions.
A shocking thought appeared in Jiang Yuanâs mind.
âCould Gu Xichao have fallen in love with me?â she wondered.
Jiang Yuan then looked up at the man sitting opposite her and then looked at his beautiful, cold face. She then quietly erased such a ridiculous thought from her mind.
How was that possible?
âI have thought hard about it. We should not divorce at this time.â
The man was calm, and his tone serious and intellectual as if he was dealing with official work.
âGrandfather wouldnât agree, and there are too many business relationships between the Jiang family and the Gu family. Divorce wouldnât do any good to both our families. Not to mention that you couldnât possibly want my father-in-law and mother-in-law to be worried about you?â
His voice was raspy, and like music to the ears, and the way he put it was logical and reasonable.
Jiang Yuan had almost let him have his way.
However, she still didnât stop herself from saying, âWe can get the divorce paper done first. We donât have to announce it to the public...â
Jiang Yuan quietly shut her mouth up as the man stared at her.
Gu Xichaoâs lips turned into a sneer as he asked, âWhy? It seems like you canât wait.â
His voice low, and his whisper seem to hang the air.
Jiang Yuan looked at him, confused. âWhat?â
The confusion on the womanâs pale, beautiful face was genuine. Her cold, black eyes stared at him, and she blinked slowly.
Gu Xichao shook his head and said, âNothing, letâs eat.â
Att this time, their dishes were served, and both of them didnât speak as if they had a mutual understanding.
