The world was so big, but my path was so narrow. I actually jumped into Gu Cheng's arms without any reason. In order not to let this arrogant fellow make fun of me, I hurriedly took two steps back and pretended to be nonchalant. I raised my head and sneered."What's there to regret? I still have to thank you for giving me my freedom!”
Gu Cheng was 1.8 meters tall and slightly plump. He was wearing a black motorcycle leather jacket of excellent quality. A maroon woolen sweater leaked out from the open lapel, and he was wearing dark blue jeans. The brand new leather boots on his feet sparkled against the white snow. He looked much younger and more dashing than before. His bottomless eyes quickly swept across my body, and a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth."I didn't expect you to be so open-minded. I'm very happy!”
I glanced at him and laughed coldly like him."What era are we in now? Divorce won't kill anyone. I'll definitely be able to get over it. Besides, without you, I can still fall in love with someone else. Aiya, just thinking about it makes me excited!”I deliberately pretended to be happy, wanting to suppress Gu Cheng's arrogance and let him know that I could still live happily without him.
Gu Cheng was shocked by my actions. He stared at me for a long time. His lips moved slightly, but he didn't say a word. Hmph, the current Ye Qiu was no longer the silly girl from two years ago. So what if you're tall, rich, and handsome? I won't cling onto you like other women. When we leave the Civil Affairs Bureau, you'll go your own way and I'll go my own way. I'll just treat everything that happened in the past as a fool's dream.
"Gu Cheng, it's getting late!" A beautiful woman in a white fur coat and a short skirt suddenly appeared. She held Gu Cheng's arm with a charming smile and said with a breath like an orchid.
Gu Cheng immediately came back to his senses and revealed a naughty smile on his face. He reached out and gently patted the woman's small face. He pushed her in front of me and introduced her,"Oh right, Ye Qiu, I forgot to introduce you. Her name is Yao Rao, and she will soon become my wife.”
I looked up at this noble lady. She was 1.75 meters tall, with delicate makeup, an oval face, willow-like eyebrows, a pair of big eyes that could speak, a tall chest, and a slender waist. She was indeed a beauty that could bewitch all living beings.
Yao Rao also sized me up. I think she must be wondering in her heart, Gu Cheng is such a young and promising business leader, how could he have such an ordinary-looking wife? No wonder Gu Cheng has never brought this woman to any events. Actually, Yao Rao was wrong. In the past, it wasn't that Gu Cheng didn't want to bring me to events, but that I didn't want to show my face in front of everyone and let others say that a Cinderella like me could actually get close to a prince.
Yao Rao looked at me carefully until she was satisfied. After which, she laughed contemptuously and said in a sharp voice,"Are you really Gu Cheng's ex-wife?"
"Please mind your words," I said coldly."It's not your ex-wife but your wife!" We haven't gotten a divorce yet!"
Yao Rao didn't think that an unremarkable woman like me would have such a sharp tongue. Her 'V' shaped pretty face darkened, but she quickly put on an act and laughed."Yes, I misspoke. You guys haven't divorced yet! Ye Qiu, thank you for taking care of Gu Cheng in the past!”
He used to be my husband. It's only right for me to take care of him. Why would I need a vixen like you to smoke here? I was completely angered by Yao Rao's arrogant attitude. I laughed coldly and said,"What are you talking about? Even if I raise a dog, I will take good care of it!”
"Ye Qiu, how can you say that? Gu Cheng is a big shot in this city. How can you insult him like this?”Yao Rao didn't expect that her pretentious act would be met with my vicious words. She was so angry that her face turned green and purple. She glared at me with her big eyes and wanted nothing more than to swallow me alive.
Seeing Yao Rao's fierce expression, the anger that I had suppressed for three to four months completely burst out. I roared,"So what if I scolded him? Is your heart aching? He's just a dog that I abandoned, you know? It's just a dog. Do you think you've picked up a treasure? "Hahaha!" After I finished speaking, I lost control and laughed out loud, but my eyes were already wet.
Yao Rao was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She didn't care about her beautiful image as she pointed her slender finger at me and scolded loudly,"You crazy woman, no wonder Gu Cheng doesn't want you anymore!”
"What did you say? Who was the crazy woman? Watch your mouth!" I was like an enraged beast as I roared loudly. I stretched out my hand and wanted to rush over to give Yao Rao a slap. I wanted to let her know the consequences of destroying someone else's family. However, my rationality told me that I couldn't do that. Otherwise, Gu Cheng would look down on me and think that I still couldn't let him go.
Yao Rao wasn't afraid of me at all. She raised her head and puffed out her round chest as she glared at me fiercely."Look at your shrew. I don't want to argue with a woman like you.”
In my eyes, no matter how noble and flirtatious Yao Rao was, she was still a mistress after all. She should be timid when she saw me, her first wife. However, this woman was actually so confident that she didn't put me in her eyes at all. It seemed that if I didn't use some ruthless methods, it would be very difficult to make this shameless woman admit defeat. Ever since I was young, I've always been timid and afraid of trouble, but today, I don't know where I got the courage to compete with Yao Rao. At this moment, I completely lost my rationality. I raised my hand and slapped this arrogant woman in front of me. However, Yao Rao was tall and slender. She turned around and dodged, causing me to miss. Moreover, I was pushed to the ground by her. As I sat on the cold floor, my strength immediately turned into silent tears. Looking at this proud woman in front of me, I no longer had any strength to fight back. It's not that I'm afraid of Yao Rao, but I feel that there's no point in fighting like this. Do I want Gu Cheng to see that I can't bear to leave him?
Gu Cheng just watched me and Yao Rao play around. He didn't expect me, who used to be like a little lamb, to be so strong and brave today. There's a saying that people only grow when they face adversity. After so many things, I'm no longer that silly girl who doesn't know anything about the world.
A satisfied smile suddenly appeared on Gu Cheng's bronze-colored face as he strode toward Yao Rao and the two of them.
"Are you done? If this continued, the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau would have to get off work!”Gu Cheng coldly glared at Yao Rao, then turned back to look at me. There was an unconcealable tenderness in his eyes." Ye Qiu, are you alright?”
I forced a smile and stood up. I said coldly,"What can her fox claws do to me?”
When Yao Rao heard me scolding her in a roundabout manner, she was so angry that her face turned pale. Seeing Gu Cheng standing in front of her, she suppressed the anger in her heart and gently held Gu Cheng's arm. She said coquettishly,"Look, she's scolding me again. I don't want to see her again!”
Gu Cheng didn't say anything. He just nodded indifferently and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau with Yao Rao.
Seeing that it was getting late, I didn't want to be entangled with Yao Rao any longer. I got up and patted the dust off my body. I picked up my bag and strode in front of Gu Cheng and Yao Rao.
Yao Rao walked behind him and muttered,"Divorce is more urgent than marriage. There's really something wrong with his brain!”
Because it was Christmas today, there were many people who came to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificates. Gu Cheng and I waited outside for a long time. After seeing that there was no one in the office, we walked in one after another.
"Hello, comrade. Let's go through the divorce procedures!”Gu Cheng said politely to the staff.
The slightly plump man glanced at Gu Cheng and me and asked expressionlessly,"Have you thought about it? Are you really going to get a divorce?"
Gu Cheng and I answered in unison,"Yes, sir!"
The man shook his head and said to himself,""Divorce is also fashionable in this era!" He took Gu Cheng and my marriage certificate and took out some things for us to sign. We didn't look at anything and signed our names very elegantly. After everything was over, the man said,""It's done. You can leave now!”
I slowly stood up. My mind was blank. I didn't think about anything. I just wanted to hurry back to the hospital and let the busy work numb my lost and empty heart.
Gu Cheng waved at the door. I stopped in my tracks in confusion. Was he calling me? Did he regret it? Just as I was foolishly fantasizing about whether a miracle would happen, Yao Rao walked to Gu Cheng's side with a radiant face.
"Comrade, we want to go through the marriage procedures!”Gu Cheng smiled at the fat man.
The fat man was obviously frightened by Gu Cheng's words. He didn't even raise his head and said in surprise,"You're regretting it so quickly and want to remarry, right?”
"Comrade, you misunderstood. I want to go through the marriage procedures with this lady!”Gu Cheng looked at Yao Rao, who was leaning against him, and said seriously.
The man looked up at Gu Cheng and Yao Rao and said after a moment of silence,""Alright then!"
When I heard Gu Cheng's words, my hurt heart split open again. I didn't expect Gu Cheng to let me witness his marriage with Yao Rao. How cruel was this? What was this man's heart made of? How cruel was he to be so? How much did he want to hurt me before he was satisfied?
I silently watched Gu Cheng's back. He was the man who had loved me for more than two years. One minute, he was looking at me with tender eyes, but the next minute, he was going to grow old with another woman. 'I don't know what else I can trust in this world. Are those vivid memories just a dream? Are those sweet words just Gu Cheng's hypocritical performance?' I thought I was the happiest woman in the world, but I didn't want to become the most stupid and pitiful person in the world!
I didn't know how I walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau building, but I remembered Yao Rao's sweet and happy smile. I thought I was strong enough to not be sad over a man, but when it really happened, I was still as helpless as all women. Tears rolled down my cold face like broken beads. It suddenly snowed outside again. I was so cold that I shivered. I wrapped the brown scarf around my neck tightly and stood in the falling snow, waving to stop the taxis that were speeding past. My luck was pretty good. After a while, I called a taxi. When I got into the car, I saw Gu Cheng and Yao Rao walking over while talking and laughing. Tears welled up in my eyes again.
The driver looked at me curiously. I shouted at him angrily,"What are you looking at? Hurry up and leave!" The taxi driver turned his head and stepped on the accelerator. My head almost hit the glass on the car window. I was extremely tired and closed my wet eyes. I didn't want to see this chaotic fake world anymore. I didn't want to be sad and haggard for anyone or anything!
