169 I Want a Divorce 7 (1/2)

No rush, easy does it.

She had plenty of time anyway.

A smirk formed on Sun Weiwei's lips as she drove off alone.

Major news had been breaking out and being reported on tabloids and entertainment news of late.

News concerning the few major wealthy families of the country were making the headlines for days, causing the frivolous news about celebrities to pale in comparison.

Although Bai Ranran had already passed on, the tabloids and media reporters were still bent on uncovering the history of her romance with Ye Xiaotian.

It went on continuously for days and only came to an end when Ye Xiaotian proceeded to issue a warning to the media companies.

After being hospitalized for ten days, An Xiaoning could finally get out of bed and was free to move about. Although she could move about with ease, the doctor had advised her against strenuous activity. All the same, she still had to continue to rest for a period of time before she could completely recover.

She had initially planned to settle the divorce proceedings with Jin Qingyan the day after. However, it also happened to be the day of Jin Qingyue and Shi Shaochuan's wedding.

Thus, she dismissed the idea and decided to wait until their wedding was over.

Gu Beicheng paid An Xiaoning a visit at the hospital, bringing along her favorite food. At the sight of his arrival, she sat up straight and said, grinning from ear to ear, ”That must be something delicious.”

”Of course. I only ever bring you food that's tasty. Quick, have it while it's hot,” he answered, handing her a pair of chopsticks.

An Xiaoning nodded and began digging in.

”Let's take a walk after you're finished eating, so as to aid digestion.”

”Sure.” After some consideration, she continued, ”I'd like to get discharged tomorrow.”

”But the doctor said you should stay for a few more days.”

”Nah, I want to go home,” An Xiaoning refuted.

”Well, if you prefer staying at home, just go ahead then,” Gu Beicheng agreed.

After a moment of silence, she asked, ”Beicheng… aren't you curious about why Jin Qingyan stopped showing up here the past few days?”

”He hasn't been coming? I just assumed I didn't bump into him. In fact, I was rather surprised at how strangely coincidental it was that I managed to miss him every time I was here.” Noticing a change in her expression, Gu Beicheng questioned, ”What happened between you two?”

”I initiated it,” An Xiaoning answered, handing him the divorce agreement.

”A divorce?” he gasped in shock upon reading the content of the agreement.

An Xiaoning remained silent and continued eating.

Gu Beicheng began to feel vexed as he continued to peruse the rest of the content. ”You're so money-minded, yet you actually decided to leave the marriage without taking any property or alimony, out of your own accord? Why did you do that? You must've been blinded by love and marriage,” he chided.

Instead of taking offense, An Xiaoning said with a smile, ”Money can always be made again. Besides, I already have more than enough to last me a lifetime now. I might even get to make more in the future, so there's no need to make myself out to be so greedy.”

”Why?”

”Because I can no longer treat him and his family like my own, with genuine sincerity. I don't blame him though, I probably would've done the same. If you were put in his spot, you probably would've too…” An Xiaoning explained.

Before she could even finish her sentence, Gu Beicheng eagerly answered, ”No, if I were in his position, I would've chosen you without a doubt.”

”What if you had to choose between me and your parents?”
