”I know I can't blame her, but there's no better time than this. She already knew that we were not related by blood, and that she would be suspicious if we were to divorce her. This is the best chance, or she wouldn't have left. ”

The girl who looked cute and soft was actually very stubborn.

She knew him well enough to know that he loved her, and that he would be forced to part with her for a woman he had just met.

Zhu Zinan went silent, unable to speak further.

On the second day, Lu Qinan stayed at the Gu’s Yard and did not leave. The two children went to school before returning. She locked herself in her room, her entire mind a mess.

Fourth Uncle did not come back during the night. She thought of many possibilities and her phone picked up countless times, pressing the familiar number but in the end, she did not dial.

He was very anxious and anxious in his heart and only when it was afternoon did he secretly call Lian Shuyan and ask him about the old man's situation.

”The heart valve that was repaired a few years ago is still hanging, but he's not waking up yet. It was hard to say how long he could bear it. Come to think of it, why would he suddenly have a heart attack when he's perfectly fine. Usually, even if Gu Yanjun appeared, the old man's endurance would not be so low … ”

Lu Qinan rubbed his hurting eyes and explained in a small voice, ”At that time, Gu Yanjun grabbed the old man's collar and wanted to pinch him, but I clearly remember that the old man's expression was still normal a moment ago. Gu Yanjun probably didn't have the time to use any strength, and he suddenly twitched.”

”In less than five minutes, my heartbeat stopped.”

It was common for people with heart disease to have sudden cardiac arrest, but if Gu Yanjun did not provoke him, with the old man's endurance and temporarily healing body, he shouldn't have had a sudden attack.

Lian Shuyan paused, his expression becoming heavy, ”I can't open my chest now, after all, the old man is still too old. ”If it wasn't for the external stimulus, I'm afraid there's another reason. I'll look for the dean right now …”

”Doctor Lian, is Fourth Uncle still there?”

He was about to hang up when he heard a soft voice coming from inside.

Lian Shuyan sighed, ”He's already gone, and I can't find Gu Yanjun's location. Keeping watch at the hospital isn't his way out.”

”At this point, it should be time for the Gu’s Yard.”

Lu Qinan replied with an ”Oh”. Finally, she heard the familiar sound of parking, and old steward shouted ”Four Young Master”. In the cold winter night, her heart was suddenly worried.

Heavy footsteps came in from afar, accompanied by the concerned voice of the old steward, ”Four Young Master, eat something. This is a soup that the Fourth Young Madam made personally, it's warm for you.

”No need.”

He answered straightforwardly and pushed open the door.

Lu Qinan raised his eyes, facing the man's stern figure, his clothes that he did not change in time started to wrinkle, the blood on his clothes were still unwashed, and even his body seemed to be reeking of blood.

He was already tall and big. Compared to the woman in front of him who was shorter by a head, this was an almost crushing victory.

As the light above his head shone down, the bright, dazzling light caused his face to turn pale. It was so cold that it caused people to feel a chill in their hearts when they saw how estranged he was from the light.

”Fourth Uncle.”

She forced a smile and habitually took his jacket, but her heart was still dull and aching. ”Does the wound hurt?”

Gu Zhongshen glanced at her, his gloomy eyes narrowing. With a few rustling sounds, he took out a document from his briefcase.

”Look, if there are no problems, then just sign it.”

Lu Qinan's hand was still hanging in midair, and her small face was deathly pale. The tip of her nose was aching in that instant, and her tears were about to uncontrollably fall …

On the clean white paper, there was a large black mark — the divorce agreement.

Seeing that she did not say a word, the man placed the document on the table. His eyes did not contain any warmth, and after a few seconds of silence, he said with a difficult voice, ”I'll give you my name for the villa. Nanny Qian will continue taking care of it for you.”

Lu Qinan lowered his eyes as his vision turned blurry, and he could only speak in a low voice.

”Fourth Uncle, we are not blood related … We have been identified, but we are not relatives. ”

The air was still for two seconds. She raised her head and met his calm eyes.

After a long while, his thin, cold lips curled up. ”So what?”

Lu Qinan was startled, then suddenly understood why he was so calm … His lips were trembling and his face was ashen white. He looked at Ye Zichen blankly and asked, ”You knew about it from the beginning?”

She gasped.

He already knew, yet he wanted to divorce her!

He already knew this, but he didn't want to tell her. He wanted her to not dare to be with him!

Gu Zhongshen did not speak. Her jaw lines tightened and the fists that landed at her side tightened as well. A complicated emotion that she could not see clearly flashed through her pitch-black eyes.

After a long while, he finally made a move.

Lu Qinan lowered his head, and only heard his footsteps. He directly walked into the bathroom.

The sound of water splashing could be heard from inside as she stood there, her fingers trembling as she picked up the divorce agreement and opened it.

It was an entry on the division of property, giving her a house and property rights, and... The custody of food.

With a ”pata” sound, tears finally burst out of his eyes.

At this moment, Lu Qinan finally understood his determination to split up. He couldn't even bear to eat like that … He gave it to her.

Coming out from the bathroom, the dense mist was scattered outside. Gu Zhongshen stood at the side and used a towel to slowly wipe his wet hair. Holding onto a sore spot, he opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to say something.

In the past, his wife would always help him wipe his hair.
