Chapter 1084: Chapter 1083: So This Lady Is Mrs. Gu (2)
Because his work was going poorly, Zhang Hong also started to develop a bad habit of drinking.
Often coming home drunk, Xia Xiaoqiao had tried to persuade him multiple times, but he repeatedly remained unchanged.
After this happened frequently, Xia Xiaoqiao began to become annoyed.
Moreover, fully relying on Xia Xiaoqiao’s employment, the burden of their livelihood was heavily pressed upon her alone.
Xia Xiaoqiao truly felt that this miserable life was not what she desired.
Therefore, she proposed a breakup, but what kind of person was Zhang Hong? He had already grown accustomed to depending on women, so like glue, he refused to let go.
...
It took several twists and turns for Xia Xiaoqiao to finally get rid of Zhang Hong, mainly because he met a rich girl; otherwise, he wouldn’t have let go so easily.
Nevertheless, no matter what, she got rid of him, and her new life officially began.
After hearing this, Fang Min seemed to understand something.
“New target? What type is it?” Fang Min asked with a nosy tone.
“Hmm, I’ll keep it secret for now because it’s all just my own wishful thinking for the moment, hoping for the day when clouds part to reveal the moon.” When Xia Xiaoqiao spoke, her face was full of bashfulness.
In the past, her vision had been too narrow, which led to bad choices, but now, she knew what type she liked and admired. With such a good example in front of her, she believed she wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
Seeing her good friend start a new life, Fang Min was happy for her.
Fang Min knew all too well what sort of person Zhang Hong was; previously, Xia Xiaoqiao couldn’t break free from him, and now that he left on his own accord, nothing could be better.
Fang Min sighed, then looked around. Suddenly, her gaze was attracted by a handsome couple not far away.
The man was mature and stable, with a refined aura; the woman, gentle and charming—a perfect match indeed.
She had seen handsome men and pretty women before, but this couple felt genuinely harmonious, a great match.
She was somewhat transfixed.
“What’s up? What are you looking at?” Xia Xiaoqiao couldn’t help but ask, noticing that Fang Min kept looking in that direction.
“Look, that couple over there is outstanding, aren’t they? A real match.” Fang Min’s voice was full of envy. “Really? Let me see.” Xia Xiaoqiao followed the voice and looked over to where the couple was.
The man was wearing a well-fitted shirt with a designer watch on his wrist; the woman, a white dress.
The man, looking so striking, was unmistakably Gu Shaoting.
Xia Xiaoqiao was truly both shocked and delighted; she couldn’t believe they could cross paths among the vast sea of people.
She really couldn’t believe her eyes.
Soon, Xia Xiaoqiao’s hopes were shattered, for seated across from Gu Shaoting was a woman.

At that moment, the woman was engrossed in eating while Gu Shaoting watched her with indulgence.
“Do you think they’re already husband and wife? They do look well-matched,” Fang Min asked gossipingly.
Xia Xiaoqiao shook her head, indicating she didn’t know.
“They probably are, otherwise wouldn’t they be afraid of others noticing such intimate behavior in such a public place?” Xia Xiaoqiao’s tone was sour.
The blow to her tonight was somewhat heavy. It turned out Mr. Gu cared so much for Mrs. Gu. Just now, she didn’t dare stare at him for fear of being discovered, but just with a quick glance, she could already see the tenderness in Mr. Gu’s eyes, as if it could drip water.
So, he also had such a tender side, not as cold as he used to be.
It turns out his tenderness also depended on the recipient; not everyone could have it.
