Chapter 610: Chapter 3: Ireland, the Country Where Divorce Is Forbidden
——Yiyi, I hope you get what you wish for.
After successfully sending Sheng Yi onto a plane flying to M Country, Gu Yuan returned to the company. In the afternoon, there were still two meetings related to the food store. It was predicted that the meetings would end very late, so while there was time, Gu Yuan made a phone call to Chi Yu.
On the other side, the call was picked up, and there was some annoying static noise from the receiver.
Gu Yuan asked, "Where are you?"
It seemed like the other side was waiting for the static to disappear. After about ten seconds, the bothersome noise finally faded, and then his voice came through: "In Hai City."
She thought he would say specifically where he was or what he was doing.
The result was just a sentence stating he was in Hai City.
Of course, I know you’re in Hai City.
Gu Yuan didn’t say much either, just acknowledged with a sound, looking at the watch on her wrist. As it wasn’t noon and was already two in the afternoon, there was no need to ask if he had eaten. It felt like suddenly there was nothing to talk about, and he said nothing either.
She remembered when she actively pulled him to the civil affairs bureau and they couldn’t remarry. Perhaps over time, some things silently become strained, not to mention that she had done so many things to hurt his feelings.
"If there’s nothing else, then I’ll..." hang up.
"What about you? What are you doing?"
About to say she would hang up, but before she finished, his words interrupted.
She thought to herself that he finally found something to say.
"About to have a meeting, there are two meetings this afternoon." She told the man on the other end, with a tone no different from usual.
He responded with a sound: "Then you go ahead, if there’s anything, we’ll talk after you’re finished."
Then waited for her to hang up first.
When the two afternoon meetings were over, it was already eight in the evening.
After the meetings ended, Gu Yuan was very tired.
Planning to go straight back to the Gu Mansion, she called to ask Grandma Mu about how Suisui was doing today, only to learn that Chi Yu had also returned to the Gu Mansion.
"What time did he come back?"
Grandma Mu replied: "Around seven in the evening, Mr. Chi didn’t eat after he came back. I just prepared some food, Miss Gu, have you eaten?"
"I’ve eaten." Gu Yuan replied plainly: "I still have some things in hand, and I might come back very late. If it’s really too late, I’ll just stay at the office tonight. Tell Suisui if she asks, but if she doesn’t, don’t mention it. Chi Yu will look after her."
Hearing that Gu Yuan might not come back tonight, Grandma Mu worriedly said, "If I had known, I would have boiled some pig’s trotters soup for you, Miss Gu, this is too tiring for you."
"It’s nothing, Grandma Mu, you should rest early after you’re done."
"Oh, okay."
Grandma Mu put down the phone and looked at the man sitting opposite, which was Mr. Chi. The little princess was right next to Mr. Chi, holding a new toy, a high-end Rubik’s Cube that Chi Yu had brought back casually. With Mr. Chi watching, Grandma Mu could work without worry.
She was contemplating whether to tell Mr. Chi that Miss Gu wouldn’t come back tonight when Mr. Chi happened to ask, "She’s not coming back tonight either?"
The voice, at first hear, felt cool and distant.
Grandma Mu suddenly remembered that it seemed Miss Gu and Mr. Chi had not been getting along well the past two days. If Miss Gu really was delayed by work and didn’t return tonight, then it added up to two nights in a row that she hadn’t come back.
"Not sure yet, Mr. Chi," Grandma Mu said straightforwardly: "Miss Gu said there is still some work not finished at the company, probably something important, and mentioned that if it gets too late, she’ll stay at the office."
Chi Yu responded with a sound: "Got it."
Suisui, who was fiddling with the high-end Rubik’s Cube, heard the conversation between Chi Yu and Grandma Mu, raised her head, and asked, "Is Mommy not coming back tonight?"
Before Grandma Mu could say anything.
Chi Yu said, "Yes, not coming back, she doesn’t want us, the father and daughter."
Suisui widened her eyes, and threw the Rubik’s Cube into Chi Yu’s arms: "No way, Mommy wants me, Mommy wants me, Mommy wants me."
Said it three times.
Representing that important things need to be said three times.
After saying it three times, Suisui didn’t forget to add: "Mommy doesn’t want you."
"..." Chi Yu felt a pang in his heart.
Grandma Mu, beside them, chuckled, watching Mr. Chi being flustered. She didn’t know why, but the more she looked, the more pleasing Mr. Chi seemed now than before.
...
Gu Yuan, after hanging up the call, didn’t react much, thinking to herself that if you have nothing to say to me, I’m also too lazy to say anything to you. Let’s just keep things separate, saying it would just be perfunctory, why make things difficult for myself?
In fact, the company’s matters had already finished, and it was time for her to go back now.
But as she said on the phone, she didn’t feel like going back to see Chi Yu’s cold face. He had just regained his memory the past couple of days, likely being quite irritable. Better to wait until his temper calms down before appearing in front of him. Otherwise, going now would just annoy him.
