Shang Yiqi stopped himself when he saw the fear in Gu Xiyan's eyes, and suddenly covered her delicate ears with his mouth. One of Shang Yiqi's hands slipped under her camisole and reached behind her to unfasten the clasp of her bra.

  His thin lips spread across her snowy neck, Gu Xiyan struggled to push him away, but he covered the rounded arc on Gu Xiyan's chest and rubbed it wantonly. His icy eyes looked at Gu Xiyan's trembling body, his heart ached, and even his tone dimmed slightly. He said: "Xiyan, no one sleeps with their friends, but you've slept with me countless times, do you remember?"

  "You said I was your bedfellow, didn't you? Let me go, don't touch me again." The tears in the corner of her eyes were even more bitter, Gu Xiyan hated him for bringing up past events. From now on, they no longer had a so-called "past". Everything that happened before was just that - past, and she didn't want to hear it...

  Bed companion. Humph, at that time he was just angry and said she was his exclusive bed companion, but how could she take it seriously? Or is it that in her heart, she actually thought of herself as just one of her bed companions too.

  Friends and bedfellows. Two identities, he equally detested them both. The tears that fell from the corners of her eyes slid down her cheeks into his mouth, a bitter taste, just like always.

  He moved his ear away from her, and his hand also withdrew from her clothes. Shang Xi looked at Gu Xiyuan steadily, thinking to himself that he was being stubborn like a fool. "Have you ever loved me? Even if it's just a tiny bit."

  "No." Two words, and from then on, they were emotionally cut off. How could she not love? It's just that she couldn't love again. Gu Xiyan curled up her lips, but found that the corners of her mouth were too stiff, and she couldn't squeeze out a smile.

  What else is he expecting? No love. Didn't we already know it would be like this? "You must divorce me."

  He narrowed his eyes, Shang Yi started to size up the woman in front of him, her exquisite and beautiful facial features, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall, her slender and delicate figure. What did he love about her? He admitted, she was very pretty, could be considered stunningly beautiful, but he loved her, never because of her beauty, wasn't it?

  Her eyes were a bit dazed at this moment, he used to like her pair of beautiful eyes, both charming and pure. Especially when they made love, there would always be thousands of dazzling lights in her eyes, he loved the soft and silly look on her face when she was emotional. But when she became ruthless, it could make people feel as if they had been stung by thousands of poisonous insects.

  Divorce. The mere thought of her being so eager to be with another man made Shang Yu's blood run cold. She wanted a divorce, she wanted to fall into another man's arms, she would lie beneath another man in the future, her body that had always belonged only to him would be kissed by another man... Damn it, he couldn't do it, he couldn't bear for all this to happen.

  "Brother Shang, I'm not joking, I seriously want a divorce from you. Please, fulfill my wish, okay?" Gu Xiyan thought that Shang Qi had already loosened up, and in her heart, she didn't know whether to feel happy or disappointed.

  "Fine, I'll tell you, it's impossible." Shang Qi's face was cold and unyielding, refusing to let herself show even a hint of sadness. She didn't care about him anymore, but he absolutely couldn't bring himself to let her go, no matter what. When had he become so lowly that after she said all those words about not loving him, he still wouldn't give up? Deep down, there seemed to be a voice telling him that maybe she was just temporarily confused, and if you love her, you should tolerate this one mistake of hers, just this once.

  "We all need to calm down and think carefully about whether you really want a divorce with me, lest we regret it later." Shang Qi said as he was about to open the door and leave. The atmosphere in the room was too depressing, he didn't want to stay here anymore.

  Gu Xiyan was taken aback by his words, and then a boundless pain followed. Why... why did he still refuse to divorce her? This would lead to misunderstandings. Or perhaps, he had simply grown accustomed to having her by his side. No, she shouldn't be indecisive anymore; she didn't want them to end up hurting each other in the end.

  She grasped Shang Qi's arm, suppressing her sobs, and spoke in a detached tone: "Shang Ge, I won't regret it. I've thought it through very clearly. I love Wei Zhe, and I want to go back to him. Only with him can I be without regrets. What's the point of keeping a woman who doesn't have her heart on you by your side? I'm no longer capable of loving you. Wouldn't it be better for us to set each other free? I know my thoughts are selfish, but who isn't selfish when it comes to love? Please grant me this wish."

  She saw Shang Yu's lack of reaction and continued to speak on her own: "Shang Ge, I won't ask for anything from you. Just sign the divorce agreement and that's it. If you don't want to see me, I can stay far away from Wei Zhe and never appear in front of you again. I can leave Beijing, Wei Zhe's family is in T City, which is very far from here, we can go there. I promise for the rest of my life, I will quietly disappear and not affect your future, okay?"

  She would never appear in front of him again, how could she be so heartless. Letting him watch them being happy while leaving himself alone in pain, he couldn't do it, how could she be so ruthless. Only by that man's side would she not regret, so why did she follow him seven years ago, and more than five years ago, why did she agree to marry him, and now, why did she let him fall in love with her. Would she regret being by his side, is that it? She didn't love him, even if he presented all the sincerity in the world to her, she wouldn't care, right?

  "You're not going to give me a child as you promised, are you? How can you talk about divorce so lightly?"

  Shang Yi was facing away from Gu Xiyan, so he naturally didn't see the pain in her eyes when she heard the word "child". Child, originally there indeed was one, but he hadn't even had a chance to look at this world before dying. "Sorry, child I won't be able to give you that. I think, definitely many women will be willing to have children for you. If I have children in the future, then the father of the child will only be Wei Zhe."

  "What did you say?" Shang Xi's anger reached its peak, he turned around and placed both hands on Gu Xiyuan's shoulders, suddenly roaring wildly: "You still want to have children with him. You are my wife, remember this for me, don't allow yourself to have any connection with him again."

  "But I will divorce you. Shang Ge, I've said it before, I want to divorce you. I'm grateful for your care, but that doesn't mean I love you, does it? If you have any requests, you can say them too, as long as you agree to the divorce, no matter what you ask, I'll agree to it, please fulfill my wish." Gu Xiyan's tears had dried up around her eyes, she couldn't see Shang Yueqi's pain because she had been tormented by suffering and could no longer bear it. Now she had embarked on a path of no return, except for moving forward, she had no way back.

  He suddenly laughed, laughing forcefully with an icy cold smile. He had begged her so desperately, giving her chance after chance, yet she still wanted to divorce him. Had he misjudged the person? Why did this woman in front of him, whom he knew so intimately, feel like they were already separated by 108,000 miles? The anger and jealousy burning inside him, along with the pain that had seeped into his bones, overturned everything, and he could only use laughter to conceal the desolation within.

  "Did you agree?" Gu Xiyan was afraid to see such a look on Shang Qi's face. She asked cautiously, her body also trying to shrink towards the door as much as possible.

  "Alas, a military marriage cannot be divorced." Don't even think about it. Since you've made me suffer so much, how can you not suffer with me? We're husband and wife, aren't we still the most mismatched couple under the sky? I love you so deeply, but you despise me, even thinking of escaping far away. "Don't love me, don't even think about leaving. Want to be with that man? Never think about it. For this lifetime, you're destined to be my woman, and you can only be my woman."

  His whole body was cold, Shang Yi said after finishing this sentence, he pushed Gu Xiyan to one side, and he himself turned around and opened the door to go out. His action of opening the door was very forceful, as if venting his anger.

  Gu Xiyan almost fell to the ground, seeing him about to leave, Gu Xiyan stood still and slowly lowered her body.

  "I'm sorry, I know I'm bad, I know I'm selfish. Just this once, please? You're not entirely indifferent to Vice-Principal He, are you? Let's get a divorce, and then you can be with her. You two can have many babies, and Yan'er will like that. She'll soon forget about me. This way, everyone will be happy, won't they?" Except for her, everyone else should be happy, right?

  She actually still wanted to push herself next to He Yu, he had already said they didn't have a relationship, where did she get the conclusion that he had feelings for He Yu. Shang Xi Qi grasped the door frame with an increasingly forceful hand, turned around fiercely, but found her kneeling on the ground, her expression stubborn.

  "Damn you, woman, you actually knelt down to beg me for Wei Zhe." Seeing Gu Xiyan kneeling on the ground, Shang Yi Qi could no longer control the impulse in his heart. With a 'bang', the door was closed again, and he strode quickly to Gu Xiyan's side. Grabbing one of her arms, he said coldly, suppressing his anger: "Get up, I won't let you kneel."

  Gu Xiyan, however, seemed not to have heard his words. Her two pale small hands grasped Shang Qi's large palm, and she shook her head dazedly: "I won't get up, I beg of you, let's divorce. If you don't agree with me today, I'll keep kneeling until you're willing to agree."
