67. Divorce

Lu Zaiyuan was immersed in a strange yearning, and suddenly the sound of his mobile phone vibrating brought him back to reality from a distant dream country.

Nanxi was disturbed and moved.

He quickly stretched out his arm, touched his phone, and pressed the refusal. The vibration sound of the mobile phone disappeared, and Nanxi slept peacefully.

He carefully removed her hand from his body, slowly moved to the bedside, got out of bed, and quickly ran downstairs, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and dialed the phone back.

As soon as the phone rang, the hoarse voice was filled with anger, and it immediately came: "Why did you refuse to answer my call?" What are you doing? ”

"I'm talking about an important matter, there are people around me, and it's inconvenient to answer the phone, won't I call you back immediately?" Lu Zaiyuan defended.

"You lie" the other party's voice sank, and his anger grew, "You actually learned to lie to me!" ”

"I'm not lying, and you know that I'm here, and it's not always convenient to answer your calls." Lu Zaiyuan sat up straight, making his voice sound louder.

The other party was silent for two seconds before he spoke, "Okay, I believe that you actually won't call you lightly, I just have good news to tell you, Zhao Xinyao, that slut, really couldn't bear the loneliness and started a commotion." But in just one morning, she sent two emails, and the content was really wonderful. ”

Lu Zaiyuan frowned, thought for a while, and replied, "I'll discuss something with you." ”

"I'm talking about Zhao Xinyao, didn't you hear it?" The other party was excited, but he didn't get the expected response, and he couldn't help but be annoyed.

"I heard it, I gave her her email address, so I'm not surprised that she will send emails." Lu Zaiyuan was not much happy.

"Okay, I've already forwarded the content of the email to you, you can take a look at what you said you said you have something to discuss, what is the matter?" The other party asked.

Lu Zaiyuan took a deep breath and said, "Nanxi was not in our plan in the first place, and it was a pure accident to meet her. Our things are going smoothly, and with or without her, it doesn't matter if there is a move. She's innocent, so don't bother her anymore, okay? ”

"Do you feel sorry for her?" The other party sneered twice, "Are you soft-hearted?" You're not that determined, are you?! ”

"I will do what I promised you, and I am very firm on that! But Nanxi is innocent, she has nothing to do with this incident, she didn't hurt us"

"Am I not innocent?" The other party suddenly became excited, and his voice became extremely hoarse, "Who have I hurt?" Am I not what I am today? You treat her like a little white rabbit who needs to be protected, what about me? I deserve to be unlucky, don't I? ”

"Don't be so excited, I never wanted to abandon you, abandon our plans, everything is going on in Shun lĂŹ, what are you not satisfied with? I'm just begging you, don't hurt innocent people anymore, it doesn't affect our plans, so I beg you! Lu was talking in the distance as he got into Nanxi's room and closed the door.

"You beg me? For the sake of a girl who has only known each other for half a year, you came to beg me to give up the plan I had set? The sound of the other party grinding his teeth began to come from the phone.

"It's just a small part of the plan, it won't affect the overall situation, and it won't affect the outcome, why can't you just take me once?" Lu Zaiyuan also became excited, waving his arms angrily.

"What if I don't say yes?"

"Then I'll go to Hong Kong to find you!"

"Are you threatening me?"

"I'm begging you!"

The conversation froze here, the other party was silent, and only angry gasps could be heard on the phone.

After a stalemate for half a minute, the other party finally spoke: "Okay! I promise you! Regarding her and Deng Jiaxiang, I will not expose it again. ”

"Thank you!" Lu Zaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"But," the other suddenly raised his voice, "don't be too happy, do you think you can get her forgiveness in this way?" Because you suddenly intruded into her life, her sister had a relapse of her old illness, and there is no hope of recovery until now. Because you hired someone to secretly take photos of her and Deng Jiaxiang, she became the center of a not-so-glamorous scandal, and she was in a car accident and suffered a concussion."

"I don't need you to remind me, I understand all this!" Lu Zaiyuan listened to the other party talk about this, and his heart was full of blockages.

"That's not all," the other smirked, "Have you thought about it?" She's already involved in it, and even if I let her go, there's no way she'll get out completely. She is now your wife, Deng Jiaxiang's ex-girlfriend, and this relationship will inevitably play its due role in the future. Don't blame me then, because that's not my manipulation, that's her fate! ”

Lu Zaiyuan gasped, gritted his teeth and asked, "Looking at me in pain, are you feeling good?" ”

The other party snorted and said coldly, "None of us are entitled to happiness and joy until our plan is completed." When things come to an end, I can't control you, and when the time comes, I'll find a quiet place to yourself, and you can spread your wings and live your free and happy life! But not now! I won't allow the slightest softness in your heart! Not at all! That affects your judgment and execution! ”

Hearing the other party mention the topic of "self" again, Lu Zaiyuan hugged his head painfully: "Can you not threaten me with death?" ”

"I'm not threatening you! The only purpose for me to survive is to watch Zhao Liangmao and Pei Tianming die in pain! ”

After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a "snap".

Lu Zaiyuan threw the phone on the bed, fell down on his back to the sky, looked at the flower branch lamp on his head, his heart was clenched, and his eyebrows were frowned

Nanxi slept soundly upstairs, completely unaware of the discussion about her fate downstairs. She even had a very sweet dream, dreaming that she and Lu Zaiyuan were holding a wedding, Xiaohe was wearing a pink dress, being her bridesmaid, she held the arms of her parents, and walked towards the groom Lu Zaiyuan in the music of the solemn wedding march

But in the end, she didn't take his hand, because the passage from the door of the auditorium to him was so long, and she kept walking, and she couldn't get to his side, and she woke up in a hurry.

She rolled over, and her side was empty.

She rubbed her eyes, sat up, and called him, "Curly!" Curly! Curly! ”

It was louder than the other, and finally from downstairs came a response: "I'm in the kitchen!" When you wake up, wash your face and come down to eat! ”

Nanxi grinned, revealing a misty happy smile. It's so good to get a good night's sleep and wake up with a good meal to eat.

She stretched her waist, grabbed a distant shirt from the bedside, put it on her body, went to the bathroom to turn on the faucet, picked up the cold water and splashed it on her face twice, and suddenly became more energetic.

She wiped her face, brushed her hair, and walked downstairs.

Lu Zaiyuan was putting plates on the dining table when he saw her coming down and whistled: "Wow! Whose sexy wife is this? It's mouth-watering. ”

He put down the plate, ran to the top of the stairs and stood up, reached out to take her, kissed her on the face, ripped off the collar of his shirt, peeked inside, and swallowed: "I think we should roll on the bed first, you look more delicious than food." ”

Nan Xi smiled and pulled back the collar from his hand: "You don't look very tasty, you are wearing an apron, and there is a smell of oil smoke on your body." ”

Lu Zaiyuan pursed his lips aggrievedly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Look, let's just say that men can't go to the kitchen, they will really be disgusted by women." ”

"Not really! I'm hungry! The husband who can cook is the most precious husband in the world! I love you! Nanxi kissed him and coaxed him.

Lu Zaiyuan showed a smiling face at this time, pulled her to sit down at the dining table, put four dishes and one soup on the table, untied his apron, poured two glasses of red wine, handed one to Nanxi, and served one by himself: "My wife recovered and was discharged from the hospital today, we have to celebrate well, come, cheers!" ”

Nanxi raised his glass with a smile and touched him: "This is too grand, isn't it?" I'm a little flattered! ”

Lu Zaiyuan took a sip of wine, put down the wine glass, picked up the chopsticks, and handed a piece of fish meat to Nanxi's mouth: "I heard that eating fish nourishes your brain, you can eat more, and you can become smarter in the future." ”

Nan Xi took it, chewed it a few times, and gave him a thumbs up: "It's delicious!" Your cooking skills are really not covered! With your cooking skills, I'm going to have to catch you! ”

Lu Zaiyuan heard her say this, and couldn't help but be silent.

Nanxi's attention was all on those dishes at the moment, and he didn't notice the change in his expression. She picked up chopsticks, picked up the dishes, drank red wine, and ate very happily.

As soon as she looked up and saw him staring at her intently, she swallowed a bite of beef and asked him, "What are you looking at me for?" Why don't you eat it? ”

"I'm not too hungry, and I'm so happy to see you eat so well." Lu Zaiyuan went to pick up the fish again, separated the fish bones, and fed it to her.

"Do you have something on your mind? Something at work? Tell me about it, I'm fine now, I'll be at work tomorrow, and it's time to worry about the company. Nanxi put down his chopsticks and looked at him.

"The company is fine, it's okay, don't guess, hurry up and eat." The road is far away to urge her.

"But" Nanxi still felt that there was something wrong with him.

Lu Zaiyuan hurriedly picked up a bowl of rice, lowered his head and picked up the rice grains in his mouth: "Actually, I'm so hungry, eat quickly, the food won't taste good when it's cold." ”

After eating, the two of them cleaned up the dining table, Lu Zaiyuan washed the dishes in the sink, and Nanxi followed aside, wiped it clean, and put it in the cupboard.

"Hey, what do you want? Why don't you talk all the time? Nanxi moved his waist and hit the road far away.

Lu Zaiyuan turned his head to look at her and said with a smile: "I ate too much, I held on, and I didn't want to talk." ”

"You haven't eaten much, it's just half a bowl of rice, and you're holding on? What the hell is wrong with you? Tell me the truth! Nanxi bent down and leaned close to his face.

Lu Zaiyuan put down the dishcloth, was silent for a while, and suddenly made a decision. He turned his head and asked Nanxi: "Xiaoxi, do you remember that the two of us have a divorce agreement?" ”

Nanxi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I remember, but we weren't familiar with it at that time, you don't have to worry about that thing."

Lu Zaiyuan pursed his lips, frowned, pinned his face to the other side, and whispered, "I'm wondering, should we let that agreement take effect early?" ”

"What do you mean?" Nanxi was a little confused and looked at him stupidly.

"We're actually going to get a divorce sooner or later, right? I think it's better to do this now" Lu Zaiyuan didn't know how he said this, and every time he said a word, his heart throbbed.

Nan Xi blinked, unable to believe his ears: "You mean divorce?" ”

"Yes!" He gritted his teeth and nodded.

With a "snap", the plate in Nanxi's hand slipped down, fell to the ground, and shattered

Nanxi couldn't believe what her ears were hearing, she suspected that she was just in a dream that wasn't too good, and she hadn't woken up yet.

It wasn't until the plate in her hand slipped and smashed on the surface of her feet, smashing her toes with a slight pain, that she realized that this was not in a dream, this was in reality, and he did say the word "divorce" just now.

She was at a loss for what to do, stunned, her eyes wide open and looking at the road in the distance, her heart full of fear.

Lu Zaiyuan didn't dare to look at her eyes, squatted down to clean up the broken plate, and saw that her toes were red by the edge of the plate, so he reached out and touched it, and asked her, "Does it hurt?" ”

She curled up on her toes and took a step back, avoiding his touch: "Don't touch me, you're going to divorce me, why bother if I hurt or not?" ”

Lu Zaiyuan heard her voice tremble, and couldn't help but look up at her.

I saw her face dazed and helpless, her teeth clenched into her lower lip, and tears in her eyes. She didn't dare to blink, afraid that tears would fall, so she could only stark desperately at the sycamore branch that slanted past the window.

Lu Zaiyuan lowered his head, silently picked up the fragments of the porcelain plate, and put them into the trash can one by one.

He's moving slowly, and he's using the process to think.

He thought: What the hell am I going to do? I broke into her life and robbed her of her heart, without clearly informing her of the risks of following me. I selfishly involved her in my affairs, but she was ignorant. She fell out of love half a year ago, and then her sister's old illness relapsed, and now she has even lost the opportunity to take care of her sister herself, if I leave her at this time, can she bear such a hurt? But if I don't leave her, will it hurt her more deeply as things go further?

What kind of hurt is it that is more difficult for her to accept? Leave him? Or will you stay with him until the future faces the truth?

He cleaned up the fragments of the porcelain plate, still without an answer in his heart. In fact, when she was sleeping upstairs, he was always struggling between separation and inseparability, and he didn't feel right.

The moment he said "divorce" in person just now, his heart felt like he had been stabbed with a knife.

He remembered what Nanxi said: "If I had to choose again, I would turn around and leave the moment we met, just as you were a passerby in my life"

If that's the case, he and her are just passers-by on the road of life, and there is no intersection and no holding hands, how good it would be.

But in reality, there is no if, he must stand in the moment and face this difficult choice.

He was silent, and Nanxi stood behind him and wiped his face vigorously: "Divorce Since you want a divorce, why are you doing this today?" Is this a divorce ceremony? You guys who grew up in a foreign country are so personable? Divorce is such a thing, and you still have to have a happy celebration? I'm not so foreign, since you want a divorce, you should have sued me earlier."

Lu Zaiyuan slowly turned around and looked at her: "What will happen to you?" ”

The two words "I" were stuck in Nanxi's throat, and he couldn't spit it out, and he couldn't swallow it back, so sad. She shivered like a thin, lonely leaf fluttering in a cold wind.

Through the tears, she looked at Lu Zaiyuan, hoping that he would suddenly burst into a smile, and said to her with a hippie smile: "I'm joking with you."

But he didn't say anything, his expression was stern, his lips were pursed tightly, and he didn't mean to explain.

Is he serious? But why? Okay, why all of a sudden?

She wanted to know why, but her self-esteem kept her from asking why. Didn't she often talk about divorce before? Now that she is finally leaving, she has to ask why, but she pesters him?

It's not her character.

The two of them met from the beginning of a misunderstanding, although she experienced a certain happiness and comfort in the process, but now the result is clearly in front of her, a misunderstanding is a misunderstanding, and the beautiful romance that started because of a misunderstanding in the movie does not happen in reality.

Tears flowed down her face, and she picked up the dishcloth and wiped it a few times on her face. Then she took a deep breath and said the sentence stuck in her throat: "This kind of thing is not new to me, I experienced a sudden separation half a year ago, but it's okay with you, after all, we have only been together for half a year, and there is no such deep feeling, it is very easy to separate." You're getting a divorce, aren't you? Okay I agree! ”

With that, she threw away the dishcloth, turned around and ran back to her room, slamming the door.
