Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a long time, Chu An reluctantly let go of Gu Xiao.

If not for the fact that he was worried that Gu Xiao would fly into a rage out of humiliation because she could not breathe and would not allow him to approach her for a few days, he felt that it was not bad to continue.

Gu Xiao leaned into Chu An’s arms and breathed in large mouthfuls of fresh air. Chu An gently kissed her hair from time to time.

To Chu An, even if it was just a strand of Gu Xiao’s hair, it was extremely tempting to him.

After Gu Xiao came back to her senses, she ruthlessly pinched Chu An’s waist. After hearing Chu An’s soft cry of pain, she let go of Chu An.

Gu Xiao retreated from Chu An’s arms and glared at Chu An. Just as she was about to question Chu An, she heard Chu An speak first.

“Xiaoxiao, you can’t blame me for this. For two days, we haven’t…”

Gu Xiao glanced at Chu An. “You’re saying it’s my fault?”

Meeting Gu Xiao’s eyes, Chu An hurriedly swallowed the words he was about to say.

“No, it’s my fault.” He quickly put the blame on himself, then could not help but defend himself. “But this can’t be entirely my fault. Who asked you to be so tempting to me, Xiaoxiao? It’s normal for me to not be able to control myself.”

Gu Xiao looked at Chu An as he spoke righteously, and there was no reaction on her face. When Chu An tried to pull her into his arms, she didn’t refuse.

After leaning against Chu An’s chest, Gu Xiao lowered her eyes slightly.

She was already thinking about whether she should go to the company to spend the days after the summer break.

Ever since she became an adult, she could sense that Chu An was restless. Especially after the college entrance examination, Chu An’s actions became more and more ostentatious. From time to time, she would meet the other party’s gaze that wanted to tear her apart and eat her up.

However, she still felt that it was a little early. Or rather, there was still a trace of fear in her heart.

Chu An was overjoyed because he was holding Gu Xiao in his arms again. He had no idea that Gu Xiao, who was in his arms, had already planned to spend the rest of her days in the company because of his harassment.

Three days later was the day that Jiang He and Ji Gao agreed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their divorce certificate.

Ever since leaving the Ji family’s old mansion, Jiang He never returned to the Ji family’s villa. Because of Ji Chen and Ji Group, and the Jiang parents did not choose to help Ji Chen, so she did not return to the Jiang family either.

Now that she was living alone in a villa outside, she felt carefree.

On the day of the divorce, Jiang He woke up early and tidied herself up. After putting on her makeup, she drove towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

When Jiang He arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ji Gao’s car was already waiting there.

When he saw Jiang He’s figure, Ji Gao got out of the car. When he saw Jiang He, a trace of surprise and nostalgia flashed past Ji Gao’s eyes.

It seemed like he had not looked at Jiang He seriously for a long time, so he had long forgotten the throbbing in his heart when he saw the eldest daughter of the Jiang family back then.

He had always thought that there was no affection between him and Jiang He, and that they were only the result of a marriage alliance.

But from the looks of it now…

However, before he could think further, he heard Jiang He say, “You’re early. Looks like you really can’t wait to divorce me.”

Ji Gao came back to his senses. When he heard Jiang He’s words, he subconsciously frowned and looked at her.

Jiang He chuckled and looked at Ji Gao with mockery in her eyes.

“Or do you really think that you can really be with your little lover after you divorce me? Do you think Old Master Ji will agree to let you bring your little lover home?”

Ji Gao’s expression completely darkened because of Jiang He’s words. The slight throb that had arisen because of Jiang He was also completely forgotten.

“You don’t have to worry about this,” Ji Gao said coldly.

Jiang He glanced at Ji Gao indifferently. “Good luck.”

With that, Jiang He walked towards the Civil Affairs Bureau without looking back. Ji Gao’s eyes flashed, and he followed with a dark expression.

Actually, he knew that even if he divorced Jiang He, it was impossible for him to bring Du Li back to the Ji family. This was also the reason why he had never thought of divorcing Jiang He before.

As long as Du Li’s background did not change, Old Master Ji would never take a fancy to Du Li, nor would he let her enter the Ji family.

Even if he knew all these things, he was still very unhappy that Jiang He had made this matter public.

To him, this was the same as Jiang He provoking him..
