For three years of marriage, Xu Xingwan lived in Linjiang, while Gu Nanchuan never once shared a roof with her.
He said marriage was just a business arrangement and told her not to read too much into it. She never asked him for love and never expected tenderness.
She thought she could keep enduring it, until the day she miscarried and he never came.
That was when she understood that some kinds of indifference aren’t worth waiting for.
She asked for a divorce. He didn’t even look up, only saying, “Suit yourself.”
She left without hesitation, not taking a single thing with her.
They met again at a banquet attended by the city’s most powerful people.
With her arm linked through someone else’s, wearing the red dress he had never let her wear, she walked past him with a smile, as if they had never known each other.
Gu Nanchuan grabbed her wrist, his eyes bloodshot. “Xu Xingwan, what are you to him?”
She looked at him, her lips cool and her voice soft but steady.
“Are you asking who Mrs. Gu is dating now?”
She paused, then smiled.
“Mr. Gu, we’ve been divorced for a long time. Have you forgotten?”
