It was Gu Nian who told me that Gu Xingze had gone to pick up his ex-wife. I looked at the trending topic and Gu Xingze’s reply to Li Luo: “Luoluo, welcome home.” I gave a self-mocking smile. So this “Luo” wasn’t that “Luo.” The divorce agreement he’d left untouched for five years wasn’t Gu Xingze’s way of giving me an escape route. From the very beginning, it was the road home he had paved for Li Luo. But blinded by love, I lost my heart and soul over Gu Xingze’s affectionate “Luoluo,” and gave up five years of my life. Then Gu Nian, whom I had carefully cared for all those years, called me a cuckoo who had occupied someone else’s nest. There’s no end to suffering, but turning back is the way out. I signed the divorce agreement and left the Gu family mansion. But three months later, that father and son chased me thousands of miles away, begging me to come home.
