Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 4
Chapter 4
As he pressed against her, getting closer and closer, the air felt thin. Shu Pan pushed him away.
“Stay away from me,” Shu Pan whispered softly.
“Not tired, huh?” Gu Shaoting raised his eyebrows, questioning.
Shu Pan hesitated for a moment but remained silent.
However, Gu Shaoting’s kiss had already left its mark.
The gentle bedroom light illuminated the bed, and moonlight seeped through the room with a tender breeze. The fine patterns on the curtains came to life, and he gazed at her with tenderness. The atmosphere in the air felt different.
The moon in the sky, the gentle breeze, and the fragrance of flowers made for an enchanting night.
After a while, Gu Shaoting felt refreshed, as if all his meridians had been unblocked. He got out of bed, walked into the bathroom, and grabbed a towel to wipe off his sweat. His back was also covered in a thin layer of sweat. After cleaning up, he lay back down and pulled Shu Pan into his embrace, his other hand encircling her waist.
Shu Pan seemed genuinely tired. With her eyes closed, she slept deeply, undisturbed by Gu Shaoting’s actions.
The next morning, it was already 8:30 am, but Gu Shaoting hadn’t gone to the office yet. Shu Pan informed her boss and decided to work on her drawings at home since she had more flexible working hours.
When Gu Shaoting saw that Shu Pan was awake, he took out a bottle from the bedside table, which was labeled “vitamins,” and handed her a pill. “Take it.”
Usually, Shu Pan would take it without hesitation, but now she knew what it was, and she felt repulsed by it.
“Leave it. I haven’t brushed my teeth yet, and it would make me nauseous. Besides, I’m in my safe period. Skipping one vitamin won’t make a difference.” Shu Pan suddenly remembered that he always made her take a pill after being intimate and told her it was a vitamin to help regulate her body and be beneficial to her health.
Gu Shaoting reached up and tidied her messy hair. “Be good. I’ll make a phone call.”
Why was he treating her like this? If he didn’t like her, he could have told her directly without resorting to these actions that hurt her.
Shu Pan was disheartened at this moment. She realized that she was increasingly unable to understand him. After he left, Shu Pan quickly threw the pill into the toilet and flushed it away. Looking at the water forming a huge whirlpool, she could not calm down for a long time.
Her heart felt like it had been hollowed out, empty. She appeared absent-minded. This matter weighed heavily on her heart, almost suffocating her.
After finishing his call and returning to the bedroom, Gu Shaoting saw the empty bedside table but didn’t say anything. He greeted Shu Pan. It was around 9 o’clock when Gu Shaoting’s driver arrived because he had an important meeting in the morning related to the five-year development of the group. He hurriedly left.
Gu Shaoting remained composed, truly exhibiting the skills of an Oscar-winning actor. She felt somewhat blinded, wondering why she had never seen through his true nature.
Shu Pan couldn’t think about it too much. She tidied herself up and realized it had been a long time since she had visited her parents’ house. Her father had called a few days ago, speaking hesitantly, and she didn’t know what had happened. She decided to go back for a visit. Carrying her bag, she locked the door and left.
Her remaining loved ones were the only ones she had left. Even her husband could treat her this way. What else could she feel but a deep chill in her heart?
