Gu Yuan glanced to the side and said softly, "My flight cannot be delayed."

Her wrist hurt a little.

He held on tightly, with a force mixed with an indescribable emotion, but mostly it was stubbornness.

Gu Yuan reminded him, "Let go."

He slowly released her.

But in the next second, he cupped her face and kissed her.

His kiss was unusually urgent and passionate, unstoppable. Gu Yuan could only endure it for a few seconds before he let go of her, his dry voice rasping in her ear, "Gu Yuan, you’re taking revenge on me! You’re taking revenge! Now I know the truth, I’m regretful, are you satisfied? Are you satisfied!!"

He was hysterical, yet a kind of unspeakable sadness shrouded him, like a dense fog that wouldn’t dissipate, suffocatingly oppressive.

Gu Yuan pushed him away, maintaining her indifferent tone, "If there’s anything to discuss, wait until I’m back in Sui City. This isn’t the place to talk about us."

"Are you satisfied trampling my sincerity?" He restrained her shoulders, eyes red as he questioned her.

Gu Yuan shook her head, "No."

"Don’t say no, what are you hiding? At this point, you’re still hiding, still making things up. Everything you did was to satisfy yourself, to make me suffer. You succeeded in taking revenge on me, you did it, Gu Yuan, you really did it!!"

"..."

He was hysterical to the point of being unreasonable.

Driven to irrationality by emotion.

"Yes, I hate you." As he wished, Gu Yuan uttered this insincere sentence.

He released her shoulders, staggered back half a step, enveloped in sadness, no more hysteria, no more questioning, his calmness not matching the reaction he should have at this moment.

But Gu Yuan was even calmer than him, "Have you calmed down?"

"Gu Yuan," he calmly called her name and said, "How did I end up with a woman like you? As a married couple, I was trapped by you, and even after divorce, I’m still trapped by you."

Gu Yuan’s heart tightened, "So do you regret meeting me?"

"Yes, I regret it, I regret it very much..." He didn’t clarify face to face exactly what he regretted.

In Gu Yuan’s mind, she automatically connected that he regretted meeting her.

Her heart was ruthlessly gripped, yet she maintained a composed appearance, a completely indifferent tone, "Regret is regret, there’s no remedy for regret in this world, but you can stop the loss in time. You should be grateful you can still stop the loss, we’ve already divorced."

She never took revenge on him.

She only approached him in her own way, taking a proactive step to preserve the relationship between them.

But now the truth was out, he would naturally accuse her, believing it was a meticulously planned revenge, that she hated him, that it was as if she tore his heart to shreds and trampled it underfoot.

This wasn’t the place to talk to him slowly. She had to return to Sui City first, lest she became a joke in the Quan Family due to prying ears.

Gu Yuan left the old house.

Quan Yin was waiting for her in the car, Suisui playing on a phone, which should have been Quan Yin’s phone.

Gu Yuan went to the other side, and the driver opened the car door for her.

Once inside, Suisui immediately pounced on her, calling sweetly, "Mom~"

Gu Yuan responded, looking at Quan Yin, "Suisui is using your phone, right?"

"Yeah," Quan Yin’s tone was indulgent, "Just now, Suisui mistook my phone for yours and insisted on playing with it. I don’t have any business to attend to with the phone now, so I let her play with it. Kids like to have fun, don’t scold her."

Quan Yin was always exceptionally indulgent with Suisui.

Gu Yuan’s approach was to ask Suisui to return the phone.

Suisui was taking photos with the phone, snapping countless selfies. She kept pressing the shutter, but every shot was angled upward from her chin, the odd angle making her look like a round dumpling.

"Suisui, that’s enough, give the phone to mommy." Gu Yuan deliberately put on a stern face.

But Suisui was having so much fun taking photos, she even said, "Mommy, should we take one together?"

Gu Yuan said, "Then use mommy’s phone."

"This is it." Suisui waved the phone with her little hand, "Mommy’s phone, this is it."

She had indeed mistaken Quan Yin’s phone for hers.

"Suisui, you’ve got the wrong one, that’s not mommy’s phone." Gu Yuan took out her own phone from her bag to show Suisui, "This is mommy’s phone."

Suisui was bewildered.

Looking at the phone in her hand and then at the phone in her mommy’s hand, "Why are they the same?"

Before Gu Yuan could speak, Quan Yin chimed in, "It’s because of fate."

Suisui didn’t understand, "What’s fate?"
