Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 652 - 405: Still Ignoring Him

Chapter 652: Chapter 405: Still Ignoring Him
Gu Yucheng found Ji Su in the nearby park, where she was feeding the koi with bread. The colorful koi opened their big mouths and all swarmed towards her.
"Susu..." Gu Yucheng ran over, "Why did you leave the house without your phone? I was so worried about you!"
Ji Su didn’t look at him, continuing to pinch off small pieces of bread and throwing them into the pond to feed the fish.
"Susu..." Gu Yucheng stretched out his arms to embrace her, "It’s the middle of winter and so cold, how long have you been sitting here all alone..."
As he spoke, he pulled her into his embrace. Although she was pregnant, her belly wasn’t showing yet, and she looked as frail and beautiful as ever. Her cheeks were cool and chilly from the cold wind, prompting him to hurriedly drape his suit jacket over her.
"Let’s go back, okay?" Gu Yucheng, wearing only a long-sleeved shirt, enclosed her in his warmth, wrapping her small hands with his warm ones. He had searched for her in such a hurry that he was sweating, and even the palms of his hands holding hers were sweaty.
Ji Su didn’t speak, letting him take her back with him.
When she returned to the bedroom, she sat on the sofa, still ignoring him.
Gu Yucheng heated some milk and brought it over to her, "Here, drink some warm milk."
Ji Su took it, slowly sipping it until it was finished, then without a word. The servants said she already had her dinner, and although Gu Yucheng was very hungry—he hadn’t had his dinner—he still asked first, "Do you want to eat something else?"
"No!" Ji Su said. "I want to sleep!"
Having said that, she went under the covers.
Gu Yucheng propped his hands on either side of her, "Susu, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to deceive you..."
"I don’t want to listen!" Ji Su turned away and then her back faced him, "Yucheng, can you leave me some space and time?"
"Then you rest well." Gu Yucheng said, "I have something to deal with."
After he spoke, he walked out and once outside Ji Su’s apartment, he called Duan Feixun, "What about the matter I asked you to handle? Duan Feixun, you should know that taking advantages without doing the job won’t end well!"
"Yu Ke harassed Miss Ji again?" Duan Feixun was also having a headache as his relationship with Zheng Tong wasn’t going smoothly recently.
Gu Yucheng snorted, "It was your stupid little brother who delivered it personally!"
"What?" After hearing this, Duan Feixun was absolutely livid, "I will properly teach him a lesson! How is Miss Ji now?"
"Angry with me!" Gu Yucheng said angrily.
"How about I explain to Miss Ji?" Duan Feixun suggested, "I think Miss Ji is very understanding. She won’t really be angry with you, Mr. Gu. Just sweet-talk Miss Ji a bit more, and I’m sure she’ll soften."
Gu Yucheng abruptly hung up the phone on him.
In reality, Duan Feixun still thought he was the most miserable one. Zheng Tong was determined to divorce him and he didn’t know what to do!
When Duan Feihong returned, Duan Feixun was nearly kicking and punching him, "Duan Feihong, haven’t you suffered enough at Yu Ke’s hands? Do you think she can still be saved? Why did you go see her?"
"Brother, I didn’t do anything..." Duan Feihong took the beating, "Actually, Yu Ke is not as bad as you think, her dad’s gone, her company’s gone, and she hasn’t blamed you..."
"What do you know?" Duan Feixun had to point out his brother’s naivety, "Do you really think she doesn’t blame anyone? What did she ask you to deliver to others? That video was her revenge against Mr. Gu, she hates Mr. Gu for causing the financial turmoil that led to the collapse and bankruptcy of the Yu family’s company. Now that she doesn’t have the power to strike back at Mr. Gu in the business world, she’s set on ruining his personal life."
Of course, Duan Feihong couldn’t imagine that the seemingly innocuous video had such destructive potential. Indeed, a woman’s heart is as inscrutable as the ocean’s depths!
"Brother, how is Mr. Gu now?" Duan Feihong spat out a mix of blood, with a tooth coming out too.
Duan Feixun knew he’d hit too hard but thought that his brother was too simplistic in his thinking, still played by a woman even after having been schemed against and left humiliated the first time.
This made Duan Feixun frustrated with his inability to harden his brother!
"Go to the hospital!" Duan Feixun glared at him angrily, "Next time you do something, use your brain a bit more!"
The two brothers went to the dental clinic, where the guide recognized Duan Feixun. Seeing him arrive, Zheng Tong, who was about to leave work, passed by without a sideways glance.
"Sister-in-law..." Duan Feihong called out to her with unclear speech.
Zheng Tong looked over and saw half of his face swollen. She didn’t want to bother, but couldn’t bear to ignore it, "Who hit you?"
Duan Feihong dared not say!
"Me!" Duan Feixun admitted, "Without a beating, he won’t learn!"
Zheng Tong hadn’t realized that Duan Feixun could be such a ruthless character! Isn’t that his brother? To strike with such harshness!
Duan Feixun’s phone happened to ring, and he walked outside to answer the call.
Zheng Tong listened to Duan Feihong detailing the whole process intermittently and coldly said, "You really need to use your brain in the future, think before you act. However, men always like to resort to schemes. They think tactics are omnipotent, believing that women will succumb to them. But in truth, the most important things are actual facts and trust."
Just as Duan Feixun walked in, he heard Zheng Tong speaking, "Whether Ji Su will forgive Gu Yucheng or not is not a matter of the depth of love but of each woman’s individual character."
The implication was that her character and Ji Su’s were as different as night and day, and absolutely not to be confused with one another.
"Tongtong, are you still unwilling to forgive me?" Duan Feixun gazed at her, "Do you know, I didn’t want to tell you at first because I thought I could handle it well. I knew you were pregnant, and I wanted you to be a happy expectant mother. But there are things I didn’t anticipate, and you found out so quickly! I had no intention of just defending Feihong. He made a mistake and should be punished, but I don’t want you to be affected by this incident."
Zheng Tong was always accustomed to being independent; she wasn’t as easy to coax as Ji Su, nor as reliant as Ji Su—a difference set in their characters.
The personalities of every woman are different, such as Bei Ran who deals with things wisely but not pretentiously, Tian Xin who is carefree and doesn’t fuss over gains and losses, Song Ziyu who, despite being favored by the heavens, is heartbroken over love, Ji Su has the strongest dependence, while Zheng Tong is the most independent of all.
"Duan Feixun, there’s no point in arguing about this now," said Zheng Tong, "At the moment of revelation, when I already knew, why did you still hide it from me? Since we’ve had it out today, let’s make it completely clear. Without trust, there’s nothing left. I don’t know how long you intend to drag this out, but as a lawyer, you should understand, no matter how long a divorce is delayed, the end result is still separation."
Having said her piece, Zheng Tong walked away without paying them any more attention.
Only Duan Feixun and Duan Feihong, the two brothers, were left looking at each other.
...
Gu Yucheng enjoyed breakfast for just one day, and then it was no more.
He looked at Ji Su who had ignored him all night. She got up early to eat breakfast, then went shopping.
"Why are you following me?" Ji Su looked at the man behind her.
Gu Yucheng approached and gazed at her, "Susu, I actually tried to tell you the truth several times, and I was worried you would ignore me, so I kept it from you, hoping to find the right opportunity to tell you. But before I could do so, you already knew. I really didn’t mean to deceive you. Can you please not be angry?"
"Which eye of yours sees me being angry?" Ji Su spread her hands, looking at a certain someone’s dark circles, while she looked bright and spirited, "I’m very happy. I slept well last night, had breakfast I liked this morning, and then bought clothes that I want to wear."
Yes! Why would she be angry?
"But, Susu, you’re ignoring me!" Gu Yucheng, the loyal dog, "complained," "When Susu ignores me, I feel very sad!"
"Oh..." Ji Su drew out her words, "You go to work. Maybe I’ll pay attention to you after a few days of fun!"
After she spoke, she went on her way to shop, looking at baby products, for Gu Yaowan, and for herself, buying everything except something for Gu Yucheng.
She returned home with these spoils of shopping, even getting a gift for the household staff, who thought their mistress was just too kind!
Gu Yucheng was inherently a reserved master; he let Ji Su be willful, at least she didn’t push him away or question him, which showed she still cared about him, but a woman always needs more affection.
In the evening, Ji Su refused to let him sleep in her bedroom and sent Gu Yucheng out.
Gu Yucheng could no longer feign illness in her presence and had to obediently sleep in the living room.
In the middle of the night, a maid getting up saw the male head of the household sleeping in the living room and suddenly thought what a mighty mistress they had!
For three consecutive days, Ji Su wasn’t harsh on Gu Yucheng; she plainly didn’t have him in her heart.
On the fourth night, Gu Yucheng refused to go out to sleep. His tall frame was uncomfortable on the sofa outside; more importantly, without holding a soft and warm body, he couldn’t sleep.
When Ji Su looked at him with disdain, ordering him out, Gu Yucheng in turn gazed at her with deep affection, Ji Su helplessly said, "Gu Yucheng, it’s already good enough I’m letting you stay at home, don’t push your luck."
Oh Susu, don’t you know? When a man has no shame, the most dangerous thing is to push their luck!
"The living room is very cold!" Gu Yucheng was now playing the comfort-needing loyal dog.
Ji Su glared at him, "My home is small, go live in your big house, sleep in your big bedroom there!"
"Because without Susu..." Gu Yucheng said, "I still feel cold..."
Ji Su huffed, and Gu Yucheng quickly suggested, "Or, I’ll sleep on the floor tonight, it’s warmer in the room!"
"Fine!" Ji Su got into bed and stopped speaking.
Therefore, Gu Yucheng decisively laid out a quilt and slept on the floor.
