C40 I Hope She Never Comes Back
When Li Zhan Chen came out of the bathroom, Gu Zhi Qiu was no longer there. He looked at the empty bed and was silent for a while. He felt that it was better that she was not here, or else he would not know what to say to her this morning or what expression to give her.
Li Shao Han took honey water downstairs and went back to his room.
He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did. Since he did not do it, his brother would do it too. He was just doing it for him.
But when he thought of the pain in Gu Zhi Qiu's body last time, Li Shao Han did not dare to take too much medicine. He took the half-finished medicine down the stairs.
When Gu Zhi Qiu sat at the dining table, Li Zhan Chen had not come down yet. Li Shao Han smiled gently and pushed the honey water in front of Gu Zhi Qiu.
Gu Zhiqiu looked at him with a questioning expression. Li Shaohan smiled faintly. "Last night, it rained heavily and it was cold. In the morning, I had a cup of honey water. Not only did it keep me warm, but it also moistened my throat."
Gu Zhiqiu looked at the honey water and smiled faintly.
The two brothers were really the same. They gave her a cup of honey water in the morning.
Gu Zhiqiu brought him the honey water and he drank a few mouthfuls. Li Shao Han stared at her and still smiled. "Sister-in-law, it will be better if you drink it all in one breath. Drink it all."
Gu Zhiqiu blinked her eyes and nodded. She raised her head and drank all the honey water.
At this time, Li Zhan Chen came downstairs. Gu Zhi Qiu's eyes lit up slightly when she saw him. She hurriedly wrote two words on the scribble board and showed it to him.
The two simple words were Good morning. However, it made clear that she had forgotten about everything that had happened.
"Yes, good morning." Li Zhan Chen looked at her and the matter of the dream resurfaced in his mind. Li Zhan Chen pursed his lips, pretended as if nothing had happened, and went downstairs, where Gu Zhiqiu smiled at him.
It was the smile that had not been seen for the past few days. For some reason, it was as if the sun was pushing aside the clouds and rain to see the earth, making people feel comfortable.
The gloominess that had been accumulating in Li Zhan Chen's heart for the past few days had actually quietly subsided.
Sitting down, Li Zhan Chen slightly curled his lower lip. The three of them had breakfast together for the first time in a long time, but there was only Li Shao Han here, and he was unhappy from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at Li Zhan Chen, Li Shao Han intentionally said, "Today is the weekend. Brother, are you going to stay at home or go out?"
As soon as she asked this question, the fork in Gu Zhiqiu's hand hesitated for a moment. Li Zhan Chen looked at Li Shao Han and pursed his lower lip. In the past, he would not be home on weekends since he spent the whole day with Gu Zhi Qiu. He did not like it.
Today, there would be no exceptions, but...
He opened his mouth for once and said, "This morning, I have an appointment with Chu Yinan and the others to play golf."
When Gu Zhi Qiu heard the name Chu Yinan, she felt a little more at ease. Chu Yinan was Li Zhan Chen's friend and she also knew him. Li Zhan Chen did not lie much, and there was no need to lie. Since he said it, he must have gone to ask Chu Yinan out.
The corner of Gu Zhiqiu's mouth raised slightly. He specially said it to explain it to her.
She felt that the relationship between the two of them had eased up a little. Perhaps the past year's effort was not in vain. Gradually, he would give himself more patience and more tolerance.
Li Shao Han laughed dryly and said, "Is that so? I happen to be going out too. Let's go together."
Li Shao Han saw that his intervention was useless, so he decided not to say anything else.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart. With his big brother like this, he always gave Gu Zhi Qiu hope that when the two of them would get a divorce.
After breakfast, Li Shao Han deliberately went out with Li Zhan Chen. At the door, Li Shao Han waved his hand at Gu Zhi Qiu: "Sister-in-law, we are leaving."
Gu Zhi Qiu liked the morning when she sent her husband off. Although her husband still did not look back to say goodbye to her, and although her uncle was talking to her, she was in a good mood. Perhaps it was because she slept better last night, so her mood also improved.
Gu Zhi Qiu watched the two of them leave before returning to the upper floor.
Outside the door, Li Zhan Chen glanced at Li Shao Han and said, "There's no need to specially say anything to her."
"This is courtesy." Li Shao Han raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Brother, send me off. I don't want to drive."
"If you don't drive, how are you going to come back?"
"Just ask the driver to pick me up when the time comes." Li Shao Han smiled.
Li Zhan Chen didn't deny it and got into the car. The car gradually drove out of Li Family Villa. On the way, Li Shao Han looked at him and said, "This morning, I saw Gu Zhi Qiu come out of your room. I was stunned for a moment and thought that last night was Friday. After thinking about it carefully, it was actually Saturday. Big Brother, aren't you doing your routine on Friday instead of Saturday?"
Li Zhan Chen frowned and looked at him: "You want to ask about this, that's why you wanted to take my car on purpose?"
Li Shao Han raised his eyebrows, "That's about right. Gu Zhiqiu is at home, so it's not convenient for her to talk."
Li Zhan Chen pursed his lips. He was a little displeased with Li Shao Han's question.
"Isn't it normal for her to come out of my room? After all, we are husband and wife. "Li Zhan Chen answered matter-of-factly.
On the other hand, it was abnormal for him to stare at the matter between him and Gu Zhiqiu like this. Li Zhan Chen also wanted to convince himself that this brother of his was only trying to help him, but he always felt something strange from the clues. He couldn't help but start to suspect that his goal was not simple.
"Big brother, I was just worried. I was worried year after year." Li Shao Han shook his head with a smile: "You're not ruthless enough to her. You always have a little bit of gentleness in you. It will only make her feel that she has hope, hope for more, and not want a divorce."
Li Zhan Chen drove his car and pursed his lips. He looked at his smiling face through the mirror, and he always smiled. Although he was different from him, he also used another way to hide his true emotions.
"Young Master Shao Han, do you really want her to be kicked out of the house and leave Li Family, or do you just want me to divorce her?"
Li Shao Han looked at him and raised his eyes with a charming smile. He calmly replied: "I hope that she will be completely kicked out of the Li Family and will never be able to take a step into the Li Family again, or even leave the city. Walk far away and never come back."
Li Zhan Chen frowned, sighed slightly, and said in a low voice, "There's no need to be like this."
His words and his thoughts were actually even more ruthless than his.
Li Zhan Chen had never thought of Gu Zhi Qiu's future. He wanted a divorce, but he didn't think too much about it. After the divorce, Gu Zhi Qiu would be free and she could continue to live in this city. He wouldn't force her.
In the end, he had never hated Gu Zhiqiu in the first place. He even admired her, hated her, and was angry with her. But if they really divorced one day, Li Zhan Chen thought that she would hope that she would also be happy in the future.
It was just that he didn't want to do anything that would ruin others' happiness and force them to marry her.
