Fu Yao looked at the flashing screen in disbelief. The previous time, he had added a lot of words to explain Shen Yuan and his arrangements before he found out that something had happened to him.
He knew that Shen Yuan was someone who was old-fashioned and astute, only misfortune made him fall into a state of despair overnight.
The Shen family became an illusion overnight.
Fu Yao remembered that night in the mansion, Shen Qieyi cried and told him that her father really appreciated him.
At that time, he was skeptical.
Now that he had seen through the truth, he understood that her father had put in a lot of effort for the rest of his life with Shen Qieyi.
At this time, he was speechless.
Fu Yao thought about it over and over again, but he couldn’t remember the look of Shen Qieyi wandering around in front of him when she was still the Shen family’s princess.
At that time, Fu Yao couldn’t say that he disliked her because her bright and clear eyes could really eliminate people’s troubles.
But now, he could not remember her smile. Her sad and lonely figure secretly wiping away her tears flashed across his mind.
It turned out that they had really reached the end.
Fu Yao’s hand trembled as he raised his cup, and the dark black coffee rippled.
He narrowed his eyes and could only let out a long sigh in the end.
The next morning, Fu Yao drove straight back to the Fu family home.
The car stopped in front of the yard. He didn’t notice anything unusual before he opened the door and entered the house.
No one was there. It was quiet.
The whole house was cleaned up neatly and had not been touched again. It was like a model room, luxurious and exquisite, but without any vitality.
Realizing that the house was finally completely empty, Fu Yao didn’t dare to step in for even a second longer. He turned his head and left.
He circled around the outside of the big city and on the empty road. He stepped on the accelerator and sped forward, enjoying the thrill of excitement.
He was like an inexperienced young man, no home to return to.
The car stopped at the entrance of the cemetery. Fu Yao was in no hurry to get out of the car. Instead, he kept himself in the car and thought about many things.
After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he opened the door and got out of the car. He walked up the stairs step by step, holding two bouquets of flowers in his hands.
He knew that Shen Qieyi had always been blaming him for not showing up at her father’s funeral.
Fu Ya never told her that he was actually there, he stood as long as she did on that day until another man appeared.
However, Fu Yao had never liked to express these things.
Fu Yao stopped in front of Mr. and Mrs. Shen’s tomb. Looking at the photo of them snuggled up to each other on the monument, he couldn’t let go for a long time.
Time really passed by in a flash.
Fu Yao took Shen Qieyi’s hand from her father on their wedding and made a promise to her parents.
Up to now, the death of her parents seemed to have happened in an instant.
He didn’t know what to say, so he could only stand there in silence.
After an unknown period of time.
A sudden sound interrupted Fu Yao’s drifting thoughts.
“Why are you here?” Shen Qieyi was very surprised.
Fu Yao slightly moved his legs and turned his head. His body was already stiff. He didn’t expect to see her here.
Seeing that Fu Yao did not answer, Shen Qieyi sighed and walked up to put the flowers in front of the tombs.
“What’s wrong with you?” she asked, still worried about him.
Fu Yao avoided the question and replied, “I went home just now and didn’t see you.”
Shen Qieyi was stunned. She smiled gently and said coyly, “I moved out this morning, but the luggage is still inside. I didn’t tell you.”
It was within his expectations.
There was no more quarrel, and they exchanged polite and formal greetings.
Fu Yao sized her up. It seemed that nothing had changed, but at the same time, everything had changed.
Shen Qieyi accepted his gaze and asked, “Are you all right?”
She had been very good recently. She had been living a comfortable life alone, so she hoped that he would also be fine.
She came here because she wanted to share it with her parents.
Fu Yao suddenly wanted to hug her when he saw her soft and submissive face.
In reality, this was what he did.
His strength increased, and Shen Qieyi clung to him to feel his temperature.
Shen Qieyi was stunned. Her hand on her side tugged on her own shirt and slowly lifted with hesitation.
The moment she hugged him, she heard him bury his face in her neck and say in a low voice, “Shen Qieyi, I agree to a divorce.”
She was stunned. The corners of her mouth curled up, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
The two hugged each other in silence for a long time.
Shen Qieyi raised her hand and gently wiped away her tears at an angle Fu Yao couldn’t see.
After a long while, she pursed her lips and took the initiative to distance herself.
She lowered her head and stared at her toes, refusing to look at him. “Go back. I want to stay with them alone.”
After she calmed down, she looked up at him and smiled. “I’ll arrange for a lawyer to come over tomorrow. I hope you can keep your promise.”
Fu Yao lost his wits and could not refute anything. He nodded his head in silence before slowly turning around in front of her eyes.
After stepping down the last step, he couldn’t help but look back.
Her back was facing him and her head was lowered. He did not know what she was thinking.
But he had no choice but to respect her and stay far away from her.
After Fu Yao left, Shen Qieyi’s heart felt like it had been hollowed out, and she had forgotten about this day.
She finally got what she wanted and got the freedom that she used to fight so hard for.
But the moment she saw Fu Yao turn his head, her heart told her that she was not happy.
Shen Qieyi comforted herself that there was no two perfect things. After taking this step, life would be vast and dazzling, and the future could be hopeful.
But she also smiled in confusion. Her future may not be a joke as she told herself.
At nine o’clock the next morning, Shen Qieyi came to the Fu family with her lawyer. Fu Yao, who had been smoking for the whole night, was taking a nap in the bedroom.
Hearing the sound of the car at the door, he opened his eyes sensitively and struggled to get up.
With the key on her body, Shen Qieyi opened the door and came in.
The lawyer placed the materials on the table and she was trying to call Fu Yao.
The lawyer sat down and looked around.
He was used to the loneliness of a divorced family, but when it came to Fu Yao, the lawyer was indescribably nervous and solemn.
As the pillar of business in the city, Fu Yao was still unable to avoid the failure of ordinary people’s feelings despite the support of a prominent family.
The lawyer looked at Shen Qieyi with a complicated expression.
She was willing to give up a life full of wealth and insisted on a divorce. This woman could not be underestimated.
Shen Qieyi hung up the phone. “Let’s wait for awhile, he will come.”
She guessed that Fu Yao was in the bedroom on the second floor.
The water in the bathroom was running, and the phone at the head of the bed was constantly flashing and vibrating.
Fu Yao stood up and touched the stubble on his hand in front of the mirror. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he began to clean himself up.
The man who came out of the bathroom again was the meticulous Fu Yao.
He picked up his phone and glanced at the screen prompt. It was all her missed calls.
Fu Yao thought to himself with a complicated expression. This was probably the first time she had pursued him, but it might also be the last time.
He put the phone into his pocket and slowly went downstairs. What should come had to come.
