Can We Say No to Divorce?
Chapter 87 - 78: Punishing Mrs. Gu

Chapter 87: Chapter 78: Punishing Mrs. Gu

Bei Ran bit her lip, and before she had a chance to explain, Gu Qingchen had already closed the passenger side door for her.

With a "bang," she realized that this man was angry!

Gu Qingchen got into the driver’s seat and quickly drove away.

Zong Zheng, who was left standing there, watched Gu Qingchen’s car disappear without a trace, then looked at Tang Baijin, who had not yet come back to his senses.

Tang Baijin grabbed Zong Zheng by the collar: "What exactly happened?"

"Let go!" Zong Zheng angrily said, "Look at you, you are nothing but a complete savage. My sister Bei would never like a savage with no manners like you!"

Zong Zheng still wished her blessings with Gu Qingchen.

Although his love had not yet sprouted and was already snuffed out, he was not sad.

Tang Baijin relentlessly asked, "Tell me! What exactly happened?"

"You heard it too, Professor Gu said, Sister Bei is Mrs. Gu, that’s what happened!" Zong Zheng pushed him away, "Since they are mutually in love, for you to intrude is just too much!"

Tang Baijin, infuriated, said, "Six years ago, Bei Ran and I were lovers, where was Gu Qingchen then? How can it be said that I’m intruding?"

"Love does not depend on who came first!" Zong Zheng said as he walked away.

Tang Baijin stamped his foot hard: "Bei Ran, what else are you hiding from me?"

Lakeside villa.

Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen returned home together.

All the way home, Gu Qingchen did not speak.

Bei Ran seemed to feel his anger and thus was also quiet in his presence.

After returning home, since Bei Ran rarely came back with him, she made tea and brought it over to him.

"Qingchen..." Bei Ran called him.

Gu Qingchen took it and just gave her a brief glance, then uttered a single word: "Speak!"

Commanding without anger—that’s what this man is about!

Bei Ran bit her lip and told the truth, "Tang Baijin wants to marry me. I told him that I’m already married. He didn’t believe it, so I had Zong Zheng pretend to be my husband... Zong Zheng just now was also protecting me, you won’t refuse to take him as your intern, right?"

"Bei Ran, even now, you’re still worried about someone else?" Gu Qingchen took a sip of tea, his voice raising slightly, "It seems your life is colorful! A university student as a husband, and a high-profile architect wants to marry you!"

"But, I never agreed to Tang Baijin! I already told him, my feelings for him ended six years ago," Bei Ran immediately said.

"What about Zong Zheng?" Gu Qingchen put down his teacup heavily.

Tea splashed out a bit; he put it down with a lot of force.

Bei Ran saw him acting refined and elegant outside, and when he held her hand on the way home, she felt it was the warmest and most moving moment in her life, but at this moment, he was so fierce.

Bei Ran was startled by him, her face went pale, "I’m sorry, I didn’t handle it well."

Today, two men, in front of her legitimate husband, one wants to take her home to be Mrs. Tang, the other publicly claims to be her husband!

Does Gu Qingchen look like someone that easy to talk to?

"Qingchen..." Seeing he was silent, Bei Ran softly called him again.

Gu Qingchen looked up at her, his deep eyes like the Aegean Sea, filled with intense anger.

Bei Ran hurriedly said, "It’s not Zong Zheng’s fault, I asked him to play the role! His biggest dream is to become a doctor. Do you know? He admires you the most, hoping to intern under you and become a great doctor like you! Don’t misunderstand our relationship, I only see him as a younger brother..."

Gu Qingchen looked at Bei Ran, who was hastily trying to explain, but he didn’t want to listen. She was giving so much importance to another man!

"Bei Ran, what does our contract specify?" Gu Qingchen lit a cigarette.

Bei Ran immediately said, "During the contract period, I cannot have rumors or betray you!"

"Good, you remember," Gu Qingchen said sternly, "How should I punish you?"

Bei Ran spoke softly, "But our contract has already expired!"

Gu Qingchen, already furious, but this statement completely ignited his anger!

Does the end of a contractual marriage mean she can embrace others freely, one a vibrant young man, the other a prominent prime-aged architect?

One is her current crush, the other an old lover.

But there’s no room for her current husband, Gu Qingchen.

"So, you really want a divorce?" At that moment, Gu Qingchen grabbed her tender chin with one hand.

His hands, adept at handling surgical tools, are precise, quick, and accurate.

Bei Ran only felt that her tender chin was painfully throbbing, but she couldn’t escape his grip.

She knew, Gu Qingchen, this man, when nice, is the best gentleman in the world.

When he isn’t pleasant, he’s the most vicious devil!

Divorce? Bei Ran was a bit astonished when she first heard these two words.

Because, at that time, she had just shared an intimate moment with him.

Divorce? When Bei Ran heard these two words again, she actually felt some heartache.

Over the past month, she felt reluctant, she felt sad, and she was also heartbroken.

She truly wanted to continue being good with him, turning this contract marriage into a real marriage.

But at this moment, why was Gu Qingchen being so domineering and forceful towards her?

Although she wanted to manage well, she also had her pride.

Divorce then divorce!

She would not beg anyone!

Moreover, what made her determined to divorce was that the DNA of the twins did not match with Gu Qingchen’s.

Therefore, she would no longer be attached to him.

"I’ve already explained, the misunderstandings between me, Zong Zheng, and Tang Baijin, I, Bei Ran have always been clear and innocent." Bei Ran said enduring the pain, "On what grounds do you punish me?"

Gu Qingchen looked at the unwavering light in her eyes, "Indeed, now your wings are stiff, and you can fly!"

The previous Bei Ran, in front of him, would be as obedient as she could be.

The current her, has begun to know how to talk back to him!

"I’m just stating the facts!" Bei Ran stared at him, "During the contract period, I was your wife, I have never betrayed you, neither in body nor in heart!"

Gu Qingchen looked at her resolutely determined demeanor, he let go of her chin, then fiercely snuffed out his cigarette, he lengthened his stride, preparing to go upstairs, "My lawyer will contact you tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he went upstairs without looking back.

Bei Ran then fell into the sofa, had he finally decided to let go? Was he finally going to give each other freedom?

He wanted a divorce, she Bei Ran would not beg him to continue this contract marriage!

He has his pride, she has her dignity.

The next day.

When Bei Ran hurried to the hospital, Grandpa Fu had already left this world.

He did not fulfill his wish of marrying Grandma Ding while he was alive.

Upon hearing this news, her heart was strangely empty.

Indeed, she had also experienced birth, aging, sickness, and death before.

For instance, her mother’s departure was once the most helpless moment in her life.

Now, an old man whom she had only met a few times passed away, she still felt regret.

Because, she did not fulfill the elder’s last wish, Grandpa Fu did not get to be with Grandma Ding.

An old man passes away, leaving another old person still living alone in this world.

This failed case, could it also be a harbinger of the end of her and Gu Qingchen’s marriage.

Grandpa Fu and Grandma Ding could not hold hands at the end of their lives and promise love, whereas her four-year marriage with Gu Qingchen, ultimately reached its end.

Actually, having anticipated the separation early on, why still feel sentimental when it comes?

Who said one wouldn’t get deeply involved in this contract marriage, but she ultimately is not the Think Tank, nor could she be the strategist for their contract marriage!

Forget it!

Although Bei Ran’s heart had mixed feelings, however, the last bit of dignity she had left prevented her from bowing down to Gu Qingchen.

It’s time now, isn’t it?

Then let it be a clean and clear break! A word, a decision, clear and straightforward, no dragging, no owing!

Bei Ran stood in the corridor, listening to the voices of family members in the room.

After Gu Qingchen announced the patient’s official death, he exited the room and saw Bei Ran standing not far away.

Bei Ran’s eyes were veiled with tears, she aimlessly stared at him.

If they are not destined to grow old together, why waste each other’s time!

Gu Qingchen took big steps towards her, as he passed by Bei Ran, her phone rang.

She took a look, it was his lawyer’s call.

Bei Ran knew, this moment, had finally arrived.

Gu Qingchen brushed past her.

Bei Ran then slid the answer button...
