Chapter 7:
'It's good that you're finally free now,' Qi He sighed.
'I have a deep impression of the message you sent me when you just got married.
You said that other people's marriages were just graves for love, but you were watching yourself being buried alive.' Tuyan felt embarrassed and had black lines all over his head.
'How could I have said something so melodramatic?' 'The voice message you sent me when you were drunk after getting your marriage certificate that night, I still have it,' Qi He said, jokingly.
Tuyan felt ashamed and hurriedly urged him to delete it.
'Why delete it?
"Speaking so well, I cried when I heard it.
Later on, I used your words to constantly remind myself that I cannot get married, cannot get married.
Even if I died peacefully one day and scattered my ashes into the sea, I will not bring a trace of marriage into the grave!" Tu Yan hesitated and said, "Actually, if I meet the right person--" He paused, suddenly realizing that he seemed unqualified to say such words.
"Hmm? What did you say?" Qi He asked.
Tu Yan waved his hand, "It's nothing." As the two were chatting, Tu Yan's phone suddenly rang.
It was his agent calling, asking him to send a few recent bare-faced photos for the producer of the new drama.
Tu Yan never liked taking selfies, so he asked Qi He to take a couple of random shots.
Qi He was a selfie maniac, claiming to be the most skilled alpha in the fashion world when it comes to taking selfies.
He was not willing to simply go through the motions, and within a few seconds, the sound of the shutter clicked countless times.
"That's enough, aren't you bored?" Qi He flipped through Tu Yan's phone album, carefully selecting, "What do you know? This is called attention to detail determining success or failure." However, he accidentally flipped through a few more pictures and said, "Wait, it seems like there was a handsome guy who just flashed by." Tu Yan quickly reacted, his face changed, and he hurriedly snatched the phone.
Qi He squinted his eyes and smirked, "Oh, you have a secret that you didn't share with me.
Found a new love just a few days after the divorce, huh? I didn't expect you, Tu Xiaoyan, to be this kind of person.
No, I just want to take a look, it's just a look, I won't compete with you." Tu Yan hid the phone under himself, holding it tightly.
"You won't let me see, huh? Then I'll just post your baby bedwetting photos on Weibo." "You!" Qi He used this trick time and time again, successfully reaching out towards Tu Yan.
Tu Yan wanted to secretly delete the photos from his phone, but before he could touch the power button, Qi He took advantage of the moment and snatched the phone, with the screen still remaining on that photo.
"Damn, he really is my type!" Qi He zoomed in on the screen with two fingers, carefully appreciating it, and praising, "He has a good and refined temperament, exquisite features, clearly someone from a prestigious family.
Wow, his fashion sense is also great, he looks very gentle..." Tu Yan felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort listening to this and wanted to casually brush it off, but hearing Qi He speak like this, he became a little unhappy and retorted, "It's not as exaggerated as you say.
There are many people in the entertainment industry who are more good-looking than him." "There aren't many people in the entertainment industry with his kind of temperament.
Tu Yan, honestly tell me, what is his surname and full name?" Tu Yan replied with a sullen tone, "...Gu Chenbai." Qi He widened his eyes, stayed quiet for a full minute, and then shouted loudly, "H-how is this possible?? Rumors say that he is ugly and crippled..." Tu Yan thought to himself: When I first saw Gu Chenbai, I had the same reaction.
Then Qi He suddenly slammed the table, startling Tu Yan.
Just as he was about to scold him, he heard Qi He ask, "How could you bear to divorce such a perfect person like him?" Tu Yan was taken aback, and he asked himself, why? He thought of an answer that could convince himself because he had forced Gu Chenbai to sign an agreement that they would divorce when it expired.
In order to force Gu Chenbai to sign this agreement, he tried every means possible, and even used seduction.
Who would have thought that so many unexpected things would happen later on...
"Secret marriage registration, no wedding banquet, don't let others know, and also, I want to move out of the Gu family.
I don't want to live together with your parents and your brother." When Tu Yan stated these demands, he was already prepared to be rejected, but Gu Chenbai only thought for a few seconds before agreeing.
Tu Yan was taken aback, "Really?" Gu Chenbai put down the book in his hand, raised his head to meet his gaze, "Of course, I think your proposal is a good one." When Gu Chenbai looks at someone, his gaze is always very focused.
Tu Yan felt a bit flustered being stared at by him, so he lowered his head and pretended to play with his phone.
Then he casually said, "So, do you have any requests? You can also tell me." "So it turns out I can make requests too," Gu Chenbai said with a smile.
Tu Yan understood the meaning behind Gu Chenbai's words and remembered what the servants of the Gu family said behind his back.
- "This little star is too arrogant.
It's clear that he was sent here by his father to repay the debt, but he's always bossing around Second Young Master.
If you didn't know, you would think Second Young Master owes him billions." Gu Chenbai didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he gripped his cane and used it to help himself up from the sofa, then walked towards Tu Yan's direction.
Tu Yan instinctively wanted to avoid him, maybe sensing Tu Yan's resistance, Gu Chenbai stopped and said, "I only have one request." Tu Yan looked at him.
"Can you stop avoiding me like this? Is that okay?" He said the last three words very slowly and softly, sounding somewhat pitiful, making it impossible for people to refuse.
Tu Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he made a barely audible "Mm" sound.
"Just this one request?" he still couldn't believe it.
Gu Chenbai curved his lips at him, "Of course, I also wanted to make other requests, like..." Tu Yan quickly interrupted, "One request means one request, don't be difficult." "Alright, just one," Gu Chenbai smiled, then looked down at the time and asked Tu Yan, "What do you want to eat tonight?" Tu Yan didn't want to be led by the nose by Gu Chenbai, "I don't want to eat anything." Then he walked towards his own room.
As he passed the turn of the stairs, he caught a glimpse of Gu Chenbai still standing in his original position, and Tu Yan suddenly remembered another important thing.
Gu Chenbai was so compliant with him, agreeing to everything.
What about the divorce agreement? Would he be willing to sign it too? Tu Yan secretly thought, he probably wouldn't, right? Wouldn't Gu Chenbai lose a lot in that case? People are all selfish creatures, and Gu Chenbai wouldn't like him enough to throw away billions of dollars.
But he remembered the way Gu Chenbai looked at him, and felt that this matter wasn't completely impossible.
