Let's Divorce As Agreed

Gu Shaoting opened his laptop in the car and glanced over the recent projects the company had signed. He was seated in the passenger seat while He Ming, beside him, suddenly turned and said, “Tong Fei’s calling, for you.”

Gu Shaoting raised his eyes slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on the computer screen. Then he extended a hand to take the phone.

“Hello, Tong Fei, what’s up?” he answered.

“Shaoting, are you in the car? I got a bit startled by all those reporters at the airport just now. Sorry for causing you trouble,” Tong Fei’s voice sounded gentle and tender, evoking a sense of pity.

“It’s alright, I’m a grown man, what’s there to be afraid of? Just be cautious when you’re out.” Gu Shaoting’s deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I heard from Auntie that Grandpa’s birthday is in a few days. I’ll go and visit him then.”

“Alright, that sounds good,” Gu Shaoting replied casually before ending the call and handing the phone to He Ming.

After that, Gu Shaoting closed his laptop, rubbed his forehead, and leaned back on the rear seat, closing his eyes to rest. He Ming wisely remained silent and turned his attention to the driver.

Meanwhile, in the company’s chauffeured car, Tong Fei’s assistant, Zhou, couldn’t help but ask with confusion, “Miss Fei, why did you instruct me to notify so many reporters to come to the airport? Gu Shaoting isn’t divorced yet, and you’re stirring up a scandal with him. It could be a big problem if the reporters find out.”

Tong Fei replied nonchalantly, “What’s there to worry about? They’ll definitely get divorced eventually. Besides, Shaoting’s attitude toward me is lukewarm. If I don’t ignite a spark, it won’t catch fire. This will make his wife back off.”

Zhou said, “Oh, I see. That’s why.”

Tong Fei gazed out of the window, her mood far from calm. During their time in the US, she had actively approached him and dropped many hints, but Gu Shaoting remained unmoved.

Despite having such a seductive figure in his presence, he acted like a fool and remained indifferent to her advances.

So, she staged this whole situation herself, having her assistant spread rumors to let everyone know she was with Gu Shaoting.

She was certain that the entertainment headlines would explode sooner or later, and she didn’t believe Shu Pan wouldn’t notice.

If she did notice, she surely would have thoughts. Could she really not divorce Gu Shaoting?

She was always full of confidence in getting what she wanted.

After spending so long in the entertainment industry, her heart was weary, and she longed for a home and a support system. Without a doubt, Gu Shaoting was the best choice.

Rather than going straight home, Gu Shaoting had the driver take him and He Ming to a restaurant. He intended to have a good meal. He wasn’t accustomed to the foreign cuisine.

Now it would be best to have a pot of sticky congee, just like the one he had that day. Somehow, Gu Shaoting suddenly remembered and felt a nostalgic aftertaste.

He Ming began teasing as soon as they sat down, “Not bad, my man. You’re on a business trip with a beauty by your side. You’re living the good life, huh?”

“Get lost, it’s just a coincidence we ran into each other in the US. Nothing happened, ” Gu Shaoting explained, a rare occurrence.

He Ming had always found Gu Shaoting’s relationship with Tong Fei to be confusing, like trying to see flowers through the fog. He couldn’t fathom what attracted Gu Shaoting to Tong Fei, as his socialite friends were far more suitable in terms of background and education.

Due to Gu Shaoting’s previous relationship with Tong Fei, their friends were acquainted with her, making them more amicable toward her.

“Oh, by the way, Shu Laide has returned to his hometown. He’s no longer in Bin City,” He Ming suddenly mentioned.

Gu Shaoting was taken aback, clearly surprised by why Shu Laide would return to such a remote place. Of course, Shu Pan wouldn’t tell him. “Well, he’s wise, quick on his feet. He’s no longer under my nose,” Gu

Shaoting’s thin lips uttered a chilling sentence..
