“You brought me to meet your parents. You said that we’re family, and you even cleared my name at the birthday banquet and announced to everyone that I was your wife. When I was framed, you unconditionally believed in me, put on my lawyer’s robe, and created a miracle for me to win the lawsuit. Also… you said that you would hold the wedding of the century for me… ”
The tone of Xu Weilai’s words became even more serious. “All of that was done in order to protect this marriage, and there was no emotional component to it?”
She couldn’t believe that he didn’t have any feelings for her. The afection he had shown her was still vivid in her mind. Could it be that all of that was just an illusion?
Gu Yu lowered his eyes and his tone became even colder. “Those things were what I should have done as your husband.”
“Husband… ”
The most intimate address, at this moment, was especially ironic.
Xu Weilai muttered these two words and repeated them for a long time before saying in a low voice, “But I don’t believe that you don’t have any feelings for me.”
“You don’t believe?”
Gu Yu repeated Xu Weilai’s three words and suddenly thought of something. A hint of emotion finally appeared in his cold eyes, but it was mockery. “Xu Weilai, an illusion can’t be regarded as real.”
An illusion can’t be regarded as real…
Xu Weilai’s entire body trembled. Her face instantly paled, and her body could not help but sway.
An illusion…
This word was really well used.
There were so many words, but none of them could compare to the heavy blow that word gave her.
Three years ago, she had an illusion that he liked her. Three years later, she was still repeating the same mistake. Was it still an illusion that he liked her?
Xu Weilai laughed lightly and nodded her head vigorously. “Yes, you’re right. An illusion cann’t be taken seriously. It’s just an illusion, an illusion… ”
She thought that since he had already said that, there was no need to ask, “Do you not like me at all?”
She tried her best to smile. At this moment, she actually didn’t want to cry anymore. She had already expected the answer. When she heard it, it wasn’t that difficult to accept.
Or perhaps, she never actually dared to believe that Gu Yu would like her. In the end, she didn’t have her hopes up, so she wasn’t too disappointed.
Xu Weilai lowered her head, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed all her emotions. After about a minute, she raised her head again and tried her best to use a relaxed tone. She said, “I’ve already asked the questions I wanted to ask. Gu Yu, it’s your turn. What do you want to say to me? Say it now.”
His long fingers tapped lightly on the table. The spacious apartment was extremely quiet. She could hear that tap very clearly, as if every tap was hitting the most painful part of her body.
Gu Yu raised his eyes to look at her. His gaze was as gloomy as ever, but the gaze he used to look at her was no longer gentle and doting. He opened his mouth and slowly said, “Xu Weilai, you mentioned divorce to me before. I also accidentally saw… The divorce document that you prepared.”
In terms of the divorce, Xu Weilai knew that he meant since she had always wanted to let go of their marriage.
As for the divorce document that she prepared, it was at that time… because Yun Rou had caused a rife between them, so she had prepared it.
So, he had seen it…
That divorce document had only existed for one night, and she had destroyed it the very next day, so the time that he had seen it was definitely that night.
No wonder he had been avoiding her since then, because he was afraid that she would mention the divorce. He had even taken the initiative to announce their marriage at the birthday banquet, in order to maintain the marriage, and not… for her.
