Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 801 - 552: Extra Story—Pushing His Buttons (3)
No matter how she explained, it sounded like an excuse!
Instead, Gan Zi said, "According to research in clinical psychology, people who bring up this topic early on typically lack something."
With one sentence, Xu Ruowei was reverted to her original form.
Moreover, Gan Zi spoke with the serious demeanor of a scholar.
Xu Ruowei couldn’t hold her expression; her assistant came to fetch her just in time, and she immediately strode away.
Song Ziyu gazed at Gan Zi and softly said, "Thank you, Professor Gan..." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Gan Zi only patted her shoulder and said nothing.
If it had been Song Ziyu’s usual temperament, she would have undoubtedly made a sarcastic comeback, but perhaps the recent happenings in the small town caught her off guard, and her aspirations to develop the town brought unavoidable concerns.
It was precisely this concern that stopped her from confronting Xu Ruowei.
"Let’s go eat breakfast!" Gan Zi didn’t continue the earlier topic, "We’ll head to the botanical garden later."
After they walked to the restaurant, Qiao Xiaoyan and Bai Ye had already ordered their meals, speaking sweetly, exchanging smiles, full of affection.
For those immersed in love, the sky is blue, the clouds are white, and life is good.
Song Ziyu and Gan Zi went over, and Gan Zi’s phone rang; he stepped aside to take the call.
Song Ziyu sat next to Qiao Xiaoyan, who handed her breakfast, saying, "I saw that woman storming down here earlier; what happened?"
"She mocked me, but Professor Gan rebutted her with one sentence." Song Ziyu whispered.
Qiao Xiaoyan nodded, "Professor Gan genuinely cares for you, Ziyu. I feel that Xu Ruowei and Professor Gan might have some sort of relationship—not a romantic one, but something strange that I can’t pinpoint..."
"You’re a pathologist, yet you believe in feelings?" Song Ziyu ate a dumpling, a real handmade dumpling—thin-skinned and flavorful. So delicious!
At this moment, Su Tianqing had already showered, changed into casual clothes, dressed all in white, looking strikingly like a youthful man in his twenties!
Bai Ye glanced at his attire, "Bro, are you trying to match my age?"
Su Tianqing sat beside Song Ziyu, took a dumpling from her bowl with chopsticks and ate it, "Obviously, I look younger than you!"
Qiao Xiaoyan laughed, "President Su is worried about the age gap with Ziyu!"
Song Ziyu furrowed her brow, "If you want to eat, order some yourself!"
"Little Yu’er, I like to eat yours..." Su Tianqing paused here and didn’t continue.
Qiao Xiaoyan laughed, "Gosh, when President Su gets mushy, it’s unbearable!"
"I’m not asking you to bear it!" Su Tianqing snorted.
Song Ziyu repeated Gan Zi’s remark, "According to clinical psychology research, people who bring up this topic early on typically lack something."
Qiao Xiaoyan snorted with laughter, "That’s from Professor Gan!"
"Yes!" Song Ziyu nodded, "He just said it about Xu Ruowei!"
Bai Ye also laughed, "Professor Gan’s remarks are truly incisive!"
Su Tianqing couldn’t keep his expression, glanced at the three at the table, then pulled Song Ziyu away.
"What are you doing?" Song Ziyu frowned, "I haven’t eaten enough yet!"
"Going to find that man first thing in the morning; I haven’t fed you enough!" Su Tianqing huffed heavily.
Song Ziyu was speechless, "Su Tianqing, stop it already! There’s lots to be done today..."
As she spoke, she saw Xu Ruowei and Gan Zi talking outside.
Xu Ruowei endlessly teased her vintage wave curls, while Gan Zi stood calmly and firmly beneath the sky.
"What are you looking at?" Su Tianqing said distastefully, "Your Professor Gan and that woman are a perfect pair!"
Song Ziyu glared at Su Tianqing, "Indeed, you can’t expect anything nice out of a dog’s mouth!"
Su Tianqing tightened his grip on Song Ziyu’s wrist, "Isn’t it true? Wasn’t he supposed to leave today? But, with that woman’s appearance, he’s staying an extra day! Song Ziyu, haven’t you seen his true colors yet? Are you still pining over him?"
Song Ziyu tried to shake off Su Tianqing’s hand; she would never be troubled by such things. Right now, she just wanted to develop the town well! Hopefully, nothing bad would happen next!
"Su Tianqing, I only want to discuss investment matters with President Xu now." Song Ziyu couldn’t shake off his hand, so she said, "I don’t care about anything you said!"
Su Tianqing looked at her with an intense gaze, saying nothing more.
At this time, Xu Ruowei said to Gan Zi, "Senior, let’s go to the botanical garden together today. You must give some good suggestions; it’s crucial for Ziyu’s town!"
Gan Zi replied calmly, "The final decision rests with you and Ziyu, and I’m an outsider when it comes to high-tech biology."
"Alright then!" Xu Ruowei said coquettishly to Gan Zi, "You hurt me this morning for Ziyu. I’m so upset..."
Gan Zi said seriously, "Ziyu is a good girl; she’s genuinely intent on developing this town. Few women have such courage and ability, to walk a path others wouldn’t even dare to think about..."
"But, she really looks like she’s walking awkwardly... She must have been with Su Tianqing last night; what else can happen between a man and a woman alone?" Xu Ruowei said coyly.
At this moment, Su Tianqing glanced at Song Ziyu’s legs, were they really awkward...?
Song Ziyu noticed Su Tianqing’s scrutinizing gaze and pinched him hard on the waist, the wicked man!
If it weren’t for him, would she be spoken of like this by Xu Ruowei?
Not to mention, Xu Ruowei was humiliating her in front of her teacher!
Upon being pinched by Song Ziyu, Su Tianqing couldn’t hold back and cried out.
With that, Xu Ruowei and Gan Zi both looked over.
Su Tianqing boldly pulled Song Ziyu, walking to Xu Ruowei, "President Xu, Ziyu is my woman. The more intense our battle last night, the more I love her!"
Song Ziyu flushed with anger and then turned red; this was the first time he publicly admitted he loved her!
Su Tianqing was so proud. He had never confessed his love to her face!
But he wouldn’t allow anyone to bully her!
For the construction of a broken town, did she actually endure so much "humiliation"?
How could Su Tianqing bear it?
"Su Tianqing!" Song Ziyu looked at this reckless man, "I won’t bother with you anymore!"
She finished speaking and turned to leave.
Su Tianqing chased after her and blocked her way, looking at her, she was looking at him too.
Su Tianqing stared at her, "Song Ziyu, I’ve made my stance clear now. You may be able to endure others mocking you, but I can’t! Anyone who mocks you, I will mock them back!"
"What’s it to you?" Song Ziyu’s eyes were icy.
Su Tianqing walked to her, no more than ten centimeters away, he tilted his head and stared at her, "Aren’t you as proud in front of me? Never willing to admit defeat? But in front of others, you’re just a worm? Easily manipulated, flattened and reshaped? Song Ziyu, where’s your pride? Whatever you want to do to her, just do, I’ll always stand by you!"
"In speaking of this, I still have to thank you; if it weren’t for our divorce, I wouldn’t have come to this small town." Song Ziyu raised her eyes and gazed at him, directly meeting his gaze, "I wouldn’t have known I could do other things, but Su Tianqing, people can’t just do whatever they want; everyone has limits! This is maturity! And you, you’ll never mature..."
Su Tianqing let out a cold laugh, "If maturity means being so calmly tolerant like Gan Zi standing beside Xu Ruowei, listening to her sweet-talking nonsense, then why should I want this damned maturity? I will act my own way; I loathe her, so I want her out of this town. She won’t invest? I can’t find other investors? You let her invest, trying to build this town into what? A flirtatious town?"
