Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 1095 - 1094 Brushing Past Each Other
Chapter 1095: Chapter 1094 Brushing Past Each Other
The rumbling thunder came intermittently, and the wind grew stronger, lifting scraps of paper and plastic bags into the air. The leaves in the greenbelts rustled loudly in the wind, and the sky turned as dark as night, with thick clouds blocking all light.
Gu Shaoting looked at the sky, and then at the time, and without hesitation, he drove to the vicinity of Shu Pan’s office.
When Shu Pan left the office, she saw the pitch-black sky and couldn’t help feeling anxious. Today, her driver was not available and had gone home.
She figured it wasn’t too far and she could take a taxi anyway, but who would have known a storm would suddenly brew?
The rain had already started, falling urgently. The weather was becoming increasingly unpredictable. The large drops were pounding down, nothing like the delicate softness of spring rain. The thunderstorms of this season carried an extra touch of violence.
Just as Shu Pan was worrying, Lu Lei’s car slowly approached.
...
This time, Lu Lei got out of the car and ran to Shu Pan’s side, “Let’s go, I’ll give you a ride. It’s hard to hail a cab in this weather, and who knows when the rain will stop?”
Shu Pan wanted to refuse, but the rain seemed to be getting heavier. Finally, she nodded and reluctantly joined him in the black Mercedes parked not far away.
Inside the car, Lu Lei handed Shu Pan a towel he kept for convenience, suggesting she wipe her slightly damp hair.
However, Shu Pan declined. Her relationship with Lu Lei was that of a superior and a subordinate, so it was inappropriate to accept his kindness, which might come off as ambiguous.
Shu Pan took out tissues from her bag to wipe the rain from her face and her handbag.
Lu Lei was stunned for a moment, then looked at her and let out a wry smile after a long while, self-deprecatingly twitching the corner of his mouth.
Shu Pan’s guard was truly high; it was difficult to even show her a little kindness.
“Director Lu, you should wipe yourself down too, so you don’t catch a cold from the rain,” Shu Pan said, noticing that Lu Lei kept looking her way, which made her feel uncomfortable, so she spoke up to remind him.
Lu Lei’s heart skipped a beat, he smiled, then carelessly wiped his hair with his hand.
In the car, the two sat in silence; Shu Pan watched the scenery outside the window, while Lu Lei watched her. The rain outside intensified, pummeling the windshield, streaming down the glass and blurring the view.
After a while, Lu Lei shifted his gaze, straightened his posture, and started the car to leave.

Neither of them noticed that as they drove off, a Mercedes identical to theirs was coming towards them.
Shu Pan was so focused on the water streaming down the window that she also didn’t notice.
That’s how thunderstorms are: fast to arrive and quick to leave. In less than half an hour, the downpour had stopped. The once dim sky lightened, with the dark clouds dispersing and the color gradually returning. The air was cool and fresh after the rain.
Suddenly, Shu Pan remembered she hadn’t told Lu Lei her home address.
Just as she was about to speak, Lu Lei’s phone rang. She couldn’t hear what was said on the other end.
Lu Lei exclaimed in agitation, “What? What’s going on? I’ll be home immediately.”
After hanging up, Lu Lei apologized, “Shu Pan, I’m sorry, my daughter has a high fever…”
“Is it serious? Then you should rush home quickly. You can’t delay when a child has a high fever,” Shu Pan, being a mother herself, naturally understood the feeling.
“Okay, then you…” Lu Lei asked.
“It’s still early. I’ll go over and take a look too, see if there’s anything I can help with.” Shu Pan had heard that Director Lu had divorced his wife. He had been kind enough to offer her a ride home, and now that he had a problem, she couldn’t be the type of person who only looked out for herself.
