Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 7
Chapter 7
The music continued playing, and the doors on the side of the hall opened. The bridesmaids started walking forward, and the groom and the officiant were already standing on the stage.
The bride appeared, trailing a long wedding dress, and the bouquet on her chest was pure and radiant.
Shu Pan’s heart was filled with excitement and envy because Gu Shaoting’s proposal was simple and he had mentioned that the company had just started to take off, so he was busy. Moreover, her mother-in-law had some reservations about her, considering her to be a simple girl from a modest background, not a high society socialite. Therefore, they had only registered their marriage and didn’t have a wedding banquet.
However, Shu Pan felt a bit overwhelmed by the situation. The bride had to smile at every guest, and she could see the exhaustion on her face.
The banquet had just begun, and Shu Pan felt the need to use the restroom. She went around on the first floor, and a waiter told her that it was crowded there and she could go to the second floor.
Indeed, there were fewer people on the second floor. The hotel’s corridor was covered with thick carpets, and there was no sound when she walked on it. As Shu Pan was about to open the door, she suddenly heard Gu Shaoting’s voice from inside. It turned out that they hadn’t come down to the banquet hall yet.
“Do you have the other medication? Sometimes she feels nauseous after taking this one, and I’m worried that she won’t take it on time, which might affect its effectiveness. I want to make sure there are no mistakes,” Gu Shaoting’s voice lacked any emotion.
“Aren’t you afraid that Shu Pan will find out?” He Ming’s deep voice sounded, “She has always been innocent. Actually, Shaoting, you’ve been married for three years now. After all these years, shouldn’t you let go of the resentment in your heart? Or are you still thinking about Tong Fei?”
Shu Pan didn’t know what resentment Gu Shaoting had, but she had heard Tong Fei’s name multiple times tonight.
Shu Pan withdrew her hand, her nerves suddenly jumping, and took a step back, pressing her body tightly against the wall, as if all the blood in her body was about to congeal.
“Every medicine has its side effects. If you don’t want it, then take precautions yourself,” He Ming continued persuading.
“Stop talking nonsense. Give me the medicine,” Gu Shaoting said coldly.
“Alright then, but don’t regret it in the future. The wedding is about to begin, and Shaohuai is probably delayed by something. Let’s go down and wait.”
When Shu Pan heard that they were leaving, she quickly walked to the corridor beside them. Then, she found the toilet and went in. However, at this moment, her heart was still beating rapidly and she could not calm down.
As Shu Pan reflected on the three years of her marriage with Gu Shaoting, she could only feel his passion when they were in bed. Otherwise, he always had a cold demeanor. She thought it was just his personality, but it turned out that he harbored resentment toward her. He resented her to the point of not wanting to have children with her. Then why did he marry her? Shu Pan truly felt like her soul was leaving her body. Suddenly, all her beliefs collapsed.
When Shu Pan returned to her seat, everyone was focused on eating with their heads down. No one noticed her. When Gu Shaoting entered the banquet hall earlier, he didn’t spot Shu Pan. His gaze wandered several times, and only when he saw her sitting back at her seat did he turn his head and start talking to the person next to him.
Shu Pan had no appetite as she watched the banquet draw to a close. She sent a message to Gu Shaoting, “I’m feeling a bit unwell. I’m leaving.”
By the time Gu Shaoting saw the message, she had already left the hotel.
Gu Shaoting called her, but no one answered. He felt inexplicably agitated.
Shu Pan didn’t know how to face Gu Shaoting right now. She needed some time to calm down.
