"Yu Fei, let"s go."
Looking up, Yu Fei sees Gu Yi"s typical smile. For a second, she is stunned. When she comes to herself, he has already put his hand on her shoulder, leading her into the mall.
She turns her head and glances at the big hand which has clear bones and clean nails.
The moment the thought emerges in her mind, her body responds. Yu Fei leans forward slightly, and keeps a moderate distance with Gu Yi.
His left hand pauses awkwardly in the air for a second and then he withdraws it naturally.
Gu Yi doesn"t show any hint of dissatisfaction, but smiles indulgingly.
Seeing his smile, Yu Fei inevitably recalls everything with Ko Chen before, and feels bitter.
They go directly to the maternal and child area on the seventh floor. Yu Fei is fully attracted by all kinds of small and elaborate clothes and toys at first sight.
Now without Gu Yi"s persuasion, she enters a store spontaneously. Scrutinizing her, one will find her clear eyes are overflowing with maternal light, as if her whole body were bathed in gentle sunshine.
Gu Yi follows her quietly, and when occasionally Yu Fei cannot choose which to buy, she will turn back and ask him. But she doesn"t know they look like a couple in other people"s eyes when they ask and answer interchangeably.
What Ko Chen sees outside the store is this scene. He stares at Yu Fei madly when he sees the woman"s smile flowing out of the corner of her mouth. He wants to rush in and hold her in his arms.
If he is not ill, then the man who accompanies Yu Fei should only be him. But now...
The light in Ko Chen"s eyes fades away gradually until his eyes are completely dim, and his hands fall feebly on his sides.
"Ok, I agree to divorce."
Yu Fei"s crisp voice reverberates in his mind again. It was not that he didn"t see the woman"s reluctance and stubbornness beneath her words, but that there was nothing he could do but push her farther and farther.
Thinking of these things, Ko Chen is ready to turn around, but sees a man with sungla.s.ses right opposite him. The man acts suspiciously and takes pictures of Yu Fei.
Ko Chen frowns his handsome eyebrows. Where comes the sc.u.m?
He orders Uncle Zhang to find out the master behind the man. And then he doesn"t watch Yu Fei, but goes straight into the elevator to attend an important meeting.
The moment Yu Fei looks up, she sees a shadow extremely like Ko Chen. She can"t believe her eyes, and rubs her eyes to see clearly, but there is nothing.
Her mouth forces a bitter curve. Yu Fei looks down at the little lovely clothes in her hands, feeling depressed. Ko Chen is so determined to divorce her, how can he sees her in the corner?
Gu Yi sharply observes Yu Fei"s changing moods. Stepping quietly forward, he whispers a concerned inquiry.
With a gentle voice reverberating in her ears, Yu Fei"s camouflaged power collapses. She holds around his neck and bursts into weeping.
Seeing this scene, the man with the camera in the corner hurriedly presses the shutter, and takes dozens of photos in a flash. Then he shows a satisfied smile, and leaves quietly.
Yu Fei vents all her feelings with tears. After a long while, she stops crying. Her eyes are red, and tears are still on her fairy face, which every man will sympathize with.
"Yu Fei, I can give what he can give, I will double what he can"t give. For seven years, will you give me a chance?" Gu Yi holds her hands gently, and each word he says is full of affection.
Yu Fei falters in her mind for a second, but she comes to herself soon. She withdraws her hands in a flurry and avoids Gu Yi"s eyes. She rejects simply but firmly, "Gu Yi, last time you said we were good friends, and also I only take you as a friend..."
In a flash, the world is frozen. Yu Fei is not willing to see his reaction, and turns her head stiffly in the opposite direction.
Gu Yi laughs. They do not mention a word tacitly about what just happened.
At first Yu Fei is still a little uncomfortable, but seeing he acts as if nothing happened, she thinks he gives up, and she feels relieved.
But she doesn"t know Gu Yi is pretending. He is determined to get Yu Fei now. He has no way when she was married. But now they are finally going to divorce, if he doesn"t seize this opportunity, he"ll never get another chance.
But Yu Fei"s reaction implies that it"s still hard for her to accept him, so he can"t act too hastily. He makes a plan and shows a smile that is not easy to detect.
All bags are held by Gu Yi when they go out of the mall. As there is nothing in Yu Fei"s hands, she wants to help him hold some bags, but he rejects without hesitation. She has no way but carries her bag and sits in the co-driver"s seat.
When Gu Yi drives Yu Fei home, the sky has darkened gradually. Considering his company, she decides to cook delicious dishes for him by herself.
The smell of the dishes soon flutters. Gu Yi goes into the kitchen along with the smell, and can"t help praising her, which reddens Yu Fei"s ears.
They have a pleasant dinner. Gu Yi doesn"t stay any longer after diner. After he washes all the dishes and bowls, he leaves.
Gu Yi left, and the house seems to be much bigger in an instant, but in the meantime, it"s also emptier. Yu Fei sits on the sofa and sets the TV volume to the maximum. However, she still can"t drive away the loneliness from the bottom of her heart.
She stands up and walks to the nursery room. She opens the door, and the color pink fills her eyes and lifts her spirits pretty much. She touches the objects one by one, and she feels softened in her heart.
She gropes her still flat belly in which the little baby has not grown up yet. But she has a wonderful feeling that she thinks she can connect the baby"s mind.
My baby, Mummy can"t give you a comfortable home, don"t blame me...
Her tears drip down from her cheeks. She cries silently. She stays in the nursery room until it"s very late, and then goes back to her room and washes and rests.
While in the Ko Family, Ko Chen stares at the table on which lays a stack of photos in which w.a.n.g Feng and the paparazzi meet. w.a.n.g Feng seems very satisfied with the photos and her face is all smiles.
Uncle Zhang stands aside, and feels the suffocating sense of pressure from his master. He hesitates for a second and asks, "Mr. Ko, what should we do with the two women?"
The "two women" absolutely refer to Yu Yu and w.a.n.g Feng. Although there is only w.a.n.g Feng in the photo, but he can figure out with his toes that the person who plots behind must be Yu Yu.
Thinking of this, Ko Chen"s face dims. He sneers with dull light flashing in his eyes.
"I"d like to see what they"re up to."
