After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage - Chapter 712
Chapter 712: Chapter 712: No Love Left, No Need
The rain had fallen all night, and it wasn’t until the next day that it cleared up.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the sunlight spread across the earth.
Looking at this day, Wen Yanqing, who had sat alone all night, had tears brimming in her eyes.
She knew it still wasn’t enough, if he had thrown away all his worries, he would have come to find her already. She had to force him into a corner where he had no opportunity to hesitate, compel him to follow his heart and make a decision. How cruel.
Clearly, they couldn’t live without each other.
Lin Gantang quietly went downstairs, with Ximi following closely behind. She bent down to caress it a few times, then shooed it back, and left the Wen family’s residence, stepping on the wet ground of the courtyard.
She had the Lin family’s driver come to pick her up, and seeing that it was about time, she slowly walked towards the main road.
The weather had cleared, and the branches and leaves of the roadside trees couldn’t bear the weight of the raindrops, which fell drip by drip.
Lin Gantang wiped off the droplets that fell on her shoulders.
A car was parked by the roadside, Lin Gantang saw it, but paid it no mind, continuing forward.
Gu Zhichuan got out of the car and caught up with her.
“I went to your house looking for you, your dad said you were at the Wen family’s,” Gu Zhichuan said as he followed her. “I’ve been waiting here for you for many days.”
Lin Gantang didn’t even give him a glance, “Why wait for me? Didn’t we agree you wouldn’t bother me again?”
“I have something to tell you.” Gu Zhichuan keenly noticed her swollen eyes and his heart tightened, “You’ve cried, are you unhappy? Is it because of Wen Yanqing he…”
Lin Gantang looked at him indifferently, cutting off his words, “Which lovers haven’t cried? When I was with you, I cried and you never cared. Why do you care who I cry for now?”
Thinking of the past, Gu Zhichuan was filled with regret, “I’m sorry.”
Lin Gantang stopped at the spot agreed upon with the driver and ignored him further.
But Gu Zhichuan refused to leave; after a moment of silence, he asked, “Did Wen Yanqing come clean with you?”
“You mean his head injury? He told me,” Lin Gantang responded indifferently.
“Then you…”
“Of course, I will take even better care of him. What were you hoping for?” Lin Gantang looked towards him, “You’ve been waiting here for so many days to tell me something about Yanqing’s irrecoverable condition? Do you always have to upset me because you can’t stand to see me doing well?”
Gu Zhichuan’s heart seized, “I was afraid you were being deceived by him without knowing the truth. Even if you don’t choose me, I would accept it if you chose someone else. With your conditions, you don’t have to waste your time on Wen Yanqing.”
“When I was in a bad mood and ugly, Yanqing never disliked me. Now that he has some health issues, should I eagerly leave him?” Lin Gantang’s clear autumnal eyes calmly swept over him, “Do you think I’m like you, with such a cold and indifferent nature?”
Gu Zhichuan’s eyes showed pain, “That was the old me. Can’t you see what I am like now?”
“I don’t love you anymore, there’s no need,” Lin Gantang told him coldly and mercilessly.
Six words, each one a dagger to the heart.
The car arrived, stopping in front of Lin Gantang.
The driver came out to open the door for her.
As Lin Gantang stepped forward to get into the car, turning around, Gu
Zhichuan saw what was in her hand, and his expression changed instantly as he stepped forward to block her.
He grabbed Lin Gantang’s hand, “What are you holding?”
“I’m holding something from my own house, what’s with that look? It’s as if I’ve stolen something of yours.” Lin Gantang said with a stern face, “Let go, don’t waste my time.”
“Where are you taking the Household Register?” Gu Zhichuan stared intensely at the red book.
Lin Gantang laughed scornfully, “Where I’m going, do I need your permission?”
She shook off Gu Zhichuan’s hand and slammed the car door shut.
