After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Gu Mingchuan's body trembled instantly. He thought that Bai Susu had changed her mind and turned back to find him. When he happily turned back with affection, wanting to pull Bai Susu into his arms, his smile suddenly stopped. The person was not Bai Susu, but Su Lingyi, who had long admired him.

Su Lingyi had already seen in the classmate group that Gu Mingchuan would be attending the class reunion, so she had already found out where he lived through a male classmate who was close to Gu Mingchuan. This afternoon, she had been following Gu Mingchuan closely.

Although she didn't hear exactly what they were saying here, she could guess what had happened just by looking at them from a distance.

After seeing Bai Susu and the others leave, leaving Gu Mingchuan alone and heartbroken, Su Lingyi quickly ran over and hugged Gu Mingchuan from behind, trying to take advantage of the situation.

When Gu Mingchuan saw that the person in front of him was not Bai Susu but Su Lingyi, he instinctively pushed Su Lingyi away and scolded, "What are you doing?"

Su Lingyi looked at Gu Mingchuan and said sadly, "When you turned around just now, you looked happy. You must have thought that Bai Susu had come back to find you, right?"

Gu Mingchuan did not reply to Su Lingyi's words, and did not even bother to look at her.

Su Lingyi looked at Gu Mingchuan's cold face and said, "What's so good about Bai Susu? All these years, you've been waiting for her, but what about her? She's already fallen for another man. Do you think it's worth it for you to persist for such a fickle woman?"

Upon hearing Su Lingyi's words, Gu Mingchuan rebuked her sternly, "I will not allow you to belittle Su Su like that. I was in the wrong first, so you can't blame her!"

Upon hearing Gu Mingchuan's words, Su Lingyi sneered and said, "Heh, Gu Mingchuan, you're still speaking up for her even now? You had your reasons for leaving back then. If Bai Susu truly loved you, why didn't she choose you even after you explained things to her? Haven't you ever thought about that?"

Although Gu Mingchuan disliked hearing Su Lingyi speak ill of Bai Susu, these words truly struck a chord with him. "Yes," he thought, "I've explained everything clearly to her, so why? Why won't Bai Susu forgive me? Is it not a matter of forgiveness at all, but rather that Bai Susu has already changed her mind and has no feelings for me anymore?"
No, no, that's impossible. They were the golden couple on campus, and they had already made plans for the future. Back then, they only had eyes for each other. He didn't want Bai Susu to forget him so quickly. Gu Mingchuan was unwilling to admit this fact.

Gu Mingchuan, enraged, said, "Enough, Su Lingyi, the matter between Susu and me is none of your business!"

Su Lingyi looked at Gu Mingchuan and sneered, "Heh, Gu Mingchuan, you're so angry because you think what I said is true and you can't accept it, right? Gu Mingchuan, Bai Susu has fallen in love with someone else, that's an unchangeable fact, you have to accept it whether you like it or not!"

Gu Mingchuan angrily shouted, "You don't understand! That man is a liar! He's deceiving Susu. Susu is only temporarily blinded by him. Once that man's true colors are revealed, Susu will definitely change her mind!"

Su Lingyi said, "How do you know she was deceived? Besides, even if she was deceived, what can you do if Bai Susu is willing? Why do you have to hang yourself on one tree? I don't think I'm any worse than Bai Susu, and I've liked you for so long. Can't you consider me?" To be honest, Gu Mingchuan's feelings for Bai Susu were indeed very sincere, but he didn't understand that with the passage of time, things were no longer as he imagined.

The harm he caused to Bai Susu was irreversible. Although everything has been explained now and Bai Susu has completely resolved her inner conflict, the shadow of that incident will forever remain in Bai Susu's heart.

This cannot be simply judged as right or wrong. Gu Mingchuan was not wrong, nor was Bai Susu. If anyone is to blame, it is fate. Two people who are not destined to be together can never be together.

Upon hearing Su Lingyi's words, Gu Mingchuan immediately said, "Be my girlfriend now!"

Of course, Gu Mingchuan's words were not what Su Lingyi understood. Gu Mingchuan's real intention was simply to have Su Lingyi temporarily act as his girlfriend, so he could see Bai Susu's reaction.

Although many years have passed since what happened between them, he doesn't believe that the person he thinks about day and night has completely forgotten him.

Moreover, if the man beside Bai Susu is a liar, he must rescue Bai Susu from that man. He had already hurt her once years ago, and Gu Mingchuan would not allow anyone to hurt her again.

Although Gu Mingchuan appears to be a cold and aloof man, he is deeply in love with Bai Susu. Over the years, Gu Mingchuan has indeed been thinking about Bai Susu all the time. He now regrets leaving so quietly back then. If he had been more assertive, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way between him and Bai Susu.

Although that's what Gu Mingchuan thought, Su Lingyi didn't. She was truly shocked by Gu Mingchuan's sudden words. She stared blankly at Gu Mingchuan's handsome profile, overwhelmed with excitement. Gu Mingchuan had been in love with Bai Susu for many years, and Su Lingyi had also always been thinking about Gu Mingchuan.

However, Gu Mingchuan has not developed any further relationships with other women over the years, while Su Lingyi is different. Before meeting Gu Mingchuan, she had a boyfriend who doted on her, but she dumped him after meeting him last time.

It took Su Lingyi a while to recover from Gu Mingchuan's words. Looking at Gu Mingchuan, her eyes were full of joy. She didn't care about the meaning behind Gu Mingchuan's words, nor did she know his real purpose. She excitedly reached out and hugged Gu Mingchuan. Then she wanted to stand on tiptoe to kiss Gu Mingchuan's cheek. Just as Su Lingyi's lips were about to approach Gu Mingchuan's cheek, Gu Mingchuan slightly turned his body and dodged away.

Su Lingyi wasn't angry when she saw Gu Mingchuan's dodge. Instead, she smiled happily at him and said, "That's wonderful! Do you know how much I've wanted to be with you all these years?" (End of Chapter)
