After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 124 Clear-headed
Yu Yousheng walked to a place in the villa area where she could hail a ride-hailing car, bought some flowers first, and then asked the driver to take her to the cemetery.

In the cemetery, I first asked the caretaker about the location of the tombstones, then walked to a tombstone, wiped the photo on it with my fingertips, put down the flowers, and stepped back a few paces.

Her voice was soft: "I'm back."

“Everything has changed. You once said that I am selfish and cold-hearted, which is why you returned to China without telling me and didn’t even inform me when you died.”

"Sometimes I really hate you, hate you for leaving like that. I'm thinking, the truly selfish and cold-hearted person is you, not me. I just saw her too, she's not doing well either. I wonder if you'd be satisfied with this outcome from the afterlife."

Yu Yousheng's eyes were empty, as indifferent as ever. Finally, she chuckled softly, "Sometimes I think I'm stupid. Why did I come back? I don't belong here. I grew up abroad and my greatest love is freedom."

She took a piece of paper out of her bag, then pulled out the lighter she had just received from the gravedigger from her pocket. She squatted down, lit the incense stick, and then burned the paper. As it burned, the smoke entered her nostrils, which was quite unpleasant.

“I will pretend I didn’t see what’s written here. Don’t come looking for me tonight either, but if you insist on coming to yell at me, that’s fine too, because… I want to ask you why you abandoned your father back then, had a daughter with another man, and then returned to your family and had me. I want to know what you were thinking.”

……

For nearly half a month, Yu Yousheng has performed very well, and Song Jin'an approves of her educational abilities and methods.

Moreover, for some reason, Song Jin'an always felt a natural affinity for Yu Yousheng. Perhaps it was because of the similarity in their common faces, or perhaps it was because Yu Yousheng's appearance resembled the woman in that photo.

However, Yu Yousheng always politely accepted Song Jin'an's overtures, maintaining a strong sense of boundaries.

She acted like a daughter raised in a highly educated family, and she didn't feel distant from Gu Hetang. In fact, Gu Hetang liked her very much and would give her her favorite candy every time after class.

My eyes sparkled with anticipation when I greeted her in the morning.

Furthermore, Yu Yousheng maintained a respectful distance from Gu Xijue, unlike Du Lan who had previously shown similar ulterior motives and an eagerness to cling to him. Lin's mother also felt that she had finally found a tutor without any scheming or manipulative tendencies, so her attitude towards Yu Yousheng improved considerably.

After the class ended, Yu Yousheng left, leaving Gu Hetang with homework.

Song Jin'an's gaze fell on Gu Hetang in front of her. Children develop very quickly and have a strong learning ability.

In particular, his language skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the last two weeks. It's like the floodgates have been opened, and he's in the process of releasing the floodwaters. He talks a lot and is also very willing to learn.

At this moment, Gu Hetang was finishing her homework, looking very serious. When she couldn't figure it out, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, a look that was very much like her father.

Song Jin'an held her on his lap and sat with her for a while. Only when Lin Ma had some free time did he go upstairs to finish his own business.

Her comics are already quite well-known, and some readers even give her tips. Although the money isn't much, it's all earned by herself. Last month, she received 4,000 yuan in royalties, the first time she'd ever earned so much money, and her excitement was indescribable.

Because she is already able to support herself, even if she gets divorced, her child will have more security staying with her.

That night, Song Jin'an carried Gu Hetang to bed. After he fell asleep, she left the children's room. Wanting a drink of water, she went downstairs to get some. As soon as she got downstairs, she saw that the kitchen light was on. She thought that Lin Ma had forgotten to turn it off, so she went to turn it off.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got there, I saw a man opening the refrigerator.

She stood there, somewhat stunned. The phone call Lin's mother received tonight said he was going to a party and wouldn't be home for dinner, but now she looked like... was he hungry?
When Gu Xijue saw her come out, he frowned and said, "You're not asleep? Make me a bowl of noodles." His gaze was fixed on her, and only then did Song Jin'an remember to gesture with her hands.

— Haven't you eaten yet?
Gu Xijue stared at her without even raising an eyebrow: "Would I make you eat noodles if I did?"

Upon hearing this, Song Jin'an realized it made sense. Gu Xijue, with a cold expression and a commanding tone, said in a chilling voice, "What are you still standing there for? Is it too much trouble for you to make me a bowl of noodles?"

Gu Xijue has always been impulsive in his speech.

Seeing her standing there motionless, his expression grew even more sour: "You don't want to?"

"If you don't want to, go upstairs to sleep. I'll have Lin's mother get up and do it."

Actually, Gu Xijue can cook, but he just likes to tease the women in front of him.

—Aunt Lin is asleep, don't wake her, I'll do it.

As soon as she said that, she went into the kitchen, walked to the refrigerator, and looked inside to see what usable vegetables were left.

Gu Xijue left and sat in the restaurant waiting. Song Jin'an quickly cooked a bowl of noodles with scallions floating on top, a very homey dish, and placed it in front of him.

"It looks pretty good," he said, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Song Jin'an's cooking skills have always been quite good. She has been cooking for herself since she was a child. When she first started cooking, she even needed to stand on a stool.

So she has been cooking for a long time. However, after marrying into the Gu family, although they no longer treated her well, she was still Gu Xijue's wife, and the Gu family had servants, so she rarely went into the kitchen anymore.

After you finish eating, just put the bowl in the sink and wash it tomorrow.

She didn't expect this man of noble birth to wash the dishes. Gu Xijue saw it but didn't say anything, only thinking that the noodles were pretty good and quite delicious.

After gesturing, Song Jin'an went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and went upstairs. After drinking the water, she prepared to go to sleep, but she didn't expect that ten minutes later, Gu Xijue came again. He opened the door to the second bedroom and was very unhappy to see her inside.

"Sleeping in separate beds again?" Gu Xijue was displeased, and then said bluntly, "I'm not divorced from you yet. As long as we're not divorced, you should fulfill your marital obligations."

Song Jin'an was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that what he said made sense; she was the woman he had spent a lot of money to marry.

She didn't want to argue; arguing late at night was exhausting. So she went back to the master bedroom with him. The two lay on the bed, and after a few minutes, the man called her again: "Why are you so far away? Get over here."

Song Jin'an pursed her lips and turned to look at him.

The next second, her hand was tightly gripped by the man, and the next second, her lips were kissed. Song Jin'an wanted to struggle, but then she remembered his words about marital obligations, and her body went limp. After their lovemaking, her mind was very clear. While Gu Xijue went to take a shower, she swallowed a birth control pill and then fell into a deep sleep...
