Gu Shaoting finished a glass and then poured another one. Seeing that he couldn’t dissuade him, He Ming just let him be. As long as he didn’t mix his drinks, his stomach wouldn’t ache.

Before long, He Ming noticed that Gu Shaoting looked absent-minded, his eyes distant, and his face flushed. He quickly grabbed his hand to stop him from drinking more.

Gu Shaoting shook off his hand and wanted to continue drinking.

“Brother Ting, that’s enough. Stop drinking. You’re already getting drunk. Be mindful of your stomach,” He Ming cautioned.

“Don’t babble. Just let me drink!” Gu Shaoting’s face was red as he spoke loudly.

“It’s late, let’s go. We can come again another time, okay?” He Ming just wanted to take him back as quickly as possible.

Gu Shaoting stumbled out of the private room, and He Ming rushed forward to support him.

With great effort, He Ming managed to get Gu Shaoting back to Shuimu

Qinghua. He helped him sit on the bed, and when he lay down, he groaned.

He Ming left the room to get a glass of water. As he entered with the water, he heard Gu Shaoting muttering to himself.

“Shu Pan… Bring water… I’m thirsty.” Gu Shaoting waved his hand.

“Where are you?” He murmured.

After listening for a moment, He Ming sighed internally. So, he couldn’t let go of her. Now he was using alcohol to drown his sorrows, but how did he decide on a divorce in the first place? Moreover, with such a heartless way of ending the marriage, there probably wasn’t any chance of reconciliation.

He Ming approached and helped him take a sip of water. Seeing that Gu Shaoting was getting sleepy, he closed the door and rubbed his own arm, pondering that he wouldn’t invite him for drinks again in the future. It was a self-inflicted hardship.

Lying in bed, Gu Shaoting tossed and turned. Suddenly, he sat up, saw his phone on the bedside table, and picked it up. After glancing at it, he dialed a number.

Shu Pan, who was about to go to sleep, was startled. She wondered who would call her at this late hour.

Looking at the screen, her heart raced. How could it be him? She then realized that it was late, so perhaps something had happened.

Biting her lip, she hurriedly brought the phone to her ear. “Shu Pan… Who do you think you are? My life is better without you… happier… just get lost… go far away, and don’t come back…”

From the other end of the phone, Gu Shaoting’s voice sounded fragmented and intermittent, quite different from his usual cold and deep voice. It was evident that he was drunk, but alcohol often brought out the truth.

It turned out that he hated her to this extent. Even when he was drunk, he didn’t forget. Thinking about it, Shu Pan’s eyes turned red.

Gu Shaoting kept on rambling, but Shu Pan suddenly hung up the call.

Then she added his number to the blocklist. After the divorce, there was no need for continued involvement. At this point, Gu Shaoting, with his fuzzy mind, still held his phone, clueless about what had happened, already slipping into a deep sleep.

If he had known what would happen in the future, he would definitely regret drinking tonight, as it had led to complications.

Now he was probably just a detested ex-husband in Shu Pan’s heart, and any remaining affection would gradually fade away with each successive disappointment.

Shu Pan had a sleepless night, and whenever she thought about Gu Shaoting’s words, her heart ached.

The morning sun had already filled the room, and Gu Shaoting woke up. Lying in bed, he rubbed his head. He only remembered He Ming helping him leave. After that, everything was a blur. He hadn’t been this drunk in a long time.

Sitting up, he felt that the room was cold and devoid of warmth.

Walking out to the living room and taking in his surroundings, nothing had changed. Everything was in its place, but many feelings had shifted.

Gu Shaoting stared blankly at the kitchen for a moment before going to freshen up. Then he called a driver to pick him up and take him back to the company..
