Let's Divorce As Agreed

In the car, Shu Pan sat quietly without saying a word.

The ride was smooth, and Shu Pan gazed out the window.

“Pan, what would you like to eat?” Su Yuan asked.

“Anything is fine. Let’s find a place nearby since it’s getting late.” Actually, Shu Pan wanted to finish the conversation quickly and head home. She wasn’t sure if Gu Shaoting would be back for dinner. Lately, she had been busy with work, and there was one evening when she wasn’t able to prepare anything. Fortunately, he had his own commitments that day, so he didn’t complain.

“That won’t do. Choose something you like. I want to treat you.” Su Yuan said seriously.

“Then let’s go to the Western restaurant ahead.” Shu Pan thought the environment there was more serene, making conversation easier.

“Alright, your choice.” The car slowly pulled up outside the Western restaurant.

Closing the menu, Su Yuan gazed steadily at Shu Pan. He felt like he could never get enough of looking at her.

He used to think that success was the only goal worth pursuing. However, when he truly succeeded, he realized that if his success wasn’t shared with a loved one, it was all meaningless.

Especially when he looked at Shu Pan, this thought became even stronger.

Knowing that he wasn’t free yet, he had been restraining himself from seeing Shu Pan. But because of their company’s collaboration, he was secretly delighted. Finally, he had a legitimate reason to see her.

“Don’t worry too much about the design sketches. There will be many more opportunities in the future. If you face any difficulties, you can talk to me.” Su Yuan comforted her.

“It’s alright, it’s my own fault. I just owe you money. I’ll repay you as soon as possible.” Shu Pan seemed a bit uneasy.

“That’s not urgent.” In his heart, if this small sum of money made her remember his favor, then so be it.

“Su Yuan, don’t treat me too well. We are in the past now. Treat the person by your side well. Being together is fate. Cherish it.” Shu Pan hinted, hoping he would understand the meaning behind her words.

“Pan, I’ve already said that I don’t love her. I’m with her just to achieve success faster. We have a mutually beneficial relationship, without any emotional basis.” Suddenly, a hint of gloom appeared in Su Yuan’s eyes, his tone becoming icy.

Shu Pan looked at Su Yuan before her and felt like he was a stranger.

The old him had been gentle with a touch of sunshine. Every time she saw him, he wore a smile, even when he left initially. Though his smile carried an apology, he was still smiling. But now, although he treated her gently, the occasional malicious expression he revealed caught her off guard.

She had never seen that side of him before.

Time truly was a knife that stripped away a person’s initial appearance. Seeing each other again, they were completely different.

Some scars, even when healed, still hurt, and one must learn to forget.

“But marriage is sacred. It can’t be taken lightly. Since you’re married, treat your wife well.” Shu Pan advised.

“Pan, you don’t understand. For the past six years, I’ve lived in conflict. I longed for success that could bring you happiness, but my marriage has held me back. I can’t rightfully possess you. Now, I can finally break free from all of this. Give me time, wait for me, alright?” Suddenly, Su Yuan held Shu Pan’s hand.

Shu Pan was startled and quickly pulled her hand away.

“Su Yuan, calm down. We really can’t go back. I’m grateful for your help during my difficult times. I’ll remember it for a lifetime. But our past is truly gone. I hope you can find peace as well.” Shu Pan thought of Zhou Jie’s words and let out a sigh.

“Pan, I won’t let go. Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything.” Su Yuan thought she was concerned about Zhou Jie, so he consoled her.

Shu Pan looked at him, unable to do anything in the face of his stubbornness..
