Chapter 550: Just an Accident?

After finishing the business, the sky had darkened, and Su Qi suggested having a meal together.

Feng Tingshen: "Sorry, I have some urgent matters; let's do the meal next time."

Su Qi smiled and said: "The urgent matter you speak of, could it be going to accompany Miss Lin for a meal?"

Feng Tingshen paused but did not refute it.

Seeing this, Su Qi realized that Feng Tingshen had tacitly admitted it.

"Didn't they say a few days ago that Miss Lin was already fine? Still such a treasure? Accompanying her every day for meals—"

As Su Qi said this, his gaze glanced toward Rong Ci and he suddenly stopped, hurriedly apologizing to Rong Ci: "Sorry, about that, because you two—"

It was true that he knew about the situation between Rong Ci and Feng Tingshen, but during these days when they met to discuss business, the two parties involved both acted as if they were truly nothing more than cooperative partners with no other connection, to the point that he sometimes really forgot the relationship that existed between the two of them.

Rong Ci could see that Su Qi had no ill intent.

She also roughly understood what he hadn't finished saying.

Her expression remained unmoved as she said: "It's okay."

Gu Yan felt a bit strange, not understanding why Su Qi had suddenly started apologizing to Rong Ci.

He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't think it was a big deal, so he didn't think deeply about it.

When Feng Jingxin put down her phone, Rong Ci happened to go upstairs. Feng Jingxin said: "Mom, Dad just called and said he sent someone to pick me up to go out to play. Dad also said you don't have time to go with us. Mom, what are you busy with?"

It was Feng Tingshen who broke the silence first.

His expression unchanged, he looked at Rong Ci: "Then... let's gather next time; I'll be leaving first."

Rong Ci nodded silently.

Su Qi: "……"

Look at this politeness and courtesy; who could tell that they were once husband and wife?

Feng Tingshen left, and Su Qi and Rong Ci and the others still went to have a meal together.

It wasn't even eight o'clock in the evening after the meal. During this period, it hadn't been that busy. Gu Yan walked beside Rong Ci and looked at her, suddenly saying: "It's still early; how about we walk around nearby to digest?"

Rong Ci was stunned for a moment, and just as she was pondering how to answer, Gu Yan said: "I heard a bit of the content when Director Yu was on the phone with you this morning. You... did you two go to the Minzheng Bureau to handle the divorce application again this morning?"

Rong Ci paused, but in the end, she nodded and said "Mm."

Gu Yan had been working at Chang Mo for such a long time, so he naturally knew that she and the husband he had never met had already gone to handle divorce procedures several times, but because of various reasons, they never succeeded in the end.

He couldn't help but ask: "This time... will you really divorce?"

Rong Ci said: "If there are no accidents, yes."

"So, the previous times you didn't succeed, was it because of accidents?"

If it were just accidents, they shouldn't have gone on for so long without officially divorcing.

When Gu Yan asked Rong Ci these things, his tone was gentle, without any intention of deliberately offending or pressing her; he simply wanted to know.

Rong Ci said indifferently: "There were accidents, and there were other factors."

Gu Yan was actually very curious about what these other factors were.

But he also knew that it wasn't appropriate for him to continue pressing.

He nodded, didn't press further, and only said: "Then I'll ask you again in a while. If you two have really divorced by then, if I ask you, will you tell me the result?"

Telling him the result was naturally fine.

However—

She looked at Gu Yan, wanting to say something, but Gu Yan had already guessed it: "I know what you want to say. You don't need to persuade me; you won't be able to persuade me."

Rong Ci: "……" ===== CHAPTER 551 =====
