Yangyang cooked all the dishes today. You are really lucky, your wife is a star, she can earn money and cook. You should treat her better. Otherwise, how many people are eyeing such a good wife.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qichen chuckled: “I will take your advice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang immediately avoided Gu Qichen’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang was no good at acting, so she couldn’t act nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang wasn’t sure if Shen Shichuan did this on purpose or not today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shen Manbing was completely clueless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the dinner, Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen didn’t converse. Bluntly, Shen Manbing asked, “Did you two have a fight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qichen calmly replied, “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang added, “We weren’t arguing, we’re just getting a divorce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shichuan frowned, but Shen Manbing was shocked, dropping her chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Shen Manbing tentatively asked, “Are you kidding?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, whenever Xia Yangyang mentioned divorce, Gu Qichen would immediately become angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seemed like he had gotten used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He calmly picked a piece of braised pork and put it in Xia Yangyang’s bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he smiled at Shen Manbing: “She’s joking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shen Manbing did not look relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xia Yangyang had put down her chopsticks: “Gu Qichen, I am not joking with you. If you still refuse to sign the divorce agreement, I will file a lawsuit tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if you defend yourself or not in court. Once I get the divorce judgment, it doesn’t matter whether you sign it or not, whether we have a divorce certificate or not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Gu Qichen slammed his chopsticks down: “Go ahead and sue. Let’s see if any lawyer will take your divorce case and if the divorce order will be given.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qichen sneered, “You can forget about it in this lifetime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever this topic came up, they could never reach an agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang was furious: “Gu Qichen, do you think this is entertaining?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I find it particularly amusing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re simply being unreasonable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s good that you know. From now on, better not mention the word ‘divorce’. It’s not up for discussion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yangyang stood up and left the dining room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Manbing and Shen Shichuan exchanged glances, then followed her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qichen was also upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shichuan opened a bottle of wine and poured it for Gu Qichen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving it a second glance, Gu Qichen swallowed it in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shichuan said, “That’s a ’92 Eagle Winery cabernet sauvignon, and you just guzzled it. I feel it’s quite a waste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qichen coldly retorted, “Don’t forget who brought this wine here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shichuan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was truly at the end of his tether, even nitpicking over a casual remark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shichuan continued pouring wine: “Why don’t you tell her that you founded Xinli Media? That you’re the one who stepped in to help when Starlight was facing a crisis? You provided the money and the effort, yet I took all the credit. If Yangyang knew you were the one who’s been helping her behind the scenes, she might be touched.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qichen sighed: “If she knew it was me, she would probably prefer Starlight to go bankrupt rather than accept my help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shichuan furrowed his brow: “Actually, I’ve been meaning to ask you, what exactly happened between you two that made things like this? Is there really no way out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qichen sighed again, but chose not to reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was unwilling to bring up the past related to his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it had already been ten years since that incident, it was still a major stumbling block in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, things were not going well with Gu Mingzhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was melancholic all day and often advised him to get a divorce too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Let’s just drink,” Gu Qichen sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Shichuan also felt helpless: “It really would’ve been much easier if you have a child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men’s eyes lit up, exchanging a knowing look.\u003C\u002Fp>",789,"2026-06-02T11:18:11.232Z",1,"novelbin.me","db65c0d2645137b224b482c281c1c2fc2df4ef2df76b7e29a6b4efab78046e95","mr-gu-s-first-doting-marriage-chapter-452","mr-gu-s-first-doting-marriage-chapter-50",2419,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmr-gu-s-first-doting-marriage-cover.jpg"]
