The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship

When she uttered the name "Xiaoyu," a flicker of confusion passed through Mu Shuoqian’s eyes, as if he was quite curious how she knew this person.

Gu Qili lowered her head, her voice almost sinking into the dust: "I know her ah, you often call her name when you are drunk, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu..."

Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu.

Mumbling, Gu Qili couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Mu Shuoqian stared at her continuously flowing tears, his own eyes beginning to redden, a clear shimmer of moisture slowly emerging.

He raised his head, looking forcefully at the ceiling, struggling to suppress the tears that were about to flow.

Xiaoyu, ah, the character he once fabricated in order to get closer to her without her noticing, ironically became the reason he had to push her away one day, how ironic.

He remembered two years ago, when he accidentally found out from the lawyer that Gu Dezhong left three percent of the shares to Gu Qili, and anyone who wanted to get these shares had to marry Gu Qili and stop pursuing the Gu Family any further.

At this point, things should have been perfect; he had traded for her freedom.

But upon seeing that will, he couldn’t resist its temptation; he thought, just two years, only two years, and he promised that these two years would not change her future life. She only needed to be his wife in name, and not a stranger drifting away from him.

In the first year, she still lived at the school and almost had no interactions with him, only symbolically appearing during Mu Family gatherings, like an actor playing her role. Once the role of the day was done, she would return to her ordinary life.

Meanwhile, he watched over her silently from where she could not see him, caring about her.
