Chapter 1155. Knot (1)
Her calm voice gradually floated away with the cool breeze amidst the mountains. It was silent for a long while, yet he did not answer.
Xi Xiaye looked at him with her bright eyes for a long while, but his gaze only remained on the burning flames. She thought about it, then slowly reached out to gently put her hand on his. The answer was abundantly clear.
After some time, he said softly, “Doris has already gotten a lawyer to write up the divorce papers. As expected, Gu Qiwu rejected it. Right now, she’s probably gathering evidence to submit to the court.”
