CHAPTER 202: CHAPTER 202 SIGNING

Gu Yi only glanced at Ye Hao once when he entered the door.

Afterward, she sat at the table waiting for him.

Ye Hao stood in front of Gu Yi, looking at the divorce agreement on the table.

He suddenly felt as if there was a hole in his heart.

It was particularly painful, yet he didn’t know what to do.

Gu Yi waited for a long time, but Ye Hao didn’t say a word.

"Take a look, and if there’s no problem, just sign it. I’ll talk to the elders."

Gu Yi pushed the agreement towards Ye Hao.

"Sign it. Once you sign, you’ll be free."

"Don’t sign, you’ll regret it if you do."

At this moment, Ye Hao simultaneously heard two voices in his head, piercing his mind with a throbbing pain.

He moved his gaze away from the agreement and turned to Gu Yi.

He wanted to see what her expression was at the moment.

Gu Yi happened to be looking up at him too.

In Gu Yi’s eyes, Ye Hao found no sign of sorrow.

Did she also feel that signing it would be a relief?

This realization made Ye Hao very uncomfortable.

Although he thought he was being somewhat inexplicable.

But he just felt down, like there was a trapped beast inside him wanting to escape.

"Sign it, I still need to catch a bus to the city."

Gu Yi spoke expressionlessly, but only she knew how much strength it took to suppress her urge to cry.

"Then I won’t waste your time."

Without looking at what was written, Ye Hao signed the agreement straight away after hearing Gu Yi’s words.

"This comes in two copies, you keep one. Whenever you have time, we can go and complete the formalities."

Gu Yi carefully folded her copy and put it in her bag.

"I just started a new job here, so I probably won’t have time to go back for a while."

Ye Hao directly stated.

"It’s fine, I’m not in a hurry. Whenever you are, you can find me at the school."

Gu Yi thought to herself that the day he wanted to marry Yang Lin, he’d see how urgent this would become.

But now Gu Yi felt that there was no point in saying it anymore.

After all, it had always been their own reasons.

Ye Hao suddenly felt as if he had lost something very precious.

He quietly listened to Gu Yi without responding to her.

Gu Yi thought Ye Hao didn’t want to talk to her and turned to look around the room.

"There are still some of my things in here; whenever you have the time, please throw them out for me."

Gu Yi picked up her suitcase and walked straight out the door.

After the door closed, Gu Yi could no longer hold back her tears.

She covered her mouth, afraid that Ye Hao would hear her.

She wiped away her tears with her hand and headed to where she could catch the bus with her suitcase.

It wasn’t the weekend today, so there weren’t many people on the bus.

Gu Yi found a seat by the window and sat down.

As the bus began to move, the outside scenery got farther and farther from her.

Gu Yi’s tears began to fall again.

Perhaps this was the path she should have taken after her rebirth, only a few years late.

When Gu Yi came back to her senses, she noticed a stinging pain in her palm.

She opened her hand, realizing that while talking to Ye Hao earlier, she had clenched it tightly.

Her palm was covered in nail marks; the salty tears made that taste absolutely sour and biting.

And Ye Hao, at home, after Gu Yi left.

Felt as if his heart was empty.

He didn’t know what to do next.

He just sat blankly at the table, looking at Gu Yi’s signature on the divorce agreement.

"Gu Yi."

He murmured softly to himself.

After arriving in B City, Gu Yi didn’t take the suitcase to her current home.

Instead, she took it directly to the new place she bought.

After putting her things away, she went to Ye’s mother.

Before going, she took the signed divorce agreement with Ye Hao with her.

"Yiyi, why are you back now?"

Ye’s mother seemed a bit surprised to see Gu Yi.

Yesterday, Gu Yi had said she wouldn’t be home for lunch, but it was Friday, and she should have been in class at this time.

Why did Gu Yi come back?

"I have something to do today, so I took a day off."

Gu Yi said with a smile.

"Oh, it’s hot outside, go take a shower and get some rest."

Ye’s mother didn’t press Gu Yi much about her whereabouts.

After all, Gu Yi always had her reasons for whatever she did.

"Okay, Mom, I’d like to eat your braised pork; can you make it tonight?"

Gu Yi agreed with a smile and made a request.

"Sure, it’s not a problem at all. You take a nap, and I’ll go buy the meat now."

Ye’s mother said as she went to her room to get some money to buy the meat.

She thought about how Gu Yi hadn’t had much of an appetite lately, so since she finally craved something, she must make it happen today.

Ye’s mother happily left the house.

Gu Yi watched the door close and could barely hold herself together again.

She quickly returned to the room, found the large suitcase her sister-in-law had bought, and packed all her clothes and belongings inside.

She also took a set of bed sheets and covers from the room.

Once everything was packed, she tried lifting the suitcase. It was too heavy for her to manage alone, especially now that she was expecting a baby; she didn’t dare to handle such heavy things.

While Ye’s mother was in the kitchen, she quickly went to the living room to call Li Yitian.

Asking him to come later to help move her things after dinner.

"Mom’s braised pork is still the best, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to have it anymore."

After everyone finished eating, Gu Yi suddenly made this remark.

"What kind of talk is that? If you want to eat, just tell Mom; she’ll surely cook it for you."

Ye’s mother found Gu Yi’s words a bit strange, but she only assumed it was a slip of the tongue.

So she responded with a smile.

"Dad, Mom, Qianqian, actually, there’s something I’d like to tell you all."

The three members of the Ye family, hearing Gu Yi’s tone, put down what they were doing and sat on the sofa.

"Sister-in-law, what is it you want to tell us that makes it all so serious?"

Ye Qian sat next to Gu Yi, pulling on her arm with a smile.

She just wanted to lighten the mood.

"Ye Hao and I have gotten divorced, so I wanted to thank you all for taking care of me all this time. From today onward, I’m moving out; this place and the house back in our hometown will both be yours."

As soon as Gu Yi finished speaking, the three members of the Ye family were stunned.

"Sister-in-law, are you joking?"

Ye Qian said, tears starting to fall.

Inside, though, she knew it was true because her sister-in-law wouldn’t joke about something like this.

"Don’t cry, Qianqian. I’ve already made up my mind. The house in our hometown is for Mom and Dad, and this apartment is my gift to you for your wedding. Sun Ming is great, you should live well with him."

As Gu Yi spoke, her voice also began to tremble.

"I don’t want it, Sister-in-law, I don’t want anything. I just want you and my brother to be well."

Ye Qian hugged Gu Yi’s arm even tighter.

"Yiyi, did Hao say something or do anything to upset you? Just tell me, and I’ll go beat him up to vent your anger. But divorce is a big deal; you two need to think it over carefully."

Ye Fu also wanted to quickly change Gu Yi’s mind.

"Yes, Yiyi, we’ll go talk to him. Don’t be upset with him anymore, okay?"

Ye’s mother also cautiously added.

"Dad, Mom, Qianqian, thank you, but our divorce agreement has been signed, and this matter is settled. I don’t want to change anything anymore."

Gu Yi handed the divorce agreement signed by her and Ye Hao to Ye Family’s parents.
