The man in front of the walnut desk frowned slightly, with an air of nobility and sharpness, his slender fingers resting on the bridge of his nose, as if encountering some difficulty.

I approached and placed a thick folder on the desk. He looked up at me, his expression somewhat indifferent: "Madam, what do you need to consult?"

"I need you to help me with a divorce and fight for the best interests."

His eyes showed some interest, he leaned back and opened my folder.

After a long time, he frowned and asked, "Your name is Lu Chuxiao?"

I nodded, and he gently closed the folder, nodding thoughtfully.

"Anything else you have as evidence, give it to me, this is my WeChat."

He pulled up his WeChat QR code for me.

His change in attitude left me a little confused.

On the way back, his chat box lit up, and I opened it.

"This is my number, you can call me if you need anything. "

I was a little curious, but I still saved his number.

All day today, Gu Jinan did not look for me.

I know that he is still waiting for me to reconcile as before.

The first post in the circle of friends was from Shen Nianxiao.

"I'll be obedient, as long as you don't leave..."

The accompanying picture was of her arm draped in his coat.

It seems that she has been scolded by Gu Jinan.

She thinks she understands Gu Jinan and is gradually breaking into his forbidden zone.

But what Gu Jinan hates most is crossing his bottom line.

He can be with her outside, he can support her, he can love her, but for now, his family is still a bottom line that she cannot touch.

If he wanted a divorce, he would have told me long ago, without the need for secrecy until now.

Back home, I found that hexagonal star bracelet in the box, the first gift he gave me when we got together, spending all his savings.

Tomorrow is my birthday, but he has booked a birthday banquet for her in the most expensive private room in the city.

The much-anticipated day has finally arrived.

Gu Jinan still had no news at all.

I put on that bracelet, the sparkle of the diamonds still shimmering, but our love had long since vanished, perhaps he never loved me at all.

The late autumn night was really cold. I walked upstairs in canvas shoes.

The private room was lively, everyone was chatting and laughing.

"Ange, where's sister-in-law? Why isn't she here? It's her special day today."

After a long time, Gu Jinan's impatient voice rang out: "Lu Chuxiao, I'm damn sick of you."

His voice wasn't loud, but amidst the chaos, every word landed in my ears.

My heart felt an unexpected pang, I thought I was immune by now.

I clenched my fist, pushed open the door of the private room.

Everyone looked at me, somewhat uneasy, all stuttering, "Sister-in-law..."

Some of them were trying to make excuses for him.

"Sister-in-law, this is my colleague. We are celebrating her birthday."

Shen Nianxiao looked at me innocently, but the smile at the corner of her mouth gave her away.

Only Gu Jinan leaned back on the sofa chair, took a deep drag on his cigarette.

I walked up to him and said softly, "Gu Jinan, today is also my birthday."

He straightened up, forcefully extinguished the spark, frowned and said coldly, "Don't get in the way of her making a wish."

With these words, Shen Nianxiao became even more smug, she clung to Gu Jinan's arm, coquettishly saying, "An, don't say that. Today is also Chuxiao's birthday."

Gu Jinan still didn't respond, pulled his arm away, and replied indifferently, "You make a wish first."

Shen Nianxiao looked at me provocatively, lowered her head and made a wish.

I picked up a glass of red wine from the table, approached, and poured it over her head, the purple-red liquid trickling down her sleek hair.

Soon, her coquettish crying spread through the private room.

"Lu Chuxiao! Stop it!" Gu Jinan said sternly, forcefully grasping my wrist.

"What? Feeling sorry now?"

He looked at me for a long time, pushed my hand away, turned and took off his coat to wrap it around her.

"On your birthday, you should have some wine."

After speaking, I didn't look at them again, and left on my own.

The late autumn night was really cold, but at this moment, I felt unusually carefree.

I had only wanted to take a look inside, but when I saw Shen Nianxiao looking so deserving of a beating, I couldn't help myself.

But I was sure that Gu Jinan would come back tonight.

He had never seen me like this, his gentle kitten was standing up to him, he was definitely going to come back and take a look.
