Gu Wenze stiffened and slowly looked up at You Xiaonian. "What did you say? I like Qiao Hua?"
"What else could it be? If you didn't like her, would you be this anxious over her disappearance?" You Xiaonian said casually. "If it were me, I'd be popping champagne to celebrate."
Gu Wenze's mind was in turmoil.
How could I possibly like Qiao Hua?
Jiang Nan had always been the only woman he loved. Qiao Hua had schemed her way into marrying him. He could barely stand her, so how could he have fallen for her?
Besides, he was anxious because they had been married for three years. Even someone who kept an animal for that long would grow attached to it, let alone another person.
And Qiao Hua was carrying his child.
Gu Wenze reassured himself, as though those reasons had genuinely convinced him.
Gu Wenze frowned. "You're overthinking it. I couldn't possibly like her."
You Xiaonian shrugged. "If you don't like her, isn't it better that she's gone? Haven't you wanted to divorce her all this time? Now here's your chance."
Gu Wenze tightened his grip on his wineglass, recalling what Yan Yu had said that night.
If he really divorced Qiao Hua, Yan Yu would definitely seize the opportunity to move in.
Even if he didn't want something, no one else was allowed to take it.
Gu Wenze nearly crushed the wineglass in his hand. "It's not time yet. I'll decide once I've dragged her back."
Watching Gu Wenze's distracted expression, You Xiaonian frowned, unable to shake a sense of unease.
Early the next morning, a ringing phone woke Qiao Hua.
Qiao Hua answered groggily, and Yan Yu's voice came through the phone. "Qiao Hua, it's me."
Qiao Hua was puzzled. Why was Yan Yu calling her so
