A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 1058 Don’t Be Afraid, I’ll Give You A Home (2)

Divorce.

The word, like a bomb, exploded in Xiao Yunyun’s brain.

In her impression, Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan had never had any quarrels.

She took it for granted that her parents loved each other better than anyone else, which she was once so proud of.

When she was a student, she had confidently told her classmates that her parents loved each other so much that they would never have any disputes over anything.

It was not until the “brother-sister love” between Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan spread that in order to quell the netizens’ attacks on them, Su Yunjin had to announce to the media that Xiao Yunyun was adopted.

The news shocked Xiao Yunyun a lot.

But since then, she and Shen Yuechuan could justify their relationship.

Xiao Yunyun had to, though it was a little embarrassing, admit that this made her easily accept that she was not Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan’s biological daughter.

However, she did not expect that Su Yunjin then said her marriage to Xiao Guoshan was only an agreement and they didn’t actually love each other.

At that moment, Xiao Yunyun felt as if she was struck by lightning—

Her parents seemed to be in love just because they treated each other as friends and respected each other like guests.

It was not true love between them.

It could not be denied that Xiao Yunyun couldn’t accept this fact.

But after knowing how it felt to be in love, she didn’t doubt Su Yunjin’s words at all when she recalled the way Xiao Guoshan and Su Yunjin got along with each other.

Dating Shen Yuechuan made her realize that no matter how much two people loved each other, frictions were inevitable.

But she could not recall anything intimate that had taken place between Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan.

They were the best business partners who could fight side by side, but they were not the love of each other’s life.

Not everyone would fall in love as time went by.

Xiao Yunyun couldn’t do anything about it. She couldn’t create love between Xiao Guoshan and Su Yunjin. She could only accept the fact.

Xiao Yunyun thought that Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan would spend the rest of their lives like this as they had gotten used to this arrangement.

But now, Xiao Guoshan suddenly told her that he and Su Yunjin had decided to get a divorce...

Xiao Yunyun had spent over 20 years in country D and had long been used to living with her parents in that house.

Even though she was no longer in country D, she knew that no matter what happened, she had a home there when she went back. That home was a haven to her.

However, her home would be gone once Xiao Guoshan and Su Yunjin got divorced, which would destroy the good memories of her childhood.

She refused to accept such a change.

Xiao Guoshan knew that it was difficult for Xiao Yunyun to accept the fact, so he had discussed it with Su Yunjin for a long time.

They finally decided to divorce because Xiao Yunyun had grown up.

Such a decision broke their agreement and they were unable to turn back.

Xiao Yunyun had to accept it.

Xiao Guoshan gently held Xiao Yunyun’s shoulder with one hand and said apologetically, “Yunyun, I apologize to you.”

Xiao Yunyun looked at Xiao Guoshan and tried her best to hold back her tears. But in the end, she burst out crying.

She shook her head and begged, “Dad, don’t...”

Xiao Guoshan hugged Xiao Yunyun and sighed. “Yunyun, your mom and I made this decision after careful consideration. We had no choice but to set aside your feelings. We hope you can forgive us.”

Xiao Yunyun couldn’t speak. She plunged into Xiao Guoshan’s arms and cried louder.

Emotionally, she didn’t want their marriage to end in divorce, but rationally, she knew she couldn’t be so selfish.

Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan had signed the marriage agreement for so many years. If they could breed love, they would have forgotten that agreement and given their hearts to each other.

However, both of them could not forget the people they had really loved.

Now that Xiao Yunyun had grown up, it was selfish to force them to be together for her sake.

Most importantly, she understood that Xiao Guoshan and Su Yunjin would not be happy if they tried to maintain a conjugal relationship.

Xiao Yunyun calmed down and wiped away her tears. She looked at Xiao Guoshan and said, “Dad, I won’t blame you.”

Xiao Guoshan knew that Xiao Yunyun couldn’t accept it so readily. She said that just to make him feel better.

For a moment, Xiao Guoshan didn’t know what to say.

“Dad, if it weren’t for me, would you and Mom... have divorced long ago?” Xiao asked slowly. Her voice had returned to normal.

There was one more thing she recognized after dating Shen Yuechuan—true friendship hardly existed between a man and a woman, unless one person concealed his or her feelings and the other one played dumb.

Similarly, people could not pretend to be real husbands and wives if they just treated each other as a friend.

20 years ago when Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan had settled their own problems, they had already thought of a divorce, hadn’t they?

If they hadn’t adopted her, they wouldn’t have maintained that family life and lived in the same house for so long.

Now that she had grown up and was about to get married, she should free the parents who had raised her.

Not expecting that Xiao Yunyun would be so spot on, Xiao Guoshan just smiled and said nothing.

Both Su Yunjin and he had tried their best. If possible, they were willing to live like this for the rest of their lives.

Unfortunately, the people they loved before their marriage had left indelible marks in their hearts. No matter how hard they had tried to be a real couple, they found that friendship was a more comfortable relationship for them.

They maintained conjugal relations just to let Xiao Yunyun grow up in a complete family environment. If not, they would have separated a long time ago.

Xiao Yunyun understood her father’s smile. She nodded and said, “Dad, I respect your decision. I... won’t blame you.”

Xiao Guoshan patted his daughter gently on the shoulder and said, “Yunyun, the only thing I can do is to apologize to you.”

“Dad, you don’t have to apologize,” Xiao Yunyun shook her head and said in a tearful voice with a smile. “You’ve done enough for me in my life. You and mom should live the life you want.”

Xiao Guoshan couldn’t help laughing. “I heard people say love makes a person grow up. It’s true. You’ve become thoughtful now.”

Xiao Yunyun also smiled. She stood on tiptoe and vowed, “Dad, don’t worry. I will take good care of myself in the future, and I will be happy!”

“Sure.” Xiao Guoshan nodded. “I believe you can.”

Xiao Yunyun held Xiao Guoshan’s hand and said, “Would you like to go somewhere else?”

“No.” Xiao Guoshan patted Xiao Yunyun’s hand. “I know you are in a hurry to go back to accompany Yuechuan. I won’t take up your time.”

Xiao Yunyun was very embarrassed, but she had to admit that her father was right.

Xiao Guoshan beckoned the driver over and ordered, “We’re going back. Please send Yunyun back to the apartment first.”

“No problem.” The driver opened the door. “Mr. Xiao, Miss Xiao, please get in the car.”

Shen Yuechuan’s apartment was not far away. They arrived in less than ten minutes.

Xiao Yunyun jumped nimbly out of the car. She turned around and saw Xiao Guoshan smiling at her.

She waved at Xiao Guoshan and smiled sweetly, “Dad, see you tomorrow.”

“I didn’t want your wedding to come so soon. But look how happy you are! Maybe it is indeed a suitable time. ” Xiao Guoshan motioned for Xiao Yunyun to go inside. “Go. I’ll return to the hotel.”

“Okay!”

Xiao Yunyun agreed happily. She turned around and rushed into the apartment.

The security guard knew Xiao Yunyun. Seeing her, he told her with a smile, “Mr. Shen is already back.”

“I know!” Xiao Yunyun rushed into the elevator and pressed the button quickly to close the elevator door. “Thank you!” she,said smilingly.

The elevator soon took her to the top floor.

Xiao Yunyun rushed out of the elevator to the apartment. Not seeing Shen Yuechuan in the living room, she instinctively ran into the bedroom.

She was right. Shen Yuechuan was lying in bed with his eyes closed. Apparently, he was sleeping.

Maybe he was disturbed by Xiao Yunyun’s movements, Shen Yuechuan opened his eyes and found her there.

Like a child, Xiao Yunyun threw herself on Shen Yuechuan and looked at him with bright eyes, shouting, “I’m back!”

Shen Yuechuan stroked Xiao Yunyun’s hair and said in a hoarse and gentle voice, “I know.” After a pause, he asked in confusion, “What makes you so happy?”

“I have good news to tell you!” Xiao Yunyun couldn’t wait for Shen Yuechuan to ask and said directly, “My father said you passed his test! Are you excited?”

“Of course I am.” Though he said this, Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun intently. After a while, he suddenly asked, “But, Yunyun, are you really happy? Is there anything else you haven’t told me?”

Xiao Yunyun’s eyelids quivered. She quickly looked away without saying anything.

Shen Yuechuan realized that something was wrong. He sat up, looked at Xiao Yunyun and asked in a soothing and encouraging voice, “What happened when you went out with your father? Don’t cry. Tell me.”

Xiao Yunyun tried her best to suppress her emotions, but tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at Shen Yuechuan and said sadly, “My father and mother... have decided to get a divorce.”

Shen Yuechuan was surprised. He held Xiao Yunyun in his arms and hugged her tightly in a protective way.

Being with Xiao Yunyun for such a long time, what he heard most from her were stories about her parents.

He knew how important the family Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan built was to Xiao Yunyun.

If they got divorced, that family... would not be complete anymore.

How could he comfort Xiao Yunyun?
