Chapter 81: Divorce is my selfish decision
Xu Qingqing blinked at Kong Nanzhu expectantly. Kong Nanzhu was of course willing, but he said sarcastically, "You really can't live without him for even a day."
Ever since Xu Qingqing started dating, Kong Nanzhu felt that they rarely saw each other. The sisters who used to be inseparable would always meet less often once one of them became single.
But after she and Qin Qi fell in love, this situation did not seem to happen. After all, Qin Qi was so busy that he had no time to date her at all.
Song Linyuan rolled up his sleeves and insisted on showing off the cooking skills he had acquired while living alone abroad. Xu Qingqing was happy to help the handsome guy. Kong Nanzhu also wanted to help but was pushed away by Xu Qingqing.
"Hurry up and put on some makeup. You will definitely be photographed later. You can't appear in front of the camera with such a sallow face, right? Please, this beauty blogger, pay attention to your job."
Kong Nanzhu stood in front of the makeup mirror and looked at herself. It seemed that her skin condition was indeed very bad recently, and the area of her dark circles had expanded a lot. She looked like a dehydrated eggplant and looked listless.
Fortunately, Xu Qingqing helped her remove her makeup last night, otherwise if she slept with makeup on all night, she wouldn’t know how many acne breakouts she would have on her face.
Upon learning that it was Kong Nanzhu's birthday, Pan Yue brought a gift when he came. Although it was obviously prepared on the way here, Kong Nanzhu was still very happy to receive the gift.
"This is GM's newest pair of sunglasses this year." Xu Qingqing leaned over to take a look. "They look pretty good. I've seen many people recommend them online."
Pan Yue was still as bright as the sun, with a bright smile on her face and her pink hair still shining. "I knew you would like it, so I bought it for you too. I put it in the car."
Xu Qingqing was wearing an apron. She opened her arms and hugged Pan Yue. She leaned over and kissed him on the face, "You are so nice!"
Kong Nanzhu and Song Linyuan showed disgusted expressions at the same time, "Please restrain yourself, both of you."
Kong Nanzhu: "Please both of you understand the feelings of a lonely woman who is about to get divorced. I just want to eat cake, not dog food."
Song Linyuan took the opportunity to put his arm around Kong Nanzhu's shoulders, still holding a spatula in his hand, "You can think of me as your new boyfriend. For your birthday, I will lend myself to you for a day for free."
Kong Nanzhu's back stiffened slightly, and he quickly got out from under Song Linyuan's arm. "You'd better go check your ribs. I smell a burnt smell."
"Fuck!"
Half an hour later, a table full of delicious dishes was placed on the table. Except for the slightly blackened ribs in the middle, the other dishes looked quite good.
Xu Qingqing gave Song Linyuan a thumbs up: "Very impressive, you are good at both housework and cooking."
Pan Yue said unhappily, "I can cook, and my cooking is delicious, why don't you praise me?"
Kong Nanzhu suggested opening a bottle of red wine, but Song Linyuan was the first to stop him, saying, "Forget it. I won't let you drink again. I have a trauma."
He vividly recounted what happened in the car last night, and Kong Nanzhu's face turned red from the tip of his nose to the roots of his ears.
Being drunk and acting crazy is not scary.
The scary thing is that after you sober up, someone helps you recall the past.
In the past year, Kong Nanzhu had only gotten drunk twice, and both times she was with Song Linyuan. Even if Song Linyuan didn't say anything, she didn't plan to drink with him again.
I have only so much face left, and I've lost it all.
The meal started at a time that was not considered lunch time, and by the time it ended, the sun was about to set. Kong Nanzhu thought Xu Qingqing was already very noisy, but unexpectedly Pan Yue was even more noisy than her. The two of them were like a modern talk show that was being played in turns, each one more talkative than the other, making Kong Nanzhu laugh.
Song Linyuan also took the initiative to share a lot of the latest gossip in the entertainment industry. Xu Qingqing pricked up her ears and almost took out a notebook to write it down.
Kong Nanzhu didn't want the happy time to end like this. After they left, she was left alone at home. She had already fallen in love with the feeling of having company and didn't want to return to the emptiness, so she turned on the live broadcast and asked them to stay a little longer and play together.
Some fans saw Song Linyuan appear at Kong Nanzhu's house to celebrate her birthday, and they lined up excitedly to refresh the screen.
【Double chefs are delighted!!】
[Ahhh, Mr. Chuang came specially to celebrate our sister's birthday. He must be a very good friend in real life! ]
Some fans also raised a question: "Gui Jie, on your birthday, didn't your husband come home to accompany you ?"
When Kong Nanzhu saw this comment, he was in a trance for a moment. Xu Qingqing also noticed this comment with her sharp eyes. Just as she was about to say something to divert Kong Nanzhu's attention, she heard Kong Nanzhu calmly say, "I'm about to get a divorce. I haven't completed the formalities yet. I'm currently separated."
One stone stirs up a thousand ripples, and the barrage of comments exploded again.
Kong Nanzhu patiently explained: "Thank you for your continued attention and concern for me. There is no cheating, no third party involved, it's just that we are not suitable. We have been apart for too long, and both of us are busy with our careers and have no energy to manage our relationship. It's a pity, but I think this is the best choice for both of us at the moment."
After thinking for a while, Kong Nanzhu added, "Both parties are responsible, but the main responsibility lies with me. I spent too much time focusing on work, which affected our family life. I was too selfish."
There were fans in the live broadcast room as well as passers-by who clicked in for the first time because of the popularity. Many people mocked Kong Nanzhu's "uncaring" behavior.
Most people support her in following her heart, but some criticize her for being irresponsible in her relationship.
Xu Qingqing pouted in dissatisfaction, and Song Linyuan also frowned off-camera.
They all knew why Kong Nanzhu said that.
This silly woman, even if she was going to get divorced, would still think about Qin Qi. Even though no one in the outside world knew that they were husband and wife, Kong Nanzhu was still afraid of leaving any negative information about Qin Qi on the Internet.
Song Linyuan deliberately took out his gift during the live broadcast.
A pearl bracelet.
"It's not a valuable thing, but I think it suits you very well. Sister Nanzhu, please don't despise it."
Song Linyuan put it on her hand. Kong Nanzhu raised her hand and looked at it under the lamp. It was just the right size.
"I love so much."
Amidst the laughter and joy, the heavy topic of divorce was gradually diluted. At this moment, Qin Qi was curled up on the sofa in Lihua Garden, smoking a cigarette. While listening to Kong Nanzhu's familiar and gentle voice on the live broadcast, he picked up the pen on the table with trembling fingers and signed the divorce agreement that he had crumpled and folded countless times.
