"It’s just that the research in the second phase isn’t going very well, not sure how long we can hold on. If it fails, we’ll have to start from scratch. And in the third phase, if there’s no chance to imdiately give this big gift to him, it’ll be all for nothing. So, I really don’t know what to do now."
Arthur had a sudden idea, feeling very clever.
"Really?" Lu Wanwan asked suspiciously.
She had just woken up and was still a bit groggy.
She ca over when she heard voices but didn’t know what they were talking about.
"If it’s not true, what else do you think it could be?" Arthur felt he had successfully bluffed Lu Wanwan. "By the way, Wanwan, I’ve got an idea for you. Since you’re not getting divorced, make sure to get the signed divorce agreent back as soon as possible, understand?"
Gu Annan looked at Arthur speechlessly.
The way he was joking was so pathetic.
"If you think the terms are okay, keep it with you; you might need it soday. If you’re not satisfied, destroy it early to avoid any future problems."
Lu Wanwan didn’t really care about the divorce agreent, but she focused on Arthur saying they weren’t divorcing.
She felt like yesterday had been a dream.
Her misty eyes looked at Gu Annan, recalling bits and pieces from yesterday.
She really didn’t want to mislead him again, otherwise, she couldn’t even look him in the eye.
If she didn’t speak up for a day, this issue would always be on her mind.
So she prepared herself to tell the truth and solve all their problems at once.
Who knew she wouldn’t be t with Gu Annan’s insistence on divorce?
Instead, he took back all his previous words.
He wanted a divorce when he was unsure. But after he found out she’d really been humiliated, he started treating her well again.
If Gu Annan hadn’t said it was because of a strategy against Xiao Ye, she would have thought sothing was wrong with him.
"Why not divorce?" Lu Wanwan walked in, asking curiously.
Gu Annan’s voice was cold, "What, do you really want a divorce?"
The slightly threatening words didn’t upset her; instead, she felt cared for by him.
"Didn’t you say the divorce was a strategy against Xiao Ye before?" She placed her hands in the pockets of her oversized clothes, her eyes still a bit swollen from yesterday, calmly saying, "If you have a solution, you can keep going. We can pretend to be divorced first..."
Gu Annan frowned, "I said we’re not divorcing, so we’re not."
Lu Wanwan was a bit speechless. Couldn’t she even cooperate with him?
"Your eyes are swollen." He reached out, gently sliding his fingertip over them.
"Yeah." She nodded, "I just noticed it too."
"You noticed and just ca over like this?" Gu Annan led her outside, "Let’s get an ice pack, apply it for a bit."
Arthur felt he was quickly left behind and imdiately cleared his throat, "She can solve this herself, can’t she, Gu Annan? How about we discuss sothing else?"
"Don’t waste my ti, you can leave now." Gu Annan didn’t even turn his head.
Arthur shook his head, his serious business being treated as a waste of ti.
This guy, finding divorce infeasible, turned into a doting husband.

"So cold." After breakfast, Lu Wanwan was forced to lie down, applying an ice pack to the corner of her eyes.
"Is it too cold?" Gu Annan imdiately took the ice pack away, wrapping it in several layers of tissue.
"It’s fine, it’s fine." She thought he was being too cautious, "But if it’s not cold, it won’t work. Just leave it like this."
He softly muttered two words, "Troubleso." Then placed it back for her.
