Chapter 1088: The Flash Marriage Heiress (72)

Gu Ye did not return that night.

Since he had informed everyone beforehand that the gathering might last until dawn, apart from Tang Guo, who knew the truth, neither Mother Luo nor Elder Sister Luo thought anything was unusual.

The next morning, Luo Yicheng and Qian Beibei woke up inside the car. Looking at one another, they recalled the madness of the previous night.

Now that things had come to this, Luo Yicheng wrapped his arms around Qian Beibei and said, “I'll bring up the divorce with Xiaoguo as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

Leaning against his chest, Qian Beibei murmured, “Yicheng, I'm finally going to be with you. I've waited a very long time for this day.” Thinking back to the Luo Yicheng from last night, she understood even more clearly that his relationship with Tang Guo had truly remained pure in name only, wrapped merely in the shell of marriage.

If he hadn't loved her so deeply, how could Luo Yicheng have kept himself for her all these years?

From beginning to end, there had only ever been one woman in Luo Yicheng's heart—Qian Beibei.

“I'll take you home.”

Qian Beibei shook her head. “Just take me back to the apartment I'm renting. If my mother sees us, she'll definitely spread the news everywhere. Once you've divorced, then you can come home with me.”

“Alright.” Luo Yicheng nodded. “That's true. If Xiaoguo found out, she'd be heartbroken.”

Thinking about what had happened last night, he felt both sweetness and a trace of regret. Since things had already happened, the only thing left was to settle everything as quickly as possible.

Hearing him worry about Tang Guo's feelings, Qian Beibei felt a little uncomfortable. Still, she didn't reveal it. After all, Yicheng would soon return to her side.

“Then talk properly with Miss Tang. Since there's no love between you, separating would be good for her too. I hope she'll fulfill our wish.”

“Xiaoguo has always been considerate. She'll agree.”

Listening to him praise another woman made Qian Beibei extremely uncomfortable. She pushed Luo Yicheng away. “Take me home first. Settle everything as soon as possible.”

“Mm.”

After dropping Qian Beibei off at her apartment, Luo Yicheng headed straight to the company.

Everything had happened too suddenly the previous night. Faced with Qian Beibei, he simply couldn't control himself.

Originally, he had intended to wait until after the divorce before getting back together with her. He never expected that unexpected incident would lead to this outcome.

He didn't regret it. He only felt somewhat sorry toward Tang Guo.

Moreover, he still didn't know how to bring it up.

At noon, Aunt Xu came to deliver lunch as usual, bringing along Tang Guo's concerned words as she always did. Eating the meal, Luo Yicheng found himself unable to enjoy it.

What he didn't know was that over the past three years, all those messages supposedly from Tang Guo had actually been made up by Aunt Xu herself.

The mistress of the house was such a wonderful person that Aunt Xu naturally wanted to say more nice things, hoping the two masters of the household would become closer and closer.

Ever since Tang Guo had hired her, she had devoted herself wholeheartedly to her work.

Truthfully, after serving many families, she had never worked anywhere as comfortably as she did here. The pay was high, there were holidays, and everyone in the household treated her politely. After moving into the villa, they had even given her a room to save her time and raised her salary again.

In her heart, she wished for the family to prosper more and more.

As long as she remained capable of working and the owners didn't dislike her, she would gladly stay here for the rest of her life.

After getting off work that evening, Luo Yicheng had already prepared himself to tell Tang Guo everything.

Yet the moment he walked in, he saw Tang Guo chatting and laughing happily with Mother Luo and Elder Sister Luo. The harmonious atmosphere before him made him swallow the words he had intended to say.

He would find another opportunity.

If he blurted it out now, his mother would probably chase him around with a broom.

“Yicheng, when you go out to gatherings in the future, remember to come home. Even if you're drunk, you can always have the driver pick you up.”
