Gu Zhiyan looked at Shen Zhenghao in disbelief, her eyes carrying a look of condescending pity.
Only Shen Zhenghao could be so shameless and yet speak with such righteous indignation.
They had been divorced for so many years, and he was already with his true love. Now, he had the audacity to tell his ex-wife that he was afraid she would be deceived by another man.
Hah... as if he were the only good man in the world.
He was clearly a blind, scummy man.
Gu Zhiyan sneered, "Don't forget, you are my ex-husband. You have no right to care about me, and I don't need your insincere concern. Furthermore, who I am with is my own freedom. To be honest, it was only after being with Xie Luofeng that I experienced true happiness."
Gu Zhiyan's words implied that she had never been happy when she was with Shen Zhenghao.
This was direct enough to make Shen Zhenghao's face turn pale with anger.
He lashed out in fury, "You think Xie Luofeng is such a good person? He had his eye on you when we were married. He's been coveting you for years, just waiting for us to divorce so he could swoop in."
Gu Zhiyan looked at Shen Zhenghao, thinking that this man was not only foolish and sweet but also mentally disturbed.
How could such a person be her ex-husband!
She was truly grateful that he had initiated the divorce; otherwise, being with such a brainless fool would probably shorten her lifespan.
"Heh... swoop in? You seem to have forgotten that you never loved me. Marrying me was torture for you, and you were the one who proposed the divorce. Xie Luofeng, on the other hand, has waited for me so devotedly for so many years. He's such a wonderful man, why would I miss out on him?"
People truly couldn't be compared!
In comparison, Gu Zhiyan felt even more that Xie Luofeng was a treasure, while Shen Zhenghao was simply an idiot!
As Shen Zhenghao was about to say more, Gu Zhiyan raised her hand to stop him. "If you truly have good intentions, then don't appear before Ah Yan and me. The moment you left the Shen family, left me and Ah Yan, you became an outsider."
Shen Zhenghao: "..."
Just then, a Range Rover stopped beside them. Xie Luofeng, seeing Shen Zhenghao staring at him unpleasantly, got out of the car and opened the door for Gu Zhiyan.
As Gu Zhiyan was about to get into the car, Shen Zhenghao, not knowing why, instinctively reached out and grabbed her arm.
Gu Zhiyan frowned and glanced at him. He quickly let go as if he had been scalded.
Xie Luofeng's dark eyes flashed slightly. As if to declare ownership, he put his arm around Gu Zhiyan's shoulder and said, "Ayan, let's go."
Upon hearing Xie Luofeng call her "Ayan," Shen Zhenghao's face turned green, and an inexplicable rage flared up in his heart. He spoke angrily, "Gu Zhiyan, you can forget about my son calling Xie Luofeng 'dad'!"
If it weren't for the fear of soiling her hands, Gu Zhiyan would have slapped Shen Zhenghao twice.
She curled her lips into a cold smile, tiptoed, and kissed Xie Luofeng on the lips. Under Shen Zhenghao's furious gaze, she said coldly, "Listen carefully, not only will I have Ah Yan call Luofeng 'dad,' but I will also have Zangzan call him 'grandpa'."
"You..."
Shen Zhenghao trembled with anger, but unable to argue with Gu Zhiyan, he turned to Xie Luofeng and said coldly, "Xie Luofeng, you are so venomous!"
This man had been lying low silently for so many years, just to wait until he and Gu Zhiyan divorced and steal everything from him!
Xie Luofeng smiled faintly. "Speaking of which, I should thank you. Thank you for not cherishing her, which allowed me to have Ayan."
Shen Zhenghao: "..."
Watching them drive away, Shen Zhenghao's face was ashen with rage.
His phone suddenly rang. He looked and saw it was Ji Luofei calling.
"Hello..."
"Zhenghao, where are you? Didn't we agree to go see Jun Shen at the hospital together today?"
Previously, due to Shen Chi Yan's words, Shen Zhenghao and Ji Luofei had almost fallen out. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and trouble, he hadn't told Ji Luofei about seeing Shen Chi Yan.
"I was out handling some matters. I'll come pick you up now."
Ji Luofei already knew what Shen Zhenghao had been doing, but she didn't expose him. Instead, she smiled and said, "Okay."
Meanwhile, Gu Zhiyan kissing Xie Luofeng in front of Shen Zhenghao had made Xie Luofeng extremely happy. After Shen Zhenghao was out of sight, he pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Just as Gu Zhiyan was about to ask why he had suddenly stopped, he unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over, and kissed her.
Gu Zhiyan was a talented and acclaimed film director, but at this moment, she couldn't find words to describe her excited and joyful emotions.
He had watched the woman he loved marry another man. No matter how heartbroken, despairing, or bitter he was, he never dared to disturb her life, silently retreating to the position of a friend to protect her.
After Gu Zhiyan got married, he couldn't find his creative flow for days, feeling that his life was utterly miserable.
Later, it was Gu Zhiyan who encouraged him to pull himself together, and he then made a film about protection, which eventually won an international award.
Sometimes, in his dreams, he would dream of Gu Zhiyan marrying him in a wedding dress. But every time he woke up and found himself alone in the empty house, he would feel a profound sense of loss.
When Shen Chi Yan was born, he had even despondently thought about just marrying any woman.
But every time this thought arose, he would think that the person wasn't Gu Zhiyan, and it felt meaningless.
His family, seeing him getting older and not getting married, naturally became anxious and introduced him to many women. However, he knew clearly that besides Gu Zhiyan, he wanted no one else.
Fortunately, his parents were very open-minded and respected his wishes. Knowing he was waiting for someone, they let him be.
He had prepared himself to wait a lifetime, but fate had smiled upon him, and his wish was finally granted.
Gu Zhiyan didn't know what had suddenly driven Xie Luofeng mad. She was so kissed that she could barely breathe. She placed her hands on Xie Luofeng's chest and pushed him. "You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Luofeng urgently kissed her again.
Only when Gu Zhiyan's entire body went limp did he reluctantly release her. He touched his nose to hers and whispered demandingly, "Ayan, I want you!"
Gu Zhiyan: "...What got into you?"
"I've waited twenty-something years for this day. I don't want to wait another second."
Xie Luofeng's eyes were very dark and bright. Gu Zhiyan saw her own flushed face and dazed eyes reflected in his deep, affectionate gaze.
She had never seen herself so moved by love. So this was what she looked like when she was in love.
Gu Zhiyan reached out and wrapped her arms around Xie Luofeng's neck, burying her head in his embrace, and whispered two words, "Let's go home."
That day, Director Xie sped home, running several red lights. When traffic police tried to pursue him, it was his smiling assistant who intercepted them to handle the situation.
And Director Xie finally got the woman he had yearned for, so happy he almost ascended to heaven.
