Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 518 The Blind Girl Bound by Gratitude (11)

After returning home, Mu Zhou called out to Lan Ze:

"Let's talk."

The two sat facing each other in the living room.

Lanze thought she was going to bring up the topic from noon again, so he prepared an explanation.

He has come to understand that his days off should not be disturbed.

He can guarantee that things like what happened today will not happen again.

Lan Ze was prepared to be questioned, but to his surprise, Mu Zhou said to him:

"Let's get a divorce."

"……what?"

Lan Ze froze, unable to believe what he had just heard.

He frowned and looked closely at Mu Zhou, trying to see if she was joking.

But no.

She was very calm, so calm that even the corners of her eyes and brows showed a rare seriousness.

It was completely different from her usual smiling face.

He clenched his fists, which were resting on his knees.

"I disagree. You can't see right now, you need my..."

"Let's stop talking about responsibilities, Lanze. Do you love me?"

Lanze suddenly lost his voice.

Love?

He really hadn't thought about those things.

Lan Ze simply felt a responsibility towards Mu Zhou, and Mu Zhou happened to like being around him, so marrying her wasn't too difficult.

He looked into Mu Zhou's beautiful eyes.

These eyes are beautifully shaped, especially when they smile; the curve of their eyes is slightly upturned, making them bright and sparkling.

Whenever I look at him, it feels like he's the only person in the whole world.

He had almost fallen for the deep affection in those eyes.

"Do you love me?"

Mu Zhou asked again.

Lanze suddenly realized that he was actually distracted by these thoughts.

He hurriedly looked away.

Even though she knew Mu Zhou couldn't see her, she still felt a little guilty for some reason.

His throat bobbed.

Receiving no reply, Mu Zhou gave a self-deprecating laugh:

“I know you married me purely out of gratitude. You are a very responsible person, both at work and in life. I originally wanted to use this to tie myself to you forever.”

Speaking of the past, Mu Zhou couldn't help but sigh:

“It’s my fault. We just can’t work things out. I’m really tired. I don’t want you to repay this kindness anymore. Let’s get a divorce. It will be a relief for both of us.”

Just as Lan Ze was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang.

He originally wanted to hang up, but seeing that the caller was the dean, he had no choice but to say to Mu Zhou:

"I'll take this call first."

He returned a moment later:

"There's been a problem with the lab in City A, I have to go there. We'll talk again when I get back."

He left in such a hurry, without any hesitation.

Mu Zhou was speechless and rubbed his forehead.

It's hard to imagine how angry the original owner would be if this were really happening to her.

Your wife is asking for a divorce, and you're about to go on a business trip.

Mu Zhou took out his phone and started contacting moving companies, then called his friends.

She had an apartment in the next neighborhood, where she had lived for a long time. She moved here after marrying Lanze.

Now that they've filed for divorce, it's naturally inappropriate for them to continue living together.

With the help of friends and a moving company, Mu Zhou quickly finished moving his belongings.

That evening, Mu Zhou suggested going out for drinks:

"I'll treat you to drinks. I heard there's a new slow-rock bar that just opened on 92nd Street. Let's go check it out."

The original owner used to occasionally go to bars with friends to listen to music and have a drink, but since losing her sight, she no longer goes to bars, and she almost never sees her friends anymore.

Now that she wants to go out and clear her head, her friends naturally won't refuse.

So the three of them went to a bar.

The newly opened store has a nice atmosphere. A folk singer is playing and singing on stage with a guitar. The lighting isn't too dim, and the atmosphere isn't too noisy.

Mu Zhou helped his friend sit down and asked the bartender to make him a fruit-flavored cocktail.

During this time, Lan Ze called, and as soon as Mu Zhou answered, he heard Qin Mo'er's urging voice coming from the other end.

Mu Zhou immediately said, "You go ahead and do your work."

Then, without saying another word, he hung up the phone, silencing Lan Ze from saying what he wanted to say.

He heard that Mu Zhou's voice wasn't quiet, and it didn't sound like she was at home. But it was already night, so where could she have gone?

Just as he was about to call back, he heard Qin Mo'er and her colleagues calling him over.

Lan Ze could only suppress his somewhat agitated heart and focus all his attention on his work.

In the bar, Mu Zhou didn't drink much, but slowly sipped his cocktail.

Even so, her cheeks still flushed red, despite her low alcohol tolerance.

She rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head and squinted her eyes, swaying slightly to the guitar music on stage.

A lazy and carefree look.

Seeing her like this, her friend couldn't help but ask:

"Are you really determined to divorce Lanze? You pursued him so passionately back then, and you finally got married. Are you really willing to give him up?"

Afraid she wouldn't hear, my friend raised her voice a little.

Mu Zhou's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his lips curled up again as he said self-deprecatingly:

"A marriage without love cannot last long; I was too demanding in the past."

"It's good that you can think positively. Lanze said he would marry you and take care of you for the rest of your life, but I don't think he took care of you much. When you needed him, he was always working."

My friend brought up the incident two months ago when Mu Zhou had an acute appendicitis attack in the middle of the night.

Mu Zhou suddenly had abdominal pain in the middle of the night, but he couldn't reach Lan Ze no matter what he tried. He had no choice but to dial 120 by himself. He planned to contact his parents after dawn, but his friend called him at that time.

So my friend accompanied me to the hospital.

Lanze's phone was only able to be reached after her surgery.

At this point, my friend chuckled:

"It's the same whether he's there or not. If you're getting a divorce, then you're getting a divorce. I'll introduce you to someone better."

Another friend also said:

"Mu Zhou, don't underestimate yourself. To be honest, many of my male friends are eyeing you. The line of suitors stretches all the way to Mexico. Just give the word, and I'll give them your contact information."

Mu Zhou couldn't help but laugh at his friends' exaggerated jokes:

"Okay, stop comforting me."

Her smile was much more relaxed, her eyebrows slightly raised, conveying a sense of ease.

Even though her eyes were unfocused and empty, one could still sense her unbridled nature at that moment.

She tilted her head back and drank the entire cocktail in her glass.

Her slender neck presented a graceful curve.

The slightly pungent liquor slid down her throat, causing her to furrow her brows slightly, but the frown quickly dissipated.

A faint blush began to appear at the corners of her eyes.

He was clearly drunk.

She listened quietly to the songs on stage, completely unaware that she had already fallen into someone else's eyes.

In the adjacent seat, Fu Hanji silently watched the girl who was clearly drunk not far away.

He heard everything they said.

Fu Hanji's eyes were dark and expressionless as he drank a glass of wine.

As they got up to leave, Fu Hanji stood up without hesitation.

My friend asked in confusion:

"Where are you going?"

"I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Fu Hanji picked up his coat from the chair, got up, and chased after him.
