"Eh! How can you say that," Su Luo quirked an eyebrow, "Who is our Fourth Master Gu, heās fearless! Isnāt that right, Fourth Brother?"
"Youāve already set the challenge, no point in arguing now, bring it on." Gu Liancheng was truly fearless.
But Eleven didnāt know whether he feared losing or running naked?
Eleven, looking as if she was about to face death, seized Gu Lianchengās arm: "If Iām up, weāre really doomed!"
Was she kidding? Who would really want to wear a bikini and fly with him? She thought that Gu Liancheng would definitely win! But theyāre playing doubles?
She had only just touched a cue in her entire life! Was this a death sentence?
"Sister-in-law, the challenge is laid, whether you like it or not, youāve got to play!"
Resigned, she had to step up, but her efforts were pathetic, and there was a burst of cheers from behind. Instead of watching Su Luo run naked, they would rather see Gu Liancheng do so. It was more entertaining.
Eleven wished she could bite off her own tongue. What a terrible idea to get herself into this mess!
As soon as Luna, their opponent, took the stage, she did so with the posture of a professional player, striking confidently.
Given this disparity, Gu Liancheng didnāt rush, but sauntered leisurely beside Eleven. He bent slightly, pointing at a certain distance, saying, "Just get to there, leave the rest to me."
When the thirty shots were over, anyone would have thought the victory was certain. In the end, Eleven stubbornly knocked the ball into a water hazard, leaving Gu Liancheng with a tricky shot.
"I canāt watch this; Iām going to the restroom."
From afar, Su Luo teased her: "Sister-in-law, donāt try to run away. Even at the end of the world, Iāll drag you back. Iāve got my eyes on that bikini; itās a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
...
Returning from the restroom, she met a group of women who smiled and said: "Thanks to you, we get to see Fourth Master Gu naked."
She couldnāt dare to think...
If he really got naked, Gu Liancheng would skin her alive once they get home! Such an embarrassing act would kill anyone.
Eleven didnāt dare to watch the scene, so she hid back in the locker room.
As soon as she walked in, Gu Lianchengās phone rang; it was Su Bai hanging up.
In a short while, another message popped up, the preview showed a few words: Mr. Gu, all the other procedures are completed, now... all we need is Madamās signature.
Eleven was stunned for a bit, then she understood that it was about their divorce.
So, he had been quietly working on it all this time.
It was at this moment that Eleven deeply felt the impending dissolution of their marriage.
Ever since she found the divorce agreement, Gu Liancheng hadnāt mentioned a word about it. He had never shown a hint that they were divorcing, not even after Shang Muxueās appearance.
If she hadnāt found the divorce agreement in the bedside table ahead of time and mentally prepared herself, she would probably be dumbfounded and at a loss now upon seeing Su Baiās message.
Thankfully, she knew the divorce was coming all along, and her dependence on him was gradually ebbing away, so it wouldnāt be too sudden to leave her unprepared.
The screen auto-locked, just as if she hadnāt touched it or seen anything, still acting as if she didnāt know anything.
Now she was waiting for him to tell her personally. Their four-year-long marriage was finally coming to an end.
...
The voices gradually approached the locker room, a group of people speaking loudly about something, exaggerated and excited. Gu Liancheng was leading the group, expressionless as ever, leaving it unclear whether heād lost or won the game.
