Chapter 5: Is there a cooling-off period for divorce?
"Why did you come to see me this time?"

Gu Yuan didn't know that Gu Fei had driven Xun'er out of the mountain last night.

After all, Xun'er herself knew that she would be embarrassed if this matter became known to others.

When Gu Fei saw Gu Yuan’s reaction, he realized that he didn’t know yet.

When he first arrived, Gu Fei wanted to make it clear directly.

But Xun'er is Gu Yuan's daughter, and even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.

Even though Gu Yuan, as the clan leader, could not openly favor his daughter, he was bound to be biased in his handling of the matter.

"Xun'er and I have been married for half a year. Xun'er is a very good person."

"but……"

Gu Fei thought about what Xun'er had done. Although he had let it go in his heart, his tone was still a little obscure.

"Maybe I'm not good enough, Xun'er doesn't have me in her heart."

"Perhaps Xun'er and I are not meant to be together. I am not suitable for her."

Gu Fei stopped talking and looked at Gu Yuan who had been silent.

Could it be that Gu Fei wants to separate?

[Gu Yuan has a surprised emotion, and the emotion value increases by 5]

The surprise in Gu Yuan's eyes was well hidden. He lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Fei who was sitting below.

It was Gu Fei who came to him for help and kept emphasizing that he wanted to marry Xun'er.

Gu Fei is the leader of the younger generation, and he feels that Gu Fei has great potential.

Besides, since he had watched the child grow up, Gu Yuan agreed.

But how come such changes happened after only half a year of marriage?
But then, Gu Yuan became slightly angry.

If Xun'er separates from Gu Fei, even if she has done nothing wrong, her reputation will probably be greatly affected.

Gu Fei observed Gu Yuan's reaction in silence.

But in the next second I received a system prompt tone.

[Gu Yuan becomes angry, and his emotion value increases by 5]

He understood that this was probably an attempt to speak up for his daughter.

Gu Yuan will definitely question him next, and Gu Fei will also have to organize some words.

The following explanation must be more tactful.

Gu Yuan's eyebrows became more serious, and his whole body unconsciously exuded a faint sense of oppression.

He didn't do it on purpose, he just did it subconsciously.

Just when Gu Yuan was about to ask Gu Fei the real reason.

Before anyone appeared, a female voice arrived.

"Father, I will not divorce Gu Fei!"

Immediately afterwards, Xun'er, who had not slept well the whole night, ran in hurriedly with her skirt lifted up.

[Xun'er becomes excited, emotional value increases by 50]

Gu Fei concealed his smile and sent his ex-wife, who had a high emotional value, to his home.

Gu Yuan looked at her making a fuss and snorted with both love and dissatisfaction, then let her sit down.

Xun'er hesitated for a moment and chose to sit opposite Gu Fei.

Although she also wanted to sit closer to Gu Fei, Gu Fei now didn't give her any face at all.

She'd better not ask for trouble.

As soon as Xun'er sat down, Gu Yuan sat up a little straighter and asked anxiously.

"Gu Fei came to me early in the morning to discuss something. Xun'er, tell daddy, what happened between you and Gu Fei?"

The worry on his face made Xun'er look ashamed and lower her head.

[Xun'er feels ashamed, emotional value increases by 50]

She lowered her head and refused to answer, so Gu Yuan had to look at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei held his forehead helplessly and sighed.

He tried to explain as tactfully as possible why he wanted to separate.

"Xun'er and I have been married for half a year. I wanted us to live in harmony."

"But...we have never actually been husband and wife."

His euphemistic first sentence made Gu Yuan dumbfounded. Gu Yuan expected that Xun'er might not be able to fall in love with Gu Fei for a while, but he didn't expect that the two of them hadn't consummated their marriage for half a year.

He had always hoped to have one or two smart, cute and innocent grandchildren, but it all came to nothing.

Gu Yuan saw that Gu Fei wanted to say much more than that, and nodded for him to continue.

"If this was the only thing, I would never propose a divorce."

"Do you still remember the Xiao family?"

Xun'er's face changed.

She was naturally afraid that Gu Yuan would put her under house arrest after knowing this and would never allow her to see Xiao Yan again.

She was even more afraid that Gu Yuan would send someone to capture Xiao Yan in order to stop her from thinking about him...

[Xun'er becomes nervous, emotional value increases by 50]

"Of course I remember. It was the family in Wutan City that I sent Xun'er to back then."

Gu Yuan continued.

What was Gu Fei going to say? He couldn't help but look strange.

"Xiao Yan, the son of the Xiao family leader, was a 'genius' who was the best in Wutan City back then. He grew up with Xun'er and they got along extremely well, so well that they even..."

Gu Fei closed his eyes.

“Even after returning to the Ancient Clan, they still had to give Xiao Yan a big gift.”

"Of course, it could be that we are just friends. She was afraid that I would get angry if I knew, so she secretly went to see Xiao Yan without telling me."

[Xun'er feels ashamed, emotional value increases by 100]

Xun'er lowered her head and listened to Gu Fei telling her father what she had done in a tactful tone.

She didn't deny it, but her face turned a little red.

[Gu Yuan becomes angry, and his emotion value increases by 5]

After hearing this, Gu Yuan was angry with Xun'er.

But he could also understand Gu Fei at the same time.

As a man, he would also be angry if his woman behaved like this.

I was even so angry that I wanted to break up.

However, the one who made the mistake was Gu Yuan's daughter after all, so of course he wanted to protect her.

But I’m sorry for Gu Fei, Gu Yuan sighed.

"Xun'er, how could you do such a thing? How could the Xiao family kid compare to your husband, allowing you to do such a treasonous thing?"

"You really disappoint me!"

[Xun'er feels ashamed, emotional value increases by 200]

Xun'er felt even more ashamed at her father's scolding.

Gu Yuan changed the subject.

"Xun'er must regret doing this, why don't you go back and think about it for a while?"

After all, a good son-in-law like Gu Fei is both strong and good to his wife.

He should think more about Xun'er.

"If you still insist on doing this after a month, then I will agree to let you two separate!"

This month...

Gu Fei looked a little strange.

He didn't expect that even in the Douqi Continent, there was still a so-called cooling-off period for divorce?
Of course Gu Fei was unwilling to agree to such an absurd request.

In just one month, could he forgive Xun'er for cheating on him?
But he is unable to contradict Gu Yuan at the moment, as Gu Fei’s strength is not yet at the point where he can act recklessly in the entire Gu clan.

Gu Fei had no choice but to nod helplessly.

"Chief, then it's up to you."

Gu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, but was choked by his next sentence.

"But I think, after a month, my thoughts will not change..."

Gu Yuan is the head of the clan and his words carry great weight.

Since he asked to postpone the separation of Gu Fei and Xun'er, Gu Fei had no choice but to agree temporarily.

But who can predict what will happen in the future?
