My Clever Wife Is Sweet

Gu Yan had a smile on his face but his smile froze when he heard her. Yes, this was an engagement party and they were meant to exchange rings. But why he suddenly felt reluctant to do that.

"What happened, Gu Yan? You okay?" She had noticed the change in his expression. Even if he is forty, he still looked young and in her eyes, he was her dream guy who is already settled enough. 

Many women were trying to aim for her position. One of them she knew was Su Xi! Yes, she had felt this long ago but kept mum. All she needed was to ask Lin Juwan to do something. But she cleared out the scandal so easily and came out of it. 

But this does not mean she will stop her dirty tricks to remove Su Xi from her way if she comes in her motive. 

"Hmm…" Gu Yan does not know what to say he just murmured. Hearing his lack of response, made Lin Jua a little unhappy but she can't do anything for now. At least he is getting engaged to her.

Lin Jua did not waste any time and asked her friends to gather everyone as they were going to exchange rings. All the members of the Gu family came forward to bless the couples and witness such an auspicious moment. 

But Su Xi stood where she was. All she looked was at Gu Yan's expression. Even Shi Yu just stood and noticed Su Xi's eye look at Gu Yan. Hr can see that it was time to exchange the rings and everyone was gathering there. But he felt this time, he needs to stay beside Su Xi.

Maybe because he knew she was going to break now. He can see the pain in her eyes even though she tried her best to hide it.

"Ms. Su, I understand it must be difficult for you. But from your face, your health does not look good. Shall we go back now?" Shi Yu noticed her pale expression too. She looked too weak. 

But a smile was there on her face. 

"I'm good. I will go when Gu Yan slips the ring into Lin Jua's finger." There, the engagement is completed only when the male slips the ring into the hands.

"But…" Shi Yu does not know what to say to he4. she is persistence in standing here and then let her be. 

He will not convince her anymore! If she wants to be pained then let her be. But why he cared? Maybe because she was Ye Nian's mother and Gu Yan's ex-wife? Who is waiting for him to come back to her and her children? 

Shi Yu went away a little from her. He wanted to give her some space for herself.

Lin Juwan stood between then proudly near his sister as they all gathered. The media was now fully concentrating on the couples. 

Su Xi's hands were now converted into a fist. Yes, her anger was rising up. She was still wearing the ring he gave to her. But she will take it out once he is engaged to Lin Jua. They will be finished after this. The only thing then, which will matter is going to be their children. 

Her Gu Yan was going away from her finally!

A waiter offered her a drink, "Miss, would you like to drink?" He ordered a glass of wine. Su Xi looked at the glass. The doctor advised her not to. Her stomach was not good and it will Detroit her health more.

But emotions took over her as she grabbed the glass with a tight grip. Su Xi brought the glass near her mouth with trembling hands. She did not know what will happen if she drinks it. Anyway, the only worse can be she will have to stay in bed for long. But for now, she least cared. 

Even if she dies, will someone care about her except her children? No! No one will care. Then was dying the only option left? Many people die in love but she has responsibility for her children, the responsibility which they both should manage but she is the only one doing so.

From far away, amid the crowd, he can see Su Xi staring at the wine glass in her hands. Even her lips were already dry and lost their actual color. It was evident she was sick before she knocked on her door!!

But why the hell, she even came here? Don't know. But then he heard someone saying something to him.

"Gu Yan, bring your hand forward.." He saw Lin Juwan saying this. A ring was there in Lin Jua's hand. He quietly brought his hand forward and Lin Jua took it gently, and the ring slipped into his fingers.

Loud around of applauses were given. But now, he was not even smiling. The ring given was so loose that it might fall at any moment if he did not manage his hand well. Can't just Lin's family go and take his measurement before selecting the ring?! Who makes one wear a loose ring?

While seeing this scene, Su Xi closed her eyes to stop her tears coming out which were on verge of falling. Not even caring about anything, Su Xi gulped a whole glass of wine in just seconds, in one breath!

She turned around and asked the bartender, "Pour me more." 

The bartender was reluctant but then he met Su Xi's fierce glare. He poured more and she again finished this glace in one breath. Nothing can stop her today! No one! Her husband was going away from her for once and all. She will be a true widow today after he is engaged!

This was some kind of movie-going on, where her love story is going to end!

But then, she heard one voice from all of the people speaking in the gathering, "It is your turn, Gu Yan.. Slip this ring into Lin Jua's hand."
