Chapter 608: Ireland, the Country Where Divorce Is Forbidden

The words Gu Yuan said last night, Chi Yu originally didn’t believe them, didn’t even pay them much mind.Remarry?

What are the conditions for remarriage?

Coaxing and deceiving him to take her to Sydney, look, he knew it clearly and understood completely. And at this moment, Chi Yu thought more about why he was so rational and clear-headed, rather than how heartless Gu Yuan was. If he pretended to know nothing and cooperated with her, at least the days ahead wouldn’t be like now.

With this thought, he reached the early morning of the next day.

Chi Yu stood outside the civil affairs bureau, as if waking from a dream.

Gu Yuan walked a few steps ahead, noticed Chi Yu hadn’t followed, and was still standing in place. She walked back a few steps, stood beside him, and reached out her hand to pull at his fingers: "Not going in?"

Chi Yu looked at her.

Those pupils were so dark and bright that it was hard to discern his emotions at the moment, whether he was happy or unhappy. Even Gu Yuan couldn’t guess.

Her tone held a hint of probing: "...Changed your mind?"

"Yuanyuan." He suddenly called her tenderly, just like before.

Gu Yuan responded to him: "Mm? What do you want to say?"

Chi Yu clasped her finger with the hand she used to pull his, gently wrapping her entire hand in his broad palm. Gu Yuan looked down at it, then lifted her eyes again to gaze into his deep dark eyes.

His expression was strange.

She guessed he should be happy, but she couldn’t gauge his current blank expression, what mood it represented—good or bad?

Or perhaps, he no longer wanted to remarry?

Gu Yuan’s mind was in chaos; she, who was usually decisive and straightforward, seldom indulged in wild thoughts, but now she started to overthink.

Until her palm moved, Chi Yu tightened his hold on her hand, took a step forward, and said, "It’s nothing, let’s go."

The process for remarriage is the same as for initial marriage registration, except this time the man’s name on the marriage certificate changed from Quan Jin to Chi Yu.

He had registered the name Chi Yu separately a long time ago. Back then, he got married to Gu Yuan using the name and identity of Quan Jin, wanting to give her a more formal identity, so from then on, she was the mistress of the Quan Family, with a complete family—grandmother, parents, and uncles and aunts. He thought it out thoroughly at the time.

This remarriage wasn’t in his plans.

He didn’t even think about it, considering it natural to marry her using Quan Jin’s identity, which he assumed was also what she wanted.

But when he saw that Gu Yuan brought Chi Yu’s registration, at that moment Chi Yu suddenly realized that Gu Yuan was serious about this remarriage and had prepared everything.

No longer the name of Quan Jin.

Only Chi Yu, the one and only Chi Yu.

...

When they came out of the civil affairs bureau, Gu Yuan was actually quite unhappy and it was evident on her face.

Recollecting just now, throughout the entire process, Chi Yu’s demeanor had been so nonchalant that the staff remarked, "Usually, it’s the woman who’s unwilling and forced into marriage, but today it’s strange to see the man unwilling..."

Gu Yuan choked: "..."

Indeed, it’s quite unusual.

As if she was holding a knife to Chi Yu’s neck, forcing him into remarriage.

Due to his overly indifferent attitude, Gu Yuan was also infuriated and lost her temper on the spot, tossing the pen they used to fill out the "Marriage Registration Declaration Form" onto the table in front of him, making a clattering sound as if it hit his knuckle.

Gu Yuan crossed her arms: "If you don’t want to remarry, then don’t. It’s like I’m forcing you. We’re not stamped yet; there’s still a chance to back out."

Chi Yu had already filled it out, pushed the paper and pen to her side, and placed the pen she had just thrown back in front of her: "I’ve already written mine."

Gu Yuan looked at him leisurely, her expression the same as before, neither cold nor particularly warm: "Are you sure you’ve thought it through? This time, marrying me means a lifelong bond; I won’t divorce you again."

His brow twitched slightly.

Gu Yuan thought he finally showed a good face, and indeed he did, but he also took back the marriage registration declaration form he had just filled out, stating seriously and solemnly, "Your words just reminded me, so I’ve decided to reconsider."

Gu Yuan was already fuming inside.

Upon hearing this, and seeing him take back the already filled marriage registration form to destroy it and declare it null, she was even more furious.

Cursing herself inwardly for being out of her mind today to drag him into remarriage.

So, the marriage didn’t happen!
