Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 260 Gu Juncheng, you bastard!

Lin Qingping stood behind him, gazing at him as he squatted down.

His dark eyes still shone brightly under the light. The way he pointed at her shoulder was just like when he bought a windmill and candied hawthorns and stuffed them into her hands during the New Year. But why had her heart completely changed?

Lin Qingping stopped looking into his eyes, suppressing the stinging in her eyes, stepped on his shoulders, and grabbed the iron gate railing at the same time.

"Hold on tight!"

With a soft sound, she was lifted into the air.

She stood in a high place, overlooking the campus and the night view from a perspective she had never had before.

My feet were planted firmly on his shoulders, steady and resolute.

"Lin Qingping, do you dare to climb over?" he reminded her from below.

She snapped out of her daze and began to climb over the iron gate.

There was a gap between the iron gate bars, and his shoulder rested in the gap. After she flipped over, she could still step on his shoulder to land.

Finally, she landed safely inside the iron gate.

The moment she regained her footing, he looked at her from across the room and said, "Lin Qingping, goodnight."

Backlit, she couldn't see his face clearly, only the buttons on his shirt gleaming faintly in the night.

She nodded. "See you tomorrow."

After saying that, she turned around and ran upstairs, letting the surging tide in her heart engulf her.

She had class the next morning, so she arranged to meet Gu Juncheng in the afternoon.

At noon, she went home to retrieve her documents.

I noticed that things were different at home than usual.

After the yard was renovated, the already abundant honeycomb briquettes were piled up even more, covering most of the backyard.

The house was spotless, as if it had been thoroughly cleaned for the Spring Festival. There was not a speck of dust, and even a faint fragrance wafted in the air.

One of the light bulbs was broken, and she had originally planned to replace it this weekend, but she has already replaced it.

I got a brand new bicycle, and I also bought a new set of pots, pans and utensils.

The bathroom had also been renovated, with a homemade boiler and new water pipes.

They even added a washing machine.

This is something new and exciting at this time!

In short, they hadn't been living in this house for very long, and everything was still in good condition, but many of the facilities had been replaced with new ones.

The house was empty, and no one told her who did it.

But she knew who it was without anyone telling her.

And this person is divorcing her this afternoon…

If you're getting a divorce, why do all these sticky, wishy-washy things that make people unhappy?

Lin Qingping quickly retrieved the relevant documents, wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and headed towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

He arrived first.

Standing at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he stood tall and straight, staring in her direction, his face calm and revealing no emotion.

Lin Qingping walked past him with her head down, saying, "Let's go."

He didn't answer; only the sound of footsteps responded to her: he was catching up.

The staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau were shocked to see them come to get a divorce. It was a military marriage. Why were they getting a divorce?

But they both understood each other perfectly: if their relationship didn't work out, they would divorce amicably.

Regardless of what the staff thought, their divorce proceeded without any problems, and the formalities were completed smoothly.

Holding the replaced document, Lin Qingping felt a tightness in her chest and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau without looking back.

"Lin Qingping".

Suddenly, he called out from behind.

She stopped in her tracks, only to fall into a familiar embrace.

He hugged her from behind. "I'm sorry, Lin Qingping. Promise me you'll live a good life."

She wanted to struggle, but upon hearing those words, she felt both bitter and powerless. She could only grit her teeth and say "okay," afraid that she would burst into tears.

After a long while, he finally let go of her.

"Goodbye, Lin Qingping," he said.

At this moment, Lin Qingping could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.

She didn't turn around, didn't let him see her face covered in tears, and only said with a forced smile, "I don't want to say goodbye to you. I want to see you again. I want you to see me living a successful and happy life. I want you to regret this moment."

She didn't know what expression he had behind her, she only heard him say "okay".

She took a breath. "So, Gu Juncheng, you must live to be a hundred years old. By then, I'll be a wealthy old lady, and you'll be a decrepit old man! You can only envy me!"

“Okay,” he said. “Then I’m leaving, Lin Qingping.”

She stood still, listening to the footsteps behind her gradually fade away until they were no longer audible, leaving only the sound of the wind howling through her hair.

She turned around, but there was no one there.

"Gu Juncheng! You bastard!" She covered her head, squatted down, and cried loudly in the wind, tears streaming down her face.

No one knew that she and Gu Juncheng had divorced.

She didn't tell anyone.

But Gu Juncheng never returned to that home.

So, maybe everyone already knows? Otherwise, why would everyone be so tacit and never mention Gu Juncheng in front of her again?

Even Gu Youlian and Xiaomai stopped mentioning it.

However, Gu Youlian treated her even better, showing concern and care for her.

The second sister never mentioned it. However, the second sister usually lives at school, so she rarely sees Gu Juncheng throughout the year. Even Lin Qingping herself encounters the second sister more often at school than at home. Therefore, the second sister should be completely unaware of it.

Life appeared calmer than ever before.

Lin Qingping focused more on her career.

Her tea and dessert shop was originally the only one in the capital, but now, a similar one has suddenly appeared.

It wasn't opened in the Capital Department Store, but at the entrance of the street where the Capital Department Store is located. You could say it has a better location, and people who come to shop on this street will see it at first glance.

When Wu Tianjiao came to talk to her, she was very disdainful, saying, "That Liu Yan from the Yun family, she's really something!"

Lin Qingping was not surprised by the emergence of similar shops in the market; it was only a matter of time. Her dessert shops, whether Chinese or Western pastries or sweet soups, were not difficult to replicate. Thirty years later, dessert shops would spring up one after another, with similar brands and mutual borrowing, which was also common.

The only thing that surprised her was that the person was Liu Yan.

It doesn't matter who it is, it's Liu Yan, but this opponent isn't very strong.

"It's alright. Our stuff doesn't require much skill to begin with, so it's normal for it to be copied. If we want to survive, we have to innovate and keep finding new ways." Lin Qingping was still very confident. She had experience running a restaurant in her previous life and had witnessed the most prosperous time of the dessert industry thirty years later.

Therefore, Lin Qingping devoted herself even more to the development of new products.

Although she has the superpower of rebirth, which can't really be called a cheat code, it still takes a lot of effort to develop a new product, especially something that goes in your mouth. You have to taste it again and again and modify the formula repeatedly. Sometimes, even the slightest change can completely change the taste.

In addition, she also has her fashion business to attend to, so she often works overtime until late at night.

This busy life is good; it's so fulfilling that she doesn't have time to think about Gu Juncheng. Gu Youlian feels sorry for her and tells her not to work so hard, that their lives are already very good.

Lin Qingping smiled slightly, knowing exactly what she was doing. She had promised Gu Juncheng that she would live a good life, become a wealthy old lady, and then laugh at him!
