Taozi was the first one to break the news.
"Xiaowan, you passed!! It seems to be true that when love fails, careers prevail!"
"What I mean is, congratulations on passing your application; you can now head to America to enjoy spicy food and luxurious living, and say goodbye to gutter oil."
Lu Wanwan finally felt relieved, "To save on airfare, the meal I owe you all could either wait for a future opportunity, or I could just bring a couple of instant noodle cups, how about that?"
As soon as Xu Yuan returned, Lu Wanwan immediately went up to show deep concern, taking the groceries from her, "I’ll start cooking right away."
"I shall await your service at the meal."
After moving out of the Gu Mansion, Lu Wanwan moved into a place rented by Xu Yuan.
The two of them figured out a routine: basically, Xu Yuan would do the shopping, and Lu Wanwan would cook.
It was because Xu Yuan’s cooking skills could possibly upset both their stomachs, whereas Lu Wanwan had been tutored by a renowned chef.
It was also because after Lu Wanwan proposed the divorce, she filmed a video apology and wrote a related explanation.
She painstakingly clarified that she had arranged the meeting with Bai Lingyun, who had no idea who was in the room, and was photographed by reporters as soon as he arrived at the hotel. Her marriage to Gu Annan had also ended, and this incident had nothing to do with the Gu family.
The public reluctantly accepted this explanation, and Bai Lingyun’s fans dug up the video evidence proving that it was this woman, not dressed properly, who walked out of the bathroom while their idol was dressed decently.
After the incident, Xu Yuan simply told her not to go out anymore, to avoid being doused with gasoline by people.
Lu Wanwan skillfully prepared dinner, and Xu Yuan sighed, "Although marrying Gu Annan didn’t bring any financial gains, and you didn’t get any money, your cooking skills are truly impressive. This is an unseen profit for you, as if a famous chef gave you private lessons, the tuition alone would’ve scared you to death."
"That’s true," she agreed wholeheartedly.
Xu Yuan held chopsticks in one hand and stroked her chin with the other, "Shouldn’t we promote this fact? Gu Annan has gained popularity as well, almost becoming a new male god. If those girls who want to become the Young Madam knew that this is what it’s like to marry into the Gu’s, it would be great to leave him lonely..."
"Don’t laugh, I really hope so," Xu Yuan’s face darkened slightly, "Alright, let’s not talk about him. Let’s eat."
These days, she kept expecting Gu Annan to probe her feelings through Shao Zhiheng, but there was no sign of it!
Fine then, wait for your loneliness!
"Xu Yuan, I’m going out tomorrow," she said casually, not knowing what Xu Yuan was thinking, "I’m heading to the school."
"Is it safe for you to go to the school now?" Xu Yuan looked anxious, "I’ll take you there. Are the girls at the school sensible or not?"
"It’s fine, everything has been taken care of," Lu Wanwan reassured her, "Xu Yuan, that..."
"Stop!" Xu Yuan immediately set down her bowl, covering her face with her hands, "When you talk like that, I know it’s not going to be good news. I don’t want to hear it."
"I think it’s good news, just not the most perfect kind," Lu Wanwan said with a smile, "I’m planning to study abroad."
"I’ve thought about it, and I decided to go abroad for further studies. Since Gu Annan dealt with my grandmother’s medical bills and I didn’t spend any money, the hospital has refunded me the amount. With the rest, I’ll work part-time while I study!"
"Are you not coming back?" Xu Yuan looked at her eagerly, "If you don’t want to come back, should I start saving for plane tickets to visit you?"
