The Whole World Wants Me To Get Divorced chapter 63

A Lifelong Question

Rong Xiao pulled Wen Yan away from Qin You’s embrace with a darkened face, possessively holding him in his own arms.

If it were someone else doing this to Wen Yan, his fiancé, they might have been obliterated on the spot.

Qin You was still trying to figure out what was happening when she was pushed away.

In the past, besides Rong Xiao, she had the closest relationship with Yan Gu. She even clumsily tied a love knot for both Rong Xiao and Yan Gu, wishing them eternal happiness.

Now, looking at the face of Wen Yan, so familiar that it couldn’t be more familiar, her eyes blinked, and tears clung to her eyelashes.

She asked Rong Xiao, “You found Ah Yan, why didn’t you tell us?”

Rong Xiao looked at her inexplicably.

“This is Wen Yan,” Rong Xiao held Wen Yan’s hand and reintroduced him, “my fiancé, the person you just wanted to meet.”

He vaguely guessed that Qin You had mistaken Wen Yan for someone else.

But he also felt a bit absurd.

He couldn’t remember Yan Gu’s appearance at all, only vaguely recalling that Yan Gu seemed to prefer plain-colored clothes, often dressed in all white.

How could he know if Wen Yan looked similar to Yan Gu?

Rong Xiao glanced at Su Meng, who stood behind Qin You. Su Meng’s eyes also showed disbelief, even sorrow.

He sobered up faster than Qin You, so he looked at Wen Yan not with eagerness but as if looking through him at someone else.

Wen Yan felt a bit lost.

Normally, being stared at like this would feel a bit offensive.

But strangely, he felt a trace of guilt, as if he shouldn’t have made these people so sad.

In the end, it was Su Meng who reached out to Qin You.

He didn’t try to console Qin You too much, just softly said, “Xiao You, Ah Yan has dispersed completely. We were all there that day.”

Completely dispersed, not leaving a single trace of the soul.

How could he appear here three thousand years later?

This sentence was like a heavy blow to Qin You.

In these three thousand years, fewer and fewer people remembered Yan Gu’s existence, even Rong Xiao, who loved him so much, had lost memories of Yan Gu.

Only she and Su Meng remembered.

But when Yan Gui’s soul scattered in the heavens and the earth, she was clearly present. She heard Rong Xiao’s desperate screams, reached out her hand, but didn’t even catch a single fragment.

Once Qin You stepped out of the momentary confusion, she quickly calmed down. Looking at the bewildered young man in front of her, she forced a smile.

“Sorry for scaring you just now,” she said softly, returning to her usual confident and brisk demeanor. “I’m Qin You, and this is my husband, Su Meng. We’re friends of Rong Xiao. We came to congratulate you on your engagement and attend your wedding.”

After a while, everyone returned to the living room.

Wen Yan was held by Rong Xiao, sitting on a sofa together, while Su Meng and Qin You sat opposite.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, especially for Qin You. She couldn’t even bring herself to look up at Wen Yan.

They came happily to congratulate Rong Xiao on his engagement and attend the wedding, having decided not to mention Yan Gu. However, seeing Wen Yan caused them to lose control of their emotions.

Rong Xiao, usually calm and composed, also felt a bit uneasy. Although he appeared calm on the surface, inside, he was anxious, recalling the incident when Wen Yan kicked him out of the room a while ago.

He really had no idea how Yan Gu and Wen Yan looked so much alike that even Qin You could mistake them.

Rong Xiao quietly observed Wen Yan’s expression, like a skilled firefighter, always ready to extinguish Wen Yan’s potential anger.

But Wen Yan didn’t give him that chance.

Wen Yan wasn’t really angry. He was generally soft-hearted towards guests, especially Qin You, an impressive beauty. With her eyes slightly red, she made people even softer.

Feeling a bit curious, he looked at Qin You and asked, “Do I really look so much like Yan Gu?”

Rong Xiao’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

Qin You and Su Meng felt a bit helpless. This seemed like a question leading to trouble, and the one in trouble was Rong Xiao.

But to deny the resemblance would be absurd.

It was clearly the same face.

Finally, Qin You could only say vaguely, “He’s slightly taller than you.”

Wen Yan understood. Fine, not just similar; they were exactly the same.

Except for the difference in height.

Wen Yan couldn’t help but wonder if he got the wrong script. Was he not the protagonist of a Jack Sue story but a substitute for a tragic love and pursuit, ending in cremation?

He touched his own face, turning to Rong Xiao, “Could it be that we had a love affair in a past life, and in this life, after reincarnation, I’ve come to find you?”

He didn’t insist on being the reincarnation of that so-called Yan Gu.

It’s just that as a person addicted to melodramatic novels, this coincidence seemed too familiar. He couldn’t help but question it.

Rong Xiao didn’t know what to say.

After a long silence, he said to Wen Yan, “Yan Gu has completely dissipated, meaning there’s no soul left. In theory, he couldn’t have reincarnated.”

According to what Qin You and Su Meng told him, after Yan Gu died, he didn’t immediately lose his memories. He once tried to gather Yan Gu’s soul. However, in the vastness of the heavens and earth, with his cultivation, he couldn’t even summon a fragment of the remaining soul.

Wen Yan dryly said, “Oh,” not knowing how to continue the conversation.

Wen Yan, Su Meng, and Qin You sat in silence for a while, their faces showing the despair of desperately seeking a topic and failing to find one.

Finally, Su Meng remembered the gift they had prepared, rescuing the awkward situation.

The two of them brought out extraordinary gifts from their mustard seed bags, piling them on the sofa as if trying to bury Wen Yan.

Among them was a set of clothes made from a fabric even more precious than Jiao Sha, called Fine Willow Silk. It was as ethereal as clouds, yet had an indestructible defense. Wen Yan quite liked it.

After chatting for a while, they finally endured until dinner.

Wen Yan sacrificed himself, delivering a monologue like a stand-up comedian. He covered topics from the school’s bald teacher to his and Rong Xiao’s wedding, even poking fun at Rong Xiao’s unusual choice of red for everything in the wedding.

As he spoke, Rong Xiao’s gaze inevitably stuck to him. It was as if Wen Yan was a shining star, and he was the planet orbiting around him.

Qin You and Su Meng also joined in enthusiastically. Qin You even discussed the latest fashion gossip with Wen Yan, debating whether pearls should be used on the wedding suits.

However, they couldn’t help but feel more puzzled as the night went on. Not only did Wen Yan look like Yan Gu, but his talkative nature was also identical.

Qin You’s mind wandered, and she often felt as if it were still three thousand years ago. Next to her was Yan Gu, chattering away, complaining about Rong Xiao’s lack of understanding.

Before midnight arrived, Qin You and Su Meng bid farewell. They had their own house in this monster residential area, within walking distance, so there was no need for them to stay overnight.

Rong Xiao escorted them to the door.

Under the dim night sky, Qin You looked at Rong Xiao, the doubts hidden in the corners of her eyes and brows revealing a faint expression.

But in the end, she just smiled at him.

“You’re right,” she chuckled, “Wen Yan is indeed quite likable.”

She spoke the truth. She genuinely enjoyed her time with Wen Yan.

Rong Xiao felt both proud and embarrassed.

“He really is,” he smiled.

Qin You and Su Meng walked back to their own home, the bright lights illuminating the house. However, they didn’t go upstairs. Each took a side of the sofa, brows furrowed, going over the various events that happened tonight.

After a while, the couple exchanged a tacit glance and stood up from the sofa simultaneously.

One went to find the contact information of the Ghost King, and the other went to analyze the horoscope.

Although they knew the possibility was minuscule, no matter how they looked at it, they suspected that Wen Yan was the reincarnation of Yan Gu.

So, without bothering Rong Xiao, they decided to investigate the past and present of Wen Yan on their own.
