Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 5: Is there a cooling-off period for divorce?

"What brings you here today?"

Gu Yuan was unaware that Gu Fei had driven Xun'er off the mountain last night.

After all, Xun'er herself knew that she would be embarrassed if others found out about this.

Gu Fei could tell from Gu Yuan's reaction that he was still unaware.

When he first arrived, Gu Fei wanted to state his intentions directly.

However, Xun'er is Gu Yuan's daughter, and even tigers don't eat their cubs.

Even though Gu Yuan, as the clan leader, couldn't openly favor his daughter, he would inevitably be biased in his handling of the situation.

"Xun'er and I have been married for half a year. Xun'er is a very good person."

"but……"

Gu Fei thought about what Xun'er had done. Although he had let it go in his heart, his tone was still somewhat ambiguous.

"Perhaps I am not good enough, and Xun'er does not have me in her heart."

"Perhaps Xun'er and I are not meant to be; I am not suitable for her."

Gu Fei stopped there, glancing at Gu Yuan, who had remained silent.

Could it be that Gu Fei wants a divorce?

[Gu Yuan shows surprise, emotion value increases by 5]

Gu Yuan concealed his surprise well as he looked down at Gu Fei sitting below.

It was Gu Fei who begged him, constantly emphasizing that he wanted to marry Xun'er.

Gu Fei is the leader of the younger generation, and he thinks Gu Fei has a bright future.

In addition, he had watched the child grow up, so Gu Yuan agreed.

How could such a change have occurred after only six months of marriage?

However, Gu Yuan immediately became slightly angry.

If Xun'er were to divorce Gu Fei, even if she hadn't done anything wrong, her reputation would likely be severely affected.

Gu Fei silently observed Gu Yuan's reaction.

But the next second I received a system notification.

[Gu Yuan experiences anger; his emotion value increases by 5.]

He understood; this was probably someone trying to stand up for their daughter.

Gu Yuan will definitely question him next, and Gu Fei also needs to organize his thoughts in a voice message.

The following explanation should be tactful.

Gu Yuan's expression turned serious, and he unconsciously exuded a faint aura of pressure.

He didn't do it on purpose; it was just an unconscious action.

Just as Gu Yuan was about to ask Gu Fei the real reason...

Before anyone could be seen, a woman's voice preceded them.

"Father, I will not divorce Gu Fei!"

Immediately afterwards, Xun'er, who hadn't slept well all night, rushed in, lifting her skirt.

[Xun'er becomes agitated; her emotional value increases by 50.]

Gu Fei concealed the smile on his lips and sent his ex-wife, who was emotionally charged, to his door.

Seeing her boisterous manner, Gu Yuan gave a loving yet displeased snort before letting her sit down.

After hesitating for a moment, Xun'er chose to sit opposite Gu Fei.

Although she wanted to sit closer to Gu Fei, Gu Fei wasn't giving her any face at all.

She'd better not make things difficult for herself.

As soon as Xun'er sat down, Gu Yuan straightened up slightly and asked anxiously.

"Gu Fei came to me early this morning to discuss something. Xun'er, tell your father, what happened between you and Gu Fei?"

The worry on his face made Xun'er look ashamed and lower her head.

Xun'er feels ashamed; her emotional value increases by 50.

She lowered her head and refused to answer, so Gu Yuan had no choice but to look at Gu Fei.

Helplessly, Gu Fei rubbed his forehead and sighed.

He tried to explain why he wanted a divorce in a tactful way.

"Xun'er and I have been married for half a year, and I had hoped that we would live in harmony."

"But... we have never actually consummated our marriage."

His tactful first sentence left Gu Yuan speechless.

Gu Yuan had anticipated that Xun'er might not be able to fall in love with Gu Fei for a while, but he never expected that the two of them would not consummate their marriage for half a year.

He had always hoped to have one or two intelligent, adorable, and innocent grandchildren, but those hopes vanished.

Gu Yuan realized that Gu Fei wanted to say much more than that, so he nodded to signal him to continue.

"If it were just this one thing, I naturally wouldn't have proposed a divorce."

"Do you still remember the Xiao family?"

Xun'er's expression changed.

She was naturally afraid that if Gu Yuan found out about this, he would put her under house arrest and never allow her to see Xiao Yan again.

She was even more afraid that Gu Yuan, in order to extinguish her hopes, would directly send someone to capture Xiao Yan...

[Xun'er experiences tension; her emotional value increases by 50.]

"Of course I remember. It was the family from Wutan City that I sent Xun'er to back then."

Gu Yuan continued.

What was Gu Fei trying to say? A strange look appeared in his eyes.

"Xiao Yan, the son of the Xiao family patriarch, was once the most outstanding 'genius' in Wutan City. He and Xun'er grew up together and got along exceptionally well, so well that..."

Gu Fei closed his eyes.

"Even after returning to the ancient clan, they still had to give Xiao Yan a big gift."

"Of course, she might just be a friend. But perhaps she was afraid I would be angry if I found out, so she secretly went to see Xiao Yan behind my back."

Xun'er feels ashamed; her emotional value increases by 100.

Xun'er listened with her head down as Gu Fei recounted what she had done to her father in a tactful tone.

She didn't deny it, but her face turned slightly red.

[Gu Yuan experiences anger; his emotion value increases by 5.]

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan felt angry towards Xun'er.

But at the same time, he could also understand Gu Fei.

As a man myself, I would also get angry if my woman acted like that.

They were even so angry that they wanted to divorce.

However, it was ultimately Gu Yuan's daughter who made the mistake, so he naturally wanted to protect her.

"I'm sorry, Gu Fei," Gu Yuan sighed inwardly.

"Xun'er, how could you do such a thing? How can that Xiao family boy compare to your husband? How could you commit such a rebellious act?"

"You've really disappointed me!"

Xun'er feels ashamed; her emotional value increases by 200.

Her father's scolding made Xun'er even more ashamed.

Gu Yuan then changed the subject.

"Xun'er must regret what she did. Why don't you go back and think about it some more?"

After all, Gu Fei is a good son-in-law who is both powerful and good to his wife.

He still needs to think more about Xun'er.

"If you still insist on this after a month, then I will agree to your divorce!"

This past month...

Gu Fei's expression was somewhat strange.

He never expected that even after arriving in the Dou Qi Continent, there would still be a so-called "cooling-off period" for divorce.

Gu Fei was naturally unwilling to agree to such an absurd request.

Can he really forgive Xun'er for cheating on him in just one month?

However, Gu Yuan is not someone he can defy at present, and Gu Fei's strength has not yet reached the point where he can act recklessly throughout the entire Gu Clan.

Gu Fei could only nod helplessly.

"Chieftain, then so be it."

Gu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, but was choked up by his next words.

"However, I think my thoughts won't change a month from now..."

Gu Yuan was the head of a clan, and his words carried great weight.

Since he suggested temporarily suspending Gu Fei and Xun'er's separation, Gu Fei had no choice but to agree.

But who can say for sure what the future holds?
