Si Yuchen proposed conditions that Gu Xiaonuan refused to agree to, so they could only temporarily let it go.
Even an agreed divorce wasn't something that could happen so easily because Gu Xiaonuan didn't have the power to convince Si Yuchen.
Si Yuchen seemed to have already made up his mind, and it was impossible for him to show any softness toward Gu Xiaonuan again.
As for Gu Xiaonuan, although her heart was set on divorcing Si Yuchen as quickly as possible, the outcome was far from satisfactory.
Gu Xiaonuan wanted to divorce Si Yuchen, but the conditions he proposed were ones she couldn't accept.
Gu Xiaonuan couldn't just compromise with Si Yuchen over this, because if she did, she would lose the position to say or argue about anything further.
Gu Xiaonuan was someone who held herself and her life to high standards of responsibility, so she knew exactly what she needed to do regarding this relationship.
