Gu Xiaonuan was unaware of the things that Si Yuchen didn't want her to know. The less she knew, the less hurt she'd be.
If Gu Xiaonuan were hurt, Si Yuchen's initial purpose would also be undone.
Gu Xiaonuan refused to accept his gift and wouldn't allow him to reject the idea of divorce. She was eager to leave Si Yuchen, completely indifferent to whether Si Yuchen had her best interests in mind, and did not delve into the deeper meaning and hidden feelings behind Si Yuchen's actions.
If it were someone else, perhaps they wouldn't make Si Yuchen look so bad.
Si Yuchen has become this way because Gu Xiaonuan was too anxious. She was urgently wanting to divorce, but Si Yuchen had his own matters to attend to.
He needed to rescue the child from Si Lingtian's grasp as soon as possible, so they could continue discussing the matters ahead.
Talking about divorce? That can't happen until matters have temporarily settled.
