Gu Xiaonuan would never think that getting a divorce from Si Yuchen is this simple, just one word from him would suffice.
Si Yuchen gave Gu Xiaonuan a promise, however, whether or not Gu Xiaonuan believes it, all depends on how she perceives the promise Si Yuchen gave her.
Si Yuchen is someone who doesn't easily change his mind, and Gu Xiaonuan has given up on trying to persuade him.
Gu Xiaonuan tried, and she failed.
Si Yuchen has this sort of mindset, no matter what means she employs to convince him, he has ways to make Gu Xiaonuan regret it.
To avoid future regret, despite the promise Si Yuchen gave her, Gu Xiaonuan still used a more cautious approach to facilitate their divorce.
Si Yuchen can't keep putting Mu Shan in an awkward situation forever, Mu Shan is the woman Si Yuchen loves the most, could Si Yuchen give her up for Mu Shan?
If Si Yuchen really gave up, then Gu Xiaonuan would no longer believe in so-called true love.
