"Gu Yuan, you said... Does love require hurt? Why do you want to make me sad before loving me?"

Jiang Ning and Gu Yuan took his CEO's private elevator up to the 88th floor, where they could see the river view from the window.

Jiang Ning had been acting unwell on the way back from the hospital. Gu Yuan was already very nervous, fearing that she had been upset. When he heard Jiang Ning say this, his heart tightened even more, and sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.

"How come? Why do you think so?"

Gu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed Jiang Ning's head, but Jiang Ning dodged him.

"You too, my dad too. When I was a kid, he always forced me to do things I didn't want to do, and then asked my brother to apologize. Only when he apologized did I feel I had some value. I feel that this makes me very uncomfortable, you know?"

"Don't think of yourself like that. You are great, really. It's just that living in such a family is too depressing and it's hard to see the light, so you think they love you when they say something nice to you. Real love is not like that."

"What about you? Why did you treat me well after rejecting me? Are you trying to make it up to me?"

Gu Yuan smiled helplessly. He never knew that Jiang Ning actually thought this way. But it was good to know it now. He could free her from that kind of thinking as soon as possible.

"Just like what you told me when I first started pursuing you, whether I love you or not is my own business. People are fickle. I firmly believe that we both love each other, but we just loved each other at the wrong time. We are all adults now and must be responsible for our own emotions. We can't say we like each other against our conscience. It's very likely that when you liked me before, I wasn't really attracted to you, but now, I find that I'm in love with you again."

The gentle tone gradually soothed Jiang Ning's inner anxiety, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

Perhaps she felt that her behavior just now was a bit unreasonable. Jiang Ning was embarrassed to face Gu Yuan again. She turned her head to look outside the elevator and did not say another word to Gu Yuan until she went upstairs.

"I asked Auntie to come in and clean the room. Auntie has already bought you brand new toiletries. If you need anything else, just ask. At least don't go out until you are completely clean. You will be fine here with me."

Gu Yuan spoke first to break the silence.

"Okay, where are you sleeping tonight?"

"Of course I sleep in the same bed with you."

"what?"

Jiang Ning stepped back for a moment, with tears still on her face, and her appearance made Gu Yuan want to laugh.

"Look how scared you are. Don't worry, I won't go in. You can sleep by yourself. This is my territory. How can there be no place for me to sleep?"

"Oh, is that so? I'll go in first then. Good night."

"Good night."

It was already very late at night and everything was quiet all around. Jiang Ning did not fall asleep after returning home. She was very tired, but her mind was still out of control and she was having wild thoughts.

"Click——"

The door seemed to be pushed open by someone. Jiang Ning looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Gu Yuan.

"What are you doing in here!?"

Gu Yuan obviously didn't expect that Jiang Ning was still awake, which scared him.

"Huh, you scared me, why aren't you asleep yet? I came here to bring you a bed and quilt. It's snowing outside, and the air conditioner in this room doesn't work very well. I'm afraid you'll be cold."

"I can not sleep."

Gu Yuan spread the quilt over her and sat down next to her. He didn't turn on the lights when he came in. The two seemed to be more comfortable talking in the dark than in the daytime.

"So do you have something unfinished? If you are so anxious, you have to tell me or express it. Otherwise, I don't know how to comfort you."

"That's right...that's right...I'm still worried about the future, especially my father's time bomb. I don't know what kind of trouble he will cause in the future. I'm scared, Gu Yuan."

Gu Yuan wrapped Jiang Ning in a quilt and put his arms around her, trying his best to make her feel safe.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, I'm here, I'm always on your side. Just believe me, everything will be fine, okay?"

Gu Yuan coaxed her patiently and prayed silently in his heart that no accidents would happen again. Her heart could not withstand too many twists and turns now. Even Gu Yuan, who was all-powerful, could not relieve her heart.

Slowly, Jiang Ning finally felt sleepy and fell asleep in Gu Yuan's arms.

It was already afternoon when Jiang Ning woke up. She got up and found that there was no one around her. She packed up briefly and went out. She saw a folder on Gu Yuan's desk. She didn't want to read it at first, but the cover was too eye-catching, so she had to pay attention to it - "Anti-Black Water Army Purchase Contract".

Jiang Ning couldn't suppress his curiosity and opened the first page. The title page clearly stated the details of the money Jiang Ning used in this whitewashing incident.

It records in detail the whereabouts of every sum of money, from the purchase of the Internet army in the beginning to the purchase of her father later, a total of hundreds of millions were spent.

"have time?"

Jiang Ning thought about it but couldn't find anyone to talk to, so she finally went to find Lin Zhi, the only person she could trust.

"What's wrong? What happened again?" Lin Zhi replied almost immediately. She was worried about Jiang Ning. "You want my help?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask why you haven't contacted me for a while."

"Oh, it was Gu Yuan who didn't let us look for you. He said he wanted you to have a good rest for a while, and specifically told us not to disturb you."

"Then he really has good intentions. How much did you spend in total?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Nothing, just curious."

"I don't know the details, because it was all paid for by Gu Yuan. Your problem will be over soon. He spent a lot of money. If you ask me, you have a good eye for men. At least he has money to spend on you, unlike some people, tut tut tut."

"Okay, thank you for your help. Bye."

After Jiang Ning hung up the phone, she still felt restless and wanted to go find Gu Yuan.

Under the guidance of her aunt, she groped her way to the conference room downstairs. She couldn't hear what they were saying because of the frosted glass. She could only see Gu Yuan analyzing the market. He had spent too much time and money on her, and she didn't know how he recovered.

After listening for a while, seeing that the meeting showed no sign of ending, Jiang Ning went back. Along the way, people looked at her strangely. When she looked in the mirror, Jiang Ning looked left and right but couldn't figure out what was wrong with herself.

"What are they looking at..."

Jiang Ning looked at herself in the mirror, and was lost in thought. She thought back to when she was a child, she was beaten by her father because she looked in the mirror instead of doing anything. But now, things have changed.

If my childhood self saw myself now, she would definitely be very happy. Not only has she walked out of the darkness, but she is also welcoming her own dawn.
