Gu Hanting, who has always been proud, actually showed signs of guilt.

I know my current status and I have no right to ask Gu Hanting for anything, so I can only smile.

"You've helped me a lot, and I'm not ungrateful. I won't do anything you don't let me do."

"That's good."

Leaning on Gu Hanting's chest, feeling his burning heartbeat, I once again remembered how desperate and sad the look in his eyes was when he knew I was dying.

When did he fall deeply in love with "Qiao Xi"?

Gradually, I began to get used to the days when Gu Hanting was always by my side.

The two of us seemed to be living the life of an ordinary couple, but I was the only one who knew that behind those smiles, we were hiding so many secrets.

Today I saw Gu Hanting's assistant come forward again, and I don't know what he said in his ear.

Gu Hanting's expression changed again and again, but he then came forward and touched the ends of my hair.

"Just stay at home and I'll go out for a while."

This is completely different from Gu Hanting who usually keeps me with him. Today, he actually wants to leave me behind.

My intuition told me that it must be something very important.

But since he didn't say anything, I had no right to ask, so I could only nod.

"When are you coming back."

Gu Hanting paused slightly in his movement of turning around, and then showed a hint of uncertainty.

"ASAP."

Standing on the balcony, I watched Gu Hanting's car gradually drive away from the apartment and head toward the city. I collected my thoughts.

What happened!

This feeling of being unable to see or touch anything is so uncomfortable.

I felt as helpless as when I was pressed on the chopping board with my hands and feet tied.

After a while, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

I watched the raindrops falling from high above and landing in the flowerpots on the balcony, giving new life to the dying flowers.

Gu Hanting's Bentley quickly drove to the cemetery in the south of the city.

When he arrived, there were obvious tire tracks on the rainy road.

"Who allowed you to come here?"

This is the cemetery of Qiao Xi’s parents.

The person being questioned was Fu Nanzhou.

Fu Nanzhou stood on the cemetery, his eyes were all bruised. He looked delicate and cool, but now he looked a little sloppy.

"Why are you here if you don't want to go and hold your big baby? Don't you hate her family the most?"

Gu Hanting took a step forward and grabbed Fu Nanzhou's hand, trying to pull him forward with force.

But he didn't expect that Fu Nanzhou, who was only a few centimeters shorter than him, would be so obedient.

It was so compliant and smooth that even Gu Hanting was a little surprised.

"Yes, I hate this family the most!"

Fu Nanzhou looked up at the smiling photo of the two people on the tombstone with a hollow mind, and stood there murmuring over and over again what Gu Hanting had said.

At this time, Gu Hanting also noticed that something seemed to be wrong with Fu Nanzhou.

"Gu Hanting, I'm warning you, get out of this cemetery right now and don't come near it again!"

"It's almost their death anniversary. As their brother, what's wrong with me coming to take a look?"

There was a loud thunder in the sky, and Fu Nanzhou's thoughts seemed to be awakened by the explosion.

He returned to his arrogant state.

He said brothers, but his expression looked so bloodthirsty.

Gu Hanting stepped forward and grabbed Fu Nanzhou’s suit collar.

"Fu Nanzhou, I will definitely investigate everything about Qiao Xi and all of Qiao Xi's relatives. You'd better pray that it has nothing to do with you."

Fu Nanzhou, who had been looking at the tombstone, finally shifted his gaze to Gu Hanting, but it was a pity that there was so much sarcasm on the corners of his mouth.

"Then you'd better check whether all the people related to Qiao Xi are as kind and upright as she is."

Pushing Gu Hanting aside, Fu Nanzhou took a step forward.

He touched the photo on the tombstone again and again, and his smooth nails left some scratches on the white photo.

"You left so easily, without any pain at all. Your daughter tortured me so much that I couldn't sleep well all day and night. You are obviously the executioner!"

"Take him away."

Saying such disrespectful words at the grave of Qiao Xi's parents had completely angered Gu Hanting's patience.

He waved towards the cemetery, and two people immediately came up and held Fu Nanzhou's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.

There was no one else in the cemetery, and Gu Hanting showed no mercy to Fu Nanzhou.

"If you still want to keep your company, then you should be obedient and behave yourself. I won't let you and your big baby show off in front of me anymore. Otherwise... you know what will happen to those companies that go against me."

A cold light flashed in Gu Hanting's eyes, and Fu Nanzhou just looked at him, with a creepy smile appearing from the corner of his mouth from time to time.

He was still muttering to himself until he was caught.

Watching the people walk away, Gu Hanting squatted down, threw down the flowers that Fu Nanzhou brought, and cleared the weeds in front of the grave.

I will give you peace.

"You went to Anyin Cemetery."

It was already dark when Gu Hanting came back. I was quietly waiting for his return on the sofa.

Watching the stopwatch on the clock ticking away, my heart was also tightly drawn to him.

It was not until I heard the sound of the door opening that I immediately rushed out barefoot like an arrow.

"You're worried about me."

Without answering my question, there was a hint of smile in the corner of Gu Hanting's eyes.

"Ah."

Gu Hanting's hands, which smelled of earth, gently touched my hair, just like he did when he left.

"How do you know where I went?"

"The red soil on your shoes is only found in the south of the city. My...Qiao Xi's parents are buried there."

As he stroked my head, he gently stroked my face and lifted my chin.

Gu Hanting's deep eyes almost sucked me in, making me unable to help but fall for him.

"How do you know Qiao Xi so well?"

"Because everything I have is because of her, I should hold on to it."

Gu Hanting's gaze was still as deep as before, revealing an obvious scrutiny. The way he looked at me didn't seem like he was lying, and the pain in my jaw was slightly relieved.

"That's good."

Watching Gu Hanting go in to wash up, he took off his leather shoes covered with red mud at the entrance.

I watched quietly, feeling as if someone had stepped hard on my heart.

It turns out that there are people in this world who care about my parents as much as I do...

Although I didn't have a deep impression of him at first, he protected me and maintained my family ten years later.

It's hard to say I'm not moved.

"Nanzhou! What's wrong with you!"

Su Muyan hasn't been able to contact Fu Nanzhou for several days.

When she finally stopped Fu Nanzhou outside the company, she was still a little reluctant to recognize him.
