Sweet Pet: Xiao Ye's Reborn Little Wife

Chapter 74 They are drifting away

Amidst the bustling metropolis, the collaboration between Yumo Group and Feilan Group is in full swing, a dazzling performance on the city's commercial stage. Inside the towering office buildings, people bustle about, the clatter of shuffling documents and the click of keyboards interweave to create a vibrant business symphony.

However, behind this seemingly smooth business cooperation, there lies a heartbreaking emotional entanglement, like a deep crack hidden under the gorgeous brocade.

Lin Yue and Gu Ran, they were once so close, like the brightest stars in each other's lives. In those beautiful days, they strolled together in the park under the sunset, holding hands, sharing each other's dreams and aspirations.

At that time, the air in the park was filled with the fragrance of green grass, and the breeze gently brushed their cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. Lin Yue raised her head slightly and looked at Gu Ran, with a glimmer of expectation in her eyes: "Gu Ran, do you think we will always be happy like this in the future?" Her voice was soft and gentle, as if with a hint of uneasiness.

Gu Ran stopped, turned around, and held Lin Yue's hand tightly. His eyes were full of determination: "I definitely will, Yueyue. We will go through every spring, summer, autumn and winter together." His words were like a warm current, flowing into Lin Yue's heart.

Their eyes met, and it was as if time stood still at that moment. Lin Yue felt Gu Ran's love and determination, and her heart was filled with warmth and peace of mind. At that moment, she believed that their love would remain unchanged, no matter what difficulties and challenges they faced in the future.

They sat together in a cozy cafe, facing each other, their eyes filled with tenderness and love. Those beautiful memories, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, illuminated their past years.

However, fate inadvertently changed everything, and as time went on, their lives also changed dramatically.

Now, the relationship between the two is like a frozen river, cold and stiff, and the distance between them is getting farther and farther. All these changes originated from Su Yao's visit.

Su Yao, the mysterious woman, appeared like a sudden storm, shattering the tranquility. Her words, like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, stirred up a huge wave in Lin Yue's heart. Those words, like sharp arrows, pierced the softest part of Lin Yue's heart.

From then on, Lin Yue seemed to have built a high wall around her heart. That wall was impenetrable, isolating her from the outside world, especially from Gu Ran. When facing Gu Ran, her eyes were filled with calmness and focus, as if their relationship was purely professional and nothing more.

In every meeting and every exchange, Lin Yue enveloped herself in a professional shell, like a warrior in armor. Her expression was serious and earnest, her words concise and powerful, as if only work could bring her a sense of security.

Gu Ran stared at the cold Lin Yue before him, his heart aching as if being gnawed by millions of ants. His eyes were filled with helplessness and pain. He missed the gentle and smiling Lin Yue of the past, and the wonderful times they had spent together. Back then, Lin Yue's smile was like the brightest flower in spring, instantly melting the ice and snow in his heart.

Yet, at that moment, Lin Yue seemed a different person, a stranger to Gu Ran. She deliberately kept her distance from him, as if he were a dangerous person. Gu Ran repeatedly tried to approach her, hoping to break the suffocating silence, but each effort was in vain. "Lin Yue, can we sit down and talk calmly?" Gu Ran summoned the courage to stop Lin Yue after a meeting.

Lin Yue slowly raised her head and stared at him with cold eyes: "Mr. Gu, apart from our work relationship, there is nothing else to talk about." After she finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Gu Ran hurriedly grabbed her arm and said, "Lin Yue, don't leave yet. Listen to me. Things are not what you think."

Lin Yue suddenly broke free from his hand: "Mr. Gu, please respect yourself. I am no longer interested in any explanation from you." Then she left without looking back.

"Lin Yue!" Gu Ran shouted loudly behind her, but Lin Yue did not pause at all.

Gu Ran helplessly watched her departing figure, his heart filled with despair. He tried countless times to find Lin Yue to explain, to break the suffocating silence. However, Lin Yue simply refused to see him. Every time he tried to get closer, Lin Yue would find various excuses to avoid him. He didn't know how to find an opportunity to talk to Lin Yue, or how to untie the knot in her heart.

In the company's corridor, Gu Ran watched Lin Yue from afar. The familiar figure felt strange to him. His heart felt like it was being grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe.

He wanted so badly to rush over, hold her hand, and tell her what was in his heart, but he could only stand there helplessly, watching her gradually walk away. Tears flashed in his eyes, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, unable to make a sound.

His heart was filled with regret and self-blame. Recalling every detail of the past, he realized how foolish he had been. Why hadn't he cherished her? Why hadn't he explained those misunderstandings in a timely manner? Why had he repeatedly caused her heartbreak and disappointment? These questions swirled in his mind, tormenting his soul.

"Yueyue, why can't you just listen to my explanation?" Gu Ran muttered to himself, his voice filled with despair and helplessness. He knew it was too late to say anything now. He had lost her, and with her, he had lost his most precious thing. But he refused to give up. He decided to prove his sincerity with his actions. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would fight to get her back.

In the office, Lin Yue focused on the documents in her hands, trying not to think about Gu Ran. But wasn't she also in pain? Her heart felt like it was being stabbed by thousands of sharp blades, and every breath was filled with deep pain. But she was afraid of being hurt again, afraid that the good times she once had were just an illusion. She could only numb herself with work, to forget the pain in her heart.

Gu Ran, on the other hand, spent his days immersed in pain and helplessness. He couldn't understand why everything had turned out this way. He tried to find answers in his memories, trying to find a way to make Lin Yue accept him again. He recalled every moment they had spent together, every smile, every glance. He remembered the vows they had made, the promises they had made. But every effort fell on deaf ears, with no response.

One day, Gu Ran was handling company affairs when he suddenly received an urgent meeting notice. He hurried to the meeting room, but found that he had forgotten to bring the documents.

So he hurried back to the office to get the documents. When he walked into the elevator, he found another person inside - Lin Yue.

There were only the two of them in the elevator, and the atmosphere was particularly awkward and depressing. Gu Ran took a deep breath and tried to break the silence: "Lin Yue..." However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Lin Yue.

"Mr. Gu, please don't talk about personal matters in the workplace." Her voice was cold and firm, and there was a hint of indifference in her eyes.

Gu Ran opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but he felt he had no idea where to begin. He realized how stiff and unfamiliar their relationship had become. Sweet memories of the past flooded back to him, but now he could only watch him leave in silence.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Lin Yue walked out without hesitation, leaving without looking back. Gu Ran was left standing alone in the elevator, feeling lost and helpless. He couldn't help but think of the time he had spent with Lin Yue. Those beautiful memories were now a distant memory.

After returning to the office, Gu Ran sat at his desk, unable to calm down for a long time. He knew that their relationship had been broken and could no longer be saved. But he still hoped to find a way to make up for the past mistakes and win Lin Yue's heart again.

The cooperation between Yumo Group and Feilan Group continued, but the distance between Lin Yue and Gu Ran grew wider and wider. They were like two lonely stars, each twinkling in the vast universe, unable to get closer to each other.

Where will they go from here? Will they continue to drift apart in this cold silence, or will they find the key to resolve their misunderstandings and rediscover the warmth and beauty they once had? All of this remains unknown...
