The warmth between the two did not last long. Just when they were in love, He Li's cell phone suddenly rang with a clear and pleasant ringtone at an inopportune time.

"You answer the phone first." Gu Yan blushed and gently pushed He Li. Her face was already red from the kiss, and if it weren't for this call, she would probably have fallen here today.

He Li was obviously reluctant to stop, but the phone kept ringing and he realized that there might be something important that needed to be dealt with.

He took out his phone and checked the caller ID. He found that it was from He's house. He frowned, a little confused, wondering why his family would call at this time. But he still quickly answered the phone: "Hello?"

He Li's call lasted about five or six minutes. After it ended, he pulled Gu Yan into his arms.

"what happened?"

Gu Yan couldn't help but ask, fearing that something urgent had happened in He Li's home.

He Li just touched Gu Yan's hair and said, "My eldest brother went abroad and left in a hurry."

Although the doctors here have already done a comprehensive examination, it is only by confirming it abroad that people can feel completely at ease.

"Is it too late to send it now?"

Gu Yan could see that in He Li's heart, his elder brother occupied a very important position.

He Li shook his head and said, "Time is too tight. By the time I got to the airport, the plane had already taken off."

Gu Yan said with some regret: "That's such a pity that we didn't get to meet."

He Li sighed softly, "It's okay, see you when big brother comes back."

Gu Yan nodded. She knew He Li’s worry and reluctance, but she also understood that some things could not be changed.

He Li hugged Gu Yan tightly, as if to draw strength from her.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Gu Yan comforted softly.

He Li looked at Gu Yan gratefully, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

"Thank you for always being there for me," he whispered.

Gu Yan responded with a smile: "We are a family, of course we have to support each other."

The two hugged each other, feeling each other's warmth, and spent this somewhat lost moment together.

Unfortunately, the two people at this time did not know that the calm sea would eventually usher in even more terrifying storms.

"By the way, what are you going to do with Bai Xiner?" Gu Yan suddenly asked.

Gu Yan didn't mean anything else when she said this, but He Li mistakenly thought that Gu Yan was jealous, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

His fingers gently traced the bridge of Gu Yan's nose, and he said softly, "It's safer to keep some people under your watch. Don't worry, I have no interest in anyone other than you in this life."

Gu Yan wasn't the type to be easily fooled by sweet talk. She glared at He Li in mock anger, "Don't give me that! I've seen how much you care about Bai Xiner! And..."

Gu Yan paused, her expression becoming serious. "Two of my friends have been innocently implicated because of me. Ah Li, I can't just sit back and watch. I should go and clean up this mess."

"I was furious at the time. When I thought you were really going to leave me, I completely lost my judgment. Wu Zhenzhen is safe now. She's at Wu's parents' house. Wu Liang doesn't dare and doesn't want to hurt her. As for your other friend, I've already arranged for her to work at another company."

He Li's words gave Gu Yan great comfort.

"Ayan, I'm not a good person, so please don't leave me. I'm afraid I'll turn into a demon."

He Li hugged Gu Yan tightly, his voice low and hoarse, as if filled with endless paranoia and tyranny. His eyes were full of aggression and ambition. Apart from Gu Yan, there would never be another person in his heart.

Gu Yan felt He Li's body trembling, and she gently stroked his back, trying to give him some comfort. However, He Li hugged her tighter, as if he was afraid that she would disappear at any time.

He Li slowly raised his head and stared into Gu Yan's eyes, tears glistening in them. He took a deep breath and then whispered, "Ah Yan, I really love you. I know I'm not a good person. For the past seven years, we've been separated by too much strangeness and absurdity. My past is filled with darkness and sin. I've hurt many people, and I'm no longer as pure and clear as I used to be. But since we met again, everything has changed. You've shown me the beauty of life and given me the courage to start over. I also realized that I can never leave you again."

Gu Yan listened quietly to He Li's words, and a feeling of emotion welled up in her heart. She knew that He Li had been working hard to change himself, and that he was actually very kind in his heart. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of He Li's eyes and said softly: "He Li, I know, I know everything. No matter whether you are good or bad, no matter whether your heart is clean or dirty, I will always be with you. Your past has not been easy, but that is not your fault. Everyone makes mistakes, and the important thing is to learn from them and grow. I love you, and no matter what your past is like, I will always be by your side."

When He Li heard Gu Yan's words, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashed in his eyes. He nodded vigorously and held Gu Yan's hand tightly. He knew that he had finally found the person who could let down his guard and mask, the person who could let him truly be himself.

He Li embraced Gu Yan again and whispered, "Thank you, A Yan. Thank you for giving me a second chance, thank you for accepting someone like me who is covered in scars. I will spend my whole life guarding you, protecting you, and making you happy forever."

Gu Yan leaned on He Li's shoulder, feeling his warm embrace. She knew that although their love had experienced many twists and turns, it had finally come together. She believed that as long as they supported each other and faced the challenges of the future together, they would be able to create a beautiful future.

As expected, the next morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains into the room. Gu Yan picked up her phone and found an unread text message. She opened it and saw it was from Zhao Qingqing, informing her that she had successfully landed a job at a new energy company. The job description was similar to her previous job at Haisheng Group, but the salary was three times higher!

Gu Yan was extremely surprised by the news. She immediately replied to Zhao Qingqing with a big congratulations expression and wished her all the best in her new working environment.

It can be said that Zhao Qingqing's experience was a blessing in disguise. Not only did she find a well-paid job, but she also had more opportunities for development in her new field. However, more importantly, she met the love of her life here. Although this is a story for later, fate is always full of wonderful arrangements.

Meanwhile, Gu Yan had also obtained Wu Zhenzhen's latest contact information from other sources. She eagerly dialed the number, eager to hear her friend's voice. A familiar voice came from the other end, and the two began chatting about their recent lives. After half an hour of conversation, Gu Yan could sense that Wu Zhenzhen was doing well and in a good mood.

"Yanyan, thank you for your continued concern, but please don't worry, I'm doing very well now. After returning to the Wu family, I have received the love and care of my family, and everything is going well. We are friends, but more importantly, confidants, supporting and understanding each other. I hope you won't regard me as a burden or an encumbrance, but trust that I can take care of myself. That way, you can pursue your own happiness without any worries."

Wu Zhenzhen's words were like a warm spring breeze, waving away Gu Yan's worries. She understood deeply that true friendship wasn't built on dragging each other down, but on supporting each other and growing together. So, she decided to stop worrying about Wu Zhenzhen and instead focus on her own life, striving to create a better future.

It's very strange. Ever since she and He Li had a heart-to-heart talk last night, Gu Yan has been thinking about He Li all day, especially the "I love you" he said before he left this morning, which almost melted Gu Yan's heart.

In fact, Gu Yan has always liked He Li, but for various reasons, she has been suppressing her feelings. But now, she feels like her feelings are like a ignited flame that can no longer be suppressed.

I finally made it to night, but He Li still showed no sign of coming back.

After much hesitation, Gu Yan finally called He Li's number, but it rang for a long time without anyone answering. This made Gu Yan start to worry. Where had He Li gone? Why didn't he answer the phone? Did something happen?

Many inappropriate thoughts popped up in Gu Yan's mind: was He Li in trouble? Did Gu Yihuai and Fu Xu do something to him? These thoughts made her more and more scared and uneasy.

She began to regret why she didn't go out with He Li today.

Waiting foolishly was not Gu Yan's style, so she went back to her room, put on a coat, and went out directly. However, she didn't expect that when she just went out, she saw He Li who was late.

Gu Yan's eyes instantly filled with surprise and joy. Without hesitation, she rushed over, like a bird returning to its nest, wishing she could cling to He Li with her entire body, never to be separated again. She hugged He Li tightly, feeling his warmth and presence, and her longing and anticipation were finally satisfied.

He Li held Gu Yan with one hand, fearing that she would fall.

"what happened?"

"I miss you so much, A-Li."

Under normal circumstances, He Li would have kissed her long ago, but today there was another person in the car besides him.

"Me too, but we can't hug anymore."

"Am I too heavy?"

Gu Yan struggled to get down, which made He Li laugh.

"Silly boy, of course not. I brought the person you've been thinking about day and night."

It was not until this time that Gu Yan discovered that there was someone sitting in He Li's car.

"mom."
