Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore

Today was the day Fu Xu was discharged from the hospital. At this moment, the atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became extremely solemn. They looked at each other, and for a moment, no one spoke.

In the end, it was Fu Xu who took the lead in breaking the suffocating silence.

He looked at Gu Yan sincerely and said softly, "Ayan, if you need any help from me, just let me know.

"In fact, Fu Xu has many spies in Jinghai, especially those under his command, most of whom are arranged to pay attention to Gu Yan's every move.

After all, he knew that old man Gu Yihuai was ruthless and might secretly attack Gu Yan one day. Therefore, he was naturally aware of what Gu Yan and He Li were going through.

However, when He Li heard Fu Xu say these words in front of him, he couldn't help but give him a fierce look.

I thought this guy was really nosy, but since he was also concerned about Gu Yan, I couldn't get angry. After a moment's thought, Gu Yan responded, "Okay, if I really need help, I will definitely ask you for help."

Gu Yan unexpectedly took over Fu Xu's words. This action was like a spark splashing into a barrel of gunpowder, instantly igniting the anger in He Li's heart.

He was so angry that his face turned blue and veins bulged on his forehead. He even forgot to hold Gu Yan's soft little hand when he left the elevator.

When He Li personally drove Gu Yan to the private residence, night had already fallen, and the clock pointed to seven o'clock in the evening. The atmosphere in the car seemed to be frozen. The two of them were silent all the way, as if their throats were bound by an invisible force.

This silence did not come from having nothing to say, but from the fact that they suddenly realized that no matter what words they said at this moment, they might become sharp blades that hurt each other's hearts; no matter what opinions they expressed, they might trigger deeper conflicts and harm.

After returning home, He Li walked into the kitchen without saying a word and began to work. Before long, one dish after another, delicious and fragrant, was served on the table.

Gu Yan, like a docile kitten, sat quietly at the table, her eyes somewhat dull. She silently picked up her chopsticks and mechanically picked up the food and put it into her mouth. Every bite seemed filled with bitterness.

The dinner was extremely depressing. The only sounds in the room were the slight clinking of cutlery and the occasional heavy breathing of the two people.

Although the table was filled with delicious food, both of them only took a few symbolic bites before being unable to swallow any more. Their minds had long since drifted away, immersed in their own thoughts.

Finally, the dinner came to an end in a dull atmosphere.

Just as He Li was about to get up to clear the dishes, Gu Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her head and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I want to eat cake. My mouth is so bitter."

Perhaps she was in so much pain that she needed the sweet taste of sweets to soothe her wounded heart.

He Li didn't respond. His eyes dimmed instantly, as if shrouded in a thick haze. He silently stood up, walked to the sink, and skillfully washed the dishes.

The water hit the dishes, making a crisp sound, but this could not break the solemn atmosphere in the room at all.

After washing the dishes, He Li picked up the car keys on the table and walked out of the private residence without looking back.

As the door gently closed, the entire house suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Gu Yan sat there in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, she took a deep breath, tried to calm her chaotic mind, then slowly stood up and began to pick up the items scattered around.

When everything was in order, she took out her cell phone and called her mother, as if she had made up her mind.

Ye Shuang on the other end of the phone seemed to be busy with something. After about a minute, the call was finally connected. Before Gu Yan could speak, Ye Shuang's slightly apologetic and anxious voice came from the phone: "I'm sorry, Xiaoyan, it's my fault. I'm sorry."

Gu Yan was slightly stunned. She didn't expect her mother's first reaction to be to apologize to her.

From Ye Shuang's tone, it can be heard that she has obviously woken up and is fully aware of everything that has happened.

"mom……"

Gu Yan was about to comfort her mother and tell her it was okay, but she swallowed the words back when they reached her lips. Because she knew very well in her heart, how could this matter not be okay?

She felt extremely heartbroken, as if a sharp knife was constantly cutting her heart.

"Mom, what should I do? What should A Li do? What should we do?" Gu Yan's voice trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Ye Shuang on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said again: "Xiao Yan, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Mom didn't mean it, I'm sorry."

Her voice was filled with regret and self-blame, which made Gu Yan feel mixed emotions.

Gu Yan knew very well that she must not continue to be so fragile at this moment, otherwise if Ye Shuang's illness relapsed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her surging emotions, and then said in a calm and gentle tone, "Mom, please don't think like that. This is not your fault at all! Let's not talk about it anymore, okay? I have something urgent to do right now and can't go back for the time being, but you must take good care of yourself and listen to the doctor's advice. In two days, as soon as I finish my work, I will go home to see you."

Ye Shuang's hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Yan, actually, Mom has been hiding something in my heart and wants to tell you, but I'm worried that you will blame me after I tell you..."

Hearing her mother's words, Gu Yan couldn't help but feel surprised, and hurriedly asked anxiously: "Mom, don't think too much, no matter what happened, even if you really did something wrong, I will never blame you! Tell me quickly!"

However, just when Ye Shuang was about to speak, the words that were on the tip of her tongue seemed to be suddenly pulled back by an invisible force. No matter how hard she tried to recall them, she just couldn't remember them.

In the end, Ye Shuang could only say to Gu Yan with an apologetic look on her face: "Xiao Yan, I don't know what happened to Mom. I suddenly forgot everything I wanted to say. But it doesn't matter. I will definitely write it down on paper when I remember it next time."

Gu Yan thought, maybe what her mother wanted to say were just some insignificant and trivial things.

So, the mother and daughter chatted about family matters for a while, gave each other some advice and concern, and then hung up the phone.

After Gu Yan hung up the phone, it took her a long time to realize, as if she had just woken up from a dream, that He Li had already returned.

He just stood there quietly, like a silent sculpture, holding an exquisite cake box in his hand.

He Li still said nothing, but quietly placed the cake on the table.

Then, he turned around and took a step, as if preparing to go straight up the stairs. At this moment, Gu Yan quickly reached out and grabbed He Li's sleeve tightly.

Her voice was low and full of emotion: "Are you really going to never speak to me again in your life?"

He Li stopped, but he didn't turn around immediately.

After a moment, his slightly cold voice slowly came over: "I'm afraid that as soon as I open my mouth, you'll be eager to bring up the matter of divorce from me. Ah Yan, I know very well that this situation is undoubtedly extremely painful for you, but isn't it the same for me? However, at least until we find a proper solution, please don't say the word 'divorce' so easily, okay?"

Hearing these words, Gu Yan felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She knew very well that it was the decisive words she had said in the hospital that deeply hurt He Li's passionate heart.

So, she nodded gently, a hint of guilt and determination flashing in her eyes: "Okay, I promise you, I will never mention this matter so carelessly again. Also, no matter how our relationship changes in the future, at least in my heart, you will always be the most important person."

He Li finally couldn't resist the impulse in his heart. He gently reached out his hand and gently stroked Gu Yan's soft hair, as if this touch could convey all his care and comfort.

Then, he slowly turned around and left the room with heavy steps, leaving Gu Yan sitting quietly at the table alone.

Gu Yan stared at the exquisite cake on the table in front of her, her eyes revealing a hint of hesitation and struggle. After a long while, as if she had made up her mind, she carefully opened the cake box.

When she saw the exquisite pastries inside, she pursed her lips slightly, picked up the small spoon, and began to eat it bite by bite. Each bite was full of sweetness, but as time went on, her eating speed became slower and slower, and finally she even had difficulty swallowing.

However, she did not stop and insisted on eating the whole cake until her stomach was bloated and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Before this, whenever Gu Yan faced various pressures in life, she always chose to bear it silently, burying all the pain and grievances deep in her heart.

Or maybe she could release her inner depression through exercise and let the sweat wash away all her worries. But what happened this time was too heavy for Gu Yan, far beyond her limit of endurance.

In this way, the two spent three full days together in this private residence.

During these three days, they had hardly left this small space, only occasionally exchanging a few insignificant words. Meanwhile, the outside world continued to churn, not stopping at all because of their stillness.
