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

He Li looked at the person in his arms in a daze, and couldn't help but wonder if he was hallucinating.

However, the warm and soft body, the familiar touch, and the sweet fragrance lingering on his nose all made him sure that all this was real.

At this moment, the two hugged each other tightly, as if time had stopped and there were only them in the whole world.

Just as the two were immersed in this inseparable warmth, He Li's hand accidentally touched the light switch beside him.

Instantly, bright light flooded the room, jolting the two, who had been immersed in an ambiguous atmosphere, back to reality. The sudden brightness instantly sobered them up, and when their eyes met, a hint of surprise and embarrassment flashed in both of theirs.

He Li looked down at Gu Yan in his arms. The beautiful face was so close to him that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

At this moment, a strong consciousness suddenly surged from the depths of Gu Yan's heart - she understood that at this moment she should push away the man named He Li in front of her.

After all, what they were doing was undoubtedly wrong! However, as if by telepathy, just as Gu Yan was about to take action, He Li seemed to suddenly remember something. He lowered his head slightly and, without hesitation, kissed Gu Yan's tender lips again.

You know, in a short while, Gu Yan will become Gong Jin's wife and officially enter the marriage palace. By then, all the sweet memories and heartbreaking pain she and He Li once had will be completely buried in their memories along with the grand wedding.

He Li has always believed that with his extremely strong self-control, he can control the situation well and make all emotions obey the command of reason.

But what he never expected was that when he truly faced Gu Yan's stunningly beautiful face and felt the alluring aura she emanated, he realized with shock that all his confidence and pride seemed so vulnerable. In the face of love, He Li had to admit that no matter how hard he tried, he was always a complete loser.

Gu Yan was held tightly in He Li's arms. His hot and overbearing aura hit her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. At this moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze, and even the oxygen in the air seemed to become extremely thin.

However, surprisingly, even though Gu Yan knew that this behavior was against moral ethics, her body could not help but respond to He Li's closeness. That feeling was like a burning flame, constantly devouring her reason and reserve, making her sink into it and unable to extricate herself.

"No... I can't do this..." Gu Yan struggled desperately in her heart, trying to wake up her lost soul. She knew that she was walking step by step towards the abyss. If she didn't stop, it would bring endless pain and disaster to everyone.

Just as He Li was trying to take this forbidden love to the next level, Gu Yan finally used her last bit of sanity and bit herself hard with all her strength! Instantly, blood gushed out of the wound, and the strong smell of blood filled their mouths.

It was this sudden, sharp pain that jolted He Li awake as if struck by lightning. He stared at Gu Yan, whose face was covered in tears, with wide eyes, his heart filled with regret and self-blame.

Filled with remorse, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard. The crisp sound echoed in the silent room, seeming particularly abrupt.

"I'm sorry, I was distracted by love." He Li said with a guilty look on his face, his voice trembling slightly.

Before he could finish his words, fearing he'd lose control again, he quickly turned and dashed towards the bathroom. Once inside, he quickly turned on the showerhead, letting the cold water wash over his burning face. Water splashed everywhere, soaking his hair and clothes, but he paid no mind, intent on calming himself down as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, Gu Yan, who remained in the bedroom, didn't feel angry or aggrieved by He Li's sudden departure. On the contrary, as intelligent as she was, based on what Huo Bingci had said on the phone earlier, she quickly guessed that He Li's loss of composure was likely due to drugging. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but worry about He Li.

After a quick shower, He Li finally felt a bit more sane. He slowly turned off the faucet, took a deep breath, and then dried his body and hair with a towel. When he walked out of the bathroom, he saw Gu Yan standing at the door, waiting for him with a look of concern on her face.

"Why are you here? Don't you know you're getting married soon? A bride should stay home and prepare for the wedding instead of running around like this! If someone sees you, your reputation will be ruined!"

He Li's words came coldly, as if carrying a layer of frost, instantly widening the distance between the two to thousands of miles.

When Gu Yan heard this, she knew in her heart that everything the other person said was reasonable, but emotionally she felt very aggrieved.

She widened her eyes, staring straight at He Li's expressionless face, and her voice unconsciously rose an octave: "Boss He, what you said is really interesting! You have been pestering me before, and now I have finally confirmed that I am Gu Yan, but you are pretending that nothing happened. Do you really want to watch me and Gong Jin get married like this! "

Gu Yan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but her eyes couldn't help but redden. She bit her lip and continued, "I'm a human being too. I have feelings and consciousness! All I long for is to find out what truth lies hidden in my lost past. Although I desperately want to know the answer, I find that I simply don't have the courage or ability to face it..." At the end, Gu Yan's voice trembled slightly, and tears finally rolled down her cheeks.

A week ago, when He Li heard Gu Yan's heartfelt words, he would have undoubtedly confessed to her all the pain and suffering he'd endured over the years. But now, he could only clench his fists tightly, swallowing back the words that were about to burst out. He knew that he couldn't be so selfish anymore, and he couldn't let his impulsive actions bring further harm and trouble to Gu Yan.

"Are you going to tell me that you, as Gong Jin's fiancée, are suddenly aware of your love for me surging like a tide and spreading uncontrollably at this crucial moment when you are about to enter the marriage hall? Gu Yan, Gu Yan, you have to think about it carefully before you speak. This kind of thing is not something you can joke about! Are you really sure that this feeling is not a momentary impulse or an illusion?" He Li stared at Gu Yan with burning eyes, mercilessly forcing her to face the secret and unspeakable emotions deep in her heart.

In fact, he knew better than anyone that such direct and sharp questioning would only make Gu Yan feel ashamed and even drive her further away from him. However, at this moment, he no longer cared about so much. What he wanted was for Gu Yan to hate him. Only by hating him would she stay away from him. Only by staying away from him would Gu Yan live a stable life.

Gu Yan's face instantly turned pale, her lips trembling slightly. She seemed to want to say something to refute He Li, but the words were swallowed back. After a long while, she stammered, "I... I didn't. Don't talk nonsense! How could I possibly fall in love with you? I just..." However, even she herself didn't know how to continue making up stories, because she really couldn't find even a slightly reasonable excuse to cover up her already panicked heart.

He Li's figure was like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he had quietly appeared beside Gu Yan. He stared at the woman in front of him quietly, his heart filled with mixed emotions, because he knew that this might be the last chance for him to talk with her so closely.

"Then why were you so intoxicated with kissing me just now? Gu Yan, could it be that you were not satisfied with Gong Jin?" He Li's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Gu Yan's heart.

With a crisp "slap," the room reverberated with the sound of a slap. Gu Yan's eyes widened as she stared at He Li in disbelief. She had never expected him to utter such unbearable words. Her body trembled slightly with anger, and her hands nearly lost control.

He Li knew that what he had just said was too extreme, too much, but if he didn't act decisively, he wouldn't be able to completely sever other people's thoughts and hopes. At this moment, even though he felt a hint of guilt, he still pretended to be indifferent.

"Everyone should have self-knowledge. You've warned me many times that there's only room for Gong Jin in your eyes and heart, so why should I bother myself? As you said, if you really loved me, why would you fall in love with someone else after forgetting me? And I, He Li, also have self-respect. Why should I compete with Gong Jin for you, who doesn't have me in your heart? Perhaps, we don't love each other that much."

When it comes to saying harsh words, both of them are experts at it. They both know exactly what to say to stab the other person in the heart. He Li has tried his best to use a more tactful tone.

"Yes, you are right. Don't say that I have forgotten you and don't love you anymore. Even if I remember you one day, I will never come back to your side because you are a coward. You don't dare to face yourself honestly."

Gu Yan almost ran out of the room crying, and He Li, who was standing there, felt no better than her.

"I'm sorry, Ayan, I can't let you die."

The corners of He Li's eyes had begun to turn red. He thought that as long as he could keep Gu Yan alive, all the storms in life would tilt towards him. He could even fall into hell forever as long as his Gu Yan was happy.
