As if drawn by a magnet, the two fell onto the soft sofa, hugging each other tightly. Their lips pressed passionately together, as if they wanted to merge each other into their bodies.

The kiss became more and more intense, so that both of them gradually fell into an emotional vortex from which they could not extricate themselves, and began to become emotionally aroused uncontrollably.

Just when their passion was about to burn like a flame and a gun was about to go off, suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open and a figure rushed in hurriedly.

It turned out to be Shen Anan. Her face flushed red as she stammered, "I'm... I'm sorry, sir and ma'am! Um... Mr. Fu has been knocking on the door so loudly that I had no choice but to come in and disturb you."

Hearing this, He Li, who was originally immersed in passion, came back to his senses instantly. A trace of displeasure and anger flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

Meanwhile, Gu Yan, who was standing by, seemed relatively calmer. She gently patted the back of He Li's hand and said softly, "It's okay. Let him in."

After saying that, she slowly sat up straight and tidied her messy hair and clothes.

Just three minutes later, Fu Xu appeared in front of them like a gust of wind.

His eyes were instantly drawn to Gu Yan's slightly swollen and flushed lips. As a mature adult, he knew clearly what had happened here just now.

Fu Xu took a deep breath and said to He Li who was standing beside him, "He Li, can you let me talk to Gu Yan alone?"

However, He Li didn't even think about it and answered firmly: "No! Absolutely impossible!"

Hearing this answer, Fu Xu helplessly reached out his hand and gently supported his forehead, then turned his gaze to Gu Yan.

He looked at Gu Yan sincerely and said in an apologetic tone, "Gu Yan, I want to sincerely apologize to you on behalf of my sister. I hope you can be magnanimous and let her go."

As expected, even now, after so many years, when faced with the choice, Fu Xu still chose to favor his relatives without hesitation, just like he had done back then, without any change.

Gu Yan didn't seem surprised or surprised at all about this.

She just stared at Fu Xu quietly, but her beautiful eyes revealed deep hatred at this moment.

After all, the pain caused by that incident was too unforgettable for Gu Yan, and Fu Xu was also to blame.

"Ten years ago, you and I were both victims, but you have no right to tell me what to do. After all, the damage we caused can never be erased. Fu Chuyue must also pay the price, because she deserves to die."

If it were the former Gu Yan, she would never have said such harsh and decisive words no matter what.

At this moment, Fu Xu suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He stared at Gu Yan's face and muttered to himself in disbelief, "You are not Gu Yan!"

"That's right! I'm not that kind-hearted fool like Gu Yan. I always want revenge."

Fu Xu's steps were a little shaken. It turned out that Gu Yan really had a second personality. He didn't believe this news at first, but now after hearing Gu Yan admit it in person, he realized that the hurt he had caused Gu Yan back then was really deep.

He Li, who was standing aside, held Gu Yan's hand tightly. His sharp eyes were like two sharp swords shooting straight at Fu Xu, and his eyes revealed full of hostility and anger without any concealment.

"Mr. Fu, you should find an excellent lawyer for your sister as soon as possible. As for you..."

Ever since He Li learned about the unbearable things that happened back then, he resolutely made up his mind to seek justice for Gu Yan and pay for his blood debt with blood at all costs.

Now, as long as he has this idea, it is simply a pipe dream to want Fu Xu to escape unscathed, and it will never be possible.

"You can do whatever you want with me, but you are absolutely not allowed to touch Chu Yue! She has already received the punishment she deserved. She lay in that hospital bed for eight long years! Isn't such a painful lesson enough? He Li, no matter what, the reason she became like this is because she loved you too much."

These words really sound far-fetched and unreasonable.

Hearing this, He Li's already cold eyes instantly turned icy colder. He opened his thin lips slightly, and uttered words with ruthless determination: "I'm sorry, I simply cannot tolerate such creepy love. From the moment she dared to attack Gu Yan, she should have known what her future would be like."

Fu Xu is now a completely different person. He is no longer the poor student who was penniless, had nothing and was unable to fight back.

To this day, in this vast world, the only person he has left who is his closest relative is Fu Chuyue. So no matter what, even if it means risking everything, even risking his own life, he will do his utmost to protect his only sister.

"He Li, don't push me too far. I will protect my only sister even if I die."

He Li's eyes were as cold as ice, and he exuded a chilling aura. He stood up without hesitation and walked towards Fu Xu with firm and powerful steps. In the blink of an eye, he was beside Fu Xu, leaning down slightly, and bringing his stern face close to Fu Xu's ear.

He Li lowered his voice and said word by word: "Then you can try and see if you can protect her in the end."

Each word seemed to carry a heavy weight, carrying endless determination and majesty.

Fu Xu's heart trembled. Facing such a powerful He Li, he knew this matter would not end well. However, he was unwilling to back down, so he forced himself to remain calm and replied, "As long as Gu Yan is fine, you can't touch my sister." But his words sounded a little weak.

When Fu Xu said this, He Li felt for the first time that Fu Xu was shameless.

"Gu Yan is lucky to be safe. This is no excuse to offend Fu Chuyue. Fu Xu, once upon a time I at least respected you as my opponent, but now it seems that you don't deserve to like her at all!"

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Fu Xu's heart, bringing an indescribable pain. As a love rival, He Li's words were undoubtedly devastating.

Fu Xu slowly turned his head and looked at the woman who had been haunting his dreams - Gu Yan.

At this moment, his heart was filled with contradictions and self-blame. Yes, he loved Gu Yan deeply, but this love seemed so cowardly, hesitant, and even a little selfish.

Thinking of this, Fu Xu couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It turned out that he had always overestimated his feelings for Gu Yan. This so-called love was nothing more than a farce of self-deception.

However, even though he had recognized the reality, Fu Xu still couldn't control his gaze.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, his body seemed to be out of control and he involuntarily cast his gaze again towards Gu Yan who was not far away.

That familiar figure and beautiful face could still easily touch his heartstrings.

But this time, he knew clearly that no matter whether it was the current Gu Yan or the past Gu Yan, he was not qualified to say the word "like".

If you truly love someone, how could you bear to let her go through these hardships? If you truly love someone, you will never allow any person or thing that poses a threat to her to exist in this world.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

Fu Xu stared at Gu Yan, his eyes filled with deep guilt and regret. Finally, he managed to squeeze out a word from the depths of his throat—"I'm sorry."

Although this apology came a full ten years late, it was his most genuine expression of emotion at that moment.

Unfortunately, for Gu Yan now, this belated apology was meaningless. The pain of the past had long been deeply engraved in her heart, and no words could erase those scars.

Although Fu Xu has turned and left, it does not mean that he has given up his determination to protect his sister.

Looking at He Li, who was trembling with anger, Gu Yan approached him with firm steps, gently opened his arms and hugged him tightly, whispering softly, "All the suffering has become a thing of the past. He Li, please don't dwell on it anymore. It's not your fault."

That’s right, Gu Yan knew exactly what He Li was thinking at the moment - he hated everyone who had ever hurt Gu Yan, even himself was not spared.

"He Li, promise me not to attack Fu Chuyue."

Gu Yan knew very well that with He Li's powerful strength, if he really wanted to deal with Fu Chuyue, the other party would definitely be severely punished.

However, Gu Yan's desire was not simply to hide behind He Li's generous and solid attitude and sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. She should use her own strength to reclaim her own hatred. Only then could she completely let go of the past that she could not bear to look back on and truly feel at peace with herself.

Hearing Gu Yan's earnest words, He Li was startled for a moment, then took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging emotions before slowly saying, "Okay, I promise you. But in return, can you also promise me one thing?"

Seeing Gu Yan nod without hesitation, He Li's eyes flashed with relief, and then he continued in a slightly hoarse but affectionate voice: "Come with me to the hospital, okay?"

It turns out that this is He Li’s real purpose today.

The smile on Gu Yan's face disappeared instantly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at He Li returned to being cold.

"He Li, you're really a good actor. To get Gu Yan back, you even took the initiative to sacrifice your looks. Why, do you love her so much?"

He Li subconsciously reached out and tried to grab Gu Yan's arm, wanting to explain something.

However, just as his fingertips touched Gu Yan's sleeve, Gu Yan swung his hand away without hesitation.
