Night Fire Lingering

Gu Yanci felt a tenderness in his heart.

He stood by the bed, silently squatted down, and stared at Wen Yan as if he were looking at some rare treasure.

He lifted Wen Yan's wrist, kissed the back of her hand, kissed the corner of her lips, picked up the scar removal cream he had brought in, and gently applied it to Wen Yan's wound.

"Hey."

The woman murmured softly in her sleep, as if disturbed, her brows furrowing slightly.

Gu Yanci stopped what he was doing, waited for her to calm down, and continued applying the medicine.

Throughout the entire process, his expression remained calm. During the dozen or so seconds that Wen Yan made a move, he watched quietly and waited.

Gu Yanci even hoped that Wen Yan would wake up.

He was curious about her reaction when she saw him successfully enter her locked room in the middle of the night, and he was somewhat looking forward to her being sarcastic or even angry with him.

Because at times like these, he's the only person she sees.

Suddenly, Wen Yan turned over.

The blanket was half-open, revealing the woman's undergarments—a white shirt.

It's a white shirt that Gu Yanci left here as a spare!

Gu Yanci noticed that the shirt collar was slightly open, revealing Wen Yan's fair skin and sexy collarbone.

Below her collarbone, there was a slight, raised curve...

The man's breathing suddenly became hot, his Adam's apple bobbed, his throat tightened slightly, and his eyes turned dark.

My whole body felt hot, and my blood was rushing downwards uncontrollably.

……

The next day.

When Wen Yan opened her eyes, she was in a daze at the unfamiliar surroundings. It took her a few seconds to remember where she was.

She glanced at the door instinctively; it was closed.

There was nothing unusual about her.

Wen Yan breathed a silent sigh of relief and got up to wash up.

Just as Wen Yan was about to step out of the bathroom, she stopped in her tracks!

She looked at the trash can and saw that it contained several wads of tissues.

This... wasn't lost by her!

There were some suspicious marks on the tissue. Wen Yan, being an experienced person, subconsciously overthought things, but then felt that her thoughts were a bit too far-fetched.

Wen Yan paused for a few seconds at the door of the room before reaching out to open it.

The door remained locked from the inside.

She breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.

Gu Yanci was off work today, dressed in a casual T-shirt, and was looking at something on her iPad.

Noticing Wen Yan's suspicious gaze, the man looked at her and asked: "Hmm?"

Wen Yan looked away, pretending nothing had happened.

Seafood porridge and shrimp dumplings are already prepared on the table.

Wen Yan bit the tip of the spoon, her thoughts wandering—

It can't really be that Gu Yanci did something in her bathroom... right?

If it really is him, is something wrong with his head, going to her room... um.

Since they're all his own Thumbelina devices, he could just press them in the bathroom outside. There's no reason for him to go to her room specifically.

"Wen Zhizhi," Gu Yanci suddenly tapped the table, reminding the woman opposite him, "Don't get distracted while eating."

Wen Yan suddenly came to her senses, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

The last time she was told this was when she was around ten years old, and it was Gu Yanci who taught her the same thing.

She really is... her mind is full of dirty thoughts first thing in the morning, all because of those few wads of paper!

It's all Gu Yanci's fault!

Gu Yanci looked at her slightly flushed cheeks and remembered himself in the bathroom last night, looking at her on the bed...

When Madam Gu saw Wen Yan and Gu Yanci enter the ward together, her eyes crinkled with joy.

Other members of the Gu family came to visit Old Madam Gu one after another. When they saw Wen Yan, they were all stunned, and then looked at Gu Yanci, who was sitting on the sofa next to her reading documents.

Wait, didn't they say Gu Yanci and Wen Yan were getting a divorce?

Why did Wen Yan come when the old lady was ill?

The old lady held Wen Yan's hand tightly, as if she were afraid he would run away. What was she up to?

The key point is that Gu Yanci seems to be in a good mood when he sees this woman who is about to become his ex-wife?

I can’t understand it, I can’t understand it at all!

Wen Yan's phone rang; it showed that Wen Yonghai was calling.

Wen Yan answered the phone with a puzzled look, and a middle-aged man roared from the other end: "Wen Yan, you come back here! Now, immediately!"

"What's wrong? Who's looking for you?" Old Madam Gu asked Wen Yan.

"My dad wants me to go back home," Wen Yan said truthfully.

Madam Gu was very considerate and immediately said, "Then you go first, don't be late if there's something to do at home! I'll have Aci accompany you?"

Wen Yan quickly refused and left.

As soon as Wen Yan left, Old Madam Gu called out to Gu Yanci with a stern face, "Hey! Aren't you going to see her off? Aren't you going to check if Xiao Yan is alright?"

Gu Yanci pursed his thin lips slightly.

Wen Yan had already signed the divorce agreement with him, and she probably thought the divorce agreement was already in effect. He ran up to ask, "In what capacity and position?"

Seeing that her grandson was a blockhead, Old Madam Gu said angrily, "Just because you want to divorce Xiao Yan, I'm too embarrassed to ask her to come again tomorrow!"

Gu Yanci glanced at her: You're also embarrassed to speak up?

Madam Gu: "...You little rascal, you were just waiting for me to trick your wife back, weren't you!"

Gu Yanci remained silent.

No rebuttal.

-

Wen family villa.

As soon as Wen Yan entered the Wen family's gate, she saw three unfamiliar faces in the living room.

A middle-aged couple looked aggressive. Next to them was a young girl, Mingzhu, who had taken a leave of absence from school.

Mingzhu had lost weight and sat there pitifully, tears welling up in her eyes every now and then.

"President Wen, you must give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise our Ming family will never cooperate with your Wen family again!"

"Mingzhu is our only precious daughter. We cherish her like a precious gem, and we never imagined that she would be bullied like this by your daughter at school!"

The middle-aged couple chatted back and forth.

Wen Yonghai was in a terrible state, trying to appease her with a smile, while Wen Muzhi stayed with Mingzhu, constantly offering words of comfort.

So you came here to cause trouble!

Relieved that Aunt Pang hadn't gotten into trouble, Wen Yan knocked on the door and went inside.

"dad."

"You unfilial daughter! What have you done! Apologize to Uncle Ming's family right now!"

Wen Yonghai was so angry when he saw Wen Yan that he wanted to slap her. He had already raised his hand, but remembering the lesson Gu Yanci had taught him, he forced his hand down.

Wen Yan glanced at the Ming family members and was about to speak.

Madam Ming said leisurely, "Wen Yan, now that you're divorced from Gu Yanci, you no longer have the right to be arrogant!"
