After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Gu Tianyou is a workaholic.

Shen Yao knew about this situation before she married him.

This man often works tirelessly, forgetting to eat and sleep, and even working through the night, so his stomach has never been very good.

After marrying him, Shen Yao specially prepared many kinds of stomach medicine for him at home so that he could take them in time when he had stomach pain.

Not only that, she also prepared a small, exquisite medicine box for him to keep at the company.

Several times, when Gu Tianyou had stomach pain, it was the stomach medicine prescribed by Shen Yao that relieved it.

So, at this moment, when he was experiencing stomach cramps, he subconsciously called out Shen Yao's name.

In the past, Shen Yao would have rushed forward anxiously to inquire about the situation and rubbed the man's stomach with her hands, even if she might be violently pushed away at any moment. However, Shen Yao would still endure the man's beatings and scoldings, gently getting him a cup and feeding him his medicine.

When she thought about how she loved so humbly, and how she not only failed to win the man's love but was also trampled on by him, Shen Yao felt a surge of anger and shame.

Thinking back on those times when I wasn't loved feels like a dull ache in my heart.

Shen Yao still crossed her arms over her chest, coldly watching the man clutch his stomach with his right hand, his tall body bent over, his left hand supporting him against the wall, his handsome face showing pain.

Shen Yao's body instincts almost made her rush over to help him up, just like she used to do.

But her rational mind prevented her from doing so.

She glanced indifferently at the man suffering from stomach pain. "Gu Tianyou, we are divorced and both of us are free. From now on, neither of us should interfere in the other's life. Didn't you want to be with Ye Yingying? Congratulations on getting your wish."

The cramping pain in his stomach felt like a knife was rolling around inside, causing Gu Tianyou to break out in a cold sweat.

When he heard the woman congratulate him on finally being able to be with Ye Yingying, he was not happy at all; instead, he became extremely angry.

He himself didn't understand why he was so unusually angry.

He raised his head, his bloodshot eyes glaring, and asked through gritted teeth, "So, you and Huangfu Hao are having an affair? Have you been together for a long time? Have you been cheating on me for a long time?"

Looking at the man's furious expression, Shen Yao felt both incredulous and ironic.

The man's expression seemed to be accusing her of wrongdoing.

She sneered, "Gu Tianyou, your infidelity in our marriage doesn't mean everyone is like you. I, Shen Yao, have always been upright and honest! I swear that during our marriage, I, Shen Yao, have never done anything to betray you!"

The woman spoke with a strong voice and an air of righteousness. Her back was straight, and her expression was proud and upright, showing none of her usual timid and submissive demeanor.

The woman's change was so drastic that Gu Tianyou even suspected she had taken some kind of miraculous medicine. Otherwise, why would she have changed so much in just a few days?

Gu Tianyou braced himself against the wall with his left hand, arguing his case forcefully.

"Hmph, who can't swear an oath? Even a three-year-old can! If you were truly upright, why would you make such a vicious oath? It's clear you're just feeling guilty, and you're having an affair with Huangfu Hao!"

After listening to the man's words, Shen Yao felt there was no way to communicate with him.

She glanced at her watch; she had been away from the banquet for too long and needed to hurry back.

So, he left with a "Believe it or not" and turned away, never looking back at Gu Tianyou, whose face was contorted with stomach pain.

Gu Tianyou felt his body go limp, and everything in front of him appeared double.

Seeing the woman about to leave, he was anxious and, despite the excruciating pain, lunged forward and grabbed her wrist.

The moment he touched the woman's hand, he felt a long-lost sense of peace. He had no strength left in his body and collapsed to the ground.

Shen Yao was pulled so hard that she almost fell, but luckily she managed to regain her balance in time.

But upon turning to the side, one could see that the man's limbs—no, three of them—were almost sprawled on the ground, his right hand still gripping his own wrist tightly.

Shen Yao frowned and tried to pry the man's hand off her with her left hand.

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pry them apart.

Just as Shen Yao took a deep breath and tried to pry the man's hands off again, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

She turned her head and saw Huangfu Hao walking briskly towards her with his long, straight legs.

"Yaoyao, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

Before Huangfuhao could finish speaking, Bian Jianyan spotted Gu Tianyou holding Shen Yao's hand.

A cold, icy glint flashed in the dark eyes behind the glasses.

He quickened his pace and decisively stepped on Gu Tianyou's left hand, which was hanging on the floor.

"what!"

With a low scream, Gu Tianyou reflexively released his grip on Shen Yao's hand, his pale face turning as white as a sheet of paper.

Huangfuhao glanced at him. "President Gu, before you two got divorced, I couldn't interfere in your affairs with Yao Yao. After the divorce, if you dare to touch a single hair on Shen Yao's head again, I'll make you regret it!"

After saying that, he took Shen Yao's hand and strode away.

The stomachache combined with the pain in his hands left Gu Tianyou speechless. He stared with bloodshot eyes at their intertwined hands. "Shen Yao, you betrayed me. I will never forgive you easily!"

Shen Yao, who had already left the scene, was completely unaware of Gu Tianyou's incomprehensible and twisted inner world.

When she and Huangfuhao returned to the banquet, the way her colleagues looked at her was quite interesting.

There is humor, exploration, and playfulness.

The man with dark-rimmed glasses casually adjusted the temple of his glasses with his right hand and deliberately asked loudly, "Miss Shen, who is that man to you?"

As soon as the question was asked, almost everyone at the table turned to look at Shen Yao.

Shen Yao glanced indifferently at the man with dark-rimmed glasses, picked up the wine glass on the table, made a toasting gesture with him from a distance, and then tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.

“Mr. Cheng, this is my private matter, and I apologize for making you laugh. But I hope this matter can end here, is that alright?”

As soon as Shen Yao said this, almost everyone's attention fell on Cheng Guodong.

Yes, in this day and age, who doesn't have an ex? If Cheng Guodong continues to press him, that would be going too far.

Under everyone's gaze, Cheng Guodong adjusted his glasses and gave an awkward smile, "Haha, of course, this is Miss Shen's family matter, and it is indeed inconvenient for me to interfere."

Shen Yao smiled slightly, put down her wine glass, and was about to sit down when she heard a commotion behind her.

Excuse me, could you please move aside?

Several people in white coats carried a stretcher and hurriedly entered the Spinner Hotel.

Shen Yao recognized the person who led the way.

This person is Chen Jie, Gu Tianyou's personal assistant.

A short while later, when the stretcher was brought out again, a pale-faced man was lying on it.
