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

A heavy silence filled the Maybach's cabin.

Chen Jie gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, not daring to utter a sound.

Only when the G-Class's rear end gradually disappeared into the night did Chen Jie cautiously ask the man in the back seat.

"Mr. Gu, where are we going?"

Gu Tianyou slowly raised his head, his gaze lingering on Chen Jie in the rearview mirror. "What do you think?"

Chen Jie nervously swallowed. "Go home?"

Gu Tianyou's eyes grew even colder. "Back to your home?"

“My home is rather humble... If you, Mr. Gu, were to visit, you might not be able to adapt.”

"Who said I was going to your house?" Gu Tianyou's deep gaze was like a cold knife held to Chen Jie's neck.

Chen Jie couldn't help but shrink his neck, his mind racing.

"Miss Shen must go home."

In the rearview mirror, Gu Tianyou slowly closed his eyes. The dim light inside the car illuminated his handsome face and his furrowed brows.

After escorting Shen Yao to the ground floor, Huangfu Hao glanced at the descending stairs and said, "Let me take you up."

Shen Yao looked at Huangfu Hao's wet shirt and nodded, "Come to my house and change into a clean shirt."

The wardrobe door was opened, revealing several new men's shirts inside.

In their haste to move out of the Gu family villa, many clothes were simply and hastily packed into suitcases.

When I arrived at the rented apartment, I found several men's suits and shirts.

These were all bought for Gu Tianyou by Shen Yao when they got married.

Gu Tianyou never wore it.

Shen Yao carefully placed them in a bag.

Since moving to this apartment, this bag has remained untouched in the closet.

She casually pulled out a black shirt, walked out of the room, and handed it to Huangfuhao.

"I've never worn this before, you don't mind, right?"

Huangfuhao's eyes shone brightly as he hurriedly accepted the gift, saying, "I don't mind."

After changing into his shirt, Huangfuhao looked in the mirror and habitually started to tie his tie.

After tying his tie, he realized that his red tie didn't match his black shirt, so he pulled the tie off.

Shen Yao's voice rang out from outside the bathroom door.

"Huangfu Hao, come out and have some ginger tea."

"it is good."

After carefully tidying his hair in front of the mirror, Huangfuhao opened the door and went out.

Shen Yao handed him a cup of brewed ginger tea.

Huangfuhao said thank you, and after having a drink, he saw that Shen Yao had also changed into clean clothes, a long, light blue, fitted dress for home.

Her hair, half-dry from the blow-drying, draped over her shoulders; a few strands of her freshly permed wavy hair clung to her fair face.

Her long eyelashes fluttered gently from time to time, like the fluttering of butterflies.

"Thank you so much for today," Shen Yao said to Huangfu Hao again.

Huangfu Hao said it was alright.

Shen Yao was going to take him to the first floor, but Huangfu Hao said it was still drizzling outside and quite chilly, so there was no need to take him any further.

Shen Yao didn't insist and gave him a large umbrella.

The Maybach slowly came to a stop in the parking lot of the old-fashioned apartment building.

Looking at the motionless Gu Tianyou, Chen Jie mustered his courage and said, "Mr. Gu, your clothes are wet. Would you like to go upstairs and change into some clean clothes?"

Gu Tianyou touched his slightly damp sleeve with his long, slender hand. "It is indeed wet. Go upstairs and change into a shirt."

When she heard the knocking, Shen Yao assumed that Huangfu Hao had returned to get his coat, so she picked up the coat and opened the door.

"I was thinking of delivering it to your home when I have time..." Shen Yao's hand, which was holding the coat, slowly drooped when she saw the man's gloomy face.
