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

"Tell me the truth, did I really marry that man named Gu Tianyou?"

Shen Yao stood by the roadside, the shadow of the streetlamp reflected in her dark eyes. Her expression was pained, and her eyes were filled with sorrow.

Huangfuhao, feeling her gaze, quickly turned his head away, not daring to meet Shen Yao's eyes.

He was also afraid that Shen Yao could read some unspeakable truth in his eyes.

"Yaoyao, it's late, let's go home early."

Huangfuhao tried to grab Shen Yao's hand, but Shen Yao seemed to have anticipated his move and dodged in time, moving to the side.

“I want to know the truth.” Shen Yao looked at Huangfu Hao and emphasized each word clearly, “I have a vague feeling that I’ve forgotten something, but I’m not sure. However, two people reminded me of it today, and one of them was you.”

Shen Yao paused, then gave Huangfu Hao a desolate smile. "Are you going to be like that woman, watching helplessly as I'm ostracized and laughed at because of things I don't remember?"

"Yaoyao, I will never do anything to hurt you, you can believe me."

"Why should I believe you? You won't even be honest with me!"

"I'm not telling you because it's for your own good."

"Is this really for my own good?" Shen Yao sneered. "I hate this feeling. It seems like all of you know something about my past. But I, as the person involved, know absolutely nothing. This scares me and makes me uneasy!"

Huangfu Hao watched as Shen Yao became increasingly agitated as she spoke, and he walked towards her with concern.

"Yaoyao, we really are just doing this for your own good."

"If I hadn't known, I might have been fine, but now that I know part of the truth, I'm not fine at all! Should I continue to play dumb and deceive myself?"

"I..." Huangfuhao didn't know what to say to make Shen Yao feel better.

He could only stay by Shen Yao's side and watch over her at all times.

Shen Yao was crossing the street, and so was he.

Shen Yao took a taxi, and he got in as well.

The two of them arrived silently at the apartment building where Shen Yao rented.

"No need to see me off, you can go back now." Shen Yao interrupted Huangfu Hao, who was about to speak, and gave him the order to leave.

Huangfu Hao felt somewhat disappointed seeing Shen Yao's coldness towards him.

"Yaoyao, I'll come help you move tomorrow."

"No need, Teacher Bo and Jiajia will come to help me."

“There is strength in numbers.”

"Really, no need. I know your law firm is very busy, so no need!" Shen Yao repeatedly refused Huangfu Hao.

Actually, the reason she was deliberately distant from Huangfu Hao was not only because he hadn't told her the truth about what happened back then, but also because Huangfu Hao had shown his affection for her.

Shen Yao doesn't want to be in a relationship right now; she has many things she hasn't finished taking care of.

The biological mother, Wang Haiya, is still undergoing treatment.

Through her biological mother, Wang Haiya, she also learned that she had a father who was in prison.

Her family of origin was like a vine, entangled her, making it hard for her to breathe. She dared not let herself fall in love again.

Huangfuhao was getting angry after being rejected time and time again.

"Yaoyao, just because I didn't tell you the truth about the past, are you going to be so cold to me?"

"Yes, because of this incident, I feel that you are not a trustworthy or confidant person." Shen Yao lied on purpose.

"Just because of this?" Huangfu Hao found it hard to accept. "Do you really think of me as someone who is not trustworthy?"
