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

Shen Yao leaned against the door, trying her best not to fall.

Her hands gripped the door panel so tightly that her nails almost dug in.

"What do you need me for?" Shen Yao asked the man calmly, trying to control the turbulent emotions in her heart.

“We had some misunderstandings in the past, but I hope you won’t ignore Grandpa because of me.”

Gu Tianyou thought that Shen Yao had lost her memory, and perhaps if he talked to her nicely, things would improve.

"Misunderstanding?" Shen Yao frowned as she looked at the man in front of her.

Suddenly, fragmented memories flooded back into my mind.

The man's insults, disdainful looks, and indifferent attitude flooded into Shen Yao's mind like Pandora's box.

"Shen Yao, are you a dog? Why are you following me like this?"

"Shen Yao, don't you even know who you are? Do you think you're worthy of marrying me?"

"If it weren't for Grandpa, I would never have married you!"

Shen Yao's sealed memories, like a flood bursting its banks, surged into her brain, impacting every nerve in her body.

Seeing the woman cover her head, her face pale, Gu Tianyou's heart leaped into his throat.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Tianyou's voice was still harsh, but a subtle emotion flickered in his eyes.

Shen Yao did not answer, but leaned against the door in pain, her brows furrowed.

Gu Tianyou felt very uncomfortable seeing her like that, and couldn't help but reach out to grab her shoulder.

The moment his hand touched her clothes, the woman recoiled as if she'd been electrocuted.

"Do not touch me."

You don't seem to be feeling well.

"It's none of your business... If you have something to say, just say it." Shen Yao just wanted to go back to bed and lie down properly.

Seeing that Shen Yao's attitude towards him remained indifferent, Gu Tianyou couldn't help but clench his fists with his fingers hanging at his sides.

"Come with me to see Grandpa the night after tomorrow."

"Okay, I promise you." Shen Yao rubbed her temples with one hand and held onto the door with the other, making a gesture as if to close it.

"Wait a minute." Gu Tianyou braced himself against the door, asking incredulously, "You really agreed to come see Grandpa with me the day after tomorrow?"

Shen Yao glanced at Gu Tianyou's hand on the door, slowly raised her eyes, and said, word by word, "Yes, I agreed. So, Mr. Gu, may you please remove your hand?"

She glanced at the man's hand on the doorknob out of the corner of her eye.

Gu Tianyou slowly released his hand from the door panel, and said in a pretentious manner, "That's good. I hope you can keep your promise."

"Don't worry, I'm a person of my word." Shen Yao said this as soon as Gu Tianyou's hand left her side and she closed the door.

The door slammed shut.

Gu Tianyou stood at the door, looking at the tightly closed door, feeling the cold wind blowing in the corridor, and irritably ran his hands through his hair.

Shen Yao leaned against the door, listening to the man's footsteps gradually fade away, her body slowly sliding to the ground.

She hugged her knees tightly and wept silently.

These tears are not for anyone else, but for myself.

"Mr. Gu, you look terrible."

Chen Jie was downstairs, waiting for his boss.

My neck was bitten by mosquitoes several times, and it was a little swollen. Just as I was wondering why the boss hadn't come down yet, I saw him appear looking dejected.

Gu Tianyou raised his head, glanced at Chen Jie, and said calmly, "Help me check whether Shen Yao has dated anyone in the past year."
