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

Shen Yao's relationship with Lu Jiajia is indeed quite strong.

In her eyes, Lu Jiajia's brother was practically her own brother.

Upon hearing Lu Ning say that his wife was pregnant, Shen Yao relented.

"Send me the address."

When Lu Ning heard Shen Yao agree, he tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips.

"Okay, I'll send you my location now."

A short while later, Shen Yao received Lu Ning's location information on WeChat.

Upon seeing the location, Hei Shenyao frowned. His wife was pregnant, and he was still going to bars?

Shaking her head and sighing, Shen Yao picked up her car keys and went downstairs.

Her hand is much better today, and she can drive without much trouble, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to pick up Lu Ning.

It was already late at night, and the traffic wasn't too bad.

We arrived at the hotel entrance quickly.

Following Lu Ning's instructions, Shen Yao headed straight for the private room.

Upon opening the door, the first thing you see is a man with his back to you.

Before she even got close, Shen Yao could smell the strong odor of alcohol on the man.

She covered her nose, approached the man, and nudged his shoulder with her hand.

"Lu Ning, get up."

The man did not respond to Shen Yao and remained lying on the sofa without moving.

Shen Yao frowned slightly. "Lu Ning, your sister-in-law is pregnant. Can't you come to places like this less often?"

The man still did not respond to her.

Shen Yao was a little angry. She glanced down at the time and realized it was almost 11:30.

Although she is currently on holiday for the Lunar New Year, she still has to work at the hospital.

Seeing that the man was ignoring her, Shen Yao had no choice but to use her uninjured right hand to pull up his arm.

When the man's face slowly turned towards her, Shen Yao was instantly stunned.

"Gu Tianyou, is that you?! Where's Lu Ning?"

Shen Yao looked around, but there was no sign of Lu Ning in the huge private room.

"Lu Ning, Lu Ning, Lu Ning, come out here!"

Shen Yao called out Lu Ning's name; she needed him to come out and explain himself to her.

There was nothing in response to her except Gu Tianyou's even breathing.

Shen Yao could only call Lu Ning.

I called several times, but no one answered.

Shen Yao finally understood that Lu Ning had done it on purpose.

She looked at Gu Tianyou, who was lying drunk on the bed, and sighed.

I nudged him with my hand.

"Gu Tianyou, wake up."

Despite being heavily intoxicated, Gu Tianyou remained in a daze despite Shen Yao's several rough shakes.

Shen Yao was about to book a hotel for him, but then she thought that if she carried him to book a hotel at this hour and got photographed, it might become a trending topic again.

With Grandpa Gu gone, her contact with the Gu family has essentially been severed.

"It's something I owe Grandpa."

Shen Yao reached out and tried to help Gu Tianyou up, only to find that the man seemed even heavier after getting drunk.

By the time she had shoved the man into the car, Shen Yao was sweating profusely.

It took me a long time to recover after getting into the driver's seat.

Leaning forward into the passenger seat, Shen Yao fastened the man's seatbelt.

Just as she was about to get up, the man suddenly grabbed Shen Yao's arm and murmured, "Don't leave me, don't."

The night is deep.

The carriage remained quiet.

Gu Tianyou, who had been lost in thought, suddenly spoke, startling Shen Yao.

She tried to break free from the man's hand, but found that he was holding her hand very tightly, as if a drowning person had grasped a straw for salvation.

"Gu Tianyou, let go! Otherwise, how am I supposed to drive you home?"
