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

After losing control of her emotions that night, Shen Yao stayed at home for almost a week.

The ingredients for the meal were ordered from a food delivery platform.

I cook every day by searching for recipes on Baidu.

When I feel energetic, I continue writing my thesis.

She plans to publish it in The Lancet.

During those few days, Gu Tianyou and Chu Yao did not come to see her again.

This made her feel relieved.

the other side.

Gu Tianyou was also busy with company matters.

Recently, our company's business has been squeezed by a newly listed company, and our market share has been continuously eroded.

Whether it's the Gu Group's long-established real estate business or its recent large-scale investments in smart technology and pharmaceuticals, both have faced severe challenges.

Gu Tianyou also worked overtime for seven consecutive days.

Under his personal command, the Gu Group's business finally began to recover.

After working overtime for a week, he returned home exhausted.

Wang Ma gets off work quite late.

Seeing that Gu Tianyou had just returned, she cooked him a bowl of sour soup noodles.

Perhaps because he was too tired and hungry, Gu Tianyou, who is usually a picky eater, actually finished the whole bowl of noodles.

They even drank every last drop of soup.

"Wang Ma, you barely ate the noodles you cooked tonight."

Wang Ma smiled happily when she was praised.

"Thank you for your kind words, young master. It was the young mistress who taught me how to make this noodle soup. She said that after a long day, this bowl of noodle soup is the perfect thing to eat."

"Did the young mistress teach you that?" Gu Tianyou's hand holding the bowl tightened involuntarily.

"Yes, the young mistress's cooking is much better than mine." Wang Ma was a straightforward person who said whatever came to mind.

Completely unaware that Gu Tianyou's expression was growing increasingly grim.

“But she left me.” Gu Tianyou’s voice was low and somber.

It sounded like a whispered accusation.

His tone was filled with unspeakable anger.

Seeing his expression, Wang Ma quickly shut her mouth.

"I'm full. The noodles were pretty good. I'll have Uncle Wang give you an extra 5000 yuan in performance bonus."

Gu Tianyou put down the bowl, turned around and went upstairs.

Looking at his dejected figure, Wang Ma's face showed reluctance.

Seeing that Gu Tianyou was about to enter her room, she finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Young Master, have you forgotten? Uncle Wang, you fired him."

Gu Tianyou paused, his body stiffening slightly.

After a long pause, he slowly turned his head and said wearily, "I'll have Chen Jie give you an extra 5000 yuan."

A smile appeared on Wang Ma's face.

"Thank you, young master."

The door slammed shut.

Gu Tianyou threw his briefcase aside and slumped onto the bed.

The large room was very quiet.

It was so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.

Gu Tianyou suddenly missed his grandfather, who had been very strict with him since he was a child.

But Grandpa is gone.

Gu Tianyou wanted to ask Uncle Wang to get him some red wine.

But then he suddenly discovered that he had fired Uncle Wang.

Perhaps it's because I'm too tired from work.

Perhaps it's because of too much stress lately.

Gu Tianyou suddenly felt a strange sense of loss rising in his heart.

I picked up my phone, opened my contacts, and glanced at everyone.

Ultimately, their gaze settled on that name.

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Tianyou finally dialed the number.

My heart was constantly in suspense.

After several beeps.

Just when Gu Tianyou thought the woman wouldn't answer, a woman's voice came from the other end.

"Hello." The woman's voice, unusually, wasn't so cold.

Just as Gu Tianyou was about to speak, he heard a man's voice from the side.

"Could you get me a towel? I'm going to take a shower."
