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

Perhaps it was because I was too tired, or perhaps it was because I saw a blurry figure outside the window.

Shen Yao leaned against Chu Yao's chest, letting him hold her tightly.

I don’t know how long it took.

It was half an hour later when Chu Yao finally released Shen Yao.

"Sister, you've agreed, right?"

The man stared into Shen Yao's eyes, his face full of anticipation.

Sometimes, emotions defy reason; in a fleeting moment, everything depends on feeling.

Shen Yao felt very tired lately, while Chu Yao's performance was still acceptable.

She nodded as if possessed.

"Ayao."

Chu Yao reached out his large hand and vigorously rubbed Shen Yao's head. "From now on, I'll call you by this name."

After receiving the call, Shen Yao personally escorted Chu Yao to the door.

Shen Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him get into his luxury car and leave.

......

Two days later, Jiajia learned that Shen Yao and Chu Yao were dating, and she almost jumped off the bed onto the ceiling.

"Yaoyao, have you thought this through?"

"Try it."

Lu Jiajia wanted to say something more, but she felt that perhaps if Shen Yao started a relationship, she could quickly get over her previous pain.

Although Shen Yao appears very busy and has the air of a successful career woman, the more she throws herself into a busy life, the more likely she is to run into trouble.

How can a normal person only have a job and no life of their own?

"Alright, if this kid ever wrongs you in any way, you must tell me, and I'll expose him!"

"it is good."

Shen Yao smiled and hung up the phone.

Looking at the invitation in her hand, her smile gradually faded.

Surprisingly, Gu Tianyou and Ye Yingying sent an invitation to Shen Yao's wedding.

Moreover, it was issued by the Gu Group.

Shen Yao had no reason to refuse.

She gave a cold laugh and threw the invitation onto the bedside table.

The doorbell rang again. Shen Yao had finished showering and quickly changed her clothes before coming out.

When she stepped out of the house, she saw a tall figure standing outside the gate of the courtyard.

Shen Yao's eyesight at night is not very good.

She stepped forward and realized that it was Chu Yao.

"What are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Chu Yao was probably afraid of being recognized by fans, so he wore an exaggerated pair of sunglasses.

He handed the food box to Shen Yao, saying, "I passed by a popular online restaurant and heard their barbecue is delicious, so I packed some for you."

Shen Yao was about to say that she didn't want to eat anything after 10 p.m., but Chu Yao spoke faster than she did.

"Try it quickly, if it's not good, I'll bark like a dog."

Chu Yao shoved the barbecue he was holding into Shen Yao's hands.

As Shen Yao took the barbecue, she smelled the aroma of the grilled meat.

Five minutes later, the two sat in the living room and started eating barbecue.

"In this world, only love and food should not be let down. Cheers, sister." Chu Yao's eyebrows curved slightly as he raised his glass and smiled at Shen Yao.

Shen Yao took a sip of soda, feeling relaxed, and nodded with a smile.

"Only love and food should not be let down."

After finishing the barbecue, Chu Yao very conscientiously cleaned up the food scraps and put them into the trash can.

After taking a shower, he lazily leaned back on the sofa, very close to Shen Yao.

He could even clearly smell the delicate peach wood scent emanating from Shen Yao.

The smell in the air also became ambiguous.

Chu Yao turned his head to look at Shen Yao and found that Shen Yao had her eyes slightly closed, her expression languid, and her butterfly-like eyelashes occasionally fluttered slightly like thin wings.

Feeling his throat dry, Chu Yao called out softly, "Sister, it's so late... Can I stay at your house?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yao interrupted him.

"Yes, it's late. You should go home and rest early."

As Shen Yao spoke, she stood up and prepared to see Chu Yao out.

Chu Yao sighed and looked up at the sky, then stood up helplessly.

He walked up to the woman and tried to put his arm around Shen Yao's slender waist, but Shen Yao instinctively dodged away.

"Go back and be safe."

Shen Yao opened the door.

She stood at the doorway, smiling at Chu Yao.

Chu Yao strode over to Shen Yao and bent down.

"Ayao, there's something on your lips."

Before Shen Yao could react, his slender hand gently pinched his chin.

"Where?" Shen Yao asked, puzzled.

She was eating very carefully just now, could it be that she dipped it in sauce?

Just as she was thinking this, she felt a warm sensation on her lips.

The woman's lips were so soft that the man couldn't help but linger a little longer.

He wanted to taste the fragrance in the woman's mouth, but she pushed him away.

"It's time for you to go back."

"I can take the day off tomorrow."

"Didn't you say you wanted to shoot an advertisement?"

None of these things are as important as you.

Feeling the man's burning heat, Shen Yao felt like she was suffocating.

In the adult world, everything is self-evident.

However, Shen Yao was not mentally prepared.

She still ruthlessly pushed away the man who was burning with desire in front of her, "Let's go back."

Chu Yao felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and he was completely disoriented.

"Ah Yao, you still harbor resentment towards me."

"I don't."

As Shen Yao spoke, she walked out into the courtyard.

This posture says it all.

If Chu Yao doesn't leave soon, he might start arguing with Shen Yao.

He could only follow Shen Yao until they reached the gate.

"It's so late, I won't keep you any longer."

Shen Yao opened the iron gate outside the courtyard and turned to Chu Yao.

A hint of hurt flashed in Chu Yao's beautiful eyes.

"Didn't you ever think about letting me stay overnight?"

Chu Yao stared into Shen Yao's eyes and asked, word by word.

After calming down, Shen Yao shook her head firmly.

"No, give me some more time to adjust to life with a boyfriend."

When someone has been single for a long time, it can feel strange to suddenly have someone else in their life.

"Okay, take it slow, I'll get you used to my presence."

Chu Yao, abandoning his usual carefree attitude, spoke to Shen Yao in a serious tone.

"Thank you." Shen Yao returned Chu Yao's gentle smile.

Only when Chu Yao's figure gradually disappeared into the distance did Shen Yao lean wearily against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Xu Yang once said that being in a relationship would make you feel better, so why do I feel so much pressure?"

Shen Yao muttered to herself, wondering if it was the right thing for her to agree to be Chu Yao's girlfriend.

"Perhaps you've come to the wrong person."

A deep, hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind Shen Yao.

Shen Yao's heart was pounding so hard it almost jumped out of her chest.

She clutched her pounding heart, looked at the man smoking behind her, and said, still shaken, "Teacher Bo, what are you doing standing here in the middle of the night?"

Bo Yuxiu stubbed out his cigarette, pulled Shen Yao into his arms, and held her tightly with both hands.

"I miss you, I want to see you right away, I can't afford to waste even a second."

Perhaps because of his smoking, the man's voice was deep and hoarse, yet it was also very pleasant to listen to.
