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

Was this man so reckless in order to save himself?

Shen Yao dared not think any further.

Seeing that she was pale, Lu Jiajia put her arms around her shoulders and comforted her.

"The doctor said the knife didn't stab any vital organs and won't be fatal. You don't need to worry too much."

"Hmm, I'm not worried. Why would I worry about her?"

Shen Yao said that, but her palms were still very cold.

When Lu Jiajia heard her say that, she really thought that Shen Yao wasn't worried about Gu Tianyou.

"Perhaps this is retribution. Who told him to betray you in the first place?"

"Well, maybe."

Shen Yao nodded and didn't say anything more.

More than an hour later, Gu Tianyou was wheeled out.

The man was pale and his eyes were closed, clearly still unconscious from the effects of the anesthesia.

The doctor advised me to rest more and be especially careful not to pull on the wound when I'm active.

Lu Jiajia and Shen Yao nodded in agreement.

After the doctor left, Shen Yao walked to the bedside and carefully lifted Gu Tianyou's clothes.

I noticed that several wounds had been stitched up.

The wound was bright red and still oozing blood.

It's entirely believable how painful it must have been when the knife went in.

"It doesn't hurt."

A hoarse voice sounded.

Shen Yao snapped out of her daze, looked up, and saw that Gu Tianyou had actually woken up.

Thinking back, after the surgery, according to the anesthesia time, I should indeed have woken up.

"You should rest in the hospital for the next few days. Jiajia and I will go sightseeing by ourselves."

A gentle smile appeared on Gu Tianyou's pale face.

“It’s not safe for you two girls to be in an unfamiliar place. I’ll connect you with a reliable local guide in Paris. He’s a good friend of mine and lives in Paris year-round. With him, your trip will be much smoother.”

Lu Jiajia thought Gu Tianyou's idea was good, so she agreed.

After leaving the hospital, Lu Jiajia sat in a taxi and nudged Shen Yao's arm.

"What do you think?"

"What do you mean, what do you think?" Shen Yao asked, puzzled.

Lu Jiajia lowered her voice and said, "Gu Tianyou risked his life for you. If these wounds were a few millimeters more precise, he probably would have bled to death very soon. Yao Yao, don't you feel even a little bit touched?"

"will not."

Shen Yao answered affirmatively.

Lu Jiajia was taken aback by her resolute tone.

"I thought you would fall for Gu Tianyou again."

"Aside from gratitude towards Gu Tianyou, there is nothing else."

Shen Yao reiterated her thoughts.

Lu Jiajia nodded, sighed, and rested her chin on her hands.

"Hey, why are people always so pathetic? They only learn to cherish things after they've lost them. To be honest, when I saw Gu Tianyou covered in blood after being stabbed, and he was still looking at you with such deep affection in his eyes, I was moved by his tender gaze."

"do not talk."

"Oh fine."

Shen Yao closed her eyes and leaned wearily against the car seat.

In fact, what she was recalling was the image of Gu Tianyou staring intently at her after he was stabbed.

That look in his eyes seemed to gaze longingly into the distance.

However, such a deep gaze could no longer move Shen Yao.

Perhaps, their fate has run its course.

For the next week, Gu Tianyou indeed arranged an excellent guide for Lu Jiajia and Shen Yao.

The guide was Chinese and had settled in Paris.

Shen Yao and Lu Jiajia, who have always loved history, visited the Palace of Versailles, the Palace of Fontainebleau, and Strasbourg in Paris.

I also visited Amiens, the capital of the Somme department, the closest department to Paris.

Gu Tianyou recovered very quickly.

By the fifteenth day, he was able to walk normally.

You just can't lift heavy objects or do strenuous exercise for the time being.

The three decided to conclude their trip to France in Rouen, west of Paris.

Shen Yao walked along the Rouen beach, her mind heavy with worries.

The setting sun cast a long shadow of her.

"Yaoyao, have you tried contacting Bo Yuxiu?"

"I called three more times, but still no one answered."

"How about we ask Gu Tianyou to help you look for him? I've heard he has some influence and power in Paris."

The man she had been searching for appeared in Paris.

Shen Yao couldn't possibly remain unmoved.

Therefore, she didn't understand why Bo Yuxiu looked like he didn't recognize her when they met in Paris.

Didn't Mr. Bo say he was in New York, USA?

Why is he here?

Shen Yao was in a state of turmoil, with many questions she wanted to ask this man.

However, she couldn't find the man.

"I'm willing to help you find Bo Yuxiu."

Gu Tianyou waded through the rising seawater and walked to Shen Yao's side.

Lu Jiajia turned around, looked at Gu Tianyou and smiled, "I have to say, you're much more pleasing to the eye than before."

Gu Tianyou looked at Shen Yao with a blank expression.

Give me a word.

Shen Yao gazed at the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance, watching a man and a woman walking towards her, and she felt somewhat dazed.

She couldn't take another step.

A tall man, carrying a blonde, blue-eyed woman on his back, ran on the beach, laughing happily.

If a broken heart makes a sound, it should sound like glass.

Shen Yao's knuckles, which were holding the skirt, could barely grasp the light, breezy fabric.

She seemed to lose all her strength in an instant.

I can't walk anymore.

"Yaoyao, why aren't you leaving?"

Lu Jiajia followed behind Shen Yao, urging her with a smile.

Seeing that Shen Yao was not leaving, she walked over to her side.

"Let's go back."

Shen Yao suddenly turned around and walked back.

Lu Jiajia didn't understand why Shen Yao suddenly turned back.

Until she also saw that man and woman.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Bo Yuxiu!"

Gu Tianyou had been secretly observing Shen Yao, and upon hearing Lu Jiajia's words, he also saw the man and woman walking towards them.

Compared to Shen Yao's painful avoidance, Lu Jiajia's surprise and astonishment were more striking.

Gu Tianyou, on the other hand, remained very calm.

Even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

"Yaoyao, look who's that."

"let's go."

Shen Yao quickened her pace.

Lu Jiajia thought she hadn't seen it, so she forcibly pulled her back.

When Lu Jiajia pulled Shen Yao back in front of her, she realized that Shen Yao was already crying with tears streaming down her face.

However, she kept her head down the whole time.

The sea breeze was also very loud, drowning out her cries.

"Yaoyao..."

Lu Jiajia hugged her tenderly.

"I'll go ask Bo Yuxiu for you what exactly happened!"

As she spoke, Lu Jiajia was about to turn around and rush towards Bo Yuxiu.

Shen Yao stopped her.

"No need, I'll go myself."

Shen Yao had already wiped away her tears, except for a slight redness at the corners of her eyes.

You couldn't tell she had been crying at all.

Lu Jiajia asked with a touch of sadness, "Are you really okay on your own?"

Shen Yao nodded. "I can. After all, this is my business, and I should be the one to face it."

She looked up at the man who was less than a hundred meters away from her, and walked over with firm steps.
