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

"Wipe it."

Gu Tianyou hesitated, then handed Shen Yao a tissue.

"Thank you." Shen Yao took the tissue, wiped her mouth, turned around and brushed past Gu Tianyou as she walked out.

Just as she was about to leave the bathroom, her wrist was grabbed by a cold hand.

Shen Yao looked down at the wrist with its distinct joints, her voice as cold as could be.

"open."

"Don't let it go."

Gu Tianyou tightened his grip on Shen Yao's wrist, his profile appearing even more hard and cold in the dimly lit bathroom.

"It's so late, I need to go home."

Shen Yao turned to the side and forcefully pried Gu Tianyou's hand off her.

"You'd rather marry a stranger than be with me?"

Gu Tianyou stared into Shen Yao's eyes, his own eyes reddening.

“Yes.” Shen Yao looked into the man’s eyes, which were icy cold.

A storm of rage flashed in Gu Tianyou's eyes.

"Do you hate me so much?"

“Yes, because you ruined my life.” Shen Yao stared into Gu Tianyou’s eyes, enunciating each word clearly.

"I ruined your life?" Gu Tianyou was completely unaware that Shen Yao already knew everything he had done to Bo Yuxiu.

"Therefore, I would rather marry a stranger than marry you."

Shen Yao's words were like a knife, piercing Gu Tianyou's heart.

"Mr. Gu, it's nothing, I'll be going now. You can't stop me from marrying another man."

Shen Yao felt that she had said almost the most vicious things to Gu Tianyou.

On her drive home, she would reflect on her words and wonder if she had gone too far.

Then I remembered how Gu Tianyou had treated me the same way back then.

One can't help but sigh; fortunes change.

The company went public, and the hospital began to open for business in an orderly manner.

Shen Yao should start thinking about her private life.

In fact, after observing for a while, Shen Yao also felt that Lu Jiajia was right: most of the men she met on blind dates were unreliable.

Although, once you get to know them properly, you'll find someone who thoroughly investigates their background.

However, he was a complete stranger.

so.......

Recently, Shen Yao bought a villa and even invited Uncle Wang, who had been fired by Gu Tianyou, back.

Uncle Wang was efficient and reliable, and he quickly found many capable and honest servants for Shen Yao.

Moving to a new house is also for the upcoming arrival of our child.

The house I lived in before was no longer convenient or suitable, since living in an apartment building meant there were too many different kinds of people coming and going.

This villa complex offers excellent privacy.

After returning from the coffee shop that day, Shen Yao lay on the recliner by the bay window on the second floor, looking at the deep night.

The sky was black, with flashes of lightning every now and then.

In the sweltering summer, the thunder rumbles softly.

Uncle Wang gently knocked on the door.

"Miss, Mr. Gu has arrived."

Shen Yao gave a faint "hmm".

All of this seemed to be within her expectations.

"Let him wait in the yard."

"Yes."

Uncle Wang gave Shen Yao a deep look, sighed softly, and left.

Gu Tianyou stood in the courtyard, watching the lightning occasionally rip through the night sky, his brows furrowing slightly.

On the way here, Chen Jie told him that Shen Yao had recently been casting a wide net on other dating websites.

This time, the range of potential partners for blind dates has expanded overseas.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Shen seems to be in a hurry to get married."

Are you in a rush to get married?

Shen Yao, would you rather marry these online scammers than come back to me?

Gu Tianyou was filled with confusion and anger.

He looked up at the approaching bolt of lightning in the sky, his heart filled with grief and indignation.

He's already said all he wanted, what more does this woman want?

"Mr. Gu, Miss Shen says she doesn't want to see you. Please leave."

Uncle Wang walked over and bowed respectfully to Gu Tianyou.

Upon seeing Uncle Wang, Gu Tianyou's pupils contracted slightly.

"Uncle Wang, what are you doing here?"

"Miss Shen found me and made me her housekeeper." Uncle Wang's attitude towards Gu Tianyou remained very respectful.

However, there was a hint of unfamiliarity in his respect.

Gu Tianyou had actually wanted to find Uncle Wang a long time ago.

However, I was so busy that I forgot.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yao beat her to it.

"Is Shen Yao really getting married?"

Putting aside his random thoughts, Gu Tianyou returned to the main topic.

"Yes, Miss Shen, I've met quite a few high-quality blind date partners recently."

"High-quality candidates?" Gu Tianyou raised an eyebrow slightly. "Are they comparable to me?"

Uncle Wang said, "The second son of Yida Group, the eldest son of Wantong Global Automotive Brand, the global director of luxury perfume, and others will be attending the celebrity banquet in three days. It's because Miss Shen will also be there that day."

Based on the backgrounds of these people, Gu Tianyou had already guessed what was going to happen.

"Shen Yao wouldn't want to find her husband among these people, would she?"

“Well… Miss Shen, that is indeed the plan.”

Uncle Wang did not hide anything from Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou gasped, "Is Shen Yao so eager to get married?"

Uncle Wang remained silent.

He really had no way to respond to that.

Actually, he didn't know why Shen Yao, who was never keen on socializing, would suddenly attend such a high-society banquet.

However, Uncle Wang and Shen Yao have known each other for so many years.

He believed that Shen Yao had her reasons for doing so.

"Make Shen Yao come out and see me!"

Uncle Wang looked troubled.

"It's so late, Miss Shen should rest. Mr. Gu, why don't you head back first?"

"I'm not going back. Make Shen Yao come out and see me!"

When Gu Tianyou gets stubborn, he always acts recklessly.

Uncle Wang helplessly pulled Gu Tianyou back from rushing into the house.

"Mr. Gu, this isn't the first time you've met Miss Shen. Please go back."

Upon hearing what Uncle Wang said, Gu Tianyou's eyes widened in fury.

"Uncle Wang, go find her and tell her that I, Gu Tianyou, will be waiting for her here today!"

"Mr. Gu...why would you do this?"

"Why am I like this? Don't you understand, Uncle Wang?"

Gu Tianyou grabbed Uncle Wang's collar, his chest heaving violently.

Uncle Wang looked into his eyes.

do not know why.

Uncle Wang had a feeling that Gu Tianyou was about to cry.

"The second son of Yida Group, the eldest son of Wantong Global Automotive Brand, the global director of luxury perfume! Aren't they all embroiled in scandals? Don't they all have a ton of rumored girlfriends? Is Shen Yao really going to marry one of these people?"

“Young Master, this is Miss Shen’s own business. You are an outsider and have no right to tell her what to do.”

"Am I an outsider? How did I become an outsider?"

"Hey."

Gu Tianyou's stubbornness always caused Uncle Wang to lose.

"I'll go tell Miss Shen again."

The rain was pouring down.

Lightning flashed across the night sky time and time again, and the thunder grew louder and louder.

"Miss Shen, Mr. Gu wants to see you."

Shen Yao turned to look at the man standing in the rain downstairs and said decisively, "I'm not seeing him. I'm going to sleep."
