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

"Mr. Gu, I'm leaving."

Chen Jie kept his head down, not daring to look at Gu Tianyou at all.

Gu Tianyou didn't say anything, but silently carried Shen Yao away.

Watching Gu Tianyou's departing figure, Chen Jie sighed, turned around, got into his car, and drove away.

Shen Yao felt as if she were having a very long dream.

My dreams contain both tenderness and heart-wrenching pain.

She was in a daze.

When the sun shines down from the bay window on you the next day...

Shen Yao finally opened her eyes.

She saw Gu Tianyou sleeping soundly beside her.

She saw his bare upper body, hugging her.

Following her gaze downwards, Shen Yao's pupils dilated slightly, her eyes almost bursting with rage.

What happened last night is self-evident.

Shen Yao stretched out her hands and gently wrapped them around the man's neck.

At that moment, she wanted to strangle the man.

The sun is blinding.

When Gu Tianyou woke up, he found that the woman was gone.

His heart sank.

He instinctively got up and went to look for the woman.

"Shen Yao, Shen Yao!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Tianyou saw Shen Yao holding a sharp dagger to her neck, her indifferent eyes coldly staring at him.

"Put down the knife!"

Gu Tianyou walked quickly to Shen Yao and looked at her nervously.

As Shen Yao saw him approach, she sneered and pressed the sharp dagger against her neck again.

"If you come any closer, I'll kill myself. I don't want to live anymore since you've ruined me like this."

As she spoke, Shen Yao actually increased the pressure on her neck.

I saw bright red blood seeping from the white blade.

Gu Tianyou's mind went blank. He reached out his hands, trying to snatch the knife away.

However, Shen Yao's gaze, colder than a knife, made him back down.

"Tell me what to do!"

"From now on, you are not allowed to touch me!"

Gu Tianyou nodded, nervously swallowing hard. "I promise you, I promise you, please don't act impulsively."

He paused, then added, "Yaoyao, as long as you don't leave me, I'll agree to anything you ask."

Shen Yao looked at the man in front of her with a cold smile, her eyes as calm as death.

Gu Tianyou thought she would refuse.

After a moment of silence, she said calmly, "Okay."

The woman agreed.

Gu Tianyou could hardly believe his ears.

Over the past two years, Shen Yao has rejected him far too many times.

So much so that Gu Tianyou was mentally prepared for the worst.

But the woman actually agreed.

He was overjoyed and wanted to rush over and hug the woman tightly.

However, he stopped in his tracks when he saw the woman's eyes, her bleeding neck, and the gleaming knife.

"Yaoyao, please put the knife down, okay? Put it down."

Gu Tianyou gently comforted Shen Yao, who, like a clay idol, slowly walked out of the room.

The cold knife was removed from the neck.

Shen Yao slumped onto the sofa and slowly closed her eyes.

Outside this villa, there were heavily armed mercenaries.

Shen Yao couldn't escape.

She stroked the child in her belly, her eyes filled with deep guilt and unfathomable hatred.

"The fetus is healthy, you can rest assured."

......

Shen Yao had a check-up at Xu Yang's place.

Xu Yang, a general practitioner, looked at the scans and smiled as he spoke to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yang looked out the car window. "Is he spying on you?"

He refers to Gu Tianyou, who was waiting downstairs.

Shen Yao remained noncommittal.

Silence is an admission.

Xu Yang's expression changed slightly. "Should I call the police?"

Shen Yao shook her head. "No need. I have ways to deal with him, and besides, I need to use him."

Xu Yang didn't quite understand what she was saying.

However, Xu Yang quickly understood.

"This kid..."

Shen Yao gave a bitter smile.

As Shen Yao went downstairs, she saw Gu Tianyou emerge from the Maserati and walk quickly toward her, a faint smile on his usually stern face.

I've known this man for almost twenty years.

This was the first time Shen Yao had seen this man smile at her.

Such laughter is ironically real.

"How to say."

"Everything is fine."

"Really."

"Ah."

Gu Tianyou opened the car door and let Shen Yao sit in the passenger seat.

Back to that suburban villa.

Gu Tianyou summoned all the servants and gave them instructions in a very serious manner.

"From now on, she will be your mistress."

A dozen or so Filipino maids bowed deeply to Shen Yao and said in broken Mandarin, "Greetings, Madam."

Shen Yao remained expressionless and simply said, "Okay."

After sending Shen Yao to the villa estate, Gu Tianyou had to rush off to the company to handle some business.

Gu Tianyou changed into his suit and habitually handed his tie to Shen Yao, hoping she would tie it for him as she always did.

However, Shen Yao simply sat on the sofa and quietly read a book.

The afternoon sun shone on her, casting a soft golden glow on her brown hair.

It also accentuated her flawless, porcelain-like skin.

But even with this golden light, it couldn't hide her coldness.

Gu Tianyou quietly withdrew his hand that was holding the tie.

"I'm going to the company."

"Ah."

Shen Yao's eyes remained fixed on the book.

Gu Tianyou looked at her, a hint of loneliness flashing in his eyes.

As he reached the door, Gu Tianyou still clung to a sliver of hope and looked back.

I hope women can take a look at themselves.

However, it seems that a woman's eyes are fixed on books.

He didn't even glance at her.

Gu Tianyou walked out, looking lost and dejected.

Hearing the sound of a car outside the yard, Shen Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The early summer afternoon was still muggy.

Shen Yao got up and went to lie down on the deck chair that was covered with grapevines in the yard.

Not far away, several mercenaries stood at a distance, intentionally or unintentionally watching Shen Yao's movements.

Lu Jiajia's WeChat video call came at that moment.

"Yaoyao, where have you been these past few days? I can't get in touch with you anywhere."

"I've run into some trouble, and I'm with Gu Tianyou right now."

"With Gu Tianyou?"

Lu Jiajia in the video showed a shocked expression.

Because in the video, Lu Jiajia saw a De's villa behind Shen Yao.

This scene doesn't look like something out of a company at all.

It didn't seem like it was at Shen Yao's home at all.

"Yes, he put me under house arrest."

"I'll call the police for you!"

"No need, I don't want to leave for now." Shen Yao's eyelids drooped, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and anger.

Almost at that moment, Lu Jiajia's pupils trembled slightly.

"Yaoyao, you're not trying to tell me that you've fallen for Gu Tianyou again, are you?"

"No, I'm not leaving because I have my own plans."

Shen Yao's gaze fell on her stomach.

Lu Jiajia was very clever and immediately understood what Shen Yao was planning to do.

She covered her mouth in shock, "Yaoyao, have you thought this through? Gu Tianyou will kill you!"
