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

A chilling smile tugged at the corners of Shen Yao's lips.

“Last night, he…”

She couldn't bear to continue speaking halfway through her story.

When Lu Jiajia saw how pained she looked, her expression changed instantly.

"This beast!"

But then, Lu Jiajia became nervous again.

"Bo Yuxiu's child..."

"Still there." Shen Yao gently stroked her belly, although it wasn't very obvious that she was already two months pregnant.

Lu Jiajia still felt that Shen Yao's plan was too dangerous.

After all, Gu Tianyou was never an easy person to talk to.

In the business world, he inherited his father Mr. Gu's decisive and efficient style.

Once he sets his sights on you, he'll skin you alive before he'll stop.

In terms of relationships, there's no need to elaborate.

Back then, Shen Yao lived under the same roof with him for so many years, yet she couldn't warm his heart. This was enough to prove how heartless this man was.

Right now, he seems to be completely obedient to Shen Yao, but isn't he still keeping her under house arrest?

Or perhaps, it's simply because he's been used to Shen Yao's love for him for so many years, so after the divorce, he wants to continue to have this unconditional love.

Since he is a heartless man, Gu Tianyou's anger upon discovering that Shen Yao had used him is understandable.

Lu Jiajia became more and more frightened the more she thought about it.

He still wanted to persuade Shen Yao to leave Gu Tianyou.

However, Shen Yao had already made her decision.

“Jiajia, when I woke up, I really wanted to strangle this man. Because of this man, he ruined my love, ruined my body and soul. But then I felt that letting him die would be too easy for him.”

"So, you want to get revenge on him?"

The more Lu Jiajia listened, the more frightened she felt.

"Yaoyao, this is too dangerous. If Gu Tianyou finds out that the child isn't his, he might kill you."

"Don't worry, that day will never come."

Just as Lu Jiajia was about to say something, Gu Tianyou suddenly called.

Shen Yao said she would contact Lu Jiajia when she had time, and then ended the video call.

"Yaoyao, what do you want to eat tonight?"

On the phone, Gu Tianyou's voice was still the same indifferent tone as before.

However, his tone revealed an undisguised joy.

"It will be all right."

"I'll take you to a newly opened Japanese sushi restaurant."

"it is good."

Hearing the woman's cold response on the other end of the phone, Gu Tianyou felt a little down.

However, the thought of having women by his side in the future made him smile slightly.

At 5 p.m., Shen Yao got into a Bentley under the "protection" of two mercenaries.

When we arrived at the sushi restaurant, we saw Gu Tianyou already sitting there waiting.

Upon seeing Shen Yao, Gu Tianyou waved to her.

"here."

Shen Yao stood at the door, nodded, walked over, and sat down opposite him.

"Didn't you say you really liked Japanese food? Here, try this salmon."

Gu Tianyou picked up a piece of salmon and held it to Shen Yao's lips.

Shen Yao's lips remained pursed, not parted.

Gu Tianyou's smile gradually faded.

"Yaoyao, open your mouth."

Shen Yao opened her mouth slightly, like a puppet on a string.

Gu Tianyou's expression softened slightly.

After taking a few bites of salmon, Shen Yao didn't want to eat anymore. Instead, she sat there quietly, watching the man elegantly enjoy his meal.

The man seemed to be in a good mood.

They would occasionally reminisce about some of the interesting things that happened when Grandpa Gu was alive.

In the past, Shen Yao would have talked to him endlessly about interesting things from the past.

However, she has absolutely no interest in it now.

He looked sullen.

Gu Tianyou was still trying to find a topic to talk about.

However, seeing that Shen Yao wasn't in a good mood, he didn't know what to say.

After finishing the sushi, Gu Tianyou said he would take Shen Yao to the beach to enjoy the breeze.

In early summer, a stroll along the beach is the most pleasant way to relax.

Shen Yao walked at the front, her feet crunching on the fine sand, which made her feel much better.

Gu Tianyou walked behind her, making a phone call.

"Our bottom line for concessions on this project is here; we cannot compromise any further."

As they talked, Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao gradually increased the distance between them.

Shen Yao is getting further and further away from Gu Tianyou.

In a dimly lit shadow, a shadow always followed, neither too close nor too far.

The sounds of the waves and the wind masked the scent of her footsteps.

The constant flow of people on the beach also effectively concealed her somewhat flustered expression as she approached Shen Yao.

Shen Yao got tired and stopped, gazing at the boundless sea in the distance, lost in thought.

The woman who tried to approach her gradually emerged from the darkness.

A sharp dagger was hidden in the wide sleeves of her skirt.

Just as Shen Yao was still gazing intently at the ebb and flow of the tide in the distance, the woman behind her suddenly raised a sharp knife and stabbed it towards her chest.

The tide rose, making a splashing sound.

The frolicking crowd occasionally burst into laughter.

The sharp knife the woman raised was driven deep into the sand.

Her hands were pinned behind her back, but her head still stubbornly stared at Shen Yao.

"Damn it, that was close!"

"Young Madam, are you alright?"

The mercenary wearing sunglasses nervously approached Shen Yao and asked her a question.

Shen Yao looked at the woman who had been pinned to the ground by the suddenly appearing mercenaries and said calmly, "It's nothing."

Gu Tianyou, who was making a phone call not far away, sensed something was wrong and hurried over without delay.

He grabbed Shen Yao's shoulders with both hands and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"

"No." Shen Yao, who had been so calm just moments before, showed a hint of fear upon seeing Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou frowned, noticing that her expression was not quite right, and his eyes were full of heartache.

"Don't worry, I won't let the person who hurt you get away with it!"

Shen Yao clutched her chest and looked at the woman who was being pinned to the ground.

"If this person were her, would you feel the same way?"

Without even thinking, Gu Tianyou said directly, "No matter who it is, I will never let anyone who dares to hurt you get away with it."

Shen Yao raised her hand and slowly pointed to the woman whose hands were tied behind her back.

"She's going to kill me."

Gu Tianyou released Shen Yao and turned sharply to look at the woman who had been grabbed. "Fine, you wait."

With that, he turned and walked to the woman who was being held down, and said coldly, "Raise your head."

The disheveled woman slowly raised her head.

Even at the beach, there are quite a few lights.

By the light of the lamp in the distance, Gu Tianyou could see the woman's face clearly.

His deep, dark pupils contracted sharply.

The sea breeze blew, blowing away the hair that covered the woman's face.

His face was extremely familiar.

Gu Tianyou clenched his fists little by little, gritting his teeth as he said, "It was you!"

The woman saw the disappointment and ruthlessness in Gu Tianyou's eyes, nodded slightly, raised her head, and then laughed loudly.

"Yes, it's me. Surprised?"
