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

The sound of a man showering could be heard coming from the bathroom.

Lying in bed, listening to the sound of water, Shen Yao gradually fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took.

I vaguely felt a warm sensation coming from behind me.

Immediately following was the scent of a man, wafting towards me from behind.

Shen Yao slightly opened her eyes, then slowly closed them again.

She pretended to be asleep.

The man gently wrapped his large hand around her slender waist and hugged her from behind.

No further action was taken.

Instead, he gently rested his head on the woman's slender shoulder.

Shen Yao remained motionless, like a marionette.

"It's so good to have you here; I feel so at ease."

A man's low murmuring came from beside my ear.

Shen Yao's whole body was tense, but she still pretended to be fast asleep.

She only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the man's even breathing.

The man seemed really tired and was sleeping soundly.

Even when Shen Yao turned over and lay flat on her back, he still didn't wake up.

By the faint moonlight streaming through the window, Shen Yao gazed at the man's handsome face as he slept soundly, feeling as if everything had happened in another world.

During the three years of their marriage, they shared a bed no more than five times.

Yet, after the divorce, they lay so peacefully in bed together.

There was no passion, no arguments, and no disdain.

All of this happened so naturally, just like an old married couple.

As Shen Yao watched, she gradually fell asleep.

She was already pregnant, and once she fell asleep, she was completely immersed in a dream.

I noticed that the woman's breathing was becoming more and more even.

The man slowly opened his eyes, his long, slender fingers gently stroking the woman's face.

His fingertips slid down the woman's eyebrows, little by little.

Eyes, nose, lips.

The woman's lips were slightly parted, with a faint blush.

The man stood up and gently pecked the woman's lips.

I slept until 5 a.m. the next day.

When Shen Yao woke up, she found herself lying in Gu Tianyou's arms.

She quickly struggled to get out of the man's arms.

The man mumbled incoherently and held Shen Yao tightly in his arms.

"Don't leave."

Shen Yao paused slightly, stopping what she was doing.

She tilted her head slightly, thinking the man had woken up.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the man's eyes were still tightly closed.

Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to forcefully break free of the man's hands, she heard him muttering in his sleep.

"Don't leave me, don't leave me..."

Left with no other choice, Shen Yao could only change her position and continue sleeping in Gu Tianyou's arms.

When she woke up again, she was alone in bed.

She glanced at the time and realized it was already 7:30.

After changing her clothes, she opened the door and saw that her Filipino maid was already waiting outside.

"Young Madam, your breakfast is ready. Please have your meal first."

"Oh, I see."

Shen Yao responded to the Filipino maid, who bowed deeply to her and withdrew.

After a quick breakfast, Shen Yao passed by the study on the first floor and saw Gu Tianyou wearing dark-rimmed glasses, typing rapidly on his computer.

This man really made his office at home!

Shen Yao's lips twitched violently.

Just as she was about to walk away quickly, the man in the study suddenly beckoned to her.

Shen Yao pointed to herself.

Gu Tianyou nodded.

Upon entering the study, Gu Tianyou called Shen Yao to his side and placed his well-defined fingers on the mouse.

A short while later, a very exquisite and beautiful ring appeared on the computer screen.

"Take a look, do you like it?"

Shen Yao stared at the ring design on the computer, knowing perfectly well what the man was asking.

However, she still pretended not to know anything.

"what is this?"

Gu Tianyou nodded slightly on the computer screen with his long, slender fingers.

"The engagement ring for you."

The man spoke with the earnestness of a child.

Seeing that Shen Yao remained silent, the man turned his chair around to face her directly.

"Don't you like it?"

Shen Yao looked into the man's sincere eyes and shook her head.

"Don't like it? Then let me show you another one."

The man took Shen Yao's head shake as a sign of dislike and opened another photo of a ring.

"What about this?"

When Shen Yao saw that he had opened another photo, she knew that he had misunderstood her meaning.

"Gu Tianyou, it's not that I don't like engagement rings. It's just..."

"Okay, I understand. No wedding ring needed, then I'll have a necklace custom-made for you. Do you like the Heart of the Ocean necklace from Titanic?"

"Tianyou, I don't need any of these."

Seeing that he was about to turn on the computer to show her the necklace design, Shen Yao quickly pressed his wrist down with her hand.

"I will not marry you, you know what I mean, so I don't need these rings or necklaces."

The woman spoke so clearly that Gu Tianyou had no choice but to pretend he couldn't hear her.

His hand, which had been resting on the mouse, stiffened slightly.

"You don't have to do with any of that. I'll give you the grandest wedding in the city."

The man continued talking to himself.

Shen Yao turned her head to look at the man's profile. Seeing that he had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say either, so she turned to leave.

But as soon as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed by the man.

Shen Yao turned her head, wanting the man to let go, but he suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"Gu Tianyou!" Shen Yao was startled and couldn't help but curse.

"If you don't want to marry me, who do you want to marry? Do you want to marry a dead man like Bo Yuxiu?"

"Shut up, you're not worthy to mention his name!"

Shen Yao used all her strength to try to break free from Gu Tianyou.

But Gu Tianyou held her down firmly, forcing her to lie in his arms.

"Shen Yao, only I can give you happiness. Only I can make you happy. You can only marry me!"

Looking into the man's bloodshot eyes, Shen Yao's heart skipped a beat.

Are those tears welling up in this man's eyes?

Shen Yao subconsciously turned her head away, not wanting to look at the man.

For some reason, she could look directly into a man's angry glare and insults, but she couldn't look directly into his vulnerability.

"Look at me."

Seeing that Shen Yao had turned her head away and was not looking at him, Gu Tianyou felt even more resentful.

He cupped the woman's face in his hands, forcing her to look at him.

And so, the woman was forced to lie in his arms, her face fixed in one position by the man.

Shen Yao had no choice but to look at the man in front of her again.

"Gu Tianyou, why? Why do you insist on marrying me? There are so many women in the world, why do you have to marry me?"

"because I love you.

Those three words were about to slip out.

However, after noticing the impatience in the woman's eyes, Gu Tianyou swallowed his "I love you" back down.

He concealed the deep affection in his eyes, and instead, as always, coldly gripped Shen Yao's chin.

"Shen Yao, I'm always the one dumping others, how can anyone refuse me? Besides, you're pregnant with my child. Are you going to take the child and marry another man, making my child call someone else 'father'?"
