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

Bo Xilai's questioning was piercing to the ear and stung to the heart.

He deliberately gave Old Master Bo the illusion that Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao were together.

However, Shen Yao was not actually with him willingly.

However, he couldn't let Old Master Bo see it.

"You don't need to worry about that. Shen Yao will definitely forgive me and understand me."

Old Master Bo sneered repeatedly.

"Do you dare to let Shen Yao come out and confront me?"

Gu Tianyou certainly wouldn't let Shen Yao talk to Old Master Bo alone.

His mind works very quickly.

"If Shen Yao knew that you were also the instigator, how would she view you?"

Old Master Bo's expression tightened.

His initially arrogant expression gradually diminished after hearing Gu Tianyou's words.

He closed his eyes in pain.

He recalled how he had stripped his grandson of his right to be a mercenary in order to prevent him from being with Shen Yao.

He also had all his rights in the military frozen.

This also led to Bo Yuxiu's death because he did not receive the priority emergency treatment he was entitled to immediately after the attack.

But ultimately, it was because when Bo Yuxiu went to fight Shen Dequan and the others, there were no mercenaries protecting him.

Where did those mercenaries who had been protecting Bo Yuxiu go?

Almost all of them were removed by Bo Xilai.

He used this method to force Bo Yuxiu to submit and to force Bo Yuxiu to kick Shen Yao away.

Unfortunately, these things did not lead Bo Yuxiu away from Shen Yao; instead, they led to Bo Yuxiu's death in an unexpected gunfight.

Given Bo Yuxiu's skill in combat, he shouldn't have been shot so many times.

This was all because, prior to this, Old Master Bo had drugged Bo Yuxiu in an attempt to manipulate him and drive a wedge between him and Shen Yao.

Bo Yuxiu still looks like a normal person, but his limbs and mind are not as responsive as before.

A neurological organization that administered the medication said that once the medication was stopped, the patient would return to normal after three months.

However, Bo Yuxiu noticed Shen Dequan's actions as soon as his medication was stopped.

Old Master Bo knew perfectly well that Bo Yuxiu's death couldn't be entirely blamed on Shen Yao.

But, if it's not Shen Yao's fault, how is he supposed to face such a cruel reality?

Therefore, he can only and must blame Shen Yao.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Shen Yao, Ashu wouldn't have died! Even if you don't hand her over today, I'll find a way to get close to her!"

After issuing his final ultimatum, Old Master Bo left in anger.

"Old man, if you dare to lay a finger on Shen Yao, your great-grandson will also die."

Gu Tianyou shouted at the old man's back.

He, Gu Tianyou, would also threaten.

After finally getting rid of Old Master Bo, Gu Tianyou slumped into a chair.

He rubbed his temples with one hand and closed his eyes wearily.

At this moment, Wang Ma came over and said cautiously, "Young Master and Young Madam want to see you."

Upon hearing Shen Yao call his name, Gu Tianyou sighed and stood up again.

I argued with Mr. Bo for a long time.

When I came out again, I found that the sun had already set.

The setting sun dyed the sky a blood red.

Gu Tianyou walked in the sunset and saw Shen Yao sitting on a wicker chair under a flower trellis not far away.

The setting sun cast a soft, golden-red glow upon her.

Her long shadow was also left on the ground.

"Aunt Wang has already prepared the meal. Let's go eat first."

Gu Tianyou walked up to the woman, gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and said softly.

The woman raised her head, her dark eyes filled with icy coldness.

"Gu Tianyou, have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Even against the light, Gu Tianyou could still see the woman's face, which had turned deathly pale with anger.

He recalled his actions towards the woman and felt deeply remorseful.

Two figures overlapped on the ground.

The man's tall frame gradually shrunk.

He knelt on one knee and grasped the woman's right hand with both hands.

"Yaoyao, I miss you so much."

The woman stared into the man's eyes, her eyes bloodshot.

"Is it because you miss me too much, or do you simply want to possess me?"

"I acknowledge all the faults, all the mistakes."

Now that things have come to this, Gu Tianyou gritted his teeth and stopped avoiding his problems.

He seemed to sense the coldness in the woman's eyes.

Gu Tianyou gripped Shen Yao's hand even tighter, and his tone became increasingly firm.

"I'll admit whatever mistakes I've made. You can hit me, you can yell at me, but don't even think about leaving me."

Hearing the man's words, Shen Yao's eyes widened in fury.

"Gu Tianyou, who are you putting on this act of deep affection for? Me, or yourself?"

The woman's words pierced Gu Tianyou's heart like a knife.

That sounds so familiar.

Back then, when Shen Yao pursued him relentlessly, hoping he would come home, he said the same thing to her.

"You know perfectly well why I married you. This deep affection, who is it for? I will not be your audience."

Looking back on the past and seeing the woman's icy gaze, he bitterly smiled at himself, thinking he deserved it.

Yes.

He deserved it.

Seeing the man's expression shift from dejected to smiling with his head down, Shen Yao felt baffled.

"Don't touch me again!"

After finishing her sentence, Shen Yao left in a hurry.

Halfway there, Shen Yao felt her legs getting weak.

Dinner was eaten in complete silence.

During the meal, Gu Tianyou served Shen Yao food several times.

However, Shen Yao didn't move at all.

He just kept eating his own food.

After dinner, Gu Tianyou suggested taking a walk together, but Shen Yao declined.

After dark, Shen Yao and Wang Ma took a walk in the garden.

Aunt Wang pushed the stroller and walked beside her.

Looking at Shen Yao's tense brows, she couldn't help but say, "Young Madam, there are always misunderstandings and arguments between husband and wife. Once you get used to it and work things out, things will naturally get better."

During this time, while taking care of Shen Yao, Wang Ma also witnessed her arguing with Gu Tianyou.

In the eyes of Wang Ma's older generation, it is normal for couples to quarrel.

Therefore, she felt that Shen Yao and Gu Tianyou would get along well after a little time.

Moreover, the two had been married and lived together.

It'll be fine after a break-in period.

Shen Yao sneered.

"We've been married for three years and still haven't gotten along. Will things be better now?"

"Young Madam, are you still holding a grudge about what happened back then? I think the young master has really changed this time. He cares about you and is considerate of your feelings, doesn't he?"

“Wang Ma, please stop talking. Even if he changes, I don’t love him anymore.”

Shen Yao knew that Wang Ma had watched Gu Tianyou grow up, so she would definitely speak up for Gu Tianyou.

"Madam, the young master seems to be ill."

Wang Ma suddenly called out to Shen Yao and touched Gu Haoxuan's forehead.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao quickly walked to the stroller and reached out to touch Hao Xuan's forehead.

It was found to be very hot.

She quickly scooped up Haoxuan, who was just over a month old, and hurried toward the room.

Gu Tianyou, who had just finished his meeting, rushed to the room as soon as he heard that Xiao Haoxuan was sick.

Upon entering the room, I saw Shen Yao using a wrung-out towel to cool Hao Xuan down.

He walked over quickly and saw that Shen Yao's face was pale. He hurriedly said, "You've had a long day. Let me take care of him."

Shen Yao looked wearily at the concerned man in front of her and shook her head.

"I will take care of my own child."
