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

"Young Madam, what's wrong?"

Uncle Wang saw that Shen Yao's face was pale and assumed that she was not feeling well.

Shen Yao quickly waved her hand, "No, I'm just tired, it's nothing."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the second floor.

I habitually entered the master bedroom.

To be precise, Shen Yao has gotten used to sleeping in the master bedroom for the past six years.

Because Gu Tianyou wouldn't let her sleep in any other room.

After taking a shower, Shen Yao washed away her fatigue and lay down on the bed.

She turned to the side and slowly closed her eyes.

The rustling sounds that used to be heard behind me were no longer heard.

She didn't know why she felt a little uncomfortable.

But she was too tired and fell into a deep sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already 3 p.m. the next day.

She habitually looked towards the side of the bed when she got up.

The man is not here.

The sense of loss in my heart grew little by little.

To prevent this disappointment from escalating, Shen Yao quickly got up and washed up.

After a quick dinner and saying goodbye to Haoxuan who was going to school, Shen Yao sat in her study and held two meetings.

The first meeting was for pharmaceutical companies, where we reported on the progress of each project and the difficulties we encountered.

The second meeting was for all medical staff in the hospital, and it summarized the aspects that needed improvement based on patient feedback during this period.

The meeting ended at 5 o'clock.

Thinking that Gu Tianyou might not be able to eat due to chemotherapy, Shen Yao specially prepared some appetizing and light side dishes.

After arriving at the hospital, she told Wang Ma to go home and rest.

In order to better take care of Tianyou, Shen Yao searched online for a professional medical caregiver.

In this way, Wang Ma wouldn't have to run around, and could concentrate on accompanying and taking care of Hao Xuan.

As Gu Tianyou watched Shen Yao open one exquisite food box after another, his stomach began to churn.

"Come on, try this dish, it's very appetizing."

Shen Yao handed the stir-fried lettuce and beef to Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou suppressed his nausea and tasted a bite or two of the meat.

Seeing that he could eat, Shen Yao pushed the vegetables in front of him.

Gu Tianyou picked up his chopsticks, about to pick up some food, when suddenly the chopsticks fell to the ground.

Shen Yao looked up in shock and saw that his hand, which was holding chopsticks, had fallen limply to his side.

"Go away, I don't need you to take care of me, you go and do your work."

The man who had been all smiles just moments before suddenly changed his expression and ruthlessly drove the woman away.

Shen Yao looked at the man's hands, which were clenched tightly together and trembling slightly, and she understood everything.

Without making a sound, she picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of beef, and brought it to his lips.

"Come on, open your mouth."

The man bit his lip tightly.

Shen Yao sighed and had to continue, as if coaxing a child, "How can you get better if you don't eat? If you don't get better, who will take care of me and Haoxuan in the future?"

The man, however, was ungrateful.

“Aren’t there Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang? They can take care of you just the same.”

Shen Yao looked at the man who acted like a child and couldn't help but laugh at his words.

"Gu Tianyou, I am a married man, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, the man slowly raised his head.

"Husband? Am I your husband?"

The man seemed to be asking the woman, but he also seemed to be asking himself.

For some unknown reason, the man gave a self-deprecating laugh.

With red-rimmed eyes, he asked the woman in front of him the same question he had just asked.

"Am I really your husband? Do you really consider me your husband?"

Faced with the man's questioning, Shen Yao felt inexplicably guilty.

She stared at the chopsticks in her hand, unsure of what to say.

"Why don't you speak?"

The man was aggressive.

What should Shen Yao say?

she does not know.

For the past five years, this man has kept his promise and has not forced himself on her; at most, he has only hugged her from behind while they sleep.

The man did indeed fulfill his responsibilities as a father to Haoxuan.

Gu Tianyou was never absent from Haoxuan's first words, first steps, first run, first day of kindergarten, first parent-teacher meeting... so many firsts.

In fact, Shen Yao asked herself honestly, and she might not even be as competent as Gu Tianyou as her biological mother.

Even as a husband, Gu Tianyou was very considerate to Shen Yao.

Since his remarriage, Gu Tianyou has almost never worked overtime and insists on driving Shen Yao to the research institute every day.

Gu Tianyou meticulously prepared for Shen Yao's birthday and their wedding anniversary.

When Shen Yao fell ill, Gu Tianyou would take care of her tirelessly, without ever taking off his clothes.

However, if Gu Tianyou needed her help, Shen Yao would always put his business last.

Sometimes, when Gu Tianyou was sick, Shen Yao would prescribe the medicine and have Wang Ma take care of him while she went to attend to her work.

Upon closer reflection, this becomes clear.

Over the past five years, Gu Tianyou has been extremely dedicated as both a husband and a father.

On the contrary, it was her...

Shen Yao raised her eyes and looked into the man's deep eyes, her voice choked with emotion.

"I was wrong in the past. I will definitely be a good wife to you from now on, okay? You should eat first."

The man felt somewhat uncomfortable listening to the woman's gentle voice.

Over the years, this woman has stopped being as cold and sarcastic towards him as she was at the beginning of their marriage.

However, the politeness they displayed in their conversations always created a great distance between them.

This was the first time in five years of marriage that he had heard a woman speak to him so gently and sincerely.

He couldn't help but pinch himself.

Seeing this, the woman asked worriedly, "Where do you feel unwell?"

Gu Tianyou shook his head and said to the woman, "I just wanted to feel the pain to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Because it's been such a long, long time since you've been so gentle with me."

Hearing the man's words, Shen Yao could no longer hold back and turned her head away.

Today, her tears seem worthless.

It just keeps falling.

When Gu Tianyou saw her turn around, he thought she was angry and about to leave, so he couldn't help but tug at her sleeve.

Are you leaving again?

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao quickly wiped away her tears, turned around, and said with a smile, "I've said it before, from today onwards, I will fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as a wife."

She was smiling, but her heart was aching.

She felt especially distressed when she saw the cautious look in the man's eyes.

She picked up her chopsticks again and carefully fed the man.

At first, the man refused.

However, under Shen Yao's "coercion and enticement" and various forms of coaxing, he finally began to accept being fed by women.

"I'm full, I can't eat too much."

Gu Tianyou's appetite was not very good due to chemotherapy.

He forced himself to taste a little of all the dishes Shen Yao brought.

Shen Yao knew he was in pain, so she didn't press him further.

After tidying up the lunchbox, she told the man she was going out to buy some fruit and would be back soon.

The man nodded, and added as he finished, "Come back soon."

Shen Yao sensed the man's unease, so she gently took his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
