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

Hearing the man say that, Shen Yao's face burned like fire.

She quickly turned around and said irritably, "It's fine as long as you can wash it yourself."

After saying that, she quickly fled the bathroom.

Only after confirming that the man had finished showering did Shen Yao pick up her clothes and head towards the bathroom.

Just as I reached the door, I bumped into a man coming out of the shower room.

Shen Yao quickly dodged to the side.

But the man grabbed her arm.

"Why are you still trying to avoid me?"

Shen Yao's heart pounded wildly as the man grabbed her wrist.

She didn't know what she was afraid of.

She simply wanted to break free from the constraints of men.

The man gripped his hand tightly, his voice hoarse.

"Even at this point, are you still going to renege on your promise?"

Shen Yao's throat tightened. "I didn't say I was going to cheat. I just wanted to take a shower as soon as possible."

Hearing Shen Yao say that, the man breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her hand.

"Okay, then you go."

Seeing that the man had finally let her go, Shen Yao quickly ran to the bathroom.

The moment she locked the door, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I took a shower for almost an hour.

Shen Yao even dried her hair inside before reluctantly coming out of the bathroom.

She thought that after waiting for so long, the man would surely fall asleep.

But when she got to the room, the man was sitting on the bed, staring straight at her.

Shen Yao knew she couldn't escape tonight.

All told, it's actually been almost six years.

The man lay on the same bed with her, and indeed did not force her to have sex.

This was far beyond Shen Yao's expectations.

"You've been taking a long time in this bath."

The man patted the edge of his bed as he spoke, "It's getting late, come to bed quickly."

"it is good."

Shen Yao sat down on the edge of the bed, and as soon as she lay down, the man pulled her into his arms.

The scent of the man's shower gel wafted directly into Shen Yao's nostrils.

"Shen Yao, are you willing?"

Holding the man tightly in her arms, Shen Yao felt her body temperature rise rapidly.

"What do you want?"

She knew perfectly well what the man was asking.

However, Shen Yao still asked the question knowing the answer already.

The man rested his head on Shen Yao's shoulder, his voice low and gentle.

"Weren't you prepared?"

Shen Yao gave a faint "hmm".

The man said softly, "It's okay, I'll be very gentle."

Shen Yao's breath hitched.

The man rolled over and climbed on top of him.

He pinned Shen Yao down.

I don't know if time has smoothed out this man's rough edges, or if this man has really changed.

His movements were very light and gentle.

Shen Yao's body gradually relaxed.

All night long.

Shen Yao woke up again at eight o'clock the next morning.

I habitually turned my head to look at the side.

Gu Tianyou got up very early.

Shen Yao struggled to sit up, feeling conflicted and pained as she recalled what had happened last night.

She did this voluntarily.

What does "voluntary" mean?

Did she herself begin to accept Gu Tianyou?

The thought of this intensified Shen Yao's pain.

She hurriedly got out of bed and found the bed in a mess.

This serves as a reminder of everything that happened last night.

Shen Yao quickly put on her clothes, rummaged through her medicine box, took out two birth control pills, and swallowed them.

Are you feeling unwell?

Gu Tianyou's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Startled, Shen Yao quickly pulled the medicine box into her pocket.

"I have a sore throat."

"Does it hurt?"

Gu Tianyou walked over quickly, and when Shen Yao saw him approaching, she hurriedly took out a box of cold granules from the medicine box.

"It's alright, I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

"Are you really okay?"

Seeing that Shen Yao's expression was not good, Gu Tianyou asked again.

Shen Yao closed the medicine box and nodded.

"It's just a common cold."

Hearing Shen Yao say this, Gu Tianyou's worried expression eased slightly.

He put his arm around Shen Yao's waist and asked with a smile, "Last night, I tried so hard, do you think we'll still have a child?"

Upon hearing Gu Tianyou's words, Shen Yao swallowed the birth control pill.

She and Gu Tianyou had a child a long time ago.

This child was taken in by Gu Tianyou...

Seemingly sensing Shen Yao's sadness, Gu Tianyou hugged her even tighter.

"I was wrong in the past."

With that, Gu Tianyou released Shen Yao.

This arrogant man, who never admitted his mistakes, actually stood in front of Shen Yao and slowly knelt down.

Shen Yao couldn't believe her eyes.

"Yaoyao, it was my fault. Please forgive me, okay?"

Looking at the man kneeling on the ground, Shen Yao didn't know what to do.

Should we forgive him?

But can forgiveness undo all the damage?

If she didn't forgive him, Shen Yao would feel that she was being too harsh.

After all, Shen Yao had witnessed the changes in the man over the past six years.

He transformed from a selfish, heartless person into a good father and even a good husband.

Shen Yao remained silent, and Gu Tianyou assumed she was still angry, so he gently called her name.

"Yao Yao?"

"You still won't forgive me?"

Gu Tianyou's voice brought Shen Yao back to her senses.

She looked down at the man and saw him kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes.

Shen Yao could hardly believe her eyes.

Did this man actually cry?

This was something Shen Yao couldn't believe.

"Get up, don't kneel, you're all better now."

Gu Tianyou is indeed very stubborn.

"You won't forgive me?"

Seeing that the man was kneeling, Shen Yao was worried that he might suddenly faint.

After all, this man was just discharged from the hospital yesterday.

In order to stop him from kneeling, Shen Yao had no choice but to nod against her will.

"I forgive you. Get up, okay?"

Upon hearing Shen Yao say that she was willing to forgive him, Gu Tianyou stopped kneeling and stood up.

As soon as he got up, he hugged Shen Yao.

"Yaoyao, thank you."

Feeling embraced by the man, Shen Yao stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Especially when Gu Tianyou started to express his hope that they could have another child, Shen Yao felt a mix of emotions.

"Yaoyao, you've seen it all these past few years."

Shen Yao asked, "What did you see?"

Gu Tianyou said, "I saw that I could be a good father."

Hearing him say that, Shen Yao couldn't help but agree with his point of view.

"Yes, I know you're very good to Haoxuan."

As soon as she said those words, Shen Yao thought of how she had compromised and been with Gu Tianyou back then, just to get revenge on him.

To this day, the man still doesn't know that Haoxuan is not his biological son.

If he finds out the truth one day, will he still treat Haoxuan well?

Will he still speak so gently to me?

Shen Yao felt increasingly frightened as she thought about it.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but look up at the man.

Seeing the man gazing at her with such affection, Shen Yao felt even more uneasy.

"Gu Tianyou, why are you so good to Haoxuan?"

Shen Yao looked at the man cautiously and asked the question.

The light in Gu Tianyou's eyes dimmed instantly.

Seeing his expression, Shen Yao's heart jumped.
