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

When Ye Yingying was discharged from the hospital, she saw Gu Tianyou announce at a press conference that he had married Shen Yao and had a child.

Ye Yingying was disheartened for a long time.

She even went to see Gu Tianyou, but Gu Tianyou refused to see her at all.

When Shen Yao heard Ye Yingying say that she was going to find Gu Tianyou, she finally paused slightly.

"You still have something on your mind, and you always like to go to Gu Tianyou."

Seeing Shen Yao stop, Ye Yingying smiled.

This woman must be panicking.

She sneered repeatedly, "Shen Yao, are you afraid that Gu Tianyou will find out the truth?"

Shen Yao was indeed afraid.

However, she couldn't show it.

So she just smiled calmly.

"I don't know if Gu Tianyou loves me or not. But I do know that he loves Haoxuan very much. This is a father's true love for his child."

"True love? What if Gu Tianyou finds out this child isn't his?"

Ye Yingying stared intently at Shen Yao's face and asked, word by word.

Shen Yao's knuckles gradually grew cold.

"If you want to say it, I can't stop you. Do whatever you want."

After leaving those words, Shen Yao opened the door and quickly walked out.

Behind me came Ye Yingying's heart-wrenching voice.

"Shen Yao, you just wait."

Taking a deep breath, Shen Yao clenched her fist.

She pressed the down button on the elevator and quickly stepped into it.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Shen Yao gently leaned back inside.

Thinking of what Ye Yingying had said, Shen Yao couldn't help but tense up.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, Gu Tianyou called, right on cue.

Looking at the familiar phone number, Shen Yao hesitated to answer it.

She finally had to answer the phone when it rang again after she stepped out of the elevator.

"Are you done?"

"Ah."

"Wait for me at the research institute. I'll have Uncle Wang pick you up."

"No need, I'm already in a taxi."

"Then... be careful, I'll be waiting for you to come home."

After hanging up with Gu Tianyou, Shen Yao stood blankly by the roadside, watching the cars coming and going, and then hailed a taxi.

As soon as he got home, he saw Gu Tianyou sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? Didn't the doctor tell you to go to bed early?"

Gu Tianyou put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up, and took the shoulder bag from Shen Yao's shoulder.

"I can't sleep if you don't come back."

Looking at the man's deep-set eyes, Shen Yao didn't dare to look him in the eye, and instead turned her head and went upstairs.

Behind her was Gu Tianyou's concerned voice.

Have you had dinner?

Hearing Gu Tianyou ask this, Shen Yao realized that she hadn't eaten.

"I...am not hungry."

With that, she went straight up to the second floor.

Gu Tianyou watched the woman's figure disappear into the room, then turned and walked into the kitchen.

Wang Ma prepared extra food, specifically saving it for Shen Yao.

Gu Tianyou heated up some pork rib soup and a bowl of rice, then took them to the room.

"Eat this first, then take a shower."

Shen Yao didn't want to eat at first, but when she saw Gu Tianyou personally serving it to her, she sat down on the sofa and started eating.

Seeing Shen Yao enjoying her meal, Gu Tianyou couldn't help but smile slightly.

“You rarely stayed this late in the lab before.”

Shen Yao was eating when she heard Gu Tianyou ask her that question and almost choked.

She coughed softly a few times, swallowed the food in her throat, and then looked up at the man in front of her.

"The experimental data was a bit off today, and I had to rematch it several times before it worked. That's why I got home quite late."

Gu Tianyou looked into Shen Yao's eyes and asked again.

"Is it really?"

Shen Yao nodded, "Yes, that's right."

Gu Tianyou sighed.

“You are now the dean and the director of the research institute. There is no need for you to do everything yourself. You will exhaust yourself.”

Shen Yao was on tenterhooks when Gu Tianyou kept asking about tonight's events, thinking he wanted to know her whereabouts.

Hearing that he was only worried about his health, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, Gu Tianyou was right.

Shen Yao is not the same as before.

Doing everything yourself is really too tiring.

Perhaps Shen Yao should indeed delegate more tasks to her subordinates.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to be in two places at once.

Thinking of this, she nodded to Gu Tianyou.

"I will give your suggestion a good consideration."

When Gu Tianyou heard Shen Yao say that, a smile appeared on his handsome face.

As time went by, Gu Tianyou's features became increasingly rugged.

Although the crow's feet at the corners of my eyes are a sign of the passage of time.

However, with the passage of time, this man has become even more refined than before.

In particular, he looked more composed and steady when he wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses.

"Okay, I just hope you can take good care of yourself. Come home when you're tired, I can support you."

Gu Tianyou smiled and gently stroked Shen Yao's face.

Shen Yao instinctively avoided it.

Her subtle movement caused Gu Tianyou's hand to miss its target.

Gu Tianyou's hand froze, hovering in mid-air.

A hint of melancholy flashed across his handsome face.

"After you've finished eating, clean up for me. You go take a shower first."

"Okay, thank you."

Shen Yao still politely thanked the man.

Upon hearing the thank you, Gu Tianyou's lips twitched slightly, but he said nothing more.

Silently, I picked up my bowl and chopsticks and went downstairs.

Upon arriving at the kitchen on the first floor, Gu Tianyou soaked the bowls and chopsticks in the sink.

Even after all these years, he still isn't used to washing dishes.

So, we just left it there and waited for Aunt Wang to come and clean it in the morning.

He washed his hands, walked out of the kitchen, and was about to go upstairs.

My phone vibrated in my pocket.

Gu Tianyou took out his phone, and when he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar number, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He walked to the courtyard on the first floor and pressed the answer button.

"what's up?"

The man's voice was unusually cold.

Ye Yingying had already prepared herself mentally.

However, she still felt a chill when she heard the man's cold voice.

"Brother Tianyou, can't you be a little gentler with me?"

Gu Tianyou raised his watch and checked the time; it was already 10 p.m.

At this point in time, he should be trying to conceive with Shen Yao.

"You should be grateful that I answered your call. Just say what you have to say."

Even though Ye Yingying pleaded desperately, the man's attitude remained unchanged.

Instead, he seemed a little impatient.

"Brother Tianyou, I want to meet with you to talk to you about something."

Gu Tianyou refused almost without thinking.

"I'm already married, so it's not appropriate for me to meet you privately. Let's talk on the phone."

The man's quick rejection caught Ye Yingying off guard.

She could only say what she was going to say tonight in advance.

"Brother Tianyou, this matter involves you and Haoxuan, so it's not convenient to talk about it on the phone."
