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

The thought that one day in the future, loving couples might turn against each other is unbearable.

Wang Ma couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

She finally understood Uncle Wang's worries.

"We've hidden all of Young Master Haoxuan's things well; the young mistress shouldn't find them."

Uncle Wang nodded.

"Yes, they're all locked in the basement. The young mistress shouldn't find out. Besides, I have the key to the basement."

Aunt Wang looked at Uncle Wang, and the two exchanged knowing smiles.

As they gazed at the snowflakes drifting outside the courtyard, they shared the same wish: that the young mistress and young master, this couple who had endured so much hardship, could continue to be happy.

The cold wind howled outside.

The heating in the room was on full blast.

Even though Shen Yao was wearing a thin long-sleeved summer nightgown, she didn't feel cold.

She pulled her pajamas off halfway, revealing her snow-white chest.

Ye Yingying's knife pierced her left chest, quite deeply.

Gu Tianyou was carefully applying medicine to the wound.

The wound had actually started to heal and scab over, but Gu Tianyou was worried about scarring, so he bought imported scar removal medicine and applied it to Shen Yao every day.

As Shen Yao watched the man carefully apply the medicine to her, her heart fluttered once more.

In the three months after she woke up.

From initially being wary and cautious of the man in front of her, to now accepting his kindness, Shen Yao feels that her heart has been gradually conquered by him.

After applying the medicine, Gu Tianyou gently blew on the wound.

Shen Yao felt a little itchy.

The itch made Shen Yao let out a soft moan.

Gu Tianyou's breath hitched slightly.

He raised his eyes and looked at the woman, finding her gaze incredibly gentle.

This gentleness made Gu Tianyou's heart itch.

The room lights were turned off.

Only a dim, yellow ambient light remained.

Shen Yao looked at the man on top of her and reached out to hug his neck.

Gu Tianyou was not in a hurry as usual.

He stared into the woman's eyes, supporting himself with one hand while gently stroking her face with the other.

"Have you considered?"

Shen Yao gave a soft "hmm".

Gu Tianyou noticed that the woman's eyes seemed to be filled with moisture.

His breathing became increasingly difficult.

This wasn't their first time.

However, this was the first time a woman had taken such the initiative to show him affection.

That night's intimacy was also their most harmonious one.

As the two lay exhausted on the bed, Gu Tianyou gently stroked every inch of the woman's skin with his fingertips.

The woman nestled in his arms without resistance.

They fell asleep embracing each other like that.

When Shen Yao woke up and washed up the next day, she saw the hickey on her neck and blushed.

Gu Tianyou stood behind her and put his arm around her waist.

They did not use any contraception last night.

Gu Tianyou rested his head on Shen Yao's shoulder.

"Good morning."

Looking in the mirror at the tall, handsome man leaning on her shoulder, Shen Yao couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

"Didn't you say you were going to the company? Why are you dawdling like this?"

I want to spend more time with you.

As he spoke, Gu Tianyou kissed the woman's neck.

Shen Yao spat out the mouthwash and wiped her lips with a wet wipe.

Just as she was about to turn her head to look at the man, he came close to her.

Shen Yao's body was picked up by the man and placed on the washbasin.

Shen Yao's heart skipped a beat.

Aren't you going to work?

Gu Tianyou hugged her and whispered something in her ear.

"Focus on making babies."

Shen Yao's ears immediately turned red to the roots.

Actually, she also wanted to have a child.

This desire is very strong.

As for why, she didn't know.

From winter to spring when flowers bloom.

The two of them carried out this goal earnestly and devoutly.

When early summer arrived, the two lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Shen Yao looked at the ceiling light with a dejected gaze and said slowly, "Gu Tianyou, it's been almost half a year. We've tried so hard, but my belly still hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy."

Gu Tianyou hugged her and pulled her into his arms.

"It's okay, we can be very happy without children."

But what will you do if I leave?

Gu Tianyou couldn't imagine how Shen Yao would manage on her own in the future.

He's been secretly going to the hospital lately, working hard to improve his health, and spending a huge sum of money on the most expensive medications to keep himself healthy.

The doctor said, "Mr. Gu, with your condition, you should have no problem living for more than 10 years."

Ten years, that doesn't sound like a short time.

However, Gu Tianyou is 37 years old this year, and he will only be 47 years old ten years from now.

In an era where the average life expectancy is already 70 years, dying at the age of 47 is considered an untimely death.

He wasn't afraid of death.

Rather, he was afraid that if he died, no one would protect Shen Yao.

"I want to give you a baby."

Shen Yao looked up at the man.

When the man saw the sincerity in the woman's eyes, his heart was clenched tightly.

A woman's first pregnancy is often an accident.

Their first child was lost due to an accident.

"This is probably God's retribution for me," Gu Tianyou cursed himself inwardly.

For half a year, they have tried every possible position.

However, Shen Yao's belly still showed no signs of pregnancy.

He held the woman tightly, his voice choked with emotion.

"It will happen, it definitely will."

Will it happen?

Gu Tianyou didn't really have much hope anymore.

The woman in his arms gave a soft "hmm".

The days passed by.

As they waited for their child, the couple gradually lost hope.

However, their relationship only got better and better.

So much so that every time Gu Tianyou saw the woman softly leaning against him, he felt that everything was so unreal.

He would pinch his thigh hard.

The pain confirmed to him that the happiness before him was real.

Shen Yao truly loves herself.

Until Lu Jiajia arrived, everything changed.

Lu Jiajia sat on a single sofa, crossed her legs, and glared at Gu Tianyou.

"Gu Tianyou, I need to see Shen Yao. Why are you stopping me from seeing her? What exactly do you want?"

“Shen Yao and I are very happy now, Miss Lu, you won’t break this happiness, will you?”

Gu Tianyou sat opposite Lu Jiajia, legs crossed, with an arrogant demeanor.

This is consistent with his previous public image.

Lu Jiajia was no longer surprised by the man's arrogant attitude.

But she never imagined that this very man had once knelt down and apologized to Shen Yao.

"Happiness? Mr. Gu, don't deceive yourself. How can Shen Yao be happy by your side?"

Lu Jiajia believes she understands Shen Yao.

Shen Yao hates Gu Tianyou so much, how could she possibly think she would be happy with this man?

It's absolute nonsense!

She glanced coldly at Gu Tianyou and added a sentence.

"I'm here to take Shen Yao away. If Shen Yao is willing to come with me, you are not allowed to stop her! Otherwise, we'll see each other in court!"
