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

Gu Tianyou's eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely agitated.

Lu Jiajia rolled her eyes at him. "Don't worry, I didn't tell Yao Yao about Haoxuan. I just said that you two were divorced and remarried, and that you had deep-seated hatred and resentment towards each other before."

Outsiders shouldn't interfere in matters between husband and wife.

However, Shen Yao's situation is too special.

Lu Jiajia knew everything about Shen Yao's past. As Shen Yao's so-called good friend, Lu Jiajia didn't want to keep Shen Yao in the dark.

Therefore, when Shen Yao asked her if she had ever had a child, Lu Jiajia chose to tell the truth.

"Yes, you did have two children. One was with Gu Tianyou, and the other was with Bo Yuxiu. However, they both passed away due to some accidents. I think it would be better if Gu Tianyou told you what happened."

"So, even my own husband can lie to me..."

This is a brief summary of Lu Jiajia and Shen Yao's conversation in the hotel room.

After Lu Jiajia left, Gu Tianyou stood at the hotel entrance, too afraid to go in.

He booked a luxury suite, which included a living room, a bedroom, and a private balcony.

Gu Tianyou ultimately did not go into the room, but instead stood on the balcony, gazing at the distant azure sea.

I don't know how much time passed, but then I heard light footsteps behind me.

Gu Tianyou was very familiar with those footsteps.

He didn't turn his head, but instead clenched his fists tightly.

He should say something, but he felt that words were so inadequate.

He was prepared to be questioned by the woman.

He felt a warm sensation behind him. Looking down, he saw a woman's hands wrapped around his waist.

Gu Tianyou finally couldn't help but turn around.

He happened to see Shen Yao's head resting on his shoulder.

Their eyes met, and though they had so much to say, they both fell silent.

Looking into the woman's sorrowful eyes and slightly pale lips, Gu Tianyou turned around and held her tightly in his arms.

"It's windy here, let's go inside and talk. Ask me anything you want, and I'll do my best to tell you the truth."

The two went into the room, closed the door, and sat down together on the edge of the bed.

Gu Tianyou instinctively reached for a cigarette to smoke.

However, Shen Yao stopped him.

"Don't smoke all the time, it's bad for your health."

Gu Tianyou ultimately just kept the cigarette in his mouth without smoking it.

"Ask away, I knew this day would come sooner or later."

Having prepared himself for the worst, Gu Tianyou felt relieved.

He took the cigarette out of his mouth, threw it into the trash can, and turned around to face Shen Yao.

Shen Yao looked at the man in front of her with a very complicated expression.

"Do not lie to me."

"Since I've chosen to be honest, of course I won't lie to you."

Gu Tianyou looked directly into Shen Yao's eyes and said very seriously.

"Okay." Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, stared into Gu Tianyou's eyes, and asked the question that had been bothering her.

"I had two children. How did they die?"

As soon as she asked that question, Shen Yao could clearly feel the muscles on the handsome face of the man sitting opposite her twitch slightly.

Men know these things.

After another suffocating silence, the man finally spoke.

He put the cigarette in his mouth again, but didn't light the lighter.

He simply held the cigarette butt gently between his teeth.

Long-buried secrets were revealed by the man.

The man tried to recount those long-forgotten past events in a very calm and polite tone.

The encounter, acquaintance, mutual suspicion, and hurt in our youth, followed by the obsessive love without realizing it, and repeated misunderstandings.

Men can sense the emotional fluctuations women experience when they hear about these things.

After everything was laid bare, the man was prepared to lose the woman.

He decided that no matter how much the woman scolded or criticized him, he would endure it.

He was willing to endure anything as long as it would appease the woman.

However, the expected anger and questioning from the woman did not occur; instead, there was only her silence.

This silence made Gu Tianyou feel even worse.

He would rather a woman scold or hit him.

"Yaoyao, say something."

Looking at the indifferent woman in front of him, Gu Tianyou felt inexplicably flustered.

After waiting for a long time, the woman's indifferent eyes finally showed some reaction.

She looked into the man's eyes and said only one sentence.

"I'm very tired and need to rest."

The "rest" that Shen Yao mentioned meant her journey from Italy all the way back home.

Aside from occasionally getting up to eat something, she spends the rest of her time sleeping.

When Gu Tianyou spoke to her, she only responded occasionally.

"If you have any grievances or complaints about me, you can just say them directly... Don't do this, okay?"

Watching the woman's retreating figure, Gu Tianyou felt a tightness in his chest.

Just when he thought the woman would never pay attention to him, one day the weather cleared up and it stopped snowing, and Shen Yao got up.

She went out into the courtyard to bask in the sun.

When Gu Tianyou saw her, she was smiling at him.

She waved to Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou quickly jogged over, stopping when he was still more than a meter away from the woman.

He wasn't sure if the woman would allow him to get close.

He knew all too well that after everything that had happened, it was impossible for this woman to forgive him.

Therefore, he was prepared that the woman would no longer pay attention to him.

So, when the woman smiled at him, he was momentarily dazed.

The woman smiled at me. Was it true?

"You can walk a little further. I'm not going to eat you."

The woman continued to smile at Gu Tianyou, which made Gu Tianyou feel very uncomfortable.

Because he knew that the woman's past pain was inextricably linked to him.

Therefore, he couldn't tear himself away when a woman smiled at him.

"I'm talking to you, why aren't you responding?"

The woman walked over and took Gu Tianyou's arm.

Gu Tianyou slowly snapped out of his daze.

"Yaoyao, don't you blame me? Don't you hate me?"

"Strange, hateful?"

The woman looked at Gu Tianyou with some confusion.

"Why should I blame you or hate you? That's all in the past, isn't it? And I've forgotten about it. Since I've forgotten, let's not dwell on the past anymore, okay? At least we're happy and content now."

Listening to the woman's words, Gu Tianyou felt as if he were in another world.

Does this woman really not care about her past?

No, she just forgot for the time being.

That's why she was able to say that.

Thinking of this, the light in Gu Tianyou's eyes dimmed.

Just then, the woman rested her head on his shoulder and whispered, "Jiajia, when you told me these things, I was truly shocked and terrified. Because I have absolutely no memory of these two children. So, I'm in so much pain."
