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

Shen Yao thought she must have misheard.

Or it's like a dream.

So when she heard Gu Tianyou say, "Shen Yao, shut up, stay here, and let's live a good life together," she couldn't help but sneer.

"Gu Tianyou, do you know what you're saying?"

"As long as you behave, I won't make things difficult for you anymore." Gu Tian clenched his fist.

"We're divorced. There's no point in talking about this now." Shen Yao turned her head away, not wanting to look at the man anymore.

"Haven't we been living like this all these years?"

Shen Yao looked up and laughed, her eyes reddening.

Has this man forgotten how he hurt himself in the past?

"Okay, let me go first, and we can discuss this further." Shen Yao smiled at Gu Tianyou, a rare occurrence for her.

Gu Tianyou felt a little uncomfortable looking at Shen Yao's sudden smile.

However, the gloom in his eyes had lessened considerably.

"If you promise me you won't run away from home again," Gu Tianyou said, sitting on the ground and gradually moving closer to Shen Yao.

His black shirt was half-open, revealing his taut muscles.

Shen Yao still didn't look at her, but only responded softly.

"I promise you."

"It's a deal?"

Just like when he was a child, Gu Tianyou extended his little finger, wanting to make a pinky promise.

childish.

Shen Yao smiled bitterly to herself, "Okay."

She extended her little finger and hooked it with Gu Tianyou's little finger.

A smile slowly curved onto Gu Tianyou's handsome face.

He hooked his little finger tightly around Shen Yao's, and the impatience he had shown as a child was gone from his face.

His dark eyes shone with a light unlike anything he had seen before.

As the last rope was untied, Shen Yao sat up and rubbed her wrists, which ached from being bound.

Gu Tianyou glanced at it and said awkwardly, "It's not tied very tightly." His voice was much softer than before.

Shen Yao rolled her eyes at her. "How about I tie you up for an hour or two and see?"

Realizing that his words were biased, Gu Tianyou coughed lightly, "Auntie has prepared dinner, have some."

Over the years, Gu Tianyou had become accustomed to bossing Shen Yao around, so even though he wanted to be gentler, his tone was still as hard as a toilet stone.

"I'm not hungry yet, I'll take a shower first." Shen Yao just wanted to get rid of Gu Tianyou.

Seeing Shen Yao's disheveled appearance and messy hair, Gu Tianyou also thought she should take a shower.

"Then go take a shower first, I'll wait for you at the restaurant for dinner."

"You were waiting for me to eat at the restaurant?" Shen Yao was shocked.

In the three years of their marriage, they could count the number of dinners they had together on one hand.

Shen Yao would leave dinner for Gu Tianyou every night.

However, Gu Tianyou would never eat a single bite, and would even have the servants throw it away.

The maid couldn't bear to see Shen Yao's carefully prepared dinners being thrown into the trash every time, so she subtly told Shen Yao about it in private.

"Young Madam, since the young master doesn't eat the dinner you made, please don't make it anymore. It's too wasteful."

Upon hearing this, sadness welled up in Shen Yao's eyes.

Her hand, which was rinsing the rice, paused slightly.

After a moment, she smiled to herself, "It's okay. Whether he eats or not is his right, but whether I cook or not is my wife's business. He's been working all day, how can I not prepare a hot meal for him?"

"Why are you making that face? Is it weird that I'm waiting for you to eat?" Gu Tianyou asked, noticing Shen Yao's dazed expression.

Shen Yao said calmly, "Mr. Gu, you really have a bad memory. In all these years of marriage, have you ever had a single meal with me?"
