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

Why dwell on the past?

Gu Tianyou was getting impatient with Shen Yao bringing up old grievances.

He instinctively reached out to grab Shen Yao's shoulder.

Shen Yao reacted even faster than him, dodging to the side with an almost overflowing wariness in her eyes.

"After all, you, Mr. Gu, weren't the one who was hurt. Of course, you can forget about it, Mr. Gu. But I can't."

Gu Tianyou's nerves have been on edge for the past few days.

He becomes extremely excited whenever he mentions Shen Yao.

When I learned that Shen Yao was willing to stay and have dinner with me, I finally felt a little relieved.

However, Shen Yao's words "I can't" have made him feel prickly all over again.

"Then what else do you want me to do?" Gu Tianyou took a step closer to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao kept backing away until she reached the door. "Do you want to hit me?"

Seeing the prominent veins on Gu Tianyou's fists hanging at his sides, she questioned him.

Gu Tianyou did indeed frequently use emotional abuse on Shen Yao after marriage, but he never actually hit her.

Why would I hit you? I just want you to forget the past!

"Sorry, I can't do it." Shen Yao irritably ran her fingers through her hair, pushed Gu Tianyou away with both hands, and strode into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

Gu Tianyou strode after him, trying hard to turn the doorknob, but he couldn't open it no matter what he did.

"Open the door!"

"I need to take a shower! It's already late, what time can I have dinner?"

“I…” Gu Tianyou raised his hand and glanced at his watch, realizing it was already past 6 p.m.

He thought that the woman had just returned and might still be a little temperamental, so he stared at the back of the bathroom and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and take a shower, I'll wait for you in the dining room for dinner."

"Okay, I understand," came a soft reply from behind the bathroom door.

Gu Tianyou originally wanted to turn around and leave.

But the moment he turned around, behind the semi-transparent glass shower door, the shadow of a woman undressing could be faintly seen.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he paused in his steps as he was about to leave.

He remembered that stormy night.

The woman's skin was as white and smooth as a cow's; her soft, panting breaths, the tears in her eyes...

Footsteps could be heard downstairs.

The maid came over.

"Young master, dinner is ready."

"I'll go down right away."

Gu Tianyou opened the door, walked out, and closed it behind him.

The maid knew his habit of reading business magazines, so a newly published magazine was already placed on the dining table.

Gu Tianyou picked up the magazine and flipped through it casually, his eyes fixed on the data in the magazine, but his mind was filled with the graceful figure of Shen Yao taking a bath.

Time passed little by little.

He shifted his legs nervously.

Sometimes he would put his left leg on his right side, and sometimes he would put his right leg on his left side.

The maid stood to the side; although she only had a high school education, she also noticed that the young master was holding the magazine upside down.

Are these rich people really that capable? They can even understand books upside down? Or are they training some kind of special way of thinking?

"Go and see, why is the young mistress still not done washing? It's been half an hour!"

Looking at the time on his wristwatch, which already showed 7:30, Gu Tianyou had lost his patience.

The servant nodded and bowed hurriedly, "Yes, young master!"

5 minute later.

The maid rushed downstairs, breathless, "Young Master, the Young Madam isn't in the bathhouse!"

Gu Tianyou threw the magazine onto the dining table. "She was clearly taking a shower in the bathroom just now!"
