After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

Gu Mengmeng's face darkened further, and my heart pounded, fearing that she would clash with Jiang Yuwei again like in my past life. I quickly explained, "This has nothing to do with her. It's just that a business partner took a fancy to someone else, and I was unlucky enough to get dragged into it. But that guy didn't get away with it either; he got beaten up pretty badly."

"Was it the partner who did it?" Gu Mengmeng's voice suddenly became sharp as she said to Jiang Yuwei, "Jiang Yuwei, you couldn't even protect Ye Qiu in this situation, letting him get so badly injured. How can you be his wife if you're so useless?"

These words struck a nerve with Jiang Yuwei.

I know Jiang Yuwei too well. She's very proud. Even if Gu Mengmeng has a limp, she'll still go all out to protect me and won't let me suffer the slightest grievance.

But right under Jiang Yuwei's nose, this happened, and Gu Mengmeng even criticized me to my face. Jiang Yuwei must be feeling incredibly aggrieved.

Sure enough, Jiang Yuwei gripped my hand even tighter, her face dark and gloomy, but she still managed to hold back her outburst.

"It's not your place to lecture me. Anyone who covets my things will be dealt with, and no matter who it is, they won't get away with it."

Gu Mengmeng's eyes instantly turned sharp, and the atmosphere became so tense it felt like it was about to explode.

I have no interest in these things; Jiang Yuwei got scolded for her own actions.

I struggled a few more times and said impatiently, "Jiang Yuwei, this is the last time I'm saying let go. My head is throbbing, and I want to finish the checkup and go back to sleep. If you want to see Chen Yiran, go ahead. I won't stop you now, but can you please stop nagging me?"

Jiang Yuwei's face was terribly gloomy.

Perhaps seeing my firm stance, she finally let go of my hand and slipped the hotel room key and her bank card into my hand.

"The password is the one you usually use. Tell me when the hospital report comes out, and call me when you get to the hotel. Wait for me there; I have something to tell you."

I didn't stand on ceremony and took her bank card and room key. Since things had come to this point, consider the bank card my reward for my hard work; only a fool wouldn't take money when it's available. Even if it's just a job, this should be considered a work injury, right?

Jiang Yuwei grabbed my arm again, stood on tiptoe and whispered in my ear, "Stay away from her when you get back, don't let her get involved because of you."

What a hypocrite! She only allows her to be entangled with Chen Yiran, but won't allow me to get close to Gu Mengmeng.

"Don't threaten me, I'm not easily intimidated." I sneered, shook off her hand, and walked straight to Gu Mengmeng. "Gu Mengmeng, come with me to get some tests done."

Out of my sight, a cold glint flashed across Gu Mengmeng's face as she glared fiercely at Jiang Yuwei, her eyes filled with unspeakable anger.

Actually, I didn't have many tests done; it was mainly to check if my back was injured. Gu Mengmeng was busy running around me the whole time. When I told her to sit down and wait for me to get the report, she couldn't help but tap my head and start muttering to herself.

"Stop showing off, you're the dumbest one. I'm not around, and you keep making yourself look so pathetic. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

I replied with a grin, "No way, no way! I promise next time... no, no, there won't be a next time. I'll definitely be healthy and smart, and I'll never let myself get hurt so easily. I won't let Ms. Gu Mengmeng worry about me anymore, okay?"

Gu Mengmeng's expression softened slightly.

"That's more like it. You really scared me to death this time."

A warm feeling welled up inside me, as if a warm current was flowing through my heart.

How could I not see it? She had gone to great lengths for me, rushing over every minute, even with her injured leg, yet she was so worried about me. How could I not be moved?

I am so lucky to have two friends in my life who would go to such lengths for me.

"Gu Mengmeng, thank you so much, I..."

Before I could finish speaking, she covered my mouth with her warm hand.

We sat on the same side, so close we could feel each other's breath. I stared at her with my clear, bright eyes, and she stared back at me intently. Then she slowly released my hand, tapped my head, and looked at me with a mixture of helplessness and affection.

"If you say thank you again, I'll break your head. It's only natural that your wife is good to you, but why do you have to be so polite when I'm good to you?"

How could that be? I just feel guilty. I owe Gu Mengmeng a debt I can never repay in this lifetime.

I quickly shook my head frantically and slapped myself in the face, saying, "I won't do it again, don't be angry."

She then smiled with satisfaction.

The examination results showed that it was just a minor bump and nothing serious; some medication and some rest would be enough for him to recover.

I breathed a sigh of relief. When I got back to the hotel, I looked at my phone screen, which was completely shattered, and sighed.

"This is a complete disaster. It probably won't be long."

I find this phone quite convenient to use and I really like it.

Gu Mengmeng looked at me with a faint gaze, "Ye Qiu, life is like this, there's no need to keep dwelling on the old things. If it breaks, just replace it. Maybe you'll be more satisfied with the new phone."

I didn't look up at her, so I missed the deeper meaning in her eyes. I nodded and said, "Change it, we'll change it when we get back. Out with the old, in with the new."

After a whole day of running around, I was actually quite tired, but the thought that Jiang Yuwei might bring Chen Yiran back later gave me another headache.

I was really annoyed. Since the cooperation was already over, I simply took my passport, bought a plane ticket, and went back to China.

Then, all that's left is to wait for Jiang Yuwei to return to China and get a divorce.

Gu Mengmeng has also settled things abroad. She's coming back with me. She's been abroad for over a year, and now communication is basically no problem. Having her around is definitely a lot more convenient.

Before the plane took off, I forced myself to keep my eyes open and sent a message to Jiang Yuwei, then turned off my phone and closed my eyes to rest.

Gu Mengmeng sat next to me, her voice low and gentle.

"Ye Qiu, I keep having the same dream lately."

Dreaming? Hey, Jiang Yuwei dreams all the time too.

I was so sleepy my eyelids were drooping, but I couldn't help raising an eyebrow. "What, you've fallen in love with dreaming too?"

Gu Mengmeng's voice was slow and leisurely, "This dream was a bit special. So many things happened in the dream, so many people, including you and me. I even dreamed that you abandoned Xu Yikang for Jiang Yuwei, and even abandoned me..."

My consciousness became increasingly blurred, and I was so sleepy that I couldn't hear what she was saying at all. Just before I completely fell asleep, I vaguely felt someone gently stroking my neck, the spot where Jiang Yuwei had bitten me before. Then I heard a low voice.

"This time, I won't let go..."
