Song Wanwan looked up blankly, saw the teasing in Gu Tingyao's eyes, and said weakly, "Yeah, I was stimulated by the dog food that a certain dog showed off."

Gu Tingyao smiled faintly, "You should have realized this long ago; this is the difference between love and not love."

Song Wanwan immediately became alert, glaring at the person in front of her, "You're such a scoundrel, did you do that on purpose?!"

Gu Tingyao smiled wickedly, his eyes narrowed as he looked at her, without uttering a rebuttal.

Song Wanwan felt a little disappointed, but calmly asked, "So you love Huo Nanxin?"

Gu Tingyao's smile faded, his eyes darkening as if he needed to think about the question, and he remained silent.

Song Wanwan didn't receive a reply from Gu Tingyao, and muttered to herself, "You must love him, otherwise you wouldn't even bother to pretend. Who can force you, Gu Tingyao, to do anything? I really hope you won't become the second Gu Tingzhou."

Gu Tingyao swirled the water in his glass and said casually, "Why do you seem so resentful? Didn't you finally get the person you've always dreamed of? Who can guard an ice block for seven whole years? You, Song Wanwan, are no ordinary person."

Song Wanwan looked at him warily, "Are you mocking me?"

Gu Tingyao said noncommittally, "Haven't you been ridiculed enough?"

Song Wanwan was somewhat exasperated. She sighed, pouted, and said, "Gu Tingyao, I regret it."

“I met you first, but the moment I saw Gu Tingzhou, my eyes would involuntarily follow him. I didn’t use you as a stepping stone to get closer to him.”

Song Wanwan chuckled and said self-deprecatingly, "I admire myself too, I actually managed to stick it out for seven years. I really couldn't keep going in the eighth year."

Rather than saying that Song Wanwan was speaking to Gu Tingyao, it would be more accurate to say that she was speaking to herself.

She doesn't need an audience, she just needs a safe space to confide in.

Song Wanwan suddenly woke up and gave Gu Tingyao a bitter smile, saying, "Why would I tell you these things? Your ridicule is justified."

Gu Tingyao tightened his grip on the cup, his usually cold face darkening.

Just as the two of them were silent and lost in their own thoughts, Huo Nanxin came out with a plate of food, smiling broadly.

"Ah Yao, try my braised shredded pork, it tastes pretty good."

Song Wanwan turned her head and looked over. There was a plate of dark, shredded meat in sauce, about the size of potato strips.

She gave Gu Tingyao a knowing look, then got up and walked toward the pastries she had made.

After a while, Huo Nanxin walked in listlessly, like a wilted eggplant.

Song Wanwan asked curiously, "Did Gu Tingyao scold you?"

Huo Nanxin gave an awkward smile. "Ayao said there's still a lot of room for improvement. I know he was just trying to comfort me."

Song Wanwan's mouth almost fell to the ground. She said I wanted to use the most vicious words, and my mouth was so loose that words just kept spilling out.

Even when speaking to someone you like, your words become so insightful.

Huo Nanxin dumped the vegetables into the trash can, opened her phone, and took out the video she had just recorded to watch it again.

A message suddenly popped up on her phone. She opened it and exclaimed "Huh!"

Song Wanwan quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Huo Nanxin looked at Song Wanwan and handed her the phone.

Song Wanwan spotted it immediately; it was a photo of Gu Tingzhou and Su Lina together.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder, Gu Tingzhou holding a pink women's coat in his hand, his head close to Su Lina's.

He seemed to be looking at something in Su Lina's hand, a faint smile on his lips.

Song Wanwan's expression changed; it turned out that Gu Tingzhou had gone on a business trip with Su Lina.

In their past life, Gu Tingzhou accompanied Su Lina to Haishi to take promotional photos, and Song Wanwan saw the photos that Gu Tingting had forwarded on her WeChat Moments.

She bought a plane ticket on the spot and rushed to Hai City. In front of Gu Tingzhou, she questioned him about why he was on a business trip with Su Lina. Gu Tingzhou dismissed her with a simple "it's for work."

Enraged, she slapped Su Lina. Gu Tingzhou's face darkened immediately, and he ordered Qiao Sen to take her away.

That time, Gu Tingzhou was away on a business trip for more than half a month before returning. Actually, he returned earlier, but he didn't go home.

She blocked Gu Tingting on WeChat, thinking she wouldn't receive these kinds of messages again.

But what's meant to happen will happen in a different way.

Seeing the change in Song Wanwan's expression, Huo Nanxin quickly explained, "I recently added Lina on WeChat because I was learning piano at her studio. I was afraid of missing any updates about my lessons, so I set it to pop up automatically when there were any. It wasn't intentional."

Song Wanwan said calmly, "It's okay, I don't mind."

The timer beeped, and Song Wanwan opened the lid with gloves and used tongs to put the snacks inside into the lunchbox one by one.

"Would you like to try some of the snacks I made?"

Huo Nanxin looked at Song Wanwan, who seemed completely unaffected, and nodded, "Okay!"

Song Wanwan picked up some pastries, placed them on a plate, and handed them to Huo Nanxin with an expectant look on her face.

Huo Nanxin casually picked up a piece, blew on it, took a bite, and immediately gave Song Wanwan a thumbs up.

Song Wanwan happily hugged the lunchbox and said, "I'll take these to Grandpa to try, and you can learn slowly."

Huo Nanxin nodded.

Song Wanwan carried the lunchbox and walked through the courtyard without looking to the side, without stopping for a moment.

Huo Nanxin gave some of the snacks to Gu Tingyao to try, and said cautiously, "Wanwan must be very sad."

"What's wrong? You're perfectly fine, why are you sad?"

Huo Nanxin stuck out her tongue and said, "Sister Lina just posted an update on her WeChat Moments. It's a photo of her with Brother Tingzhou, and Wanwan saw it."

Gu Tingyao glanced at Song Wanwan's departing figure, his dark eyes deepening as he recalled her words.

Song Wanwan gave some of the snacks to Grandpa Gu to try, and put the rest in the refrigerator, planning to bring them to her maternal grandfather tomorrow.

She went back to her room and reviewed the events. In her previous life, she saw a photo of Gu Tingzhou and Su Lina, which seemed to be from today.

So what is destined to happen will not change in time, but you can let yourself know, and the way you do it will change, because you have changed.

In this life, Song Wanwan will not be foolish enough to go and be a third wheel. All of this was done on Su Lina's part, deliberately letting Song Wanwan know so that she could do things that would make Gu Tingzhou hate her even more and push him further and further away.

But if I don't do things that annoy Gu Tingzhou, how can I make him annoy me and thus make him determined to divorce me?

Song Wanwan immediately opened her mind, realizing that he didn't necessarily have to go there in person to annoy him.

She immediately removed Su Lina and Gu Tingting's WeChat accounts from her blacklist.

Sure enough, the photo appeared in both of their WeChat Moments.

Su Lina also captioned the post, "Thank you boss for visiting the set! Love you!"

Song Wanwan took a screenshot of the picture and immediately sent it to Gu Tingzhou.

[Mr. Gu, shouldn't we explain something?]

[You really went to great lengths to visit the set; nothing could stop President Gu's deep affection.]

[Gu Tingzhou, if you really can't forget your white moonlight, then divorce me and marry her. That way, you can be together.]

As soon as Song Wanwan sent the message, she quickly withdrew it one by one.

Doing this will only make Gu Tingzhou feel that he still cares about him and doesn't want him to have any contact with Su Lina.

The best response is to ignore it and not care.

Yes, let him try it too, regardless of how he feels.

Anyway, I really don't care.
