Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped
Chapter 38 Seemingly the Past
The blinding flashes of the cameras made it hard for me to open my eyes, and the reporters' sharp questions filled my ears like countless flies buzzing around me.
Everything happened so fast that I didn't even have time to react before Gu Yichen shielded me behind him.
His tall figure blocked all the cameras, and his deep voice carried an undeniable authority: "Please make way and give my wife some space."
His words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the banquet hall.
I stared blankly at his retreating figure, my heart filled with mixed emotions.
The word "wife" came out of his mouth so naturally, yet so heavily.
In the days that followed, it felt as if we were isolated in another world. Gu Yichen turned down all his work to focus on being with me and the child.
Chenchen's condition is improving day by day. He has started to learn to call us "Dad" and "Mom". His smile has become the warmest sunshine in our lives.
Every morning, Gu Yichen would accompany me for a walk in the garden, breathing in the fresh air and feeling each other's warmth.
We stopped talking about the troubles and just quietly enjoyed this rare tranquility.
"Yan Yan, look, Chen Chen can walk!" Gu Yichen pointed to the distance and exclaimed excitedly.
I followed his gaze and saw Chenchen wobbling towards us, her little face beaming with a bright smile.
At that moment, my heart felt as if it had been gently struck by something, and a feeling called happiness spread through my heart.
I crouched down and opened my arms. Chenchen immediately jumped into my arms, her soft little body smelling of milk.
I hugged him tightly, my eyes a little wet.
Over the past month, our family of three has weathered many storms, but now, the clouds have finally parted and we can finally see our rainbow.
"Sister-in-law, congratulations! Your hard times are finally over." Lu Mingxuan walked over with a smile and handed me the thermos. "This soup my mom made is to help you recover."
I took the soup and smiled gratefully at him, "Thank you, Mingxuan." During this time, thanks to the help of Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen, we were able to get through this difficult period. Lu Mingxuan helped Gu Yichen handle company affairs, while Gu Yichen stayed by my side, offering guidance and encouragement.
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Lu Mingxuan laughed heartily, then turned to Gu Yichen. "Brother, I've almost finished handling things at the company. If you're not worried, I'll head back now."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mingxuan." Gu Yichen patted his shoulder, his eyes filled with gratitude.
After Lu Mingxuan left, Gu Yichen also came over. He looked at me, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopped himself.
I understood what he was thinking, so I took the initiative to say, "Yichen, just say what you want to say."
"Sister-in-law, are you really determined to face this with my brother?" Gu Yichen's tone was tinged with worry.
I nodded and said firmly, "Yes, I've made up my mind."
No matter what the future holds, I will face it together with Yichen.
"That's good," Gu Yichen said with a relieved smile. "I believe you can overcome all difficulties."
That evening, after putting Chenchen to sleep, I went to the study and saw Gu Yichen engrossed in his work.
His face showed signs of fatigue, but his eyes remained resolute. I walked behind him and gently massaged his shoulders.
"You must be exhausted?" I asked softly.
Gu Yichen turned his head and took my hand in his. His hand was warm and strong, as if it could dispel all my unease.
“I’m not tired,” he shook his head, looking at me tenderly, “Seeing you and Chenchen fills me with strength.”
"Yichen," I hesitated for a moment before finally stating my thoughts, "I want to learn some business knowledge so I can help you with some of the burden."
Gu Yichen was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll teach you."
In the days that followed, I began to systematically study business management and financial investment.
Gu Yichen was very patient. He broke down complex business cases into simple and easy-to-understand stories and explained them to me in a clear and concise way.
Like a sponge, I greedily absorbed new knowledge, and my learning ability and comprehension surprised and pleased Gu Yichen.
At the same time, Gu Yichen also began to work on revitalizing the company.
He decisively took a series of public relations measures, publicly clarified the facts, and actively assumed social responsibility. He personally visited patients affected by the incident in the hospital and established a special fund for their follow-up treatment and rehabilitation.
His sincerity and sense of responsibility gradually won back the public's trust, and the company's reputation began to slowly recover.
The stock market is also a sensitive indicator; as the company's public relations crisis is resolved and its operating conditions improve, its stock price begins to rebound.
Looking at the numbers flashing on the screen, I was filled with joy. This was not just a monetary reward, but also an affirmation of our hard work.
"We did it!" I excitedly hugged Gu Yichen and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"Yeah, we succeeded."
Gu Yichen hugged me tightly, his face beaming with a happy smile.
That day, we received an invitation to the annual charity gala in City A.
This dinner brought together celebrities, political figures, and business elites from City A, making it an important social occasion.
“Let’s go together,” Gu Yichen suggested. “We can take this opportunity to officially announce our relationship.”
I nodded, my heart filled with anticipation. I couldn't wait to appear before everyone as Gu Yichen's boyfriend and girlfriend.
On the day of the banquet, I wore an elegant black dress, my hair was styled up, and I put on exquisite makeup.
Gu Yichen, dressed in a black suit, looked even more dashing and handsome. We intertwined our fingers, exchanged a smile, and understood everything without words.
The banquet hall was brightly lit, filled with elegantly dressed women and clinking glasses. Our arrival immediately drew everyone's attention.
I could feel the curious, inquisitive, and even jealous gazes, but I didn't care. My eyes were only on Gu Yichen; his steadfastness gave me boundless strength.
We greeted our guests with elegance and engaged in lively conversation.
Gu Yichen exuded confidence and charm in every gesture, while I tried my best to play the role of his best companion. At that moment, I felt incredibly happy and fulfilled.
However, I was unaware that beneath this seemingly calm surface, a new storm was quietly brewing...
Lin Jiaojiao and Du Yue have been quieter lately. We occasionally bump into each other at social events. Their gazes toward me and Yichen are still complex and hard to understand, but nothing has really stirred up any more trouble.
I thought that the storms had passed and a bright future awaited us.
Life seems to be back on track. I continue to learn about company affairs, hoping to become a true helpmate to Yichen.
Chenchen's illness gradually improved, and the little guy's laughter echoed in the house again, bringing endless joy to our lives.
Lu Mingxuan often visits our home to play with Chenchen. We are like a family, warm and happy.
However, just when I thought everything was over, an anonymous letter shattered that peace.
It was an ordinary afternoon, and I was playing with Chenchen in the garden.
The warm sunshine shone on us, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and everything seemed so beautiful.
At this moment, the butler hurried over, looking somewhat nervous, and said, "Miss Fu, there is a letter for you here that you need to sign for in person."
I found it strange. I took the envelope and found that there was no sender information on it, only the simple words "For Fu Yan".
A sense of unease rose within me, and I quickly tore open the envelope. Inside was only a thin sheet of paper, the handwriting delicate yet exuding a chilling aura:
"Fu Yan, do you really think you've won? You've taken everything that was rightfully mine, and I'll make you pay! Just wait and see, the show has only just begun..."
The letter slipped from my hand, and my heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, a chill running from the soles of my feet straight to my heart.
who is it?
Who sent this letter?
What does "everything I have" in the letter refer to?
Is it possible that the shadows of the past have not yet faded, and a new storm is about to descend?
