She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

That evening, Su Maiqi returned to the Cloud Villa with Gu Tingyu.

Gu Tingyu was driving, and Su Maiqi was sitting in the passenger seat. Neither of them spoke.

Soft music was playing in the car.

Once outside the city, there's a newly built road, not very wide, but the trees on both sides are tall and lush, and they've been there for quite some time.

There was originally a road here, but it was just an ordinary country road, full of potholes and had fallen into disrepair over the years.

The government originally planned to cut down the trees and build a wider road, but it is said that the Gu family intervened and preserved the old trees, thus building this not-so-wide road.

The clean and smooth asphalt road surface, with its bright red, yellow, and blue dividing line in the middle, is very eye-catching and is known locally as the "Rainbow Road".

The plane trees on both sides of Rainbow Road are mostly over fifty years old, requiring two people to encircle them, and their canopies are also very large.

In summer, the canopies of the trees on both sides connect, and the lush leaves can almost block out the entire road, making it very cool.

Driving on this road, I inexplicably felt like I was going on a trip, filled with joyful excitement.

Neither of them were in a good mood today.

There is a moment of exhilaration when you get your revenge.

But after the pleasure was over, I felt empty and adrift inside.

Chen Shufen has not yet woken up. The doctor said that she is not in immediate danger, but there is a high chance that she will become a vegetable.

Seeing her former brother-in-law, who had rushed over and was standing there dumbfounded, Su Maiqi didn't feel any satisfaction.

Instead, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

She was a witness to Li Deshun and Su Mairou's relationship from the very beginning.

When you're in love, the sweetness is real, and the light in each other's eyes can't be faked.

Although Su Maiqi herself isn't love-obsessed, she was genuinely happy to see her sister happy. She also sincerely hoped that her sister would continue to be happy like this.

To be honest, Li Deshun wasn't a bad person. When his sister was pregnant with Duoduo, he would drive for an hour in the middle of the night to buy her favorite snacks.

He also dotes on Duoduo.

However, no matter what, he couldn't get rid of his domineering mother, and gradually he developed a rift with his sister.

Chen Shufen is certainly quite annoying.

But in the end, it was all bark and no bite. She lost her husband early and lived her whole life in fear. Instinctively, she wanted to grasp at everything she could, including Li Deshun.

While her mother's departure was undoubtedly triggered by Chen Shufen, she was already in poor health. Chen Shufen probably never imagined it would lead to someone's death.

My sister is such a simple and gentle person, yet she came up with such a way to mess with Chen Shufen, and she's been planning this for so long. Isn't she just holding onto a grudge?

But after venting my anger, my mother is no longer coming back.

That feeling of emptiness is more unbearable than hating someone.

When you hate, it's with a target.

But this feeling of emptiness, of not being able to grasp anything, of having no direction.

It leaves one feeling utterly powerless.

The person next to you suddenly spoke up: "If you can't handle it these next two days, take a couple of days off and rest. When you're constantly on edge, suddenly relaxing can make you feel completely overwhelmed and powerless. Lie down for a bit, have a good cry, and it'll all be over."

Su Maiqi was a little dazed. Was this something a domineering CEO would say?

This is so unlike his usual style; it sounds more like something a therapist would say.

When Su Maiqi was in college, she encountered a period of depression and sought counseling at the school's psychological counseling center.

That's just how that teacher talks. Every time Su Maiqi is in his presence, she feels incredibly safe, as if she can do whatever she wants.

Relax, talk, and sometimes the teacher will even allow her to lie on the sofa in the counseling room, while the teacher sits beside her without saying anything.

But when you walk out of the consultation room, you always feel a different feeling.

It's like being refueled and recharged, slowly coming back to life a little.

The teacher said it's because in a completely accepting environment, one can relax and be oneself, and be seen again as one truly is.

And now, Su Maiqi, who is next to Gu Tingyu, feels just like that. She feels as if Gu Tingyu has entered her heart and seen her feelings.

He told himself that it was okay to cry and lie down for a while.

Su Maiqi took two deep breaths to hold back the tears that were about to well up in her eyes.

He coughed twice to compose himself before sincerely saying, "Thank you for everything during this time."

Gu Tingyu certainly sensed the strangeness in the person beside him; there was a slight sob in her voice.

He wanted to blurt out, "It's okay, just cry if you want to."

But she managed to hold back and said in a calm tone, "These are just small favors, don't worry about them. Take a rest these two days, get yourself together, and come with me to a cocktail party next week."

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

Su Maiqi answered instinctively. She needed to rest and recharge after accompanying her boss and husband to a high-class party.

Her marriage to Gu Tingyu will not be made public, but since she is going to play this card, it is naturally essential for her to appear in small circles.

Gu Tingyu has been so generous in helping her lately, so when she needs her help, she will certainly not hesitate to play the role of "Mrs. Gu" properly.

Gu Tingyu subconsciously frowned; the title "President Gu" sounded a bit grating to him, and he didn't like it.

Adjusting her tone and mood, she continued in a calm voice, "I will arrange the dress and accessories for you."

"This gathering is mostly young people, so you can just call me A-Yu."

"Okay, I understand." Su Maiqi felt her face inexplicably burning.

Fortunately, Gu Tingyu was focused on driving and didn't pay much attention to him. His voice remained as calm and indifferent as ever.

Su Maiqi gradually returned to a calm and peaceful state.

She looked up and gazed ahead, only to suddenly see a rainbow in the distance.

Although it didn't rain today, the humidity in the air was noticeably high, and the setting sun created a rainbow.

She knew that Gu Tingyu had also seen the rainbow.

Neither of them spoke as the car drove towards the rainbow, watching it slowly disappear into the air.

When we arrived at the Cloud Villa, it was already completely dark.

Aunt Zhang greeted the two at the door: "Sir, Madam, you're back. Dinner is ready."

Gu Tingyu arranged for Zhang Ma to prepare the meal in advance. This was the first time the two of them had come back together and had dinner at home together.

It was another quiet dinner accompanied by music.

They had dinner on the first floor, then went upstairs together, parting ways at the top of the stairs. Su Maiqi went to the master bedroom, while Gu Tingyu went to the third floor.

As they parted, Su Maiqi suddenly said, as if possessed, "Goodnight, Gu Tingyu."
