Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to pry into your past. I just found out by accident. When I first found out about this news, I was very shocked and sad. I even thought about letting you go, afraid that I would be hurt again. 1 was also afraid that 1 would not be able to stand up this time, but I was even more afraid that I would not be able to solve the problem. 1 didn’t want to run either,” Meng Nianyao said seriously. “Gu Wencheng, I want to know if I’m a substitute. Please answer my question seriously. I don’t like to be deceived.”

“No.” Gu Wencheng’s answer was loud and clear. He looked at Meng Nianyao and enunciated each word clearly. “There is no substitute. The original reason for marrying you was indeed not very decent.” After a pause, he continued, “I suspected that you were a spy sent by my competitor, so 1 wanted to keep you by my side to observe you. Later, I confirmed that you were not a spy, but rather that I was mistaken…As for Ning XL.She died in a car accident six years ago. She died without a complete corpse and left nothing behind…”

When Ning Xi was mentioned, Gu Wencheng’s voice was very calm, and his expression was also very calm, but his tone was very suppressed, so suppressed that Meng Nianyao could easily see his deep love for Ning Xi.

“Meng Nianyao, maybe we started off with a misunderstanding, but 1 still have my words. I won’t divorce you so easily. I hope we can continue to walk together.” Gu Wencheng tried to hold Meng Nianyao’s hand, but she didn’t move away. Perhaps Gu Wencheng’s words had contained too much information, and she was digesting it bit by bit.

After a long time, Meng Nianyao moved her fingers. “Then let’s work hard together. I don’t want to give up on you.” She looked up into Gu Wencheng’s eyes. “I’ve been thinking about what to do since I got home from the hospital. Do 1 want a divorce? Where would I go after the divorce? Do I want to change jobs? All sorts of random thoughts ran through my mind, but at the end of the day, I didn’t want to divorce him. 1 didn’t want to think about my future alone.”

“Gu Wencheng, you and have been hurt by our passt. My character may be flawed and 1 always want to run. Sometimes, I’m very extreme; I used to blame myself for not having the ability to love someone, but you cured me. I’m very sure that I like you and 1 hope that one day, I can receive the same love from you.”

Meng Nianyao’s words were so sincere that Gu Wencheng suddenly felt something prick at his eyes.

Meng Nianyao had always been an innocent person. She would treat anyone who treated her well. It was because she was too innocent that she was betrayed and bullied, causing her to feel increasingly insecure.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Gu. I’ve made you sad again.” Gu Wencheng got up, walked behind Meng Nianyao, and hugged her tightly.

“It’s alright. I’m very happy now.” Meng Nianyao’s eyes curved into crescents. She had grandparents, a home, and a husband who was working hard to love her.

The next day, Gu Wencheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Gu Corporation, his face cold and devoid of any warmth.

“Boss, I’ve checked the surveillance cameras in the old madam’s ward,” Ping Yang said nervously. “In the ward, other than you and Mrs. Gu, Madam Yin and Miss Yin were also there. At about 10:30, Mrs. Gu came out of the ward, followed by Miss Yin. The surveillance camera at the hospital entrance showed that they walked there together.”

“Call Yin Qiqi, “Gu Wencheng turned around.

Ping Yang nodded.

Yin Qiqi had just woken up and finished her breakfast. She was overjoyed to see Gu Wencheng calling her.” Hello, Brother Wencheng.”

“Hello, Miss Yin. I’m President Gu’s assistant, Ping Yang.” Ping Yang was stunned by the sweet voice.

“Ping Yang?” “Why did you call me with Brother Wencheng’s phone?” Yin Qiqi was displeased. Or could it be…Did Brother Wencheng ask you to call me?” At this point, her tone clearly rose, as if she was very happy.

Ping Yang was indeed using Gu Wencheng’s phone number, but it was his work phone number, not his private phone number. At this time, the phone was on speaker mode. Ping Yang glanced at Gu Wencheng and said, “Miss Yin, President Gu asked if you have time this afternoon. He wants to meet you.”

Yin Qiqi’s voice immediately became excited. “Yes! Brother Wencheng asked me out, so of course, I have time. Send me the address. I’ll be there on time!”

“Alright.” After Ping Yang hung up, she sent Yin Qiqi an address..
