Chapter 12: Deep Roots of Emotion

  "Sisters, I saw that the whole office building was dark except for your place with lights on, so I knew you were here. Come on, let's go have a drink together." The caller was her good friend, Lin Wan.

  In the bar, eating a midnight snack, Lin Wan looked at Gu Yu and said speechlessly, "Others will accompany their boyfriends on Valentine's Day, but you, who have an old husband, don't even try to get close to your old husband, what are you doing alone in the office?"

  Gu Yu said, "We've been married for six years, and we're still celebrating Valentine's Day like young people."

  Lin Wan knew that Gu Yu had this kind of temperament, who didn't know that the two people quarreled and made up all the time, Valentine's Day was always spent like a fool's day. "How did you get married to such a man in the first place?" Lin Wan was so angry that she reached out to poke Gu Yu's head.

  "He has money, isn't that enough."

  Yes, the Xiao family's hundreds of millions in betrothal gifts, directly thrown in front of you, who wouldn't be moved?

  Xiao Shi's B city is very powerful, how many people are jealous of Gu Yu, can anyone marry into Xiao Garden? It's because Gu Yu's father had a relationship with Xiao Yi back then, so Xiao Yi took a liking to her.

  How many people have cracked their heads and can't get it, what's good about complaining?

  "There's no such thing as perfection in life, you can't have both fish and bear's paw at the same time. If I marry a rich husband, I shouldn't expect him to be romantic, besides, I'm not greedy." Gu Yu said, directly downing the glass of wine in one gulp.

  Outside the bar, the wind blows dry on people's faces.

  Gu Yu followed him there and saw Lin Wan go to meet the driver, but at this time, he suddenly saw Xiao Qian's car not far away.

  Is Xiao Qian around here?

  Her eyes darted around, and sure enough, that man she was all too familiar with, even if he were to turn into ashes, she wouldn't mistake him.

  A well-tailored black casual suit, paired with a gray T-shirt, and below that, striped pants in a smoky color. Xiao Qian walked down the stairs with an expressionless face, his hand inserted into his pocket, his hair blown back by the wind, revealing his full forehead, a pair of slightly narrowed eyes, making him appear even more profound and three-dimensional, staring straight ahead at a not-too-distant place. When that girl walked down the stairs, he considerately stretched out his hand to support her for a moment.

  In the evening of City B, the wind was a bit chilly. He took off his jacket and put it on the girl, then gently stroked her back and led her into his car...

  At that moment, Gu Yan only felt her whole body tightening up. It was a hot August day, but she suddenly felt as if she had been transported to an icy cave, her entire body chilled to the bone, unable to extricate herself...

  "You know, I don't love you, so I don't hope you have any special expectations of me. I can guarantee not to divorce and do my best as a husband should, if you have any other ideas, I hope you put them away as soon as possible."

  On their wedding night, he had said such words in front of her with a cold expression. Six years have passed and the words still remain deeply etched in her heart without any change.

  But who would have known that from the moment he appeared in her life, she had already fallen deeply in love...

  He spoke too late, she wanted to pick up, but just looked at her own heart, slowly shattered all over the ground...
