The New Year is approaching, and Gu Xiyan got up early in the morning to start packing her things.

  After breakfast, Shang Yi drove his Lamborghini with Gu Xiyuan and Xiao Yatou heading in the direction of the military compound.

  In the past two years, every Chinese New Year, the three of them would move together to visit Shang Qis parents, Gu Xiyans grandparents, and Xiao Yans grandfather and grandmother.

  The car sped all the way and passed by in about half an hour, and the PLA Garrisons compound in Beijing appeared.

  The car drove into the courtyard of a three-story villa in the large yard. After getting out of the car, Shang Yi went to the back trunk to fetch things, while Gu Xiyan held Xiaotou in her arms.

  Three people knocked on the door of the residence and entered. After a round of warm greetings, they naturally couldnt help but make some noise.

  Xiao Yatous grandmother was overjoyed to see the three of them arrive, and she happily took Xiao Yatou from them. She also didnt forget to invite her son and daughter-in-law to sit down.

  Shang Yi didnt stand on ceremony either, nodded slightly and then sat down on the sofa with Gu Xiyan in his arms.

  When Shang Yues father came down from upstairs, Shang Yue just faintly called out: "Dad".

  Shang Yiqis father, Shang Baikuo - the political commissar of the Beijing Military Region, a general, nodded when he heard his son and daughter-in-law calling him.

  They looked at each other without saying a word.

  Gu Xiyan knew that Shang Yi and her father-in-law had never gotten along, so it was awkward for her to be held in his arms at this moment.

  Two years after marrying Gu Xiuyan, Shang Qi discovered that her husband was not only a lawyer but also the son of the political commissar of the Beijing Military Region. Moreover, Shang Qi himself held the rank of lieutenant colonel.

  Gu Xiyan could feel the conflict between Shang Yueqi and her father, but Shang Yueqi didnt say anything, so she didnt ask. Similarly, she also knew that her own father wasnt very fond of her either.

  Its said that almost everyone thought Shang Yiqi should marry his childhood sweetheart Mu Wanwan, and in the first two years of their marriage, Gu Xiuyan had never even met Shang Yiqis parents. At the time of their wedding, Gu Xiuyan was only 21 years old, naive and fearless.

  When she vowed to part with Wei Zhe thoroughly, Gu Xiyan was 19 years old. She ran to the airport alone, and at that time, there was only one thought in her mind - from now on, she would never appear in front of Wei Zhe again.

  Unexpectedly, she had even packed her clothes neatly, only to realize at the airport that she hadnt brought any money. The drama of life is nothing more than this!

  A person sat in the waiting hall, surrounded by a constant flow of people, yet not one of them was someone they knew. Their mind couldnt help but think of Wei Zhe defending that woman, and their heart ached, tears streaming down their face.

  That afternoon, Wei Zhe stormed into her room in the Wei residence with a fierce momentum and gave her a loud slap without saying a word. Originally, she was overjoyed to show him her appearance in a wedding dress. The slap made her stunned instantly. Then, Ye Jiayu followed, her eyes blurry, leaning softly on his body, and he accepted it.

  "Come to think of it, what did he say back then? He said: Gu Xiyan, I didnt expect you to be this kind of woman. Cant you just tolerate Jiarong? Shes just an innocent girl, cant you just make room for her?"

  "Do you know how important it is for a girl to be innocent? Fortunately, Jiarong didnt have an accident this time. If she did, wouldnt you feel guilty?"

  "Gu Xiyan, are you saying that your previous kindness and consideration were all just an act? Youre really disappointing me..."

  "Gu Xiyan apologized to Xiang Jiayu."

  “……”

  Right after Ye Jiarongs slap, she was knocked directly to the ground. The womans strength was so great that half of her face was swollen, but he thought she had fallen on purpose and didnt even want to help her up.

  Intentional? Haha...

  When she fell, her head hit the corner of the table. Gu Xiyans head hurt a bit, and when she touched it, there was already a big bump. But instead, she laughed, and as she laughed, tears streamed down uncontrollably.

  Their relationship cant even withstand a single provocation?

  She slowly got up from the floor by herself and looked at him, saying: "I didnt."

  But what she received was only his painful and disappointed gaze, as well as the scene of him carefully comforting the woman who was leaning against him like a little bird. Her eagerness to explain became intentional concealment in his eyes, he believed whatever that woman said, but didnt believe anything she said, so did he still say he loved her?

  How fragile love is! How vulnerable emotions are!

  She didnt regret saying those words, she didnt know what it meant to compromise, he didnt believe her, so she left! Asking her to take on this unfounded guilt and apologize to that woman who framed her, sorry, cant do that!

  Before Wei Zhe, she had never met anyone who treated her as well as he did. She really believed that he would always treat her this way, forever! Look at how ridiculous reality is!

  She sat at the airport for a long time, her phone not turned off, but Wei Zhe didnt call her even once. At that moment, she told herself in her heart that they were done. From then on, she no longer had to try hard to get along with his mother who cared about social status. From then on, she would no longer be heartbroken because he was good to other women. She told herself that Wei Zhe was just a passerby in her life, even if they had loved each other before, ultimately they were destined to part ways.

  The sky slowly darkened, and people came and went in the airport waiting hall. But she, still unconsciously shedding tears from the corners of her eyes. In her nineteen years of life, this was the day when she cried the most. This day was also the day when she decided to bid farewell to the past.

  Shang Yi Qi appeared at that moment. After crying for several hours, her eyes were already red and swollen, when suddenly someone grabbed her chin, forcing her to lift her head, and under the bright lights of the waiting hall, a man with a solemn expression, who was turning heads, was frowning at her in displeasure.

  The mans pair of deep eyes made it impossible for anyone to see through them at a glance, and when Gu Xiyan accidentally met his gaze, she couldnt help but feel a sense of fear.

  "Whats with the crying? Dont you know its disturbing?" The mans words made Gu Xiyan feel embarrassed.

  At that time, she was young and vigorous, so after thinking for a moment, she muttered unwillingly: "Cant people cry when theyre heartbroken?"

  "Oh," the man said with a sudden interest, "Do you have to cry just because youve had a breakup? If youre heartbroken, it means you two arent suitable for each other."

  "Its not that," Gu Xiyans eyes flashed with a hint of sadness: "He doesnt believe me."

  Gu Xiyan didnt know how she ended up chatting with a stranger, and even followed him to the capital.

  Perhaps it was because Shang Qi appeared at the most embarrassing moment in her life that she would subconsciously develop a dependence on and trust him. It had nothing to do with love, just dependence, just trust! And it was precisely this trust that two years later, when he said "Yaner needs a mother, youre very suitable", she almost chose to agree without hesitation.

  She had seen the girl named Yaner, and she also knew that she was not Shang Qis biological daughter, but a little girl he had taken in from somewhere. Marrying him and giving Yaner a complete home with him would be great! At least one person would be happy.

  ==

  There are only two days left before the Spring Festival, and the big courtyard is not as quiet as usual. Many young people who often run outside dont forget to come back home for a visit.

  After chatting with Grandma and Grandpa for a while and having lunch together, the little girl bounced up and down asking her grandparents to take her out to play. The two elderly people had nothing else to do, so they agreed.

  Wei Zhe returned to T City this afternoon. He had originally made up his mind to wait here until Gu Xiyan came back to her senses and needed him, but unexpectedly, a phone call from home forced him to return. At the company, he could be careless, but his mother was ill, and it was said that she was very seriously ill. How could he ignore such a big thing?

  Wei Zhe made an appointment with Gu Xiyan before he left. Gu Xiyan was originally going to refuse, but after thinking about it, she thought that instead of being unclear between the two of them, it would be better to make things clear, although she felt that her attitude had already been very obvious.

  "Yan Yan, I will be back." Wei Zhes eyes were filled with determination.

  Gu Xiyan poured cold water on him: "Wei Zhe, you should know that its impossible between us now. My husband is good to me, my daughter needs me, and I absolutely cannot leave them. Also, if we meet again in the future, please dont call me Xiyan anymore, I think this is not appropriate."

  Gu Xiyan was not ambiguous, if its over, then its over. The path that has been decided must be bravely walked on. Wei Zhe ultimately did not belong to her. And she could no longer belong to him either. They were just people who met at the right time but with the wrong person. Therefore, they would have no future together.

  "Ah-ah..." Wei Zhes face turned a few shades paler upon hearing this.

  Gu Xiyan said "have a safe journey" and left, unaware that Wei Zhe, who had been burning with fever behind her, almost couldnt stand upright.

  Yan Yan, dont call me Yan Yan... Yan Yan, are you going to deprive me of my last remaining right?

  Night.

  Shang Yiqis mother arranged a bedroom on the third floor for him and Gu Xiyuan. As he walked into the room, Shang Yiqi caught a glimpse of Gu Xiyuan sitting on the bed looking out through the floor-to-ceiling window.

  "Unfortunately, hes gone?" Shang Xi Qi wrapped his arms around Gu Xi Yan from behind.

  "Uh-huh."

  "Unfortunately, you still have me and Yaner."

  "I understand, okay."

  "He wont fight with me for his wife in the future, will he?" Jue Xiao Gu Xiyan was a bit down, and Shang Yi Qi rarely teased her.

  "Okay, Im just your wife." Gu Xiyan leaned back and rested her head on the mans chest.

  "Unfortunately, whats past is no longer important. One must look to the future." Shang Xi gently kissed Gu Xians cheek.

  "Yes, sir. The past is like smoke, Ill move forward." Little Chicken nodded slightly, Gu Xiyan said solemnly.
