War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 369: My Child with Tang Yuxiu

Wang Qi vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

"Miss Gu Yan..."

"Wang Qi." Gu Yan suddenly interrupted her, causing Wang Qi to pause.

"Wang Qi, I should have called you this way before, instead of formally addressing you as President Wang, and you weren’t supposed to call me Miss Gu Yan so formally, right?"

Wang Qi looked at her, momentarily unable to respond, "You..."

"I don’t remember anything, but my feelings are still there. I feel we were familiar, that we knew each other before, don’t you think?"

"Gu Yan..." Wang Qi called softly, then lowered her head slightly with a somewhat bitter smile on her lips. "I never thought that after five years when we met again, it would be like this—you don’t remember me."

Gu Yan’s hands at her sides unconsciously clenched tightly. "What exactly happened five years ago? Why did you all think I was dead, and why don’t I remember anything?"

"This whole thing was probably a misunderstanding at the time." Wang Qi recalled the scene five years ago outside the morgue when she heard the news of Gu Yan’s death; it seemed she could still feel that moment even now.

This should be the greatest non-misunderstanding of misunderstandings.

The two of them sat down, and Wang Qi said, "Yu Xiu instructed us yesterday that even if we see you, we should pretend not to recognize you, fearing it might trigger something in you."

"Why would it trigger something in me?"

"You had such a terrible car accident that year, and you forgot all of us. No one knows your current physical condition. If you’re suddenly exposed to people and things from the past, what if you can’t handle it?"

Gu Yan frowned slightly. "I feel like my body is pretty good and shouldn’t be like that, right?"

Wang Qi smiled. "You don’t know, but when it comes to matters regarding you, Yu Xiu is always exceptionally cautious, especially now that you’ve come back alive. He’s even more afraid of anything hurting you, which is why there are so many concerns."

Gu Yan pursed her lips and asked, "Did Tang Yuxiu and I really have a good relationship before?"

"I don’t know how you both viewed each other’s feelings, but from our perspective, you both loved each other very much."

Gu Yan fell into silence.

Perhaps some people, even if forgotten, once they meet again, those deep feelings from before will gradually resurface. Tang Yuxiu was such a person for Gu Yan.

Even though she knew she had only met him a day ago, she inexplicably trusted him and felt good about him.

In her heart, she firmly believed that he was once someone very important, possibly even the father of her children, the missing person in their family.

"Can you tell me about the past between him and me?" Gu Yan asked.

"Why don’t you ask Tang Yuxiu yourself?"

"As you said, he doesn’t want me to come into contact with past people and events. If I asked, he wouldn’t tell me."

Wang Qi thought for a moment and agreed. "But I think if you ask, he might not necessarily refuse to tell you."

After all, since you initiated the question.

"I still don’t want to ask him."

Wang Qi shrugged. "Then I have no way of telling you about the past."

Gu Yan was puzzled, "Why?"

"Young Master Tang had already said it. Now that you’ve lost your memory, you don’t remember. That person, how can anyone go against his wishes? Besides, he is my boss. I’m afraid of being fired if I don’t listen. My husband also works under him; I have to think about our family."

Gu Yan, "... You speak so righteously; I’m left speechless."

"What I said is true. It’s just a pity you can’t remember now."

Gu Yan, "..."

Who’s the one who was formally calling her Miss Gu Yan before? Now they’re so familiar already? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Miss Wang Qi, your role switch is too fast; it’s completely caught her off guard.

"It looks like we really were familiar before, your tone and way of speaking are completely different from before."

Wang Qi raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

Gu Yan nodded emphatically.

"When the feeling comes, you can’t stop it. If you want to know something, go ask Tang Yuxiu. I really won’t say anything. Besides, about the matters between you two, apart from you, who knows better than him?"

"That’s what they say, but he won’t tell me."

"You’ve not even asked and are so sure. I can tell you this: Since believing you were dead, these years, he’s been almost a wreck, now just holding on to a sense of responsibility towards the Tang Family and Tang Family Company. Now that you’re back, perhaps he’s not as oppressed and burdened."

What Wang Qi said was sincere, and it made Gu Yan inexplicably saddened.

What kind of feelings made him become a puppet in front of others after losing them?

How deep were their feelings for each other before?

Gu Yan realized that everything between them, depending on others’ words, was futile. Only when she remembered it herself would it be the most genuine feeling.

It was also about forgiving him and releasing him.

"I will ask nothing. I want to remember it myself."

Wang Qi looked at her shining eyes and couldn’t help but smile. "It’s been so long since I’ve seen you. Gu Yan, I really missed you!"

As she spoke, Wang Qi unexpectedly had moist eyes, perhaps lamenting the regret of the past five years without her presence.

Gu Yan seemed to sense it as well and felt a bit heartbroken.

"Sorry for upsetting you all and making you worry."

"Actually, now that you’re back, it’s the best thing, and the hardest part these years was for Yu Xiu."

Gu Yan slightly frowned, "I feel like I’ve let him down."

"Between you two, there’s no ’letting anyone down,’ it’s all fate playing tricks."

Gu Yan also sighed—things she had forgotten, indeed, also she didn’t know what exactly happened between them.

"Right, I heard you have children now?"

"Yes, a pair of twins, called Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian."

"That’s wonderful. At that time, you had a miscarriage due to an accident, and later some things happened. Everyone thought it would be hard for you to have children again in this lifetime. Unexpectedly, you gave birth to a pair of twins. Such a pleasant surprise for us."

"When I knew I was pregnant with twins at that time, I was also very surprised; it’s such a blessing."

Though back then, she was bewildered and puzzled as to why she had children, their arrival truly filled most of the voids in her heart and life and brought her peace.

"Do you have pictures? Let me see."

"I do!" Gu Yan promptly took out the photos on her phone, and she and Wang Qi sat down together to look at the pictures.

When Wang Qi saw the two chubby, cute babies on the screen, her heart immediately melted, and her eyes sparkled.

"So beautiful and adorable! Ah, this child looks so much like Tang Yuxiu—they are truly his son!" Wang Qi pointed at Gu Xiaobao.

"So Gu Xiaonian and Gu Xiaobao are really Tang Yuxiu and my children?"

"Of course, if not Tang Yuxiu’s, whose could they be?"
