——Do you not trust me anymore?

I do trust you.

Why wouldn’t I trust you?

Yuanyuan, I believe every word you say. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

But this time, I’m afraid I can’t believe it...

At this moment, besides being silent, Sheng Yi doesn’t react otherwise, making Gu Yuan unsure what Sheng Yi is truly thinking.

But Sheng Yi definitely needs her own space to process this.

She stood up and gave her space, walking towards Chi Yu.

As soon as Chi Yu saw Gu Yuan approaching, he immediately sat up straight like a schoolboy, almost folding his hands waiting to be scolded.

Gu Yuan: "Stand up."

Chi Yu stood up immediately.

Gu Yuan: "Follow me."

Chi Yu hurriedly matched Gu Yuan’s pace.

Gu Yuan’s office is large, with an independent, spacious lounge inside, equipped like a suite, with bright windows and spotless cleanliness.

Chi Yu followed behind and entered, and once he was in, Gu Yuan said, "Close the door."

Close the door on the dog??

That phrase suddenly popped into Chi Yu’s mind!

If she’s gonna beat the dog, then let her beat the dog.

After all, he did such a dog-like thing!

He closed the lounge door and obediently walked up to Gu Yuan, confessing honestly before being questioned: "I shouldn’t have ignored what you said before and brought this up with Sheng Yi. I was wrong, Yuanyuan, just scold me."

He hung his head, his attitude in admitting fault was absolutely on point.

Gu Yuan wanted to laugh seeing him like this, but kept a straight face: "Do you think I called you in to hold you accountable?"

Chi Yu was momentarily frozen, his expression suddenly became blank: "Not to hold me accountable?"

Gu Yuan shook her head.

Chi Yu let out a huge sigh of relief, feeling more at ease, his legs numb from standing so long, and he sat down by the bed in the lounge.

Gu Yuan turned to look at him: "Why did you suddenly bring up this matter with Sheng Yi?"

That hit the nail on the head.

Yuanyuan is really sharp.

Given the situation now, Chi Yu definitely couldn’t lie; stepping on a lie now would be stepping on a landmine. He confessed the truth: "I made a deal with Sheng Yi."

"What kind of deal?" Although she didn’t know what the deal was, Gu Yuan already had a hunch.

Chi Yu really seems cut out to be a shrewd businessman.

"I... I just... just wanted to..." He looked up at Gu Yuan, with a face impossibly handsome, using a voice so meek it became exceptionally soft to say: "Remarry."

He said it so quietly.

If it weren’t for figuring out from his lip movement that the words he said were ’remarry’, Gu Yuan guessed she would’ve had to ask again.

Desperately wants to remarry, humbly online, not even daring to speak loudly!

Gu Yuan looked down at him, amusement in her tone: "Didn’t eat, can’t even speak louder."

Louder?

Of course, he can!

Chi Yu said out loud: "I want to remarry you!!! I want to be by your side legitimately, I don’t want to be your ex-husband for a day longer."

Finally voicing his heartfelt wish, Chi Yu felt completely at ease.

Gu Yuan said: "The title of ex-husband, was it forced upon you by me?"

Chi Yu: "I brought it upon myself."

Gu Yuan: "There you have it."

Chi Yu: "..."

There you have what?

A title of an ex-husband, can’t be taken off once worn, living each day even more frustrated.

Gu Yuan asked him: "How much did you tell Yiyi?"

"Not much at all..." Chi Yu leaned closer, holding Gu Yuan’s hand, nodding off his forehead, his voice muffled: "Just that... uh, his name is Dao An, I said Dao An went to M Country to avoid her, at that moment, she couldn’t sit still anymore, immediately agreeing to make a deal with me, I really didn’t deceive her."

Gu Yuan: "Using her weak spot to make a deal, that doesn’t count as deceit?"

Chi Yu: "..."

He defended: "At first, I didn’t know she’d react so strongly. The deal was cost-effective, didn’t lose her anything."

He bounced her hand back and forth, like a child being coddling, Gu Yuan spread his hand: "Speak properly."

He couldn’t stay seated, stood up and embraced her from behind: "I just heard Sheng Yi say, she’s going to participate in a variety show next, it’s a lifestyle reality outdoor show, record location in Ancient Water Village..." He leaned close to Gu Yuan’s ear, "Sheng Yi also said, you have deep feelings for Ancient Water Village."

"Yiyi didn’t lie to you, I do have deep feelings for Ancient Water Village."

Gu Yuan let Chi Yu hold her from behind, hand gently resting on his hand, an intimate gesture. Chi Yu held tighter, resting his chin on Gu Yuan’s shoulder, "Yuanyuan, can I hear your Ancient Water Village story?"
