I consistently held a resisting attitude towards Gu Yuanzhou.
Thus, I was always the first one to oppose any of his decisions.
“President Gu, it’s getting late. I’d rather find a guest room to rest.”
“It’s still early, it’s not ti to sleep yet. I can give you the day off tomorrow.”
He didn’t give any chance to back off, and still very domineeringly led upstairs.
I had actually been to this room before.
Here were many mories, all pertaining to Gu Yuanzhou and . I didn’t want to recall or touch upon them.
My steps paused at the door.
“President Gu, your wife has passed away. Now you’re pulling into her room with you, don’t you feel a bit uneasy?”
He glanced back at , pulled into the bedroom, shut the door behind us, and turned on the light.
After entering the bedroom, he held my hand tightly, never to let go.
“Look at this bedroom!”
He pulled by the table and sat down.
There was a music box on the table, he opened it, a bride in a wedding dress began to spin, slowly rotating with the music.
The long-lost sound of the music also awakened many mories.
“Do you know what this is?”
Gu Yuanzhou pointed at the music box as he asked from beside .
I shook my head and acted dumb.
“This is a doll that was put on the hood of the wedding car the day I married my wife…”
“Oh!”
“Do you know why this object wasn’t moved to our new ho instead?”
“Not sure!”
“Because the year we married, I was very poor and even the bridal chamber we lived in was rented. It was small, only about thirty plus square ters. But, even though it was small, half the space had to be cleared out for storage of clothes, our computers, and other office supplies. Therefore, many items were still kept at her parent’s house, in this maiden room.”
He described the past, in a deep voice.
I, of course, know all of it, but I had to pretend that I didn’t.
“She liked this music box very much. On our wedding day, she looked as beautiful and ethereal in her white dress as this bride doll. I always felt so lucky to marry her.”
Gu Yuanzhou’s fingers touched that music box.
He seed touched.
Whereas, I despised him, I thought he was lying.
He was working an emotion card.
In other words, he was performing in front of . His aim was simple, to cover up for Ye ngyan.
Maybe it’s because my guard was up, no matter how much he appealed to sentint, it was hard for to empathize.
After a while, he opened a drawer and flipped out a photo album.
There were many photos in it.
So were my individual photos, and a few were taken together with Gu Yuanzhou.
That ti, when I first started dating, I was a bit naive. Leaning on Gu Yuanzhou, my face was full of sunshine and smiles.
I was thinking, if I could be reborn at that age, I would never marry Gu Yuanzhou
That night, Gu Yuanzhou told a lot of things.
About how the two of us had fallen in love, got married, and started a business.
But I felt restless inside, too restless to listen.
It was not until almost one in the morning that Gu Yuanzhou finally let go.
“You will sleep here tonight!”
“President Gu, what do you an? You want to sleep in your deceased wife’s maiden room?”
He did not answer my question but just stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at intently for a long ti.
“I’ll be downstairs, call if you need anything!”
At this point, I was exhausted and did not want to argue with him anymore. I could only agree.
After he left my bedroom, I went to the bathroom.
Just at that mont, Wenya called on video, and I answered directly.
In the video, Wenya is lying in bed, still slightly sleepy. She stares at for a while before saying,
“Damn, you actually answered. I thought you wouldn’t pick up.”
While brushing my teeth and washing my face, I ask her,
“Why are you looking for at this hour?”
“I was already asleep, but Yinuo from your ho kept calling to rush ! He’s worried about what Gu Yuanzhou might do to you.”
“He won’t hurt .”
“Hey, your bathroom looks familiar. You couldn’t possibly be at the Song’s house, could you?”
“Exactly, I’m at my uncle’s house.”
Next, I told Wenya about Gu Yuanzhou bringing to the Song’s house and his various attempts to test .
After listening, Wenya concluded, “I guess he’s starting to suspect you! Ayun, you mustn’t give yourself away. If he finds out you’re reborn ”
“So what if he does?”
“He might kill you again! It’s pretty risky.”
“Tell Ding Yinuo not to worry! I’m fine!”
“Ayun, take my advice, don’t trust Gu Yuanzhou! Don’t believe a single word he says.”
“Okay!”
After hanging up the phone, I washed my face and then got into bed.
Everything here is very familiar to .
I have slept on this bed for years, even the blanket was chosen by .
The furniture and decorations in the room remain the sa.
Switching off the light, listening to the sound of rain outside, my mind was involuntarily filled with mories of Gu Yuanzhou.
I searched hard, looking for any trace of betrayal in our past life as a married couple.
I couldn’t find any!
From being in a relationship to our marriage, he was genuinely good to and responsible towards our child.
But why did he betray ?
When did he change his mind?
I thought and thought, unable to sleep, not until the break of dawn did I fall into a confused sleep.
The next morning, I woke up groggily, staring at the ceiling, montarily unsure of where I was.
Until a man’s voice by the bed called out.
“Ayun!”
Just like the countless tis he gently woke up.
I unconsciously responded.
But when I looked closely, it was Gu Yuanzhou.
I imdiately reverted to a defensive stance, “President Gu! How can you enter my room at will?”
“This is my wife’s boudoir don’t I have the right to enter and exit freely?”
I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When I ca out, Gu Yuanzhou was inserting a bunch of flowers into a vase.
This seed very familiar.
When I was too busy with our two children in the past, he would help out with so chores, taking care of the children, arranging flowers.
Our family atmosphere was great back then, and friends had complinted Gu Yuanzhou as a good family man, even taking care of sanitary pads attentively.
Standing still, arms crossed, I watched him finish arranging a bunch of flowers and place them in the sunlight.
“What do you think?”
He turned to look at .
In a flat voice, I said, “President Gu, I find roses very tacky, especially this fiery red color, it’s unbearably vulgar.”
Gu Yuanzhou frowned, “My wife said red roses symbolize a passionate love! Like a fla.”
With a sardonic smile, I said, “If she could be reborn, she would definitely tell you that what she hates the most in this life is fire!”
Perhaps my words had struck a nerve with Gu Yuanzhou. He could no longer maintain his composure.
“Sotis, I think you are very much like my wife. Your behaviors, thought patterns, and even your eating habits are so similar. But I know you’re not her. Because My wife has been wronged by the Ding family for so many years, there’s no way she would associate with them.”
