After reading the farewell letter left by Gu Yan, Tang Yuxiu suddenly collapsed onto the chair, his hand holding the letter drooping weakly.
He never knew that being with him brought such great pressure to Gu Yan, yet she never ntioned it.
Because of him, she had been set up by others, kidnapped, and her originally ordinary and peaceful life was disrupted by him.
Because of him, she suffered many injuries she shouldn’t have to bear, yet she didn’t even know why she experienced those things.
Because of him, she silently endured pressure from the outside world and from her own heart.
And what had he been doing all this ti?
Whenever he heard her ntion leaving, he beca incredibly angry and annoyed, always threatening her with his words.
Ti and ti again, it was her who silently compromised.
Finally unable to endure it, she left...
Tang Yuxiu suddenly realized that it was he himself who had driven her away.
If he had been more attentive, or shown his feelings a little, given her so sense of security, maybe things wouldn’t have reached this point.
Tang Yuxiu sat in the music room for an entire night.
The next day, when You Shuyang ca to find him, he was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, unbathed, unwashed, and unkempt.
Although he still appeared neat, so details were disordered, with faint dark circles under his eyes.
Compared to before, this was already considered slovenly for Tang Yuxiu.
You Shuyang thought to himself, Gu Yan’s departure has dealt a heavy blow to Young Master Tang.
"How is it?" Tang Yuxiu asked, his voice hoarse from a sleepless night.
And within it, You Shuyang heard a sense of decadence.
Decadence.
Those two words seed particularly incongruous with Tang Yuxiu.
He had known Tang Yuxiu for so many years, when was he not towering and high-spirited, never showing any low monts.
But now, he showed a side of depression and decadence.
Because of Gu Yan.
He truly fell for her.
They all thought he would spend his life alone, but unexpectedly, Gu Yan appeared, and unconsciously changed him.
He liked Gu Yan more than they imagined, maybe he gradually fell deeply in love with her.
You Shuyang replied, "Last night, I quickly checked all the surveillance around the villa area, and finally tracked Miss Gu to the long-distance bus station, but I haven’t found out which bus she took."
Because that station sells tickets on the bus, no ID is required, so no matter how extensive his information network, it was impossible to find out in such a short ti.
Tang Yuxiu remained silent, and You Shuyang didn’t dare to make a sound, prepared for Tang Yuxiu to get angry.
But he rely leaned wearily against the sofa, pinched the bridge of his nose, and faintly said, "Continue checking, no matter where, it must be found. But, don’t disturb her."
Huh?
You Shuyang was surprised.
"Young Master, don’t you want Miss Gu to co back?"
Tang Yuxiu said, "I will have her co back, but not now."
He wants to investigate everything thoroughly, handle everything here, and then let her return without any concerns.
He will let her stand openly by his side, he will tell everyone that the person Tang Yuxiu likes is Gu Yan, and in this lifeti, she will be the only one!
"You just go find her, let soone secretly stay by her side without letting her discover, and then help investigate sothing."
"What thing?"
"Everything Nie Rong knows about , including private life."
"Young Master, do you suspect her..."
You Shuyang didn’t finish, but both understood clearly.
"I know very well what I would do and wouldn’t do, so I never believed that I had any relations with her that day, and now she inexplicably claims to be pregnant with my child, I won’t believe a word."
If Nie Rong is deceiving him, then he certainly won’t let her get away with it!
"Okay, Young Master, I will find Miss Gu as soon as possible, and also investigate these things quickly."
"Hmm." Tang Yuxiu nodded, then got up, "Wait for a mont here, I will go upstairs to change and then go to the company."
You Shuyang frowned and spoke up, "Young Master, you haven’t slept all night, you should rest today."
"No need."
"But you look very tired."
"It doesn’t matter."
No matter how tired he was, it was not as weary as Gu Yan’s heart.
Without Gu Yan in this villa, what reason was there to stay?
Without Gu Yan by his side, how could he sleep?
You Shuyang watched Tang Yuxiu’s back as he went upstairs, once so upright and confident, now turned lonely and solitary, suddenly giving rise to a feeling of heartache.
Tang Yuxiu arrived at the bedroom, noticing the perfectly made bed with no trace of anyone sleeping in it, and his heart abruptly ached.
He went into the bathroom for a shower and grooming, then went downstairs to head to the company with You Shuyang.
In the days that followed, Tang Yuxiu stayed at the company working overti, practically sleeping at the office every day.
Xue Xianglan learned from Xue Jiarui that Gu Yan left because of Tang Yuxiu, and she imdiately stord into the President’s office of Tang Group to confront Tang Yuxiu.
"Tang Yuxiu, I thought you could deliver your promises and be good to Gu Yan, but I didn’t expect you’d drive her away!"
Tang Yuxiu silently endured Xue Xianglan’s accusations, without saying a word.
Xiang Linghao arrived right after Xue Xianglan, grabbing her arm, "Xianglan, Yuxiu didn’t want this either."
"He didn’t? I don’t care whether he did or didn’t, what matters is Gu Yan is gone. If she never cos back and doesn’t contact , where do I find her?"
As Xue Xianglan spoke, feeling wronged, tears welled up in her eyes.
She was always a cheerful person, rarely did anything make her tear up.
But Gu Yan was her best friend and confidante for many years. They shared so much, always beside each other over the years, and suddenly Gu Yan left. She really couldn’t accept it or get used to it.
Xiang Linghao felt sorry for Xue Xianglan like this; he could count on one hand the tis he had seen her cry.
It spoke volus about how much Gu Yan ant to her.
"Tang Yuxiu, how could Gu Yan like soone? How unfortunate for her to have been fond of you!"
After saying that, Xue Xianglan turned and left.
She didn’t want to show her vulnerability in public, but there were tis she couldn’t hold back.
Xiang Linghao looked at Tang Yuxiu, then chased after her.
Tang Yuxiu remained silent from the mont Xue Xianglan arrived to when she left, as if what anyone said couldn’t affect him or wasn’t his concern.
...
Gu Yan carried a suitcase, unsure of her destination. She simply followed the crowd onto a bus, getting off at the last stop to stay the night before heading to the station the next morning, choosing a destination that seed appealing.
She didn’t know where she’d end up, nor did she want to stay in one place, fearing being found by Tang Yuxiu.
Yet deep down, she seed to yearn to be found by him.
Suppressing this feeling with force, she wandered alone through inconspicuous little towns.
...
In a dimly lit private room at Shengshi, the light cast shadows on the man’s handso profile, cold and detached.
The woman sitting opposite wore a fitted dress, appearing gentle yet fragile.
After a long silence, she finally couldn’t help but speak first.
"Yuxiu, didn’t you say you wanted to discuss sothing when you asked out? Why aren’t you saying anything?"
Tang Yuxiu wouldn’t know how surprised and delighted Nie Rong was when You Shuyang called her, telling her Tang Yuxiu invited her out for dinner.
Tang Yuxiu had never been proactive before; this was the first ti.
She believed Tang Yuxiu must have accepted that the child she was carrying was his, and with Gu Yan gone, he was finally soft-hearted enough to look at her.
She deliberately chose a pure white fitted dress and carefully grood herself, wanting to present her best self to him.
Yet, upon arriving, Tang Yuxiu remained silent as ti ticked by, making her increasingly uneasy.
Sothing felt off.
Tang Yuxiu crossed his legs, his hands clasped on his knee, his dark eyes sharp as they fixed on Nie Rong.
Nie Rong felt an inexplicable jolt under his gaze.
She steadied herself, speaking again, "Yuxiu, are you unhappy?"
"Get rid of the child." Tang Yuxiu suddenly spoke after she finished her sentence.
What? Nie Rong was shocked, staring at him in disbelief.
She never expected he would say such a thing!
Those simple four words instantly shattered all her joy and anticipation, plunging her into a cold abyss.
"Yuxiu, why do you want to abort it? This is your child!"
Tang Yuxiu’s lips curled into a mocking smile, "Mine? Is Miss Nie really sure it’s my child?"
Nie Rong was taken aback, "What do you an by that?"
"Miss Nie, I don’t feel like beating around the bush with you. According to my investigation, Miss Nie frequently visits nightclubs and bars behind the scenes. I doubt I need to list the number of n you’ve slept with; you probably can’t count them yourself. Long before the banquet, you were no longer a virgin. The blood on the sheets ca very conveniently without any reason."
Tang Yuxiu spoke word for word, causing Nie Rong’s face to turn pale inch by inch.
"Yuxiu, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"You know better than I do whether I’m talking nonsense, Miss Nie."
Nie Rong clenched her palms tightly, "Yuxiu, where did you hear these slanders? You’re the only man I’ve been with."
"Heh." Tang Yuxiu sneered, "Miss Nie, don’t flatter yourself. , your only man? Not to ntion I’m not even your man; we haven’t done anything together. Even if we had, so what? Miss Nie’s private life is so rich you wouldn’t bother with soone like . Moreover, the night after the banquet, Miss Nie was out at a nightclub seeking pleasure again, and now you’re pregnant and waving around a report claiming it’s my child? I feel truly wronged on my behalf."
He hadn’t done anything, yet had to shoulder such bla. Tang Yuxiu was not one to be easily fooled.
Moreover, due to a baseless accusation over a child that wasn’t his, Gu Yan was heartbroken and pushed away; this was sothing he could not tolerate!
