One night of ups and downs—is it the collapse of two hearts, or the despair of two people...
The next day, the weather was gloomy and sultry.
Heavy dark clouds covered the sky, as if the whole world was already somber, making one feel a heavy heart.
Gu Yan stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom after taking off her pajamas, looking at the traces of last night’s lovemaking on her body, and felt unbelievably calm.
It was strange; she thought she would be excited or resistant, but when this mont actually ca, she felt calm instead.
Nobody expected it would co to this; so things they must face and must have a result.
She changed her clothes and went out; Tang Yuxiu was still asleep, and she went downstairs to make breakfast.
Just as she closed the bedroom door, Tang Yuxiu opened his eyes.
Tang Yuxiu ca downstairs right on ti as Gu Yan finished making breakfast, glancing at the clock on the wall—it was 7:25.
He saw a docunt bag placed on the coffee table in the living room.
It was the docunt bag he looked at last night.
So, it was finally ti to lay cards on the table.
Tang Yuxiu felt a dull pain in his heart.
Gu Yan carried two breakfasts out from the kitchen and placed them respectively, poking her head out from the dining room, and Tang Yuxiu quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at her.
Gu Yan smiled slightly, "You’re up, co have breakfast."
"Okay," he responded, and walked over.
The atmosphere at the dining table was inexplicably rigid.
Gu Yan had a sense of doubt—she hadn’t said anything, so why did she always feel that Tang Yuxiu actually knew?
Both of them were engrossed in their own thoughts.
This al, tasteless.
Finally, they finished eating. Although they ate very slowly, why did ti feel like it passed so quickly?
Gu Yan picked up the plates, "I’ll go wash them clean."
Tang Yuxiu watched her without saying a word, Gu Yan lowered her head slightly, and walked briskly into the kitchen.
Tang Yuxiu’s gaze followed her all the way; Gu Yan felt a prickling sensation on her back.
Gu Yan turned on the faucet, absentmindedly washing the plates; due to a slip of the hand, a plate fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Fragnts scattered all around, giving Gu Yan a scare. She hurriedly squatted down to pick them up, and Tang Yuxiu quickly ca in, face anxious.
"Don’t touch!"
Startled by his sudden shout, Gu Yan instinctively withdrew her hand.
Tang Yuxiu fetched a broom and swept the shards on the ground clean.
Gu Yan watched intently—he almost never did these things, and at this mont, she only felt a special pain in her heart.
They were like the shattered plates, broken all over, never able to be pieced back together.
Tang Yuxiu pulled Gu Yan’s hand, leading her to the living room.
"Don’t do these things in the future; I can hire a part-ti worker."
After saying this, Tang Yuxiu suddenly realized sothing different.
Gu Yan listened, slightly stunned.
Yes, she wouldn’t have to do them in the future, nor could she anymore.
Gu Yan smiled, nodding slightly, "Hmm, I won’t do them anymore in the future. You’re so busy with work, you’ll definitely be tired when you co back, and you can’t do them yourself. Still, it’s better to hire a part-ti worker—after all, you can’t tolerate even a little ss in the room. Rember to find soone responsible and attentive, okay?"
Tang Yuxiu gazed deeply at her, "I don’t need to worry about such things."
Gu Yan understood, "Right, with You Shuyang helping you handle things, that’s good—you can worry less about many things."
"I don’t an that; I don’t need to worry, because aren’t you still here? This is our ho—we will always live here, so naturally, these matters should also be your concern."
Gu Yan’s heart suddenly clenched—their ho...
She abruptly pulled out her hand from Tang Yuxiu’s grip and stepped back two steps.
Tang Yuxiu looked at the emptiness in his palm, as though a certain place in his heart also emptied, with a cold wind blowing in, especially unbearable.
Gu Yan turned her head, heart tightly twisted.
She lowered her eyes, looking at the docunt bag quietly lying on the coffee table, her eyes stung.
She took a deep breath and looked at Tang Yuxiu, "I have sothing to show you."
Tang Yuxiu’s hand at his side discreetly clenched, "What thing?"
Gu Yan bypassed Tang Yuxiu, reaching out to get the docunt bag.
Tang Yuxiu suddenly grasped her wrist tightly, making Gu Yan feel a slight pain.
She looked at him; he also gazed at her, into her eyes. There seed to be restraint and other emotions—so complex.
Gu Yan couldn’t understand.
Tang Yuxiu said in a low voice, "Yanyan, is there no room for redemption? Why can’t you let go?"
Gu Yan trembled all over, eyes wide, "What did you say?"
Tang Yuxiu said, "I already saw what’s inside."
Gu Yan was shocked, "How did you know!"
"Yesterday, I felt sothing was off with your tone, so I asked Xue Jiarui; you weren’t dining with Xue Xianglan. I knew sothing was wrong with you and worried, so I had You Shuyang check your whereabouts. I followed you to the mountaintop and then all the way back. I saw soone hand this docunt bag to you."
Gu Yan suddenly felt a bit weak, "So you watched put it in the drawer and looked at it while I was away."
"Yanyan..."
Gu Yan pushed his hand away, stepping back away from him, looking at him, "Since you’ve seen it, I don’t need to say more. I’ll be leaving today."
"Leaving!" Tang Yuxiu laughed sarcastically, "Yanyan, you want to leave again!"
Again?
This word, to Gu Yan, was such a big accusation.
"Tang Yuxiu, if you had no idea about these matters, I wouldn’t bla you for saying so, but knowing and still accusing —don’t you think it’s unfair to ?"
Is it her fault?
Did she want things to end up like this?
Does he know the tornt in her heart?
How could he, after knowing everything, still say this about her?
If anyone is to be blad, it’s Gu Yan blaming Tang Yuxiu—it’s their family that caused her parents’ death, made her live through hard days for so many years. She endured all the grievances, yet at the mont of truth, he still accused her of wanting to leave again like a victim!
Tang Yuxiu, do you think I want to leave you?
Tang Yuxiu looked at Gu Yan’s disappointed, sorrowful expression, heart aching, suddenly regretting his words, wishing to give himself a slap, yet still kept watching her.
"Yanyan, it’s clearly not who did wrong things, yet we have to bear the consequences. Is that fair to us?"
Gu Yan lowered her head, mockingly, "So what, aren’t children supposed to pay for their parents’ debts, naturally?"
His father did wrong, hurt her parents, and in the end, they bear the consequence of love torn apart and letting go.
Parent’s debts!
Clearly, her parents did no wrong, yet she has to endure the pain brought by enemies.
