mastermind behind it really was her. 。Gu Zhi's words were veiled. 。He naturally understood that the mastermind behind the scenes back then was definitely not Jiang Ling, but Lin Xiaoru. 。But back the...Lin Xiaoru was taking a shower in the bathroom, while Gu Yichen stood on the balcony, smoking one cigarette after another. Unknowingly, he had filled an ashtray.

For the first time in his life, he knew the taste of regret, how heartbreaking it was.

He regretted leaving two years ago, regretted getting engaged to Lin Xiaoru, and even more so regretted repeatedly insulting Su Kexin!

It was he himself who step by step drove away the woman he loved most. Now that it has come to this, who else can he blame

Now, Su Ke Xin's side already had Gu Chi...

Thinking of Gu Chi, he clenched his cigarette tighter.

He couldn't help but think back to when he gave Gu Chi those photos of Su Kexin. At the time, he had almost instinctively chosen to believe Su Kexin without a second thought.

Perhaps because he had already investigated thoroughly, that's why he was so calm. But whatever the reason, at least he didn't harm Su Kexin.

This comparison was clear. It made him even more agitated.

Speaking of photos, he realized he still hadn't deleted those pictures of Su Kexin that he had received on his phone.

He now only felt that those photos made his heart ache, and he immediately took them out, wanting to delete them.

But as he deleted one by one, he suddenly realized something.

Wait a moment.

These photos...how come they don't seem like the ones that were shown on the screen at Gu's banquet before

He didn't intentionally try to remember anything about Su Kexin, but for some reason, everything seemed etched in his mind, vividly clear.

Including those photos from the parties before.

Those photos, most of them were the same as on her phone, but one showed Su Kexin with her hair scattered and falling onto her pillow, which was different.

Gu Yichan only felt that he was having trouble breathing.

Why......

Didn't Lin Xiaoru say the photos were taken from his hands Then why are there more pictures on the screen than in her own phone

Could it be that...

Gu Yichen thought of a possibility, his heart tightened, but before he could think further, he suddenly heard a soft voice behind him—

"Ah Can"

Gu Yichen only then came to his senses, turning his head to see Lin Xiaoru with wet hair, looking at him cautiously.

For some reason, looking at this face that resembled Su Kexin but with an even more alluring beauty, he suddenly felt a shiver down his spine.

"That... Xiaoru," he stumbled back a few steps. "The magazine just called, this batch of samples has issues again, I need to rush back and deal with it. You go home and rest first."

Saying that, he didn't even wait for Lin Xiaoru to reply before quickly walking towards the entrance.

“Ah Han…” Lin Xiaoru was stunned and hurried to chase after him, but Gu Yichen had already gone out.

Lin Xiaoru stood there blankly.

Could Gu Yichen be so anxious to go out in the middle of the night for Su Kexin

Thinking of Su Kexin, Lin Xiaoru suddenly remembered the news she had heard on the phone before, and her face turned pale.

She sent someone to inquire from the old man two years ago. According to him, the lecherous old man hadn't succeeded two years ago but had been replaced by another mysterious man.

What shocked her even more was that the people she sent out couldn't find any information about that man. This meant that the mysterious man's power far surpassed hers.

Two years ago, who took Su Kexin's first time

……

The next morning, Su KeXin opened her eyes to see Gu Chi's handsome face right in front of her.

Such close proximity, she stood there for several seconds, only then reacting, realizing they were lying on their own bed.

She scrambled to get up in a hurry, but Gu Chi kept her eyes closed, his hand firmly holding her down. It seemed like he could feel her struggle, yet he didn't open his eyes, just murmured softly, "Don't move, it's only seven o'clock. We can still sleep for a while."

Su Ke Xin didn't expect Gu Chi to actually be awake. Her body stiffened, and she could only lie still, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

She didn't know how long she had been waiting, she only felt her nerves were on edge and she was sweating. It was only when the alarm clock on her phone rang that Gu Chi slowly opened her eyes. Her obsidian-like eyes immediately fell on Su Kexin.

"Good morning, Su Kexin," he whispered, his voice hoarse with the morning just waking up, like it was scratching at her heart, itchy.

Su Ke Xin couldn't help but blush, "Good morning."

Su Keqin got up and prepared a clean towel and toothbrush for Gu Chi. After making sure everything was familiar, she helped her mother get settled as well. Then Yang Zhao arrived with breakfast specially prepared by Wang Ma, including a special one for Su YaFen.

During the meal, Su Ke Xin couldn't help but whisper, "Actually, there's really no need to trouble Aunt Wang so much."

"It's no trouble, just takes a bit more time," Gu Chi took a sip of porridge and said faintly, "But if you still want to live here, you can only ask Wang Ma to be so troublesome every day."

Su Keqin was taken aback. "You mean, you're still staying here tonight"

"If you're still living here," Gu Chi said calmly, "I'll have Wang Ma bring my pajamas. After all, your clothes are really a bit small for me."

Su Ke Xin was speechless.

She now fully realized Gu Chi's domineering nature. He never raised his voice to her, nor forced her to do anything, but time and time again, he pushed her to compromise in his own way.

Su Kexin found that she was completely no match for him.

"I understand." She lowered her eyes. "I'll go back tonight."

A subtle curve played at Gu Chi's lips, "You could bring your mother over as well."

"Forget it, Mom wouldn't be comfortable living here."

"Then I'll find you a nurse and a nanny."

Su Ke Xin knew she couldn't win against Gu Chi, so she could only nod.

After dinner, Gu Chi sent Su Ke Xin to work. Su Ke Xin remembered there was a morning meeting today, so she went directly to the shared conference room on the top floor of the office building.

She didn't want to, but the moment she went in, she only saw Gu Yichen sitting there alone, seemingly preparing for a meeting.

Gu Yichen saw her and was also taken aback, "Su Ke Xin, didn't you receive the email that the meeting was delayed by half an hour"

Su Ke Xin cursed inwardly, yesterday Gu Chi's appearance had completely disrupted her plans, she even forgot to check her emails.

"Oh, I forgot. Sorry." She quickly tried to push him away. "I should go now."

"Just a moment."

But before she could step back, Gu Yichen called out to her.

Su Keqin frowned, "Editor-in-chief, is something the matter"

"I have something to ask you." Gu Yichan slowly rose to his feet. Compared to his previous sharpness, he now appeared gentle and courteous, like the good-looking young man from before. "Do you love Gu Chi" Xin, "I'll pick you up after work at noon and take you to the hospital." 。"No need, if you have something to do, just go ahead. I can handle it myself." 。Although Su Kexin really wanted Gu Chi to acc...
