"Go on, what do you mean?" Gu Mian leaned back in the soft seat, her delicate face without makeup, her right hand stirring the coffee with a seemingly careless air, but actually focusing all her attention on Du Hao sitting across from her.

  Du Hao has a handsome face, paired with a tall and well-proportioned figure, plus his identity as the young master of a wealthy family, wherever he goes, he is the focus of attention from everyone, even now there are not a few women who secretly glance at him.

  Unfortunately, todays Du Hao didnt have the smile that was always hanging on his mouth, and he looked at Gu Mian with a serious expression. His hair was slightly disheveled, and his gaze inadvertently swept over the suitcase by Gu Mians feet. On top of the suitcase was still stuck with the special label that the airline had put on during transportation.

  The suitcase was one that he and Gu Mian had specially bought as a couples luggage to travel together, but unfortunately now only one of them is left.

  "Why arent you speaking?" Gu Mian lightly smiled: "Is it because your conscience is uneasy?"

  Du Hao slightly furrowed his brow, unaccustomed to the cold attitude of Gu Mian speaking to him like that. It made him feel very uncomfortable: "Mianmian, I know this time it was my fault. I have nothing to say, if you want compensation, just speak up, as long as its within my capabilities, Ill help you achieve it."

  "Compensation?" Gu Mian seemed to have heard a huge joke, stopped stirring his coffee, and stared straight at Du Hao: "Emotionally, how can you compensate? With your identity as a married man, how can you compensate?"

  Gu Mei saw the diamond ring on Du Haos right hand, her eyes couldnt help but get a little wet and hot. She clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and lowered her head in an attempt to cover up.

  She did nothing wrong, and it was Du Hao who owed her an apology. At this moment, she absolutely could not show a weak face in front of him.

  They had originally agreed to travel back together and register their marriage, but just as they were about to board the plane, Du Hao suddenly couldnt make it due to something urgent, leaving her to go alone. She knew that Du Hao had been busy with a big project recently, so as a considerate girlfriend, she obediently boarded the plane and waited for him at the destination.

  As a result of this wait, the news of Du Haos grand wedding ceremony arrived. The moment before was still her unmarried husband, and the next moment became Qiaos familys son-in-law who rose to power quickly.

  Du Qiaos two families were united in marriage, such a big thing, and she was the last to know. If it wasnt for her good friend Bai Fangfang calling her, she wouldnt have known until when.

  When she returned by plane at the fastest speed, the news of Du Qiaos two families luxurious wedding was all over the sky. The wealthy Du family and the political newcomer Qiao family, such a perfect match, I dont know how many people envied them.

  She touched the jade bangle on her left hand, and a wave of sadness welled up in her heart. The bangle had been given to her by her grandfather ahead of her wedding, but now...

  Du Hao fell silent for a moment because of Gu Mians words. The Gu Mian he knew wasnt particularly outstanding in appearance, but she had an inexplicable charm that made people feel more comfortable the more they interacted with her, and unconsciously wanted to get closer.

  Such a Gu Man is like an unadorned ancient jade, it may not give you a stunning feeling at first, but with its unique charm, it will attract your attention from the first glance to the second, and then gradually, you cant move your eyes away. Thats why he would put aside other beauties and focus solely on Gu Man.

  What he likes most about Gu Mian is the others heart-pounding eyes, sometimes filled with autumn water, and sometimes bright and charming. But today, his favorite pair of eyes didnt have their usual spirit, instead revealing a faint sorrow that made ones heart tighten, as well as hidden deep-seated fatigue.

  Thinking about it, from the moment he received the message, he rushed back immediately. Gu Mian must not have rested at all, and both mentally and physically, he was exhausted. He took another look at Gu Mian and noticed that even his usually well-groomed hair was slightly disheveled.

  Du Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the faint sense of guilt in his heart, and pulled out a checkbook from his pocket. He extracted one and handed it to Gu Mian: "Mianmian, I dont know how to make up for the harm Ive caused you, but I hope you can accept this."

  Gu Mei glanced at the check with a string of zeros that would make ordinary people dizzy, straightened her waist and said to Du Hao: "I didnt come here to ask you for money, I just want to know why you did this."

  "Mingming, dont be stubborn, take this and it wont harm you." Du Hao deliberated for a moment before speaking: "You also know that I have a big project on my hands recently. This project needs approval from the top, if I dont marry Qiao Qingya, this project will likely fall through, and the Du Corporation will suffer huge losses..."

  Gu Meng looked at Du Hao, the man she once wanted to spend her life with, and slowly stretched out her hand, interrupting him: "I understand, compared to Qiaos young lady who can bring you power, I, an ordinary university junior, am not enough."

  Du Hao remained silent and pulled out another check from the check holder, combining it with the previous one, and placed them together in front of Gu Xiang.

  Such actions, without even opening his mouth, clearly expressed Du Haos intentions.

  Gu Xiang felt a suffocating sensation in her chest, and her eyes were slightly sour. At the same time, she also felt an inexplicable sense of relief. At least this thing happened before marriage, from a legal point of view, she and Du Hao didnt have any close relationship yet. If it had happened after marriage, following Du Haos current behavior, wouldnt she become a concubine?

  Yes, Gu Meng you should be lucky, lucky that you are now just a boyfriend and married to another woman, rather than being unmarried and becoming divorced.

  You thought Du Hao was a lifelong partner, but he didnt think so. A project that could have harmed the Du Corporation defeated you, whats left to cherish about such a man? Hes not worth your sorrow, nor is he worth your anger.

  Gu Mei stood up, her eyes staring at Du Hao: "I understand what you mean now. Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I wont take this money and I wont look for you again. Lets not see each other again!"

  After saying that, Gu Mei bent down to pull her suitcase and turned around to leave. She didnt want to stay here anymore, nor did she want to see Du Haos face again.

  "Ah-Ming!" Du Hao grasped Ah-Mings hand, stopping her from leaving, and said in a low voice, "Take back the check."

  "Du Hao, some things cant be compensated with money, let go!" Gu Mian didnt turn her head back and tried to struggle free from Du Haos grasp, but unfortunately Du Haos strength was astonishingly great, she couldnt break free immediately.

  "Let go!" Gu Ming glared fiercely at Du Hao.

  Du Hao looked straight at Gu Mian, picked up the check on the table and handed it in front of Gu Mians eyes.

  She was furious, and it was already her limit that she hadnt burst out in a loud scolding yet. Du Hao actually still had the nerve to put on such a strong attitude. How could it be? If she didnt accept the check today, wouldnt Du Hao not let her leave?

  Bam!

  Gu Mian wanted to leave, but Du Hao wouldnt let her go. As the two of them were tugging at each other, they didnt notice what was happening behind them. As a result, in their carelessness, they accidentally bumped into the dining cart parked beside them with too much force. The glassware on the cart suddenly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces in an instant.

  The huge noise immediately startled everyone in the restaurant. Du Hao had already attracted a lot of attention, and now he was even more the focus of everyones gaze.

  Du Haoming was taken aback for a moment, and his hand unconsciously loosened its grip.

  Gu Meng seized the opportunity, stretched out her hand and pushed Du Hao away, withdrew her hand, grabbed her luggage, ran quickly out of the restaurant, and swiftly hailed a taxi to leave this annoying place.

  "Sister, your hand is bleeding, are you okay?" Gu Ning looked back through the rear glass window to make sure Du Hao hadnt caught up with them, and as she let out a sigh of relief, she felt a slight pang of indescribable loss. She turned back around just in time to hear the drivers question.

  The taxi driver was a middle-aged woman who was looking at Ke Meng with worried eyes through the rearview mirror.

  Gu Mei lowered her head to take a look, and on the left wrist of her hand wearing a jade bangle, there was a cut about an inch long, which was currently bleeding straight down, and some had even stained the top of the jade bangle.
