Gu Sinian and Su Ying received the news late at night, after Li Yaxian had boarded the train.

The couple snuggled together and talked about Gu Yuanhong and Li Yaxian's divorce.

"Why would Dad agree to divorce Mom, who usually spoils her so much?"

Gu Sinian shook his head. "Who knows what that old man is thinking? But I was really surprised that they would get a divorce. I never expected it."

"Don't even mention you, I never expected they would get divorced. It's unbelievable. How credible are the things Si Shi said?"

Without even thinking, Gu Sinian blurted out, "Si Shi has no reason to lie. Besides, when Li Yaxian left, my dad called me and asked me to use my connections to arrange for her to go to Willow Village."

"They said that with my older sister looking after Willow Village, we shouldn't suffer much."

Su Ying turned to look at the man. Despite Gu Sinian's cold demeanor, he was very attentive to his family's affairs.

Although he resented Li Yaxian, it wasn't a true resentment, since they were family.

However, Ms. Li Yaxian's attitude towards her has made Gu Sinian unwilling to forgive her.

Later, it was revealed that Li Yaxian was going to support Qiao Xiyan's son, which shattered all the little hope he had left.

I've lost even the last shred of hope for her.

"So, did you agree?"

"No, no, my father-in-law told me not to get involved in this. There are people watching, and my name will be removed from the list of nominees for promotion this time."

"Why?" Su Yingteng sat up abruptly from Gu Sinian's arms.

"What exactly is going on? Didn't Dad say your promotion was a sure thing this time?"

"Yes, it's a sure thing, but there's always a chance of something going wrong."

Su Ying suddenly realized that the promotion report had just arrived, and with Li Yaxian's incident, Gu Sinian's promotion was put on hold. There was nothing she didn't understand.

"It's related to her, isn't it?"

Gu Sinian nodded, looking uninterested and clearly not wanting to discuss the matter further, so she didn't say anything more.

The issue was thus put on hold.

"It's getting late. Let's go to sleep."

"Uh-huh."

The next day.

Gu Sinian and Su Ying were packing their luggage in the living room, preparing to return to Willow Tree Village.

The captain had written to them more than once, inviting them to go back and visit when they had time, and this time they finally found an opportunity.

Gu Sinian's promotion plans fell through, and since his annual leave application had already been approved, he might as well go back and relax.

The four people in the living room were busy organizing things. Su Ying secretly put all the heavy items in the space to lighten the burden.

Before I could finish packing, I heard a very urgent knocking on the door.

Gu Sinian frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him. He had just started his vacation and already encountered something he couldn't handle. Was he going to have to extend his vacation by another day?

I feel a little bit annoyed.

They were ready to leave at noon, and had already bought their train tickets. They didn't want any problems to arise at this crucial moment.

Upon opening the door, a familiar face appeared before Gu Sinian's eyes, and his spirits plummeted.

"What problem can't be solved and requires my intervention? I'm on vacation today. If there's anything I can't handle, I can ask Chief Qin. He's much more capable than me."

Liu Xiaoliu had a look on his face that suggested Commander Gu was incredibly insightful and knew exactly why he had come.

How did you know I came here because I had something I couldn't resolve?

Gu Sinian looked like he knew it all along, "I don't know what kind of people you are, you've always been like this."

Liu Xiaoliu scratched the back of his head. Although what Commander Gu said made a lot of sense, he couldn't be so blunt. Didn't he have any pride?
