"Is there no one left in Europe? Why are you going there yourself?"

"What emergency? Gu Nanyan, are you kidding me?! Isn't it always Nan Chen who's in Europe?" Gu Nanchen's abilities are by no means weak, but he's always been abroad, so people in Beijing don't know much about the second young master of the Gu family.

"Gu Nanyan, what exactly happened last night?" Shen Bei'an asked urgently. Having finally made progress, Shen Bei'an didn't want to let Gu Nanyan off the hook so easily.

"If there's nothing wrong, why are you hiding?"

Hearing the woman's words, Shen Beian almost laughed in anger. "You haven't dodged yet? If you're going to dodge, are you planning to ride Chang'e to the moon or Zhurong to Mars?"

"You're not going anywhere. Wait for me at the company. I'm coming right now." Helpless, Shen Bei'an resorted to the original owner's methods: "If you dare leave, just you wait!"

Gu Nanyan was a little dazed when Shen Bei'an abruptly hung up on him, the harsh tone of which left him somewhat bewildered.

She had almost forgotten about Shen Bei'an like this.

"President." Meng Zhaojun, dressed in a refined black, tight-fitting, narrow-sleeved outfit reminiscent of a chivalrous swordswoman, stood beside Gu Nanyan.

She had only seen Gu Nanyan like this once before.

Gu Nanyan practically slumped into her seat. "Stop the plane. We're not going to Europe. Go down and meet Mr. Gu." She covered her face with her hand; the gentleness she had shown these past few days had almost made her forget the so-called past.

When the tears were torn open again, she still couldn't help but choose to...escape.

If it's useful.

"Yes." Meng Zhaojun was like a robot, almost devoid of any emotion.

Shen Beian drove very fast, constantly trying to recall what happened last night.

I should have known better than to drink!

I had finally managed to improve my relationship with her, but now it feels like I'm back to square one!

What exactly happened between this domineering CEO wife and the original owner of this body?

Originally, I planned to follow the so-called transmigration principle: I must win over the marriage partner.

Let's see if we can go back.

Besides, even if we can't go back after winning over Gu Nanyan, it'll be even more enjoyable here.

Moreover, if he could go back, the original owner might also return. If they could then reconcile their marital relationship, it would be a fair way to repay him for occupying the original owner's body for so long.

But now all the plans are ruined!

The walkthrough had only just begun, how did it end already?

Shen Bei'an stormed into the Gu Group building, where Meng Zhaojun was waiting for him in the lobby.

Because it was so urgent, Shen Beian just grabbed a coat and put it on. Luckily, Gu Nanyan had changed him into an indigo long robe last night, and the coat he grabbed was a dark blue brocade with plum blossom patterns, which looked quite stylish on him.

"Gu Nanyan, explain yourself clearly, what exactly do you mean?" For some reason, Shen Bei'an felt that this wasn't the first time Gu Nanyan had run away from the issue!

Gu Nanyan sat in a chair behind a golden nanmu wood table, his hands wrapped in wide bandages beneath his tea-white wide sleeves.

His peach-blossom eyes widened suddenly, and he strode over, grabbing her wrist. "What happened to your hand?!"

He can't hold his liquor, but his manners when drunk are alright.

Surely it wouldn't warrant smashing a bottle and hitting someone?

And it's impossible for it to end up in her hands, right?

"It's alright, An'an." Gu Nanyan's voice was slightly choked, as if he was trying to suppress something.

Shen Bei'an looked up at her, "Gu...Gu...Gu Nan'an..." He had never seen Gu Nan'an so vulnerable. In Shen Bei'an's memory, Gu Nan'an was always a god-like existence, and nothing could break her.

Moreover, in the original book, Gu Nanyan is indeed that kind of person.

No matter how much trouble Shen Bei'an caused, Gu Nan'an could handle it all.

Even the male and female leads have to give way to Gu Nanyan.

"Let me hug you, just... just for a little while." Before Shen Bei'an could react, Gu Nan'an pulled him into a tight embrace, his voice tinged with a hint of pleading.

In that instant, the faint scent of white agarwood enveloped my entire body, and a soft body pressed tightly against me.

Shen Bei'an sensed Gu Nan'an's deep sorrow and pain, as well as the weakness that was almost impossible for her to exhibit.

Shen Bei'an didn't know what to do, so he could only gently pat Gu Nan'an's back. He didn't know what to say either, so he could only whisper, "I'm here... I'm here."

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Beian felt a dampness on his shoulder.

She cried!

This realization left Shen Beian even more at a loss.

He had never tried to win a girl's heart before, let alone since he came here.

It's always others who rack their brains to coax me; how could I possibly have the chance to coax others?
