Gu Jingchen didn't say anything more, leaving Su An enough quiet space.
He spent the whole night on the sofa in the living room, not knowing what he was thinking about.
the next day--
As soon as the sky brightened, a small noise came from Su An's room.
Gu Jingchen looked over almost instantly.
Then he saw Su An coming out of the room with a pale face, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night.
“An An…”
Gu Jingchen looked at the person in front of him with some heartache, not knowing what to say.
Su An had already come over.
She stopped in front of Gu Jingchen, as if she had something to say.
Gu Jingchen didn't urge him and just waited quietly.
A while——
"Gu Jingchen."
Su An finally spoke.
Her tone was calm as she asked, "I told you before that I'd agree to anything as long as you could help me rescue the child, so... if you want me to stay, I can refuse."
When Gu Jingchen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if a spark was ignited in a handful of dry grass.
But Su An's next words instantly extinguished the spark.
She said—
"But I can only promise you that I will continue to serve as your assistant and maintain a superior-subordinate relationship with you. As for the rest... I'm sorry, I can't promise more."
This was the biggest concession she could make.
But such a choice is undoubtedly a torture for anyone.
The light in Gu Jingchen's eyes quickly went out.
He certainly wanted An An to stay.
But it's not like this.
It was only when he really agreed that the relationship between the two of them reached its end.
That being the case...
So why not set him free?
Her real wish should be to stay away from him, right?
Gu Jingchen felt bitter in his heart, but in an instant, he suddenly decided something.
let it go……
Set her free.
Rather than seeing her being forced to be trapped by his side, it is better to let her do what she wants.
As for him...
Gu Jingchen pursed his lips, his heart aching so much that he was almost numb.
A while——
He finally said, "An An, if you want to go ahead, go ahead."
"What?"
Su An was stunned. He didn't expect that he would let go at this time. He looked a little surprised, and his heart suddenly felt empty.
"I say... go where you want to go, do what you want to do, I won't stop you anymore."
The air was quiet for a moment.
Su An remained silent, as if digesting what he had just said.
After a long while, he nodded gently and murmured, "Okay..."
Having said that, she turned and walked towards her room. Each step was heavy, and she returned to her room just like that.
She closed the door and looked at the familiar place where she had lived for some time, still a little dazed.
Gu Jingchen actually let her go like this?
This wasn't a dream...it was real.
But why wasn't she as happy as she imagined?
Su An took a deep breath, and after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly stood up.
You shouldn't stay here any longer.
Since Gu Jingchen has agreed, she should leave immediately.
Yes, leave now!
Anywhere is fine!
Su An suddenly packed up his things in the room like a clockwork machine, put out a simple box, and called Tang Ze directly to ask him to help send his child downstairs.
Tang Ze didn't understand why.
Su An briefly explained that Gu Jingchen had recovered his memory, and then suggested that since Gu Jingchen had fully recovered, she should leave.
Tang Ze was shocked by the sudden news and immediately called Gu Jingchen to confirm.
Gu Jingchen said nothing, but just ordered him to take good care of Su An and do everything she said.
An hour later—
Su An stood in the living room carrying a box.
Gu Jingchen was still sitting on the sofa in the same posture as when the two of them were talking.
Their eyes met.
Neither of them spoke.
This separation came too suddenly.
We were holding hands and shopping together yesterday, but today...
Su An took a deep breath.
But I also feel that this ending is perfectly normal.
If she hadn't suddenly discovered that Gu Jingchen had recovered his memory, perhaps... their farewell could have been more decent.
Su An opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end. He opened the door and walked out.
Gu Jingchen also spoke.
With a "click" sound, the door closed.
The huge space was as quiet as death, as if he was the only one left in the world.
Everything is...over.
Is it really the end of him and An An?
He didn't know how long he sat there alone, until the night outside the window grew darker, plunging him completely into darkness. Gu Jingchen suddenly stood up and took the phone.
Just when the call was about to be dialed, Tang Ze suddenly called.
"Mr. Gu."
He reported quickly, "I just sent my wife on the plane. She and the young master have booked a ticket to Country H..."
"Um."
Gu Jingchen responded calmly, then said, "Come to the company right now and bring all the important information on my desk. I have something to tell you."
"yes."
Tang Ze immediately agreed and rushed to Gu's as quickly as possible.
In less than half an hour, the person appeared in front of Gu Jingchen with all the information.
"Mr. Gu, what do you want this information for..."
He put the things in his hand on the table in confusion.
Gu Jingchen didn't say anything. He casually flipped through a few pages and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Tang Ze, I want to give you a promotion. What do you think?"
"Promotion?"
Tang Ze stood there in a daze.
A month later——
In the brightly lit president's office, Gu Jingchen finally put down the last piece of information in his hand and rubbed his brows tiredly.
"Boss Gu, the upcoming events have been arranged. The new assistant has been performing well these past few days, so there won't be any major problems."
Tang Ze placed a cup of coffee next to Gu Jingchen, thought for a moment, and continued, "Helping you with work has always been my job. During your absence, I will take care of the rest of your work for you. As for the promotion... you can talk about it after you get your wife back."
Gu Jingchen paused in pinching his brows, and the corners of his lips curled up silently.
Bring An An back?
I hope so.
Over the past month, he has almost finished all the work to be done in the coming year.
What remains is for Tang Ze to proceed step by step with several newly hired assistants.
As for meetings, he can handle them through online video.
The rest of the time...is spent with An An.
Although I have always known that she stayed in Country H, I haven't seen her for a month and I wonder how she is doing?
This time, he wouldn't force her to do anything, nor would he bother her.
I just want to spend more time to look at her more...
See her living the life she wants.
