Wen Yi was driving too fast and was distracted, and almost caused several car accidents. Fortunately, the other drivers reacted quickly, but Wen Yi received a lot of curses along the way.
When the car was still three or four kilometers away from Jinlu Gate, Wen Yi parked the car on the side of the road and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
She knew she couldn't rush things; if she continued, a car accident was inevitable sooner or later.
She was indifferent to life and death; what she feared was that she would destroy herself before the Wen family collapsed, at which point she wouldn't even have the face to face her maternal grandparents.
She must take care of herself until things are done.
Wen took a deep breath to calm himself down, and only after he had calmed down did he start the car and head to Jinlumen.
Upon arrival, she handed the car over to the staff outside Jinlu Gate and hurried toward the elevator. Knowing that she would be facing Master Gu, Wen Yi knew she had to adjust her emotional state.
Being impulsive with emotions will prevent you from doing things well.
Standing in the elevator, Wen Yi closed her eyes and took deep breaths.
The elevator numbers went up floor by floor. After Gu Huaixu's accident, Wen Yi avoided the top floor like the plague, not even daring to step onto the edge.
But I never imagined I would reach the top floor in this way.
I don't know whether to call it laughable or absurd.
Even more absurdly, Wen Yi actually wondered if Gu Huaixu was watching.
If Gu Huaixu really died in that car accident, then will his soul still exist?
If Gu Huaixu's death in that car accident was a hoax, would he be watching her current absurdity from the shadows right now?
He'll hate her, won't he?
Wen Yi herself didn't think there was anything about her that Gu Huaixu could like, and now she felt even worse about herself.
As the elevator doors stopped ascending, they slowly opened. Wen Yi looked at the familiar corridor and the door in front of her, and many images uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.
The first time she was drunk, she was in the elevator with Gu Huaixu, kissing passionately and almost being carried to the top floor of Jinlumen.
The second time, she took a resolute attitude, intending to break off completely with Gu Huaixu, but she became even more entangled with him.
The third time, the fourth time...
Wen Yi felt increasingly suffocated, her heart was clenched, and every step she took toward the door was excruciating.
But today, she must endure this pain and face everything she has never dared to face before.
Wen closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and felt the pain as she headed towards the room.
My hand was trembling when I raised it.
Because the door was shaking so violently, Wen Yi tried to open it several times but couldn't.
Until the door was opened from the inside.
Wen Yi almost lost her balance. When she looked up, there was a fleeting look of expectation in her eyes, but it was only for a moment, less than a second.
The moment she saw the masked man in front of her, her heart sank.
She's still indulging in wishful thinking.
To still be delusional and think that you can see Gu Huaixu as soon as you open the door is simply wishful thinking.
Wen Yi quickly closed her eyes, trying to hold back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, Wen Yi reached out and wiped away the tears clinging to the corners of her eyes, facing the masked man once more.
"What do you want to do?" His voice was hoarse as he spoke.
Gu Huaixu looked at Wen Yi in silence.
There was surveillance in the room. From the moment the elevator doors opened, all of Wen Yi's emotions were recorded and clearly seen by Gu Huaixu.
Her pain, her struggle.
This caused Gu Huaixu's guilt, which had just begun to subside, to surge up again.
He seemed to realize that the consequences of dragging the innocent Wen Yi into this situation were more serious than he had imagined.
"Come in." Gu Huaixu was somewhat annoyed and impatiently loosened his tie as he walked into the room.
He slumped onto the sofa, his long legs casually stretched out.
Wen Yi stood at the door, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally stepped into the room.
A familiar scent wafted towards him, almost causing Wen Yi to break down.
Gu Huaixu once said that a person's memory of an event is not only ingrained in the brain, but also in its taste. Taste, in fact, is more solid and impactful than the brain's memory.
It has now been proven that the power of taste to create lasting memories is very strong.
As Wen Yi walked towards Gu Huaixu, she felt as if there were countless nails under her feet. Every step she took was painful, bloody, and excruciating.
In this room, there are her happiest memories of Gu Huaixu, as well as memories of arguments and Wen Yi's struggles.
Suppressing her breakdown, Wen Yi stood beside Master Gu and questioned, "So, what exactly do you want to do?"
"You're very fierce." Gu Huaixu frowned, adopting a critical stance towards Wen Yi's attitude.
"I'm asking you, what are you planning to do with this place, buying it out of the blue?"
In the end, Wen Yi's emotions broke down a bit, and her last question was even choked up, but she quickly closed her eyes and composed herself.
When she opened her eyes again, she apologized, "I'm sorry, I've been on my period lately and I'm not in a good mood."
'Pfft'
Master Gu found Wen Yi's reason quite interesting.
Wen Yi said calmly, "I'm just very curious why Second Master Gu would buy this top-floor room for no reason."
“A base is under construction one kilometer from the Golden Deer Gate,” Gu Huaixu said slowly. “It will be completed in about three months and will be used as a filming location for the movie ‘Sword and Qin’.”
Wen Yi frowned, staring at Gu Huaixu.
She had only recently received news of the film version of "Sword and Qin," and with the preconceived notion that Lin Manqing would be the female lead, Wen Yi hadn't had time to learn more about many things in detail.
“You’re just an investor in Golden Deer Gate; you don’t need to go to the filming location so often.” Wen Yi thought for a long time before realizing the connection between the two.
“But you’re the director of the film, so you need to be there every day.” Master Gu stared at Wen Yi and said, “Other actors can be absent when they don’t have scenes, but you’re the director. You need to be there for every scene. Afterwards, you’ll need to hold meetings, revise the script, adjust the actors, and so on. You’ll spend a lot of time on set.”
"So you mean you bought this place for me?" Wen Yi asked incredulously.
Gu Huaixu nodded, "I don't want my wife to suffer like this."
"No need. Master Gu has already arranged for someone to cancel the room. Just return the room to the previous person as before. There's no need for such trouble. I don't need it. I can stay at the film set from now on."
Wen Yi finished speaking in one breath and then prepared to leave.
However, Wen Yi had only taken one step when she heard a loud thud behind her as a table was overturned. Wen Yi turned around sharply and saw a masked man ruthlessly kicking over the table in front of him.
He got up, then grabbed a nearby ornament and threw it on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Wen Yi questioned.
His emotions, which had just calmed down, surged again, and he began to lose control and go berserk.
Standing there, Master Gu turned back to look at Wen Yi, chuckled, and said something...
