After leaving the Wen family, Wen Yi went to the filming location of the movie "Sword and Qin". Because of the strong financial investment from Yutingyuan, both money and manpower were in place, so the filming location was built very quickly and would be completed soon. After the final trimming, filming could officially begin.
After finishing her work, Wen Yi was originally going to go straight back to Yutingyuan, but when she passed by Jinlumen, she stopped and took the elevator to the top floor.
As Wen Yi stared at the elevator numbers going up floor by floor, memories of her past with Gu Huaixu uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.
Their meeting was sudden, and their time together was very short. Even if they could recall it, the memories would be limited, and there wouldn't be much to remember.
As the elevator reached the top floor, Wen Yi lowered her eyes and sighed. When she looked up casually, she was completely dumbfounded.
She stared in astonishment at the man outside the elevator.
That was the face that haunted Wen Yi's dreams, the only face that caused her heart-wrenching pain every time she thought of it in the dead of night.
“Ah Xu…”
Wen Yi blurted it out almost immediately.
Just then, the elevator doors suddenly closed. Wen Yi frantically pressed the elevator buttons, but to no avail, and the elevator continued to descend.
It didn't stop until the 10th floor, and Wen Yi pressed it back again.
But when she returned to the top floor, Gu Huaixu was nowhere to be seen. Wen Yi searched around and even went to the room to look for any trace of Gu Huaixu's presence.
None of them worked.
There was nothing there.
So much so that Wen Yi felt as if she were dreaming, and that she was in a daze.
But this only lasted for a moment. Wen Yi immediately asked the people at Jinlumen for the surveillance footage, but the staff strictly controlled the privacy of the guests, especially those on the top floor, and absolutely refused to disclose it. Wen Yi went directly to Master Gu.
But after all that fuss, the surveillance camera was broken, and even if it was pulled up, nothing could be seen.
After the farce ended, Wen Yi left Jinlu Gate and sat on the flowerbed outside, silently watching the cars and people coming and going.
I found it utterly ridiculous.
My own behavior was ridiculous, everything that just happened was ridiculous.
Just then, Master Gu called, "If you insist on monitoring, I can have someone arrange for surveillance from other directions. The view might not be as clear then, but..."
"No need," Wen Yi refused.
"Weren't you in a hurry just now?" Master Gu asked curiously.
"I was a little crazy just now, sorry." Wen Yi smiled wryly, looking up at the street. "Now that the wind has blown, I've sobered up."
She already knew that Gu Huaixu was not dead, but he refused to see her. She also knew that after Gu Huaixu released the news of his fake death, he severed all ties with her.
How could she possibly hope to see him again?
That's ridiculous.
"Are you at Golden Deer Gate now? I'll come pick you up."
"No... okay, I'll wait for you."
Wen Yi initially wanted to refuse, but ultimately agreed.
At that moment, she forced herself to make a decision.
Master Gu arrived by car twenty minutes later, still wearing a mask, and parked his car not far from where Wen Yi was sitting.
He slowly approached Wen Yi and sat down next to her.
Wen glanced at him and suddenly smiled.
Master Gu didn't rush to say anything, he just sat there quietly.
The two remained silent for about seven or eight minutes before Wen Yi finally spoke, "Second Master Gu, have you ever thought about divorcing me?"
Master Gu frowned. "No."
Wen looked at him and asked, "Are you sure?"
He didn't rush to respond to Wen Yi, but instead reached out and grabbed her hand. "Can't a couple who work together last a lifetime?"
Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat.
There was a white moonlight in her heart, but that light was completely extinguished just now. Wen Yi returned to reality and realized that there was no longer any possibility between her and her white moonlight.
Wen smiled and said, "Then we agree to live a good life together and support each other. But there should be no betrayal or emotional abuse. If one day you feel that there is someone more suitable than me, or if you don't want to maintain this marriage, please let me know in advance. I am not a clingy person."
"Furthermore, if I don't want to maintain the relationship, I will also tell you to handle it rationally, rather than taking extreme actions such as disappearing."
Gu Huaixu listened attentively to Wen Yi's words. Although she did not express it explicitly, he could still sense that all of Wen Yi's words were aimed at his faked death.
Gu Huaixu gripped Wen Yi's hand tightly. "Okay."
"Words are no proof. Let's get a lawyer to sign an agreement later."
"Can."
"You agree?" Wen Yi was quite shocked; she thought the request would be rejected.
“Even as a married couple, you are still the second wife of the Imperial Garden, and your requests must be met. This is a husband’s basic respect for his wife.”
"Thank you for your respect."
"You're welcome," Gu Huaixu replied.
Wen looked at him, then suddenly laughed, shifting her gaze elsewhere to silently watch the world in the distance.
"What does the Wen family need me to do?" Gu Huaixu suddenly asked.
Wen Yi glanced at him, and it was amazing how there was always an unspoken understanding between her and her husband.
"It's nothing, I just hope Wen Ge's drama airs well; then the marketing will be everywhere. Oh, and from what I heard today, Young Master Gu seems to be planning to invest in Wen Muqianzhou's project..."
“Since Gu Zeyu thinks this project is good, then let him invest. His mother is a problem, but I believe that Madam Gu can’t stop Gu Zeyu from doing what he’s determined to do,” Second Master Gu continued, picking up where Wen Yi left off.
The couple looked into each other's eyes, understanding each other without words.
...
The next day.
Media reports indicate that Gu Zeyu has invested in Wen Muqianzhou's project, officially launching research. This project involves a huge sum of money, and coupled with Wen Muqianzhou's reputation as a rising star in international research, it has attracted significant attention both within and outside the industry.
On the same day that Wen Muqianzhou and Gu Zeyu collaborated, Wen Ge and Gu Zeyu attended the event together and were photographed. Some media outlets even made a big deal out of it, pointing out that the two were about to get married.
The Wen family suddenly became very popular, with many banquets in Haicheng sending them invitations, keeping the Wen family and Wen Ge busy with preparations.
Wen Ge's constant banquets led to problems on the film set.
Wen Yi was checking the final preparations with her team before filming began when Director Tan Ke, having finished his work, sat down and, before even finishing his cup of tea, began complaining about Wen Ge for ten minutes.
"The drama is in its final stages, and she has several key scenes left to film. What is she trying to do? She keeps saying she has to take leave or that she has other commitments. She hasn't come to film for a week. Does she even want to work?"
The director became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and frequently slammed his fist on the table.
