She felt like she was having a brain fart, and all sorts of good and bad thoughts were coming together in this moment.
A smile crept onto Fu Hange's lips, one she couldn't suppress, or perhaps she didn't even notice it herself. Gu Yuan caught up with her from behind, tossed the festive red booklet onto Fu Hange's shoulders, and left without a word.
Fu Hange stared blankly at the two red booklets, her mind a complete mess. Gu Yuan just left her like that? He left without even looking back? She knew he wouldn't treat her well, yet he just rushed through the formalities and left?
Fu Hange let out a sarcastic laugh, her hands gripping the two red booklets tightening abruptly, her face turning extremely pale. Her lips were chapped and bleeding, the taste lingering between her teeth, but she remained unmoved, stumbling and falling down the street in a disheveled state.
The man's face kept flashing through her mind, and she kept asking herself, "Do I regret it?" The answer was no. She didn't know if what she did was right, binding them together through marriage. But she had no other choice; this was the only path she could take.
She sighed and went to the Xu family's office, but when she reached the door, she didn't dare go in, afraid to tell them such terrible news. Liu Yunqi had been playing around for who knows how long; she had barely worked since returning to China, and in the past few months she had been frantically going to the Xu family's office—her purpose was obvious.
Jiang Xiaoling remained as quiet as ever, like her name, speaking silently like a wind chime, never meddling in other people's business. Xu Yi was still as irresponsible as before, spending his days fooling around outside, and the company had now been completely handed over to Jiang Xiaoling. It seemed that there were some unspoken secrets between the three of them.
Fu Hange stood outside for a while. The wind blew by, making her feel relaxed and happy. She closed her eyes and immersed herself in her own world, filled with joyful sounds. To her, it felt like another world. After a long time, she finally left.
Miraculously, she realized she had been walking around aimlessly all day, without even eating lunch, and it was already 5 p.m. Remembering how Gu Yuan had abandoned her this morning, she still felt a pang of sympathy. Her feet moved uncontrollably to Mingheng's door, then she hesitated, wondering whether to go in.
Finally making up her mind, she went straight to Gu Yuan's office. Everything was the same as before; Bai Xin was working at her desk, and Gu Yuan was focused on the documents. Fu Hange was wearing flat shoes, and she walked in without making a sound, so much so that Gu Yuan didn't notice her until she was right in front of him.
Gu Yuan put down his work, rubbed his temples, and asked wearily, "What are you doing here?"
Fu Hange sneered: "I've come to invite you home, is that alright?"
At this moment, Bai Xin walked over and pulled Fu Hange away from Gu Yuan. "Who do you think you are? Why should President Gu listen to you? And what do you mean by going home? We're at the company now, please be mindful of your status."
She didn't mention that Fu Hange had forgotten something. With a cold smile, she took out two red booklets from her bag, slammed them on the desk with a "bang," and said sarcastically to Bai Xin, "I'm just too concerned about my status, which is why I came to invite my husband home."
Bai Xin's expression was incredibly satisfying; her eyebrows were practically pointing to the sky with anger, her lips twitching, yet she couldn't utter a word. She pointed at Fu Hange with her index finger, then looked at Gu Yuan with despair, tears welling up in her eyes, threatening to spill over at any moment.
Gu Yuan sat there without offering a single explanation, his face grim. Fu Hange hated this expression of his; he treated everyone the same way, and he was just as heartless towards her.
