Gu Yuan then hung up the phone and walked over to her, saying, "A big project at the company has run into trouble. I might have to go to the United States for a few days. You stay home and wait for me to come back."
Fu Hange's heart skipped a beat, then she smiled faintly and said, "Then go ahead."
"Stay here and be careful," he added, still concerned.
Fu Hange responded, and then Gu Yuan picked up the clothes and left.
The door closed gently, completely isolating him.
See? When faced with the choice between his career and her, he always chose his career. He never even glanced at her.
Perhaps she was tired of crying, because this time Fu Hange didn't feel like crying much. Instead, she felt a pang of sadness, with a faint stinging sensation.
The person who just called him should be Bai Xin; judging from her voice, that's correct.
It's ironic. Bai Xin can send him away with just one phone call. What is her status now that she's by his side?
The more Fu Hange thought about it, the more her head ached. She got up, poured herself a glass of water, drank it, and then lay back down in bed. The spacious bed was warm only by her own body heat. She reached out and touched the other side, only to find it icy cold.
Perhaps Xu Yan herself didn't realize that her whole body was ice-cold at this moment, and her heart was also ice-cold to the bottom.

The next day, Fu Hange was completely absent-minded while eating breakfast, and she was lost in thought halfway through her meal.
The housekeeper couldn't help but ask, "Miss Xu, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"
Fu Hange quickly realized what was happening and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things."
"What's up?"
Fu Hange didn't want to say much, but maybe she could get some information from the housekeeper, so she shamelessly asked, "Has Mingheng run into trouble with one of his projects?"
The butler seemed to be searching his memory for something before saying, "It seems there is such a thing."
Fu Hange perked up and asked, "Do you know who accompanied him on his trip to the United States this time?"
The butler frowned, thought carefully for a moment, muttered something to himself, and finally said, "It seems he was with Assistant Shen, but I don't know the specifics."
Fu Hange's heart sank completely. He really did go out with Bai Xin, just as she had expected.
"But why didn't President Gu take you with him this time?" the butler asked again.
Fu Hange said sarcastically, "I'm nobody to him, why should he take me with him?"
If he were to bring anyone, it would be his lover, not her.
Fu Hange continued to eat her rice with her head down, taking small bites at a time.
After eating, she went back to her room and fell into a deep sleep. Everything is fine after a good night's sleep; at least in her dreams, everything is beautiful.
Fu Hange slept until sunset, feeling exhausted and languid. The setting sun streamed in through the window, casting its light on the white checkered sheets, making Fu Hange's face appear as a vague outline against the backdrop of the sunset.
She walked to the window and stuck her face out to breathe some fresh air.
Fu Hange stretched and leaned against the window, looking at the yellowish sky outside. Gu Yuan was no longer in this city, and she wondered how he and Bai Xin were doing now.
——
On the other side, as soon as Gu Yuan got off the plane, Bai Xin was waiting for him outside the airport. As soon as she saw Gu Yuan come out, she immediately hugged him like a monkey.
Gu Yuan impatiently removed Bai Xin's hand and asked, "What exactly went wrong with that project?"
Bai Xin said with a coquettish smile, "Mr. Gu, isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk about business issues so soon after you arrive?"
