After saying that, he gave Gu Yuan a lewd smile, which made Bai Xin shudder.
Gu Yuan seemed not to care about him at all, and even laughed: "What you said makes sense, but our contract states that if we breach the contract before the deadline, we have to pay double the penalty."
Mr. Liao waved his hand: "I will naturally pay you the penalty for breach of contract, you don't need to worry about that."
After saying that, he looked at Bai Xin and said, "Is this your girlfriend? She's pretty!"
Bai Xin was so frightened that her hair stood on end, fearing that President Liao would do something to her.
Gu Yuan sat there and chuckled softly, then downed the wine in his glass in one gulp and slammed the glass down on the table.
He then straightened his clothes and stood up: "Then I hope to see Mr. Liao's breach of contract penalty as soon as possible."
After saying that, he grabbed Bai Xin's hand and walked out.
Only after running quite a distance did Bai Xin finally manage to break free, asking, "Where are you taking me?"
Gu Yuan replied calmly, "I just want to take you back to the hotel. What are you thinking?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xin felt embarrassed, realizing that she had inexplicably thrown a small tantrum at Gu Yuan.
She pursed her lips and said, "Shall we go back now?"
"Otherwise, where else do you want to go?" He glanced at her indifferently.
Bai Xin then asked, "If this collaboration falls through today, will it have a significant impact on Mingheng?"
Gu Yuan paused, looked into the distance, and said nothing more.
In fact, it's not just a big problem; he might even face cash flow difficulties for half a year. But it's okay. He believes he can bring Mingheng back to life because that woman will give him motivation. Because of her, he wants to give her the best of everything.

In the blink of an eye, they were back at the hotel where they had just stayed. Gu Yuan didn't rush upstairs; instead, he booked a new room for Bai Xin downstairs.
He slowly walked over, tossed the room key into her hand, and walked forward alone.
Bai Xin knew what he meant and quickly followed up to ask, "Mr. Gu, when are you leaving?"
Gu Yuan suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her directly: "Tomorrow."
After saying this, Gu Yuan continued walking forward, leaving Bai Xin with a lonely silhouette.
She knew that once he left, his last bit of tenderness would no longer belong to her.
When Bai Xin knocked on Gu Yuan's door again the next day, there was no response. The answer was obvious: he had abandoned her.
——
Fu Hange boarded a plane and returned to China the day she saw that scene. She was afraid that if she continued to watch, she would see something even worse, and that her heart would be shattered without mercy.
On the plane, she was just as absent-minded as she had been on the way there. Her hands unconsciously tightened around the hem of her clothes, her eyes stared blankly ahead, lost in thought. Her lips were as white as snow, cracked from dryness.
There was still a fine sheen of sweat on her forehead, whether from the lingering memory of seeing Gu Yuan or something else, it was hard to tell.
As soon as she got off the plane, she lost her sense of direction again and didn't know where to go.
Gu Yuan's family? But he loves Bai Xin, so what's the point of her moving in again?
She told herself a thousand times to let go, but how many times did she actually do it? Every time, she would get angry and then move on, and then she would still talk to him as usual.
Perhaps she's just that pathetic; even knowing it's impossible, she still clings to a sliver of hope despite being battered and bruised.
Fu Hange wandered aimlessly down the street, looking completely lost, her lips pale. You'd think she was a patient who had escaped from the hospital.
