"Okay, I understand. You should get some rest. I'll head back now." With that, Lu Dongjue prepared to leave.
Gu Fanyan grabbed his shoulder and said, "Stay with me tonight."
Lu Dongjue smiled gently, took her hand away, and said in a tone that left no room for argument, "Fanyan, you know my principles. I want to take responsibility for you. After we get married, we'll live together."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Gu Fanyan's eyes.
Lu Dongjue patted her on the shoulder, then pushed open the door and left.
Gu Fanyan leaned against the bar, dejected. He seemed to love her very much, but he was too polite to her.
**
Yun Suiwan left the hotel in tears. She walked very fast, but when she came out of the hotel lobby, she tripped and fell to the ground.
"Hmm!" Yun Suiwan groaned.
"Year's end!"
Cheng Shaochen appeared there at some point, and when he saw Yun Suiwan fall, he quickly ran over.
He picked Yun Suiwan up in his arms.
At this moment, Lu Dongjue also appeared in the hotel lobby.
He recognized the girl from earlier at a glance.
She was nestled in a man's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
He couldn't help but recall Gu Fanyan's words.
—She likes to steal other women's men.
A meaningful smile appeared on Lu Dongjue's lips.
"What's wrong with you at the end of the year?" Cheng Shaochen asked worriedly.
Yun Suiwan clung tightly to Cheng Shaochen's clothes, trying to suppress her sobs, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"What happened at the end of the year?" Cheng Shaochen asked hurriedly.
"Take...take me away, my legs are too weak, please take me away quickly!"
Yun Suiwan's voice carried a hint of pleading.
She was already in a sorry state; she didn't want anyone else to see her like that.
"good!"
Cheng Shaochen scooped her up in his arms, and Yun Suiwan nestled against him, her eyes tightly closed, tears streaming silently down her face.
At this moment, Lu Dongjue also came out.
He watched the two of them being so intimate, a faint smile playing on his lips. This young lady was truly remarkable.
**
On the way back, Yun Suiwan kept crying, and Cheng Shaochen knew that what he had feared had still happened.
"Did you see Lu Dongjue?" Cheng Shaochen asked.
Yun Suiwan lowered his head and remained silent.
"I heard he has amnesia, and he returned to China with his fiancée this time."
The word "fiancée" pierced her heart deeply.
"At the end of the year, you and Lu Dongjue..."
"Shaochen, I'm just a little tired. We've broken up." Yun Suiwan didn't want to continue this topic. Every time she thought of him, her heart ached a little more.
"good."
Thank you for tonight.
"Don't mention it. If you need anything from me, just let me know. No matter where I am, I'll be there for you whenever you need me."
Yun Suiwan remained unmoved by Cheng Shaochen's words.
"Shaochen, I'm sorry, I don't have the strength to love anyone anymore."
"I understand, I can wait for you. Don't feel pressured at the end of the year."
This time, Yun Suiwan remained silent.
All she wants now is to go home, back to her own safety, lock herself away, and quietly heal her wounds.
**
After Lu Dongjue returned to China, rumors circulated that he was about to marry his fiancée.
Yun Suiwan received an invitation from the Lu family while she was at the company.
The Lu family specially hosted a welcome banquet for Lu Dongjue.
People from the five major families in City A will all be there.
Yun Suiwan looked at the name on the invitation.
—We cordially invite Miss Yun Suiwan.
Her relationship with Lu Dongjue has become so distant.
Just as Yun Suiwan was staring blankly at the invitation, there was a knock on the office door.
"Please come in."
"President, Mr. Shen Xinghui has arrived."
"Please come in."
Yun Suiwan was not surprised that Shen Xing came back to find her.
As soon as Shen Xinghui entered, Yun Suiwan waved the invitation in her hand and asked, "Is this why you came?"
Shen Xinghui looked troubled.
"Wanwan."
"Go ahead and tell me."
"I heard from Gu Fanyan that you already know about Dong Jue's situation."
"Um."
"Wanwan, Dongjue... Gu Fanyan will also be at the Lu family's house tonight."
Yun Suiwan said with a smile, "Are you here to give me a heads-up? Are you afraid I'll do something outrageous?"
Shen Xinghui hesitated, clearly afraid.
“Xing Hui, I know my limits and I care about my reputation.”
What kind of person do they really see themselves as?
"Wanwan, it's time for you to start your new life. Stop thinking about Dongjue."
"good."
Yun Suiwan did not offer any explanation, after all, she had never truly let go of Lu Dongjue.
After persuading her, Shen Xinghui left.
Yun Suiwan sat in the chair with a sense of loss. Gu Fanyan was also at the Lu family's house tonight, which meant that she would have to watch Lu Dongjue being considerate to another woman all night.
What would that feel like?
**
Yun Suiwan arrived at the Lu family home at eight o'clock in the evening.
By this time, the Lu family's house was already full of guests.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw her third uncle, Yun Jianye, and Yun Manzhu.
Yun Manzhu strode towards her. "Yun Suiwan, I'm warning you, don't cause trouble on this occasion tonight!"
Yun Suiwan looked at Yun Manzhu calmly, "Sister Manzhu, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"I saw it. Lu Dongjue and Gu Fanyan have a very good relationship. You can't break them up, so give up!"
"oh."
After saying that, Yun Suiwan walked straight past her and headed towards the Lu family mansion.
As soon as Yun Suiwan arrived, all eyes fell on her.
Everyone knows about Yun Suiwan and Lu Dongjue's affair.
The way they looked at Yun Suiwan was a mix of worry and amusement.
Yun Suiwan maintained a smile throughout. After entering the house, she went straight to Grandpa Lu and said, "Grandpa Lu, how are you feeling?"
"Good, good, good." Old Master Lu held Yun Suiwan's hand, his eyes filled with unspeakable heartache.
At this moment, Lu Dongjue walked over and said to Yun Suiwan, "So you are Suiwan. Many years have passed in the blink of an eye. You have grown into a beautiful young woman."
Yun Suiwan glanced at Lu Dongjue, then looked away and smiled faintly, "Yes."
"Come on, let's get ready to sit down. Dinner will be served soon."
"good."
Just then, Gu Fanyan walked over and affectionately took Lu Dongjue's arm, saying, "The year is coming."
"Mm." Yun Suiwan nodded.
"Come on, take your seat. Everyone is waiting for you." Gu Fanyan's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
When it was time to eat, Yun Suiwan realized that she was sitting next to Gu Fanyan, and Lu Dongjue was on the other side.
Everyone looked at the seat with different expressions.
Only Lu Dongjue showed no abnormality.
After dinner, Yun Suiwan truly witnessed Lu Dongjue's thoughtfulness.
He lost his memory, and his temperament became much gentler than before.
He would carefully remove fish bones for Gu Fanyan, and when he saw Yun Suiwan looking at him, he would smile and say, "Fanyan likes to eat fish, but she hates picking out the bones the most."
After saying that, he placed a piece of fish he had chosen into Gu Fanyan's bowl.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, eat up."
Lu Dongjue wiped his hands and chatted with the others, not paying attention to the eager look Yun Suiwan gave him.
Gu Fanyan picked up the bowl and said to Yun Suiwan, "Suiwan, eat fish."
Looking at the fish she had chosen, Yun Suiwan felt a bitter taste in her mouth for some reason. She smiled faintly and said, "I don't like eating fish. I hate eating fish more than anything in my life."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Dongjue couldn't help but look at her.
Gu Fanyan looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you didn't like fish."
Yun Suiwan ignored her and went straight to drinking the soup beside her.
Lu Dongjue noticed a subtle change in her expression.
