"Why is it called that?" another assistant asked.
“Two hearts, one lifetime, representing two people being together for a lifetime,” the assistant replied.
Gu Fanyan's face gradually turned pale.
"This must have been sent by Mr. Murong."
"The dress is also light pink, and paired with this set of jewelry, it's absolutely perfect."
The two chattered for a while before remembering to turn to Gu Fanyan for her opinion.
But Gu Fanyan said calmly, "All the details have been finalized; let's not change them casually."
She had her assistant put the jewelry away, then left the villa with the jewelry box.
"Where is the young lady going?" the assistant asked, puzzled.
Didn't we say we'd stay here until the day after tomorrow and go directly to the wedding?
"This set of jewelry is a bit strange. When the young lady saw it, her expression changed," another assistant said.
"Huh? Isn't this what Mr. Murong asked us to send over?"
The two assistants looked at each other in bewilderment.
Gu Fanyan arrived at a hotel and booked a room.
The hotel manager came over immediately, smiling, and asked, "Miss Gu, what brings you here today? Isn't the engagement ceremony the day after tomorrow?"
That's right, Gu Fanyan and Murong Mo's engagement ceremony will be held at this hotel.
"I think your hotel has a nice environment, so I came to check it out beforehand," Gu Fanyan replied calmly.
"It's our honor." The manager personally escorted Gu Fanyan to her room.
Gu Fanyan put the jewelry box away, then went outside and walked around the hotel's back garden two or three times. After returning, she took a shower and then went to the hotel restaurant for dinner...
They lived their lives in an orderly manner, following their usual routines.
At nine o'clock in the evening, she finished the work that had accumulated over the past two days, and then went to the bar on the top floor of the hotel and ordered a cocktail.
This bar is only open to hotel guests, and the atmosphere is very quiet and peaceful.
Perfect for a small drink before bed.
Gu Fanyan sat at the bar, her striking beauty attracting several men to come up and chat with her.
She just smiled and said she was waiting for someone.
The men had no choice but to leave with regret.
"When did you start liking to drink?" Finally, the person she was waiting for arrived.
She didn't need to turn her head; she could tell it was Lin Zhibai just by his voice.
Lin Zhibai reached out to take her wine glass, but she moved it aside first.
It's obvious that they don't want him to interfere in their affairs.
"You've gone to great lengths to find out where I am, so just say what you need," Gu Fanyan said bluntly.
"Do you like the jewelry?" he asked.
"I've already ordered a courier to deliver the jewelry to your company," she replied calmly.
Lin Zhibai paused, clenched his fist on the bar, and then relaxed it.
"...Why did you leave the country without saying goodbye back then?" he asked.
Gu Fanyan was slightly lost in thought before saying, "Was there any need for us to say goodbye back then...? Why bring this up all of a sudden?"
"The past is dead and can never be brought back."
“But I’ve never forgotten!” He grasped her hand, his handsome face close to her cheek. “You haven’t forgotten either, have you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have rejected me so firmly!”
Gu Fanyan looked at him, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion, unable to understand his meaning for a moment.
However, her delicate appearance stirred up a storm in Lin Zhibai's heart.
Suddenly he reached out and pulled her into his arms without saying a word.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." he murmured guiltily.
Gu Fanyan was startled, realizing what was happening. She hurriedly pushed him away and ran out.
Lin Zhibai caught up with her in the corridor, grabbed her slender arm, and pulled her in front of him.
She was already in tears.
He pierced the deepest scar in her heart.
"Don't cry..." His heart ached terribly as he cupped her face in his hands. "It's all my fault..."
She resisted him, pushing him away, "Don't say it again, never say it again. We're over, we were over a long time ago..."
He still pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. "No way, I won't let you leave me again. Never."
She tried to break free, but he held her even tighter.
In the end, all she could do was grab his shoulder and bite hard, tightly, until she tasted a hint of blood in her mouth... but he still refused to let go.
"Lin Zhibai, please let me go," she said through tears, too exhausted to argue with him any longer.
Lin Zhibai bent down, picked her up, and walked forward.
...
"What? You sold that necklace too? That was our last pension!"
"What are you yelling about? Now that our daughter is settled, isn't that more important than anything else?"
Li Xiaoyun and her husband came to the apartment today to help Yun Wanqing pack and prepare for her move to a new apartment.
But when Yun's father learned that Li Xiaoyun had sold her most valuable necklace, he became uneasy.
Yun Wanqing, who was scrolling through her phone in the living room, pouted in displeasure upon hearing this.
Normally, she would have questioned Yun's father, asking why Yun Suiwan, who was her sister, enjoyed endless wealth and luxury.
Ultimately, isn't it just that Yun's father and Li Xiaoyun are incompetent?
How dare you say that about her?
However, Yun Wanqing didn't have time to talk about this with them today.
She and Lin Zhibai agreed to pay the money in three days, and his people should be arriving today.
Yun Wanqing didn't want Li Xiaoyun to know that she was about to make a large sum of money, so she got up, slammed the door, and left.
She planned to go and greet Lin Zhibai's people.
The door slammed shut, and Li Xiaoyun was startled. She then complained to her father, "Look at you, you've upset Qingqing again! You're a father now, and you don't care about your child at all!"
Yun's father retorted defiantly, "You seem to care about the child, but your daughter doesn't even recognize you anymore."
Li Xiaoyun was speechless for a moment, then cursed, "Yun Suiwan is a wolf cub, I haven't recognized her for a long time."
Yun's father scoffed, "I wasn't talking about Wanwan."
Li Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment before realizing he was referring to Yun Wanqing, and became even angrier: "Tell me, why doesn't Qingqing recognize me anymore?"
"You've even given her your savings for your funeral, do you think she'll treat you well?" Yun's father said. "If you didn't have much money, would she have come back to you? Now you're broke, so just wait for her to cut ties with you!"
"You..." Li Xiaoyun was so angry that she couldn't speak. "Qingqing was also raised by you, how could you say such a thing about her!"
"No wonder Qingqing always says we don't love her. It turns out you never treated her like your own daughter!"
Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed across Yun's father's face.
But Li Xiaoyun kept her face down and didn't notice.
Yun's father stood up: "I'm not going to argue with you. You won't get any money out of me by arguing."
After saying that, he left.
Li Xiaoyun was angry for a while, but gradually calmed down, and her mind was filled with her father's words.
You're broke now, so just wait for her to sever her mother-daughter relationship with you!
A question suddenly popped into her mind: Could her Qingqing really do something like that?
