Section 4

Song Huaicheng remained silent throughout

I will wait a little longer, I believe an answer will come soon. Gu Nian's face revealed an expression of determination to fight to the end

Fang Xuxu held her hand and said, "It's been so long, why haven't you said anything!"

"Proceed slowly, send Haohao back properly." Song Huaicheng's voice was cold, devoid of any warmth

Fang Xuxu looked at the soundly sleeping Gu Nian Nian and gently covered her with a blanket. Unlike Gu Nian Nian, she had endured three years of waiting and torment before finally experiencing a turning point with that person

Song Huaicheng did not return to the master bedroom for the first time after marriage

Now

Fang Xuxu took a deep breath, her anger surging to the top of her head, and she stood up directly, "What did you say?!" She could hardly believe her ears

Fang Xuxu squinted at them and said, "Gu Nian is not feeling well. I am worried about her being home alone, so I stayed. Song Huaicheng, Gu Nian's health has been poor for the past six months. She has fainted several times at the gallery, do you know that?"

Xu Xing closed his eyes and thought to himself that it was truly a mistake to come up here today to sit.

Gu Nian's choice is one that Fang Xuxu cannot agree with; she knows that she cannot influence Gu Nian's decision at all

The next morning, when Gu Nian woke up, Song Huaicheng was already in the dining room. On the table were soup dumplings and soy milk, from the shop she often visited

Zhou Haohai handed the water to Song Huaicheng, saying, "You should drink some water first"

The room fell into silence

Song Huaicheng drank quite a bit tonight, his mind clouded, yet he still heard Fang Xuxu's words clearly. "What happened to her?"

Gu Nian sniffed, "I don't even know what to say! Xu Xu, I feel like all of this is just a dream. He is Song Huaicheng, not someone else; he is the person I have loved for six years"

Gu Nian felt a soreness in her eyes, "It was only when I saw Lu Yesheng that I realized." Over the past two years, she had never thought to get an examination, and it was only after this check that she discovered the severity of the problem

Fang Xuxu walked to the entrance and changed into her high heels. She was already tall, and now with the high heels, she was on par with the two men. After putting on her over-the-knee coat, she stood there and said coldly, "Miss Zhou, it's good to know friends, but remember that there is only a single character difference between a friend and a boyfriend."

Gu Nian clutched her chest, her breath stilled, with only their breathing sounds in her ears

Fang Xuxu let out a sneer, her face openly displaying sarcasm, "I have the distinct impression that you are the mistress of this house." She flicked her long hair, "Song Huaicheng, you might as well drink some water; it helps one to stay alert."

What about in the future

Do you still want to drink water? Zhou Haohao's voice is still so pleasant to hear

Gu Nian felt completely frozen in place, and her hands and feet, which had just been warm, suddenly turned icy cold

Song Huaicheng drank a large cup of water, playing with the cup, remaining silent. Xu Xing sat beside him

The scene gradually became blurred before her eyes, and she said mechanically, "I didn't know that you and Haohao were together—I'm really foolish!" Her words were somewhat helpless, and her black eyes were as still as a stagnant pool. "Am I the interloper?" she murmured, not even knowing whom she was asking.

No need for that. It is better for me to maintain a distance from a man who is neither a relative nor a friend. Fang Xuxu said with a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown. "Song Huaicheng, goodbye"

Zhou Haohao furrowed her brows and said, "Miss Fang, there is no need for you to speak with such sharpness. I have been friends with Huai Cheng for many years, and there is no need for your words between us"

The sound of a door closing came from the living room. Fang Xuxu glanced at the time, which was 3:26. She got up and left the bedroom

"Alright, let's go." Xu Xing stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Haohao's arm. "Let's go, no more talking, it's all in the past."

Zhou Haohao looked at Gu Nian, his gaze not particularly friendly

Gu Nian was about to step outside, but she paused. She recalled Fang Xuxu's words

Zhou Haohai lowered her head, her voice buzzing, "When will I always be pointed at when I'm with you?" She smiled coolly. "She—Gu Nian, is the real interloper!"

"I have been unable to conceive for the past two years because he has been giving me medication all along." Gu Nian's voice was devoid of any emotion. This matter had weighed heavily on her heart for the past few months, and she had never imagined that one day she would be able to speak of it so calmly.

Zhou Haohai waved his hand and said, "You always do this! When I went abroad, it was only for two years, and you didn't give me anything. After so many years of our relationship, can it not compare to your four years of relentless pursuit? Tell me, what do you really love about her?"

Gu Nian's heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sword, and she finally stepped forward, moving from the dark corner to the center of the light. Her gaze slowly swept across the faces of the three people.

In fact, Gu Nian had also woken up at that time. As Fang Xuxu left the room, a thought surged in her mind: he had returned. She slipped on her slippers and walked out, seeing both him and her, and then stood in the dark corner.

Zhou Haohao suddenly could not hold back her tears, her cries filled with sorrow, "It's over? Who said it's over? Huai Cheng, I don't understand, what is so good about her?"

No need. "Song Huaicheng raised his head, "You should all head back early."

Song Huaicheng's heavy, thin lips moved slightly, "You are now my wife"

"Xuxu, it's alright, she is my friend." Song Huaicheng furrowed his brows, "Xuhang, could you help me take Xuxu for a while"

Gu Nian merely looked at Song Huaicheng, his features clear and distant, his complexion slightly pale, which was how he appeared after drinking. "I am very sorry, I did not mean to overhear your conversation," she said with a gentle smile. "Knowing that you were back, I came out to take a look."

"You don't know? She is your wife, how could you not know?" She is clearly trying to provoke.

She told herself not to overthink, but she couldn't help but think more and more.

Xu Xing let out a low exclamation, "Damn! What a situation!" When Fang Xuxu suddenly appeared in the living room, the people inside were taken aback

Love is a poison, with no antidote. Once a determined woman is infected, even if she is battered and bruised, she will not easily walk away.

She frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable for some reason. "Song Huaicheng, you are back," she suddenly spoke, slowly emerging from the dark corner.

Fang Xuxu heard the voices coming from the room

Is there really such a foolish woman as you? Fang Xuxu could no longer bear to speak of her.

"I will go pour you a glass of water," said a woman's voice, followed by the sound of high heels.

What are you planning to do?" Fang Xuxu asked through clenched teeth

A sleepless night

Gu Nian smiled and said, "I am tired, I want to rest. You may do as you please."
