Yifeng Street was a well-known luxurious residential area.
In front of a gorgeous European classical villa, a black Audi Q7 slowly drove into the courtyard and stopped.
“Welcome back, Mr. Wen.” The butler, Xu Shu, respectfully greeted him and took the car key.
“Yeah.” Wen Niannan took off his jacket and rubbed his neck, then walked into the house. He paused and asked as he thought of something
“Is he back?”
The butler replied after a moment of stunned silence, “Yes. The young master came back at noon. He drove the plane overnight and is currently resting in the study room.”
Wen Niannan hurried to the second floor after hearing the reply he wanted. He hadn’t seen Gu Yansheng for a week, yet he didn’t show the fact that he missed him on his face.
After stopping at the entrance of the study room, Wen Niannan raised his hand to knock on the door. He suddenly thought of something and slowly lowered his hand. But then clenched his hands and knocked on the door lightly.
“Yansheng.”
Wen Niannan did not get a reply.
“Yansheng, can I come in?” There was still no response from the room.
Wen Niannan gently opened the door and walked in. What caught his eye was the sleepy face of the person he loved leaning on the sofa.
Wen Niannan walked lightly and squatted down. He stared at the man’s delicate and handsome face for a long time, stretched out his hand to smooth his brows, and muttered, “When will you care about me…”
Wen Niannan walked to the window and closed it. By the window, he picked up the documents scattered on the ground and looked up at the picture frame on the table.
In the photo were two teenagers sitting in front of the piano, both of them looked at the camera with dazzling smiles.
Wen Niannan showed a bitter smile. He naturally recognized these two people, one was his husband who he has been married to for three years, Gu Yansheng, and also the head of the Gu family. The other was the person his husband actually loved…
“Who allowed you to come in?” A voice full of magnetism sounded.
Hearing a familiar voice, Wen Niannan hurriedly turned around and tried to put the photo frame in his hand back to its original place. But because he was very nervous, he didn’t place the frame back properly and it fell to the ground with a snap.
“I…I didn’t…I just didn’t hold it steady, I didn’t mean it.” Wen Niannan hurriedly turned around to apologize and knelt down to pick up the broken frame.
Gu Yansheng stepped forward and pushed Wen Niannan away. He quickly picked up the photos and checked them. After confirming that the photo inside was still alright, he felt relieved.
Wen Niannan was pushed back and staggered a few steps, and looked at the picture in Gu Yansheng’s hand like a baby. He felt that it was ironic, but was envious of it as well.
Slap!
A loud slap in the face sounded from inside the study room.
Wen Niannan’s face was slapped to one side. He was taken aback for a moment, and when he reacted, he slowly turned his face to look at Gu Yansheng, who looked sullen and angry at him.
Gu Yansheng grabbed his collar and screamed, “What right do you think you have to come in here? Who allowed you to touch my things? Do you hate him that much? Even if all of his traces in this house are gone, I won’t like you one bit!” Gu Yansheng felt that the man in front of him was extremely hypocritical. The lover Gu Yansheng had been in love with for many years disappeared after a sudden break-up and there was no news of him after that. He used wine to mourn every day, but he didn’t know what Wen Niannan used to make his mother force him to marry him.
Seeing this person start to tremble again from his touch, Gu Yansheng became even angrier.
“If it weren’t for my mother, do you think I would come home to see your hypocritical face? I feel sick looking at your stiff face.” After that, he let go of his hand with disgust.
“I just wanted to see you, you’ve been away for a business trip for a week… I just missed you so much,” said Wen Niannan with a hard smile.
“Get out of here! Don’t let me see you again!”
Bang!
Wen Niannan turned his back to the closed door and looked down at his bleeding hand that was cut by the glass. His heart felt very bitter.
To Be Continued......
Sitting weakly on the ground, Wen Niannan hugged his trembling body, letting the blood faint on his shirt.
The butler, Uncle Xu, wanted to come and help him, but Wen Niannan stepped back. “Don’t come… Don’t… I’ll calm down for a while.”
Uncle Xu pulled his hand back and looked at the person sitting on the floor worriedly. “Mr. Wen, we need to bandage your hand.”
Wen Niannan raised his head, and with a tired look on his face, he said, “I’m fine. I’ll go back to my own room. Can you ask Aunt Lan to prepare dinner? I’ll go lie down for a bit.”
He walked quickly across the room and hurriedly turned on all the lights as Wen Niannan’s trembling body gradually relaxed down. He was afraid of touching and afraid of the darkness due to the trauma of his early years. He had been working hard to overcome his fear, but he made a stress response when Gu Yansheng touched him.
In the past few years, he has been carefully maintaining this marriage, and had felt that he had reached the limit, but still can’t reach his heart.
In fact, it should have been understood long ago. Wen Niannan had long known that he would always act humble in front of Gu Yansheng. Even when Gu Yansheng poured a glass of wine on his head in front of everyone at their wedding, he just smiled in embarrassment and said that he was only drunk.
The red wine flowed down the white suit and fainted. Wen Niannan could feel the mocking eyes of the people around him. Outsiders felt that his ordinary family and they were not in the same world at all. But for him to become the president’s husband, the president of the Gu Family Cooperation, who was able to climb the power of the industry. They thought that Wen Niannan must’ve used shameless methods.
After seeing Gu Yansheng’s attitude towards him, the people around were even more sure that their guess wasn’t merely a guess and pointed fingers at him.
Of course, he knew that Gu Yansheng had deliberately made him look like a loser in front of everyone so that he couldn’t raise his head in the future. He replaced the position that should belong to Shen Luoan.
When Wen Niannan woke up, it was already dark out. When he came down from the upper floor, he saw Gu Yansheng sitting in the dining room. His movements were elegant and charming, just like the first time he had met him at the birthday party.
When Aunt Lan saw Wen Niannan coming down, she stepped forward and shouted, “Mr. Wen.”
“Yeah.”
Wen Niannan pulled the chair next to Gu Yansheng and sat down for the meal. The two of them ate the food on their own plates in silence.
There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air. Gu Yansheng frowned when he smelled it and glanced up at the person who was currently picking up some coriander. There were still obvious palm prints on his face and the bandage attracted his attention.
That wound… was from the photo…
Gu Yansheng knew that Wen Niannan paid much attention to his appearance, and was afraid of leaving scars. Although he already smelled the disinfectant, Gu Yansheng still asked, “Your face looks swollen, it is really squeamish, don’t you know to put some medicine on?” Gu Yansheng said with a look of disgust.
Wen Niannan squeezed the spoon in his hand, released his hand when he felt the pain, and replied, “I’ve already applied some medicine, I’ll just place some ice on it later.”
Is this… Is he worried? Wen Niannan’s heart suddenly felt warm.
Gu Yansheng went on to say, “I will go back to the old house to see my mother in a few days. Don’t leave any scars and let my mother find out.”
Sure enough, he had thought about it, how could he care about him…
Ding~
Gu Yansheng took the phone to check. The message was from an unfamiliar number, his face turned gloomy after clicking on it.
Seeing Gu Yansheng with a sudden change of expression, Wen Niannan asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Is something wrong with the company?”
Gu Yansheng suddenly overturned the table and turned to the door. The sound of the car outside the house gradually disappeared, leaving nothing but the embarrassed Wen Niannan not knowing what to do.
To Be Continued......
Gu Family Cooperation Building.
Gu Yansheng read through the files in his hand with a solemn face as his gaze slowly moved down and his hand gradually tightened.
“Are you certain of what you investigated?”
“Yes, Mr. Gu. The reason why we couldn’t find out the whereabouts of Master Shen Luoan before was that someone deliberately concealed and erased the traces. This time, according to the clues provided in the information, I soon found the traces of Master Shen Luoan.”
“Also, Master Shen Luoan met with Mr. Wen before he disappeared. And…the coffee shop surveillance photographed Mr. Wen beating Master Shen Luoan,” said Secretary Xiao Li cautiously.
On the way back, Gu Yansheng remembered that his eyes were red and swollen when Shen Luoan broke up with him a few years ago, and also remembered all the doubts he had once. It turned out that Wen Niannan did all this.
Wen Niannan was watching the news broadcast on TV at home. The ruthless power holder of the Gu Cooperation just bought another company.
The person in the photo frowned because he didn’t like being photographed by the reporter, and Wen Niannan raised his mouth unconsciously.
“Mr. Wen, you shouldn’t wait. Drink your milk and go to bed first.” Xu Shu came over and said.
“Okay.” Wen Niannan turned and walked upstairs after drinking the milk.
A bright light suddenly flashed outside the window and the sound of a car rang. Gu Yansheng is back! Wen Niannan ran downstairs happily.
“Yansheng.”
Gu Yansheng walked over with a chill, looking at the man in front of him who had been married for three years, gritted his teeth, and said, “Wen! Nian! Nan!” Wen Niannan “was scared of Gu Yansheng’s cold eyes and voice as he took two steps back. But he was dragged over by Gu Yansheng.
“Let me ask you, does Luoan’s sudden break up and disappearance have anything to do with you?” Gu Yansheng shouted sharply.
Wen Niannan looked at Gu Yansheng in disbelief, bowed his head, and smiled bitterly, “If I said no, would you believe me?”
“Would I believe you? A person like you would do anything! How did you marry me back then?! Don’t you do those kinds of dirty tricks all the time? How dare you manipulate him!”
He thought so. He, in Gu Yansheng’s heart, has always been a man with deep thoughts.
Wen Niannan has always known that Shen Luoan is Gu Yansheng’s sensitive topic. No one in this family dared to mention this name. There were many traces of him in the house, as Gu Yansheng had been carefully protecting the photos in the study room and the piano in the empty room on the second floor.
“I said I didn’t.”
At this moment, Gu Yansheng’s phone suddenly rang, and after the connection, Gu Yansheng suddenly turned with a panic expression.
If you really hurt him, I will make you pay a painful price.” After that, Gu Yansheng quickly got into his car and drove away in a hurry.
Gu Yansheng never came back for more than a month, as if the two had begun an endless cold war.
Wen Niannan looked at the red date marked by him on the calendar, and a trace of bitterness arose in his heart. Tomorrow was their third year anniversary.
“He didn’t take this marriage seriously at all, so how could he possibly remember it?” Wen Niannan murmured as he laughed at himself and looked out the window.
The phone in the living room rang, and the butler, Xu Shu, answered the call. “Sir? Are the documents in the study room? Okay, I’ll send them right away.”
As soon as Wen Niannan heard that Gu Yansheng called, he ran to grab the phone and asked, “Yansheng, when will you come back, tomorrow will be our…”
Du…
The other side hung up the phone.
“Mr. Wen, the young master asked me to deliver the documents. It’s in his study room, do you know which one it is?”
“I’ll deliver it.”
