After finalizing the collaboration, the two put their differences aside.

The atmosphere became exceptionally relaxed.

Lin Yuan then took the opportunity to chat with Gu Jia about the specifics of the studio.

From the location, storefront size, and rent budget.

Then comes business registration, business license application, and initial team building.

Lin Yuan explained every detail clearly and logically.

The planning was incredibly meticulous.

It didn't sound like something he'd just casually said.

Gu Jia sat quietly to the side, becoming more and more shocked as she listened.

She initially thought that Lin Yuan had just mentioned the collaboration on a whim.

But now it seems that's not the case at all.

He already had a complete plan in mind for opening the studio.

Every step of the process and every plan is arranged clearly.

As Gu Jia watched Lin Yuan speak eloquently, her admiration for him grew even stronger.

This man is so calm and reliable.

It seems that no matter what happens, he is always confident.

The two hit it off as they talked.

Before I knew it, the sky outside the window had become completely dark.

The clock on the wall quietly ticked to nine o'clock at night.

Time flies.

Lin Yuan glanced at the time and understood.

It's getting late; he should go back.

Although he was reluctant to leave, he could not stay too long.

Before leaving, Lin Yuan did not forget his business.

"Sit still."

He whispered a word of advice.

He then took out the silver needles he always carried with him and performed the procedure with practiced skill.

They quickly administered a round of calming acupuncture to Gu Jia.

After a few needle pricks, Gu Jia's nerves, which had been tense for many days, instantly relaxed.

All the fatigue in my body vanished.

Tonight, she can finally get a good night's sleep and won't be tormented by nightmares anymore.

The acupuncture session is over.

Lin Yuan carefully put away the silver needles and spoke gently.

"I'm leaving now. Message me anytime if you need anything."

"We'll discuss the studio details tomorrow."

"Okay." Gu Jia nodded gently.

She got up and escorted Lin Yuan to his doorstep.

The night was gentle, and the evening breeze was cool.

Gu Jia stood by the door, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and gently waved to Lin Yuan.

"Dr. Lin, please drive carefully."

Lin Yuan stopped and looked back at her several times.

Hidden in his eyes was a tenderness and a sense of guilt that others could not understand.

A surge of suppressed emotions welled up in his eyes, but he could only suppress them all.

A few seconds later, he turned around and stepped into the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

The light from outside the door was blocked, and so was Gu Jia's figure.

that moment.

Lin Yuan's calm and composed facade vanished instantly.

The tenderness, guilt, and obsession in his eyes were all revealed.

Just now.

He almost couldn't hold back.

He wanted to rush forward regardless of everything and hold this girl, who had suffered so much injustice and waited so long, tightly in his arms.

I want to tell her the whole truth.

I want to make up for all her regrets.

But reason held him back.

It cannot be recognized.

It's not the right time yet.

Lin Yuan let out a long breath.

But a relieved smile crept onto his lips.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and came up with the idea of ​​opening a studio together.

It's a stroke of genius!

He couldn't help but secretly praise himself.

Holy crap, I'm a genius!

The studio's collaborative bond was established.

From now on, he and Gu Jia will have a legitimate reason to be together for a long time.

We no longer need to be limited to brief doctor-patient meetings.

We spend every day and night together.

Based on his lifelong understanding of Gu Jia.

I know her preferences, I know her weaknesses, I know all her gentleness and stubbornness.

A determined light shone in Lin Yuan's eyes.

It won't be long.

He will surely be able to gradually melt away Gu Jia's defenses.

He won her heart again.

Completely make up for all the debts and regrets from the previous life!

The elevator slowly descended.

The night is quiet, and the future looks promising.

This lifetime.

He would never let her down again.

It was a little after nine o'clock at night.

Lin Yuan took a taxi home.

The house was quiet.

My parents-in-law are elderly and have regular schedules; they had already gone back to their room to rest.

Only one small, warm yellow lamp was left on in the living room.

Under soft lighting.

Lin Wanrou sat alone on the sofa.

She stood with her legs together, wearing simple home pajamas.

Her cool and refined profile appeared exceptionally gentle under the light.

She was holding her laptop, focused on tackling unfinished work at the company.

Hearing the noise at the door, Lin Wanrou finally looked up.

Her cool, clear eyes looked at Lin Yuan as he entered.

His tone was much gentler than usual.

"You're back?"

"Why are you home so late today?"

In the past...

Lin Wanrou would never inquire about his whereabouts.

The two always treated each other with respect, polite yet distant.

But recently...

Lin Yuan, who had been so dejected, was like a completely different person to her, as if he had been reborn.

Their relationship visibly warmed up.

That's why she subconsciously asked another question.

Looking into his wife's clear and gentle eyes, Lin Yuan felt a strange sense of unease.

He had just been talking to Gu Jia about the studio and their internal conflicts.

It wasn't overtime at all.

But he certainly couldn't tell the truth.

Lin Yuan could only scratch his head and pretend to be nonchalant.

"Um... something came up at the hospital and I was working overtime until now, so I got back late."

After he finished speaking, he dared not look Lin Wanrou in the eye any longer.

Change shoes quickly.

"I'm going to take a shower first."

After saying that, he turned around and went into the bathroom.

Hot water gushed down.

Warm water washed over my body.

But Lin Yuan's mind was completely in turmoil.

He leaned against the cold tile wall, his brows furrowed.

My mind started to feel incredibly conflicted.

How should he handle the relationship between Lin Wanrou and Gu Jia?

On one side was the original owner's wife, Lin Wanrou.

She was stunningly beautiful, with a cool and aloof demeanor, and a gentle yet restrained nature.

After spending time together, he had truly fallen for her and genuinely liked her.

On the other side is Gu Jia.

He is equally gentle and beautiful, but he owes too much to others.

I took on debts for him, I suffered for him, and I had nightmares for him every night.

My heart and eyes are filled with him.

Both women have their own merits.

Each had their own reasons for being unable to let go.

Lin Yuan rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

This is really too difficult.

I like it in the palm of my hand, and I like it in the back of my hand too.

He couldn't bear to let either side down.

The bathroom was filled with steam.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath.

I forcibly suppressed the jumbled thoughts in my mind.

Forget it.

forget about it.

all will be good.

There's no use dwelling on it now.

Let's focus on living our lives well first, and take things slowly.

As for the relationship between the two girls...

We'll talk about it later!
