Abandoned on a stormy night, I divorced and remarried into a wealthy family.

"I bought a couple's set meal at the restaurant across from the hospital through a group-buying site. Want to try it?"

After seeing who it was, Song Qintang breathed a sigh of relief.

As Zeng Zhu spoke, she pulled people into the office.

The two appeared at the tea restaurant ten minutes later and ate a couple's set meal.

She didn't intentionally stand up Wu Haoqi; she believed he wouldn't come at all.

Besides, if he really comes, it's better for her to wait for him outside than inside the department.

The doctor on duty today is a male doctor, so Wu Haoqi inevitably had to give him a hard time; she didn't want to cause trouble for her colleagues.

Since marrying Wu Haoqi, she has rarely attended departmental gatherings, because Wu Haoqi would make a big deal out of her presence with male colleagues.

Ms. Mei and Long Jianjia would also try to sow discord between her and others, forcing her to resign.

So she was always very careful, for fear of making Wu Haoqi angry.

She constantly thought about being a good wife to Wu Haoqi and wanted to gain the approval of the Wu family.

But now she understands that no matter how well she does, she will never receive genuine treatment.

Now that I've let go of my obsession, I feel much lighter.

This exquisite and delicious couple's set meal was the first time Song Qintang had ever eaten it.

It tasted even sweeter than I expected, a sweetness that warmed my heart.

She smiled and urged Zeng Zhu to try it too.

Zeng Zhu hadn't seen Song Qintang with such a carefree smile in a long time. Her eyes were bright and sparkling, as if she were still the same cheerful girl from college.

Her nose tingled, and she lowered her eyes to feed her another filled mochi. "You can have whatever you like. Best friends are friends too!"

The restaurant was bustling with activity, mostly filled with couples feeding each other.

Looking at Zeng Zhu, Song Qintang had a thought pop into her mind: it would be fine for her to live alone after her divorce.

In my free time, I have meals and watch movies with my best friend.

It's better than those dull and aggrieved days at the Wu family's house.

No matter what choices you make in life, there will always be regrets.

My parents used to be very loving, but my father, who always loved my mother, harbored resentment and blame for her for decades because another man was interested in her, until the end of his life.

Gu Huaihua's one-sided love ruined two families.

She also blamed Lu Pingping at that time.

Looking back, Lu Pingping was the one who suffered the most, bearing all the blame alone.

If it weren't for the circumstances at the time, she probably would never have entered into marriage.

At the other end of the street, Gu Huizhou watched this scene quietly.

The luxurious gold logo shone brightly in the night, yet it was discreetly parked on a street corner, like a giant beast lurking in the darkness.

Gu Huizhou looked at the people sitting in the booth behind the floor-to-ceiling window.

The room was filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter, the lively atmosphere of clinking glasses and exchanging toasts was palpable, and the warmth and vibrancy of everyday life were palpable.

But the noise didn't affect her at all. She sat quietly, a faint melancholy lingering beneath the brightness in her eyes, as if she were separated from the world by a thin mist.

She was still dressed in understated white, unlike the bright and colorful clothes she used to love.

Shen Si's usually cold eyes softened slightly.

Gazing at her lonely profile, all the noise around me faded away, leaving only a bittersweet ache in my heart.

Even though she was in the most bustling place, she was so lonely that he couldn't bear to look at her any longer and just wanted to take all her unspeakable sorrows into his arms.

Yue Heng looked at the boss's "going back on his word." He had clearly said that she was not allowed to report on her affairs anymore, but after just one glance, he suddenly ordered the car to stop.

He dared not make decisions on his own again, and simply waited quietly for his instructions.

In one hour, the plane to country C will take off. This is a very important international negotiation.

Yue Heng couldn't understand it at first, but after seeing that figure again, he immediately understood.

The boss, who is meticulous and perfect in everything, will make exceptions time and time again in front of Dr. Song.

Time passed slowly, and the driver anxiously winked at Yue Heng.

Yue Heng gave him a helpless look.

The three people, who were in a hurry, quietly watched the beautiful figure behind the window.

Seeing that time was running out, Yue Heng felt sweat beading on his back. Finally, the two people behind the window got up and went downstairs.

At that moment, Shen Wei's voice came from the back row: "Go and invite her here."

Yue Heng understood instantly!

I took a picture of the driver inside the car.

Although the driver didn't understand, he still got out of the car with him and stood outside.

After seeing Zeng Zhu off, Song Qintang glanced at her phone but there was no response, so she figured Wu Haoqi probably wouldn't come.

I plan to take a taxi and slowly go back.

Just as I took a step, someone walked towards me.

Upon meeting her gaze, Song Qintang froze for a moment.

She recognized the other person as Yue Heng, Gu Huizhou's assistant.

She didn't expect to see him here. Could Gu Huizhou be here too?

Just as his eyes were about to search, Yue Heng across from him spoke first, respectfully: "My boss invites Dr. Song for a chat. Please come with me."

How could Song Qintang not know who this boss is?

But for some reason, she felt a little uneasy, wondering what Gu Huizhou wanted to say to her.

She followed him to the street corner and saw the car reflecting light in the darkness. Just as she got close to his car, she felt nervous and flustered, just like when she was a child and was about to see him.

She hesitated, unsure of what to do, before Yue Heng gave her a chance. He opened the car door and smiled at Song Qintang, saying, "Dr. Song, please."

Song Qintang knew she couldn't avoid it, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up.

Before the oppressive feeling, there was a subtle, distinctive woody scent emanating from him.

The car was dimly lit, and in the spacious back seat, Gu Huizhou's face was hidden in the shadows. Song Qintang couldn't see his expression and didn't dare to look up at him, so she sat awkwardly beside him.

The quiet space fell silent.

Knowing his aloof nature, Song Qintang hesitated for a long time before finally speaking cautiously, asking, "Mr. Gu, is there something you want to discuss with me?"

Gu Huizhou glanced at her silently.

The car seemed to be filled with the warm fragrance of a flower garden because of her arrival, a beautiful and heart-melting scent.

Under the streetlights, he gazed at her fair and jade-like profile.

She looked up and saw a pair of bright, clear eyes, brimming with tears. Her gaze was full of affection, her eyes always brimming with tears. She looked delicate and timid, so beautiful that she was pitiful.

Gu Huizhou's gaze swept over her delicate eyebrows and gentle smile, and finally fell on her cautious eyes.

She used to see him as a child, and he always seemed so hopeful and lively; now she can never see him again.

At that time, Song Qintang was born with exquisite beauty, as soft and sweet as a snow goddess. When she tilted her head to watch him write, the light in her eyes sparkled, as if she had captured the entire starry sky.

But the person who used to tirelessly follow her now gets into the car slowly, as if he doesn't want to see her.

In fact, Gu Huizhou regretted it the moment he asked Yue Heng to call her over; he shouldn't have asked her.

We shouldn't have met.

She was already married, and no matter what he said, her affairs had nothing to do with him.

He thought he could control himself, but just as the car passed by, a single glance shattered all the defenses he had built up in his heart, and that tenderness that belonged only to her surged up uncontrollably.
