ld she think she resembled her younger self, abandoned and alone like a stray dogStop! Stop!Before reason could return, the white BMW screeched to a halt, its jarring brakes echoing through the villa....Li Siqi didn't want to wear the clothes Gu Yunfan had given her, even though her sweater button was missing and it looked rather inappropriate.

She said in a nasal voice, "I don't want to wear it."

Zhang's secretary felt a little awkward, but didn't press her. She watched Li Siqi walk towards the elevator with her handbag covering the place where the button had fallen off.

She walked with such determination that Zhang's eyes welled up.

Over the past few years, she has gradually become Mr. Gu's confidante. She mostly hears about Mr. Gu and Miss Li from hearsay, but after seeing them a few times, she felt... At least back then, Miss Li truly loved Mr. Gu.

If she had never truly loved, she could have been with Mr. Gu.

Take advantage of Mr. Gu's wealth, use his guilt to demand more benefits for herself, but she didn't... even if it was 100,000 yuan, she would still take care of that little devil in Mr. Gu's family.

It must have been a love story.

Zhang, the secretary, reported back to Gu Yunfan, expecting a reprimand from Mr. Gu, but instead, Mr. Gu merely said in a calm tone: "Let it go!"

Zhang's secretary left.

Gu Yunfan sat quietly for a while, then got up and took the bag to the rest room.

Here's his midday break spot, a 45-square-meter space. Besides a large bed and a set of sofas, there's also a row of wardrobes. His secretary has prepared two sets of clothes for each season—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—for him, as well as Siqi.

Before returning to City B, he had considered getting back together with her.

After meeting, Li Siqi quickly decided to go on a blind date and get married.

He knew there had to be a reason, because she didn't want to give him a chance, didn't want him near her anymore. A legitimate boyfriend or even husband was the perfect excuse.

He Gu Yunan has status and background, he couldn't possibly become a male third party.

Siqi, do you hate me this much

Gu Yunfan hung up her clothes and gently stroked the row of carefully selected designer garments...

*

Li Siqi left the Gu's building and got into her own car.

Lowering the mirror, she looked at herself, her makeup was smudged and her eyes were swollen. She was truly a mess. Staring at herself like that, she told herself once again—

Stay away from Gu Yunfan!

She didn't dare to go home to change clothes, afraid her mother would suspect something, so she found a nearby women's clothing store and bought an outfit to change into. After that, she received a call from Cheng Lü, his voice lazy and casual.

He said, “What should we do, Li Siqi I’m addicted to dating you!”

Li Siqi held her phone, watching the traffic flow outside, and after a long silence, she softly asked, "Are you free tonight"

He didn't say whether it was empty or not, but sent her a location.

This is the address of a high-end restaurant.

French cuisine, a meal can be quite expensive, costing thousands of yuan for two people. To have a date here shows that you really value the relationship.

Li Siqi knew he had just bought the house and wasn't well-off, so she wanted to move. But then she thought, Cheng Lü probably considered it for a long time before deciding. If she said they should move now, it would be discouraging. She'd wait until after dinner to tell him!

She was no longer the pampered young lady she used to be. With a meal costing only two or three hundred, she was just as happy.

8 PM.

Li Siqi and Cheng Lü sat in an upscale French restaurant, the environment was particularly good, recently renovated, with a pianist playing.

Cheng Lü rarely came to such restaurants. He listened to the music for a while and said to Li Siqi, "You play very well."

Li Siqi was somewhat absentminded.

"That's Huo Xi," he said with a light smile as he looked over.

"Who is it"

Cheng Lü was taken aback for a moment, then immediately reacted: "It's Lawyer Huo from Yingjie Law Firm He's also from the Huo family"

Li Siqi nodded. "Yes! This French restaurant was opened by Huo Xi's mother, Mrs. Wen, and later given to Huo Xi. Occasionally, Lawyer Huo would come over to play the piano... I think there must be some beautiful childhood memories here for her."

Cheng Lü gently held her hand: "Siqi, we will still be fine in the future."

Li Siqi smiled faintly, leaned closer to him and softly said, "Then in the future, for such expensive restaurants, we can come once or twice a year. What do you think"

Cheng Lu thought she was especially adorable.

But he also wanted to give her a good life, for example, trying to let her integrate into her former friends' circle, letting her go out and have everyone say "This is Dr. Cheng's wife."

He hoped her work would be a passion, not just a means to make a living.

Cheng Lü didn't say it out loud. He reached out and gently pinched the tip of her nose.

The atmosphere was just right, so Li Siqi took the opportunity to say, "I refused Mr. Gu's offer... well... I went to teach for a while and found it wasn't very suitable. The children were too young and couldn't digest it at all."

Although Cheng Lü was a little disappointed, he still respected Li Siqi's choice: "If it's not suitable, don't teach! You decide this kind of thing."

Li Siqi smiled, a small tiger tooth was especially cute.

Although they were in a high-end restaurant, Cheng Lü still leaned in and kissed her.

Over there, Hoshi finished playing a piece of music.

Turning around, I happened to see this.

Isn't this An Ran's good friend Plus, Li Siqi used to always follow Huo Yunsi when she was young, it would be hard not to know each other... Alas, Gu Yunfan, that old geezer, isn't he chasing after someone back to B city He's still putting on a big power struggle in H city. Turns out the girl has a boyfriend!

Quite sweet!

Huo took out his phone, captured this sweet moment, and then sent it to his secretary.

>>

……

After sending it, she transferred 1 million to Anran, asking her to pass it on to Li Siqi.

This is considered a proxy for wage expenses.

The secretary was very efficient and finished the task within half an hour before quitting time. On top of the West Asia Building, one of the tallest buildings in City B, the screen began to play footage of Cheng Lü kissing Li Siqi.

Actually, they didn't even touch lips, but the scene is breathtakingly beautiful.

It makes people believe in love.

Clever as she was, Gu Siqi didn't want to eat at home after work. She wanted to go out for a stroll.

The father, who was very indulgent towards his youngest daughter, personally drove her out. When the car reached the city center, they happened to pass by West Asia Daxia. A huge screen on the top floor was playing pictures of Cheng Lü and Li Siqi.

It's shocking, for Gu Yunfan, yes.

Gu Yunfan sat, gripping the steering wheel, looking up at the beautiful scene, his heart aching. He recognized this restaurant; it was a Huo family business. It must have been taken by Huo's family to take care of him.

He stared for a long time, the cars behind him honked their horns frantically and obscene shouts came out.ut the signal was cut off.The phone calls can't go through.The car reeked of blood, a despairing stench.Liquid kept flowing from beneath her body. She looked down and saw blood staining the embroidere...
