Who is A Yao?
After an intense and passionate encounter, Su Hua was drenched in fragrant sweat.
Gu Beixian didn't go to take a bath as he used to. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her from behind, holding her so tightly and forcefully that it seemed he wanted to merge her into himself.
Su Hua felt as if she was on the verge of melting in his embrace. She was unexpectedly filled with a mix of emotions - joy, nervousness, excitement, and a tinge of sadness.
It had been three years since they got married, and this was the first time he had held her like this.
She had a sense of being deeply loved.
Her heart was pounding like a startled deer. Slowly, she turned around and hugged him back tightly, her face wearing a sweet and beautiful smile as if she was holding the whole world in her arms.
They stayed like that for a long while.
Gu Beixian then let go of her, put on his clothes, and sat up. He took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, skillfully shook out one, lit it, and took a deep puff.
The white smoke curled around him, blurring the contours of his handsome and heroic face. His expression was indiscernible, and it was impossible to tell what was on his mind. He didn't even notice when the cigarette was almost burning his fingers.
Su Hua coucheghed lightly and said, "Didn't you quit smoking a long time ago?"
Gu Beixian stubbed out the cigarette and stared into her eyes with a deep and penetrating gaze. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Su Hua, let's part ways."
It was like a bolt from the blue!
Su Hua was stunned. Her once-burning heart cooled down instantly and froze over.
Her face turned pale as she stared at him in a daze, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "Did I do something wrong?"
"No."
"Then why do we have to part?"
"Chu Suosuo is back. I'm sorry."
Chu Suosuo was his ex-girlfriend.
Su Hua's heart was pierced with pain. Three years of being together day in and day out, sharing joys and sorrows, yet it couldn't withstand the return of that woman!
He didn't love her, and that was her biggest mistake.
A sense of loss, defeat, and sadness overwhelmed her. Su Hua clenched her teeth tightly, her whole body going rigid.
She shakily put on her clothes and was about to get out of bed.
Gu Beixian pressed down on her shoulders and asked gently, "Where are you going?"
Su Hua tried her best to hold back her tears and said, "To make breakfast."
"It's always been you making it. Let me do it today. You can sleep a bit longer." His voice was low and gentle.
Su Hua murmured an "Okay" and lay down again, pulling the quilt over to cover her teary eyes.
After he left, she got out of bed and rushed into the bathroom, unable to hold back her tears any longer. She burst into sobs.
The tears streamed down like beads off a broken string, refusing to stop.
She had never known that loving someone could cause such heartache, a pain so intense that it felt like he was a chunk of flesh gouged out from her heart.
She was in so much pain that she could hardly stand, leaning against the wall, crying and shaking.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Beixian called her downstairs for breakfast.
Su Hua responded and splashed cold water on her eyes over and over again.
But no matter how much she rinsed, her eyes remained red, as if bloodshot.
Going downstairs, she saw Gu Beixian standing in the dining room waiting for her.
He was dressed in a perfectly tailored high-end suit, with long, straight legs beneath the dark trousers. His whole demeanor was refined and noble, shining brightly even just by standing there.
Su Hua walked silently to the dining table and sat down.
Gu Beixian leaned over slightly, looking at her red eyes with an especially gentle gaze. "Were you crying?"
Su Hua looked up at him and forced a smile. "I accidentally got some facial cleanser in my eyes while washing my face. It'll be okay soon."
"Be more careful next time. Let's eat." Gu Beixian sat down beside her and handed her the chopsticks.
