Chapter 3 The Ex
Gu Yu and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts.
We dated in high school and stayed together through university.
Until I noticed another girl's figure gradually appearing in his updates.
In the long tug-of-war, I ended up covered in wounds.
From hysteria to complete numbness.
After the drama ended, I got married.
He was forcibly sent abroad to the branch company for "training."
Even now, I don't understand what he still wants to say to me.
I don't take the message seriously and block the number directly.
Because of Xie Nanchen's accident, I've delayed too much work.
I have to work overtime today.
It's already 7:30 p.m. when Xie Nanchen's message comes.
[Aunt Li is asking if you're coming home for dinner?]
As cold and brief as always.
The barrage immediately jumps in.
【It's you who wants to ask, right second male lead? Who knows how long you've been staring at your wife's chat box.】
【Second male lead has been sitting on the sofa waiting for the female lead since he got home—like a stone statue longing for his wife.】
【Amnesia somehow made him even more shippable?!】
The files still aren't finished.
I reply: 【Not coming home for dinner tonight. Tell Aunt Li not to make my portion.】
After thinking, I add another: 【You rest first. Don't wait up for me.】
After all, his body hasn't fully recovered.
Xie Nanchen doesn't send anything else.
When I finish work, it's almost midnight.
I walk out of the company building and see someone unexpected.
Gu Yu.
The look he gives me when he raises his head is complicated and dark.
"Shen Ying, long time no see."
"I knew you were busy, so I didn't go up to disturb you."
I have no intention of catching up.
"Do you need something?"
Gu Yu has matured a lot. He no longer shows emotions so openly like before.
But his gaze still locks firmly on my face, impossible to ignore.
His throat moves. "I just want to talk to you."
【Don't talk, female lead! The second male lead's face is about to turn into the bottom of a pot!】
【hhh, came to pick up his wife from work only to see this scene. Second male lead is going to go crazy!】
【Fight! Fight! Fight!】
