War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 271: Practicing Love and Affection

Tang Yuxiu said this: "Anyway, he’s severely traumatized now, can’t eat or sleep, so let’s make use of him and have him keep the night watch. As for me, I need to accompany my future wife and manage the company, very busy."

Gu Yan, "..."

Tang Mubei, "...

Having a brother like this is truly tragic.

Second Young Master Tang, I sympathize with you.

After leaving the hospital, Tang Yuxiu took Gu Yan to a place.

In a pavilion on the mountain, Gu Yan excitedly rushed to the railing, exclaiming, "Oh my God, it’s so beautiful!"

Looking out, the entire Jiang City was a sea of lights, with various colors twinkling. From a distance, it wasn’t dazzling at all, just very beautiful, very beautiful!

Tang Yuxiu, seeing how much Gu Yan liked it, also felt his mood lighten with joy.

"Last night I mentioned that there’s a place where you can see the whole view of Jiang City."

"So you brought me here tonight?"

"Hmm."

Tang Yuxiu looked at Gu Yan, his gaze focused.

I can’t wait to present all the beautiful things to you.

This is our beautiful world together.

Gu Yan smiled, wrapping her arms around Tang Yuxiu’s neck, "Tang Yuxiu, I’m really happy."

"Hmm, I know."

He saw it.

Her happiness was all that mattered.

By the pavilion, the two kissed each other with heartfelt emotion, against the backdrop of the beautiful cityscape below, a feeling of happiness and romance spreading in their hearts.

Gu Yan thought, being with Tang Yuxiu for so long, he was finally being romantic once.

She thought, if Tang Yuxiu suddenly took out a ring and proposed, she would definitely say yes!

No woman can resist a man in such a romantic setting.

But alas, Tang Yuxiu made no further moves.

Gu Yan felt a bit disappointed in her heart.

Though they had already announced it to the world, why hasn’t he proposed yet?

Gu Yan was frustrated and confused.

But this slight frustration couldn’t spoil Gu Yan’s good mood as she sat on the bench, watching the scenery below with Tang Yuxiu.

Tang Yuxiu held her waist, her head resting on his shoulder, their eyes reflecting the lights from the mountain below, brilliantly illuminated.

"I really wish time could stop, and we could sit here like this forever," Gu Yan said.

I want to be with you until the end of time.

When we become grandfathers and grandmothers, we will still be here watching the scenery.

As if time never passed.

"We’ll have plenty of chances in the future. Whenever you want to come, I’ll bring you," he said.

Gu Yan tilted her head, "You said it, don’t find me annoying then."

"Of course not."

Tang Yuxiu held her outstretched hand, kissed it gently, and did not intend to let go.

The two stayed at the mountain top until late at night, and it was only when Gu Yan felt cold that Tang Yuxiu took her back.

On such a night, it seemed something was bound to happen.

As soon as Tang Yuxiu entered the door, he kissed Gu Yan fervently. Gu Yan clung to his shoulders, passively enduring.

Tang Yuxiu’s kiss was passionate and urgent, as if it had been held back for a long time, now released all at once.

Gu Yan was dizzy, not even knowing how she got upstairs to the bedroom.

Gu Yan was pressed onto the black bed by Tang Yuxiu, her hair spread out, like an elf of the night, seemingly merging with the black bed.

Tang Yuxiu’s eyes were filled with growing desire, turning fiery red.

Gu Yan awakened from his intense kiss, her eyes like water, irresistibly enchanting.

She blinked, breathing softly, "Tang Yuxiu, how can you think of this any time, any place..."

Tang Yuxiu pressed his forehead against hers, asking lowly, "Think of what?"

Gu Yan gritted her teeth, "Thinking of such things."

Tang Yuxiu suddenly laughed lowly, his laughter deep and joyful, "Yanyan, I’m a healthy man, and you’re right in front of me. If I remained indifferent, you’d have reason to cry."

Gu Yan was silent, thinking, why would I cry?

Tang Yuxiu noticed the slight confusion in Gu Yan’s eyes and found it amusing.

"Yanyan, if I had thoughts like that in front of another woman, you’d have even more reason to cry."

Tang Yuxiu explained further with deeper understanding.

Gu Yan suddenly understood, so that’s it!

Gu Yan glared angrily at Tang Yuxiu, "How dare you have such thoughts about other women?"

"Do you think I dare?" Tang Yuxiu raised an eyebrow, not saying it all.

Gu Yan held her breath, "If you dare, I’ll make you suffer."

"Baby, I’m already good looking enough. If you make me look better, wouldn’t you feel inferior?"

Gu Yan, "... Holy crap!"

"Tang Yuxiu, can we still love each other properly?"

Gu Yan didn’t think there was any deeper meaning, just purely vented.

But...

Young Master Tang suddenly engaged in an intimate moment with her...

Gu Yan was exhausted and fell asleep without understanding. Clearly, they were having an unfriendly conversation, so why did it suddenly turn physical?

The only thought before falling asleep was, Tang Yuxiu is inhuman! Doesn’t he know how to be gentle? He’s worn me out!

The next day, unsurprisingly, she woke up late, and Tang Yuxiu was nowhere to be seen.

Gu Yan stood in front of the bathroom mirror, brushing her teeth and washing her face, coldly snorting to herself, "He must have gone too far last night and ran away to avoid being held accountable!"

Gu Yan went downstairs to make breakfast for herself but found breakfast already prepared in the kitchen.

It was the usual fried egg and ham sandwich she made, with a glass of milk.

Beside it was a sticky note with Tang Yuxiu’s casual handwriting: "I made breakfast. Remember to heat it up before you eat. Rest well today. No need to go to the office. I’ll pick you up for lunch."

Reading his note, Gu Yan’s heart warmed, yet she couldn’t help but tease, "Wow, Tang Yuxiu actually uses something as ordinary as a sticky note."

How fantastical.

Gu Yan reheated the breakfast and ate it with satisfaction.

She sat in the living room bored, flipping through channels with the remote, occasionally glancing at the wall clock, calculating when Tang Yuxiu would return.

The doorbell rang, and Gu Yan was pleased, but quickly returned to her mood. It couldn’t be Tang Yuxiu; he had a key, he wouldn’t ring the bell.

Gu Yan went to open the door. Outside stood a delivery man.

"Is this Miss Gu Yan?"

"I am."

"Here is a package for you to sign for."

Package? Gu Yan was puzzled; she hadn’t bought anything.

After signing, she returned to the living room and opened it; inside was a document folder.

Gu Yan pulled out clipped old newspaper clippings, some old black-and-white photos, and some miscellaneous, yet detailed information...

Gu Yan looked through them one by one, her hand holding the papers trembling more and more, her eyes widening, seemingly trying to suppress something.

The papers suddenly slipped from her powerless grasp and fell onto the coffee table. Gu Yan trembled all over, collapsing onto the sofa, her eyes became vacant, as if shocked, unable to snap out of it for a while. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

She curled her body, hugged her knees, and buried her head into her arms.

The images she just saw kept replaying in her mind.

What on earth was that? It can’t be true!

This can’t be real!

Gu Yan’s fists clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms, seemingly not feeling any pain.

She suddenly raised her head, grabbed the courier bag that packaged the materials, and called the number on it.

During the wait, her heart was racing, yet she was very afraid.

She hoped the number was valid, hoped someone would answer, but also feared someone would.

The call connected... Quickly, someone answered.

"Hello, Miss Gu."

The voice spoke first, instantly identifying her.

"Who are you, and why did you send me these things?" Gu Yan tried her best to calm down and questioned the other side.

"Miss Gu, our young master invites you to meet at Shuiyue Pavilion at noon. If you want to know, please come."

The other side finished speaking but didn’t hang up. Gu Yan took a deep breath, "Who is your young master? Why should I meet? I won’t believe these fake things!"

"Miss Gu, if you truly didn’t believe, you wouldn’t have called. As for who our young master is, likewise, come to the meeting and you’ll know everything."

Gu Yan held the phone tightly, slightly trembling, "I don’t care what your intentions are; I won’t let you succeed!"

Gu Yan finished speaking and quickly hung up; she grasped the phone tightly, her whole body shaking uncontrollably, her expression repressed yet painful.

Numerous images flashed through her mind, giving her a headache, but the heartache was worse.

It’s not true, it’s not...

She should not believe; it’s someone intentionally trying to sow discord, don’t believe it.

Gu Yan closed her eyes, but the persistent images in her mind tormented her.

She suddenly broke down crying!

She crazily gathered the papers from the coffee table, tore them into pieces, threw them into the toilet, and flushed them away. Yet those reports, those photos, those recorded data, and so many memories she thought long forgotten, all surged up, making her head feel like it would split!

Why must it be like this!

Her hard-earned peaceful life, her hard-earned home with Tang Yuxiu, why must someone come to destroy it!

Leaving her with no peace!

She refused to believe!

Gu Yan rushed out of the villa and ran wildly down the road. The early autumn weather wasn’t very cool yet, and as she ran, she broke into a sweat.

She ran until she reached the roadside, caught her breath, then took a bus to the city center.

Once in the city center, she immediately flagged down a taxi and headed straight for Shuiyue Pavilion.

It was still before eleven, and there weren’t many people at Shuiyue Pavilion. As soon as she entered, someone approached her.

"Miss, how many people?"

Gu Yan coldly scanned the interior of Shuiyue Pavilion and replied, "I’m looking for someone."

The waiter hesitated for a moment and inquired, "Are you Miss Gu Yan?"

"Yes, where is the person? Take me to them." Gu Yan said impatiently.

"Yes, Miss Gu, please follow me."

Gu Yan followed the waiter upstairs to the second floor.

Shuiyue Pavilion, with its internal construction and decor matching its name, exuded a classical charm.

Unfortunately, Gu Yan had no mood to appreciate any of it.
