War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 276 Yanyan, you want to leave me again!
One night of ups and downs—is it the collapse of two hearts, or the despair of two people...
The next day, the weather was gloomy and sultry.
Heavy dark clouds covered the sky, as if the whole world was already somber, making one feel a heavy heart.
Gu Yan stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom after taking off her pajamas, looking at the traces of last night’s lovemaking on her body, and felt unbelievably calm.
It was strange; she thought she would be excited or resistant, but when this moment actually came, she felt calm instead.
Nobody expected it would come to this; some things they must face and must have a result.
She changed her clothes and went out; Tang Yuxiu was still asleep, and she went downstairs to make breakfast.
Just as she closed the bedroom door, Tang Yuxiu opened his eyes.
Tang Yuxiu came downstairs right on time as Gu Yan finished making breakfast, glancing at the clock on the wall—it was 7:25.
He saw a document bag placed on the coffee table in the living room.
It was the document bag he looked at last night.
So, it was finally time to lay cards on the table.
Tang Yuxiu felt a dull pain in his heart.
Gu Yan carried two breakfasts out from the kitchen and placed them respectively, poking her head out from the dining room, and Tang Yuxiu quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at her.
Gu Yan smiled slightly, "You’re up, come have breakfast."
"Okay," he responded, and walked over.
The atmosphere at the dining table was inexplicably rigid.
Gu Yan had a sense of doubt—she hadn’t said anything, so why did she always feel that Tang Yuxiu actually knew?
Both of them were engrossed in their own thoughts.
This meal, tasteless.
Finally, they finished eating. Although they ate very slowly, why did time feel like it passed so quickly?
Gu Yan picked up the plates, "I’ll go wash them clean."
Tang Yuxiu watched her without saying a word, Gu Yan lowered her head slightly, and walked briskly into the kitchen.
Tang Yuxiu’s gaze followed her all the way; Gu Yan felt a prickling sensation on her back.
Gu Yan turned on the faucet, absentmindedly washing the plates; due to a slip of the hand, a plate fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Fragments scattered all around, giving Gu Yan a scare. She hurriedly squatted down to pick them up, and Tang Yuxiu quickly came in, face anxious.
"Don’t touch!"
Startled by his sudden shout, Gu Yan instinctively withdrew her hand.
Tang Yuxiu fetched a broom and swept the shards on the ground clean.
Gu Yan watched intently—he almost never did these things, and at this moment, she only felt a special pain in her heart.
They were like the shattered plates, broken all over, never able to be pieced back together.
Tang Yuxiu pulled Gu Yan’s hand, leading her to the living room.
"Don’t do these things in the future; I can hire a part-time worker."
After saying this, Tang Yuxiu suddenly realized something different.
Gu Yan listened, slightly stunned.
Yes, she wouldn’t have to do them in the future, nor could she anymore.
Gu Yan smiled, nodding slightly, "Hmm, I won’t do them anymore in the future. You’re so busy with work, you’ll definitely be tired when you come back, and you can’t do them yourself. Still, it’s better to hire a part-time worker—after all, you can’t tolerate even a little mess in the room. Remember to find someone responsible and attentive, okay?"
Tang Yuxiu gazed deeply at her, "I don’t need to worry about such things."
Gu Yan understood, "Right, with You Shuyang helping you handle things, that’s good—you can worry less about many things."
"I don’t mean that; I don’t need to worry, because aren’t you still here? This is our home—we will always live here, so naturally, these matters should also be your concern."
Gu Yan’s heart suddenly clenched—their home...
She abruptly pulled out her hand from Tang Yuxiu’s grip and stepped back two steps.
Tang Yuxiu looked at the emptiness in his palm, as though a certain place in his heart also emptied, with a cold wind blowing in, especially unbearable.
Gu Yan turned her head, heart tightly twisted.
She lowered her eyes, looking at the document bag quietly lying on the coffee table, her eyes stung.
She took a deep breath and looked at Tang Yuxiu, "I have something to show you."
Tang Yuxiu’s hand at his side discreetly clenched, "What thing?"
Gu Yan bypassed Tang Yuxiu, reaching out to get the document bag.
Tang Yuxiu suddenly grasped her wrist tightly, making Gu Yan feel a slight pain.
She looked at him; he also gazed at her, into her eyes. There seemed to be restraint and other emotions—so complex.
Gu Yan couldn’t understand.
Tang Yuxiu said in a low voice, "Yanyan, is there no room for redemption? Why can’t you let go?"
Gu Yan trembled all over, eyes wide, "What did you say?"
Tang Yuxiu said, "I already saw what’s inside."
Gu Yan was shocked, "How did you know!"
"Yesterday, I felt something was off with your tone, so I asked Xue Jiarui; you weren’t dining with Xue Xianglan. I knew something was wrong with you and worried, so I had You Shuyang check your whereabouts. I followed you to the mountaintop and then all the way back. I saw someone hand this document bag to you."
Gu Yan suddenly felt a bit weak, "So you watched me put it in the drawer and looked at it while I was away."
"Yanyan..."
Gu Yan pushed his hand away, stepping back away from him, looking at him, "Since you’ve seen it, I don’t need to say more. I’ll be leaving today."
"Leaving!" Tang Yuxiu laughed sarcastically, "Yanyan, you want to leave me again!"
Again?
This word, to Gu Yan, was such a big accusation.
"Tang Yuxiu, if you had no idea about these matters, I wouldn’t blame you for saying so, but knowing and still accusing me—don’t you think it’s unfair to me?"
Is it her fault?
Did she want things to end up like this?
Does he know the torment in her heart?
How could he, after knowing everything, still say this about her?
If anyone is to be blamed, it’s Gu Yan blaming Tang Yuxiu—it’s their family that caused her parents’ death, made her live through hard days for so many years. She endured all the grievances, yet at the moment of truth, he still accused her of wanting to leave again like a victim!
Tang Yuxiu, do you think I want to leave you?
Tang Yuxiu looked at Gu Yan’s disappointed, sorrowful expression, heart aching, suddenly regretting his words, wishing to give himself a slap, yet still kept watching her.
"Yanyan, it’s clearly not me who did wrong things, yet we have to bear the consequences. Is that fair to us?"
Gu Yan lowered her head, mockingly, "So what, aren’t children supposed to pay for their parents’ debts, naturally?"
His father did wrong, hurt her parents, and in the end, they bear the consequence of love torn apart and letting go.
Parent’s debts!
Clearly, her parents did no wrong, yet she has to endure the pain brought by enemies.
