Deng Mansion.
It wasn't until Deng Ying had gone to sleep that Gu Wanwan got up and left.
Down the stairs, she saw Denzih sitting on the sofa in a daze. She pursed her lips and went to sit across from him.
"Have you decided?" She looked at him and asked hesitantly.
Hearing Gu Wan Wan'er's voice, Deng Zizhi came back to his senses. He looked at her and squeezed out a smile, "I've already contacted her, she said it's not a big problem and can be cured."
Looking at his sad appearance, Gu Wan Wan'er wanted to comfort him. She moved her lips, but realized that she couldn't say a single word.
"It's fine, you don't have to comfort me."
As if reading what she was about to say, he let out a long sigh and leaned back against the sofa. "When her mother left, I promised to take good care of her, but I didn't expect …"
In the end, he swallowed his words.
All these years, it was he who had neglected her growth. He would give her a lot of money, but never did he find the time to accompany her. He did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
Gu Wan Wan Wan quietly listened to his story. Right now, this man no longer had his usual high spirits. Right now, he was just an ordinary sad man.
Deng Zizhi spoke the words that he had suppressed in his heart for many years, and his heart felt much more at ease. He took a sip of tea and laughed heartily, "Thank you for these past few days. Every day, I come to accompany Little Ying."
Gu Wan Wan Wan shook her head. For Xiao Ying to become like this, it was half her responsibility.
Deng Zizhi seemed to be able to read her thoughts, she thought for a moment and said, "Miss Gu, let her pass on the past, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Little Ying has been kind since she was young, if time returns, I believe she will still choose to do this."
Gu Wanwan's mood was heavy as she pinched the handbag in her hand without saying a word.
Relatively speechless, Gu Wan Wan'er noticed that it was getting late, so she stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should go back now."
"I'll get the chauffeur to take you there …"
"No need." Gu Wan Wan'er refused with a smile. "I want to take a walk."
Deng Zizhi naturally did not force her hand as he heard her say so. He watched her walk away before turning around and heading back up the stairs.
Gu Wanwan felt sad. She didn't want to go back so early.
She stood by the side of the road, looked around, and finally took a taxi to the beach.
Not far away, in a silver sports car.
Yu Yihuai sat in the back seat, his fingers resting on the window.
He looked at the slowly disappearing taxi, his lips curled into a smile, and said to the driver, "Follow me."
"Yes, Director Yu."
The car stopped at the seaside, and Gu Wan'er paid for it. After thanking him, she absent-mindedly walked to the beach. Her mood was as bad as the sea water that was rising and falling at this time.
Everyone told her it wasn't her fault, but she just couldn't get over it.
If... If she hadn't made that call, perhaps Little Ying wouldn't have been discovered.
Beside her, there was a couple playing with water. She glanced at them before turning her head away, quickly wiping away the tears in her eyes.
"A person sneakily came here to cry? "Shen Cheng Hang, this boyfriend really didn't do it well."
A man's voice suddenly came from behind her. Gu Wan Wan'er was startled, and turned around to see Yu Yi Huai behind her.
He did not know how long he stood there. The black coat was in his hands and his tie hung loosely around his neck.
Gu Wanwan frowned, "Why are you here?"
"I followed you when I saw you." Yu Yi Huai's eyebrows shot up as he explained, then he walked over to her side and sat down.
"Why isn't Shen Cheng Hang with you?"
Gu Wanwan curled her lips. "What does it have to do with you?"
"True, it has nothing to do with me." Yu Yi Huai laughed and suddenly reached out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, "But I've never seen a woman cry before, especially a woman I like."
His movements were light and gentle, like a feather sliding across his face.
Gu Wan Wan'er's brows knitted, and she subconsciously leaned back, opening up a distance between the two of them.
"Miss Gu." Yu Yi Huai couldn't help but laugh, "You look like you haven't dodged in time. If someone saw me, they wouldn't have known that I was poisoned."
"Why are you following me?" Gu Wan Wan recalled the incident where Shen Cheng Hang was angry at him, so she didn't dare to get too close to him.
She looked around vigilantly. Could it be that there was another puppy here?
"I missed you." Yu Huai pursed his lips into a smile. He picked up a small conch from the beach and casually played with it, "We are quite fated to meet. Every time I think behind you, I will see you."
"Is that so?" Gu Wanwan remained unmoved as she expressionlessly said, "It's a bad fate, right?"
"Pfft ~" When Yu Yi Huai heard her words, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When the surrounding people heard the noise, they all looked over curiously.
"What are you doing?" Gu Wan Wan'er quickly lowered her head, afraid that someone would recognize her. She patted her head in annoyance. "Lower your voice."
Yu Yi Huai quickly withdrew his smile, and with a muffled grunt, he retrieved a jelly from his pocket.
"Are you going to eat or not?"
Gu Wan'er glanced at it, but didn't pick it up. "You're a grown man, and you even bring something like this with you?"
With a smile on his face, Yu Yi lowered his head and earnestly began to peel the jelly.
"When I was young, I was often mocked because I didn't have a father. "Those children didn't want to play with me and said that I was a bastard who always bullied me whenever they saw me."
Gu Wan Wan'er didn't expect him to suddenly mention this. A hint of helplessness flashed across her face. She pursed her lips and quietly listened to what he had to say.
"My mom worked in a small factory to earn money, and by the time she got home, I was already asleep, but when I saw the wounds on my body, I knew what had happened."
"She can't always stay with me and protect me. She can only let me learn how to be strong."
He laughed, then handed the peeled jelly to Gu Wanwan.
Gu Wanwan glanced at him. Although his fingers were long and slender, there were many calluses on his palm. He must have done a lot of hard work when he was young.
Gu Wan Wan'er's heart thumped. She took the jelly and took a bite.
It was lemon flavored, and the sweet and sour taste immediately spread in his mouth.
"When I was young, my family was poor and didn't have any snacks to eat, but every morning when I woke up, I would see the Jelly that my mom left on the bed."
"She loves me, but she can't do anything about it. She can only use this to comfort me. After a while, it seems that I won't be able to leave."
As he spoke, he acted like he was playing a trick. He found a jellyfish from somewhere and played with it in his palm, not eating it.
Gu Wan Wan finished eating a jelly. She looked at him, not knowing what to say.
"What, have you started sympathizing with me after hearing my story?" As if guessing her thoughts, he turned his head and smiled at her.
Gu Wanwan rolled her eyes, the sadness in her heart instantly disappeared without a trace.
"At that time, Jelly was so cheap, but she didn't have as many flavors as she does now."
Yu Yi Huai laughed, and then laid his palms on the ground in front of her.
