In the end, he couldn't bear to look at Gu YiAi's disappointed eyes, even though every cell in his body was rejecting her.

A moth flew into a flame, without a single trace of regret.

At that moment, he forgave Gu Jianming for having gone crazy over a woman.

Gu Qi from the other side of the ocean, only knew that Pei Zi Yun was at ease with his company. The remaining matters were not within his consideration.

Early in the morning, Xin Nianyin was awakened by a wave of bustling voices.

He looked for the source of the voice. At the corner of the balcony, Gu Ming was whispering softly to the person on the other end of the line.

She was very familiar with this voice, but when had her husband ever needed someone other than her to be "gentle"?

Xin Nianyin stood quietly by the side, holding a black coat in her arms. She was waiting for him to finish his call. It was not the first time she had heard him call her from the other side of the ocean.

She knew that woman was her husband's responsibility. As his wife, she shouldn't have minded. However, in the end, she still couldn't get over it.

Gu Qi hung up the phone, and the instant that she turned around, she happened to meet Xin Nianyin's gaze.

Their eyes met, and the air seemed to become even more awkward. After a long while, Gu Bo's lips slowly parted, "Why are you up?"

"Afraid you're cold, I'll give you a piece of clothing." As she spoke, Xin Nianyin draped the clothes she carried around her shoulders naturally. "Is there something important to do?"

"No, Xia Yinyin said that a colleague from school is harassing her."

Gu Qi's tone was light and slightly anxious. He didn't like this kind of explanation. She was afraid that Xin Nianyin would think too much and that she would feel uncomfortable.

He was a person who clearly understood relationships. His contact with Xia Yinyin had been purely due to the care and concern of his big brother. He didn't want to disappoint her. However, at the moment, he didn't feel good about it.

"You, don't think too much."

He knew Xin Nianyin had seen his calls, but she didn't say anything.

With such a generous wife, Gu Qi didn't know whether to be angry or happy, but from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want her to misunderstand. Seeing how calm she was, he felt more and more terrified.

"There are some things that can help for a time and cannot help for a lifetime. The life of Miss Xia should be left to her own hands and not be overly reliant on you."

This was the first time that Xin Nianyin had discussed this matter from a macroscopic point of view.

Gu Qi also understood clearly that Xin Nianyin was right. However, he couldn't just stand by and watch Xia Yinyin's current situation.

"Nian Yin, I have always treated her as my elder sister-in-law. She is someone my elder brother would always care for before he died. I don't want to disappoint him."

Gu Qi's eyebrows slightly furrowed, his voice was gentle, it had the charm of calming people's hearts, his gentleness became more and more careful, this was a rare occurrence.

Smart woman, always knowing what to say and what not to say. What could she do now that things had come to this? She could not resent her actions, much less have any feelings for Xia Yinyin.

But when she thought of Gu Qi's "gentle treatment", she felt as if there was a thorn stuck in her throat. It couldn't take her life, but it would hurt the moment she touched it.

"Alright, you have your responsibilities. Go get busy first, I'll go prepare breakfast for you."

Xin Xuanyin nonchalantly said with a light tone, as if she did not care about Xia Yinyin's interlude at all.

The moment she turned around, Xin Nianyin's expression changed.

It was obviously spring already, but why was there still such a bone-piercing chill? It made her feel like she was naked, like she was in an icehouse.

After Xin Nianyin left, Gu Jianming stood alone on the balcony in silence for a long time.

His mind suddenly became a mess. He thought of his big brother who had once been in high spirits. He thought of the smile on Xia Yinyin's face when she was in his arms.

If his big brother hadn't died, there probably wouldn't be so many intestines severed.

In the end, the world is unpredictable …

Gu Qi's dazed thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a gust of cold wind. He subconsciously tightened his grip on his coat.

His brain felt like it had been struck by lightning.

She …

When Gu Yue turned around again, she was no longer beside Xin Nianyin. In the empty room, the smell of lilies filled the air, waking Gu Ji up.

After he recovered, Gu Qi quickly rushed down the stairs and entered the kitchen. The moment he saw Xin Nianyin, he let out a sigh of relief.

The truly sad person, not a single tear can flow out, this sentence, Gu Wei once read in a book.

Now that he saw Xin Nianyin's background, he thought of this sentence for some reason. In the next second, Gu Qi suddenly felt guilty for his indecisiveness.

"Nian Yin, are you jealous?"

Gu Qi slowly and gently embraced Xin Nianyin from behind her waist. With absolute weakness, he placed his chin on her delicate shoulder.

"In a sense, Miss Xia is your relative. It's only right that you take care of her."

Xin Xinyin used her hand to support Gu Huan's waist, "I'm not as petty as you think. I know that I'm the only one in your heart."

She said so, but she did not mind.

She was just like that. She couldn't bear to make things difficult for someone she loved. She would rather bear it in silence.

"Xin Xinyin, don't forget, you're the only one who worries me. No one can compete with me."

Xin Nianyin's magnanimous appearance made Gu Jiayi's heart ache even more. In the next second, his strong palm grabbed her shoulder. Before she could react, a gentle kiss landed on her lips.

Only after three seconds did Xin Nianyin regain her senses. The grievance she felt after being pressed down was like a flood that had just burst out of a dam.

However, she could not say anything. She could only lift her chin up slightly in response to the horror and deepen the kiss.

If he was destined to be unable to say it out loud, he would use his body to let the other party feel his pain.

A kiss, a redemption...

The rest of the time, as if to make up for her, she followed her preferences and directions, more meticulously.

They drove directly from Paris to Provence.

Provence, a lavender heaven, was said to be a place where God loved love. Every flower, every beach, every building was made for lovers.

What woman in the world could refuse Provence?

"Is your job okay? "Actually, you don't need to accompany me intentionally. If you have a job, you can do it. I don't mind."

Although she really did like Provence, Xin Nianyin did not want him to interfere in his work because of her.

"The work will be arranged in the back. There's a branch office here in Provence. I might need two days to go there and take a look."

Gu Qi's tone of "earnest" did not seem to be a lie at all.

It just so happened that the other party was a considerate person like Xin Nianyin, so he wouldn't care if her words were true or false.
