Ye Yuwei stared at her handphone, her heart aching.

[Wifey:It's all your fault. Why didn't you let me tell Brother the truth?!]

Ye Yuwei sent the message, but Gu Juexi did not reply. Perhaps he was still busy.

At the moment, Wen Shan who had just returned from informing the villagers sat at the door and clutched her handphone tightly, trembling. She didn't know whether it was caused by distress or other reasons.

He said that they were not destined to be together. The girl he was referring to was her, wasn't it?

Even though she had been putting in so much effort to win his heart.

[Wen Shan:Sister in-law, should I give up now?

Brother Gu's Wife: What's wrong?

Wen Shan: I heard what he had told you just now.

Brother Gu's Wife: …]

Ye Yuwei held her handphone tightly. She did not know how to explain it to Wen Shan right now.

[Wen Shan:I've been putting in so much effort. Why hasn't anything changed?

Wen Shan:Sister in-law, is my love not comparable to your love towards Brother Gu that time?]

Ye Yuwei read Wen Shan's messages one by one. She knew the girl was crying right now.

[Brother Gu's Wife:No, it isn't like that. You're doing an amazing job.

Brother Gu's Wife:Wen Shan, there are some things that I cannot tell you right now but I beg you, please continue to love him a little bit longer. Just give him some time.]

Wait until they finished investigating their aunt's case. Wait until they found out that the Gu Family's tragedy was not related to their aunt. Wait until they managed to prove that the Ye Family did not owe the Gu Family anything.

Perhaps that was the only way to unlock his heart.

Ye Yuwei did not dare to tell Nalan Chunbo anything before they discovered the truth because she was scared that the answer might still be the same. If that was the case, it would be another massive strike for Nalan Chunbo which would definitely put him through hell again.

[Wen Shan: But it hurts me a lot.

Brother Gu's Wife:Sorry. I am so sorry, Wen Shan.

Brother Gu's Wife:Wen Shan, I swear that you are in his heart. He definitely has feelings for you.

Wen Shan:I can't feel that at all.]

Ye Yuwei was silent. Her reply was like a sword through her heart, and she could not answer her.

Wen Shan sat at the door for a while until the breeze dried her tears, then got up slowly. Right at that moment, Nalan Chunbo came out and saw her. Wen Shan immediately smiled widely and said, "I have informed all of them. They are willing and happy to come over. They will be here at around six o'clock so let's tidy up this place a little."

She quickly walked past Nalan Chunbo to enter the house, but Nalan Chunbo caught her wrist and forced her to face him.

"Were you crying?" Nalan Chunbo demanded suddenly.

"No way. I ran too fast so my eyes were red due to the sea breeze just now. Are they very red? The sea breeze here is too strong," Wen Shan denied with a laugh and pushed his hand away before rushing into her room.

The moment Wen Shan turned around, her disguise vanished.

Despite being hurt, she refused to cry in front of him.

It was her who loved him in the first place, he had the right to reject her too.

Crying in front of him was too dramatic and pretentious.

She would not let herself behave like that in front of the person she loved.

Nalan Chunbo frowned while staring at the girl, and his gaze fell on the doorstep again.

He felt like his heart was being torn apart.

Nalan Chunbo clenched his fists tightly. He forced himself to stop thinking about consoling her and turned away from the staircase.

This was good enough.

It was the best solution!

Perhaps she would give up on him and find someone better who truly loved her.

The girl deserved to be loved and pampered.
