Seven Summer Leaves

 Su Wan married the man she had loved for ten years with a heart full of joy.
 On their wedding night, however, he said to her, "Su Wan, you've been given the status of Mrs. Xu. All you need to do is fulfill your duties. The only things you can get from me are power and money, nothing else."
 Su Wan, holding a sincere heart as if it were red-hot coal, wanted to tell him that she had secretly loved him for many years. But before she could give away her true feelings, they were thrown to the ground and shattered.
 Everyone thought that Su Wan must be very happy to marry A city's most noble man, Gu Nanzhou. Even Su Wan herself thought so.
 But that was just what she thought.
 Until one day, Su Wan realized that no matter what she did, she could not warm Gu Nanzhou's indifferent heart, and she no longer hoped to gain his love.
 She chose to leave, to set each other free, leaving only a divorce agreement behind.
 Everyone knew that Gu Nanzhou had no feelings for Su Wan and that marrying her was merely a reluctant decision. On the day of their divorce, his friends celebrated for him.
 In the lively atmosphere of the private room, the cold yet noble man didn't utter a word. With his legs crossed and fingertips glowing with a scarlet light, his expression was obscured by the swirling smoke, his mood impenetrable to others.
 And nobody knew that after Su Wan left, there were countless sleepless nights when Gu Nanzhou sat in her room, his fingers holding the divorce agreement turning white with tension.
 Later, at a banquet, Gu Nanzhou cornered Su Wan in a dimly lit corner.
 The man's eyes were slightly red, his voice low and hoarse, his usually indifferent and serene face now showing an unprecedented disarray, almost begging the person in his arms. "Wanwan, please don't divorce me, okay?"

Mr. CEO, You're Out!

The man raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What, after not seeing each other for a few years, can't you call me 'brother' anymore?"


"Brother Chengjing," Su Wan's eyes reddened as she asked him, "When did you return to the country?"


Yi Chengjing was her older male cousin. When they were young, their families lived close by, and Su Wan grew up with Yi Chengjing, sharing a close bond.


After the Yi Family faced troubles, Yi Chengjing went abroad, and now, it must have been six years since they last saw each other.


She noticed her brother looked taller than before, with a more mature set of facial features.


The Yi Family had excellent genes, and Yi Chengjing was a very handsome man, but his sharpness wasn't like Gu Nanzhou's piercing edge; it was more of an elegant and refined grace.


Yi Chengjing curved his mouth, set down his teacup, and beckoned her over, "I heard you and Gu Nanzhou got a divorce."


Su Wan nodded her head, honestly admitting, "You already knew, huh."
