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!

Having known Gu Nanzhou for so many years, he had always been imperturbable in handling matters. It was rare to see him this restless and irritated.


"Could it be that there's some thorny issue with a project? Since you've come out to relax, anything can be discussed later, and besides, your sister-in-law wouldn't meddle."


"Right, could you ask your sister-in-law when she's free, and see if she has time to make some pastries for me again? Last time she made some and gave them to my mom, and to my surprise, she with the pickiest taste actually really liked them. Lately, she's been nagging me to ask when you can bring your sister-in-law over, she wants to learn some tips."


Mentioning Su Wan, Gu Nanzhou's expression paused slightly. He looked down at the wine in the glass, his fingertips gently caressing the glass's edge, his lips parting slightly as he spoke indifferently, "I divorced her."


"You said, you and sister-in-law divorced??"
