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!

That fondness, mixed with a sense of grievance, receded and then surged back, over and over again.


In the midst of the whirlpool, she struggled, with no one coming to her rescue, no one offering her a hand.


Even the feeling Gu Nanzhou left her with was nothing but an indifferent sense of alienation.


After a long time, the downcast girl finally lifted her head to look at him.


Su Wan smiled faintly, her smile light, her voice equally soft.


"Do you know, that road was very dark, very long, and I walked it all alone."


Having spoken her heart, Su Wan thought she should feel relieved, but the sense of grievance overwhelmed her, suffocating her.


Her hands trembling, tears fell to the ground one by one.


Actually, she didn't want to cry, but the emotions came too suddenly, and she couldn't control herself; once her tears fell, she couldn't stop them.


The young girl's voice was thin, her sobs broken and unsteady.
