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!

Mama Wu saw Su Wan off as she left, staring at the taxi's receding figure, standing quietly in front of the gate for a while.


It wasn't until the car was out of sight that she turned around and went back into the villa.


Not long after Su Wan had left, Gu Nanzhou woke up.


When he awoke, there was no one beside him, and even the pillow was neatly arranged.


If it weren't for the lingering sweet scent of the young girl still filling the air and the armchair by the bed, Gu Nanzhou would really have thought that yesterday was just an illusion.


His expression grew cold as he got out of bed.


A cup of hot water was left on the desk, though it had by now become lukewarm.


Gu Nanzhou paused briefly, his fingertips gently caressing the rim of the cup.


With the curtains drawn, the bedroom was dim, illuminated only by a few faint rays of light that quietly infiltrated the space.


The water was cool, yet Gu Nanzhou felt as if his heart was scorched by a sudden intense heat.
