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 articulated each word as if they were landing on her heart.


She felt as if her heart was being yanked fiercely by someone.


After a silent moment, Su Wan softly said, "Gu Nanzhou, there's no need for you to do this."


Her smile was light, and so was her voice: "It's all in the past."


"When I was filled with nothing but thoughts of you, you never once looked my way, and now, as those feelings of love have dissipated, saying these things is meaningless."


Gu Nanzhou was panicked and his voice was hoarse and strained: "No, Wanwan, give me a little more time."


Su Wan gently pushed him, prompting him to look up at her.


The corners of Gu Nanzhou's eyes were red, his gaze deep, paranoid, and stubborn.


Suddenly, Su Wan felt that Gu Nanzhou was like a child who hadn't grown up. She shook her head: "Gu Nanzhou, some things, once broken, can never be put back together again."
