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!

Gu Nanzhou stared at the red mark, his eyes narrowing slightly as a surge of satisfaction filled his heart.


His lips curled into a gentle expression.


Su Wan grew even more worried, wondering if Gu Nanzhou had been stunned by her slap...


Her heart softened a moment, hesitating whether to ask Gu Nanzhou if he was all right.


But then Gu Nanzhou leaned in again, his slender fingers brushing her neck as he spoke in a low, husky voice, "Sorry, I just couldn't hold back."


Gu Nanzhou's gaze was strange, and on the left side of the changing room wall hung a circular mirror. Su Wan looked up.


That's when she discovered a strawberry mark on her neck.


The young girl was both angry and embarrassed, feeling as if the tight string in her mind had suddenly snapped. Her lashes trembled, her brows and the corners of her eyes reddened with shyness.


Su Wan grabbed nearby clothes and hurled them all at Gu Nanzhou, her voice trembling, "Gu Nanzhou! Get the hell out!"
