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!

Perhaps it was because his speech was slow, but Gu Nanzhou's voice was even gentler than usual, his vocal tones low and raspy, as if the words "Mrs. Gu" were finely ground between his teeth, the trailing sounds elongated, carrying an undulating, deeply affectionate, and poignant sentiment.


It was as if a fine shower of sugar had fallen into a white porcelain sugar bowl.


The handset was pressed closely to the young girl's ear, as though Gu Nanzhou was whispering in her ear; and Su Wan suddenly recalled the passionate kiss from yesterday.


A heat rose in the girl's ears, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably.


Her first instinct was to hang up the phone, but on the other end, Gu Nanzhou spoke again, "Wanwan."


Gu Nanzhou's eyelids were lowered as he called out Su Wan's name, his voice soft, emotions of varying depths floating beneath his dense lashes.


Su Wan paused, asking subconsciously, "What's the matter?"
