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 had a strong urge to stroke her head. His eyes drooped as he gazed at her for a long while; in the end, he simply picked up a coat from the side and draped it gently over Su Wan's shoulders.


After a few more minutes, as she sensed the gaze on her fade away and heard the sound of footsteps receding, the door opening and then closing, Su Wan finally looked up.


She exhaled deeply, roughly wiped her face, which was wet with tears, and sat on the sofa in a daze for a while before getting up and walking to the bedroom.


She was truly exhausted today. She didn't want to think about anything; all she wanted was to take a bath and then lie down in bed and have a good sleep.


While Su Wan was washing up, Gu Nanzhou stood outside the door, his eyelashes drooping low to conceal all the intense emotions swirling in his eyes.
