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!

After painting for the whole day, Ye Li had only managed to finish half. Custom paintings were rather troublesome; she often needed to fine-tune for a long time, which was more time-consuming compared to her casual sketches.


A glance at the time showed it was already past six. A text message from Ji Yanchen half an hour ago was still on the screen: Do you want to go for barbecue?


Ye Li was a typical meat lover, but Ji Yanchen had a lighter taste and wasn't too fond of greasy foods. Moreover, with his inherent aristocratic demeanor, he always felt that barbecue restaurants were too smoky and seldom agreed to accompany her.


This time, he probably offered because he had upset her yesterday.


Ye Li: Sure, I'll come to your company to find you.


After putting away the easel in her room, Ye Li applied light makeup and left the house in a simple T-shirt and jeans.


She hailed a cab and arrived at the company.
