Jiang Zhun finally returned from abroad, and Yao Wan went to pick him up.

Looking at Yao Wan, who had lost a lot of weight, Jiang Zhun's face was full of heartache. "Wan, I was caught up in my family matters and didn't come back in time to help you. I really don't know how you managed to get through it."

Yao Wan smiled at Jiang Zhun.

Jiang Zhun had already helped her a lot. If it wasn't for Jiang Zhun's father's help, she wouldn't have been able to force Zhang Changjie into a corner.

"You've already helped me a lot. It was really fortunate that you and uncle helped me with Zhang Changjie's matter, or else I wouldn't know what to do."

Jiang Zhun put his arm around Yao Wan's shoulders. "Wan, I heard that we've signed a contract with the Gu's Group. That vampire Gu Nanchen can't be taking advantage of the situation, right? Did he bully you again?"

Jiang Zhun's indignant expression made Yao Wan laugh.

It had been a long time since she had laughed happily since the incident at home.

Now that his mother's condition had improved, the company was gradually getting out of trouble. The conflict with Gu Nanchen had been resolved, and he still had Jiang Zhun, a friend who was always thinking about him.

Yao Wan was already very satisfied.

Yao Wan told Jiang Zhun about her contract with Gu Nanchen, as well as the Gu's Group's investment and technical support in the project. This made Jiang Zhun look at Gu Nanchen in a different light.

This man was not as bad as he thought he was. At such a critical moment, he was still able to help Wan without remembering his past grudges.

It was just that back then, Yao Wan and Gu Nanchen were a golden couple.

However, for some reason, they suddenly broke up.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhun asked Yao Wan, "Wan, you and Gu Nanchen were fine back then. Why did you suddenly break up?"

When Yao Wan heard Jiang Zhun's question, her originally good mood suddenly fell to rock bottom.

She was immersed in her memories of the past.

Back then, Yao Wan and Gu Nanchen had been childhood sweethearts. The two of them had played together since they were young, and they had a good relationship after that. They had never quarreled before.

One year, when it was Gu Nanchen's birthday, Yao Wan had carefully prepared a present for him.

It was a photo album that contained all the memories of their childhood together.

Gu Nanchen had a younger sister named Gu Nanxi, who was an orphan adopted by the Gu family.

Gu Nanxi was very cute and innocent. Gu Nanchen's family doted on him and treated him as their own daughter.

Especially Gu Nanchen, he was even more obedient to his sister.

Gu Nanxi secretly liked Gu Nanchen. On the surface, she seemed to have a good relationship with Yao Wan, but in fact, when Gu Nanchen wasn't around, she always bullied the gentle Yao Wan.

She also often spoke ill of Yao Wan in front of Gu Nanchen, sowing discord between the two of them.

After she found out about the gift that Yao Wan had prepared for Gu Nanchen, she tried everything she could to tear it to pieces while Yao Wan wasn't paying attention.

Not only did Gu Nanxi destroy Yao Wan's gift, but she also accused her.

Gu Nanchen and Yao Wan had a huge argument because of this.

After that, because of Gu Nanxi's repeated provocations, the two of them finally broke up.

Thinking of this, Yao Wan's mood soured. She didn't know how to respond to Jiang Zhun's question. These things couldn't be explained in a few words.

Jiang Zhun saw that she was silent, and the atmosphere between the two of them became very gloomy. He knew that he might have said something wrong.

"Wan, don't think about unhappy things anymore. I'll take you shopping! If you like anything, just say it. I'll buy it for you."

Yao Wan shook her head. It was better not to think about the past.

...

The two of them did not pursue the matter any further. Instead, they walked down the street.

Yao Wan walked aimlessly as she looked around. Suddenly, she spotted a pair of rings in the window of a jewelry store.

The girl's was small and slender, the whole of the frosted ring was inlaid with tiny amethysts; the boy's was grand, and the design was of pure sand, with only a medium-sized black diamond in the center of the ring.

The quality of the platinum made the rings seem even more high-end.

Yao Wan took a liking to the rings at first glance.

If she were to buy them for Gu Nanchen, he would be overjoyed.

Yao Wan bought the rings and had the staff carve the initials "Yao Wan" and "Gu Nanchen" on the inside.

Yao Wan carefully hid the ring, wanting to surprise Gu Nanchen.

As soon as she entered the villa, she felt a strange atmosphere.

The servants in the villa were busy with their own matters without a word. No one dared to breathe too loudly.

Gu Nanchen sat on the sofa, his back still making people afraid to approach him.

"You still know how to come back?" Gu Nanchen's sudden words startled Yao Wan.

Gu Nanchen stood up and walked over to Yao Wan. He grabbed her shoulder tightly, causing her to gasp in pain.

"What did I say to you?!" Gu Nanchen's eyes were so fierce that it seemed as if he wanted to kill her.

Yao Wan used all her strength to push him away, but Gu Nanchen grabbed her even tighter. "Say something! What did I say to you?!"

At this moment, Gu Nanchen was dressed in black. His face was expressionless, and the terrifying aura around him made him look like an asura from hell.

This afternoon, he went to the pedestrian street to buy her some things for her weekend resort, but he saw her and Jiang Zhun shopping on the pedestrian street!

The two of them chatted and laughed like a couple.

It made him so angry that he almost crushed the steering wheel in his hand.

He was no longer in the mood to go back to the villa early to see when she would come back.

He didn't expect her to come back with a smile after dinner time.

Was she so happy to be with Jiang Zhun?!

She had never smiled like this when she was with him.

When Gu Nanchen thought of this, he increased the strength of his grip.

Yao Wan's shoulder felt like it was about to be crushed by Gu Nanchen. She shook him off with all her might. "Gu Nanchen, are you crazy?!"

In the afternoon, she had happily bought him a couple ring. She didn't expect him to treat her like this at night.

Thinking of this, Yao Wan burst into tears.

She secretly clenched the ring in her pocket.

Suddenly, she regretted being so attentive to him.

Gu Nanchen couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw Yao Wan crying, but he couldn't help but feel angry.

He threw the ornaments on the table by the door to the ground and turned around to go to the study.

Feeling wronged, Yao Wan went upstairs and covered herself with a blanket. She cried for a long time in secret.

Yao Wan did not sleep well that night.

Gu Nanchen didn't come back to the bedroom to sleep the entire night, feeling wronged and uneasy.

Her eyes were swollen like peaches, and they were red.

The next morning.

Gu Nanchen walked into the room and said in a firm and unquestionable tone, "Put on your clothes and accompany me to the resort."

Yao Wan held her breath, "I'm not going."

Gu Nanchen casually rummaged through the wardrobe until he found a few of Yao Wan's clothes. Then, he walked over to the bed and threw back the blanket. Ignoring the fact that she was still in her pajamas, he lifted her over his shoulder and carried her out of the room.

Yao Wan struggled, but Gu Nanchen threw her onto the passenger seat of the car. "You have to go even if you don't want to. You have no right to refuse me."
