At this moment, I realized my mistake.

I had fallen into my own familiar trap.

Despite my best defenses, I was unable to ward off Gu Yuanzhou’s temptations.

Seeing that I had stopped eating the cake, Gu Yuanzhou shot me a calm glance,

“Why aren’t you eating? This is your favourite red velvet cake. I had it specially made for you, you should try some.”

But at this point, how could I still have the appetite to eat this cake? My mind was racing.

“Mrs. Gu likes red velvet cake, right? Actually, I don’t like cake!”

Gu Yuanzhou grabbed a piece of cake and took a bite, he then squinted his eyes and looked at me.

“You usually have some cake on your birthday, how would you know you don’t like it without trying it?”

I awkwardly put down the cake, trying to cover my slip-up,

“President Gu, I’m sorry. You made a mistake. Today’s not my birthday.”

“You took the birthday gift. How could it not be your birthday?”

He said, his eyes revealed a sharp and penetrating insight.

“President Gu, my birthday is… on the third of next month!”

I gave Song Xiaoyun’s birthday.

Gu Yuanzhou just squinted his eyes at me, but didn’t expose me.

I took a deep breath trying to keep my calm.

I was frantically planning on how to deal with whatever big move Gu Yuanzhou could throw at me next.

But he didn’t say much,

“Just finish your cake, you can celebrate your birthday early, can’t you?”

“Oh, thank you, President Gu!”

I sat down and finished the piece of cake that he sliced for me.

Yet Gu Yuanzhou did not eat, he kept drinking.

I had a feeling that Gu Yuanzhou knew something, but there was no tangible evidence.

After I finished the cake, he stood at the entrance of the restaurant, looking at me.

The night breeze was blowing, his eyes became even brighter, and his voice a bit hoarse.

“There’s a romantic hotel nearby, it has a nice ambiance. Should we not go back home tonight?”

He was really close to me, I could clearly smell the cologne from him, mixed with the scent of red wine.

It was like a strong surge of male hormones.

At the same time, I also felt that his gaze became exceptionally passionate.

When a grown man talks like this after drinking, it’s basically a hint that he wants to sleep with you tonight.

If you nod, he’ll act without inhibition next.

I can only smile at him,

“Won’t Miss Ye get mad at you, President Gu?”

“Our affairs have nothing to do with her!”

He was getting closer and closer to me…

“It’s a bit cold out.”

He took off his blazer, put it over me, and naturally wrapped his arm around my shoulder. He drew me into his embrace.

In an unguarded moment, he leaned down and gently kissed the top of my head.

The feeling was too subtle to describe.

That small act, as always.

As if nothing ever unpleasant happened between us.

For a moment, I was in a daze.

By the time I came back to my senses, I found myself in a hotel room.

In the dim light, the man sat on the bed, unbuckling the buttons on my clothes.

My mind was completely blank.

I had absolutely no idea how I ended up in the hotel with him, how I got into his room, and how he managed to entice me so.

Or perhaps, after experiencing so much pain, I desperately wanted to return to the warmth and happiness of the past.

In the span of a moment, I forgot everything.

It was not until he flew me onto the bed and slid his hands under my clothes that I regained consciousness.

I pushed him away.

Gu Yuanzhou hugged me tightly from behind, whisperly softly into my ear over and over again.

“Ayun, have you come back?”

He seemed drunk.

The wildly husky voice, laced with delusion.

I couldn’t escape when he held me like that.

“Gu Yuanzhou, let go! I am not your Ayun!”

I tried to push his hands away.

But the man, inflamed with lust, was somewhat deranged.

However, the fact that he had been with Ye Mengyan still punctured my heart.

The thought that he had once kissed Ye Mengyan.

He had used the same methods to please Ye Mengyan, and the thought of it made me nauseous.

I nearly threw up from his kisses.

“Let go of me! Gu Yuanzhou, stop it…”

He was kissing my earlobe, as he exclaimed in a hurried voice,

“I can give you whatever you want. Just please do not leave me again, okay?”

“Ayun, I cannot live without you!”

“Ayun, I was wrong, I did not appreciate you enough in the past. I am begging you to come back now. As long as you stay by my side, I will do anything you ask.”

I had initially thought that Gu Yuanzhou had recognised me after I was reborn.

But, hearing him utter these drunken ramblings now made me realise he still thought I was Song Xiaoyun.

He was just trying to deceive himself.

My clothes had been torn to pieces by him.

After almost a decade of marriage to Gu Yuanzhou, I knew he was a man of surging desires.

In the past, whenever he returned from work trips, he would be satiated only after an exhaustive romp.

In that moment, I thought I was done for…

The next morning,

Inside the small café, after finishing my work, I asked Wenya out for coffee, also taking the opportunity to relay what had happened the previous night.

After hearing my story, Wenya furrowed her brows and asked, “Do you still feel something for him?”

“Yes, I do!”

“Well, what can I say? If an adult man can please you in bed, then you might as well treat it like hiring a gigolo. My worry, however, is that you might fall for him again.”

I coughed lightly, “It didn’t happen!”

“He didn’t have his way?

“He had drunk too much! I lied about taking a bath. By the time I came out, he was sound asleep on the bed.”

Indeed, he had drunk nearly half a bottle of wine while I was eating the cake. This amount of alcohol was a lot for him.

Wenya sighed,

“Ayun, I think you’re playing with fire! No matter if he has recognised you or if he simply sees you as his deceased wife, his objective is clear – he’s just trying to alleviate his guilt. Anyway, I would not recommend you keep staying by his side. Back out, Ayun!”

“I can’t leave. I still haven’t found the truth about the arson.”

“Do you still need to investigate? Didn’t they say it was that ‘Damaha’ who did it?”

“It could be someone else!”

“If it’s not him, who else could it be?”

“Have you ever considered that it might have been Gu Yuanzhou who orchestrated this?”

Wenya watched as I became increasingly agitated and shook her head.

“Ayun, I know you’ve developed a deep resentment towards Gu Yuanzhou because of his infidelity. That’s why you’ve been trying to pin all the blame on him so that you won’t feel any sympathy when you finally confront him. But you have to face one fact: the two children were not merely yours, but also his – his own flesh and blood. He had no reason to do this.”

“But I can’t shake the feeling that he did it. I cannot bring myself to believe that our children were just randomly taken away from us. What’s most painful for me is that when we needed him most, he was not there! Even if he was not responsible, he still bears the largest portion of the blame.”

Wenya sighed and reached out to hug me tightly.

“Ayun! The person you can’t forgive isn’t Gu Yuanzhou, but yourself. You have to try to accept the reality and live for yourself. I’m not suggesting you forgive Gu Yuanzhou. Instead, you should ignore him, stay away from him. Even though he didn’t cause the fire, he betrayed you, and that is reason enough for you to cut him off.”

“I know!”

“Ayun, trust me. Leave him! Only by leaving him will you find liberation…”
