I consistently held a resisting attitude towards Gu Yuanzhou.

Thus, I was always the first one to oppose any of his decisions.

“President Gu, it’s getting late. I’d rather find a guest room to rest.”

“It’s still early, it’s not time to sleep yet. I can give you the day off tomorrow.”

He didn’t give me any chance to back off, and still very domineeringly led me upstairs.

I had actually been to this room before.

Here were many memories, all pertaining to Gu Yuanzhou and me. I didn’t want to recall or touch upon them.

My steps paused at the door.

“President Gu, your wife has passed away. Now you’re pulling me into her room with you, don’t you feel a bit uneasy?”

He glanced back at me, pulled me into the bedroom, shut the door behind us, and turned on the light.

After entering the bedroom, he held my hand tightly, never to let go.

“Look at this bedroom!”

He pulled me by the table and sat down.

There was a music box on the table, he opened it, a bride in a wedding dress began to spin, slowly rotating with the music.

The long-lost sound of the music also awakened many memories.

“Do you know what this is?”

Gu Yuanzhou pointed at the music box as he asked me from beside me.

I shook my head and acted dumb.

“This is a doll that was put on the hood of the wedding car the day I married my wife…”

“Oh!”

“Do you know why this object wasn’t moved to our new home instead?”

“Not sure!”

“Because the year we married, I was very poor and even the bridal chamber we lived in was rented. It was small, only about thirty plus square meters. But, even though it was small, half the space had to be cleared out for storage of clothes, our computers, and other office supplies. Therefore, many items were still kept at her parent’s house, in this maiden room.”

He described the past, in a deep voice.

I, of course, know all of it, but I had to pretend that I didn’t.

“She liked this music box very much. On our wedding day, she looked as beautiful and ethereal in her white dress as this bride doll. I always felt so lucky to marry her.”

Gu Yuanzhou’s fingers touched that music box.

He seemed touched.

Whereas, I despised him, I thought he was lying.

He was working an emotion card.

In other words, he was performing in front of me. His aim was simple, to cover up for Ye Mengyan.

Maybe it’s because my guard was up, no matter how much he appealed to sentiment, it was hard for me to empathize.

After a while, he opened a drawer and flipped out a photo album.

There were many photos in it.

Some were my individual photos, and a few were taken together with Gu Yuanzhou.

That time, when I first started dating, I was a bit naive. Leaning on Gu Yuanzhou, my face was full of sunshine and smiles.

I was thinking, if I could be reborn at that age, I would never marry Gu Yuanzhou

That night, Gu Yuanzhou told me a lot of things.

About how the two of us had fallen in love, got married, and started a business.

But I felt restless inside, too restless to listen.

It was not until almost one in the morning that Gu Yuanzhou finally let me go.

“You will sleep here tonight!”

“President Gu, what do you mean? You want me to sleep in your deceased wife’s maiden room?”

He did not answer my question but just stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at me intently for a long time.

“I’ll be downstairs, call me if you need anything!”

At this point, I was exhausted and did not want to argue with him anymore. I could only agree.

After he left my bedroom, I went to the bathroom.

Just at that moment, Wenya called me on video, and I answered directly.

In the video, Wenya is lying in bed, still slightly sleepy. She stares at me for a while before saying,

“Damn, you actually answered. I thought you wouldn’t pick up.”

While brushing my teeth and washing my face, I ask her,

“Why are you looking for me at this hour?”

“I was already asleep, but Yinuo from your home kept calling to rush me! He’s worried about what Gu Yuanzhou might do to you.”

“He won’t hurt me.”

“Hey, your bathroom looks familiar. You couldn’t possibly be at the Song’s house, could you?”

“Exactly, I’m at my uncle’s house.”

Next, I told Wenya about Gu Yuanzhou bringing me to the Song’s house and his various attempts to test me.

After listening, Wenya concluded, “I guess he’s starting to suspect you! Ayun, you mustn’t give yourself away. If he finds out you’re reborn  ”

“So what if he does?”

“He might kill you again! It’s pretty risky.”

“Tell Ding Yinuo not to worry! I’m fine!”

“Ayun, take my advice, don’t trust Gu Yuanzhou! Don’t believe a single word he says.”

“Okay!”

After hanging up the phone, I washed my face and then got into bed.

Everything here is very familiar to me.

I have slept on this bed for years, even the blanket was chosen by me.

The furniture and decorations in the room remain the same.

Switching off the light, listening to the sound of rain outside, my mind was involuntarily filled with memories of Gu Yuanzhou.

I searched hard, looking for any trace of betrayal in our past life as a married couple.

I couldn’t find any!

From being in a relationship to our marriage, he was genuinely good to me and responsible towards our child.

But why did he betray me?

When did he change his mind?

I thought and thought, unable to sleep, not until the break of dawn did I fall into a confused sleep.

The next morning, I woke up groggily, staring at the ceiling, momentarily unsure of where I was.

Until a man’s voice by the bed called out.

“Ayun!”

Just like the countless times he gently woke me up.

I unconsciously responded.

But when I looked closely, it was Gu Yuanzhou.

I immediately reverted to a defensive stance, “President Gu! How can you enter my room at will?”

“This is my wife’s boudoir   don’t I have the right to enter and exit freely?”

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When I came out, Gu Yuanzhou was inserting a bunch of flowers into a vase.

This seemed very familiar.

When I was too busy with our two children in the past, he would help out with some chores, taking care of the children, arranging flowers.

Our family atmosphere was great back then, and friends had complimented Gu Yuanzhou as a good family man, even taking care of sanitary pads attentively.

Standing still, arms crossed, I watched him finish arranging a bunch of flowers and place them in the sunlight.

“What do you think?”

He turned to look at me.

In a flat voice, I said, “President Gu, I find roses very tacky, especially this fiery red color, it’s unbearably vulgar.”

Gu Yuanzhou frowned, “My wife said red roses symbolize a passionate love! Like a flame.”

With a sardonic smile, I said, “If she could be reborn, she would definitely tell you that what she hates the most in this life is fire!”

Perhaps my words had struck a nerve with Gu Yuanzhou. He could no longer maintain his composure.

“Sometimes, I think you are very much like my wife. Your behaviors, thought patterns, and even your eating habits are so similar. But I know you’re not her. Because   My wife has been wronged by the Ding family for so many years, there’s no way she would associate with them.”
