The CEO is domineering, the devil Boss is addicted to pampering

The moment Gu Yunqian hung up the phone with Su Xingya, an unknown flame seemed to be ignited in his heart. The anger seemed to be directed at someone, but it also seemed to be burning at his own sense of powerlessness.

He sat alone in the office, the sky outside the window gradually darkened until the entire space was completely swallowed up by the night.

The light in the office was pale and cold, reflecting his furrowed brow and the complex emotions in his deep eyes.

For the whole day, he seemed to be in a chaotic world, with his thoughts in a mess.

His mind kept replaying the mind-bending moments of yesterday. Those borderline memories that almost made him lose control were like sharp blades, slowly cutting through his heart.

He clearly remembered that if it was the real Su Xingya, she would be the one waiting silently by the bed, looking at him with her gentle and complex eyes, and at most would just hand him a glass of warm water and then quietly place it on the bedside.

Suddenly he realized that sense of distance and just the right amount of care were the peaceful harbor he longed for in his heart.

However, the "Su Xingya" he created with his own hands was completely different.

She would throw a tantrum because she didn't feel loved, and would take the initiative to get close to him and give him unprecedented warmth.

All of this was exactly the treatment he hoped for deep in his heart, and was his original intention in shaping this "her".

But whenever these long-desired scenes actually happened, Gu Yunqian seemed to be suddenly awakened and forced himself not to sink.

He began to question, is this really what he wanted?

These days, he tried his best to distance himself from her, fearing that he would fall deeper and deeper into this carefully designed dream and be unable to extricate himself.

Last night, he almost failed.

The struggle and pain at that moment came like a tide, drowning him in endless self-doubt and contradiction.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to drive those chaotic thoughts out of his mind.

At this moment, the office is so quiet that the only sound I can hear is my own heartbeat.

Gu Yunqian stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the dark night sky outside.

The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, as if trying to blow away the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart.

It was late at night. In a villa halfway up the mountain, a soft light seemed particularly warm in the silence, as if it was lit specially for waiting for someone.

Gu Yunqian returned in the moonlight, his figure elongated and projected on the window frame, with a hint of indescribable fatigue and determination.

Su Xingya was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the lamp was the one she left for him.

Her eyes were fixed on Gu Yunqian, with complex emotions intertwined in her eyes - expectation, confusion, and a hint of subtle nervousness.

She just stared at him quietly, as if her eyes wanted to convey thousands of words, but she said nothing, patiently waiting for him to take the initiative to break the silence.

"Change your clothes and I'll take you somewhere"

Su Xingya frowned slightly when she heard this, feeling puzzled and doubtful.

Where is he going to take me so late?

Although her heart was full of doubts, Su Xingya finally changed her clothes and followed Gu Yunqian into the car.

Along the way, both of them remained silent, and their thoughts were like the scenery passing by outside the car window, complex and elusive.

Su Xingya thought she had made sufficient mental preparations. However, when the destination appeared before her, she found that those preparations were far from enough.

The place Gu Yunqian brought her to was actually a cemetery!

The night was as dark as ink. It was pitch dark in the cemetery. The occasional bird calls seemed particularly harsh in the silence, adding a touch of eerie atmosphere to the place.

Su Xingya's heartbeat accelerated and she nervously grasped the handrail beside her.

However, Gu Yunqian, who was walking in front, seemed calm and fearless. He walked easily without lighting and was familiar with the road, obviously having been here many times.

This made Su Xingya even more curious. Who exactly was he going to take her to meet?

Su Xingya kept imagining the scene of the upcoming meeting in her mind and guessing various possibilities.

However, when she finally saw the name on the tombstone, she felt as if she was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze!

"Su Xingya..."

She murmured the name and felt her breath stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.

The owner of this tombstone is also called Su Xingya!

She glanced at the man beside her in disbelief, trying to find the answer from the figure so close to her.

Gu Yunqian seemed to see through her thoughts and finally took out his mobile phone to illuminate the tombstone. The words on the tombstone appeared one by one under the light, and each word was like a sharp knife, piercing Su Xingya's heart.

"The owner of this tombstone is also called Su Xingya." Gu Yunqian's voice was low and powerful, and every word was clearly heard by Su Xingya, "But she is not you, but mine..."

Having said that, he deliberately paused, as if observing Su Xingya's reaction.

Su Xingya had already guessed what was going to happen next, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper...

"We loved each other deeply, but we separated because of some misunderstandings and conflicts. After she passed away, I came here to see her every day, told her that I was doing well, and hoped that she could rest in peace in heaven."

Su Xingya's eyes instantly became moist when she heard this.

She finally understood why Gu Yunqian had hardly returned home in recent times. It turned out that he was here, spending the nights that should have belonged to them with the owner of the tombstone.

She listened quietly to the man expressing his deep affection, and every word was like a sharp knife cutting through her heart.

She listened to their story quietly, feeling mixed emotions.

As she listened to Gu Yunqian's self-blame and nostalgia, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart. She wanted to explode, but was afraid of disturbing the tranquility.

So she could only shed tears silently and vent her emotions in a silent way.

By the time Su Xingya reacted, Gu Yunqian had already finished his story and was looking at her seriously.

She wiped her face hastily and looked at him with forced calmness.

She didn't know what this man would say to her next. Would he ask her to put herself in the right position, recognize her identity, and be his canary obediently?

Or should I pretend to repent and let an innocent person suffer all this?

However...Gu Yunqian's next words were completely beyond her expectations.

"I know this is all very unfair to you."

His voice was deep and powerful, and every word was clearly heard by her.

"I will always love only her, even if she has become a monument standing here. I am sorry that you, an innocent person, have to endure all this."

Su Xingya was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Yunqian to admit his feelings so frankly, and she didn't expect him to apologize to her.

"I will be responsible for your life for the rest of your life."

He continued,

"It was my selfishness that got you involved in this substitute game. I'm sorry..."

Su Xingya looked at the man in front of her, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

She had never met such an honest man. You know, in this world, which man doesn't say one thing and do another behind the scenes?

I wish I could have all the face, money and money!
