Gu Yan took the phone and put it to his ear, "Hello? Are you the kid's mother? How can you let him live alone in a stranger's house!"

The person on the other end of the phone hung up quickly.

Gu Yan frowned in confusion, stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Yan's short hair, and said seriously, "Your mother won't abandon you, right?"

Xiao Yan giggled, hopped to the dining table with his short legs, and said in a baby voice, "Is this my chicken leg? I want to eat it."

Chen Yu glanced back and forth between Gu Yan and Xiao Yan's faces and said with a smile, "Where did you pick up this child from? He looks so much like you?"

Gong Zhe chuckled, "You know what, they really look alike."

Gu Yan's eyes fell on Xiao Yan, and he saw the little brat with one foot on the chair, chewing a chicken leg and picking his teeth with his fingernails...

He immediately looked disgusted and said, "Get lost, I don't have such a dirty kid."

After three rounds of drinking...

Chen Yu suddenly hugged the wine bottle and sobbed, "I heard that Susu recently dated a young man who just graduated from college. Woo woo woo, how could she be so cruel..."

Gu Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he sneered drunkenly, tears falling like beads from a broken string, "At least Xu Susu is still in front of you, but Lin Youwei seems to have evaporated from the face of the earth. If she is willing to appear in front of me now, I won't even blink an eye even if she has to support a few young men."

Chen Yu looked aggrieved, "Gu Yan, do you think there is really no hope for me?"

Gu Yan rudely wiped away his tears, his face flushed, and he said with a big tongue, "There is definitely no hope. You even got pregnant outside. She must be so depressed that she would turn back."

Chen Yu drank the beer in his hand and said quietly, "I know that, but I just won't give up."

Xiao Yan's mouth was full of chicken, and he said incoherently, "Why are they crying? They are making such a scene outside, it's so embarrassing."

Gong Zhe calmly took out a mask from his pocket and put it on. "They always come out to embarrass themselves every month. No matter how much I persuade them, it's useless. They even insist on picking food stalls that are full of people. I'm used to it."

Xiao Yan propped up his chin with his chubby hand, looking innocent, "Uncle, don't you have anything sad?"

Gong Zhe was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of sadness flashed across his face.

When the show was over, Special Assistant Lin was already waiting at the entrance of the food stall.

Gu Yan got into the car with his eyes closed, a cold aura emanating from his body, completely different from his drunken state just now.

"Boss Gu, it's trending on the search."

Gu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Hot search terms."

Assistant Lin cleared his throat and carefully observed Gu Yan's expression through the rearview mirror. "The business tycoon got drunk late at night and seems to have mental problems."

Gu Yan snorted and closed his eyes. "Tell me, if Lin Youwei saw this news, would she feel sorry for me?"

Special Assistant Lin sighed, "I think so."

Back at the villa, Xiao Yan quickly picked up the phone in the living room and dialed it. He stared at Gu Yan warily with his big eyes and whispered, "Mom, those news about Dad going crazy and pretending to be pitiful are all fake. Don't believe them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yan stood behind Xiao Yan, pinched his shoulders, snatched the phone, and said coldly, "Hello! Xiao Yan's mother, right! Take your child away, or I'm calling the police!"

Beep...hung up again.

Xiao Yan took a few steps back with a look of fear on his face and ran up the stairs.

A few days later, there was a Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony in City A, and Gu Yan was invited as the award presenter.

Gu Yan stood on the podium and read out emotionlessly, "The winner of the first Cannes Film Festival's Best Supporting Actor is Xu Zhou."

All eyes in the audience were focused on one spot. Gu Yan looked over there with a dull look. His pupils trembled suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and all the pores in his body seemed to be torn open.

The woman he had been thinking about day and night was sitting next to the young man, whispering in his ear, with her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

His breathing tightened, and the phone in his pocket vibrated. He answered it, and heard the excited voice of Special Assistant Lin, "Mr. Gu, Miss Lin is back home today!"

Gu Yan hung up the phone, threw the trophy into Xu Zhou's arms, and walked towards Lin Youwei with his long legs.

Lin Youwei looked Gu Yan up and down in confusion, "Who are you? Do I know you?"

Gu Yan's chest rose and fell violently, and a ball of anger in his chest spread to his throat!

Is Lin Youwei pretending to have amnesia? This is an old trick, he doesn't believe it!

Lin Youwei suddenly seemed to remember something and smiled sweetly, "Oh, it's you, Gu Yan! I haven't seen you for a few years. How come you have aged so much? I almost didn't recognize you."

Gu Yan's eyes instantly became moist. He had been praying to God day and night, and finally he got his wish and heard his name from Lin Youwei's mouth!

He pulled Lin Youwei up, his steps were a little unsteady, his palms were still sweating, "Come home with me."

Lin Youwei felt as if someone had stepped on her vital point. She struggled violently and slapped the man in the face.

"Gu Yan, I've told you that we don't have any relationship now! If you make a move again, I will be rude to you."

Gu Yan showed a bitter smile. He had imagined countless scenes of the two meeting again after a long separation, but he never expected that when they met again, Lin Youwei would no longer love him.

What if I don't love him? As long as I can stay by his side, that's enough.

Gu Yan suddenly grabbed the woman's shoulders, lifted her up gently, and carried her on his shoulders.

Lin Youwei blushed with shame. So many people in the venue were staring at the two of them as if they were monkeys. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into!

"Gu Yan, put me down! Put me down!"

Gu Yan took Lin Youwei outside the venue and pressed her against the wall without saying anything. "Lin Youwei, now that you're back, don't even think about leaving! I'm going to buy a chain to tie you up, and see if you dare to run around again!"

Tie her up like a dog? A trace of sadness flashed through Lin Youwei's eyes. Did Gu Yan treat her as his personal property?

"Gu Yan, let me go!" she almost yelled.

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't let go of Lin Youwei. He quickly apologized, "I was just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously. Lin Youwei, I, I have been looking for you for the past two years and it's been very hard..."

"You don't have to look for me! I don't like you anymore." Lin Youwei's heartless words were like a knife stabbing Gu Yan's lungs!

Gu Yan smiled bitterly, "Do you have another man abroad? Is that Xu Zhou?"

Lin Youwei raised her face stubbornly, "Gu Yan, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer?"

Gu Yan's face was filled with anger, his face was ashen, and he punched the wall, "Lin Youwei, are you deliberately irritating me?"

Lin Youwei sneered, stretched out her hand to hook Gu Yan's neck, tiptoed closer to the man, and blew a breath of hot air, "Gu Yan, go back and look in the mirror. You are almost forty years old. Aren't there more attractive young men out there? Why should I like an old man like you?"
