"Just what?" Gu Jinyan asked, his deep eyes locked on hers, as if he wanted to see through all the secrets in her heart.

Su Li avoided his gaze, lowered her head, and said softly: "I'm just a little tired, I want to go back first."

Gu Jinyan wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

He just patted her hand gently and signaled the driver to drive over.

On the way home, both of them were silent.

She knew that Gu Jinyan loved her, but was this love enough to withstand the erosion of time and the return of another woman?

The next morning, Su Li received a strange phone call.

"Is this Miss Su Li?" A clear female voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of subtle hostility.

"Yes, who are you?" Su Li asked vigilantly.

"I'm Tang Wan. Can I meet with you? I want to talk to you alone about something."

Su Li's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

"About what?" she asked tentatively.

"About Gu Jinyan, about you, and about us." Tang Wan's voice was a little sarcastic. "I think you should be very interested."

Su Li hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to her request.

After hanging up the phone, Su Li's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

She had a premonition that Tang Wan's appearance would completely disrupt her current life.

Su Li's heart was beating wildly. Tang Wan, this name was not unfamiliar to her. She was Gu Jinyan's girlfriend in college and the indelible white moonlight in Gu Jinyan's heart.

She went to the appointment in a mood as heavy as a rainy day.

The agreed coffee shop had an elegant environment. Tang Wan was already waiting there, wearing a well-tailored professional suit that made her look capable and elegant.

"You're here." Tang Wan gracefully put down the coffee cup in her hand, with an ambiguous smile on her lips.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Su Li went straight to the point, not wanting to argue with her too much.

Tang Wan's gaze stayed on her face for a few seconds, and then she chuckled, "It seems that you are doing well. Jin Yan seems to be very attentive to you."

Su Li didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words.

"Su Li, you should know that Jin Yan and I were once deeply in love." Tang Wan put away her smile, with a hint of bitterness in her tone, "If it weren't for some misunderstandings, we should have been married and had children now."

Su Li's fingers holding the coffee cup tightened slightly. She knew that what Tang Wan said was true and Gu Jinyan had never concealed his feelings for her.

"Then why did you come back? Why did you appear in my life again?" Su Li suppressed the emotions in her heart and tried to keep her tone calm.

Tang Wan looked at her and said word by word: "Because I am unwilling and I don't want to see Jin Yan deceived by you. Su Li, you are too naive and too easy to trust others. Do you think Jin Yan really loves you? He is just using you, using you to forget the past, and using you to fill the emptiness in his heart!"

Su Li stood up suddenly, her face pale, "Impossible! You are talking nonsense!"

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know it in your heart." Tang Wan also stood up, walked in front of her, and said in a low voice, "Have you ever thought about why he suddenly married you? Why is his kindness to you always accompanied by a hint of pity and guilt?"

Su Li's heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body was cold.

Tang Wan's words were like a sharp blade, piercing her heart.

"That's all I have to say. You can take care of yourself." Tang Wan said, picked up her handbag, and left the cafe without looking back.

Su Li stood there blankly, Tang Wan's words echoing in her mind, and she felt confused.

She didn't know whether she should believe Tang Wan's words, but she couldn't deny that Tang Wan's words planted a seed of doubt in her heart.

In the evening, Gu Jinyan returned home and saw Su Li sitting on the sofa in a daze. He walked over and gently put his arm around her shoulders. "What's wrong? You don't look very happy today."

Su Li raised her head and looked into Gu Jinyan's gentle eyes, feeling mixed emotions.

"Jin Yan..." She opened her mouth and wanted to ask him, but didn't know where to start.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan noticed that she was hesitant to speak, and asked with concern, "If you have anything, you can tell me."

Su Li looked into his eyes, her heart full of struggle. Finally, she asked, "If... I mean if, one day, the most important person in your heart comes back, what will you do?"

Gu Jinyan was obviously stunned for a moment. Su Li's question was like a thorn that gently pierced his heart. He avoided Su Li's gaze, with a barely perceptible panic in his tone, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Su Li did not miss the evasive look in his eyes, and the seed of doubt in her heart quickly took root and sprouted, "I'm just asking casually, if you don't want to answer, forget it."

"No, I just..." Gu Jinyan wanted to explain, but didn't know how to start.

Just then, the doorbell rang, interrupting their conversation. Gu Jinyan got up to open the door, and the person who came was his secretary, Secretary Lin.

"Mr. Gu, I have already delivered the document you requested." Secretary Lin said, handing a document to Gu Jinyan.

"Leave it there." Gu Jinyan took the document but did not open it. His eyes inadvertently swept behind Secretary Lin, as if he was expecting something.

After Secretary Lin left, Gu Jinyan sat back on the sofa, but never opened the document.

Su Li's question just now and what Tang Wan said this afternoon kept appearing in his mind.

"Jin Yan, do you still remember the first time we met? At that time you..." Secretary Lin deliberately did not close the door when she left. Her deliberately raised voice came from outside the door, and every word reminded Gu Jinyan of their past.

Su Li sat aside and saw Gu Jinyan's reaction clearly.

She knew that Tang Wan had said that to her on purpose in order to sow discord.

"Enough." Gu Jinyan stood up suddenly with a hint of impatience in his tone. He walked to the door, closed it, and blocked out the sound from outside.

"Are you okay?" Su Li looked at his back and asked softly.

"I'm fine." Gu Jinyan turned around and forced a smile on his face, "It's late, go to bed early."

Su Li nodded and said nothing more, but she could feel that Gu Jinyan was absent-minded.

The next day, Su Li encountered some troubles at the company.

The reform project she was in charge of was resisted by the company's old employees, and the project progress was very unsuccessful.

She wanted to discuss countermeasures with Gu Jinyan, but found that he was always in a meeting and had no time to pay attention to her.

After waiting for a long time for Gu Jinyan to finish the meeting, Su Li immediately stepped forward and told him about the problems encountered in the project.

"I know about this matter. I will handle it." Gu Jinyan's tone was light and he did not show much concern.

"But..." Su Li wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gu Jinyan.
