Translator: 549690339
From a distance, I watched the petite and delicate woman, her smile warm and tender.
She was sitting by the hospital bed, holding a book in her hand and gently reading aloud.
Gu Yuanzhou lay in the bed.
His eyes often closed to rest, occasionally opening to glance at her.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come here?” he said, his voice deep, tinged with a hint of concern.
Ye Mengyan whispered apologetically,
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to disregard your words. I just felt anxious seeing you sick with no one here to look after you.”
A sensitively phrased response that simply felt soothing.
Perhaps it’s this kind of tenderness that all men adore.
I stopped in my tracks, backed off to the door, and leaned against the wall, watching.
“It’s not appropriate! ”
“Brother Gu, Sister Song is no longer here! You should forget about the past pains and start a new life.”
Gu Yuanzhou remained silent.
Ye Mengyan continued to speak…
Her voice was soft and gentle.
“Brother Gu, is the wound deep? It must hurt a lot, right? Can I have a look?”
“I’ve prepared a pot of fish congee for you. My mother said it will help in wound recovery! Let me feed you.”
“Brother Gu, does your head still ache? Can I massage it for you?”
Ye Mengvan was an extremely sensible and well-tempered girl. She never did
anything to anger Gu Yuanzhou.
And I thought, were I a successful businessman, I would also want such a gentle and delightful confidante by my side.
In this moment, suddenly, a cry was heard. It was Ye Mengyan.
Her sobs were soft and delicate.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Yuanzhou asked with concern.
“I’m sorry, Brother Gu, I should not be acting like this when you are sick. I shouldn’t have… I wasn’t able to hold back…
“What happened?”
Ye Mengyan spoke through her sobs,
“l can’t say it. If 1 do, I would just trouble you more! Please pretend I didn’t say anything.”
“What happened?” Gu Yuanzhou’s voice was clearly getting anxious.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Mengyan finally spoke.
“Someone…someone let out a rumor that I’m the other woman. My classmates misunderstood me, they called me a lowlife! These past few days at school, they’ve been pointing fingers at me. l… I’m really upset!’
“Give me a list of their names, I will take care of it. Don’t cry. Everything will be over by tomorrow.”
“I’m sorry, Brother Gu, for causing you trouble!”
“If anyone bullies you in the future, you have to tell me.”
Listening to their exchange, I stiffly leaned my back against the wall, not daring to move.
Until a doctor called out to me.
“Oh, it’s you, Assistant Song! The patient can’t just walk out of the hospital anymore, his condition is quite serious. If the wound gets infected again, it could be life-threatening.”
It was Gu Yuanzhou!s attending physician, he recognized me.
I forced a smile and exchanged a few pleasantries. After he left, Ye Mengyan had already walked out of the hospital room.
Our eyes met!
Her face was slightly awkward as she softly asked,
“Did you come to see President Gu?”
“Yes, there’s a document he needs to sign. If you guys are still talking, I can come back tomorrow! ”
“No problem, I’ve finished talking! Go ahead, I’ll be leaving first!”
Ye Mengyan gave me a meaningful glance before turning around to leave.
I walked into the ward with the documents.
“President Gu, I will leave the document here on the table, look at it when you’re feeling better tomorrow! ”
Gu Yuanzhou’s eyes remained closed as usual, seemingly pondering over something; he nodded in response.
Seeing as he had no further instructions, I excused myself,
“President Gu, I’m leaving now. Please rest early.”
As I walked out of the hospital, a silhouette emerged from the shadows and approached me.
Under the streetlight, I recognized it was indeed Ye Mengyan.
As she must have been crying earlier, Ye Mengyan’s eyes were still wet. Her eyelashes, stained with tears, gave her a pitiful look.
“Xiaoyun, let’s talk!”
Her voice was also soft, as if she was afraid of scaring someone.
I was also curious about what she had to say.
Ye Mengyan appeared quite reserved.
She lowered her head to look at her phone; it seemed someone was calling her but she didn’t want to answer.
But the person kept calling.
She rejected the call five times…
“Is it Shen Yishu?” She nodded,
“Are you close to him?”
“He’s a journalist, a very creative young man! He once interviewed Gu
Yuanzhou and is often seen outside our company!’
I didn’t hide anything about how I knew Shen Yishu.
Ye Mengyan didn’t seem surprised.
Since she was paying so much attention to Gu Yuanzhou, it wasn’t strange that she knew about Shen Yishu being frequently seen at the Zhenyi Company. Maybe she didn’t pay much attention to Shen Yishu, as all she did was respond with a noncommittal ‘oh’.
We hadn’t walked far when Ye Mengyan led me to a café near the university town.
We ordered two cappuccinos and Ye Mengyan let out a sigh.
“There’s something I want to discuss with you… I’m in a dilemma.”
“What is it?”
I had initially thought she would want to talk about Gu Yuanzhou.
Instead, she started talking about Shen Yishu.
“Shen Yishu and I grew up together. We are both from Qingcheng and our families were neighbors. After my father had died in an accident, our financial state crumbled and my mother, being sickly, was unable to support us. We often received financial aid from Yishu, but his family wasn’t wealthy either, so what he could provide was very limited. But, he was always making efforts! ”
I nodded in understanding…
I could see that Shen Yishu was truly a good man.
Something that made him the perfect choice for a life-long partner.
Ye Mengyan continued, “Later, I went to university and met Brother Gu. He was a good person, always generous! Each time I faced a hardship, he didn’t hesitate to help.
I was skeptical, picturing a high-handed CEO using money as bait to lure the naive young girl… Yes, a common enough tactic.
“Especially when my mother was hospitalized, he helped me greatly. 1 was grateful to him and always wanted to repay his kindness.”
“And then?”
Ye Mengyan nodded,
“Yes, when he made a special request to me, I agreed. Then after feeling guilty, I broke up with Yishu. I knew Yishu was good to me, but I couldn’t juggle two men at the same time.’ I think I understood.
“Special request?”
Ye Mengyan blushed, nodded and whispered, the softness of her voice making it sound particularly shy and difficult for her to articulate.
“Brother Gu has a special hobby that only I can fulfill! He said that he couldn’t find this kind of comfort with any other person apart from me.”
“Special hobby?”
I repeated once again.
Thinking about it, after being married to Gu Yuanzhou for so many years, I cannot think of any hobby that I didn’t already know about..
