"Dear Baby, I know that you always forget to eat on time when you are at work. I don't want you to eat leftovers in the canteen, so I sent you a love bento. Remember to eat on time. Your Su!"
Her colleagues exclaimed, "Wow, this gentleman is such a smooth talker. Such a gentle and considerate man is really hard to find."
"Do you think our dispassionate doctor, Miss Yan Shu, will be won over by this gentleman?"
"That depends on whether this gentleman can persevere. After all, our Doctor Yan is someone who loves her career instead of young handsome men."
Gu Yucheng couldn't believe that the woman he had discarded like an old shoe was now someone else's beloved. It felt as if he had overlooked a precious gem right in front of him.
He glanced at the vibrant roses and the delectable dishes and thought that it was a pity. No matter how much money and effort this man spent on going after Yan Shu, she would not be moved.
Yan Shu was deeply in love with him, and she wouldn't fall for any other man. She always kept a distance from men she was not interested in.
However, Yan Shu's actions surprised him. With a smile, she placed the flowers in an empty vase and carefully filled it with water.
Then, she spread out the food and picked up her chopsticks to eat with relish.
At that moment, Gu Yucheng felt very upset, so he lowered his head and left.
Yan Shu inadvertently looked up and saw Gu Yucheng's dejected figure. A hint of mistiness appeared in her eyes.
Compared to Bo Su's gentleness and meticulousness, Gu Yucheng, whom she had guarded for ten years, had never been so attentive towards her.
It turned out that she had been too naive. She thought that Gu Yucheng's words about being together for the rest of their lives were the most beautiful love letters she had ever heard. Because of those love words, she devoted herself without any reservations.
Now, she knew why he had stayed by her side all this while. It was all because of her financial support for him. He didn't care about her at all. Otherwise, why hadn't he done the things that Bo Su just did for her?
Yan Shu suddenly felt that the past ten years were especially ridiculous. The relationship she found unforgettable was nothing more than a terrible period of her life.
As Yan Shu ate, she took out her phone. She opened her social media app and deleted all the photos from the past ten years, and cleared out all the posts on her WeChat Moments. The past ten years had become a blank slate.
Her actions caused a stir among Yan Shu and Gu Yucheng's friends on WeChat. They all left comments in their class group chat. "Why did Yan Shu delete Gu Yucheng's photos?"
"Did the immortal couple quarrel?"
"Gu Yucheng, if you lose Yan Shu, you'll regret it. There's no girl in this world who treats you better than Yan Shu."
Amidst the myriad of profiles, an unfamiliar profile suddenly appeared. She unleashed her full power and started to rebut everyone: "Yanshu probably didn't love Gu Yucheng that much; otherwise, why haven't they lived together after ten years? If she was willing to have children with him, that would be true love!"
Someone immediately responded to her comment. "What's the big deal about a woman who's willing to have children with a man before marriage? That's just being a foolish romantic. Our Yanshu can pamper Gu Yucheng, the top student, but will never act like a lovesick fool. That's the wisdom of a modern independent woman."
The new profile suddenly disappeared from the group chat.
There was a commotion in the group chat. "Who was that person just now? She doesn't seem to be from our class. Is she a family member of someone? Please come and claim her. At the same time, ask her to watch her mouth. It seemed as if she couldn't wait for the most enviable immortal couple in our class to break up. Her attitude is problematic. We should promote patching up instead of splitting up." The class monitor spoke up in the group chat.
When Gu Yucheng saw the comments in the group, he called Wang Ziwen with displeasure.
"Ziwen, who allowed you to spout nonsense in our class group chat?"
Wang Ziwen felt very aggrieved. She said in between sobs, "Yucheng, when are you going to announce our relationship? I feel so upset when they misunderstood that you and Yan Shu are still a couple." Her voice was very coquettish and she was careful not to overstep the boundaries.
"In any case, Yan Shu has already deleted all the photos of you two as a couple. And your classmates have started to suspect something. Why don't you take the opportunity to tell them the truth?"
Gu Yucheng said tiredly, "I got it."
After hanging up, Gu Yucheng thought for a moment and posted on his WeChat Moments, "Dear classmates, I'll buy everyone dinner tonight at the sidewalk food stall. I have something to announce to everyone."
His classmates agreed readily. "Okay. It's rare for top student Gu to be so generous. We should all give him some face."
After Yan Shu got off work, Gu Yucheng waited for her outside the consultation room.
"Yan Shu, come with me to the class reunion tonight. We'll tell our classmates about our breakup so that they won't continue to misunderstand." His tone was commanding, as if Yan Shu was still the girl who did everything he asked her to.
Yan Shu said angrily with a cold expression, "Why go through so much trouble? You can just announce your relationship with Wang Ziwen."
Gu Yucheng was dumbfounded. Yan Shu used to listen to his every word. He didn't expect her to stand up to him right after they broke up. "Yan Shu, I know you're very sad that I broke up with you. But this matter is set in stone. How long are you going to fuss over this?"
"I won't give you much longer to get used to a life without me. After all, the child in Ziwen's stomach can't wait."
Yan Shu took out her phone and typed a message in the class group chat. "Gu Yucheng and I have broken up. From now on, I have nothing to do with him. The only relationship we have is between a creditor and a debtor."
Then, Yan Shu looked up at Gu Yucheng. "Are you satisfied now?"
When Gu Yucheng saw this message, his face darkened.
Yan Shu shook him off and strode towards the entrance of the hospital.
A black Mercedes-Benz drove up and stopped right beside Yan Shu. The window rolled down slowly and Bo Su was seated elegantly in the driver's seat.
Yan Shu did not even notice the joy that rose in her heart. "Bo Su, why are you here?"
"Shushu, get in the car."
Yan Shu opened the door and got into the car.
Bo Su looked at Yan Shu with a solemn expression and said, "Shushu, I want to bring you somewhere. I'll send you home after this. Is that okay?"
Yan Shu nodded.
The car roared away.
The car soon stopped in front of a group of old garden villas. These garden villas were once the most expensive properties in the city several decades ago, not only because of their prime location in a high-quality school district but also due to the well-established commercial facilities nearby. However, with the city's development moving towards the south over the years, this area had become old and worn out.
Many young people disliked the outdated facilities and outlook of old neighborhoods, so they prefer to buy houses in the new city center. These older residential areas were mostly inhabited by elderly folks.
Yan Shu thought to herself that old villas of this type must have been bought by the elders of the Bo family for their children and grandchildren.
Bo Su's voice was a little hoarse. "Shushu, this will be our matrimonial home. Perhaps it might not meet all your requirements, but it holds great significance for me. I want to set up home here."
After saying that, Bo Su looked at Yan Shu expectantly.
