Chapter 217 Not worthy of her
When he closed his eyes and opened them again, Gu Cheng returned to his usual self, still as shrewd as ever, single-mindedly focused on himself and protecting the Gu family.
"Go out, I'll go look for him in the next couple of days."
Yun Huan saw that although Gu Cheng hadn't made it as clear as he'd said openly, he had agreed to go see Xiao Mingkun. So she happily returned to her room to see if she should buy a few more sets of the latest fashionable women's clothes to wear when she met him.
At that moment, Yun Shu was on the phone.
"Yun Shu, I want a divorce!" It was Sheng Huainan's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Really? Congratulations!" Yun Shu said sincerely, raising an eyebrow.
"Hehe, some people congratulate me on the divorce, but I'm very happy. I can finally get rid of that woman!" Huainan said with emotion. He'll be free once the divorce is finalized.
"Huainan, Yiyi... she's coming back, in the next few days." After Huainan's divorce, Yunshu thought that he and Yiyi might be able to get back together.
"She...isn't it supposed to be another six months? But when she comes back...I have nothing to do with her anymore..." If he hadn't gone for a checkup three months ago, he might have been with that woman. Now...he doesn't dare to delay her, afraid that being with her would deprive her of her right to be a mother. His mother and Gu Yunle at home have been giving him a hard time, and he doesn't plan to get married again in this life.
"This is your business, I don't know either. If possible, you can try to accept Yiyi. She is a very good girl, and I know you like her very much. Why not give each other a chance?"
"You don't understand, I'm not good enough for her..." After a few seconds of silence, she continued, "How are things between you and Xiao Mingkun? Are you still living at Xu Ruo's house?"
"No, I bought my own apartment and moved out. I've also found a nanny for Beibei, and I can go back to work tomorrow. As for Mingkun and me, let's leave it at that for now! Me and him... I don't know what the future holds..."
Thinking of the man she once loved who slammed the door and left that morning, Yun Shu still felt a pang of heartache. She had so much to do; she couldn't just be a stay-at-home mom and mother to meet his demands. Their values were different, and forcing them to stay together wouldn't be good for either of them.
After hanging up the phone, the apartment next door was quiet; not even the lights were on. It was past 9 PM and he still hadn't returned; he was probably working overtime. She had read about Nancheng's history online over the past few years and knew that what Xu Ruo said wasn't an exaggeration at all. Mingkun was no longer what he used to be; his current status was all thanks to his hard work and countless overtime hours, so she had never wanted to be a burden to him.
Beibei was asleep. She took out her medical books and started reading. She had studied abroad for two more years before starting work in her third year. She and Yiyi also had investments overseas, so she had money on hand. She could take a year or two off after returning home, but she didn't want to lose her stable job at the hospital. After having Beibei, she wanted to give him a better life; she wanted to give him everything other children had, except for the fatherly love she owed him, which she could never make up for…
I stared at the medical book in my hand for a long time, but I couldn't read a single word.
After checking on Beibei and seeing that she hadn't kicked off the covers, I went to get her pajamas and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
She has to go to work early tomorrow morning, so she needs to go to bed early. It'll be her first day back at work, and she'll need to hand over responsibilities to someone. Fortunately, Director Liang from back then is still there, so she's at ease. Director Liang has always been very kind to her, and now that she's back and working under her again, she's not so worried. As for the company she and Yiyi invested in overseas, Yiyi has already entrusted it to professionals to manage; they don't need to worry about it.
Xu Ruo's restaurant has been quite profitable in recent years. The house and car were bought with the profits from her share of the restaurant. Only now does Yun Shu feel more at ease. With a house, a car, and savings, she no longer has to worry about money.
Yun Shu went to take a shower, while Ming Kun, having drunk too much, was helped to a guest room by his assistant to rest for a while.
That evening was a gathering of CEOs from prestigious companies throughout the southern part of the city. Perhaps because he was in a bad mood, he didn't refuse any toasts offered to him and unknowingly drank too much. His assistant booked this room for him. Lying in bed, his mind was a jumbled mess, and he just wanted to sleep.
"Is Mingkun inside?" Li Yuerou had been keeping an eye on Mingkun all night. She saw that he had drunk too much and was being helped upstairs to a guest room by his assistant. She went upstairs shortly after and sure enough, she saw Mingkun's assistant guarding the door.
The assistant nodded.
"Go downstairs and get something to eat. I'll watch over Mingkun here." Li Yuerou wanted to get rid of the assistant.
“This…” Mingkun’s assistant hesitated. The president had just said not to let anyone in to disturb him.
"Go down. Who am I to Mingkun? Don't you trust me?" Li Yuerou was secretly relieved. Mingkun hadn't announced their breakup yet. They had only broken up yesterday, and she was sure that even his assistant probably didn't know they had really broken up.
Upon entering, one immediately sees Mingkun lying on the large bed, fast asleep without even taking off his shoes and coat.
Upon closer inspection, she saw that he was frowning and had his eyes closed, clearly drunk. Seeing this, a glint flashed in Li Yuerou's eyes.
This man actually got married, but so what? He and his wife must have had problems, otherwise they wouldn't have been separated for three years. And in all these years, no one outside knew he had a wife. Perhaps she's too ugly to be seen in public, or perhaps she's in poor health and has been undergoing treatment and doesn't want too many people to know.
Even drunk, he remained incredibly handsome and aloof. She had liked him for over a year, only having the chance to meet him six months ago. They were about to get engaged when he suddenly changed his mind. Now, if she could just consummate their relationship and have his child, his wife would be hers sooner or later. As for whether he had an ex-wife, she could simply persuade him to divorce her.
So the man became bolder and started by taking off the man's clothes.
"Mingkun, wake up, I'm taking off your clothes!" Before he could react, Li Yuerou started taking off his coat.
Mingkun had a terrible headache. Someone was helping him take off his clothes, but he only thought of it as an assistant and ignored everything else, letting them take them off.
Li Yuerou called out to Mingkun several times, but seeing that he was so drunk that he couldn't even open his eyes, she was secretly pleased. The more drunk he was, the better, as long as it didn't interfere with their business. If he was like this, he wouldn't suspect that she had climbed into his bed on her own initiative tomorrow.
Just as he took off his coat, he heard Mingkun calling, "Yun Shu... Yun Shu..." His whole body was hot, but his hands were icy cold and felt so good to touch that he couldn't help but grab them. He smelled perfume and, thinking it was Yun Shu, turned around and suddenly found himself pinning the woman in front of him down...
