Torment.  

Pain.  

Every day, every moment.   

Spring has passed and autumn has come again. From the year we first met until now, nine full years have passed. The days of acting in a mask day after day day, so depressing that Pei Siyuan could not breathe, so depressing that he felt that he was not driven crazy is a miracle.   

But in such depressing days, he finally found a touch of sweetness for himself.

Some time ago, his close brother Xie Yingzhou returned to China and became his personal lawyer, and as described in the script, he and Xie Yingzhou planned a plan to retaliate against Gu Ningyou –  

A short-lived marriage, a complete scam, a trap that could drag her into hell.  

In the script, this marriage did not originate from love, and ended up with a tragic ending, but for him, this was what he was most looking forward to the most. In the end, he was just an ordinary man who wanted to be with his beloved, longing to enter the hall of marriage with the woman he loved and stay together until old age.  

Pei Siyuan had never seen a girl as simple as Gu Ningyou who was so simple that he felt distressed. Obviously, he had treated her so badly for so many years, but when he told her that he really wanted to be with her, she still agreed without hesitation.  

No rings, no flowers, he just asked that, and as if she was afraid that he would go back on his word, she agreed without hesitation to get the certificate with him.  

He went home with her to see her parents, gave them the gifts he had prepared, and did everything a qualified son-in-law should do.   

All the way from the Civil Affairs Bureau to the way home, her eyes were red.  

“Don’t cry, be good.” After returning home with her, he sat on the sofa with her, let her lean against his arms, and coaxed her gently, “Crying just after receiving the certificate, people who don’t know will think we got a divorce certificate.”   

“What.” Gu Ningyou was finally amused by him, she stroked the red marriage certificate in her hand, her eyes were full of joy, “I just feel like I’m still dreaming… Yuan, are we really married? “   

“Of course we are.” Finally, there was a moment where he could speak his heart again. Pei Siyuan cherished it very much, and wished to tell her all his love, “Ningning, I really want to be together with you, the past…let it go, okay?”  

“Well…” Gu Ningyou nodded with a blushing face, but she seemed to have discovered something suddenly, she raised her head and stared at him, “Yuan… Yuan, what did you call me just now?”  

“Ningning.” He had long wanted to call her that, and Pei Siyuan said from his heart, “I don’t want to call you Youyou, Xiaoyou like others… I want to be that special person. “  

“You have always been the most special person for me.” Gu Ningyou lowered her head shyly again, she rarely saw such a gentle Pei Siyuan, the sincerity and love in his eyes overwhelmed, “Then we… will be together forever?”  

“Yes.” Pei Siyuan felt his throat was a bit sour, “Ning Ning, I always have you in my heart, and I don’t want to be separated from you for the rest of my life.”  

Gu Ningyou responded to him in a small voice, “Me too.”   

This morning, they spent an intimate time at home, facing him, Gu Ningyou seemed to have endless words to say, she talked about her dream of traveling around the world, and also mentioned that the place she wanted to go most was the Alps, and he also stayed with her patiently, not feeling the least bit boring.  

When he went to work in the afternoon, Pei Siyuan was still reluctant to give up. Looking back on his more than 20 years of life, he had never had such a relaxed and happy moment, so happy that he couldn’t bear to break it…  

“So what do you mean now?” In the office, Xie Yingzhou looked at him with a calm expression, “You don’t intend to implement our plan?”   

“No.” Pei Siyuan was silent before adding, “I just want to… wait a bit.”   

When he was with Gu Ningyou in the morning, he promised that he would make time to accompany her on her trip, so ……   

He just wanted to keep his promise.   

He just didn’t want to turn his face so fast, and he didn’t want to make her sad so soon.

He just wanted to be with the girl he loves for a while longer, just for a while.  

“Wait for a while? That’s not what you said at the beginning, Pei Siyuan, what exactly are you thinking?” Xie Yingzhou suddenly found that he never really understood what his friend was thinking and an unbelievable guess even surfaced in his heart, “Don’t tell me, you suddenly found out that you really fell in love with Gu Ningyou?”  

Pei Siyuan vehemently denied: “I did not.”  

“Then come to me when you think the time is right, don’t waste my time again.”  

Xie Yingzhou coldly dropped these words and turned to leave, and the two eventually parted unhappily.  

After Xie Yingzhou left, Pei Siyuan was alone, dealing with the company’s documents, but his mind was not there.  

He really wanted to rush home right now. It hasn’t been long since they separated and he missed her again.  

After seeing him, she will definitely rush over to hug him and act coquettishly at him, then he will give her a kiss, and then…  

Pei Siyuan was thinking about the scene after returning home, the phone on the side lit up and a piece of news popped up.  

Pei Siyuan picked up the phone and wanted to swipe it directly, but he accidentally clicked on the news interface. He casually swept a glance, did not care very much, but after seeing a certain picture, his heart suddenly trembled, he clicked that picture open wide –  

Wasn’t this Gu Ningcheng’s car?  

Although the license plate number was coded, he recognized the car body. He flipped through other pictures and saw the messy crash site, blood all over the ground, and… Gu Ningcheng’s clothes.

“At three o’clock this afternoon, a serious car accident occured on XX Road. A heavy truck collided head-on with a private car. The truck driver died on the spot, and the owner of the car was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The cause of the accident is still unknown, we will continue to follow up on the results…”

Gu Ningcheng had a car accident, just half an hour ago, when Xie Yingzhou just left his office…  

How could there be such a coincidence?  

There wasn’t much traffic on that road, and it wasn’t a rush hour now… Why did Gu Ningcheng have a car accident all of a sudden?  

Pei Siyuan looked at the video of the accident that was unintentionally taken by passers-by. In the video, the truck was driving fine, and there was no chance of it colliding with Gu Ningcheng’s car, but in the blink of an eye, the truck turned around suddenly and crashed straight into Gu Ningcheng’s car!   

This car accident was simply too weird. It didn’t look like an accident at all, but like a deliberate murder…

But someone like Gu Ningcheng who was honest and responsible, how could anyone want to harm him?
