Sheng Shi felt his current emotional state was indescribable. He thought about how Gu Lanshan had not resisted or fought against his teasing and intrusions last night, which faintly gave him a glimmer of hope. Yet, the thought of her visiting Mrs. Han over the weekend and speaking so highly of Han Chengchi plunged him back into an endless darkness, unable to find a way out.
He had always been full of confidence about getting what he wanted, as if it was destined to be his, even when they got divorced. He had thought of truly letting go of Gu Lanshan because he wanted her to be happy and well. But in the end, her slight initiative to kiss him had immediately dispelled that thought.
He thought he had set her free, allowing her to live the life she wanted. She had left Beijing, then returned, and he had not interfered at all. He quietly stood behind her, watching her until she took the initiative to call him, asking for his help to pretend to be her husband and meet Ye Yao.
