Returning to the company, he was busy until evening. Gu Beixian loosened his tie with a raise of his hand, his gaze cold and clear as he looked at his assistant, 'Did you find out what I asked for?' The assistant replied, 'President Gu, Shen Huai doesn't have a nickname. His family just calls him Shen Huai, or Xiao Huai.' The coldness in Gu Beixian's eyes faded slightly, as if he had expected it. A Yao was the man deeply buried in Su Huan's heart. Before she got divorced, she wouldn't easily be seen with him. She wasn't old, but she always knew her boundaries. Gu Beixian pushed his chair back, stood up, and buttoned his suit with one hand, saying, 'Someone else will take my place at the dinner with President Huo tonight. I have other things to do.' 'Okay, President Gu.' The assistant helped him tidy up the documents on the desk. Leaving the Gu Corporation building, Gu Beixian drove to the Antique Street. As the sun sank and the sky grew dark, he sat in his car and called Su Huan, 'I'm outside your shop, come out.' Su Huan's slightly surprised voice came through the phone, 'We're having dinner outside, a colleague's gathering.' 'Who's all there?' 'All the colleagues from the shop.' 'Is Shen Huai there too?' 'Yes, he's the young master of our shop.' Thinking of the two of them laughing and talking together at noon, the displeasure in Gu Beixian's heart began to rise, but his voice remained unflappable, 'Call me when you're done eating, I'll come pick you up.' 'Thanks.' Her tone was restrained and distant, as if she was deliberately keeping her distance from him. Gu Beixian felt a bit uncomfortable listening, his hand gripping the phone slightly tighter. After hanging up, he dialed Xiao Yi's number, 'Come out, let's drink.' 'My brother, what time is it to start drinking?'

Xiao Yi spoke with a lazy and indulgent tone, as if he hadn't even gotten out of bed yet. Gu Bei Xian's voice was sharp and profound: 'Bring the company seal and the land sale contract, and be at Jin Chao Zui within half an hour. No waiting if you're late.' Xiao Yi swept away his sleepiness, 'Alright! Brother, I'll be right there!' Half an hour later, at Jin Chao Zui, in the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion. A dark crowd of people were bustling about, signing contracts, going through procedures, transferring money. After finishing, everyone withdrew, leaving only Gu Bei Xian and Xiao Yi. The fair and handsome man sat lazily, his arm loosely draped over the back of the chair, casting a sidelong glance at Gu Bei Xian with his beautiful peach blossom eyes, 'Bad mood?' Gu Bei Xian took a sip of wine, nonchalantly, 'Not really.' His hand holding the wine glass was cold, white, and slender, stunningly beautiful. 'Tsk, you come out to drink alone when you're upset, and you say it's not really? When others are in a bad mood, they go out to find women for pleasure, but you, you just buy a piece of land, what a big spender. Next time you're feeling down, remember to look for me, my old man still has several plots of land up his sleeve,' Xiao Yi teased. 'Don't treat me like a fool. I was planning to sign this contract anyway, just a week earlier,' Gu Bei Xian put down his wine glass. Xiao Yi picked up the white porcelain wine bottle and poured him more wine, 'I heard Chu Suo Suo is back in the country, you two have been getting quite close lately?' Gu Bei Xian lifted his eyelids, 'What do you want to say, just say it.' 'Su Huan is a good girl, don't let her down,' Xiao Yi's eyes were fixed on him, unusually serious for once. Gu Bei Xian's fingers tapped the table lightly, smiling faintly, 'Back then when I wanted to marry her, who was it that despised her so much, saying she wasn't worthy of me, and now what's changed?'

"At that time, I thought she was covetous of vanity, willing to marry anyone for money. Later, I realized it wasn't the case; she genuinely cared for you. Any gold-digger would have taken the money and run after a short while, not stuck around to slave away and take care of you for so long." Gu Beixian's profound eyes were dark and deep, "She is quite nice." "Then why do you still..." Gu Beixian lowered his gaze, staring at the clear liquor in his cup, his tone extremely indifferent, "Such an outstanding young lady, forced to marry me three years ago because her family needed money. She never said it, but she must have felt aggrieved inside. I've let her feel aggrieved for three years; I don't want to keep her in that state any longer." Xiao Yi was surprised, "Just because of this, you want to divorce her?" "Pretty much." Xiao Yi felt regret, "Such a good girl, are you willing to let her go?" "What else can I do?" Gu Beixian's face was expressionless, but a dark shadow began to gather in the depths of his eyes. He couldn't keep her by his side forever, watching her suffer from nightmares, calling out for her 'Ah Yao Ge' in her dreams. He couldn't bear to see her in pain. Nor could he stand the shame; he was a man, a man who couldn't tolerate any grit in his eyes. But really, to let go, he couldn't bear it. It was quite contradictory. Gu Beixian pinched the wine glass and brought it to his lips, downing the remaining liquor in one gulp. The baijiu was spicy, slicing through his throat like a knife. It stuck in his chest, burning fiercely. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Xiao Yi shouted, "Come in."

The person pushed the door and entered. With an oval face and delicate, charming features, she wore a white bubble sleeve tulle princess shirt tucked into a tight skirt, adorned with a full set of Cartier jewelry, an armful of Chanel jacket draped over her arm, and carried a Hermes ostrich leather bag. It was Chu Suosuo. Seeing her, Gu Beixian's eyes cooled slightly, 'Why are you here?' Chu Suosuo swayed her slender waist and walked gracefully behind him, her arm resting on the back of his chair. She leaned forward, her red lips lightly brushing against his ear, breathing sweetly like orchids, 'I heard that Brother Beixian is also dining here, so I came over to say hello.' Gu Beixian's ear itched from the warm breath she exhaled, and he shifted to the side to avoid it. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, he said indifferently, 'Have a seat.' 'Thank you, Brother Beixian.' Chu Suosuo pulled out a chair and sat down, draping her jacket over the back of the chair. The waiter immediately served her a set of utensils. Gu Beixian pushed the menu in front of her, 'Order whatever you want.' Chu Suosuo glanced at the full table of dishes, pushed the menu away, and smiled sweetly, 'No need to order, I love whatever Brother Beixian loves.' Xiao Yi raised his hand to wipe the goosebumps that had broken out on his arm. Chu Suosuo turned a plate of Arctic sweet shrimp towards herself, her big eyes looking at Gu Beixian affectionately, 'Brother Beixian, I want to eat shrimp.' Xiao Yi curled his lips, 'Don't you have hands?' Chu Suosuo puffed up her cheeks, looking aggrieved, 'I've never peeled shrimp by myself since I was a child. At home, it's my parents who peel them for me. Whenever I've come out to eat with Brother Beixian before, it's always been him who peeled them for me.'

She reached out to coil around Gu Beixian's arm, coquettishly, her voice dripping with sweetness, 'Beixian bro, I want to eat the shrimp you peel. Please peel some for me.' Gu Beixian glanced at her indifferently out of the corner of his eye, withdrew his arm, put on a disposable glove, and picked up a shrimp from the plate to peel. For some reason, the image of Su Huan peeling shrimp for him flashed through his mind. Her hands were extremely skillful; the shrimp meat was peeled out while the shell remained intact. He had tried several times but couldn't do it. After peeling one, he pinched the shrimp meat and placed it on the plate in front of Chu Suosuo. Suddenly, Chu Suosuo squatted down, catching the shrimp in his hand with her mouth, deliberately including his fingers as well. Her tongue gently circled the tip of his finger, sucking and kissing lightly. With eyes moist and full of desire, she looked at him, her brows and eyes brimming with passion. She quickly spat out his fingers, gave him a seductive smile, lightly bit the shrimp meat, and said softly, 'The shrimp peeled by Beixian bro's own hands are really delicious.' Gu Beixian's expression slightly stiffened, unable to discern what he was feeling. He removed the disposable glove from his hand and threw it aside. Then he picked up the disinfectant towel on the table and wiped the finger that she had sucked. Xiao Yi's body broke out in a layer of goosebumps; he really wanted to slap her. The guy wasn't even divorced yet, and she was already being promiscuous without bounds! Flaunting herself in front of him, did she treat him, a living person, as thin air? Xiao Yi grabbed his phone and quickly sent a text message to Su Huan: Sister-in-law, your husband has had too much to drink, he's going crazy with alcohol, not even sober, come and pick him up.

We are drunk in the present, in the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion on the third floor. Su Huan was having a dinner with colleagues at the Kyoto Grand Hotel when she received a message and called Xiao Yi, wanting to ask for some clarification. Because Gu Beixian has always had a good tolerance for alcohol, she had never seen him act wildly when drunk in her memory. The phone rang once and was hung up by Xiao Yi. Su Huan pulled up Gu Beixian's mobile number, just about to dial out. Suddenly, another text message from Xiao Yi popped up on her phone: 'Sister-in-law, come quickly! Hurry, hurry! It's extremely urgent!' Su Huan's heart skipped a beat.
