Shen Lingfeng stood in the office, looking out at the pouring rain, the room quiet and still.

He was surprised to receive a call from security.

"What’s the matter?"

"Are you busy now? I know this might be me meddling, but Miss Gu really..."

"Miss Gu?" Shen Lingfeng frowned, "What’s wrong with Miss Gu?"

"I don’t know, maybe she forgot her keys. She’s sitting alone on the steps downstairs. I invited her in, but she said she wanted some space. Mr. Shen, I don’t know what happened between you, but Miss Gu looks a bit pale, and where she’s sitting, the wind blows the rain right onto her."

"Is there no one else with her?"

"No, just her alone." The security officer recalled, "Earlier, a car dropped her off, and after it left, she’s been sitting there since."

"Let her in, I’ll be back right away... don’t mention me, just let her in."

"Okay, I’ll try. But Miss Gu seems uninterested in talking to anyone right now, very different from her usual self."

Shen Lingfeng hung up and immediately left the office.

What does Li Chaoxi mean, leaving her there alone?

Don’t make him regret letting go.

"You’re leaving?" Yang Xiao was about to head to his office, "That thing about going to Germany tomorrow..."

Shen Lingfeng walked quickly, not looking back, "Not going anymore."

Yang Xiao shrugged speechlessly, "Can I say I knew it would turn out like this?"

The security officer stood behind her for a moment, already having tried to persuade her several times, but Miss Gu still didn’t respond.

He had no choice but to take out an umbrella, but Miss Gu still shook her head.

"Please, just let me be quiet for a moment. I really don’t need this. A little rain might even wake me up a bit." Gu Ziyou said weakly, "I’m really fine, just not in a great mood."

The security officer was helpless, sighing, as Mr. Shen didn’t want him to mention him.

"Miss Gu, I really don’t know what happened between you and Mr. Shen. But seeing you like this, how could Mr. Shen not be upset? What problem can’t be solved?"

"Would he be upset?"

"Of course, don’t you know? Miss Gu, Mr. Shen is really good to you; I used to be so envious of you. I hardly get to see my girlfriend. She’s always waiting for me back home, but if I don’t come out to work, I can’t give her a good life. I think living together, seeing each other every day, is such a happy thing for you two. Miss Gu, please think about it."

Gu Ziyou nodded, "Thank you."

Is it that she’s asking for too much?

Initially she felt content, just being with him made her happy, being by his side every day was her greatest joy.

But as time went by, she realized she wanted more and more.

She wanted not just for him to be good to her, but hoped he would need her, hoped that in his life, she was the most important, the one he couldn’t do without.

Wishing he could love her the way she loves him...

Gu Ziyou covered her face with her hands, brushing away the cold rain on her cheeks.

The sourness in her eyes was unbearable, tears mixing with the rain.

She had never wanted something so much, even feeling that she might never be happy again.

Is it that she’s really too greedy?

Gu Ziyou wiped away her tears, originally intending to stand up, but looked up and saw someone walking towards her through the rain curtain.
