Chapter 387: Tonight He Holds Me in His Arms


    I really didn’t expect that he and I would end up here.


    Seeing the hard-earned orders turn to nothing in a blink, I felt an indescribable anger inside.


    I couldn’t hold back and directly pointed at Ding Yinuo’s nose and cursed.


    “Ding, do you realize how many clients I brought over to you for Tianjiao? And now you won’t leave even these trivial orders for me.”


    He wasn’t about to show weakness either,


    “How many clients you pulled in was your own choice, did I force you?”


    “Fine, Ding Yinuo, for you to say something like this, I’m really impressed! Great, I don’t want the order anymore, I’m leaving, alright?”


    I was so angry I didn’t even want the remaining orders, I just turned around and walked out.


    I felt that if I stayed even a second longer, I would explode with fury.


    I rushed to the hotel entrance, fuming with rage.<div>


    Wenya came after me and caught me,


    “Ayun, Ayun, let it go!”


    I let out a deep sigh,


    “I always thought that no matter what Ding Yinuo did or said, it couldn’t hurt me. But the truth is, my heart is indeed made of ss. I can’t do it. I’m still very upset, very angry.”


    Wenya patted my shoulder and softly tried to console me,


    “I understand how you feel. In that case, how about I go in and give him a beating?”


    By then, Su Peisheng had alsoe out,


    “Hey, Mr. Ding has been like a loose cannontely, firing randomly at everyone! Don’t take it to heart.”


    “Lawyer Su, don’tfort me! He’s only like this with me, can he be like that with others?”


    “No, let me tell you… he’s like this with everyone. Just now, all of my friends, they all feel he’s be a bit strangetely, very different from before. I don’t know what’s gone wrong with him.”


    I gave a rough analysis of Su Peisheng’s confusion.


    “I think, people need to grow, and I feel maybe he has. A man, after meeting a woman, especially one who has an influence on him, is bound to change.”


    “But…ah, forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore!”


    I wanted to be convincing, but I no longer had the energy. The unresolved entanglement with Ding Yinuo was exhausting me both mentally and physically.


    “Ayun, let us take you back!”


    Wenya signaled Su Peisheng to stop talking.


    Su Peisheng sighed helplessly, and then the two of them took me back to Beilu Hill.


    Although I appeared calm andposed in front of Wenya,


    My heart was actually filled with dejection.<div>


    In fact, deep down, it was difficult for me to ept Ding Yinuo’s transformation, which was also a form of betrayal…


    I didn’t want to worry Wenya, and I didn’t want her and Su Peisheng to argue over me, so I kept these unpleasant feelings suppressed and never let them out.


    Having not secured a single order, I was annoyed and took a bottle of red wine out of the fridge, pouring myself two sses.


    I had only intended to have a light drink, but I lost control and drank too much.<div>


    Wine, especially when you’re not in the best of spirits, tends to intoxicate more easily.


    After those two sses,


    I justy down on the sofa, raising my ss towards the ceiling, muttering to myself,


    “God, why did you let mee back? Why did you make me return? Do you want to torture me, watch me lose my lover, my child, then lose a friend too? Hahaha, you’re so cruel! Now I have nothing, all alone, I feel terrible! If you really have the power, then take me away too, I really can’t stand living in this world alone, I’m so sad, I don’t want this, I really don’t, I don’t want to live anymore, I don’t…”


    In a daze, I saw Gu Yuanzhou again.


    The light in the hall was dim, and Gu Yuanzhou sat in front of me, looking as if he were a part of a dream, yet he seemed particrly real.


    I reached out and waved my hand in front of his eyes.


    “Gu Yuanzhou, is that you?”


    A coolrge hand grasped mine, and then he took the wine ss from me.


    “Gu Yuanzhou… are you a ghost? Is there some injustice that has not been redressed? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Tell me, and I’ll help youplete them, okay?”


    At this moment, under the influence of alcohol, I was very confused, as if in a trance.


    He didn’t speak, only shook his head.


    “Gu Yuanzhou, can I touch your face, is that okay?”<div>


    He nodded.


    I slowly ced my hand on his cheek, gently caressing it. It was the familiar outline, the man I loved.


    As I touched his face, my tears also fell.


    “I’m sorry, Gu Yuanzhou, I really didn’t want you to die. I’m sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?”


    I couldn’t control my emotions, and tears streamed down my face.


    He took a tissue and gently wiped my tears.


    “Gu Yuanzhou, don’t worry, I won’t be down forever. I will take good care of Zhenyi Company.”


    “Gu Yuanzhou, is it very ufortable down there? Do you need me to burn some paper houses, paper money for you?”


    Upon saying this, he suddenly burst intoughter.


    “Alright, you can burn some paper money for me… if that would make you feel better.”


    “Wenya said that I should bury you as soon as possible. She said the deceased need to rest, but I can’t bear to bury you, what should I do?”


    “Then don’t bury me. Let me stay by your side…”


    “Gu Yuanzhou, I’m having such a hard time right now. Zhenyi Company is struggling every step of the way. I want to explore new worlds, but I keep hitting walls. I’m really stupid. I originally thought… that without you, I could still take Zhenyi Company to new heights by myself. But now I realize, without you, I simply can’t do it on my own. I really can’t manage.”<div>


    Perhaps it was because I had truly been suppressing those feelings for so long, at that moment, I let out all my grievances.


    He didn’t speak, just gently drew me into his embrace, resting his chin on top of my head, gently stroking my hair.


    Iy in his arms, crying until my voice was hoarse.


    As if wanting to vent all the grievances and discontent.


    “Gu Yuanzhou, I won’t let you die, I forbid you to die. Will youe back, okay? Come back and we can start over together, okay?”


    He was silent.


    He reached for the hairband behind my hair, removed it, and his fingers threaded through my hair, gentlybing it.


    At that moment, I was like a spoiled child, lying in his arms, holding him tightly, coveting the tenderness in his embrace, not wanting him to leave.


    I didn’t care whether he was a human or a ghost, or even if this was just a dream of mine; I just didn’t want him to leave.


    “Gu Yuanzhou, after death, is there really a hell? Can you take me with you, please?”


    “No, you should live your life well! You must carry on with Zhenyi Company…”


    “I can’t carry on, I really can’t do it!”


    “You can do it, you definitely can.”<div>


    “I can’t, without you, I can’t do anything!”


    “In the future, don’t drink too much alcohol. It’s not good for your health!”


    “Gu Yuanzhou, Gu Yuanzhou, Gu Yuanzhou…”


    I petntly nestled in his arms, calling his name over and over again.
