Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 417 "So I have absolutely no chance?"

Gu Yunzhou hummed in agreement, somewhat puzzled as to why Liu Yuan was there.

Is it because of him?
"Comrade Liu Yuan, what brings you here?" Gu Yunzhou asked, unsure of what was going on.

Liu Yuan paused, then looked at Gu Yunzhou's face and said, "Comrade Gu, I... I have something I'd like to say to you. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

Gu Yunzhou understood; Liu Yuan wanted to speak to her alone, but...

"Then let's go to my yard."

His yard wasn't outside, so there were no outsiders there, but his family members were in the living room.

The family can see it from afar, but probably can't hear it.

So when Liu Yuan walked into the courtyard of the villa, she saw Gu Yunzhou's mother in the living room.

Yao Chunhua was somewhat surprised by Liu Yuan's appearance, but seeing that she had come to see her son, she nodded and then lowered her head to continue with her work.

Liu Yuan and Yao Chunhua naturally knew each other.

Previously, when the Liu family sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, Yao Chunhua even went to the supply and marketing cooperative to see Liu Yuan.

To be honest, she had a good impression of Liu Yuan.

Being her daughter-in-law wouldn't be bad.

But if the third child doesn't like it, there's nothing that can be done.

Although she didn't know why Liu Yuan had come, Yao Chunhua believed that the third brother could handle it.

Liu Yuan smiled bitterly to herself, thinking, "Gu Yunzhou, you really don't give me a single chance."

"Comrade Liu, do you have anything to say?" Gu Yunzhou asked, unaware of Liu Yuan's thoughts.

Liu Yuan composed herself and looked up at Gu Yunzhou. "It's been a long time, Comrade Gu Yunzhou. You are still as spirited as ever."

"I heard you've been selected to study in Country A on a government scholarship?"

Gu Yunzhou hummed in agreement.

"Will this departure last for 4-5 years?"

"Ah."

"Then, what about your marriage? Won't your uncle and aunt urge you to get married?"

Gu Yunzhou frowned slightly, feeling that Liu Yuan's question was somewhat offensive.

After all, he and Liu Yuan weren't exactly close; they were just acquaintances and colleagues.

However, when they worked at the supply and marketing cooperative, they only had occasional contact and were not very familiar with each other.

Therefore, asking about someone's marriage right away is indeed a bit inappropriate.

But Gu Yunzhou was also incredibly clever.

He listened to Liu Yuan's question and looked into her eyes.

Recalling Liu Yuan's subtle affection for him from a long time ago, Gu Yunzhou instantly understood.

Could it be that Liu Yuan still has such thoughts?
Sure enough, the next second, Liu Yuan said, "If, if you're in a hurry to get married, could you consider me?"

Looking at Liu Yuan, whose hands were clasped together, she was both nervous and expectant.

Gu Yunzhou thought to himself: Just as I expected.

but……

"Comrade Liu, I'm not in a hurry to get married, my parents aren't pressuring me, and I don't have any plans to get married for the time being, so..."

Before Gu Yunzhou could finish speaking, Liu Yuan's tears began to fall.

"So, I still have absolutely no chance?"

Gu Yunzhou nodded. "Comrade Liu, I didn't expect you to still be in the past, but I really don't have those kinds of feelings for you."

Liu Yuan couldn't hold back her tears. "Even if you've been abroad for four or five years, and I'm waiting for you to come back, will I ever have a chance?"

Gu Yunzhou was surprised by Liu Yuan's words, but...

"I'm sorry, but even so, I won't change my mind. Besides, Comrade Liu Yuan, it's not worth it."

Liu Yuan's tears flowed even more fiercely.

She knew that whether it was worth it or not was entirely up to Gu Yunzhou.

As long as Gu Yunzhou gives her a positive answer, then no matter how long she waits, it will be worth it.

But Gu Yunzhou was unwilling.

So no matter how long you wait, all you'll get in return is a "not worth it".

"Okay, I understand." Liu Yuan wiped away her tears.

She knew Gu Yunzhou was heartless; he had already put things this way, and if she still harbored those thoughts, it would be truly pathetic. But…

"I only have one last question."

"Gu Yunzhou, is there something wrong with me? Is that why you're rejecting me like this? Is it because when you saved me, I was with that Wen Zhuqing..."

At that time, it was only because Gu Yunzhou's pebble woke her up in time.

Perhaps, in her moment of infatuation, she was with Wen Zhuqing...

Gu Yunzhou must have seen it back then.

So, because of that, you dislike her?

Gu Yunzhou was surprised; he hadn't expected Liu Yuan to think that way.

Gu Yunzhou shook his head. "I would have forgotten about that matter long ago if you hadn't brought it up."

"Moreover, Wen Zhuqing is a very cunning person. You are inexperienced and you were deceived by him, so it's not really your fault."

"I don't have any romantic feelings for you."

"I still want to find someone I like and who can resonate with me on a soul level to spend my life with."

Liu Yuan understood.

She was pleased that Gu Yunzhou did not despise her because of what happened with Wen Zhuqing.

Yes, Gu Yunzhou is such a good person, otherwise he wouldn't have saved her back then.

That way, she won't have to think about it so much anymore.

She was also saddened that she was not the one who could resonate with Gu Yunzhou on a soul level, the one he could like.

She wondered what kind of girl Gu Yunzhou would like in the future.

She thought, that person must be very happy.

Today, Liu Yuan is actually here seeking a final answer.

Now, all the questions have been answered by Gu Yunzhou.

So……

She should let go of this fruitless relationship.

"Comrade Liu Yuan, I sincerely wish you all the best in the future."

Liu Yuan nodded and accepted Gu Yunzhou's blessing.

But she knew that it would be truly good if she could stay by Gu Yunzhou's side.

However, that's impossible now.

It's impossible in this lifetime.

However, if possible.

I hope she can be even better in her next life.

Perhaps, that would create a possibility between her and Gu Yunzhou.

Finally, Liu Yuan gave Gu Yunzhou a deep look, then turned and left.

She didn't turn around, afraid that if she did, she wouldn't be able to hold back her tears, and she let them drift away with the wind.

After that, Liu Yuan truly let go of Gu Yunzhou completely.

However, since it was someone she had genuinely liked, it took Liu Yuan nearly half a year to process her emotions.

After that, she asked her parents to arrange blind dates for her.

Three months later, she got married.

Her husband was an engineer in a factory. He was handsome, spoke gently, and was quite honest.

He really liked Liu Yuan.

And Liu Yuan...

To say I like it that much would be an understatement.

But I don't reject it either; I do have some positive feelings towards it.

She also knew that she was getting old and couldn't wait any longer.

So the two got married.

Liu Yuan thought that life after marriage, living with him, shouldn't be too difficult. Even if you can't live with someone, you still have to live life to the fullest.

A person's life is hard-won, and it's gone in a flash in just a few decades.
