I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Cecilia looked at her father's appearance, and then at Gu Yan's gritted teeth and helpless expression.

Her beautiful, icy blue eyes unconsciously curved slightly, like crescent moons, flashing by in an instant.

But this brief smile, unlike the one at the auction, was caught by Aunt Tian, ​​Chen Sinian, and even the actors around her who hadn't completely dispersed.

Miss... smiled again?

Miss Chen actually smiled? And she smiled so beautifully!

What kind of magic did Master Gu cast?!

Feeling the sudden focus of attention, filled with shocked and inquisitive gazes, Cecilia felt her ears burning. She feared that if she stayed any longer, she would lose her composure.

"Master Gu".

She cleared her throat, trying to keep her voice as indifferent as usual, "How long are you going to dawdle?"

Gu Yan looked at her and realized that Aunt Tian had quietly stepped aside and made room for pushing the wheelchair.

He glanced again at Shen Youyao, who was standing next to him with her head down, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

"Youyao, wait for me here, don't wander off."

He gave Shen Youyao some instructions, then turned to Aunt Tian, ​​"Aunt Tian, ​​could you please take care of her?"

Aunt Tian nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu."

After making the arrangements, Gu Yan sighed helplessly in her heart, resignedly walked to the back of Cecilia's wheelchair, and grasped the cold metal armrest.

Fine, I'll keep you company.

To be honest, Bai Zikong has disappeared, and he doesn't know what to do now.

However, if we can stabilize Cecilia's emotions, there shouldn't be any problems when the story begins a year later...

Seeing Gu Yan glare at Chen Sinian one last time before finally pushing Cecilia's wheelchair away, almost everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, with Master Gu Yan around, they felt like the sky wouldn't fall.

Although the script was drastically changed at the last minute, Master Gu will surely have a way to stabilize the situation.

"Uncle Chen, this... why is Master Gu being chosen as the male lead? This wasn't mentioned before!"

Zhang Zihao then came over, scratching his head and asking Chen Sinian with a puzzled look.

Chen Sinian blushed. He couldn't very well say that he had acted impulsively and sold Gu Yan for his daughter's happiness, could he?

He put on a stern face and adopted the demeanor of an elder: "You don't need to worry about this."

"Pass the word: continue writing the script, coordinate well with Master Gu, and make sure everyone doesn't mess things up!"

After saying that, he glanced at Shen Youyao, who was still standing with her head down and exuding a sense of loss, and silently apologized to her.

I'm sorry, little girl.

For my daughter's sake, I wouldn't even consider stealing someone else's boyfriend.

I'm capable of doing even more ruthless things.

He made up his mind that he would give the girl a large sum of money later as compensation.

"Hey Dad, just letting you know, the lead actor has been changed!"

"Master Gu has replaced him! The surveillance cameras can be reopened!"

Zhang Zihao seemed to understand, but didn't ask any more questions. He then turned around and called his father in the command center.

In the command center, Zhang Xiong and Li Zhengguo exchanged a strange glance.

"I see!"

"Master Gu must have realized that Mr. Bai's side had no chance, so he's preparing to set an example and step in himself!"

"Truly a role model for us all, a doctor with a compassionate heart!"

"Once Miss Chen is successfully cured, Zheng Guo, you must personally recommend Master Gu to the higher-ups for credit!"

Zhang Xiong stroked his chin, then slapped his thigh as if suddenly realizing something.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Li Zhengguo's eyes, and he didn't respond immediately, seemingly lost in thought.

The two were speaking loudly, and all the other staff in the command room could hear them clearly.

Immediately, everyone's faces showed admiration, and they all sighed in quiet admiration:

"Master Gu is truly...so selfless!"

"To treat and save lives, they didn't hesitate to personally take to the front lines; I admire them!"

"A man of noble character, dedicated to his country and its people!"

……

Back at the fountain, Shen Youyao stood there blankly, watching the direction Gu Yan pushed Cecilia away. The figure grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared among the amusement park rides.

Her heart sank little by little, leaving her feeling empty.

Just then, my phone vibrated in my pocket.

She mechanically took it out, and the screen displayed Hua Heng Ge's name.

She answered the call and put it to her ear.

"Youyao! I'm so sorry, so incredibly sorry! I've thought it through, and I promise I'll protect you from now on!"

"I'll protect you with my life! I'll protect you for the rest of my life! I swear..."

Hua Heng's voice came through, filled with urgency and regret.

That's enough.

Shen Youyao suddenly spoke, interrupting his endless promises.

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried a crispness I'd never heard before.

Hua Heng on the other end of the phone was stunned, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat.

Youyao... would never interrupt him like that.

Shen Youyao herself was taken aback for a moment, realizing that her tone had been a bit harsh. She sniffed and softened her voice, "Brother Huaheng, I've figured it out."

"I...I don't like you."

"sorry."

"I will never be so cowardly again."

"I will...do my best to protect myself."

She paused, as if speaking to herself, or perhaps making a declaration.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, so long that Shen Youyao thought he had already hung up.

Then, Hua Heng's voice came slowly and softly, tinged with a bittersweet understanding: "Youyao...you like Master Gu Yan, don't you?"

Shen Youyao's hand gripping the phone tightened suddenly.

Does she like Gu Yan?

She disliked Hua Heng, perhaps simply because Hua Heng had once given her a glimmer of hope, only to disappoint her in return.

But what about Gu Yan Ge?

What exactly does she want?

Isn't it just wanting someone who can stand by her side without hesitation?

Regardless of right or wrong, or the reasons, I simply stood by her side against my conscience.

The heart isn't in the middle; love is favoritism.

She didn't want to hear any more "bear with it," "they're all acquaintances," or "never mind."

When Wang Hu's legs were broken on Gu Yan's orders, a strange, guilt-ridden joy welled up inside her.

From the first time Gu Yan gently touched her head, hugged her as she trembled, and made her breakfast, to just now when he once again stood in front of her like a god...

Thinking of all this, Shen Youyao felt her nose sting again, and tears welled up unexpectedly, blurring her glasses.

"Master Gu... I approve of him."

"Youyao, I hope you can find your own happiness."

"If, if you need, I can help you seek out Master Gu."

Hua Heng listened to her suppressed breathing on the other end of the phone, and spoke again, his voice much calmer, even carrying a hint of relief.

Indeed, I am no match for Master Gu Yan in any way, so helping You Yao find her own happiness is a good thing.

After a long while, Hua Heng noticed that there was no sound from the other end of the phone.

"Youyao, then I won't bother you anymore..."

"I'm hanging up now."

The phone went dead.

Shen Youyao slowly put down her phone, raised her hand, and hastily wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

Behind the glasses, his heterochromatic eyes gazed in the direction Gu Yan had left, where the place was now empty.
