After paying her husband for five years, she turned around and married into a wealthy family with bi

After listening, Yun An locked the computer and then went over with Lei Ze.

Upon entering the CEO's office, Gu Beiting, sitting in his office chair, looked terrible.

It's clear he didn't sleep well last night.

He was almost completely emaciated.

Even when drunk, he wouldn't be this bad.

But Yun An seems to be in good condition.

Gu Beiting's voice was tense, betraying the tension of someone who hadn't slept all night: "You didn't go home last night?"

Yun An hadn't spoken yet.

Gu Beiting raised his voice: "Do you know how late I've been waiting for you?"

Yun An asked, "What are you waiting for me for?"

Gu Beiting was speechless for a moment, choked by her words.

Yes, why is he waiting for Yun An?

Gu Beiting recalled that he had planned to visit the old family mansion with Yun An yesterday, so he declined social engagements and also declined Xu Niaoniao's invitation.

But when he returned home early, a rare occurrence, the nanny told him that Yun'an was not home.

He assumed Yun'an was working overtime at the company, and since the task was urgent, he had no choice but to abandon his plan to return to the old house.

To his surprise, when he opened his phone, Lin Xiaowei sent him a crying voice message, sobbing about how Yun An had wronged her.

For the sake of the company, she emphasized the need to expedite the selection of a solution, but Yun An turned the tables and made things difficult for her.

Gu Beiting was upset. He wasn't upset about the infighting between Yun An and Lin Xiaowei, but rather that Yun An hadn't been working overtime at the company at all.

This shattered his expectations.

In Gu Beiting's eyes, Yun Anguang only had an alluring appearance and looked very beautiful, but she never understood relationships between men and women and only knew how to bury herself in coding.

She is indeed a great beauty, one could even say she would be stunningly beautiful if she dressed up, but her beauty is somewhat dull, and it's hard to imagine that such an appearance could conceal such a pure heart.

She never appears outside of her home or workplace.

All he talks about all day is family and work.

But that evening, she was neither at home nor at the office.

Annoyed to no end, Gu Beiting finally took the initiative to send Yun An a message, asking where she was.

To his surprise, Yun An never replied to his messages.

When I called back, the other person's phone was switched off.

A surge of anger welled up in Gu Beiting's heart.

I made many phone calls in a row.

In the past, he would ignore an entire page of messages.

That night, he stared at all the missed calls he had made throughout the night, his fingers clenching until they turned white.

He didn't even see the messages Xu Niaoniao sent him.

"I'm your husband. When did I give you permission to stay out all night? You're really not treating this home like a home. What's wrong with you? Why aren't you replying to my messages?"

Gu Beiting roared.

He was angry not because he cared so much, but because Yun'an had never treated him like this before.

His anger stemmed from a deep sense of frustration.

He didn't feel hurt by her; he just felt frustrated that she had lost control of him.

"Come on," Yun An laughed. "When I was keeping vigil for my grandmother, why didn't you treat me like your husband? My only relative passed away, and because of you, I didn't even get to see my grandmother one last time. When she was cremated, during the seventh day after her death, and at her burial, why didn't you mention that you were my husband then?"

Her tone was full of sarcasm.

Gu Beiting's attitude plummeted. He knew he had acted inhumanely: "Yun'an, the company was trying to recover its losses at the time, and we had no other choice. How can you hold onto this matter? Would letting you go have saved your grandmother's life? If you had fainted because of your grandmother's death and wasted a few days, how much more would the company have lost? We are husband and wife and should be considerate of each other. Don't dwell on this unavoidable matter. Your grandmother wouldn't have wanted to see this outcome either."

"Stop making excuses. The company can run just fine without me. If you can't handle something, just outsource it to a more capable engineer. The only reason you're keeping me here is because I'm the cheapest, because I'm free. All these years, you've kept me around just because I'm a free nanny, a free beast of burden, a free blood pack. Sorry, I'm quitting." Yun An's tone was filled with coldness and pain.

A sour feeling flooded into every cell of her body.

She wasn't unaware that Gu Beiting had built the company by stepping on her because she loved him, which was why she was willing to be his supportive wife behind the scenes.

But Gu Beiting trampled on her dignity and erased all her efforts.

Her words made Gu Beiting feel a huge weight on his shoulders, the words stuck in his throat.

His brows furrowed.

"Yun'an, I'm sorry."

He finally realized, "I'm sorry, I didn't let you see your grandmother one last time."

Yun'an found it ironic that the baby had died and the mother knew to come for milk, but it was too late.

What hurt her the most was discovering that Gu Beiting didn't love her at all, if she hadn't seen with her own eyes how much he loved Xu Niaoniao.

Unaware of the truth, she would find countless excuses to explain her grandmother's situation to Gu Beiting.

After admitting his mistake, Gu Beiting immediately said, "Right now, all I can think about is how to save the company. Gaoling Capital issued an ultimatum yesterday to withdraw its shares. If Gaoling withdraws, the other shareholders will follow suit, and the company will be delisted or even acquired. But at this critical juncture, you keep sabotaging the company. Are you really so heartless as to watch my company go under?"

Yun An thought for a moment, then suddenly blurted out, "Why don't you just approve my resignation and then hire new game engineers with high salaries, preferably MIT postdocs, or if that doesn't work, poach a few from Silicon Valley and offer them multi-million dollar salaries? There's bound to be some genius who won't hold us back. My salary is meager and my position is insignificant; no matter how hard I try, it's useless."

"Are you crazy?" Gu Beiting stood up angrily, his voice rising sharply: "What's wrong with you? Yun An, what's wrong with you lately? You've never been like this before, you wouldn't treat me like this."

"You want to know what happened to me? I was beaten up yesterday and almost raped. I barely escaped and hid all night before daring to come out. You asked me why I didn't reply to your messages? My phone was smashed. But have you ever really cared about me? I'm a living person, not your money-making machine. I can get hurt, I can get sad, and I need time to recover. I can't keep serving you non-stop."

"What did you say?" Gu Beiting's eyes widened, unable to believe what he had just heard.

Yun An let out a breath: "Gu Beiting, I'm too tired, please let me go."
