Gu Beiting stood up and walked to her side: "You said you were beaten up yesterday and almost assaulted? What happened?"

Yun An lowered her eyes slightly and answered truthfully: "Last night when I was taking a taxi home from the square, a man forced me to take off all my clothes. It seemed like someone sent him. I reported it to the police."

Upon hearing Yun An's words, Gu Beiting immediately thought of the time yesterday when he and Xu Niaoniao were testing drug reactions in the lounge, and Yun An suddenly barged in, causing Xu Niaoniao to not have time to put on her clothes.

At that time, Gu Beiting noticed that Xu Niaoniao was very unhappy.

Could it be that Xu Niaoniao ordered someone to deal with Yun An?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Gu Beiting quickly dismissed it. Who was Xu Niaoniao?

She is the daughter of the prestigious Feng family, a goddess of high status. How could she possibly stoop to the level of someone like Yun An?

Gu Beiting then said, "It's fine as long as you've reported it to the police. It was just a minor accident. You weren't hurt, were you? Your grandmother's funeral has also been taken care of. Now you only have me as family. Don't overthink it. Just focus on your work. Once the company gets through this crisis, I'll take you on a trip abroad, okay?"

Yun An felt a pang of sadness when she heard him say it was just a minor, lighthearted accident.

In the past, if Gu Beiting had said he would take her on a trip abroad, she would have been overjoyed and thrown herself into the project, because she was really looking forward to traveling with Gu Beiting.

After getting married, Gu Beiting was so busy with work that they didn't even have a honeymoon.

However, it seems that Gu Beiting, who took suppressants as soon as he got married, will never have a honeymoon. Their marriage is destined to be devoid of sweetness.

She remained silent for a long while, suppressing the bitterness in her heart. Finally, under Gu Beiting's gaze that demanded a response, she spoke: "No."

Gu Beiting was shocked after hearing this. How could Yun An refuse him?

He knew very well how much Yun'an liked him and how much she wanted to travel with him.

However, Yun An directly rejected the invitation.

"What did you say?"

Yun An took a breath: "I said no."

She didn't want his hypocritical charity, especially not the kind he would give her; even a small trip was just a pie in the sky—something she could only look at but not eat.

And since she doesn't have any serious illness, why would she go on a trip with her ex-husband?

She remembered that Gu Beiting had frequently gone on business trips abroad under the pretext of official business in recent years, and although she was just an engineer, she knew this.

He had no business dealings with the country he went to, but there were a few women's colleges there.

Xu Niaoniao then explained that he had been studying abroad for the past few years and what he had been doing there, which made Yun An understand.

Gu Beiting frowned. Yun An's answer surprised him. He couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you want? Don't think you're that important. I kindly offered to take you on a trip. Didn't you always clamor to go? You even made a 30-page travel guide. Now you don't want it anymore? I'm too lazy to take you anyway. Don't regret it."

Yun An remained calm: "I don't regret it. What I want is right there on my desk at home. Gu Beiting, haven't you even glanced at it?"

Gu Beiting always seemed deaf and dumb when it came to her affairs. She had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius, and this man who shared a bed with her didn't know at all that night. Was it because he didn't know or because he didn't care?

Gu Beiting only remembered it after she mentioned it.

That day, when Xu Niaoniao said she had twisted her ankle, he immediately threw Yun An aside. No matter how much Yun An begged, he resolutely walked away without looking at the things she wanted to give him.

Gu Beiting then painstakingly recalled that it seemed to be a white document.

It's probably something like a house or a car that she wants.

Gu Beiting was very familiar with this tactic, after all, Xu Niaoniao had always done it this way.

He said, "Okay, I'll check it later. I have something to do now, you can go back to your workstation first."

Gu Beiting did come to handle something, but most importantly, he knew that Yun An hadn't gone home because of an accident.

He felt less troubled.

Because he felt that Yun'an had not lost control.

Yun An left the office after listening. She knew that since Gu Beiting wanted to marry Xu Niaoniao, he would definitely sign the divorce agreement immediately upon seeing it.

Because she's no longer of any use to Gu Beiting.

He used his marriage to her to obtain Gu's father's initial investment, and even used her patents to take the company public.

The reason she kept pretending not to know about his infidelity was to facilitate a smooth divorce.

If Gu Beiting's true colors are exposed, he will definitely try to deal with her in order to protect Xu Niaoniao.

During this special period, she doesn't need to have more children to conserve her energy.

We can't reveal our identities yet, so we can't fight against Gu Beiting and Xu Niaoniao.

I have no choice but to play dumb.

Once she gets the divorce certificate and inherits the estate, she will definitely settle accounts with them properly.

When Yun An returned to her office, she discovered that Lin Xiaowei had transferred all the contents of her computer and USB drive without her consent.

He then arrogantly sat down at her desk and said, "President Gu is absolutely telling you to get out. I've confiscated everything that belongs to the company. Get out now."

Yun An was shocked: "Lin Xiaowei, this is theft. Don't blame me for not warning you. You've copied my stuff before, but I didn't hold it against you for the sake of the bigger picture. If you dare to copy again, I will definitely not be polite to you."

Lin Xiaowei's face turned bright red.

"Who plagiarized? You bitch, you're making baseless accusations! What original content could a college graduate like you possibly have?"

Yun An didn't bother arguing with someone like her, picked up her computer, and left.

Since Lin Xiaowei publicly forbade her from going to work, there was no need for her to go to work anymore.

She returned to her lodgings early and had a good night's sleep.

I received a WeChat message from my best friend, Lu Wanqing:

[An'an, how did the divorce go?]

Yun An didn't want Lu Wanqing to worry.

【not bad.】

Lu Wanqing: [It's worth celebrating with a drink. My treat.]

The two arrived at the bar just as it was at its busiest time.

However, Lu Wanqing had made a reservation in advance.

Lu Wanqing said that she had finalized a cooperation agreement during this business trip, and the company gave her a bonus of 5 yuan.

Yun An hasn't told Lu Wanqing about what happened during this time.

The two had just ordered two low-alcohol drinks.

Then I heard a sound coming from the booth next door.

"Give me a kiss!"

"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"

"Boss lady, since our boss is so devoted, let him kiss you."

A commotion attracted Yun'an's attention.

It was because the voice belonged to one of her colleagues.

Yun An turned her head to look over.

His facial expression suddenly froze.

Lu Wanqing followed her gaze and looked over.

His face looked terrible. "Isn't that Gu Gou?"

In the middle of the booth was Gu Beiting's handsome face with its distinct features.

Clearly visible amidst the swaying, brightly lit streets.

His temperament is outstanding; he is elegant, gentlemanly, and gentle.

He held a woman in his arms; she was beautiful and charming in a red dress.

The man, who was usually calm and composed, was now filled with indulgence and fervor.

When Lu Wanqing saw the woman, her lips twitched, and she rolled her eyes. "That woman is Gu Beiting's white moonlight?"

"Hmm." Yun An poured the wine in her glass down her throat, and it tasted bitter.

Lu Wanqing looked utterly shocked: "Even if you're divorced, isn't there a one-month cooling-off period? How dare you openly hug each other like that?"

Yun An remained silent, but Lu Wanqing abruptly stood up, determined to demand an explanation from Yun An.
