Yun An brushed off the food that had spilled all over her.

"I'm full, you guys eat."

As she was about to leave, a voice called out to her, "Sister-in-law, did I do something to upset you? Don't misunderstand, I just came back from abroad and wanted to invest and have some fun. I happened to be discussing a collaboration with Bei Ting."

Cooperation?

Is this some kind of illicit affair?

Yun An listened to Xu Niaoniao's seductive manner; no wonder she could be so captivating to Gu Beiting.

Yun An was about to speak.

Gu Beiting quickly comforted her, "Niao Niao, don't take it to heart. She's just a country bumpkin with no class. Don't worry about her."

Gu Xilan immediately chimed in, "That's right, why is an adult arguing with a child? Bei Ting, you really need to teach her a lesson."

Yun An was so angry she almost laughed.

She's a country bumpkin, from the countryside, but that shouldn't be an excuse for Gu Beiting to step on her to curry favor with Xu Niaoniao.

Just like when she learned that Lin Xiaowei's salary was ten times higher than hers, and went to question Gu Beiting about it.

Gu Beiting said, "Xiaowei has a master's degree from MIT, that's all she's worth. You're just an undergraduate, how can you compare to her?"

Yun An has an undergraduate degree, but she can easily solve many technical problems that Lin Xiaowei cannot solve at all. Moreover, Lin Xiaowei still needs to learn from her!

Gu Beiting, however, was disgusted by this and said that Yun An was jealous of talent and did not want the company to develop.

Now Yun'an understands that he deliberately belittled her to make her feel inferior.

This would make her exploit herself, continue to work diligently like an ox, and give to him.

But now Yun'an is awake.

She went back to her room.

Yun An didn't care how Gu Beiting and Gu Xilan tried to please Xu Niaoniao.

After taking a shower, she waited for Gu Beiting to come so she could discuss a divorce with him.

While waiting, I tidied up my things and got rid of some useless items.

It will save a lot of trouble when you move.

Yun An grabbed the trash can and started throwing trash around.

She even threw her wedding dress into the trash can.

Gu Beiting suddenly walked in and bumped right into him.

Why did you put the wedding dress in the trash can?

Gu Beiting was surprised. He glanced at the white wedding dress, which was now stained with other dirt, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Yun An's tone was calmer: "I'm such a country bumpkin, my taste is really bad. This wedding dress is so ugly, it should have been thrown away a long time ago."

Hearing her seemingly light laugh, Gu Beiting suddenly frowned: "I said that to give Miss Xu face. We're preparing a new project recently, and Miss Xu can get Gao Ling to invest again with just a word. Don't be so naive."

He added, "You threw away your most treasured wedding dress out of spite. Wait until you calm down, then see if you cry."

Gu Beiting knew that this wedding dress was her most treasured possession.

Yun'an specially reserved an entire wall in the walk-in closet, sealed it with crystal-clear glass, and hung it with high-end plastic mannequins.

Every year, it is sent to the best laundromat for cleaning.

In Gu Beiting's eyes, the reason Yun An treasured this thing so much was because that grand wedding was a symbol of her leap to success.

Every woman dreams of marrying into a wealthy family, and this wedding dress is like the trophy that marks the fulfillment of her dream.

It's something you can show off anytime.

Now, just because he called her a country bumpkin, she actually threw this precious thing into a dirty trash can.

This is utterly incomprehensible.

Yun An sighed and said, "I've cried enough, I won't cry anymore."

Seeing her forced smile, Gu Beiting assumed she was reluctant to part with the dress. "Li Ma, take this wedding dress to the dry cleaners..."

"No need to wash."

Yun An shook her head, looking directly at Gu Beiting: "Dirty things can't be washed properly."

After saying that, before Gu Beiting could say anything more, she turned and went into the dressing room to continue throwing away the rest.

Gu Beiting suddenly grabbed her and hugged her from behind: "Yun'an, you've been angry for so many days just because I didn't let you see your grandmother?"

Gu Beiting finally realized that Yun An was being a bit cold towards him.

Before, whenever she saw Gu Beiting, she would be so happy she could smile from ear to ear. No matter how cold Gu Beiting was, her eyebrows were always full of tenderness and love for him.

Even if she didn't see Gu Beiting, she still sent him every single message, asking if he had eaten breakfast, how his appetite was, and if he was tired. She sent messages every day, even if he didn't reply.

The fact that Yun An loves Gu Beiting is like a code she sets for herself, running tirelessly every day and triggering at the appointed time.

But ever since that day when the company asked Yun'an to stay at work instead of going to her grandmother's place first, Yun'an seemed to have changed a bit, and she didn't even send him any messages for several days.

Gu Beiting could understand; after all, she needed time to calm down.

But after so many days, she not only failed to return to the Yun'an who loved him tirelessly and was willing to do anything for him, but her condition also tended to worsen.

Now they've even thrown away their wedding dress.

Gu Beiting felt he had to give her something sweet.

At this moment, Yun An felt a little nauseous and broke free from his embrace.

"Gu Beiting, you have never treated me as your wife in your heart, so you have never paid attention to my grandmother. Yes, my grandmother has passed away. In order to wait for me, she clung to life, supporting her body which had more than twenty fractures from the accident. Every breath was painful."

But because of your loss of hundreds of thousands in just one hour, because of someone else's mistake, you made me stay there for a full two hours, and I didn't even get to see my grandmother one last time when I arrived.

Yun'an still cries when she talks about her grandmother's death.

Gu Beiting was slightly taken aback. His gaze inadvertently swept over her slightly reddened eyes, and his pupils contracted slightly.

"If you hadn't said it was so serious earlier, who knows if the doctor was exaggerating? And do you know how bad this quarter's performance report will look because of this card? You haven't been to the company for so many days, do you know how much work you've missed?"

Yun An looked up at him and told him she was in pain, but Gu Beiting acted as if he hadn't heard her.

He continued to criticize her relentlessly, emphasizing the company's failures as if they were her fault.

While Yun An was stunned, Gu Beiting suddenly caught up with her and pulled her into his arms.

"Alright, it's all in the past, I won't hold it against you. Just go back to the company tomorrow and keep up the good work. Consider this period of time a vacation for you."

He thinks he can erase Yun'an's heartbreaking and unforgettable regret, and wipe away the tears she shed for days and nights, without holding a grudge? Where does he get his confidence? He's so shameless!

Yun An pushed him away, took a breath, and went to get the divorce papers.

"Yes, it's all in the past." She brought out the divorce papers.

I knew in my heart that she meant their marriage was over and over.

That year he proposed to her.

Yun An was truly pleasantly surprised to agree, and she always looked forward to growing old together with Gu Beiting.

Now, all that remains is heartache and the pain of unrequited love.

She smiled wryly and said, "I wanted to give this to you."

Just as Gu Beiting was about to pick it up and look at it, a phone call came in.

Yun An caught a glimpse of it; the screen displayed "Favorites".

Xu Niaoniao's voice came over.

Gu Beiting immediately replied, "I'll be right there."

He immediately turned to leave after hanging up the phone: "Give it to me when I get back, I'm going out for a bit."

Gu Beiting thought this was a new plan Yun An had prepared for him to salvage the company's losses. Since he couldn't run away anyway, he had to go find Xu Niaoniao first.

As they passed each other, Yun An tugged at his sleeve.

Gu Beiting was forced to stop, his face showing some impatience, and he brushed Yun An's hand away: "Don't be so rude."

Then he left without looking back.

Yun An stood there, staring blankly at the door.

After placing the divorce agreement on the most conspicuous desk, Yun An packed all her belongings and left the villa she had meticulously managed for three years.
