My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy - Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Tears Fall on His Letter_1

Yeah, since we’re divorced, who would want to cling on, right?

Jiang Jiaying’s behavior was nothing more than an attempt to show off her magnanimity, but I wouldn’t accept it, nor would I give her that chance.

We were never compatible at school, so it was impossible for us to become friends.

Now it’s even less likely for us to have any connection.

Wenya grabbed my hand,

“Ayun, come here!”

Wenya was probably trying to distract me as she pulled me into an office.

“Ayun, how about I find a few people to beat her up for you?”

Her suggestion made me laugh.

And my mood improved slightly.

In the office, there were a few of Su Peisheng’s colleagues, all drinking tea, eating snacks, and sharing laughs.

Frankly, I had no interest in talking to them. Although I was sitting there, my gaze had already drifted outside, following Ding Yinuo’s figure.

He left with Jiang Jiaying, not even glancing back at me once as he went.

I took a deep breath and gulped down the coffee in my cup.

A bitter taste lingered on the tip of my tongue.

“Ayun!”

“Hmm?”

Wenya didn’t say anything but simply hugged me.

After a long while, she spoke to me,

“The property rights are clear now, Zhenyi Company belongs to you alone. When do you plan to check it out?”

“Er, I’m not in the mood to deal with that right now… I want to find time to settle Gu Yuanzhou’s affairs first.”

“Alright then!”

I felt like I was subtracting,

sorting out one thing after another in my life and then searching for my final destination.

After dealing with the divorce from Ding Yinuo, I felt a huge burden lifted from me, as the heavy stone that had been weighing on my chest finally landed.

I was about to leave when the time seemed right.

But Wenya managed to convince me to stay,

“Ayun, it’s Su Peisheng’s birthday tonight. Everyone’s heading out for fun, you should come too.”

“Isn’t your company enough for him?”

“It’s boring with just the two of us. It’s more fun with more people! Come on!”

“Wenya, I really don’t want to go!”

“Don’t be like that, Ayun, you need to snap out of this depressive mood.”

Despite my attempts to decline, Wenya still dragged me off to a hotel…

I knew very well that tonight wasn’t Su Peisheng’s birthday. Wenya had just been worried about me being lonely and bored, prone to overthinking.

They first went to the hotel for dinner, then to sing…

Wenya was amazing, a real karaoke fanatic, singing numerous songs by herself before later dueting with Su Peisheng.

I wasn’t much of a singer and wasn’t in the mood to sing either.

But after Wenya invited me several times, I ended up singing a duet with her, and coincidentally, the song was “From the Beginning Until Now”…

“If this is to be the final outcome, then why can’t I forget you?”

As the melody played, I was reminded of the bits and pieces of my past with Gu Yuanzhou.

I couldn’t hold back, and tears streamed down my face at the first line.

I truly couldn’t continue singing.

I handed the microphone to Wenya, “I’m sorry, I can’t do this. Please sing the rest for me!”

“Ah, Ayun!”

I hastily fled to the restroom alone.

I couldn’t break down and cry like an idiot in front of so many people.

In the restroom, I locked the door from the inside, allowing myself to be immersed in my sorrow.

I didn’t understand why I was so upset.

I don’t remember how long I cried.

I only remember Wenya finding a waiter, opening the restroom door, and then she, looking at me, also cried for a long time.

“Ayun, you can’t go on like this! You can’t go on like this!”

She kept repeating this over and over.

That evening, she insisted that I could not return to my place.

She dragged me to her home.

But I couldn’t sleep, a headache assailed me the moment I lay down, and so I just sat up through the night.

As dawn barely broke the next morning, I didn’t disturb her, just got up and left quietly on my own.

The city, just awakening, began its day bustling with life.

I wandered the streets alone, and the streets before my eyes suddenly became very unfamiliar.

It was during my daze that I suddenly saw a familiar figure.

To be precise, it was a silhouette.

Dressed in a black suit, that robust figure greatly resembled Gu Yuanzhou.

However, separated by a distance of a hundred meters or so, I came to my senses and immediately dashed towards him.

Unfortunately, it was right at a red light intersection.

The traffic halted my advance.

By the time the red light ended and I crossed the street, the silhouette had already disappeared into the crowd.

Was it really him?

Or someone who just looked like him?

I couldn’t be sure.

But for that instant, my emotions were tumultuous.

I even began to wonder, could he also be reborn somewhere, just like me?

Perhaps such thoughts were a mere delusion?

Maybe it was this thought that spurred me on.

I hurriedly hailed a cab and returned to Beilu Hill.

I had never looked at the letters Gu Yuanzhou left for me.

Maybe, it was time I took some time to thoroughly read them.

I now suddenly really wanted to know, what exactly did Gu Yuanzhou write to me.

An hour later, I had finally returned to the villa on Beilu Hill.

The envelope was lying on the desk.

Before, I didn’t even have the courage to tear it open.

Now, at last, I gathered enough courage to pick up the large envelope in my hands.

After tearing open the seal,

the sheets of paper inside floated out like snowflakes, scattering all over the floor.

The papers were casual, each one different, some were formal letter paper, some were torn from notebooks, even snippets of magazines.

But the handwriting was all Gu Yuanzhou’s.

His characters held a lot of strength.

Just like his personality, wild and unfettered.

I crouched on the ground and picked up the sheets one by one.

They were all dated, and I arranged them in order.

Then I started with the first one…

“I’ve always been thinking, some words I want to tell you in person! But I would have never imagined, in this lifetime, I would never have the chance to see you again. It’s quite laughable that the last goodbye would be in that courtroom. But that’s fine, I’m a dying man now, looking utterly shabby, an image shattered to pieces, it’s for the best you don’t see me.”

“Ayun, on the day we married, I promised you, if one day you were to pass away, I’d surely follow suit! The reason I said so was because I love you, my love for you is deep in my bones. Every day, every minute, every second after the fire has been an immense torment for me, more painful than death itself, the loss of three of the four people in our home. Every time I close my eyes I see your smiles and voices, and when I open them, I see the cold bodies. That heart-wrenching pain, it pierces my brain every moment, as if it could tear me apart… I’m constantly ready to join you all.”

“But I can’t! I still carry some unfinished missions of the Gu family on my shoulders. As the sole heir of the Gu family, if I don’t fulfill my mission, I would let down my ancestors.”

“I’m sorry for the things I’ve done that wounded you so deeply, but I can clarify this, it has nothing to do with you. It’s just a personal feud between me and Song Shixiong. What he did is intolerable by heaven, and he deserves the punishment… I’m sorry for causing you to lose your loved ones, that’s the only thing I feel guilty about in my life, death cancels all debts. If you really want me dead, then I will die. I hope after my death, you can let go of any hatred for me…”

“Don’t be too sad after I die. Find a good person to spend the rest of your life with. That kid with the surname Ding, it’s his damn luck to have caught a big break. I hope he takes good care of you for the rest of your life, otherwise, even as a ghost, I won’t let him off the hook.”

“Finally, after I die, I’d like my ashes to be buried with the kids. I owe them in life, and in death, I want to be with them, reincarnated. If I have the chance to be their father again, I will raise them properly. If there’s an afterlife, I’d like to be your husband once more, and I promise never to make you angry again.”

“Ayun, Ayun, my Ayun, I can’t bear to leave you, this life has been far too short.”
