Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After returning from the old estate, it was already late. The two individuals returned to their respective bedrooms.

Shu Pan couldn’t fall asleep for a long time, staring blankly at the ceiling. Everything in this room was meticulously arranged by her. Initially, she had decorated this home with anticipation for a new life and the love in her heart, making it so cozy.

Now, in retrospect, it felt a bit ironic. Eventually, when this home had a new mistress, it would probably undergo significant changes.

Gu Shaoting was unusually quiet tonight. He didn’t turn on the light and walked into his bedroom. The light from outside and the moon lazily illuminated the room.

The room was dimly lit, and there was silence all around.

He collapsed onto the bed, staring coldly at the ceiling, his eyes fixed, seemingly empty, his gaze unfocused, as if lost in thought. But at some point, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly deep in thought, yet it was unclear about what.

Suddenly, he felt restless, stood up all of a sudden, pacing around the room, appearing uneasy.

Was this divorce-induced restlessness?

Divorce was nothing. He didn’t believe he couldn’t find someone better, more suitable for him.

Finally, he took a deep breath and sat back on the edge of the bed. He lay down, trying to make himself fall asleep. However, involuntarily, an image of Shu Pan’s blushing and shy expression emerged in his mind. He felt a burning sensation in his heart, as if a fire was blazing.

Finally, it was dawn. When Gu Shaoting opened the door to leave, he saw that the door to the adjacent guest room was open. He glanced inside and saw that the bed was neatly made, everything was in order, as if no one had ever stayed there.

He walked out to the living room and caught sight of a bunch of keys on the coffee table. He understood that Shu Pan had already left. The house seemed even emptier now, devoid of any vitality.

He pursed his lips, then headed to the company.

In the office, he stared at the pedestrians outside, the cars hurrying by, lost in thought.

“Brother Ting, congratulations on getting a fresh start,” He Ming entered without knocking.

“How did things go?” Gu Shaoting asked abruptly.

“Well, don’t worry. Everything’s taken care of. Shu Pan is now penniless. The card you gave her has also been suspended. I checked the records. It was used for one transaction,” He Ming really didn’t understand Gu Shaoting. Was it necessary to be so ruthless? Even if there was deep-seated resentment, there was no need to treat a woman like this.

Gu Shaoting remembered that the last transaction seemed to be for buying lingerie. He remembered it so clearly because it was the only transaction. It was for buying lingerie.

“Brother Ting, actually, you’re divorced now too. Even if Shu Pan’s father was wrong, it’s in the past. She’s having a hard time now. I heard she quit her job too, left with nothing after the divorce. You two have no relationship now. You should open up your heart. You were depressed before the divorce. Now that it’s done, you should be happy,” He Ming earnestly advised.

What do you think?” He Ming suggested when he saw Gu Shaoting didn’t speak.

“We’ll see,” Gu Shaoting responded absentmindedly. He was also contemplating that he should move on and live a good life.

“Alright, you go ahead. I have something to attend to as well,” He Ming said and left, closing the door behind him.

Gu Shaoting sat for a while, immersing himself in his work. There was a holiday resort project under discussion lately. He had to get busy. Next, he would work hard and lead the company to new peaks..
