My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 320: Retreat Step by Step_1
Although I tried to keep my expression as natural as possible, all of it couldn’t escape my eyes.

In front of me, he was still too green.

I saw right through…

“Cough, what were you just taking pictures of?”

He didn’t hide it any longer and took out his phone from his pocket to show me.

I took the phone but didn’t look at it, just weighed it in my palm before giving it back to him.

“Why don’t you look?”

He asked me curiously.

“You guys always like to keep inappropriate photos on your phones; I’d rather not look!”

“I don’t have any! Really, take a look, it’s all clean.”

He insisted on proving his innocence by still pushing the phone at me.

I declined.

“Forget it, I’m not looking!”

I could see a hint of disappointment in the depths of his eyes.

I took another careful look at him.

His attire was more formal than before, the white shirt looked upscale with subtle cuff designs, and his suit was spotless.

When he looked at me, his eyes held a bit of expectation.

I could only pretend not to notice.

Smiling, I patted his shoulder,

“Yishu! I really like this gift! Thank you!”

Shen Yishu chuckled,

“Glad you like it, why be polite?”

I poured him a cup of tea,

“I’m going to check some medical books now, if you don’t have anything else, you can go ahead and leave.”

“I’ve finished all my business for today; I’d like to stay here a little longer!”

“Well, suit yourself…”

I really wasn’t in the mood to entertain Shen Yishu.

With Ding Yinuo on my mind, I also had to be constantly on guard against Gu Yuanzhou making a move…

As I studied the book on traditional medicine and acupuncture, Gu Yuanzhou’s words were still on my mind.

I was genuinely puzzled, unable to figure it out…

Shen Yishu called out to me twice before I snapped back to reality, looking at him with a baffled expression.

H looked at me with concern,

“What’s wrong with you?”

Only then did I feel the pain in my hand, and looking down, I found I’d been so lost in thought that I didn’t even notice the needle I’d stuck in my hand.

I hastily put the needle away.

After glancing at him, I laughed awkwardly to cover up,

“What were you just saying to me? I was spacing out.”

“Oh, I said… what do you like about Ding Yinuo?”

“Huh?”

“Right!”

“No, why are you asking that?”

“I just want to know, what kind of man can attract you, can make you throw caution to the wind like a moth to a flame… I’ve never seen a woman like you before. In my memory, most girls are like Ye Mengyan, they seek men under the guise of love, but they’re really just looking for a cash machine. To them, love is money! It’s money they love, they’ll follow whoever has it.”

Shen Yishu’s words carried a touch of cynical world-weariness.

It made me realize.

He had been greatly hurt in his last relationship with Ye Mengyan.

I patted his shoulder,

“Not all women are like Ye Mengyan. Just like, you and Gu Yuanzhou are both men, but your personalities are worlds apart; people are completely different from each other.”

“I know, you’re different from Ye Mengyan; I understand the reasoning you’re talking about.”

“It’s not just me, Jia Yuyan is lovely! There are many good girls out there.”

“But you still haven’t told me, what do you like about Ding Yinuo!”

Shen Yishu pressed the question again.

“`

I fell silent for a while.

In fact, I find it hard to answer this question.

In my life, I’ve given all my love to Gu Yuanzhou… I’ve been hurt, pained, exhausted.

And Ding Yinuo has always given me a sense of security, like a calm harbor, always waiting for me.

I can’t go into details; I just know he’s very important in my life, and I can’t be without him.

After a while, I looked at Shen Yishu,

“My relationship with Ding Yinuo really can’t serve as a reference for you. You can’t derive any life philosophy from us. I think life comes from experience, you’ll understand once you’ve been in love a few more times.”

Shen Yishu smiled and didn’t ask any further.

Late at night, I needed to go to the hospital.

Shen Yishu drove me there and only left after I had entered the ward.

Sometimes, I feel like I understand Shen Yishu very well, but in reality, it seems I don’t really know him at all.

The night deepened, and I stayed up with Ding Yinuo, yet another sleepless night…

The next morning.

I washed Ding Yinuo’s face and was about to help him drink some honey water.

My phone rang.

It was Wenya who called, saying in a mysterious tone,

“Gu Yuanzhou has gone mad!”

“Has he ever been normal?”

In my eyes, Gu Yuanzhou has always been crazy; he’s never done a sane thing.

So, at that moment, I wasn’t too surprised by Wenya’s words.

“No, if you’re free, hurry over and see for yourself just how crazy this man has become!”

Wenya kept urging me, and I felt curious.

In fact, I really wanted to know what crazy thing Gu Yuanzhou had done.

After taking care of Ding Yinuo, I set out.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the place Wenya had specified.

She had already been waiting for me on the steps, early in the morning, wearing a brightly green trench coat, wrapped in a white scarf, very eye-catching among the crowd.

I glanced at the tall and retro-styled building in front of me, with ‘Trust Auction House’ written on it.

I looked at her in surprise, “Su Peisheng greened you out, so you’re going to auction him off?”

“What kind of thought process is that… It’s not me, it’s Gu Yuanzhou.”

Wenya pulled me up the steps, mumbling all the way,

“I was clueless too, until Su Peisheng told me. He just got the news from inside. We couldn’t believe it, that Gu Yuanzhou would actually do such a thing.”

Hearing her say this, my doubt grew bigger.

I followed her into the elevator.

Then, she led me into an auction room.

I had been here before; it’s A City’s most upscale and grand auction venue.

They auction off all sorts of jewelry, jade, as well as real estate, land, deeds, antiques, paintings, and the like.

Suddenly, I saw on the big screen, scrolling text of the next public auction, ‘Zhenyi Company’s entire share equity.’

Seeing such a message indeed shocked me.

Gu Yuanzhou was actually willing to auction off Zhenyi Company?

“How is it, Ayun, haven’t you always wanted to take back Zhenyi Company? This is a good opportunity! Now, you can start anew when Zhenyi returns to your hands.”

But seeing this message only made me feel somewhat torn.

Distressed!

Zhenyi Company is all the hard work of Gu Yuanzhou and me.

Like a child I’ve raised by hand, he’s actually going to sell it.

Heartache!

Actually, Wenya isn’t wrong.

If Zhenyi could return to my hands, it would be better.

However, right now, the screen only shows scrolling text without any other auction information, like the price, for example.

At this time, Gu Yuanzhou also appeared unexpectedly in front of me.

“You’re quite well-informed, aren’t you? Rushing over here first thing?”

“Mr. Gu, don’t you have any feelings for Zhenyi Company?”
