In the evening, Gu Wencheng called Su Ilan. At this time, Meng Nianyao was already asleep.

Gu Wencheng lit a cigarette and told Su Han about Meng Nianyao.

“Her condition appears similar to post-traumatic stress disorder,” Su Han said. “I suggest you take her to see a psychiatrist.”

Gu Wencheng frowned, unwilling to believe this result. “You sure you didn’t make a wrong diagnosis? Two months ago, she had suffered a much greater blow than now.”

“President Gu, what do you think people are?” Su Han smiled. “It’s not just people; even if it was a stone, it would still break into two pieces if it falls to the ground. A person is not harder than a stone. Meng Nianyao had suffered a bigger blow the last time, but she didn’t break down. This only meant that the tension in her heart hadn’t broken yet, but this time, it did. Of course, my judgment might not be right. Take her to see a professional psychiatrist and see what the psychiatrist has to say.”

Gu Wencheng was about to say something when he heard Meng Nianyao’s scream from the bedroom. He threw away his phone and quickly walked to the bedroom.

“No! Get lost! Don’t touch me! Meng Haotian! Please don’t touch me…”

Meng Nianyao kept writhing on the bed, cursing and crying, but her eyes were closed.

Gu Wencheng walked to the bed, afraid that she would hurt herself, and reached out to grip her hands. Meng Nianyao screamed,” No!” and then suddenly opened her eyes.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Gu Wencheng held Meng Nianyao in his arms and gently patted her back. “It’s just a nightmare. It’s not real. Don’t be afraid.”

Meng Nianyao was not in good condition. She had nightmares four or five times throughout the night and woke up crying every time. Gu Wencheng almost didn’t sleep the whole night. When he coaxed Meng Nianyao to sleep for the last time, the sky had already turned bright. He stayed by Meng Nianyao’s side for a while. After making sure that her breathing had stabilized, he gently got up and went to the balcony to smoke.

His phone and the cigarette he had lit last night were on the ground. The cigarette had already burned out, leaving only a piece of ash and a cigarette butt lying on the ground.

It was a cold morning in November. Gu Wencheng picked up his phone and glanced at it. There was an unread text message from Su Han. “Gu Wencheng, you’re tempted.”

Tempted? Towards Meng Nianyao?

Gu Wencheng narrowed his eyes and slowly blew out a ring of smoke.

Meng Nianyao woke up at 10 am. The moment she opened her eyes, she was a little dazed and subconsciously looked around. She was in Gu Wencheng’s bedroom. She heaved a sigh of relief and got up from the bed.

When she washed up, she looked much thinner in the mirror. It had only been two days since…

Gu Wencheng came in from outside. There was no one in the bedroom or in the cloakroom. He frowned, walked to the bathroom, and knocked on the door.”Meng Nianyao, are you inside?”

After waiting for about two to three minutes, no one answered. Gu Wencheng pressed the door handle and was about to push the door open when Meng Nianyao came out and looked at him.

Gu Wencheng was also looking at her. After a few seconds, he smiled faintly.”Good morning.”

Meng Nianyao pursed her lips. After a moment, she said, “Morning.”

Yesterday, Meng Nianyao didn’t respond to anyone and was in a daze. Today, she was a little better. Gu Wencheng heaved a sigh of relief. “Come downstairs for breakfast when you’re awake. You barely ate anything yesterday.”

Meng Nianyao nodded and walked toward the dining room.

Breakfast was brought over by Ping Yang. Meng Nianyao sat down at the dining table while Gu Wencheng went to get the bowls and chopsticks. Because it had been almost an hour since Pingyang brought the food over, the porridge was a little cold.

“I’ll go heat it up,”Gu Wencheng said.

“No need.” Meng Nianyao took the porridge and picked up the spoon to eat slowly.

Meng Nianyao ate very elegantly, much more elegant than many of the young ladies Gu Wencheng had seen. Her temperament, including her behavior, was very cultured. This was why Gu Wencheng had always suspected her. The environment a person grew up in determined many things. If he hadn’t checked her information beforehand, he wouldn’t have believed that she had grown up in an orphanage.

Gu Wencheng looked at Meng Nianyao thoughtfully and gradually became absent-minded.

“Gu Wencheng.” Meng Nianyao scooped the porridge in her bowl and paused. She looked up at Gu Wencheng and said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, Mrs. Gu.” Gu Wencheng smiled.

Meng Nianyao looked at him. There were many things she wanted to ask, but couldn’t bring herself to.

Over the next few days, Gu Wencheng gave Meng Nianyao a day off to rest at home and hired a new servant to accompany her..
