Gu Jin Yan truly regrets it now. If, back then, he hadn’t ignored Helian Xi because of work, things wouldn’t be this way.

"Ha... is that so? I don’t believe it. If you had called Liu Xuehan shameless right in front of me at the time, regardless of her heart condition, and firmly rejected her, maybe I could trust you a bit more. But now, it’s impossible."

Helian Xi said disdainfully, "From Ji Weiyu to Liu Ruying to this Liu Xuehan, it seems you truly love Liu Xuehan. After all, you were willing to disregard my life for her.

When I ran away from home that day, you could still go to the company to meet her. I think now, if you truly loved me, I should have died that day, then you would regret and suffer for the rest of your life."

Saying this, Helian Xi laughed recklessly, seeing Gu Jin Yan’s stiff face, experiencing a sense of vengeful joy.

"Xiao Xi, must you be like this?"

"That’s right, because only this can make me happier. Weren’t you about to leave me and the child for a bit of money? Now that money is gone, and you suffered losses. This is really good news. By the way, let me show you something."

Helian Xi said, taking out a health check report from the drawer and tossing it to Gu Jin Yan.

"Look, your Xuehan sister’s health is great! She’ll live for many decades, won’t die from intense stimuli. Are you happy now? You can do more with her."

After saying this, Helian Xi left Gu Jin Yan and went to the room alone.

Gu Jin Yan looked at the report; judging by the timeline, it was from earlier this year.

So Xiao Xi knew long ago and just watched him make a fool of himself?

No wonder she feels disgusted; it is indeed disgusting!

Helian Xi didn’t really lose her feelings for Gu Jin Yan; she just couldn’t stand it.

She’s not one to put herself in a compromising position; the worse she feels, the worse she wants others to feel.

She doesn’t possess such noble character. If you hurt me, should I obediently suffer it? That’s not her principle.

She feels liberated but not entirely happy.

Gu Jin Yan didn’t mention anything about traveling again to Helian Xi, instead going to the company the next day, dismissing all those secretaries at the office and replacing them with men.

After doing this, he bought gifts and flowers and returned home.

"Xiao Xi, can we talk?" Gu Jin Yan asked, lacking confidence as he was the one who had done wrong.

In this matter, his family had harshly criticized him as well.

"There’s nothing to talk about. I don’t want to speak to you."

"Xiao Xi, today I replaced all the secretaries in the president’s office with men," Gu Jin Yan said, "In the future, I will also avoid collaborating with single women from the family. If such women appear, I’ll terminate cooperation and never see them again, alright?"

"Ha..." Helian Xi wasn’t comforted.

She felt that perhaps Gu Jin Yan didn’t really understand what she truly wanted.

It’s not that women can’t like him, nor that he can’t collaborate with women, and certainly not that the office can’t have women.

This would also count as discriminating against women.

What she wants is his unwavering love, to be always on her side.

"Xiao Xi, what do I need to do for you to forgive me?" Gu Jin Yan asked, appearing somewhat defeated, truly unsure of what would be right.
