After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage-Chapter 36

Three Years of Mourning for You?

“I have some company matters to attend to. You continue watching the movie, and I’ll wait for you outside.”

Gu Zhichuan left the theater early.

There wasn’t anything to take care of. He just found the scene quite disturbing. Gu Zhichuan took out a cigarette from his pocket, but when he saw the no-smoking sign, he put it back.

As the movie was nearing its end, Feng Yangyang also came out early.

“Are you done?” Feng Yangyang asked softly.

Gu Zhichuan nodded and looked up at the theater. The people inside hadn’t come out yet.

“Shall we go back now?”

Gu Zhichuan didn’t answer her. He stood in front of the “Perfect Duplication” poster without indicating whether he would leave or not.

Lin Gantang had fallen asleep.

She was sleeping quite soundly.

When she woke up, she found herself leaning on Wen Yanqing’s shoulder.

After the movie ended, Wen Yanqing woke her up. She rubbed her face, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Wen Yanqing checked the time. It was around five o’clock. “Should I take you back or shall we have a meal together?”

“Let’s go back.” Lin Gantang fixed her loose hair.

When they stepped outside, they ran into Gu Zhichuan.

Gu Zhichuan’s eyes darkened when he saw Wen Yanqing.

Feng Yangyang stood close to Gu Zhichuan, her white dress making her appear delicate. “Miss Lin, what a coincidence. Are you two… on a date?”

Lin Gantang glanced at her. “What are you doing here? We are doing the same thing. Are you on a date too?”

“No,” Gu Zhichuan replied, his gaze falling on Lin Gantang’s hair.

In the past, she had never messed with her hair. Her straight hair was long and smooth, and it was soft to the touch. He liked it very much.

Feng Yangyang’s face subtly changed at his response.

“I won’t bother you two anymore. Yanqing, let’s go,” Lin Gantang said, brushing past them.

“Sure.” Wen Yanqing nodded gently.

Gu Zhichuan turned around and stared at Wen Yanqing.

Wen Yanqing turned back, meeting his gaze with a smile in his eyes.

The meaning behind his looks…

Gu Zhichuan’s face turned slightly cold. “Gantang!”

Lin Gantang turned around. “Is there something?”

“What do you mean?” Gu Zhichuan had his hands in his pockets, his tone as icy as ever. “You just broke up, and you’re already in such a hurry to find someone else?”

“Is there a problem with that?” Lin Gantang was surprised. “Do I have to mourn for you for three years after we break up?”

Wen Yanqing burst into laughter.

Gu Zhichuan’s expression seemed to freeze. “Weren’t you most annoyed with him before? Even if you’re dating again, can’t you choose someone you like? What’s the difference between this and demeaning yourself?”

“Is it because you can’t compare to Wen Yanqing that you’re feeling upset?” Lin Gantang continued to be astonished. “My goodness, are you my dad? Not even Lin Mingzhuo is as concerned as you are.”

Lin Gantang offered some sincere advice, “Next time you go to the hospital with Miss Feng, you should go to the neurology department and have your brain checked.”

Gu Zhichuan’s face became even colder and sullener, making it quite an intense scene.

Feng Yangyang watched them leave and timidly said, “I’m sorry, Brother Gu, should I not have reminded you that they were here?”

Gu Zhichuan ignored her and walked away quickly.

Feng Yangyang followed behind, but she soon started panting heavily and stopped weakly, calling out, “Brother Gu, wait for me, please? I… I’m feeling a little unwell…”

In the Shengfang Group, Yi Qian was extremely busy.

The boss suddenly gave himself a break without warning, and the schedule changed at will.

It was unprecedented.

“Special Assistant Yi, when will the meeting be postponed to? I need to make arrangements.”

“I don’t know yet. I will inform you as soon as I receive any updates,” Special Assistant Yi said with a smile.

“The CEO said he wants to personally review this plan. The planning department is waiting for the result. What do you think?”

“Sorry, I can’t reach the CEO right now,” Special Assistant Yi continued to smile.

With the CEO’s absence, it was getting harder to maintain his forced smile.

What made their CEO give up his position and leave so impulsively?
