C13 I Want a Reason

Gu Wan'an, who had been tossing and turning the whole time, finally tired out and completely passed out. Duan Yi Chen glanced at her gloomily, then slowly withdrew his hand and stood up. However, he didn't take his eyes off of her.

The person who was sleeping finally had some of the docility and gentleness that someone her age should have. Her cheeks were still bright red, and her brows were tightly knitted together.

"Young Master Duan, you broke off all ties with the Gu family's eldest daughter?" Zhou Jingqing saw his reluctant and worried expression, half joking, half seriously teasing him. The corner of his mouth had a harmless smile, but his eyes held a hint of worry.

He had witnessed everything that had happened between them.

Duan Yi Chen gave him a nonchalant glance before taking out his phone and closing the door behind him. "Don't think too much about it, it's impossible."

No one knew who he was talking to.

After leaving the hospital, he got into the car and called Gu Wanyan.

When he was arguing with Gu Wanan just now, he could feel that she didn't know about this matter. Then what was Gu Wanyan's reason for breaking up with him?

"Du du ~ ~" The mechanical voice thought for a long time before answering.

"Yi Chen …" The voice on the other end of the phone was hoarse. Even so, it could not hide her flirtatiousness.

The hand holding the phone tightened, he replied in a low voice, "Yes." He paused, "Reason."

These two simple words stunned Gu Wanyan for a moment. She waved her hand to signal the servant who brought her the clothes to go down first. "We … "Let's part ways."

Duan Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. This answer was within his expectations. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get an answer from the phone, so he hung up the phone and stepped on the accelerator.

Some things cannot be told without being seen face to face.

His lips pursed into a straight line, and his forehead was wrinkled to the point where pinpricks could be seen faintly. His hands shifted gears and passed the car in one go, rushing over to the Gu household at the fastest speed possible.

On the other side, Gu Wanyan was staring blankly at the phone screen that displayed "The call has ended". In the end, the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile as she said, "Gu Wanan, you want to fight me? You're still a few years too early." Relying on Duan Yi Chen's love for her, wanting to obtain the Gu family was like taking out a treasure.

So what if he married Gu Wan An? When all the handover ceremonies were completed, she would encourage them to kick the woman who was in their way.

"Miss, how do you see this necklace?" The servant's voice brought her mind back to reality. Looking at her beautiful eyes, Gu Wanyan was very satisfied. Since Duan Yi Chen was busy punishing her little sister, she decided that she should go out and relax and celebrate.

After packing everything up, Gu Wanyan leisurely walked to the main entrance and waited for the driver to pick her up. When she raised her head, she saw a familiar car speeding by and stopped in front of her.

The car window slowly rolled down. She looked at the man in the driver's seat with a panicked expression. She tightly grabbed the bag belt and forced a polite smile, "Yi Chen, why are you here?"

"I just want an answer." Duan Yi Chen didn't even bother to get out of the car. Instead, he looked at her from head to toe through the window, and when he looked at her face to face, his eyes were filled with amusement and undetectable ridicule.

"Nope." Gu Wanyan was a tactful person, and it was because of this that she was able to firmly occupy the position beside Duan Yi.

She opened the door of the car and sat in the passenger seat. She looked straight in front of her. Her delicate bag had a nail-print.

From the moment she got on the car, the man had been silently staring at the steering wheel. The narrow space had become increasingly cramped and her heart was pounding like a drum. If she didn't hear the faint sound of the engine, she would have thought that she was broadcasting her heartbeat live.

"The reason." In the stifling atmosphere, Duan Yi Chen's magnetic voice would only make her more nervous.

She did not understand why he had suddenly become so obsessed with reason.

He was never the one who asked for a reason. He only cared about the result.

Gu Wanyan heard her voice tremble. "The reason isn't important …"

"It's important." The man with the golden expression interrupted her without a care in the world. She finally realized that this rash action had infuriated Duan Yi Chen.

Who was he? He was someone who could cover the sky with one hand. No one dared to say half a word of 'no'. Even if she was the person he doted on, he could not do as he pleased.

Fortunately, she was prepared.

Tears were flowing down her face in an instant. "Yi Chen, I love you so much …"

Duan Yi Chen's eyes flashed, but he continued staring at the steering wheel, not looking at the crying woman.

"But... "I …" Her expression was twisted with embarrassment, as if she were about to say something unbearable, and she stammered, "I can't accept the fact that you and my sister had an affair …"

This was her final trump card.

As expected, the man's expression changed as guilt flashed past his eyes.

He could not refute the established facts.

As long as he felt guilty, this pass would be fine. She adjusted her tone and tried to work hard, but before she could finish, she heard the man's deep voice, "Wan Yan, how long have you and I known each other?"

"..." Ten years. "

Gu Wanyan didn't understand his intentions, so she could only answer honestly.

"So you think ten years isn't enough time for me to see through a person?" As he asked this question, Duan Yi Chen turned his head and looked straight at her. His dark eyes seemed to want to see her heart and dig out all of her true thoughts.

She stiffened. The man was telling the truth.

He had been in the market for so long, how could he not see through her thoughts?

"Have you thought it through now?" Not giving her much time to think, Duan Yi Chen kept pressing on her step by step, causing her to stagger as she answered, "I …" "Let me think about it …"

Luckily, Duan Yi Chen was still worried about Gu Wan An in the hospital. After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and said, "Tell me after you've thought it over."

Gu Wanyan got off the car in a daze, and was about to say something when Duan Yi Chen had already sent her a distance away, leaving her with dust and foul air.

She rubbed her arm and was surprised to find that there were tiny goosebumps on it.

Duan Yi Chen's terror came from his own oppression. Even if he didn't say anything, as long as he stared at you, you wouldn't be able to hide from him.

It took more than two hours to go from the hospital to the Gu household. By the time he got back to the hospital, Gu Wan'an had woken up.

In the hospital —

"Dr. Zhou, can I go now?" Gu Wanan wore her clothes as much as she could with a sullen face. She wrapped a blanket around herself and looked at the doctor blocking the door.

She had always known of the existence of Zhou Tingqing, but she was not familiar with him.

Zhou Jingqing was in a very difficult situation. It wasn't that he was unwilling to let them go, but he could just leave as little as he wanted and didn't even leave a message. How easy would it be? He couldn't afford to let them go.

"Doctor Zhou?" Seeing that he didn't show any reaction, Gu Wan'an walked to him by herself and was about to walk around him to open the door, but before her hand touched the handle, the door opened itself.
